Passage A
Rock and roll began in the 1950s in the USA. Rock and roll was based on African American styles of music -jazz, blues, rhythm and blues, and gospel and mixed with the sound of country. Elvis Presley was one of the first big stars of rock and roll. He was considered the "King" of rock and roll. Famous rock and roll stars and groups include Bill Haley and his group, the Comets, "Girl groups", the Ronettes (whose biggest hit was "Be My Baby"), the Crystals (whose biggest hit was "Da Doo Ron Ron" ), and the ShangriLas ( whose biggest hit was "Leader of the Pack" ) etc.
At the same time, in England, a group that became known as the Beatles was forming. Another British group formed at about the same time was the Rolling Stones.

Passage B
We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? "When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy (嫉妒) my luck?" "And Paul, why didn't he pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.
Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You're a lucky dog." that's being friendly. But "lucky dog"? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck. Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But
is he? Wrapped up (包藏) in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture (姿态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people to you may save another mistake.
A41. This passage is mainly about ____.
A. how to interpret what people say
B. what to do when you listen to others talking
C. how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people
D. why we go wrong with people sometimes
C42. According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that ____
A.we fail to listen carefully when they talk
B. we tend to doubt what our friends say
C. people usually state one thing but means another
D. people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say
B43. In the sentence "Maybe he doesn't see it himself." In the second paragraph, the pronoun “it” refers to _____
A.being friendly
B. a bit of envy
C. lucky dog
D. your luck
Passage C
There are three separate sources of danger in supplying energy by nuclear power (原子能).
First, the radioactive material must travel from its place of production to the power station. Although the power stations themselves are strongly built, the containers used for the transport of the materials are not. Normally, only two methods of transport are in use, namely road or rail, Unfortunately, both of these may have an effect on the general public, since they are sure to pass near, or even through, heavily populated areas.
Second, there is the problem of waste. All nuclear power stations produce wastes that in most cases will remain radioactive for thousands of years. It is impossible to make these wastes nonradioactive, and so they must be stored in one of the inconvenient ways that scientists have invented. For example, they may be buried under the ground, or dropped into deserted mines, or sunk in the sea. However, these methods do not solve the problem, since an earthquake could easily break the containers.
Third, there may occur the danger of a leak (泄漏) or an explosion at the power station. As with the other two dangers, this is not very likely, so it does not provide a serious objection to the nuclear program. However, it can happen.
Separately, these three types of dangers are not a great cause for worry. Taken together, though, the probability of disaster (灾难) is extremely high.
C46. Which of the following if FALSE?
A. It is possible that a leak or an explosion occurs at a power station.
B. It is unusual for radioactive materials to be transported across land.
C. The containers are likely to be broken by an earthquake.
D. Nuclear wastes remain dangerous in most cases for many years.
D47. The author thinks that the ways to store nuclear wastes are _____.
A. easy
B. impossible
C. reasonable
D. ineffective
D48. What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The power station is a safe place.
B. The dangers of nuclear energy can be prevented.
C. The general public are strongly against the nuclear program.
D. By itself, none of the three dangers is very likely to cause much worry.
B49. What is this passage about?
A. Uses of nuclear power.
B. Dangers from nuclear power.

Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can’t see them. They are like the seeds of plants but they are much smaller. They are very, very small, and there could be hundreds of them on the points of a needle. We can not see the germs with our own eyes, but we can see them with a microscope. Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we shall see them in it. Your father and mother will not let you drink dirty water, for it will make you ill. Germs are not found only in water. They are found in the air and in dust, too. If cut your hand, some of these germs will go into your hand.

Passage E
Louis Pasteur, the fa mous French chemist and bacteriologist, invented “pasteurization”. In 1854 Pasteur was made head of the department of science at the University of Lillc. and it was there that he made one of his most famous discoveries. Lille was a major center for wine and beer-making. And some of the local wine-makers asked Pasteur if he could help solve the problem of keeping wine fresh. At that time. It was believed that food and drinks go “had” due to a purely chemical process (变化过程). But during a series of experiments Pasteur proved
that tiny living organisms (微生物) caused food and drinks to go bad. In the case of wine and beer the organisms are already present in the form of the various yeasts (酵母) that caused the fermentation (发酵) process. Pasteur discovered that heating the wine gently for a few minutes after it had fermented would kill off the yeast that was left in the wine, with the result that the wine would remain fresh for much longer. He also proved that food and drinks could be turned bad by other organisms that were present in the air, and that they too would keep fresh much longer if they were kept in airtight containers.
The heating process was so successful that it made Pasteur famous. It was named “pasteurization” in his honor, and by about 1900 it had be en widely used for processing and bottling cows’ milk. The result was a huge drop in the number of bottle-fed babies dying from infant diarrhea (婴儿腹泻) and from that time on it has been a standard treatment for milk and many other food products. This simple process has saved thousands, possibly millions, of lives worldwide.
A56. Pasteur became _______in 1854.

