As you are students of English, it’s very possible that you’ll be interested in England. That’s where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now I would like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use the names—England, Britain or Great Britain. Let’s see what each of these names means. If you look at a map of Europe, you’ll see a group of islands—one larger island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles (不列颠群岛). The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland (爱尔兰). Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the Word “England” is used instead of “Britain”. Why so? In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in These different countries spoke different language. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.There’s another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “the Untied Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. That is official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England”, “Britain”, “Great Britain”, and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. Now do you know what each of them means?(1). English was first spoken in ( ) A. Britain B. England C. Great Britain D. Ireland (2). Britain is divided into( ) A. England, Britain, and Wales B. England, Scotland, and Wales C. Wales, Scotland, and Great Britain D. Great Britain, Wales, and Scotland (3). According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? . A Wales is the richest of the three B. Scotland is the largest of the three C. Sometimes English is used instead of Britain D. Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles (4). The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is ( ) A. part of Britain B. part of British Isles C. the official name of the whole country England D. the largest country of all mentioned in the passage (5). Which of the following is an independent country? A. B. Wales C. Scotland D. Northern IrelandThe Republic of Ireland 2. Summers with father were always enjoyable. Swimming, hiking, the days were not long enough to contain all of boating, fishing – our activities. There never seemed to be enough time to go church, which disturbed some friends and relations. Accused of neglecting this part of our education, my father accepted their criticism. He decided to institute a summer school for my brother and me. However, his summer course included ancient history, which Papa felt our schools neglected, and navigation, in which we first had a formal examination in the dining room, part of which consisted of tying several knots in a given time limit. Then we were each separately sent on what was grandly referred to as a cruise (巡游) in my father’s 18-foot knockabout. WE spent the night on board, and loaded down, according to my mother, with enough food for a week.

We walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn''t even lift her eyes from the book. Mum pointed at a chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down.

Mr. Harris used to work in Dover, but then he changed his work, and he and his wife moved to another town. They did not have many friends there, but they soon met a lot of interesting people, and after a few weeks, they often went to dinner or to parties at other people’s houses. Then Mrs. Harris said to her husband, “We’ve been to a lot of other people’s houses, and now we must invite them to our house, mustn’t we?” “Yes, certainly,” answered her husband, “A big party will be the easiest thing, won’t it? Then we can start to invite people to dinner in small numbers next month.” So Mrs. Harris said, “Yes, I’ll invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December.” “How many will that be?” Mr. Harris asked. “Don’t invite too many.” rs. Harris was beginning to write the invitations when her husband M saw that she was writing, “Party: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.” “That isn’t very nice, is it?” he said. “You’re telling our guests that they must go at 8:30.” So Mrs. Harris just wrote “Party: 6:30 p.m.” A lot of guests came, and they all had a good time, so they did not go home at 8:30. In fact they were still there at mid-night when the door bell rang and a policeman arrived.

Certainly no creature in the sea is odder than the common sea cucumber(海参). All living creatures, especially human beings, have their peculiarities, but everything about the little sea cucumber seems unusual. What else can be said about an odd animal that, among other eccentricities, eats mud, feeds almost continuously day and night but can live without eating for long periods, and can be poisonous but is considered supremely edible by gourmets(美食家), For some fifty million years, despite all eccentricities, the sea cucumber has subsisted on its diet of mud. It is adaptable enough to live attached to rocks by its tube feet, under rocks in shallow water, or on the surface of mud flats. Common in cool water on both Atlantic and Pacific shores, it has the ability to such up mud or sand and digest whatever nutrients are present. Sea cucumbers come in a variety of colors, ranging from black to reddish-brown to sand-color and nearly white. One form even has vivid purple tentacles. Usually the creatures are cucumber-shaped — hence their name — and because they are typically rock inhabitants, this shape, combined with flexibility, enables them to squeeze into narrow cracks where they are safe from predators and ocean currents. Although they have voracious appetites, eating day and night, sea cucumbers have the capacity to become inactive and live at a low metabolic rate — (ceding sparingly or not at all for long periods, so that the marine organisms that provide their food have a chance to multiply. If it were not for this faculty, they would devour all the food available in a short time and would probably starve themselves out of existence. But the most spectacular thing about the sea cucumber is the way it defends itself. Its major enemies are fish and crabs, when attacked, it squirts all its internal organs into the water. It also casts off attached structures such as tentacles. The sea cucumber will eviscerate( 排出内脏) and regenerate itself if it is attacked or even touched; it will do the same if the surrounding water temperature is too high or if the water becomes too polluted. The passage is mainly about ______. A. the reason for the sea cucumber'''' s name B. ways to identify the sea cucumber C. places where the sea cucumber can be found D. the peculiarities that make the sea cucumber unusual 10. Now she ( ) to do whatever she can for him. A. Makes B. Longs C. Waits D. takes 11. Upon ( ), please switch off the air-conditioner. A. apart B. department C. apartment D. departure 12.

