26、re more than almost two million cars on the streets of Shanghai. Thats not a big number _41_ to the citys population of 23 million, but everyone agrees that traffic is a big problem here. And many people would argue that its not the number of cars on the road, but the _42_ of the drivers that is the
27、 main cause of concern. According to one survey, 37% of Shanghai drivers have less than three years of driving experience. Many of these drivers are middle-aged and have never operated machinery more _43_ than a washing machine. On the road, they drive fast when they should drive slow, _44_ use turn
28、 signals, and make right turns on red lights without stopping first. And in the past year, there have been several incidents that resulted in pedestrian deaths when _45_ drivers mistook the gas pedal for the brake (刹车)pedal.There are new regulations _46_ at making it more difficult for people to get
29、 a drivers license, but that is only a partial solution to Shanghais traffic problems. What is really needed is a _47_ in drivers attitudes. There seems to be a lack of concern for safety on the part of drivers: their own safety and the safety of others. You can see this every day as drivers change
30、lanes aggressively and _48_ pedestrians at crosswalks and intersections.A car is a great convenience, but it can also be a _49_ weapon. Drivers will have to realize that before Shanghais streets can become truly safe. III. Reading Comprehension (50%)Section ADirections: For each blank in the followi
31、ng passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.German universities, known for their excellence throughout the world in the early part of the 20th century, are in a state of decline, according to Michael Burda, a
32、n American economics professor at Berlins Humholdt UniversityBurda claims that Germanys 300 schools of 50 learning are being hurt by “a long-time shortage of general 51 “No statistic（统计数字） makes this more evident than a low proportion of young Germans actually 52 university-level degrees,” he saysOn
33、ly 22 per cent of German students aged 24-34 53 complete their university studiesThats compared to 31 percent in the UK, and 39 percent in the US, 54 the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development （OECD）One reason for the decline is that Germany spends barely 11 per cent of its gross 55
34、product （GDP） on higher education, compared to 26 percent in the US“ A central reason why so few Germans 56 university degrees here is the deterioration （下降/退化） in the 57 of educationThis certainly comes from the rise in the number of students per teacherThose who have the will and the means often s

41、eir credit-card information may never receive the goods they bought.The thieves then go shopping with your card number or sell the information over the Internet.Computers hackers(黑客) have broken down security systems, raising questions about the safety of cardholder information. Several months ago,2
42、5 000 customers of CD Universe, an on-line music retailer(批发商),were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a Web site after the retailer refused to pay US $157 828 to get back the information.Credit-card firms are now fighting against on-line fraud.

(B)Before we send humans into deep space, well have to find out just how long the human body can survive in a weightless environment. One problem is th
49、at in space theres no physical sensation to let you know when youre upside down and astronauts have to rely on possible clues from their surroundings. A few hours after reaching orbit(轨道), one in three of all astronauts will experience space sicknessa feeling rather like carsickness. There is also t
50、he problem of protection from the extreme hazards(危险) of space such as constant meteorite bombardment(陨星轰击) and radiation. It is going to take some clever technology to keep rockets and astronauts from these dangers.Even with a well-protected spaceship, space travel isnt going to be easy. No matter
51、what you travel in, it is going to be a long flight in space! Science fiction writers often imagine using suspended animation(动画), a kind of forced long-term sleep, as a way for astronauts to escape the boredom of long missions.An even stronger measure might be to freeze the astronauts. We already u
52、se cryogenic(低温) techniques to preserve dead bodies and store human embryos(胚胎). Freezing living adults may not be so far away, but perhaps we dont have to do that. Perhaps we should use our existing technology and send frozen embryos to the far corners of universe.Hundreds of years from now, billio
53、ns and billions of miles away, the embryos will be thawed(解冻) and their hearts will start beating. These astronauts of the future will not grow inside a mothers body but will be produced in a machine. They will be brought up by robot. It may seem strange but one day it might just happen.69. We can l
54、earn from the passage that _.A. scientists already use existing technology to store embryos for space flightB. cryogenic techniques will practically be used for space flight in hundreds of yearsC. it may be easier to freeze embryos than to freeze adults on the spaceshipD. most astronauts will suffer

The passage is mainly about _.A. the bright future of space flightB. the possibility to
56、 train embryo astronautsC. the physical and mental conditions of astronautsD. the problems and the possible solutions to them in long space flights ( C )NASDAQ, acronym for the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation system, is one of the largest markets in the world for the t
57、rading of stocks. The number of companies listed on NASDAQ is more than that on any of the other stock exchange in the United States, including the New York Stock Exchange(NYSE) and the American Stock Exchange (AMSE). The majority of companies listed on NASDAQ are smaller than most of those on the N
58、YSE and AMSX. NASDAQ has become known as the home of new technology companies, particularly computer and computer-related businesses. Trading on NASDAQ is started by stock brokers(经纪人) acting on behalf of their clients. The brokers negotiate with market makers who concentrate on trading specific sto
59、cks to reach a price for the stock. Unlike other stock exchange, NASDAQ has no central location where trading takes place. Instead, its market makers are located all over the country and make trades by telephone and via the Internet. Because brokers and market makers trade stocks directly instead of
60、 on the floor of a stock exchange, NASDAQ is called an over-the-counter market. The term over-the counter refers to the direct nature of the trading, as in a store where goods are handed over a counter. Since its inception(开市) in 1971, the NASDAQ Stock Market has been the innovator(创新者). As the worl
61、ds first electronic stock market, NASDAQ long ago set a precedent(先例) for technological trading innovation that is unrivaled(无对手的). Now ready to become the worlds first truly global market, the NASDAQ Stock Market is the market of choice for business industry leaders worldwide. By providing an effic
62、ient environment for raising capital NASDAQ has helped thousands of companies achieve their desired growth and successfully make the leap into public ownership.72. What is TRUE of NASDAQ?A.

