　　Do you know something about tree rings?Do you know they can tell us what the weather was like, sometimes even hundreds of years ago?

　　A tree will grow well in a climate with lots of sunshine and rainfall．And little sunshine or rainfall will limit(限制)the growth of climate by studying the tree rings．For example, to find out the weather of ten years ago, count the rings of a tree from the outside to the inside．If the tenth ring is far from the eleventh ring, then we’re sure that it was sunny and rainy most of that year．If it is near to the eleventh ring, then the climate that year was bad．

　　Tree rings are important not only for studying the history of weather but also for studying the history of man．Many centuries ago there lived a lot of people at a place in New Mexico．But now you can find only sand there－no trees and no people．What happened?

　　A scientist studied the rings of dead trees there．He found that the people had to leave because they had cut down all the trees to make fires and buildings．As all the trees had gone, the people there had to move．

(1)

________ in good climate．
[　　]
A．	Tree rings grow far from each other
B．	Tree rings become thinner
C．	Trees don’t need sunshine or rainfall
D．	People can cut down most of the trees

(2)

The scientists are interested in studying tree rings because tree rings can tell ________．
[　　]
A．	whether a tree was strong or not
B．	whether people took good care of the trees or not
C．	whether the climate was good or not
D．	how old the trees were

(3)

If you want to find out the weather of twenty years ago,you should study ________．
[　　]
A．	the twentieth ring
B．	the tenth ring
C．	the nineteenth ring
D．	the twenty first ring

(4)

Why did people usually live in places with lots of trees?
[　　]
A．	Trees could tell the change of the weather．
B．	Trees brought lots of sunshine and rain．
C．	Trees could make weather not too hot or too cold．
D．	Trees could be used for burning and for building house．

(5)

The people had to leave the place in New Mexico because ________．
[　　]
A．	bad weather stopped the growth of trees
B．	they no longer had water and the land became sand
C．	they didn’t have enough trees for burning
D．	there was too much rain there

Count Me Out

　　Call me old-fashioned．Call me old．Call me what you want, but I refuse to become part of this new Internet world．

　　I do not possess a computer at home or at the office．Actually, I stopped going to an office 35 years ago, when all communications were done with a pen, a typewriter, or, if the matter was of world-shaking importance, over the telephone．Likewise, if you like something advertised in a newspaper or magazine, you visited the shop selling it at the given address, or you phoned the number shown．Then you spoke to the fellow and asked for further details．

　　Tell me what you think of the following ad that appeared the other day in the newspaper．It was for a cure for cancer and this is what it said：“Awareness is the key．Visit spfulford．com at the awareness site．” There was no address or telephone number for the site．So what do unfortunate people without a computer do if they are seeking a cure for their illness?

　　There are, I am told, certain advantages in having access to the Internet．You can, for example, send love messages across the world or even get married to someone that you meet online．This bit doesn’t interest me; I have been happily married for 60 years．There are, of course, other activities for Internet users besides finding love．They can pay bills, order groceries, or discuss with their doctors．

　　And this is by no means all．More amazing things are yet to come in the near future．I read a newspaper report recently that quoted Stephen Hawking, an important British scientist．“The complexity of a computer as it exists today is probably less than the brain of an earthworm,” he said．“But, as technology advances, computers will become more complex, and a time may come when the Internet may develop ‘consciousness．’ In other words, the Internet will be able to think, have feelings, and may well be able to act on its own．”

　　If Professor Hawking is right, I may change my attitude to computers．As I grow older each day, I would like one of those that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibilities for all my mistakes．

(1)

What’s the meaning of the title “Count Me Out”?
[　　]
A．	Get me out of the Internet world．
B．	Computers are trying to take control of life．
C．	Modern technology pushes old people away．
D．	Do not expect me to be a supporter of the Internet．

(2)

According to Paragraph 2, the author thinks computers are _________．
[　　]
A．	unnecessary
B．	convenient
C．	expensive
D．	advanced

(3)

What might the author like about the future computer?
[　　]
A．	Taking blames．
B．	Curing illnesses．
C．	Delivering messages．
D．	Responding to emotions．

