Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or
phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best
fits the context.
(A)
Being alone in outer space can be frightening. That is one reason why astronauts
on solo (单独的) space flights were given plenty of work to keep them 45 . They
were also constant communication with people on the earth. 46 , being with people
from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is
what happens on long submarine (潜水艇) voyages. It will also happen on 47
space flights in the future. Will there be special problem of adjustment under such
conditions?
Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during longsubmarine voyages. They have found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more
serious the problem of 48 is. When men are 49 together for a long period, they
begin to feel uneasy. Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are
ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these
little habits may become very 5 0 .
Apparently, although no one wants to be 5 1 all the time, everyone needs some
degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called a
stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of 5 2 or stress.
People who are well-adjusted are able to 5 3 stress situations better than others.
That is one reason why so much care is taken in 54 our astronauts. These men
undergo a long period of testing and training. One of the things tested is their
behavior under stress.
45. A. tired B. asleep C. conscious D. busy
46. A. So far B. After all C. However D. Therefore
47. A. long B. fast C. dangerous D. direct
48. A. fuel B. entertainment C. adjustment D. health
49. A. shut up B. held up C. brought up D. picked up
50. A. pleasing B. annoying C. common D. valuable
51. A. noisy B. alone C. personal D. sociable
52. A. emphasis B. conflict C. power D. pressure
53. A. handle B. create C. affect D. investigate
54. A. becoming B. choosing C. ordering D. promoting
(B)
One topic is rarely mentioned in all the talk of improving standards in our
schools: the almost complete failure of foreign-language teaching. As a French
graduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years, I believe I have some idea
of why the failure is so total. 55 the faults already found out in the educationsystem as a whole — such as child-centred learning, the “discovery” method, and
the low expectations by teachers of pupils — there have been several serious 56
which have a direct effect on language teaching.
The first is the removal from the curriculum (课程) of the thorough teaching of
English 57 . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a
sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.
Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so
58 that the most able groups are 59 and are bored while the least able are lost
and 6 0 bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favour of mixed-
ability school football teams.
Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop
having 61 lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at
school, even those who got good grades, have forgotten it a few years later. 62
they never need it, they do not practice it.
Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and 63 modern
languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britain to do the
same, and stop 6 4 resources on a subject which few pupils want or need.
55. A. Due to B. In addition to C. Instead of D. In spite of
56. A. errors B. situations C. systems D. methods
57. A. vocabulary B. culture C. grammar D. literature
58. A. wide B. similar C. separate D. unique
59. A. kept out B. turned down C. held back D. left behind
60. A. surprisingly B. individually C. equally D. hardly
61. A. extra B. traditional C. basic D. regular
62. A. Although B. Because C. Until D. Unless
63. A. restored B. absorbed C. prohibited D. withdrawn
64. A. wasting B. focusing C. exploiting D. sharingIV. Reading Comprehension
Directions： Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several
questions or unfinished statements. For each of them mere are four choices marked A, B, C
and D. Choose the one mat fits best according to me information given in me passage you
have just read.
(A)
What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about
an ice-cream taster?
Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice-cream. Just ask
John Harrion, an “ Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps
manufacturers to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been
responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream — as well as for
developing over 75 flavors (味道).
Some people think that it would be easy to do this job, after all, you just have
to like ice cream, right? No — there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who
has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would
be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.
In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream
samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains, “You get
more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir it, creating
ice-cream soup.”
While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each
one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to
see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the color
expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to taste!
Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from somany kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy — working at one
cool job.
65. What is John Harrison’s job?
A. An official. B. An ice-cream taster.
C. A chemist. D. An ice-cream manufacturer.
66. According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”, it is helpful to
______.
A. keep a diary of work B. have a degree in related subjects
C. have new ideas every day D. find out new flavors each day
67. What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?
A. He stirs the ice cream. B. He examines the color of the ice
cream.
C. He tastes the flavor of the ice cream. D. He lets the ice cream warm up.
68. Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?
A. Tasting with Eyes B. Flavors of Ice Cream
C. John Harrison’s Life D. One Cool Job
(B)69. The Fresh Water series at 9 PM ________.
A. explores the lakes, rivers and the creatures in them
B. is devoted to the freshwater creatures in the world
C. explains the relationship among inhabitants on the earth
D. focuses on the deepest river on the planet
70. The phrase “stow away” most probably means “_________”.
A. hide secretly B. talk excitedly C. operate easily D. guide successfully
71. A mystery story adapted from Agatha Christie’s novel will be shown on ______.
A. BBC1 B. BBC2 C. ITV1 D. Channel 4
(C)
Mail carriers will be delivering some good news and some bad news this week.