Passage F
Dolphins (海豚) are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this they are like other animals, such as beasts and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time－at least twenty or thirty years.
Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw.
Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.
There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area－except for The Penguin.
Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.
B41. Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they _____.
A. live in groups

B. They enjoyed playing with him.
C. He was seriously wounded.
D. They wanted his help
A44. By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that _____.
A.dolphins are friendly and clever

Passage G
Excused from recycling(回收利用) because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute (垃圾道)? You won't be for long. Miami's Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too .
In Shantzis' Hi-Rise Recycling System, a chute leads to a pie-shaped container with six boxes that can turn around when operated. The system , which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use, enables glass , plastic , paper , metal , and other rubbish to go into separate boxes .
The system is controlled from a board next to the chute door. The board has a button for each class of recycling materials (as well as for unrecyclables). At the press of a button, a microcomputer locks all other floors' chute door and sets the recycling container turning until the right box comes under the chute. The computer also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full. And a particular piece of equipment breaks up the nonrecyclables
Sorting(分类) recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting . Such equipment often makes recycled materials very expensive, so expensive that tons of recyclables remain wasted . Shantzis believes his system could help recycled materials become more cost-effective.
A49. The purpose in writing this text is _________.
A. to encourage people to recycle their rubbish

Passage H
Some time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn't think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception(接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn't even look at my chair.
The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth－so I decided that my approach must be wrong.
I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?" He looked it over carefully and said, "Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?" "Twenty pounds," I said. "OK," he said, "I'll give you twenty pounds." "It's got a slightly broken leg," I said. "Yes, I saw that, it's nothing."
Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I asked. "Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done." "I'll buy it," I said. "What do you mean? You've just sold it to me," he said. "Yes, I know but I've changed my mind. I am sorry. I'll give you twenty-seven pounds for it." "You must be crazy," he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. "I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair." "You're right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, ' Would you mean this chair for me?' " "I wouldn't have agreed to do it," he said. "We don't do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I'll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver?" He was a very nice man and was greatly amused(感到有趣) by the whole thing.

Passage I
Most British telephone cards just plain green, but card collecting becoming a popular hobby in Britain and collectors even have their own magazine, International Telephone Cards.

Passage O
One would have to be a fool to overlook the importance of using positive thinking for you rather than allowing negative thinking to work against you . In recent years , research in psychopharmacology（精神药理学）has proven what many people have known over the centuries :a positive attitude is good for you , good for your health , good for your wealth , good for everything . Researchers found that a positive attitude produces a specific chemical reaction which makes people feel better ,while negative thinking results in a decline of hormone （荷尔蒙）and shuts down the immune （免疫的）system . This leads to illness and depression . Positive thoughts will make you feel better . Even if you must begin by literally forcing yourself to be positive (faking it , so to speak ) , it will become contagious （会传播的）and the positive thoughts will generate nice little chemicals and good feelings which will reinforce the positive thoughts .
For example , if you force yourself to smile of laugh , even when you don’t feel like smiling or laughing , if you keep at it for a few minutes ,you will soon feel like it . Feelings can generate thoughts , but thoughts can also generate feelings . Control your thoughts and you can control your feelings . Positive thinking is important in all aspects of our lives . There is probably no single factor more important in determining your success in achieving your career objectives than your own attitude .
It’s often been said that in the land of the blind , the one-eyed man is king . And in the office of militant（好战）negativism , the positive workers shine like gold . You cannot control external events , but you can learn to control your reaction to those events and thereby have a positive attitude and be happy . This vital key to success is totally within your control . Use it .
B52. If you are not a fool , you should______ .
A. overlook the importance of using the positive thinking.
B. attach（加强）importance to positive thinking
C. allow the use of negative thinking
D. have positive thinking as well as negative thinking
C53. We can infer from the passage that _____.
A. positive thinking can cure you of your diseases
B. positive thinking can easily be generated by anyone
C. a decline of hormone may cause you to be depressed
D. a specific chemical reaction is the cause of negative thinking
D54. According to the passage , which of the following is true ?
A. Feelings and thoughts can generate each other .
B. It’s easier to control thoughts than to control feelings .
C. Your success depends wholly on your attitude .

