A

Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men’s hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.

The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women’s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts hardly lose their pumping power with age.

“We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20---25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK. “Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspink. “This is part of the ageing process.”

What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman’s heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one’s.

“This gender (性别)difference might just explain why women live longer than men,”said Goldspink.

They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.

The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart, said Goldspink.

The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.

56．The underlined word “longevity”in the second paragraph probably refers to _________.

A．health B．long life C．ageing D．effect

57．The text mainly talks about ________.

A．men’s heart cells B．women’s ageing process

C．the gender difference D．hearts and long life

58．According to the text, the UK scientists have known that _________.

A．women have more cells than men when they are born

B．women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat

C．the female heart loses few of the cells with age

D．women never lose their pumping power with age

59．We can know from the passage that _______.

A．the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found out

B．scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cells

C．the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater loss

D．women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20

B

After years of study, I have known there are only two types of people in this world：those who get to the airport early and those who arrive as the plane is about to take off.

If there were any justice in this world, the early-airport people would be rewarded for doing the right thing and the late-airport people would be punished. But the early-airport people get ulcer s (溃疡), heart attacks and bite their fingernails to the bone. The late-airport people are hardly aware that they are flying.

A guy of that kind once said, “Don’t hurry. If you miss your flight, it’s because God didn’t want you to go.”This is clearly a guy who is never going to get an ulcer.

Early-airport people suffer another“name”. They are called exactly what they are—wimps(懦夫).

I know. I am an early-airport person for years. My luggage will get on the plane first, which makes it the last luggage they take off the plane after landing.

Another strange thing：No matter how early I showed up, I was always told that someone had called two or three years ahead of me and asked for the best seat. I figured it was a trick. I figured there was someone in America who called every airline every day and said, “Is that wimp Simon flying somewhere today? If he is, give me his seat. ”

After a lifetime arguing with my wife over whether I really have to pack 24 hours in advance and set the alarm clock four hours ahead, I have learned another fact about early-airport people and late-airport people:

They always marry each other.

60．We can learn from the passage that________.

A．late-airport persons often get ulcers or heart attacks

B．early-airport persons are always relaxed before the flight

C．early-airport persons get their luggage first after landing

D．late-airport persons always take things easy

61．The fifth paragraph mainly tells us________.

A．the writer is always played tricks on

B．the writer is usually fooled by airlines

C．the writer’s seat is always taken by someone

D．the writer has never got a good seat.

62．The purpose of writing the passage is to________.

A．give useful tips on taking a plane

B．offer advice about catching a plane

C．express the writer’s anxiety about taking planes

D．show people’s two attitudes towards catching planes

63．It could be inferred that the writer’s wife is________.

A．an early-airport woman B．a late-airport woman

C．a hot-tempered woman D．a sensitive woman

C

In every British town, large and small, you will find shops that sell second-hand goods. Sometimes such shops deal mostly in furniture, sometimes in books, sometimes in ornaments(装

饰)and household goods, sometimes even in clothes.

The furniture may often be “antique”, and it may well have changed hands many times. It may also be very valuable, although the most valuable piece will usually go to the London sale rooms, where one piece might well be sold for hundreds of thousands of pounds. As you look around these shops and see the polished wood of chests and tables, you cannot help thinking of those long-dead hands which polished that wood, of those now-closed eyes which once looked at these pieces with love.

The books, too, may be antique and very precious; some may be rare first printings. Often when someone dies or has to move his house, his books may all be sold, so that sometimes you may find whole libraries in one shop. On the border between England and Wales, there is a town which has become a huge bookshop as well. Even the cinema and castle have been taken over, and now books have replaced sheep as the town’s main trade.

There are also much more humble shops, sometimes simply called “junk shops”, where you can buy small household pieces very cheaply. Sometimes the profits from these shops go to charity(慈善

事业). Even these pieces, though, can make you feel sad; you think of those people who once treasured them, but who have moved on to another country or to death.

Although the British do not worship(崇拜)their ancestors, they do treasure the past and the things of the past. This is true of houses as well. These days no one knocks them down; they are rebuilt until they are often better than new. In Britain, people do not buy something just because it is new. Old things are treasured for their proven worth; new things have to prove themselves before they are accepted.

64．Books which are found in second-hand book shops ________.

