27、阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分） 阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上涂黑。（A） July the 16th was a bad day for Mr. Arthur Johnson. In the morning, he set off from his home in Santa Barbara, California. It was the start of his summer holidays and he decided to visit friends at Las Vegas and he hoped to go f
28、ishing in Lake Mead, 40 km from Las Vegas. Johnsons troubles started while he was driving happily across the Mojave Desert. His car went wrong and he tried to repair it. Then, to make matters worse, his attempts to start the car used up the battery and left useless. After Johnson had waited an hour
29、in the hot sun, a Canadian driver, John Williams, stopped and tried to help him. When both men failed, Williams promised to telephone a workshop to ask it to send a truck to pull the car away and repair its fuel pump. Johnson left the keys in his car and sat in the shade of a large tree. Soon he fel
30、l asleep, a repair truck arrived from San Pedro (the nearest town) and pulled his car away. Later on, Johnson woke up and thought that somebody had stolen his car. He started to walk back toward San Pedro but a police car stopped him to find out why he was walking in the desert. Johnson looked like
31、a man wanted in Los Angeles for robbery, so the police detained him at San Pedro for the night. the next day, Johnson telephoned his friends in Los Angeles. They drove to San Pedro and made the police believe that Johnson was a harmless salesman, so they set him free. 56. Johnsons car went wrong _.
32、A. when he was near the Mojave desert B. after he had passed San Pedro C. before he left Santa Barbara D. not far from Los Angeles 57. The underlined word “detained” probably means _. A. caughtB. controlledC. keptD. hurt 58. How did Williams help Johnson? A. He persuaded the police to set him free.
33、B. He went to ask the police for help. C. He drove Johnson into San Pedro. D. He arranged to have his car repaired.（B） Sometimes in the next century, the familiar early-newspaper on the front porch will disappear. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. Youll get up and turn on t
34、he computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. Youll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story? A simple touch
35、makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer if you like. These are among the predictions from communication experts working on the newspaper of the future. Pictured as part of broader home based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broadc
36、ast reporting, offering news and analysis with video images of news events. Most of the technology is available now, but convincing（说服） more people that they dont need paper to read a newspaper is the next step. But resistance to computer newspapers may be stronger from within journalism. Since it i
37、s such a cultural change, it may be that the present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die off before the next generation realize that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable. Despite technologic
38、al advances, it could take decades to replace news-print with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial（金融的） interests in the paper industry. 59. The best title for this passage is
39、_. A. Computer Newspapers Are Well Liked B. Newspapers of the Future Will Likely Be on Computers C. Paper Newspapers Are out of Fashion D. Communications Technology in the Future 60. It might take 30 or 40 years for computer newspapers to replace traditional newspapers because _. A. it is technologi
40、cally impossible now B. computer newspapers are too expensive C. both the general people and professional journalists are against them D. traditional newspapers are easy to read 61. Which of the following is NOT an advantage of computer newspapers? A. They are cheaper than newspapers. B. They are co
41、nvenient to use. C. You can get more information from them quickly. D. You can easily save information for future use. 62. The reason why journalists are not eager to accept computer newspapers is that _. A. they dont know how to use computers B. they think computer newspapers take too much time to
42、read C. they are afraid that they might be unfit for their jobs D. they have been trained to work for traditional newspapers 63. We can infer from the passage that _. A. all technological changes are good B. all technologies will eventually replace old ones C. new technologies will replace old ones
43、sooner or later D. traditional newspapers will stay for another century（C） Most mothers have a good piece of advice: Never go into a supermarket hungry! If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, youll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isnt enough for co
44、nsumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the grocery store. First, you should check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need those things. In other words, dont buy anything just because its cheaper th
45、an usual! Second, such words like “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” in front of a package may influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients on the back. Third, compare prices. That is, you should examine the prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand. Another sug
46、gestion for consumers is to buy generic items instead of famous brands. Generic items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because manufacturers dont spend much money on packaging or advertising. The quality, however, is usually equal to the quality of well-known name b
47、rands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount（折扣） clothing stores can also help you save a lot of money. Although these stores arent very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms
48、, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brand that you find in high-priced department stores. Wise consumers read magazines advertisements and watch TV ones, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consu
49、mers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the advertisements, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these
50、 questions consumers can make a wise choice. 64. The authors main purpose to write this passage is to _. A. suggest that consumers buy generic items instead of famous brands B. give some pieces of advice to consumers C. persuade readers to take the advice of most mothers D. convince consumers that a
51、dvertisements are not reliable 65. Which of the following statements is NOT true to the underlined phrase “generic items”? A. Generic items never say “New and Improved” or “All Natural”. B. Generic items are usually cheaper than famous brands. C. Manufacturers spend less money on packaging of generi
