Ten years ago, Sang Lan, a 17-year-old Chinese gymnast, was competing at the Goodwill Games in New York. During a routine warm-up vault (常规跳马热身), Sang landed on her head and suffered an injury that left her paralyzed (瘫痪) from the chest down. Ten years later, she is a college graduate, and has many admirers.
What happened was that, as Sang was running very fast down the runway, a coach moved the springboard (跳板) to help her, But he placed the springboard in a wrong place. She was running at full speed, and had no time to stop. Unfortunately, there was no cushion (垫子) to receive her fall. “I heard a terrible sound,” Octavian Belu, the Romanian coach, said at the time.
“I don’t feel bad about it now,” Sang said in an interview over the weekend, explaining that she still follows gymnastics. She provided her professional opinion on television and on the internet during the Beijing Olympics. “I’ve had to lean to face reality. Sometimes, when I watch old videos of me flying in gymnastics, I’m proud that I used to be so good.”
She’s getting on with her life. At Peking University, from which Sang graduated last year with a broadcasting (播音) degree, friends had to carry her up stairs from class to class. She has own caretaker (看护) and a personal assistant, or manager, provided by China’s General Sports Administration.“ I can’t say I never feel regret,but I never complain,” Sang said. “There’s no use in being regretful. You can’t live your life over again. I still love sports.”
54. What caused Sang Lan to become injured according to the author?
A. She was running too fast at that time.
B. Someone placed the cushion in a wrong place.
C. The coach didn’t know she was going to fall.
D.A coach moved the springboard to a wrong place.
55. Which of the following have helped Sang Lan since her injury?
a. Octavian Belu. b. Her caretaker c. Her manager
d. China’s General Sports Administration e. The interviewer
A. b, c, e B. b, d, e C. a, d, e D. b, c, d

C. one always feels regret about the past.
D. it’s easy for a retired sportswoman to become popular.
For many of us, the idea of a family is a lot narrower than it used to be. Today children go away to college, and take up jobs wherever chances seem greatest. So instead of growing up in a family with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, many of us are truly connected only to our parents and brothers. Many kids today know little of the lives of their relatives and don’t care deeply about them. Whether we realize it or not, this feeling of being disconnected makes people feel a kind of lonely. “People need to feel connected, ”says Joy Browne, a doctor in the U. S. “And they will do it in the easiest ways.” When family members aren’t connected, what could be easier than forming (形成) a connection to famous people? This isn’t something unusual, of course. People cried when Mei Yanfang died in 2003. It’s natural and in most ways harmless to feel that way. But that’s unhealthy, because these relationships (关系) aren’t two-way. For that, we need to stay connected to our own families. Parents can help by telling their children stories about their grandparents, aunts and cousins, and by telling them the children’s latest activities and interests. We can use technology to keep connected with each other. It’s easy to send e-mails to granddad better yet, take a vacation with members of your relatives--not with any other person. A week or so of relaxing vacation can be a great way to tie up family ties. And when a bad thing happens, no one can be as helpful as your relatives. Because no matter how much we cry for the famous people, they can’t be there to cry for us.
57. Which of the following does the writer seem to tell us?
A. People should love famous people better than they love their relatives.
B. We should always take vacations with our own family members.
C. The idea of a family should stay the same.
D. The feeling of love should be two-way.
58. The writer talks about technology here to _____.
A. tell us the way to improve family relationship
B. encourage us to tell others what is happening
C. let us know something new about science
D. teach us how to send an e-mail
59. The reason why people feel lonely is that _____.
A. the famous people don’t cry for them
B. people want better jobs and good schooling
C. people aren’t as closely connected as before
D. kids today know little about their relatives
60. What does the writer write this passage for?
A. To keep families from breaking.
B. To tell us to care more about each other.
C. To be as helpful as we can.
D. To advise families to keep closely connected.
61. Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A. For many of us, the idea of a family is a lot wider than it used to be.
B. People cried when Mei Yanfang died in 2005.
C. when a bad thing happens, no one can be as helpful as your relatives.
D. A week or so of relaxing vacation can not be a great way to tie up family ties
In many society, there is often greater acceptance (接受) of light skin than dark skin. Light skin may be seen as a mark of beauty, intelligence and success. These beliefs can lead to social pressures even within the same group, if some members are darker than others.
The result is that skin lightening has become very common across Africa, Asia and other areas of the world and more people with dark skin are using skin-lightening products, even if it means they may face health risks. They believe that having whiter skin will improve the quality of their lives. Many people think they will have a better chance of getting a job or marrying into a better family. Or they want to look like what their society generally considers beautiful.
Some beauty care products and soaps contain chemicals that make skin lighter, However, some of the chemicals are extremely dangerous. The chemicals in the products block and break down the natural barrier (天然屏障) to protect against sunlight. Then the skin can become thick and discolored. Usually the person will use more of the product in an effort to correct the problem, which just makes things even worse. Doctor Ly says some chemicals are so dangerous that they may lead to blackened (变黑) fingernails, infections (感染) and serious skin damage.
And these are not the only problems. Experts say some people who change their skin color suffer emotional damage. They feel regretful and sad. They feel that instead of risking their health, they should have learned to live and accept their skin color as it was.
62. According to the passage, people with whiter skin _____.
A. are often considered to be more attractive
B. also use skin-lightening products
C. may have more pressure than others
D. are more beautiful and successful
63. What’s the result of the wrong understanding of darker skin?
A. Many people with dark skin try to make their skin whiter.
B. Many people with whiter skin live a better life than others.
C. People with darker skin try to marry people with light skin.
D. People with darker skin try to protect themselves against social pressures.
64. The third paragraph is about_____.
A. some medical effects that skin-lightening products have brought about
B. the mental damage that skin-lightening products have caused
C. the physical damage that skin-lightening products have caused
D. the causes why skin-lightening products can make skin whiter
65. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Difficult Colors of Skin B. The Dark Side of Skin lightening
C. What Is Beauty? D. Light Skin or Dark Skin?