The bad news: Stamp prices are expected to rise 2 cents in May to 41 cents,
the Postal Regulatory Commission announced yesterday. The good news: With the
introduction of a “forever stamp,” it may be the last time Americans have to use
annoying 2-or-3-cent stamps to make up postage differences.
Beginning in May, people would be able to purchase the stamps in booklets of
20 at the regular rate of a first-class stamp. As the name implies, “forever stamps”
will keep their first-class mailing value forever, even when the postage rate goes up.
The new “forever stamp” is the United States Postal Service’s (USPS) answer
to the complaints about frequent rate increases. The May increase will be the fifth in
a decade. Postal rates have risen because of inflation (通货膨胀), competition from
online bill paying, and the rising costs of employee benefits, including healthcare,
says Mark Saunders, a spokesman for USPS.
The USPS expects some financial gain from sales of the “forever stamp” and
the savings from not printing as many 2-or-3-cent stamps. “ It’s not your
grandfather’s stamp,” says Mr. Saunders. “It could be your great-grandchildren’s
stamp.”Other countries, including Canada, England, and Finland use similar stamps.
Don Schilling, who has collected stamps for 50 years, says he’s interested in the
public’s reaction. “This is an entirely new class of stamps.” Mr. Schilling says. He
adds that he’ll buy the stamps because he will be able to use them for a long period
of time, not because they could make him rich — the volume printed will be too
large for collectors. “We won’t be able to send our kids to college on these,” he
says, laughing.
The USPS board of governors has yet to accept the Postal Regulatory
Commission’s decision, but tends to follow its recommendations. No plans have been
announced yet for the design of the stamps.
72. The main purpose of introducing a “forever stamp” is ______.
A. to reduce the cost of printing 2-or-3-cent stamps
B. to help save the consumers’ cost on first-class mailing
C. to respond to the complaints about rising postal rates
D. to compete with online bill paying
73. By saying “It could be your great-grandchildren’s stamp”, Mr. Saunders means
that forever stamps ________.
A. could be collected by one’s great-grandchildren
B. might be very precious in great-grandchildren’s hands
C. might have been inherited from one’s great-grandfathers
D. could be used by one’s great-grandchildren even decades later
74. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The investment in forever stamps will bring adequate reward.
B. America will be the first country to issue forever stamps.
C. The design of the “forever stamp” remains to be revealed.
D. 2-or-3-cent stamps will no longer be printed in the future.
75. What can be concluded from the passage?A. With forever stamps, there will be no need to worry about rate changes.
B. Postal workers will benefit most from the sales of forever stamps.
C. The inflation has become a threat to the sales of first-class stamps.
D. New interest will be aroused in collecting forever stamps.
(D)
The traditional tent cities at festivals such as Glastonbury may never be the same
again. In a victory of green business that is certain to appeal to environmentally-
aware music-lovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produce
eco-friendly tents made of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the
crowds have gone home.
Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at
the end of events each year. For his final year project at the University of the
West of England, James Dunlop came up with a material that can be recycled.
And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has been made waterproof.
Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big
buildings including churches, Mr. Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents,
which he called Myhabs.
The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr.
Dunlop graduated from his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it
into a business.
To raise money for the idea, he toured the City’s private companies which fund
new business and found a supporter in the finance group Mint. He introduced his
idea to four of Mint’s directors and won their support. Mint has committed
around £500,000 to MyHab and taken a share of 30 per cent in Mr. Dunlop’s
business. The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being
marketed fully next year.
Mr. Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could haveother uses, such as for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.
For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered online and put up at the
sites by the Myhab team before the festival-goers arrive and removed by the
company afterwards. They can be personalized and the company will offer
reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior (外部的) advertising
space.
The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with Glastonbury
having some 150,000 each year. Altogether there are around 100 annual music
festivals where people camp in the UK. The events are becoming increasingly
environmentally conscious.
76. “Eco-friendly tents” in paragraph 1 refer to tents _______.
A. economically desirable B. favorable to the environment
C. for holding music performances D. designed for disaster relief
77. Mr. Dunlop established his business ______.
A. independently with an interest-free loan from Mint
B. with the approval of the City’s administration
C. in partnership with a finance group
D. with the help of a Japanese architect
78. It is implied in the passage that _______.
A. the weather in the UK is changeable in summer
B. most performances at British festivals are given in the open air
C. the cardboard tents produced by Mr. Dunlop can be user-tailored
D. cardboard tents can be easily put up and removed by users.
79. The passage is mainly concerned with ______.
A. an attempt at developing recyclable tents
B. some efforts at making full use of cardboards
C. an unusual success of a graduation projectD. the effects of using cardboard tents on music festivals
(E)
Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A—F for each
paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
A. Do established musicians have a responsibility to guide and assist young up-and–
coming musicians?