Passage P
Money spent on advertising is money spent as well as any I know of. It serves directly to bring about a rapid sale of goods at reasonable prices, so setting up a firm home market and making it possible to provide for export (出口) at good prices. By drawing attention to new ideas it helps greatly to raise standards of living. By helping to increase demand it causes an increased need for labor, and is therefore a nice way to fight unemployment. It lowers the costs of many services: without advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as much, the price of your television program would need to be doubled, and travel by bus or subway would cost more.
And perhaps most important of all, advertising provides a promise of reasonable value in the products and services you buy. Besides the fact that twenty-seven Acts of Parliament(国会)govern the terms of advertising, no regular advertiser dare produce anything that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements. He might fool some people for a little while through misleading advertising. He will not do so for long, for the public has the good sense not to buy the poor goods more than once. If you see product frequently advertised, it is the proof I know that the product does what is promised for it, and that it has good value.
Advertising does more for the good of the public than any other force I can think of.
There is one more point I feel I ought to touch on. Recently I heard a well-known television person declared that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs. He was telling us the real difference. Of course advertising tries to persuade.
If its message were nothing but information, that would be difficult to get more people to buy, for even the choice of the color of a shirt is a bit persuasive (有说服力的)--advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention. But perhaps that is what the well-known television person wants.
A53. By the first sentence of the passage the writer means that ___.
A. he is fairly familiar with the cost of advertising
B. everybody knows well that advertising is a waste of money
C. advertising costs more money than everything else
D. money on advertising is worth spending
A54. In the passage, which of the following is NOT included in the advantages of advertising?
A. Getting greater fame.
B. Providing more jobs.
C. Raising living standards.
D. Reducing newspaper cost.
C56. In the writer's opinion, ________.
A. advertising can seldom bring material interest to man by providing information
B. advertising informs people of new ideas rather than wins them over
C. there is nothing wrong with advertising in persuading the buyer
D. the buyer is not interested in getting information from an advertisement
Passage Q
SOUTHPORT, ENGLAND—A British teaching union famous for strange ideas has supported proposal to employ dogs as classroom assistants .
At the annual conference of the Professional Association of Teachers in Southport , northwest of England , one person suggested properly trained dogs be able to keep order in primary schools .They can round up lost children and protect those who experience unfortunate “accidents”. Wendy Dyble, a Sheetland Islands woman who teaches children up to age seven , made it clear to her fellow friends that she was not “barking mad”. They obviously believed her , supporting her idea by 16 votes to 13 , with a total of 63 abstentions .
She said big dogs could help round up children , keep them in line , lick up the milk they spill on the floor and provide the extra eyes that a teacher needs to keep order . “A big dog would also be helpful for breaking up fights and look for lost property , like gym shoes or dolls ,” Dyble said at the conference . “The dog will also be useful in sniffing out smells that children do not own up to , ”she added .“It would be nice for the teacher not to have to go round sniffing each child to find the culprit .”
The idea was greeted by the Dog Defense League but less so by bigger teaching unions . A spokesman for Education Secretary David Blunkett , who is blind , said his guide dog was always popular with pupils when he visited schools . The Professional Association of Teachers , with around 35,000 members , is the smallest teaching union in Britain . It has an honor for occasional strange ideas .
Earlier this week , its annual conference here suggested stopping exams because they lead to stress and introducing selection at the age of 12 based on physical coordination and manual skill in the use of hand .
B57. According to the writer’s opinion , to employ dogs as c lassroom assistants _____.
A．is a wonderful idea
B. can improve the relation between children and animals
C. is beyond ordinary people’s minds
D. can make some teachers lose jobs

