With a TV set in the family people do
16、nt have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera. All they have to do is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing.
17、He does not even have to use his legs if he has a remote control. He makes no choice, does no exercises, and makes no judgment. He is completely passive （被动的）and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and t
18、he latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into ones sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a
19、danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it, so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenl
20、y found that they have far more time to do things and that they actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesnt it?There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that determine its value

23、it keeps us informed D. it enables us to have a rest45. According to the passage, whether TV is good or not depends on _. A. where we buy it B. how we think about it C. how we make use of it D. where we make use of it(B)Kobe Bryant （科比）was born with basketball already in his blood. His dad was a for
24、mer NBA star. When Kobe was six years old, his dad started playing basketball in Europe, so his family moved to Italy. The family stayed there for seven years. While living in Italy, Kobe learned to speak fluent Italian and started playing basketball.The family moved back to the United States when K
25、obe was 13 and he started playing high school basketball. Kobe figured he was already good enough to play in the NBA, so he skipped college and was selected right after high school by the Charlotte Hornets in the first round of the 1996 NBA Draft. In a trade the Hornets are still crying about, they
26、sent Kobe to the LA Lakers. Despite not going to college, Kobe was a quick learner on the courts of the NBA. He played in the NBA All-Star Game for the first time in 1998 and by 2000, Kobe had developed into one of basketballs best players. Kobe and Shaquille ONeal teamed up to lead the LA Lakers to
27、 three straight NBA Championship Titles from 2000 to 2002.In 2003, Kobe was caught by the police. In 2004, the case against Kobe was dropped, but Kobe still had to live with a damaged reputation.In 2004, Kobe tried to prove that he could lead the LA Lakers without Shaq. After Kobe told the Lakers he
28、 wouldnt be wearing the purple and gold if Shaq was in the team, ONeal was traded to the Miami Heat before the 2004-2005 season. The trade was good news for the Heat, who won the NBA championship with ONeal. In the next few years, Kobe grew disappointed as his team repeatedly suffered first round ex
29、its. The 2007-2008 season is when the LA Lakers finally got over the hump. They went on to have the best record of any team.46. By the first sentence, the author means _.A. Kobes blood was special when he was born B. all of Kobes family members are basketball playersC. Kobe liked to play with a bask
30、etball as a baby D. Kobe was born to be a basketball player47. We can infer from the second paragraph that _.A. the Charlotte Hornets regretted trading KobeB. in 1998, Kobe became one of basketballs best playersC. the LA Lakers have won three NBA Championship Titles till nowD. Kobe was confident abo
31、ut his playing before high school48. What is the right order of the following events? _.a. Shaq was traded to the Heat.b. Kobe was caught by the police.c. Kobes family moved to Italy.d.

33、uce the LA lakers(C)Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more
34、distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager. “ I would never have said to my mom, Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it? ” says Ballmer. “ There was just a complete gap in taste.” Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and exp
35、ectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits. Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfor
36、table and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood. No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friend.” But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less
37、respect for parents. “Theres still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,” says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. “ In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.” Family researchers offer
38、 a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say. “My parents were on the before side of that change, but todays parents, the
39、 40-year-olds, were on the after side,” explains Mr. Ballmer. “ Its not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now.”51. The underlined word “gulf” in Para.3 most probab
40、ly means_. A. interest B. distance C. difference D. separation52. Which of the following shows that the generation gap is disappearing? _. A. Parents help their children develop interests in more activities. B. Parents put more trust in their childrens abilities. C. Parents and children talk more ab
41、out sex and drugs. D. Parents share more interests with their children.53. The change in todays parent-child relationship is_. A. more confusion among parents B. new equality between parents and children C. less respect for parents from children D. more strictness and authority on the part of parent
42、s54. By saying “todays parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the after side”, the author means that todays parents_. A. follow the trend of the change B. can set a limit to the change C. fail to take the change seriously D. have little difficulty adjusting to change55. The purpose of the passage is to_
43、. A. describe the difficulties todays parents have met with B. discuss the development of the parent-child relationship C. suggested the ways to handle the parent-child relationship D. compare todays parent-child relationship with that in the past （D）What will man be like in the futurein 5000 or eve
44、n 50,000 years from now? We can only make guesses, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today, for man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about thr
45、ee inches taller. Five hundred years is relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller. Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brains capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to
46、use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones! This is likely to bring about a physical change to the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear
47、 glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that mans eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great de
48、al in modern life.But what about hair? This will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attract
49、ive creature to look at! This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.56. The passage mainly tells us that_. A. mans life will be different in the
50、futureB. future man will look quite different from us C. man is growing taller and uglier as time passes D. the functions of mans organs will function as well as today57. Which of the following serves as the evidence that man is changing? _.A. Mans hair is getting thinner and thinner.B. Man has got
51、stronger eyes now than he ever had. C. Man has been growing taller over the past 500 years. D. Mans arms and legs have become lighter and weaker.58. The change in mans size of forehead is probably because_ . A. he makes use of only 20 % of the brains capacity. B. the other 80% of his brain will grow
52、 in due（预定的） time.C. his brain has grown larger over the past centuries.D. he will use his brain more and more as time goes on.59. Which of the following is true about a human being in the future? _. A. He thinks and feels in different way.B. He has smaller eyes and wears better glasses.C. He is hai
53、rless because hair is no longer useful.D. His fingers grow weaker because he doesnt use them.60. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. future life is always predictable.B. human beings hope for a change in the future life.C. human beings will become less attractive in the future.D. Less use

