19、rsary of Leo Tolstoys death. He is considered by many to be one of the greatest novelists of all time. Much of the West is marking the anniversary with new translations of the authors works, including War and Peace. Movies are being released, including a black-and-white documentary and a feature fil
20、m. In short, everyone is celebrating. Everyone, that is, except for people in Tolstoys home country, Russia.The English newspaper the Guardian reports that the Russian government has scheduled nothing for November, the official anniversary of Tolstoys death. The quiet is amazing, considering the imp
21、ortance of this mans contribution to global culture.“Across the whole world there is a huge Tolstoy boom (托尔斯泰热),” Andrei Deryabin, co-producer of a new film about the authors final days titled The Last Station, told the Guardian. “Hes esteemed (尊敬) everywhere apart from here in Russia.”Experts expl
22、ain the governments silence in various ways. Some refer to Tolstoys disagreement with state-backed religion. Tolstoys Christian views often fell out with those of the Roman Catholic Church.His great-great grandson, Vladimir Ilyich Tolstoy, thinks Russias cool attitude has more to do with history and
23、 the authors positive worldview. After all, the last century was a difficult one for the countrys people. The darker writings of Fyodor Dostoevsky, he says, better fit the national character. Tolstoy hopes that as Russians grow more optimistic they will rediscover one of their own national treasures
24、.“Tolstoy gives positive answers to the questions mankind is asking,” he told the Guardian. “In this sense he gives more hope. I hope the 21st century is Tolstoyan.”41.The general idea of the first paragraph is that _.A. Tolstoy is a greatest novelist of all the timeB. Tolstoy is now more an idol th

27、d out44.According to Vladimir Ilyich Tolstoy, the Russian government didnt arrange activities to celebrate the anniversary _.A. because of Tolstoys disapproval of state-backed religionB. because of his values and historical factorC. because Fyodor Dostoevsky gives more hope to RussiaD. because Russi
28、ans have become more optimistic45.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Nowadays people translate Tolstoys works into more languages.B. War and Peace has never been translated into other languages.C. There are only two movies about Tolstoy.D. People in Russia dont regard Tolstoy
29、 as a great novelist.B. A THUNDERSTORM is a common weather phenomenon in the summer months. Some people dont take thunder and lightning seriously, but lightning can strike buildings and people and cause damage and injuries.Two weeks ago, a man in Beijing was struck by lightning when he was making a
30、phone call while walking past a tree. He died immediately.You may not be aware, but nearly 1,800 thunderstorms are happening at any given moment around the Earth. Every year lightning kills about 75 to 100 people.Lightning is an electric current. Within a thundercloud, many small bits of ice (frozen
31、 raindrops) bump into each other as they move around in the air. All of these bumps create an electric charge (电荷). After a while, the whole cloud fills up with electrical charges.Positive charges form at the top of the cloud. Negative charges form at the bottom of the cloud. Since opposites attract
32、, this causes positive charges to build up on the ground beneath the cloud. The grounds electrical charges concentrate around anything that sticks up, such as mountains, people, or single trees. The charge coming up from these points eventually connects with a charge reaching down from the clouds an
33、d - zap (咝) - lightning strikes!Scientists say that a persons chances of being struck by lightning are 1 in 600,000. But you can reduce the chances by following these safety rules.If you are indoors during a thunderstorm:Stay away from anything that is metal because lightning can come into the house
34、 through it.Dont stand near the windows.Dont take a shower or bath. Lightning can travel through water.Never use the phone. Lightning can travel though the phone line.If you are caught in a thunderstorm outdoors:Go into a nearby building or car right away.If theres no building around, try to find a
35、low place to stay in. Squat (蹲) down near the ground with your heels touching and put your hands over your ears.46.What is the article mainly about?A.Thunderstorms.B.Thunder.C.Lightning.D. Electrical charges.47.The author mentions something that happened to a man in Beijing to _.A. show how stupid t
36、he man wasB. give an example of the damage and injuries caused by lightningC. inform readers of the high incidence of death caused by lightningD. explain how to avoid being struck by lightning48.Lightning strikes when _.A. small bits of ice combine to create an electrical chargeB. positive charges a
37、t the top of the cloud connect with the negative charges at the bottomC. positive charges on the ground connect with negative charges from a thundercloudD. clouds cover something that stands up on the ground49.Who would be struck by lightning during a thunderstorm?A. Someone making phone calls near
38、a window.B.Someone in a low place outdoors.C. Someone in a car.D.Someone smoking indoors.50.Where can this passage probably be taken from?A. A newspaperB. A magazine on scienceC. A fairy taleD. A science fiction C. Stopping teens from smoking is a big challenge many communities face today. Many comm
39、unities can only watch without being able to act while local businesses continue to sell tobacco products to children, even under risk of punishment by law.Recent studies show that a large percentage of teens today are getting their cigarettes from stores, mostly gas stations or convenience store. A
