第二节 完型填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36－55各题所给的四个选项（Ａ、Ｂ、Ｃ和Ｄ）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

As Amy Hagadorn rounded the corner across the hall from her classroom, she knocked into a tall boy from the fifth grade running in the opposite direction.

“36 Watch it !” the boy shouted. Then, with a silly smile on his face, the boy 37 took hold of his right leg and walked the way Amy limped（跛行）when she walked.

Amy closed her eyes. “38Ignore him!” She told herself as she headed for her classroom.

But at the end of the day, Amy was still thinking about the tall boy’s 39 unfriendly way. It wasn’t as if he were the only one. It seemed that ever since Amy started the third grade, someone laughed at her 40 every single day . Kids made fun of her about her 41 speaking or her limping. Amy was 42 tired of it. Sometimes, even in a classroom full of other students, the teasing(嘲笑) made her feel 43 all alone.

Back home at the dinner table that evening, Amy was 44 quiet. Her mother knew that things were not going well at 45 school. That’s why she was happy to have some exciting news to 46 share with her daughter.

“There is a Christmas 47 wish contest on the radio station,” Amy’s Mom announced. “48 Write a letter to Santa, and you might win a prize. I think 49 someone at the table with blonde（白肤金发的） curly hair should enter.”

A 50 smile took hold of Amy when the idea first came to her. Out came pencil and paper, and Amy went to work on her letter. “Dear Santa Claus,” she began.

While Amy worked at her letter, the rest of the family tried to 51 guess what she might ask from Santa. Amy’s sister, Jamie, and Amy’s Mom both thought a three―foot Barbie doll would 52 top Amy’s wish list. Amy’s Dad guessed a picture book. But Amy wasn’t 53 ready to tell her secret Christmas wish just then. Here is Amy’s letter to Santa, just 54 as she wrote it that night:

Dear Santa Claus,

My name is Amy. I am nine years old. I have a problem at school. Can you help me, Santa? Kids laugh at me because of the way I walk and run and talk. I have cerebral palsy（脑瘫）. I just want one 55 day when no one laughs at me or makes fun of me.

第三部分：阅读理解（共２０小题；每小题２分，满分４０分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Traditionally，universities have carried out two main activities: research and teaching. Many scholars would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving society. The basic question, however, is: How does society want or need to be served?^（56）

In recent years, universities have been coming under increasing pressure from both governments and the public to ensure that they do not remain “ivory towers” of study separated from the realities of everyday life.^（57） University teachers have been encouraged, and in some cases forced to provide more courses which provide graduates with the technical skills which are commercially useful. If Aristotle wanted to work in a university in the UK today, he would have a good chance of teaching computer science but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher.^（58）

A post-industrial society requires large number of computer programmers, engineers, managers and technicians to keep and develop its economic growth but “man”, as the Bible says, “does not live by bread alone.” Besides requiring medical and social services which do not directly be given to economic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and art.^（59） In these cost-sensible times, it has even been pointed out in being reasonable for the funding of the arts that they can be useful money earners. A successful musical, for example, can contribute as much to the Gross National Product through tourist dollars as any other things.

56. Some people believe that traditional education _____.

A. somewhat fails to meet the social needs     B. serves the society very well

C. stresses teaching too much               D. stresses research too much

57. We can infer from the passage that _____.

A. the governments hold back the college education

B. the society is not satisfied with the present college education

C. teachers are always forced to do what they don’t like to do

D. teachers dislike teaching commercially useful courses

58. The Aristotle example is used to make the point that _____.

A. universities in the UK have produced too many good-for-nothing graduates

B. philosophy is no longer useful as it is difficult to understand

C. it is advisable（明智的）for today’s philosophers to know computer science

D. education should serve the social needs

59. The author believes that _____.

A. the increase of economy is the only aim of today’s society

B. art is useful only when it is made into a money earner

C. universities should not provide literature or art courses

D. both technical skills and the arts meet the society’s needs

B

    When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood-stream. If the danger continues, it will defend itself, or it will run away as fast as possible.

    Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry, scared or aroused（冲动） by others’ emotions, our bodies go through many physical changes, all of which make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run. Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face.^（60） If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger ― or hit somebody ― and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn’t always wise to express your feelings freely.

Does this mean that it’s smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep your feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up（掩饰） inside, your body stays tense. Physical illnesses can develop, and you can feel disturbed badly inside. It can actually be bad for your health.

    You can try to treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can hide them and you can pretend they don’t exist,^（62） but they’ll still be around. And at last you’ll have to deal with them, just like those bananas.

