阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A,B,C,D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。                          

(A)

(You may read the questions first.)

6ec8aac122bd4f6e

6ec8aac122bd4f6e

Pearlcorder S702

This simple model at the bottom of the Olympus range scored the most points for its excellent quality of recording. Background noise hardly affects the sound and recording from a pocket is perfectly possible, but it doesn't turn off automatically.

Price:  $64

Tape length: 30 minutes per side.

Weight: 240g.

6ec8aac122bd4f6e

 

Sony M9

 

Small and very good looking. Sony's latest offering scored most for appearance. Sounds clear, but there is slight machine noise. The big control buttons are a great improvement on some of the complicated little controls on other tape-recorders. Doesn't switch off automatically but a red light shows if the machine is still running.

Price:  $ 49. 95

Tape length: 60 minutes per side.

Weight: 195g.

 

6ec8aac122bd4f6e

Sony M400

Lots of little control buttons that make a noise and are difficult to use. Recording was good but machine noise lost points. Tape counter and automatic switch-off when tape has finished recording or rewinding are useful.

Price:  $ 115 

Tape length: 60 minutes per side.

Weight: 230g.

6ec8aac122bd4f6e

Imperial OEM MC7

 

Cheap and simple compared with the rest, but recording was good as long as there was no background noise. Use only its own make of cassette. No light to show it is on, no fast forward button and the record button makes a loud noise.

Price:  $ 29. 95

Tape length: 30 minutes per side.

Weight: 285g.

6ec8aac122bd4f6e

Philips 585

 

Handsome and simple to use, but recording is very poor at more than the recommended distance of 5 cm-designed for dictation. No recording light.

Price:  $80

Tape length: 15 minutes per side.

Weight: 220g.

The Library Hotel is a luxury hotel in the heart of New York City. It is a favorite for people who look for a quiet place from the hustle and bustle. Housed in a 1900 building and designed to feel more like a private club than a hotel, it has a distinctive (显著的) library theme (主题) and possesses over 6,000 books.

    The hotel has 60 guest rooms located on ten separate floors (from floor 3 to floor 12) each dedicated to one of the ten classifications of knowledge: Social Science, Language, Math and Science, Technology, The Arts, Literature, History, General Knowledge, philosophy and Religion. All of the rooms are decorated with art and library books relating to the theme of a particular floor. Guests may request their room based on their personal interests. For example, on floor 11, the philosophy floor, you can choose Room 1100.006, the Love Room. Other interesting themed rooms include dinosaurs (Room 500.005), astronomy (Room 500.006), computers (Room 600.005), music (Room 700.005), fashion design (Room 700.006) and fairy tales (Room 800.005). If you are particularly interested in a book, and it’s time to leave, you can even pay for it, and take it home.

    Besides the guest rooms, the hotel has several public rooms where guests can pick up a book and read as they would do in a library. In the Reading Room, guests can enjoy free food throughout the day. Two other library-style rooms include a sparkling greenhouse, called the Poetry Garden, and a sitting room with a working fireplace, called the Writer’s Den.

59.   The phrase “hustle and bustle” in the first paragraph probably means ________.

       A. love of books                                B. busy work

       C. the noisy world                              D. personal interests

60.   We can find all the following information except _________.

    A. the location of the Library Hotel      B. the arrangement of the books

    C. the cost of renting a room               D. the themes of the books

61.   We can conclude from the passage that ________.

       A. the Library Hotel is the most luxury library in New York City

       B. you can get any books in the Library Hotel without being charged

       C. there are some rooms free for any people wishing to read there

       D. the Library Hotel is actually a private club

 

( C )

Being thirteen has certain problems that only another thirteen-year-old would understand. The biggest, I think , is learning to get along well with adults. I have found that when dealing with grown-ups, it is wise to remember two things:

1.       Always use your head.

2.       Never use your head.

For instance, one day just before supper, my mother sent me to the store for a loaf of

whole-wheat bread. They didn’t have any. When I told my mother, she said, “Well, what kind did you get? “ I told her I didn’t get any. She looked as if I had just announced that I was leaving home for good. “ For goodness’ sake, ” she said, “ if they didn’t have whole-wheat, you should have got something else!” Why don’t you use your head?”

Not long after that, she sent me to the store for red oilcloth. They didn’t have any, so I bought seven yards of purple, I thought it was pretty. Mother didn’t . She said,” Who ever heard of purple oilcloth in a red kitchen?” I told her I was only trying to use my head. She said, “ Well, don’t! And in the future, if you can’t get what I send you for, don’t get anything.”

See what I mean?

There are other things that seem a little strange, too. If my father goes out for the evening, he tells me to “ look after” my mother and sister. But, if the family goes out, and I want to stay home, my father won’t let me. He doesn’t feel comfortable if I am home alone. That means I am old enough to “ look after’ my mother and sister but not old enough to “look after” myself!

Another problem is what to do when you trip over the cat and land with your head in the refrigerator, causing a large lump to appear just over the right eyebrow. In this case, your father could feel free to explode with a few choice words. “ Your sister could shed enough tears to dampen the whole room. Your mother could, and probably would, do both. But you? You are thirteen and can’t do anything! You are too young to curse, and “ big boys” don’t cry. ” So you just stand there looking more stupid than usual. But in spite of all this, I still think thirteen is a wonderful age!

62.The main idea of the selection is that _______.