63、y companies.D. It lists the biggest number of companies.73. The word” negotiate”(Line 8,Para.1) means _. A. discuss B. argue C. interfere D. cope74.

64、ng in 1971, NASDAQ has contributed to _.A. raising money for many companies B. creating an efficient environment for many companiesC. the expected development of many companiesD. the unexpected development of many companiesSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable hea
65、ding from the list A - F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. The great impact and progress in genetic engineeringB. Worries about privacy protectionC. Worries about medical use of genetic engineeringD. Genetic knowledge helps to predict diseasesE. Possibilities of
66、 misuse genetic knowledgeF. The application of genetic engineering in the medical fields76. _Current research into the human gene system is helping us understand why people have predispositions（易患某病倾向） to certain diseases. Knowing our genetic makeup can help us to judge whether or not we may be stri
67、cken by particular illness, such as cancer. Even before birth, we are able to do genetic screenings to determine what a childs genetic disorder will be. Scientists have already isolated and identified the genes responsible for the more than 4,000 genetic diseases that affect human beings.77. _The im
68、plications of this knowledge are astonishing. In addition to predicting genetic predisposition towards diseases, gene therapies may provide new treatments or cures for serious diseases. Millions of people already use genetically engineered drugs to treat heart disease, cancer, AIDS, and strokes（中风）.
69、 But with the research that is now being conducted, we may find cures to many more diseases. In the near future, genetic experimentation will also allow parents to select the traits of their children. Genetic traits that determine height, weight, eye and hair color will be able to be controlled, and
70、 many parents are excited about this potential. 78. _Many people, however, are unwilling to accept the possibilities genetic research. For example, one reason some women do not use the largest genetic testing for breast cancer is because they are afraid they will be discriminated against. Another pr
71、oblem is that many people do not want to discover their weakness. What if they learn that they have a disease for which there are no medical cures? How will such knowledge affect their lives? Do people really want to know what they will die of?79. _Many people believe that history has not always sho
72、wn human decision-making to be bright when it comes to ethical（道德的）choices. Jeremy Rifkin is probably the most well known opponent of genetic engineering. He believes that humans are not responsible enough to experiment with genes and should not play God He asks, Just because it can be done, does th
73、at mean it should be done? He points out that our society will eventually look and act the same if parents select the traits of their children, and he questions the desirability of such a society. 80. _One of the fears expressed about genetic experimentation involves privacy. Already blood sample ta
74、ken from patients in hospitals have been used for genetic research without the patients permission. Most people would agree that ones health and genetic makeup are private concerns. But if insurance companies gain access to this information, it could have a large impact on insurance coverage or cost
75、s; if employers gain access to the information, it could have a large impact on hiring or promotion decisions. The possibilities for discrimination are obvious. Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.（No more
76、 than 12 words）A long-awaited final report from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concludes that foods from healthy cloned animals and their offspring are as safe as those from ordinary animals, effectively removing the last US regulatory barrier to the marketing of meat and milk from cloned ca
77、ttle, pigs and goats.The 968-page final risk assessment, not yet released but obtained by The Washington Post, finds no evidence to support peoples concerns that food from clones may have hidden risks.But, recognizing that a majority of consumers are wary of（谨慎的）food from clonesand that cloning coul
78、d damage the good image of American milk and meatthe report includes hundreds of pages of raw data so that others can see how it came to its conclusions.The report also acknowledges that human health concerns are not the only subject raised by the coming-out of cloned farm animals.“Moral, religious
79、and ethical concerns have been raised,” the agency notes in a document accompanying the report. But the report is “exactly a science-based assessment.” It reports, because the agency is not authorized by law to consider those issues.In practice, it will be years before foods from clones make their w
80、ay to store shelves in large quantities, in part because the clones themselves are too valuable to kill or milk. Instead, the expensive animalsreplicas(复制品) of some of the finest farm animals ever born will be used firstly as breeding stock to create what supporters say will be a new generation of s
81、uperior farm animals.When food from those animals hits the market, the public may yet have its say. FDA officials have said they do not expect to require food from clones to be labeled as such, but they may allow foods from ordinary animals to be labeled as not from clones.81. What conclusion has FD

It makes both teaching and le
90、arning easier and more interesting. Our teachers used to speak alone all the time in class, keeping students busy taking notes and leaving us no time to think. As a result, what was taught in class was difficult to understand or to remember. The classes were so dull that we gradually lost interest i

With the help of computers and other equipment, the students in our school can not only listen, but also watch and speak a lot in class, which makes what is dull or difficult easier to understand and remember. Now English classes have becom

Its indeed a helpful complement to the traditional educational means. It can provide different students with more flexible and versatile ways of learning.Yours