A. could speak B. can speak C. spoke D. would speak 38. I came across an old country guide the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village in my part of the country, and it was impressive to see the great variety of services which were available on one'''' s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside. Nowadays a superficial traveller in rural England might conclude that the village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the inhabitants or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. Admittedly there has been a of village commerce, but its vigor is still contraction (收缩) remarkable. Our local grocer''''s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing (排队) up at a supermarket. And the proprietor (店主) knows well that personal service has a substantial cash value. His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling on the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old age pensioner (领养老金 ) who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The more affluent customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red-faced figure, instantly obtains it for them. The village gains from this sort of enterprise, of course. But I also find it satisfactory because a village shop offers one of the few ways in which a modest individualist can still get along in the world without attaching himself to the big battalions of industry or commerce. The writer implies that one disadvantage of town shops is that __. A. their prices are higher B. people cannot telephone them C. their staff may make less trouble to satisfy customers D. one has 10 queue up to pay in them 39. Great changes ( ) in China since 1978. A. have been taken place B. have taken place C. has been taken place D. has taken place 40. From time to time she looked round ( ) searching for someone. A. as to B. as C. as for D. as if 41. A man walked into a restaurant that advertised having the longest menu in the world. The manager was very proud of being able to provide any dish, no matter how unusual. At the bottom of the menu, there was a notice that said, “If you do not see the dish you require on this menu, please tell us and we will add it to the menu immediately.” The man looked at the menu and decided to make life really difficult for the manager and his chef. He would order something that was very unusual. When the waiter came up to take his order, he said, “You say you can serve any dish, anything at all, even if it''''s not on your menu, which is the longest menu in the world.” “That is correct, sir. We have never yet been unable to meet our customers'''' requirements.” “Very well,” the man said. “In that case, bring me two elephant ears on toast. Indian, not African.” The waiter wrote down on his pad:Two Indian elephant ears on toast. “Very good, sir”, he said. “That shouldn''''t take long. ” He walked away quickly. The man was very surprised and rather disappointed. Then he smiled as the waiter returned with a very unhappy look on his face. “Ah! ”the man said. “You can’t bring me elephant ears on toast, can you? ” The waiter was very apologetic. “I’m very sorry, sir, and this is most embarrassing, ” he said, “but I’m afraid we can’t. Unfortunately, we’ve run out of bread. ” the waiter was unhappy because _____ . A. the man didn''''t order elephant ears B. they had no elephant to cook C. they didn''''t want to serve the customer D. the chef didn''''t know how to cook the elephant ears 42.

And in the summer the hotels are full of holiday-makers and other tourists (游客). Last August there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel in Beldon. Next day, this news appeared on page two of the town''s newspaper. The Beldon Post. FIRE AT SEABREEZE LATE LAST NIGTH FIREMEN HURRIED TO THE Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom. The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire. We say again to all our visitors, "Please don''t smoke cigarettes in bed." This was Beldon''s first hotel fire for five years. ! "'' The Canfield Times gave the news in these words on page one: AOTHER BELDON HOTEL CATCHES FIRE Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and some furniture (家具) at the Seabreeze Hotel. An angry holiday-maker said, "An electric lamp probably started the fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some these hotels. When I put my bedside light on, I heard a funny noise from the lamp." We are glad to tell our readers that this sort of adventure does not happen in Canfield. What are the facts, then? It is never easy to find out the exact truth about an accident. There was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel 1 st August: that is one fact. Do we know anything else? Yes——we know that firemen went to the hotel.Now what do you think of the rest the "news"?(1).

The fire broke out in a bedroom at the hotel. b. A cigarette started the fire. c. An old lamp started the fire. d. The fire broke out at night. A. b and c B. a and d C. c and e D. a and c (3). The Canfield Times used the headline like this in order to make its readers think ( ) ? A. hotels in Beldon often catch fire B. hotels in Beldon don't often catch fire C. this was the second fire in the Seabreeze Hotel D. Beldon was a good place except that hotels there are not quite safe (4). The Canfield newspaper gave a report just the opposite to The Beldon Post by saying that ( ) ?

