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 in 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 problems of adjustment under such conditions?
Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They
英语试卷 第 2 页 （共 17 页）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 50 .
Apparently, although no one wants to be 51 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 52 or stress.
People who are well-adjusted are able to 53 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 education system 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
英语试卷 第 3 页 （共 17 页）most able pupils are 59 and are bored while the least able are lost and 60 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 practise 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 64 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. sharing
IV. 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
that fits best according to the information given in the 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 Harrison, 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”
英语试卷 第 4 页 （共 17 页）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 so many 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

Mail carriers will be delivering some good news and some bad news this week.
英语试卷 第 6 页 （共 17 页）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 increases 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
英语试卷 第 7 页 （共 17 页）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.

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 businesses 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 have other uses, such as
for disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.
英语试卷 第 8 页 （共 17 页）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 project
D. the effects of using cardboard tents on music festivals

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?
英语试卷 第 9 页 （共 17 页）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

II. Guided Writing:
Directions: Write an English composition in 120－150 words according to the instructions given below
in Chinese.
以“礼物”为主题写一篇作文。该文章必须包括以下内容：
1、你送礼物的对象及所送的礼物；
2、该礼物对他（她）可能产生的影响或带来的变化。
英语试卷 第 11 页 （共 17 页）25.D by size and shape意为“按大小和形状”。表示“每棵树上都有树叶，但它们的大小和形状都不
同”。
26.C anyone用于肯定句意为“任何一个人”，表示“把奖金给任何一个能抓住活老虎或打死老虎的人”。
故选C项。another指不确定数目中的“另一个”；both意为“两者都”；the others是“其余的人(物)”。
27.D副词的最高级用于三者或三者以上的比较，意为“最…”。常与介词 of或in短语连用，表示“…中
最…”。根据所提供的情景of my fiends可判断出要用最高级，表示“但他在我们的朋友中开车最不仔
细”。副词的比较级表示两者间的比较。所以是错误的, the most carefully意为“最仔细”与连词but矛
盾。所以是错误的。
28.A 根据所提供的情景“l was going to tidy my room”可判断出要用一般过去时，表示过去所发生的事。
一般现在时表示经常性的动作或存在的状态。现在完成时表示已经完成动作或从过去某个时候开始一直延
续到现在的动作。过去完成时表示一个动作或状态在过去某一时间或动作之前已经完成或结束，即“过去
的过去”；都与所提供的情境矛盾。
29.C “must have+动词+ed形式”表示“一定做了某事”。根据所提供的情景“Guess what! I have got
A for my team paper. ”可判断出一定进行了广泛阅读并做了大量工作。must意为“一定，必须”，后接动
词原形表示“一定或必须做某事”。should意为“应该”，后接动词原形表示“应该做某事”。都是对对方