He did very well and sailed with the navy to Canada, where the war with the French was also being fought. In 1759 the French army was defending the city of Quebec, which stood high on a rock above the ST. Lawrence River. Cook went （68）back and down the river in order to chart all the dangerous rocks. Finally he was able to mark a path for the warships to follow. He led the ship down the river to a place （69）where the British army could land safely and take the enemy by surprise. After （70）the short battle, the French were defeated and the city of Quebec was seized.
（二）
How to get rid （61）of waste is a great problem for the world today. Waste must （62）be treated so that it does not become a danger to life. Unfortunately, （63）in some countries waste from factories （64）that still poured straight （65）into river. People who use the water （66）from one of these rivers often get sick. The water may become so polluted （67）that it kills all the fish in the river. When this river finally reaches the sea, it（68）pollutes the ocean. In many countries with sea coasts, human waste is piped directly into the sea without being treated. This is unsafe. Although the sea breaks up the waste, beaches may become polluted and fish may not be safe （69）to eat. A better method is to （70）keep the waste far out to sea in ships where the wind and waves break it down.
（三）
European countries are now making （61）an active effort to reuse materials more （62）than they used to. This is called recycling. Materials such （63）as paper, glass or metal are collected, sorted, treated （64）that used again. Old newspapers are recycled. The ink is taken out （65）of a special technique, and new paper （66）of made. Oil from factories and motor oil can （67）be treated and reused. In many cities （68）that Europe rubbish is collected separately.
五.将下列英语翻译成汉语
1）Madame Curie will always be remembered as the discoverer of radium. Marie Curie was born in Poland, on November 7th, 1867. When she was young, she became interested in physics and read as many books as she could on the subject. At that time women were not admitted to universities in Poland, so Marie was determined to go to Paris and study there. She arrived in Paris in 1890.
玛丽·居里(居里夫人)被认为是镭的发现者，她于1867年11月7日出生在波兰。当她还在童年时就对物理产生了极大地兴趣，并阅读了大量相关书籍。当时波兰不允许妇女上大学，因此居里夫人决定去巴黎学习，并于1890年到达巴黎。
2）They invented different kinds of fishing nets, also a curiously shaped pieces of wood for hunting which could be thrown and which would return to the thrower if it did not strike anything. They lived by hunting animals, birds and fish, and by gathering roots, nuts and wild fruits. They became experienced at finding underground springs. As a result, the Kooris have been able to live for thousands of years in a desert land in which a foreigner would quickly starve or die from lack of water
他们发明了不同种类的渔网，甚至是一些稀奇古怪的木片用来捕猎。他们以捕猎动物、鸟类和鱼类为
生，也收集各种植物的根、果实和野生的水果为食，他们也会在春天来临时在地底寻找食物。因此，kooris 能在干燥的沙漠（普通人会因缺水和饥饿很快死亡的沙漠）里生存了数以千年。
3）I have learnt English for quite some years, but I often make mistakes when speaking the language.
I wonder what will happen if I meet with a native speaker.
The English corner is the place where I can practice my spoken English.
In a fairly real situation, I can talk to others about whatever I want to.
In this way, I am sure I will speak English quite smoothly very soon.
What's more, it offers a chance for me to make friends.
I can meet various kinds of people.
Gradually we come to know each other and become friends.
我已经学习英语很多年了，但是每当交流时总会犯错误。我在设想当我碰到一个说英语的外国人时会发生什么。在英语角里我可以练习我的口语，以便在现实生活中能用上。通过这种方式，我敢肯定我能说一口流利的英语，另外，我还可以交到朋友和结识不同类型的人，逐渐地我们就可以成为朋友。
4）How to get rid of waste is a great problem for the world today. Waste must be treated so that it does not become a danger to life. Unfortunately, in some countries waste from factories is still poured straight into river. People who use the water from one of these rivers often get sick. The water may become so polluted that it kills all the fish in the river. When this river finally reaches the sea, it pollutes the ocean.
如何解决当今困扰世界的浪费问题？浪费问题必须认真对待才不会对我们的生活构成威胁，但不幸的是，在许多城市，工业废弃物会直接倒入河流，会导致人们生病，使河里的鱼类无法生存。然而，这些被污染的河流最终会流入大海，致使整个海洋受到污染。

The programs show you how running can offer competition or just be for fun. They also teach runners to set practical goals and take care of their bodies. Runners have great respect for each other because they know how difficult the sport can be. If you go to a race, you’ll see peopl e cheering for all the runners. Running isn’t always about how fast you are running or how far you’re going. It’s about getting out there and d oing it.

Think again. Leasing can end up being just as expensive as buying. Most people think about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They're right-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were to lease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If you were to buy the same car, you would pay about $400 per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But after your lease is over, you have to give the car back. Many people want to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwise be able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you might be able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buy a used Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model. A lease，therefore，allows you to drive the latest models of more expensive cars. However, whatever car you can afford to buy you get to keep it, and it will always have a resell or trade-in(以新旧换)value if you want to upgrade to a new car later. Furthermore, people who lease cars are often shocked by how much they must pay when the lease is over . Most leases limit you to a certain number of miles. If you go over that, you must pay for each mile. As a result, you may end up paying thousands of dollars in mileage(里程) fees. In addition, when you lease ,you have to pay for regular maintenance and repairs to the vehicle. Since you must return the car finally, you are paying to repair someone else's car.
