21、es, having 42 him $ 20 that very morning, were heading for Congo!

28、ix the very best students from different cities in Guandong province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best student of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Peking or Tsinghua University; when the highest enrollment （录取）rate of Hong Kong Science and Ind

29、ustry University reached 48:1, its the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.Years ago, the answer certainly would be “Peking or Tsinghua University”. But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have

30、 gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students.Its no doubt to call this HK craze（狂热）,which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves.How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Peking and Tsinghua and attract so many mainland students?

31、First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden of many families, its easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering

32、 of HK universities is great.Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual（双语）education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students.Further more, university students in Hong Kong have a better

33、chance to study abroad as exchange students.Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University calm as before when facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain

34、 it. The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China. After the awakening and action taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities.At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuitio

35、n fees（学费）are among students top concern when they are choosing universities. Its time to move.56What is the passage mainly talking about?ASome thought brought by the enrollment of HK universities. BHigher education in Hong Kong.CThe competition between HK University and Peking University. DThe fall

36、 of mainland universities.57Top students from mainland apply for HK universities because .Amany students now would love to study aboard to get a better experience.Bthey concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities.CHK universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and mo

37、re opportunities for their further study. DPeking university has lost its worldwide reputation.58What is the authors attitude toward the competition brought by HK universities? AThe government should take relevant measures to stop this unfair competition.BMainland universities had better lower their

38、 tuition fees and win back the top students.CUniversities both in mainland and in HK would get an entire improvement during the competition. DIt may probably cause a complete loss both sides in the end.59From the passage we can see HK universities . Adidnt mean to enroll top students from mainland B

39、didnt expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popularChave strict enrollment rules and only 1 out of 48 students can get the chance to study there Dare proud of their teaching staff and facilities60What does the author mean by saying “Its time to move” in the last paragraph?AMainlan

BThe opportunities come for top students to study abroad.CMainland universities should make full preparations to challenge mainland universities. DTop students should be offered further education free of charge.B Not all me

41、mories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emptional scars. Often they relive experiences in nightmares. Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which wil

42、l help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemica

43、ls that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. They are not sure to what degree peoples memories are affected.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a ba

44、d idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can ruin peoples lives. They come back to you when you dont want to have them in a d

45、aydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change peoples memories and changing memories

46、is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. Im not sure we want to wipe those memories out,” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethici

52、 wasnt able to understand her love of music. “She asked me, How do you know which words to sing at which point and how do you know how long to say the word? and just asked me questions like that,” she said. So Townsend made a music video for her friend, an ASL version of Sixpence None the Richters K

The company has been working with FAA to meet aircraft regulations, and with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to meet vehicle safety regulations.The company is aiming to sell the Transition to private pilots as a more convenient and cheaper way to fly

63、. They say it saves you the trouble from trying to find another mode of transportation to get to and from airports: You drive the car to the airport and then youre good to go. When you land, you fold up the wings and hit the road. There are no expensive parking fees because you dont have to store it

65、ther instead of flying into marginal(临界)conditions.The Transitions price tag: $194,000, But there may be additional charges for options like a radio, transponder or GPS.

70、卷（非选择题 共45分）第四部分 书面表达（请将答案写在答题纸上）(共两节，满分45分)第一节：阅读表达（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分）1Scientists in the United States are working on a technology that uses human energy to power devices like cell phones, laptop computers, and GPS systems. 2Tom Krupenkin, who teaches electrical engineering at the University of Wisc

71、onsin and his team want to reduce dependence on costly and polluting batteries. Instead of using batteries for power, they have turned to human beings and have placed a device in a shoe that collects and stores energy from human motion and turns it into electricity. One part of this device is an ene

72、rgy harvester. It has two small containers filled with thousands of very small drops of liquid. These droplets get pushed back and forth as a person walks and can directly convert it into electric power. Output of this energy is stored in a regular rechargeable tiny battery of the style that we have

73、 in cell phones. 3The team has also developed a system to permit use of the stored energy by common mobile devices. It does not require connections with wires, and can be used to create a wireless signal. A cell phone that uses the wireless “hotspot” from the shoe would use much less power if a wire

74、less telephone network. The devices are about the size of a credit card. Professor Krupenkin says the system is always powered. So unlike a traditional battery, this energy harvester never needs to be recharged. 4The professor says he does not expect this invention to replace traditional batteries.

75、But it will help reduce dependence on them. He says there are a huge number of possible uses for this technology. Professor Krupenkin thinks the technology would be useful for people in rural areas where there is no electrical power. 5He stresses that it makes a lot of sense for people who depend on

76、 devices like mobile phones and laptop computers. And he says the technology could be used by soldiers who must carry battery powered electronic devices into difficult territory(地区).76. What does the author mainly introduce to us in the text?(no more than 10 words) 77. Fill in the blank in paragraph

77、 3 with proper words or phrases.(no more than 5 words) 78. Why doesnt the energy harvester need to be recharged?(no more than 5 words) . 79. What does Tom Krupenkin expect this invention to do?(no more than 10 words) . 80. Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 into Chinese. 第二节 书面表达（满分30分

79、student from Class 1, Senior. Im writing to draw your attention to some improper behaviouramong us students: littering and scribbling. It makes our school dirty and unpleasant, and does harm to the image of our school. I always feel ashamed whenever I see this. It is clearly not appropriate for a st

80、udent to litter and scribble about. I wonder if the school could place more dustbins around and set up specific rules againstsuch behaviour. At the same time, students should be encouraged to develop good habits and better behave themselves. I believe that, with the joint efforts of both teachers and students, our school will become a more enjoyable place in the near future.Thank you for your consideration.Yours faithfully, Li Hua