B. Did anyone promote your musical education when you were growing up?
C. What kind of “world music” do you enjoy?
D. What’s your comment on pop music?
E. Does the contemporary music press give jazz the coverage it deserves?
F. What’s wrong with the music on the radio?
An interview with Wynton Marsalis, a noted jazz musician
80.
There were the older jazz musicians who hung around our house when I was
young. I saw how much they practiced, how serious they were about their art. I
knew then I had to work just as hard if I wanted to succeed. Of course, my father
inspired me a lot, and many teachers took the time to nurture my talent and the
talents of other students in our school.
81.
Yes. We’ve done such a poor job with music education because, as a society, we
haven’t maintained the kind of education that a true artist and musician needs. Young
people haven’t been able to equate romance and talent with music. For instance, most
of the people who make it in the music industry today have to look good. How they
sound is secondary. Sarah Vaughan, Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald — those big,
romantic queens of jazz music wouldn’t make it in today’s music industry, and that’s
a shame. We need to teach young people about the alternatives.
82.Around the world people make music that, if you listen carefully to it, sounds a
little like the cadence of their language. I’d call it folk music. When I’m away from
home, I make a point of listening to regional folk music, not what’s on the radio.
83
The same music is on the radio all over the world, and the American sound is
overwhelming. Even the pop music that’s produced and created in foreign countries
has that American beat, that underscore of funk. As a musician, I’m not interested in
hearing recycled versions of the same genre over and over. Any music that doesn’t
have a development section just isn’t interesting to me.
84.
The music press has so much to introduce these days, and jazz is just a small
fraction of it. Because some people are intimidated by jazz, they don’t cover it unless
it’s a big name. new jazz musicians don’t get much of break. A lot of editors don’t
say anything about jazz these days unless it’s Marsalis. That’s a shame. What VH1 is
doing with their Save the Music campaign is phenomenal. They’re getting all these
instruments out to needy kids. It’s the kind of thing all networks should be doing.

Part B Passages
Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.
Karen Smart has been a journalist reporting wars for several years now. Why
does she do it? “Well,” she said, “It isn’t easy to say. But I suppose it’s the
excitement of being so close to danger. It’s like going to see a horror movie. You
are frightened, but at the same time it gives you excitement.” Reporters try to get
as close to the battle as they can. But it can be very dangerous. Recently Karen
herself was injured. “It was very strange really,” she said. “We were just getting
ready to record an interview, when a bomb landed on the house next to us. The
whole house exploded. There was a terrific noise and the next moment I was lying
on the ground. Luckily nobody was killed in that incident. ” Karen spent two days
in hospital, but a month later, she was back. “While I was waiting for the
ambulance, ”she said, “I can remember thinking: ‘What am I doing here? I must be
mad.’ But after a while , that feeling started to disappear. And I couldn’t wait to
get back to the war.”
Q: 11. Why does Karen like her job?
12. What happened in a bomb explosion?
13. What is the passage mainly about?
Questions 14 through 14 are based on the following passage.
Now it’s eight o’clock, time for the morning news.
Internet use continues to increase in the United States. According to a new study by
American Life Project, fifty two percent of rural residents now have Internet access.
That’s an increase of eleven percent since 2000. Rural residents are still behind the
urban residents, however. Sixty seven percent of urban residents use the Internet. Of
those rural residents who are online, forty five percent say that they surf the Web
daily. Only forty percent of urban residents use the Web that often. One big barrier
for rural residents is the lack of choice among Internet providers. According to
another survey, more than two million American children aged six to seventeen have
their own personal websites. This figure, which represents ten percent of the twenty
three million young people, who have Internet access from home, is rising rapidly.
It is expected to jump to one in four kids by 2008. The survey also shows thatboys are more likely than girls to have their own websites. Seventy six percent of
kids with broad band Internet access at home say that their home connection is

Jack is one of my best friends. Yesterday was his birthday. I searched shop after shop,
planning a nice gift or something expected for him. Finally an attractive notebook on the
shelf caught my eye. It was the most attractive notebook I had ever seen.
On his birthday when he accepted my gift with a few words of wishes on it, he was filled
with excitement. He said it never occurred to him that he would get such a nice gift. The gift
had great effect on his later life. From the time he got the notebook I sent him, he wrote down
something meaningful that happened to him every day. It often reminds him of the true
friendship between us, which I hope will last forever. (126 words)
