22、h troops had been sent there to keep the excited colonists under control. Paul Revere was one of those who believed that the British would soon be on the march against the villages and farms near Boston. On the night of the eighteenth of April,1775,Revere rowed across the Charles River to a place op
23、posite Boston where his saddled horse was ready to ride. if the British soldiers came, he was to ride to warn the people. A friend in Boston was hidden near the British troops in a place where he could watch what they did. If they marched by land, he was to hang one Lantern high in the tower of the
24、old North Church in Boston where Paul could see it. If they came by sea, he would hang up two lanterns. Toward morning Revere saw two lights in the tower. The British must be coming by sea! He jumped on his horse and rode through the countryside before dawn in order to warn the farmers and villagers
25、 that they must fight at daybreak. he rode all night, and in the morning, by the time the troops arrived, the farmers were hidden all along the roads with their guns loaded.

BLiberia, the oldest independent Negro state in West Africa, has been struggling for survival ever since its foundation in 1822. Progress has been hampered( 妨碍) by constant hostility between the American Negroes w
31、hose families returned there in the early 19th century, and the West Africans whose ancestors never left the continent. Though the two groups are of the same race, they are divided by language and outlook and regard each other with deep suspicion（怀疑） creating a conflict which was not foreseen by Lib
32、erias founders.In addition, neighboring states, native tribes, disease, and poverty have made life dangerous and difficult. The government has tried desperately, through loans and a trickle of trade, to make ends meet. Anxiety about financial matters lessened somewhat when, in 1910, the United State
33、s accepted responsibility for Liberias survival. However, not until Harvey Firestone, the American rubber king, decided that the United States must produce its own rubber-with Liberia as the site of the rubber plantations-did Liberia have much hope of paying its debts and balancing its budget.The ru
34、bber industry, founded in the 1920s ,and the activity that followed it brought both progress and profit to Liberia. Before that time Liberia had no roads, no mechanical transport and no good port; its people had little education and few tools. Liberians feel that the country is being ruled by rubber

American Negroes in West Africa B. Liberia- a poor count
39、ryC. Liberia and its developmentD. Liberia -a country with rich rubber and ironC Due to climate change, Arctic ice is breaking up earlier in the spring, and its area is decreasing. This is creating problems for polar bears that make their homes off northern Alaska and in Hudson Bay.Polar bears off A
40、laska normally hunt and raise their young on ice sheets that float on the ocean. But as the ice has melted, the polar bears have been forced to spend more time on land. There, they have begun to frequent beaches, feeding on the remains of whales caught by native hunters. For polar bears, this food i
41、s less nutritious than seals that they normally catch on ice sheets. The shrinking（减少） ice has also forced more polar bears into the ocean. In the past, they only had to swim short distances between ice sheets. But as the ice has shrunk, polar bears have been forced to swim longer and longer distanc
42、es in the open ocean. This poses a severe danger during rough weather, and an increasing number of drowned polar bears have been observed.In Hudson Bay, the ice breaks up three weeks earlier in the spring now than it did 20 years ago. Polar bears on Hudson Bay fast（绝食） during the summer, waiting for
43、 ice to form in the fall to hunt. Every year, the summer gets longer, and the bears get skinnier. Over the past 25 years, the average weight of the female bears has dropped 68 kg. This loss affects their ability to reproduce, and already the number of births has dropped 15 percent. Unless the bears
44、can learn to survive these climate changes, these giants of the ice may one day disappear.51. What is Arctic ice doing earlier each year?A. Its freezing. B. Its hardening. C. Its melting. D. Its expanding.52. What is true of polar bears that are spending more time on land in Alaska?A. Their young ar
45、e dying. B. Their diet is changing. C. Their health is improving. D. Their families are growing.53. What do polar bears in Hudson Bay do during the summer? A. They claim territory(地域). B. They protect mates. C. They hunt animals. D. They stop feeding 54. What does the writer imply about female polar
46、 bears in Hudson Bay ? A. They are having fewer young now. B. They suffer from various sicknesses. C. They dont need stronger protection. D. They cant find enough good males.55. In which publication would you most likely find this passage?A. Medical News B. Society Today C. Wildlife Journal D. Desig

Attractions for producers and participants E. Definition of “watch and dial ”show F. Introduction to ne
48、w reality shows 56. European television had the idea of taking ordinary people and turning them into “stars ”by putting them in unusual situation .”Big Brother”(created in Holland )was one of the first. A group of people were locked in a small house with cameras running 24 hours a day .It was called
49、 a “watch and dial ”show because viewers vote by telephone to decide who should leave or stay. 57.“Big Brother” was probably the fist of the new reality shows, but such a programme has developed. Many have found appeal by having a theme to them, but most are based on the principle of “survival of th
50、e fittest ”by eliminating participants as the series progresses .So we have the dating shows where winners either pair off or stay true to their partners outside the TV studio .Then there are those that test peoples abilities for specific jobs like running a kitchen, becoming an interior designer or
51、 a top model .58.Critics say these programmes are basically bad television, but people watch them. So why are there so many of them? For the viewer its an opportunity to “people watch”. Its natural to like watching other people. Theyre interesting. We can imagine what we would do in that situation.
52、We get to know the characters and see them grow and develop week after week. And of course, television is the perfect place to watch people. Like the theatre or cinema we can look at other people and they cant look back .But with television, we can watch in the privacy of our own homes, We watch, bu
53、t we dont have to admit it to anyone .59.The TV companies like reality shows because they are cheap to produce and attract younger viewers, which advertisers like. The last “Big Brother” in Britain attracted enormous advertising revenue. They arent dependent on “star” actors with enormous salaries.
54、And your actors wont go on strike. And why do people participate in them ?Well ,for fame and money of course. In the past ,appearing on television wasnt for ordinary people. You had to be good at something ,like sport, or reading the news, or acting .But not any more 60.It seems that most shows do w
55、ell at the beginning but then the viewing figures begin to fall .And it varies from country to country too. For example ,one show had an adopted child try to guess the identity of her real father, and another had a family arguing over an inheritance .Both were cancelled after one episode. Perhaps th
56、e novelty has worn off. Certainly, reality TV seems to appeal much more to the younger audience. And now there are so many shows around even the young have become more critical. Reality show will probably surviveits just no longer so easy to make a successful one . 写作（共两节，满分40分）第一节：短语填空（共10小题，满分10分）

66、next to 20. Canadians任务型作文：Will house-robots replace housewives?Scientists believe that the house-robots will replace housewives in the future with the rapid development of science so that housewives will be freed from daily boring housework and enjoy a better life. I agree with the author to a larg
67、e measure. I consider that the use of robots means the social development of science and technology because robots can free people from such dull housework. Whats more, some high-intelligence robots can be designed to take care of the family remembers, such as babies and elderly ones as well. Howeve
68、r, it is still too expensive to use the machine nowadays, which will cost a lot to repair it when it is out of order. Furthermore, the machine moves slowly, unable to communicate with people in a real sense. Not every family can afford a high-intelligence robot.In brief, robots are useful for our families. But it should be built like humans, and it should not be too expensive. I think it will take quite a long time to actually bring the house-robots into our families.
