One day Chuck is on a flight across the Pacific Ocean _31_ suddenly his plane crashes. Chuck survives the crash
12、and lands on a _32_ (desert) island.On the island, Chuck has to learn to survive all alone. Perhaps the most difficult challenge is how to survive without friends. In order to survive, Chuck develops a _33_ (friend) with an unusual friend a volleyball he calls Wilson.Chuck learns a lot about himself
13、 when he is alone on the island. He realizes that he hasnt been a very good friend because he has always been thinking _ 34_ himself. During his five years on the island, Chuck learns how to be a good friend to Wilson. _35_ though Wilson is just a volleyball, he becomes fond of him. He talks to him
14、and treats him as a friend. Chuck learns that we need friends to share happiness and sorrow, and that it is important _36_ (have) someone to care about. He _37_ learns that he should have cared more about his friends.A volleyball is certainly an unusual friend. Most of our friends are human beings,
15、but we also make friends _38_ animals and even things. For example, many of us have pets, and we all have _39_ (favor) objects such as a lucky pen or a diary. The lesson we can learn from Chuck and all the others _40_ have unusual friends is that friends are teachers. III. 阅读 (共两节，满分40分)第一节：阅读理解(共15

The following ways might help improve their ability. First of all, do things step by step. It is n
17、ot good to listen to something beyond your level. Better choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure you understand the first one. Secondly, stick to one course of study. Dont change books often. Never let your attention be attracted by an
18、other course just because it seems to be more “ fashionable”(时髦). Thirdly, listen to the English news programme over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easy for you to understand the English news on the radio. Fo
19、urthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in “special English” from the VOA or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook.41. This is a piece of advice to learners of English in how to_.A. improve their listening ability B. read fastC. write better Englis
20、h and read fast D. speak correctly42. If you want to understand the English news programme on the radio, you should_.read the Chinese-language newspaper carefullyread again and again the Chinese-language newspapergo through the Chinese-language newspaperbe able to recite the Chinese-language newspap
21、er43. “Beyond your level” means something_.A. easy for you B. too difficult for youC. not too easy and not too difficult for you D. just all right for you 44. The author advised that once you have taken up a course, you should_.stick to it B. begin with the last bookC. take up other courses if you a
22、re more fashionable D. not do anything else45. In this passage, VOA stands for_.A. a book B. a magazine C. a textbook D. a radio station（B）Move Earth its no science fictionLONDON Scientists have found an unusual way to prevent our planet from overheating: move it to a cooler spot. All you have to do
23、 is send a few comets（彗星）in the direction of Earth, and its orbit will be changed. Our world will then be sent spinning into a safer, colder part of the solar system.This idea for improving our climate comes from a group of US National Aeronautics and Space Administration（NASA） engineers and America
24、n astronomers. They say their plan could add another six billion years to the useful lifetime of our planeteffectively doubling its working life.The plan put forward by Dr Laughlin, and his colleagues Don Korycansky and Fred Adams ,needs carefully directing a comet or asteroid so that it passes clos
25、e by our planet and sends some of its gravitational energy to Earth.“Earths orbital speed would increase as a result and we would move to a higher orbit away from the Sun,” Laughlin said.Engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to Jupiter or Saturn. The comet would pick up ene
26、rgy from one of these giant planets. Later its orbit would bring it back to Earth, and the process would be repeated. In the short term, the plan provides an ideal way to global warming, although the team was actually concerned with a much greater danger. The sun is certain to heat up in about a bil
27、lion years and so “seriously compromise” our biosphere（生物圈） by cooking us.Thats why the group decided to try to save Earth.The plan has one or two worrying aspects, however. For a start, space engineers would have to be very careful about how they directed their asteroid or comet towards Earth. The
28、smallest miscalculation（误算）in orbit could fire it straight at Earthwith deadly consequences.There is also the question of the Moon. As the current issue of Scientific American magazine points out, if Earth was pushed out of its current position it is “most likely the Moon would be stripped away from
29、 Earth,” it states. This would greatly change our planets climate.46. What makes the scientists plan to move Earth?A. A few comets are moving to the direction of Earth.B. Earths working life is coming to an end soon.C. Earth will become too hot for mankind to keep alive.D. The moon is moving farther
30、 and farther away from Earth.47. If the plan is successful, Earth will have a working life of _years.A.12 billionB.6 billionC.18 billionD.24 billion48. What serious problems might the plan cause according to the passage?A. The comet might hit Earth and man might lose the moon.B. Earth might be moved
31、 too far away and man might be frozen to death.C. The comet might hit Jupiter or Saturn and never return to Earth.D. Earths working life might be greatly shortened.49. What does the underlined word “compromise” mean?A. provideB. benefit C. share D. endanger50. Which of the following best shows how t
32、he plan would work?（C）Man has a big brain. He can think, learn and speak. Scientists thought that men are different from animals because they can think and learn. They know now that dogs, cats and birds can learn too. They are beginning to understand that. They make noises when they are afraid, or a
33、ngry or unhappy. Apes(猿) can understand some things more quickly than human, one or two of them have learnt a few words. But they can not join words to make sentences. They can not think like us because they have no language. Language is a wonderful thing. Man has been able to build a modern world b
34、ecause he has language. Every child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five, but no animal learns to speak. How do children learn it ? Scientists do not really know. What happens inside our body when we speak? They do not know. They only know that man can speak because he has a
35、brain.51. The best title for this passage is .A. Animals Language B. Man and Ape C. Brain and language D. Mans Brain52.

Apes have no language though they can learn some words第二节：篇章结构（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Dear Sir, I have to travel every day from So UK Road to the airport. Two buses trav
38、el along this route: No.49 and No.16. However, by the time No.16 reaches So UK Road, it is always full._56_ The timetable states that there are buses from So UK Road to the airport every ten minutes._57_ The instructions state that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop w
39、here people are waiting. _58_ The instructions state that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday, I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. _59_ There were 129 of them. Clearly printed on the back of every bus is a sign that says “
40、Maximum speed: 50mph.” _60_ Saturday morning a No. 49 bus traveled the distance in ten minutes, at an average speed of 60 mph. At times it must have done at least 80 or even 90 mph.

The problem is that we have to pay more for our trip. D. The distance from So UK Road to the airport is 10 miles. E.

61、ke?” some students think that in the future science will be more advanced ,and transportation will be more convenient, and whats more ,people will live much longer and the level of their living conditions will be higher. However, some students think that in the future natural resources will further
62、decrease and farmland will become more serious, and there will be more traffic accidents. In my opinion, we should try to protect natural resources and decrease environment pollution.第二节 读写任务 The author told us about his strategy for the CET-4 and how two forces called insistence and giving up affec
63、ted him endlessly. But he thought that we should be insistent so as to achieve our goals. Insistence is of great significance for our study and work, for it not only urges us to keep on trying, esp. when we are faced with difficulties but it can also help us to get rid of fear and laziness. As every
64、 one knows, if we always give up, we will never be successful. It reminds me of a similar experience. I participated in a piano lesson when I was young. Since it was difficult and boring to sit before the piano, practising dull music pieces again and again while others were just playing, it was not
65、long before I gave it up. However, now I consider it a great pity that I didnt insist on practicing it. Every time I saw others playing the piano beautifully, I would feel jealous of them. If only I hadnt given it up, I would also be expert at playing the piano now! So my dear friends, I strongly recommend that only with insistence can your dream eventually come true!