（6）阅读理解
It is time for students to sell such things as chocolate bars and greeting cards to raise money for their school, class or club. It is inevitable that they will knock on your door and you will easily hand ever your cash for overpriced items that you really do not want. That is okay, though, because there are many reasons why children should be allowed to raise money for their schools and clubs.
Fundraising(自筹资金) is a great way to help children learn social skills. It is not easy to go up to a complete stranger and ask them for their money. They have to nicely ask for help, show the interested buyer what they have to offer and explain how it will help them in school. If someone refuses to buy an item, that child has to take the failure in stride（从容处理）, and that is a learning lesson as well.
Students can learn how to deal with money by fundraising. Of course, it might seem safer for us to take charge of our children’s earnings from their fundraising before it is turned in to the school. However, by making them keep track of it, count it, and make sure everyone pays the right amount, they are learning an important lesson. Dealing with money is important to know about when they are older.
Fundraising helps improve their schools. It is the child’s school. They have to learn there and grow there. Why not let them help in making it a better place? When one of our local schools lacked funding for sports, the students and parents joined hands to raise that money needed. When they succeeded, they felt they accomplished something important.
Fundraising allows for more life experiences for the child. Most fundraising is done for individual classes and clubs. The raised money is used towards things like parties, trips. The children receive the rewards for their hard work at raising the money. Without fundraising, these field trips and special school memories would be missed.
In a word, fundraising helps children a lot in many ways.
1. We can infer that the author is probably a       .
A. manager   B. student   C. parent    D. officer
2. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. Children should be allowed to fundraise.
B. Fundraising is good for both families and children.
C. Children should learn to deal with money.
D. Children should be taught how to fundraise.
3. Which of the following is not the benefits of fundraising by students?
A. It’s a good way to gain social skills for students.
B. Students can master the skills in financing through it.
C. It can help students get high mark at school.
D. It gives students many valuable life experiences.
4. The author thinks that fundraising         .
A. adds to the family’s burden        B. wastes the learning time
C. cultivates the children’s character   D. builds up the children’s bodies

17【题文】You're busy filling out the application form for a position you really need. Let's assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree. Isn't it appealing to lie just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma represents a Harvard degree? Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University? More and more people are turning to cheat like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers, for personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university.

Registrars（登记员） at most well-known colleges say they deal with deceitful claims like these at the rate of about one per week. Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms, then. If it turns out that an applicant is lying, most colleges are unwilling to accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League school calls them "cheats"; another refers to them as "special cases". One well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says that these claims are made by "no such people". To avoid outright(彻底的) lies, some job-seekers claim that they "attending" means being dismissed after one semester. It may be that "being associated with" a college means that the job-seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the century—that's when they began keeping records, anyhow. If you don't want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a false diploma.

　　One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of nonexistent colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from "Smoot State University". The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the "University of Purdue". As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper.

41.The main idea of this passage is that ______.

A．employers are checking more closely on applicants now

B．lying about college degrees has become a widespread problem

C．college degrees can now be purchased easily

D．employers are no longer interested in college degrees

42.According to the passage, "special cases" refers to cases that ______.

A．students attend a school only part-time

B．students never attended a school they listed on their application

C．students purchase false degrees from commercial firms

D．students attended a famous school

43.We can infer from the passage that _______.

A．performance is a better judge of ability than a college degree

B．experience is the best teacher

C．past work histories influence personnel officers more than degrees do

D．a degree from a famous school enables an applicant to gain advantage over others in job competition

44.This passage implies that ______.

A．buying a false degree is not moral

B．personnel officers only consider applicants from famous schools

C．most people lie on applications because they were dismissed from school

D．society should be greatly responsible for lying on applications

18【题文】Doris Lessing was born in 1919 in Persia, moving as a child with her family to southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, where she stayed in school only to the age of 14.

A year after moving to London, she published her first novel in 1950. The Grass is Singing examines unbridgeable racial conflict in colonial Africa through the eyes of a white farmer's wife and her black servant.

Her literary breakthrough came in 1962 with publication of The Golden Notebook, seen by many, though not necessarily Lessing, as a pioneering work of modern feminism（女权运动）. A disjointed study of the mind of the main character, Anna Wulf, the novel explores her thoughts about Africa, politics, relationships with men and sex, and Jungian analysis and dream interpretation.

Lessing's themes changed to psychology in her works from the 1960s, and by the 1970s she was interested in the Islamic mystic tradition of Sufism（苏菲教派）. Her turn toward science fiction with the Canopus series in the early 1980s was not warmly received by traditional critics, but she has continued to be popular with new readers and numerous literary awards, including the David Cohen British Literary Prize and the Companion of Honour from the Royal Society of Literature, both in 2001.

Following the announcement, the Horace Engdahl told VOA why he was personally so pleased with Lessing's selection.

“She is one of the truly great writers -- of novels, short stories, fiction and non-fiction,” Engdahl said. “She is one of the few writers who have had the courage to uphold the principle of equality between the male and female experience, and she has given the impulse to numbers of other women writers. And she is really the mother of a school that is one of the most important in our contemporary literature.”

At 87, Doris Lessing is the oldest Nobel Literature winner since the first prizes were awarded in 1901.

49. What would be the best title of the passage?

A．Doris Lessing’s Great Writings.

B．Doris Lessing’s Concern about Africa.

C．A Great Writer of Novel and a Pioneer of Modern Feminism.

D．A Nobel Prize Winner for Literature.

50.It can be inferred from the passage that _______.

A．there are only two characters in The Grass is Singing

B．The Golden Notebook is regarded as Lessing’s masterpiece by herself

C．life in Africa in her early age lays solid foundation for her writing

D．Doris Lessing is strongly against traditional culture in Africa

51.According to the fourth paragraph, _______.

A．Lessing began to believe in Christ in the 1970s

B．Lessing’s science fiction won readers

C．Lessing had won two literary medals for her writings

D．Lessing changed her themes to meet the needs of traditional critics

52.The underlined word “impulse” in the 6th passage is closest in meaning to _______.

A．pressure