A. young children are annoying.

B. being thirteen involves too many responsibilities.

C. a thirteen-year-old boy is the sun of the family.

D. thirteen-year-olds have special problems.

63. The author says the biggest problem is ______.

A. learning how to use one’s head.

B. assuming responsibilities.

C. showing you can be trusted.

D. learning how to get along with grown-ups.

64. The author thinks that his father should allow him to _______.

A. go shopping by himself.                                B. stay at home alone.

C. look after the family.                                  D. use his head.

65. The author complains that there is no acceptable way for a thirteen-year-old boy to ________.

A. prevent his sister from crying .                       B. act when he is in the kitchen.

C. avoid tripping over the cat.                             D. behave when he hurts himself.

66. The main idea is illustrated chiefly by ______.

A. experiences that happened to the author’s friends.

B. imaginary experiences of a typical thirteen-year-old.

C. incidents from the author’s own experience.

D. wonderful experiences characteristic of a thirteen-year-old.

 

(D)

Authorities did not release the gunman’s name, but Peters said he had no record of police contact or an arrest record while attending Northern Illionois.

DeKalb county coroner(验尸官)Dennis J. Miller on Friday released the identities of the four victims who died in the county: Daniel Parmenter, 20, of Westchester; Catalina Garcia, 20, of Cicero; RyanneMace, 19, of Carpenters-ville; and Julianna Gehant, 32, of Meridan.

“Two other victims died after being transferred to hospitals in other counties,” Miller said. Witnesses said the gunman, dressed in black and wearing a stocking cap,  emerged from behind a screen on the stage of 200-seat Cole Hall and opened fire just as the class was about to end around 3 pm.

Officials said 162 students were registered for the class but it was unknown how many were there on Thursday.

Allyse Jerome, 19, a sophomore(大二学生)from Shunmburg, said the gunman burst through a stage door and pulled out a gun.

“Honestly, at first everyone thought it was a joke,” Jerome said. Everyone hit the floor, she said. Then she got up and ran, but tripped. She said she felt like “an open target.”

“He could’ve decided to get me,” Jerome said on Friday. “I thought for sure he was gonna get me.”

Lauren Carr said she was sitting in the third row when she saw the shooter walk through a door on the right-hand side of the stage, pointing a gun straight ahead.

“I personally Army-crawled halfway up the aisle(通道),” said Carr, a 20-year-old sophomore. “I said I could get up and run or I could die here.”

 She said a student in front of her was bleeding, “but he just kept running.”

More than a hundred students cried and hugged as they gathered outside the Phi Kappa Alpha house early Friday morning to remember Dan Parmenter, who was one of those killed.

67.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

      A.Everyone thought it was a joke when the gunman appeared in front of them.

B.Peters had no record of police contact or an arrest record while attending Northern Illionois.

       C.162 students were attending a lecture when the gunman emerged from behind the screen.

       D.The gunman opened fire as soon as the class came to an end.

68.How many people were shot to death according to the passage?

       A.4                        B.6                        C.8                        D.162

69.The following are not witnesses except            .

       A.Peters                 B.Dennis J. Miller   C.Dan Parmenter     D.Lauren Carr

70.What is the best title of the passage?

       A.Witnesses Tell of Horrible Experience    B.A Cruel Shooter

       C.162 Killed in an Accident                     D.An Unkown Gunman

 (E)

Sport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coachers, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.

The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skill that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find a fault in themselves.

Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters’ performances.Positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.

71.An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is _________.

A.to make sports less competitive             B.to increase their sense of success

C.to reduce their mental stress                  D.to make sports more challenging

72.According to the passage, sport is positive for young people in that _________.

A.it can help them learn more about society

B.it enables them to find faults in themselves

C.it can provide them with valuable experiences

D.it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves

73.Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes            .

A.believing that criticism is beneficial for their early development

B.without realizing criticism may destroy their self confidence

C.in order to make them remember life’s lessons

D.so as to put more pressure on them

74.According to the passage parents and coaches should _________.

A.pay more attention to letting children enjoy sports

B.help children to win every game

C.train children to cope with stress

D.enable children to understand the positive aspect of sports

75.The author’s purpose in writing the passage is __________.

A.to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout

B.to persuade young children not to worry about criticism

C.to stress the importance of positive support to children

D.to discuss the skill of combining criticism with encouragement

Ⅱ.读写任务 (25 分)

阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150左右的英语短文。

Honesty is one of the most treasured traditional values in China. The children are taught to be honest when they are very young. At schools the students are also instructed to be honest.

However, with the development of society, we often hear complaints about dishonesty. Reports with the theme of dishonesty often appear in the media. For example, some people try to get rich and live a comfortable life. But they do not work hard honestly, instead they cheat others. They sell something quite ordinary at a very high price. Some people's delaying paying back the loan can serve as another example. Some people, including some college students, get loan from the bank, and promise to pay within, say, 3 years. However, they don't do that.

The dishonest people sometimes can get benefit from their behaviors. So some people assert that dishonesty can bring people benefit, while honesty only makes people suffer. Is that so? Definitely not. It is always true that honesty is the best policy. It pays to be honest. The cheater selling "the treasure" mentioned above will surely be disclosed and punished some day.

On the contrary, if he had been honest, neither the buyer nor he himself would have suffered. The people who do not return money in time will sooner or later become infamous, and will not get the money from others again. If he had acted differently, he would have earned respect and trust, meanwhile, the bank would not have suffered from loss.

[参考范文]

The passage mainly tells us that nowadays many people are dishonest for their own benefit. Because not only they neglect our traditional values, but also they want to escape being punished.

Dishonesty does great harm to our society. It can destroy our good relationship with others, bringing lots of unstable factors to the society. Sometimes, it may even affect people’s health.

Why should we be honest? Firstly, being honest is one of Chinese traditional virtues which we should carry forward. Secondly, friendship is based on honesty. Seeing that the honest person is reliable, most of people are willing to make friends with them. Thirdly, honesty is very important for us to build a harmonious society and realize our spiritual civilization.

As students, we should act honestly every day and never cheat others, including cheat in exams. Besides, we should help those who are dishonest correct their mistakes. Only in this way can we win respect from others.