52、c items. D. The quality of generic items is usually as good as that of well-known brands. 66. According to the writer, advertisements are _. A. believableB. full of misinformation C. attractiveD. helpful to consumers 67. Which of the following is one of the authors suggestions to the consumers? A. T
53、o make use of the advertisements. B. Not to buy items with the words like “New and Improved” or “All Natural”. C. To buy high quality items such as famous brands only after lunch. D. To buy any generic items instead of famous brands.（D） Governments need to strengthen the protection available to agri
54、cultural workers in order to containor better yet reducethe number of pesticide（刹虫剂）poisonings that farmers suffer, FAO and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) said today. As estimated, one to five million cases of pesticide poisoning occur every year, resulting in several thousand deaths among agri
55、cultural workers. Most of these poisonings occur in the developing world where safe health standards can be unsatisfactory or non-existent. Although these countries use only 25% of global pesticide production, they account for a shocking 99% of the related deaths. The vast majority of these poisonin
56、g cases involve farmers and farm workers. This is not surprising since farm workers have the greatest direct contact with these chemicals, applying them on crops and working in fields or orchards where pesticides are used. The families of farmers, particularly children and infants, are also extremel
57、y defenceless. In many countries, children may have to help out on family-owned farms where pesticides are used, or they may be obliged to transport goods treated with pesticides for local businesses. In developed countries, the most dangerous pesticides are either banned or strictly controlled, and
58、 agricultural workers who handle pesticides wear protective clothing and equipment. This is not always the case in developing countries, where too often workers lack proper equipment, or the climate is too hot and wet to wear such clothing comfortably. Their spraying equipment（喷洒器）may leak, and beca
59、use workers may not have easy methods to wash equipment, they often wear polluted clothing throughout the day, eating and drinking with polluted hands. As this case shows, the risk factors that contribute to pesticide poisonings in developing countries are often out of the workers direct control. Fa
60、rmers must therefore rely on governments to take additional measures to reduce the risks to which they are exposed. 68. Where can you guess the passage may be taken from? A. A magazine.B. A newspaper. C. A book.D. A textbook. 69. In developing countries pesticides are used _. A. without being banned
61、 or strictly controlled B. with either being banned or strictly controlled C. by the families of farmers, and particularly children and infants D. by government workers 70. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Most of the pesticide poisoning related deaths occur in developing countries. B. Only 25
62、% of pesticide products are used in the developing countries. C. Every year about one to five million agricultural workers die from pesticide poisonings. D. It is impossible for farm workers not to contact pesticides directly. 71. The best headline for the passage is _. A. Be careful of Pesticide Po
63、isonings in Developed Countries B. The Government Warns the Farmers against Pesticide Poisonings C. FAO and UNEP Call for stronger safety Measures D. How to Protect Yourselves（E） Some parents try to protect their children from unpleasant realities like illness, financial loss and death, but psychoth
64、erapist（心理治疗家）point out that children can often end up feeling left out if they are old enough to understand whats going on, but are not told the truth about family worries. One father told me how deeply he regrets that he and his late wife did not tell their son that she was dying of cancer. “For m
65、onths we kept the truth to ourselves. We thought we were protecting our son from emotional pain,” he recalls. “It was a great mistake. I had time to prepare myself, but my son was stunned out（击昏，震惊）by his mothers death. It was years before he trusted me again.” Judith Davenport, a psychotherapist sa
66、ys, “Its important to let children experience the reality of death, if it can be done in an atmosphere of love and caring. A child whose sibling, parent or grandparent is seriously ill can be made to fell helpful by being allowed to run errands（跑腿）. Even a very young child can comfort a sick loved o
67、ne with a cheering visit.” In money matters, if children are not told the facts about a financial setback, they may imagine the worst. For example, they might think they will have no food to eat or will lose their home. Even the busiest families can arrange to share a relaxed evening meal together a
68、t least once or twice a week. Mealtimes are often the only time that families can engage in exciting conversations. Another way to strengthen family closeness is to encourage your youngsters to invite a friend for dinner from time to time, giving each child a turn at choosing the guest. This makes p
69、arents get to know their childrens friends, and also helps youngsters feel that they are respected members of the family. A joint effort can be exciting if you choose one that everyone enjoys. Try planting and farming the garden, or learning how to bake bread from scratch. One father recalls the sha
70、red sense of success he and his son experienced when they finished building a dining-room table. “We started six months ago with plans and planks,” he says, “When the job was done, we looked at each other and said, Wow! We did it!” 72. Judging from the passage, the underlined word “sibling” in the t
71、hird paragraph probably means _. A. friendB. brother or sister C. cousinD. relative 73. What does the writer suggest as regards strengthening family ties? A. Youngsters should invite their friends to dinner at home. B. Parents had better plant and cultivate a vegetable garden. C. Make sure to let th
72、e children know at once if someone in your family is going to die. D. Parents should tell their children of the financial problem in the family so that they will be prepared psychologically. 74. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Parents should try to communicate with their children.
73、B. Children do not have to experience death. C. Children can help a lot when some family member is ill. D. Not telling children the truth may cause greater anxiety in them. 75. Why does building a dining-room table give the father and son a shared sense of success? A. Because others didnt believe th
74、ey could really make it. B. Because building a table is a great pleasure. C. Because building a table is not an easy thing. D. Because they have achieved something with a joint effort.第II卷（非选择题 共35分）第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分35分）第一节 情景作文（满分20分） 随着网络的发展，电子贺卡越来越受到人们的青睐，特别是青年一代。请根据以下提示，阐述电子贺卡的优越性。 1. 可播放动画和声音； 2