的要求。“should have+动词+ed形式”表示“本来应该做某事，而没有做”，常用于表示责备。
30.D现在完成时表示已经完成动作或从过去某个时候开始一直延续到现在的动作。根据时间状语 in the
past years可确定用现在完成时。又因为substances是discover的动作的被执行者，所以要用被动语态。
表示“近几年来，越来越多的物质被发现”。过去完成时表示一个动作或状态在过去某一时间或动作之前
已经完成或结束，即“过去的过去”；不与in the past years连用。选项A和B都不是被动语态，所以是错
误的。
31.B rarely意为“极少有地”，是否定词。以否定词开头的句子要进行倒装，即把助动词放在主语前。
32. A感叹句通常有what，how引导，表示赞美、惊叹、喜悦、等感情。what后接名词，how后接形容词或副
词构成感叹句。scene是名词，所以What a dangerous scene it was!是正确的形式。
33.B “such a(an)+形容词+单数可数名词”意为“那么样…，以至于…”，表示“流行歌曲是社会冲那么
重要的部分，以至于它已经影响了我们的语言”。such…as和such…that 句型不同，前者as引导的从句
是定语从句，而后者that引导的从句是状语从句。
34.A hear sth. doing sth. 意为“听见某物做某事”。动词+ing形式作宾语补足语表示宾语和宾语补足语
是主动关系。the child heard his mother’s voice calling him表示“孩子听见他妈妈喊他”。hear sth. done
表示“听见某事被做了”。动词+ed形式作宾语补足语表示其宾语和宾语补足语是被动关系。
英语试卷 第 12 页 （共 17 页）35.D不定式作目的状语，表示做某事的目的。I can try是定语从句，作nothing more的定语，表示“再没有
什么可试”。故选D项。to be persuaded是不定式的被动式，表示被动。being persuaded是动词+ing形式
的被动式。动词+ing形式作状语表示主动和伴随情况。选项A、B、C均与句意不符。
36.C动词+ed形式作定语表示被动和已经完成的动作。根据时间状语in the 1800’s可判断出要用动词+ed
形式作定语，表示“19世纪完成的市政厅”。故选C项。不定式的被动式作定语表示将被做的事。动词+ing
形式作定语表示正在被做的事。
37.A which引导非限制性定语从句，并在从句中作主语。在非限制性定语从句中，只能用which引导而不
能用that引导。where引导定语从句时，指代表示地点的名词，在从句中状语。it不能用于引导定语从句，所
以是错误的。
38.D if引导条件状语从句，意为“如果”。根据两句话的意思可判断出它们是因果关系，表示“小航海船
不仔细管理的话，很容易引起火灾”。though引导让步状语从句，意为“虽然”；before意为“在…之前”；
until意为“直到…为止”。
39.B what引导主语从句，并在从句中作referred to的宾语。that引导主语从句时，在从句中只起连接作用，
不作任何成分。whether意为“是否”。where意为“在…地方”。
40.D that引导表语从句，在从句中只起连接作用，不作任何成分。“…we sleep because our brain is”
programmed “to make us to so”是一个完整的句子，所以要用that引导。when和where在表语从句中作
状语，分别表示“在…的时候”和“在…地方”。whether意为“是否”。
41.C preserve意为“保持，保存”，根据所提供的情景at minus 130℃可判断出表示“至少在零下
130℃，活体细胞才能被保存1000年。spare意为“节约，节省，分让，提供”；protect意为“保护”；
develop意为“发展，发达，发扬，进步”。
42.C accidentally意为“偶然地，意外地”。根据“…downloaded a virus into his computer”可判断出要
用accidentally”，因为下载病毒是偶然事件。readily意为“乐意地，欣然，容易地”；horribly意为“可怕地，
非常地”；irregularly意为“不规则地”。
43.D routine意为“常规，日常事务”，表示“我早上要做的事包括在公园慢走和吃早餐时读报”。drill意
为“操练，(反复)练习”；action意为“行动，举动，行为”；regulation意为“规则，规章，调节，校准”。
44.B casual意为“漫不经心的”。根据所提供的情景“John was dismissed”可判断出由于他的漫不经心
的工作态度而被开除。informal意为“不正式的，不拘礼节的”；determined意为“坚决的，决定了的”；
earnest意为“认真的，热心的，重要的”。
45.D busy意为“忙碌的”。根据上文中的“…were given plenty of work”可判断出给他们足够的工作使
他们保持忙碌的状态。tired意为“疲劳的，累的，疲倦的”。asleep意为“睡着的，睡熟的”。conscious意
英语试卷 第 13 页 （共 17 页）为“有意识的，有知觉的”。
46.C however意为“然而，可是”。根据“They were also in constant communication with people on
the earth’’知“being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being
alone”是转折关系，所以要用however。so far意为“迄今为止”；after all意为“毕竟”；therefore意为
“因此，所以”。
47.A long意为“长的，长期的”。根据上文中的“This is what happens on long submarine voyages. ”可
判断出要用long，表示“对于将来长时间的太空飞行也是这样。”also意为“也”，fast意为“快速的”；
dangerous意为“危险的”；direct意为“直接的”。
48.C adjustment意为“调整，调节”。根据上文中的“will there be special problems of adjustment
under such conditions”可判断出表示航行的时间越长，调节的问题越严重。fuel 意为“燃料”；
entertainment意为“款待，娱乐，娱乐表演”；health意为“健康”。
49.A shut up意为“关闭,关上”. 表示“当把一些人长时间关在一起，他们就开始感觉不舒服”。故选A