Recently, we have had a discussion in our class about whether parents are our best teachers. Some students agree to the point because they think parents help to point out their mistakes in their lives. They teach them a lot about how to live a meaningful life. What’s more, parents’ love helps to teach them how to love others, so parents are their most important teachers.
However, not all of us hold the views, some think that their parents give them too much love, and they are too eager to pass on their values and interests to them. More-over, their parents some times expect too much of them, which makes them feel their goals too difficult to reach.
In my opinion, parents are our important teachers, But parents should also try to understand their children more and limit the generation gap.

Chinese people are now spending more time surfing the net than watching TV, according to results of a survey by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) published Thursday.
The survey, of citizens of five Chinese cities, found that 79 percent of interviewees use the internet for information, and 55.1 percent to read news on the internet. About 63 percent of the interviewees use e-mail. The average times spent surfing the net and watching TV were 2.73 hours and 1.29hours, respectively.
Only 10.4 percent reported use the internet primarily to send and receive email; 65.9 percent read online news; 62.2 quite often play games on-line. More and more people have taken an interest in the entertainment opportunities online.

In the early part of the twentieth century, racism was widespread in the United States. Many African Americans were not given equal opportunities in education or employment. Marian Anderson (1897-1993) was an African American woman who gained fame as a concert singer in this climate of racism. She was born in Philadelphia and sang in church choirs during her childhood. When she applied for admission to a
local music school in 1917, she was turned down because she was black. Unable to attend music school, she began her career as a singer for church gatherings. In 1929, she went to Europe to study voice and spent several years performing there. Her voice was widely praised throughout Europe. Then she returned to the US in 1935 and became a top concert singer after performing at Town Hall in New York City.
Racism again affected Anderson in 1939. When it was arranged for her to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington, DC, the Daughters of the American Revolution opposed it because of her color. She sang instead at the Lincoln Memorial for over 75 000 people. In 1955, Anderson became the first black soloist to sing win the Metropolitan Opera of New York City. The famous conductor Toscanini praised her voice as “heard only once in a hundred years”. She was a US delegate to the United Nations in 1958 and won the UN peace prize in 1977. Anderson eventually triumphed over racism.