71、连词until。句意是：夫差严格训练军队，直到使之成为一支很好的能战军队。33. against。表示“反对”，用介词against。句意是：三年后，夫差带领军队攻打越国。34. death。由his fathers可知，填die的名词形式death。35. but。勾践假装忠心于夫差，但他从未忘记自己所遭受的侮辱。填but.36. was set。因he与set 是被动关系，用被动语态，故填was set。37. before。指勾践在每天吃饭或睡觉之前都卧薪尝胆，故填介词before。38. developing。因he与develop是主语关系，用现在分词作伴随状语。另外，由and ed
72、ucating亦可知，该空应填developing.39. who。引导定语从句并在从句中作主语，先行词是代词one.40. strengthen。由不定式符号to 及宾语ones resolve可知，空白处应填strong的动词形式strengthen。第一节：阅读理解 41- 45 ADBCC 46-50 DABCA 51-55 CDBAB 56-60 BCDCDA篇41A。段义归纳题。文章第一段是总起段，提出论点。42D。细节理解题。从第二段前两句可知答案。43B。细节理解题。从第二段结尾两句可知答案。44C。细节理解题。从第三段开头两句可知答案。45C。主旨大意题。从文章最后一段可知答

C。词义猜测题。根据前后的对比his teams repeatedly suffered first round exits / They went on to have the best record of any team.可知Kobe所在的队“度过
74、了难关”。50. A。作者意图题。全文介绍了Kobe的打球成长经历，因此选A。C篇 代沟是个社会热点话题，文章比较了现在和过去父母与孩子之间关系的差异，指出两者的代沟在逐渐缩小，不过依然存在，同时指出现在父母和孩子的平等关系也会产生负面影响，如子女对父母的不尊重。51. C. 词义推测题。由上文（特别是gap） 和下句（特别是separate orbits） 可知，上几代的父母与孩子之间不仅是在音乐爱好方面有“差异”，而且从发型、衣着，到活动、期望等各方面，差异都很大。最大的干扰项是distance，文章的确提到distant relationship，但关系还没有到不同路的地步。52. D.
75、 归纳判断题。由第1段首句dress alike, listen to the same music以及talk about interests both enjoy等可知，父母与孩子有更多的共同兴趣，表明代沟在渐渐消失。选项A、B、C都属于share interests的范畴，D项包括后三项，是最全面的概括。53. B. 细节理解题。第6段第1句中的the new equality就是上文所说的父母与孩子关系的变化。最大干扰项是A和C，如考生缺乏升华概括能力的话，就容易误选，不管是孩子对父母缺少尊重还是父母间产生更多的迷惑，都是这种新型的平等关系所产生的“结果”，这里问的是变化是什么，而不是
76、变化的结果是什么。54. A. 细节理解题。结合上一段可知，todays parents就是60年代后的父母，他们与孩子有更多的交流，更加民主，他们应当是顺应这种变化趋势的。55. B. 推断写作目的。由全文内容，特别是由the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow等关键词句可知，本文主要是讨论父母与孩子之间的关系的发展过程。D篇56B. 细节理解题。从第一段第二句可知答案。57C. 细节理解题。从第二段前四行可知答案。58D. 细节推断题。从第二段后四行可知答案。59C. 细节理解题。从倒数第二段可知答案。6
77、0D. 细节推断题。从文章内容看，使用多的器官如脑袋、眼睛会得到增强，而手臂、大脑和头发会因为使用减少而逐渐衰退。第二节:信息匹配 6165 FACDB第一节 基础写作One possible version： On the 5th day of the 5th lunar month 278 BC, when word came that his country was defeated, Qu Yuan, the patriotic poet, jumped into the Miluo RiverOn hearing the news, the people nearby searche