A．may be copies of the earliest printings

B．will never be rare

C．will never be worth very much

D．may be on sale for the first time

65．Second-hand goods sometimes fill you with sadness because________.

A．they are now forgotten

B．they are sold for charity

C．they remind you of the original owners

D．they are too expensive for average buyers

66．What was the small town on the border between England and Wales famous for before?

A．Its sheep. B．Its castle.

C．Its cinema. D．Its bookshops.

67．What does the underlined word “them”(Paragraph 4) refer to?

A．old houses B．profits from shops

C．old things D．junk shops

D

My father had returned from his business visit to London when I came in, rather late for supper. I could tell at once that he and my mother had been discussing something. In that half-playful, half-serious way I knew so well, he said, “How would you like to go to Eton?”

“You bet. ” I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous of schools. You should be entered at birth, if not before. I understood my father. He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of the middle class; our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100.

This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be dropped. Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not conflict with his fear of drawing attention to himself.

It seemed that he had happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow, and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the world , my father thought he might just as well phone them. I remember my eyes stinging(刺痛)and my hands shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness.

“Oh, he doesn’t want to go away. ” said my mother. “You shouldn’t go on like this. ”“It’s up to him. ” said my father. “He can make up his own mind.”

68．The house the writer’s family lived in was________.

A．the best they could afford B．right for their social position

C．built for showing off D．rather small

69．The writer’s father enjoyed being different as long as________.

A．it drew attention to him

B．it didn’t get him into an argument

C．it was understood as a joke

D．there was no danger of his showing off

70．What was the writer’s reaction to the idea of going to Eton?

A．He was very unhappy. B．He didn’t believe it.

C．He was delighted. D．He had mixed feelings.

71．We can know from the passage that________.

A．children who can go to Eton are the best

B．children can go to Eton if they want

C．Every family can not afford to send children to study at Eton

D．Children to attend Eton should be sent there at birth

E

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is expected to rule soon that milk from cloned animals and meat from their offspring (后代) are safe to eat.

The agricultural industry has observed a self-acting stop on using the products of clones, but it has recently become clear that a few offspring of cloned pigs and cows are already flowing into the food supply. Many in agriculture believe such genetic copies are the next logical step in improving the nation’s livestock (家畜).

Many Americans are likely to be against the idea of serving clones’milk to their children or putting meat from the offspring of clones into the kitchens. When they were asked earlier this year in a survey by the International Food Information Council whether they would willingly buy meat, milk and eggs that come from clones if the FDA declared them to be safe, 63 percent of consumers said no.

Yet scientific evidence suggests there is little cause for alarm, at least on food-safety grounds. Studies have shown that meat and milk from clones are not different from that from normal animals, although work is not complete and researchers say that clones do suffer slight genetic abnormalities (反常).

While milk from clones might reach the shelves, clones themselves are not likely to be eaten, since they cost thousands of dollars to produce. They’d be used as breeding stock(培育家畜), so the real question is whether their produced offspring would be safe.

The FDA has been promising a policy for three years, but hasn’t produced a final view, and some biotechnology companies involved in cloning have run out of cash while waiting. Livestock producers have called the FDA the“Foot Dragging Administration”.

72．What is the opinion of most Americans on serving cloned milk to their children?

A．They expect to serve clone milk to their children.

B．They have already fed their children with cloned milk.

C．They believe using the cloned milk is safe enough.

D．They won’t accept cloned milk.

73．What does the underlined sentence mean in the passage?

A．The clones are very rare, so they will never be used as food.

B．The clones cost too much money so it’s worth eating them.

C．The clones cost so much to produce, so they will not be used as food.

D．The FDA will make a decision that the clones are too expensive to eat as food.

74．Why has the FDA been called“Foot Dragging Administration”?

A．Because the FDA hasn’t made final policy in the limited time.

B．Because the FDA have used up their money to make cloned food.

C．Because the FDA doesn’t know whether the cloned meat is safe to eat or not.

D．Because the livestock producers like to play jokes.

75．What is the best title for this passage?

A．The offspring of cloned animals.

B．Clone-generated meat and milk may be accepted.

C．Cloned animal products are dangerous.

D．

The new plan on cloned animal products.

M: Oh, hello, Miss Debbie. I arrived a few days ago. I’m afraid I have to fly back before this weekend.