As a professor at a large American university, there is a phrase that I hear often from students: “I’m only a 1050. ”The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice, or even have a chance to get a higher education at all. The SAT score, whether it is 800, 1 100 or 1550, has becomes the focus at this time of their life.
It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores, then a great amount of their self-respect is put in the number. Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over. The low test score, they think, will make it impossible for them to get into a good college. And without a degree from a prestigious university, they fear that many of life’s doors will remain forever closed.
According to a study done in the 1990s, the SAT is only a reliable indicator of a student’s future performance in most cases. Interestingly, it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicators——like a student’s high school grades. Even if standardized tests like the SAT could show a student’s academic proficiency(学业水平),they will never be able to test things like confidence, efforts and willpower, and are unable to give us the full picture of a student’s potentialities(潜力). This is not to suggest that we should stop using SAT scores in our college admission process. The SAT is an excellent test in many ways, and the score is still a useful means of testing students. However, it should be only one of many methods used.
64.The purpose of the SAT is to test students’ .
A.strong will B.academic ability
C.full potentialities D.confidence in school work
65.Students’ self-respect is influenced by their .
A.scores in the SAT B.achievements in mathematic
C.job opportunities D.money spent on education
66.“A prestigious university”is most probably .
A.a famous university B.a technical university
C.a traditional university D.an expensive university
67.This passage is mainly about .
A.how to prepare for the SAT B.stress caused by the SAT
C.American higher education D.the SAT and its effects
D
Language as a System of Symbols
Of all systems of symbols(符号), language is the most highly developed. It has been pointed out that human beings, by agreement, can make anything stand for anything. Human beings have agreed, in the course of centuries of mutual(相互的)dependency, to let the various noises that they can produce with their lungs, throats, tongues, teeth, and lips systematically stand for certain happenings in their nervous systems. We call that system of agreements language.
There is no necessary connection between the symbol and that which it stands for. Just as social positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head, by gold on the watch chain, or by a thousand other things according to the culture we live in, so the fact of being hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in.
However obvious these facts may appear at first glance, they are actually not so obvious as they seem except when we take special pains to think about the subject. Symbols and the things they stand for are independent of each other, yet we all have a way of feeling as if, and sometimes acting as if, there were necessary connections. For example, there are people who feel that foreign languages are unreasonable by nature; foreigners have such funny names for things, and why can’t they call things by their right names? This feeling exhibits itself most strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that they can make the natives of any country understand English if they shout loud enough. Like the little boy who is reported to have said: “Pigs are called pigs because they are such dirty animals,” they feel that the symbol is inherently(内在地) connected in some way with the things symbolized.
68.Language is a highly developed system of symbols because human beings ______.
A.have made use of language for centuries
B.use our nervous systems to support language
C.have made various noises stand for any events
D.can make anything stand for anything by agreement
69.What can we conclude from Paragraph 2?
A.Different noises may mean different things.
B.Our culture determines what a symbol stands for.
C.The language we use symbolizes our social positions.
D.Our social positions determine the way we are dressed.
70.In Paragraph 3, “take special pains” probably means “_____”.
A.try very hard B.take our time C.are very unhappy D.feel especially painful
71.The example of the little boy is used to show that _____.
A.adults often learn from their young
B.“pig” is a dirty word because pigs are dirty
C.words are not connected with the things they stand for
D.people sometimes have wrong ideas about how language works

There are two kinds of physical activity which require special training. The first demands exact careful movements of the muscles(肌肉). This kind of activity must be strictly controlled because even a slight movement in the wrong direction will lead a mistake. To type quickly, for example, a person needs training; the slightest movement of a finger in the wrong direction may cause a spelling mistake. A dancer who has to dance on the point of her shoes or turn around on one foot must be trained for a long period of time before she can sense her own center and balance herself. You may have seen a girl walking on a rope across an empty space, which, too, requires a lot of practice.
The second kind of physical activity needs greater strength or extra effort. Most of us get tired if we try to run half a mile without stopping, but a specially-trained person can do this without much effort. Three years ago, some scientists carried out experiments, which produced meaningful and unexpected results. They wanted to find out whether a certain amount of physical exercise would injure those suffering from heart problems. They selected some male patients and trained them in continuous bicycle riding. They were surprised to find that the harmful effect of given amount of physical effort was actually less on the hearts of these trained patients than on those of the patients who were not similarly trained. This is important because it shows that regular physical exercise enables us to make better use of the oxygen(氧气)we breathe in and that this training, in fact, reduces the amount of work our hearts do. Many tasks which are hard for untrained people are not hard at all for trained people.
72.The first kind of physical activity must be strictly controlled because _________.
A.a mistake in the wrong direction is dangerous to the fingers
B.a wrong movement in a direction will cause no mistakes
C.a movement in the wrong direction will cause a mistake
D.a slight movement of a finger will lead to a mistake
73.What must a dancer do before she can balance herself?
A.She must dance on the point of her shoes. B.She must receive long-time training.
C.She must turn around on one foot. D.She must perform again and again.
74.The experiments done by some scientists showed that ________.
A.some male patients were asked to ride bicycles regularly in the experiments
B.the physical exercise had more harmful effect on the hearts of the untrained patients
C.the physical exercise was harmless to the male patients with heart trouble
D.the physical exercise could be helpful for the patients to take in more oxygen
75.What would be the best title for this text?
A.Training Our Bodies B.Physical Activities
C.Movement Training D.Extra Body Effort