40、s teens continue to be able to buy their own cigarettes, more and more communities begin to impose stronger punishments on merchants who sell to teens.One community has experienced success in their attempts to stop the sale of tobacco products to children. Woodridge, Illinois, started a program seve
41、n years ago which forbade and strictly punished the sale of tobacco products to children. The entire program includes local licensing of selling, repeated undercover inspections to see if the sale to minors has stopped, and education programs in schools. Woodridge has become a model community as oth
42、er communities are moving to stop teen tobacco use.A recent national study showed that 36.5% of females and 40.8% of males buy their cigarettes from stores, whether it be a gas station or a supermarket. Hopefully, as more and more merchants see the trouble they face if caught selling to minors, they
43、 will stop selling.True, placing pressure on stores that sell tobacco to children isnt going to completely stop the problem of teen tobacco use. Teens continue to get them from other sources. But it definitely does make it more difficult for them. With more education in schools, and perhaps stronger
44、 punishments for teens caught with tobacco, more and more teens will see the problems with the tobacco usage, and will stop the habit.51.To stop teens from smoking, more and more communities are _.A. punishing those who sell cigarettes to teens more severelyB. punishing teens caught with tobacco mor
45、e severelyC. educating those who sell cigarettes about the danger of teen smokingD. stopping the sale of tobacco products in store52.Which of the following is NOT a method Woodridge uses to stop the sale of tobacco products to children?A. Local licensing of tobacco saleB. repeated undercover inspect
46、ionC. education programs in schoolD. stronger punishment of teens caught smoking53.The passage tells us that _.A. teens can only buy cigarettes from storeB. the Woodridge practice is being adopted by most communities in the USC. more males than females smokeD. punishment alone cannot solve the probl
47、em of teen tobacco use54.What does the underlined “it” in the 5th paragraph refer to?A. tobaccoB. the problem of teen tobacco use C. to get tobaccoD. a certain source55.What attitude does the article have about stopping teen tobacco abuse?A. PessimisticB. OptimisticC. UncertainD. Indifferent.D.On Th
48、ursday September 6, 2007, the world lost an amazing musician and person. The great tenor Luciano Pavarotti lost the battle with cancer and died at 5 am in Italy. This great loss cannot go unnoticed and shouldnt. Pavarotti was an incredible individual and he tried and succeeded in making a difference
49、 in the world. Instead of looking at his death with sorrow, we should look at his death as an inspiration. Reviewing all of the contributions this man made with his life, we should try to contribute something great to the world we live in. Each person has a talent, and some, like Pavarotti, use thei
50、r talents to create a better place for everyone. Many times, some young people feel as though they are lost, asking the same questions and getting no answers: What is my purpose in life? What am I meant to do? Of course we should take time to respectfully think about Pavarotti, but we shouldnt dwell
51、 on sorrow because his death is something we cant change. What we all can do to honour this great man is to commit to making a difference and contributing something to the world.Even though not everyone is a musician, each person can learn something from Pavarottis life. The first lesson is that you
52、 do not have to become what you originally planned to be. Pavarotti was one of the greatest tenors of all time, but he did not start that way. Many people feel they are stuck on the path theyve chosen. This is not the case! Pavarotti taught elementary school for two years and was an insurance salesm
53、an while pursuing his interest. For six years, Pavarotti sang for nothing more than just a hobby until he won an international prize. Just four years later in New York, he made 379 performances and retired from stage opera in 2004, but continued to tour until his cancer diagnosis in 2006. 56. What d
54、oes the author mean by saying “we should look at his death as an inspiration”?A. We should be inspired by his death.B. We should be inspired to win the battle with cancer.C. We should be inspired to devote ourselves to becoming a musician.D. We should be inspired to make contributions to the world.5
55、7. The underlined phrase “dwell on” probably means “_”.A. talk little about B. think a lot aboutC. fix ones attention on D. look carefully at58. In the second paragraph, the author mainly intends to tell readers about _.A. reviewing all of Pavarottis contributionsB. the purpose in ones lifeC. many y
56、oung peoples doubts D. how to use talents59. What will the writer probably talk about in the 4th paragraph?A. To describe the excellence of his performancesB. To inform readers of his cancer diagnosisC. To tell readers other lessons we can learn from Pavarotti.D. To introduce his successful life as
57、a tenor.60. In which section of a newspaper does the passage appear?A. Entertainment B. Cover News C. Medicine D.

92、going to have for lunch.Text 4 With the development of science and technology, people have more spare time. But how do we spend our free time? I prefer going outdoors and spending my free time in different places and with different people. The first reason I like outdoor activities is that I have to
93、 spend so much time indoors. Most of the time I sit in the classroom, listening to teachers and doing my schoolwork. My outdoor activities are too limited. Fresh air, sunlight and enough physical exercises are necessary for a healthy body. So when I am free, I should go out. The second reason is tha
94、t I want to have more experience in my life. When you go out, far away from your daily life, you meet a lot of people who are quite different from you.