Text 2

W: While traveling, which do you prefer to take, train, ship or plane?

M: It depends. Different people have different reasons for their choice.

Text 3

M: I want to find a small flat. What should I do?

W: Well, firstly you should read the advertisements for flats to let in the local newspapers. Then you should phone and make an appointment. If it seems OK, you should go and see it.

Text 4

M: I there anyone available to help make a copy of my DVD?

W: No, not until tomorrow. But you can do it yourself by following the instructions on the computer. Text 5

M: You seem very tired lately.

W: It’s my new job in that newly-opened supermarket. It’s hard work, and the hours are long.

Text 6

M: Hi, Janet. How is it going at the bank?

W: Not too bad. A little boring . Hey , are you going home soon?

M: Pretty soon. I have a few more things to do. But I’ll be ready in ten minutes.

W: OK. I’ll wait---Uh, what’s the cassette player for?

M: I wrote a radio commercial and I just taped it.

W: You mean you’re going to have an ad on the radio?

M: Yeah. I’m going to give the tape to an ad agency. Just an idea. They can make a really professional ad from it.

W: That’s a great idea. I bet you’re going to get a lot of customers that way.

M: I hope so. I’ve got a lot of bills to pay.

Text 7

W: Hey , Paul. Tell me, what is your favorite way to travel?

M: Well, I would have to say it is by bicycle.

W: Really? Why?

M: When you’re on a bicycle, you can go slower and see the scenery. You can smell the flowers and hear the birds. It’s really the nicest way to travel.

W: What if you are traveling a long distance, though?

M: Oh, well, that’s different. In that case, I prefer the train.

W: Not the plane?

M: No, I don’t really like flying, and the food on the planes is terrible.

W: Then why do you like the train? Train food isn’t exactly delicious either, you know.

M: Yeah, you’re right. But at least I can pack a big lunch on the train, and if we stop for a while in a small town, then I can get off and maybe have a quick meal in a local restaurant.

W: But it takes so much longer by train.

M: Yes, but I’m not in any big hurry, and it also gives me a chance to relax with my book.

W: Not me ! I’d rather just get on a plane and get to where I’m going right away.

M: Well, Anna, that’s the different between you and me: When you travel, you’re interested in the destination; when I travel, I am more interested in the journey itself.

W: How are you doing, Andrew?

M: Not well. I’ve been feeling pretty lonely lately.

W: But you have so many friends! How could you be lonely?

W: What about me? I’m your friend.

M: I know you are, but you’re my girlfriend. I wish I had a guy friend to hang out with sometimes. W: I know what you mean. I find it difficult to make new friends, too. It’s not as easy as it was when we were young, is it?

The development of Beijing has left a bubble economy in housing construction as more people move into the city. This bubble economy has arisen because the Chinese people are now beginning to enjoy economic freedom and their spending power has increased. This can be seen in the increase in construction of new apartment buildings. Many of these buildings already have their apartments sold and are only waiting to be completed. People buy uncompleted apartments mainly because the price will be lower, as the builders already have guaranteed profit. Many things can inhibit the price of a house. If a new apartment block is surrounded by too much low-cost housing, this will surely affect the price of the house or apartment. Developers trying to combat this are buying up large areas with low-cost housing in an attempt to beautify the area around new construction. This makes it easier for real estate agencies to sell, because of a more attractive location. These new apartments are usually quite expensive, which keeps many people from enjoying them. Because of this, second-hand apartments are also seeing new life. Despite the rate of constructions , the demand is low because the price is too high. To solve this problem, the government is working to lower the high cost of housing. 1-5 CCBBC 6-10 CAACC 11-15 BABBA 16-20 BBCAA

书面表达

Dear Mr. Principal,

I am a senior student of our school. I’d like to say something about the canteen service in our school. In general, the service is satisfactory. The hall is clean and tidy. The dishes look inviting and taste delicious as well. What’s more, the workers there treat us as their friends, which makes us feel very happy.

However, we feel the price of the meals is a little too high. Besides, we can only have a limited variety of dishes with little change every week. In addition, we often have to stand in line for a long time before we can get the meal. You could understand how precious time is to us students. Therefore, may I suggest something be done to solve the problems so that we can all enjoy our meals at school?

Thanks for your consideration.

Sincerely yours,

Li Hua