60. By taking cat as an example, the author wants to show us that _____.

A. animals can’t control their feelings

B. people can’t control their feelings

C. people’s physical reactions (*physical changes*)are like those of animals in a way

  *physical reactions are different, because people know how to control or hide themselves.*

D. people’s bodies go through many physical changes in certain situations, too

61. It’s mentioned in the text that human beings get into trouble because _____.

A. we are not as alert as animals

B. we sometimes can’t control our feelings

C. we always do something wrong to other people *not mentioned*

D. we don’t pay attention to our physical changes *not mentioned*

62. The author wants to tell us in the last two paragraphs that_____.

A. there’s no way to deal with our feelings

B. we should put some bananas in a cupboard when we’re angry or scared ×

C. feelings will gradually disappear when we hold them in

D. we should neither express our feelings freely nor hide the bad feelings inside

63. The author’s purpose in writing this article is to _____.

A. tell us that it’s pretty good to keep our feelings inside

B. give some advice on how to express our feelings freely

C. make us deal with our feelings in a wise way

D. make us know it isn’t always good to express our feelings freely

C

    WHO would have thought a man who lived in the Stone Age would be dressed in clothes made in China? A thousand-year-old mummy, nicknamed Otzi the Iceman was wearing a Chinese jacket, latest research has found. But where and how he got the jacket has become a topic of great debate.

    Otzi is the nickname of a well-preserved （保存完好的）mummy from about 3300 BC. He was found in 1991 in the Otztal Valley in the Alps, near the border between Austria and Italy. Two German tourists, Helmut and Erika Simon ^(66B)found him when they were climbing.

    Otzi was thought to be the body of a soldier who fought during WWI but was found to be thousands of years older. Analyzing Otzi showed that the items with him were all of different ages.

His arrows are 7000 years old, the axe(斧头) belonged to a time hundreds of years later and the skin in which the man was dressed originally belonged to a goat that lived in China^(66A). Otzi’s tattoo(纹身) shows that he might have been a wizard(男巫)*witch女巫*, according to Prauda, the official newspaper in Russia.

    There are still many mysteries surrounding otzi, yet the most famous and frightening one is his curse. It is said that Otzi had mystic（神秘的） powers^（66D） and those who trouble his dead body will be doomed to die⁽⁶⁴⁾. Otzi has claimed（夺走生命） seven people so far. With the death of several people who have touched the remains of the ancient man, the “Otzi curse（咒语）” mystery has snowballed.

64. In this passage, the writer suggests that _____.

A. we should not go to the Alps because many people died there  *not mentioned*

B. many people that have studied Otzi have died

C. Otzi is an Egyptian mummy, found in the Alps

D. Otzi is Chinese, because of the clothing he was wearing

65. The underlined word “snowballed” in the last sentence means that _____.

A. people pay their respect to the dead by throwing snowballs

B. people who have touched Otzi’s body have often died shortly after being hit with snowballs

C. the mystery around the curse gets larger and larger, like a snowball rolling down a hill

D. Otzi was found buried with many snowballs that scientists agree may have been used as weapons in the time when Otzi was alive

66. In the passage, which of the following statements is not mentioned?

A. Otzi was wearing a jacket, made of the skin of a goat that lived in China.

B. Helmut and Erika Simon discovered Otzi in the Alps in 1991.

C. Helmut was the seventh victim of Otzi’s curse.

D. Otzi is said to have mystic powers.

67. What is the best title of the passage?

A. The Curse of the Iceman       B. A Great Discovery

C. A Well-preserved Mummy      D. A Man Who Lived in the Stone Age

D

Americans are proud of their variety and individuality (个性), yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform^,(68) whether it is the uniform of a lift operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?

Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian (百姓的) clothes. People have become conditioned to expect higher quality from a man who wears a uniform.⁽⁶⁹⁾ The television repairman who wears a uniform is likely to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic（修理工） is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a hairdresser, or a waiter to lose professional identity (职业身份) than to step out of uniform?

Uniforms also have many practical good points. They are often more comfortable and more lasting than civilian clothes.

Primary*要点* among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the loss of individuality ^（70）experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they are likely to think, speak, and act similarly on the job at least.

Uniforms also give rise to*导致；引起* some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial（最初的） expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering（洗涤） possible with many types of civilian clothes.

68. What surprises us is that Americans _______.

A. still judge a man by his clothes

B. think highly of uniforms

C. less prefer wearing civilian clothes

D. respect a lift operator in uniform

69. People are likely to think that a man in uniform ________.

A. suggests quality work

B. shows his social position

C. appears to be more practical

D. looks more fresh and attractive

70. Those who are against uniforms believe that people wearing uniforms ______.

A. are usually helpful      B. have little freedom

C. lose personal character   D. enjoy greater popularity

71. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.

A. people generally trust a person in uniform

B. people enjoy wearing comfortable uniform *not mentioned*

C. the cost of the uniform is acceptable to people *not mentioned*

D. people wear uniforms to show their profession

Dear Chairman,

I would like to apply as a volunteer for 2008 Olympic Games.

I am 19 and come from Beijing 106 High School. When the news came that Beijing would host the 2008 Olympic Games, I was very excited. In my opinion, to host the 2008 Olympic Games is an honor for our country. Being a volunteer is also a once-in-a-life experience. At the same time, we can make contributions to our country.

In our school, we often communicate with each other in English in order to improve it. At the same time, I decide to learn more about the English culture because I want to be a volunteer.

I am looking forward to an early reply.

                                                          Yours sincerely,

                                                               Wang Hua