1—5ABCCB 6—10BCCAA 11—15BACBA 16—20CBACB
单项选择题
21.答案A。分析:根据上下文语境可以知道,句中两个名词help 和chance 都用作可数名词,表示泛指。第一空help 代指an advertisement ,第二空more of a chance "多一次机会"。
22.答案为B。分析:分析句子结构和句子意思可知,空格所需的选项均为两个句子的主语,第一空作介词after的宾语;第二空作动词短语carry out 的宾语;根据四个选项,只有what可在句中作此成分。
23.答案C。分析:根据对话情景可知,对话发生在两个陌生人之间,一人请求他人帮忙,但因为都是陌生人,未能提供帮助。对这种情景的回答,也要表示感谢,但在后面常用anyway 或all the same。
24.答案A。分析:根据句意和句子的语气,第一空表示一种可能性,用may not speak "可能不会说";第二空表示有某种能力。
25.答案B。分析根据问话人所用的most可以知道,句中 electronic dictionaries 应为三者以上,再根据答句意义判断,选项应为否定,故应选none。该句答句部分both...and很容易迷惑考生,使之误认为是两者的否定形式,而误选 neither。
26.答案为A。分析:根据题干意义可知,空格部分是用来补充说明句子主语是怎样的,故选用形容词做状语,表示"人感到累"应用tired,由于选项是两个意义不一致的形容词,故用转折连词but 连接。实际上,该句相当于...the Smiths returned home and they were safe but tired。答案D。
27.答案B。分析:第一空动词attend为及物动词,表主动,根据感觉动词find所跟复合结构,不可使用to attend,过去分词attended表被动,意义也不成立,可选用attending或attend,但根据句意,此处强调状态,故attending现在分词为最佳选项;第二空介词about 后应使用动名词形式there being。
28.答案D。分析:分析句子意思可以知道,选项代词所指代的名词为computers,且为特指,故应选the ones (=those), 相当于the computers。
29.答案 D分析:分析选项可以知道,"路灯"是由表示"作用、用途"的名词street 用作限定词修饰light,应直接用作定语。该类名词用作定语不需’s或of构成短语。又如 coffee cup(咖啡杯)evening school(夜校), toothbrush(牙刷)。
30.答案A。分析:分析语境及讲话人意图可知,第一空强调过去的动作,并不表示现在发生的事,故应用一般过去时;第二空应选will,表示即时决定将要做的事,而be going to表示按计划、安排要做的事。
31.答案 D。分析:根据对话情景可知,答句Unfortunately, you were out on business.(不幸的是你出差了)实际上是上一句暗示的条件。从答句所给的特定的动词时态(一般过去时)来看,上句所说内容是对过去情况的假设,故暗示的条件句应为If I hadn’t been out on business,由此可见,选项部分为主句的谓语动词,表示与过去事实相反,应选用would have come。
32.答案为D。分析: 平衡被打破,会产生许多预料不到的影响,“导致,产生”为result in。lie n意为“在于”;call in意为“召,请进来”;take in有“吸收”之意。
33.答案为D。分析:前面的The artist 与从句中谓语动词构成的结构为gave a prize to the artist ,故应选to whom;后面的先行词the teacher 与从句中谓语动词构成的结构为have been taught painting by the teacher ,故应选by whom。
34.答案为A。分析:在比较级结构中"no+比较级+than"意思为"前者并不比后者更……"。根据答句意义,尤其是从at least 可以知道该句意思为"至少它不比我上次跟Joan 一起看的音乐会更糟",故应选no worse than ;选项B 意义相反,不符合句意;选项C、D意义相同。
35.答案C。分析:pick out挑出,选出; leave out 漏掉;figure out算出; take out
拿出,取出。根据句子意思:他们十分仔细地算出了完成工程所需要的钱和时间,故应选figure out。

浪费时间是世界上最容易做到的,也是最难控制的。当你朝前看时,时间也许显得比你需要的多。可是它会像流沙一样从缝间溜走。你可能会突然发现剩下的那点时间没法完成所有的任务。比方说,作为一个新生,你看到眼前整整一个学期,会觉得手上有多余的时间,但是当学期末临近时,没准就会恐慌起来,因为时间快用完了。怎么办?——学会控制
时间是危险的。你不控制它,它就会控制你。你不让它为你工作,它就会成为你的对头。你必须做它的主人而不是佣人。刻苦学习,开心玩耍是句老话,但依然很有意义。如果合理安排时间就会有足够的时间上课、学习、玩耍。重要的不是分配了多少时间学习,而是学习时你到底学到了多少。
浪费太多时间就跟吃了治不好病的药一样。时间浪费得越多,就越容易继续浪费时间。很快无所事事就成了改不掉的习惯,就会上瘾。如果这样,你会失去成就感,半途而废。安排得满满的时间表就很好。有的学生拒绝听取时间信息,他们不愿意接受大学生活要求一定程度的时间控制这一事实。但这无可避免。那下一步呢?如果你真心想要得到时间信息,下一章节会提供给你。记住,这不仅会提高你的分数,还会让你更好地享受大学生活。

In traditional Chinese culture, teachers have been well respected by people because education plays an important part in society. Confucius once said teachers were the most important persons in one’s life. It is commonly thought that education one receives helps to shape one’s career. In 1985, the government set aside September 10 as a special day for the teachers. On Teachers’ Day, it is the custom for the students to send cards to their beloved teachers, on which they write their greetings and best wishes. Some students send their teachers small gifts such as a bunch of flowers or a notebook. In China, people from all walks of life show their respect for teachers on Teachers’ Day.