Many chemical pesticides(杀虫剂), such as DDT, are more dangerous to other animals than to the pests(害虫) themselves. However, there are safer methods used to control pests. One method is called biological pest control. It uses living things to control pest populations. For example, one type of biological pest control uses the natural enemy of a pest. The natural enemy eats the pest, or stops it from reproducing. For instance, aphids(蚜虫)that eat leaves are controlled using ladybird beetles(瓢虫).The ladybird beetle reduces aphids populations by eating the pest. Many natural chemicals from plants and animals are excellent pesticides. Some plants contain chemicals that taste bad, smell bad, or are even poisonous to pests. Scientists can collect these chemicals and spray them on other plants. Some pests produce their own chemicals that can also be used to control them. Many female insects give off chemicals to attract male. Scientists collect the chemical and use it to lure male insects. By killing male insects we may have fewer young insects. Pest control of any type can often be avoided if people use preventive methods. Many farmers prevent insects from becoming pests by changing the plants they grow ever year. Covering food and garbage can be reducing common pets such as flies. Thus many cases we can avoid problems by removing the food or shelter that pests like.(1). There are many ways to keep pests under control besides using ( ) A. synthetic chemicals B. natural chemicals C. synthetic fertilizers D. natural fertilizers (2). Smell is a type of ( ) chemical used by insects. A. communication B. pesticide C. herbicide D. agricultural (3). Why some natural chemicals from plants and animals are excellent pesticides? A. Some plants contain chemicals that are poisonous to pests. B. Some pests produce their own chemicals that can be used to control them. C. Scientists collect the chemical of female insects to lure male insects. D. All of the above. (4). The main idea for this passage is ( ) A. It is impossible to control pests without pesticides B. If people use precautionary methods to control pests, they do not need to use pesticides. C. Many farmers change plants each year D. Garbage and food in cities causes three major pest problems (5). Which is not mentioned in the passage? A. Compare and contrast different methods of controlling pets. B. Explain how pesticides work to kill pests. C. Describe how people can avoid using pesticides. D. Many chemical pesticides are dangerous 3. Hotlines have become common in China. Some radio broadcasting stations use hotlines to encourage the listeners to take part in the talk shows. That''s a good idea. Yet, the fact is, some people do nothing but break the whole programme. Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host (主持 人) is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express hope and show his ignorance (无知}. Then the host has to answer and explain——how silly this is! It wastes a lot of time. It seems that some people phone the hotlines in fun. They just want to let the listeners hear them. They don''t care what the topic is, whether they themselves are interested in or how silly they appear to be.I think that it''s necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programmes. In my opinion, if a caller doesn''t know what is going on, the operator should not let the callers take part in it.(1). The sentence "some people do nothing but break the whole programmes" may tell us that ( ). A. radio stations use hotlines in a wrong way B. it is a fact C. it is a good idea D. some people have unclear thoughts (2). According to the passage, which of the following is not true? A. Some people do not know what the host is talking about. B. Some people know little about the topic under discussion. C. Some people do not know what the show is about. D. The writer tells us that the host is silly. (3). The host has to answer and explain ( ). A. for the host works hard B. because of the caller's ignorance C. for the host likes talking to the caller D. because a lot of questions are raised by the caller (4). The passage doesn't tell us ( ). A. that some listeners phone the hotline in fun B. that some people just want to be heard by others C. that some people who don't care what the topic is realize that they appear to be silly D. what the hotlines programmes are (5). The underlined word "operator" in the last sentence refers to the ( ). A. Host B. Listener C. Doctor D. both A and B 4. The sense of sound is one of our most important means of knowing what is going on around us. Sound has a wasted product, too, in the form of noise. Noise has been called unwanted sound. Noise is growing and it may get much worse before it gets and better. Scientists, for several years, have been studying how noise affects people and animals. They are surprised by what they have learned. Peace and quiet are becoming harder to find. Noise pollution is a threat that should be looked at carefully. There is a saying about it being so noisy that you can’t hear yourself think. Doctors who study noise believe that we must sometimes hear ourselves think. If we don’t we may have headaches, other aches and pains, or even worse mental problems. Noise adds more tension(紧张) to society that already faces enough stress. But noise is not a new problem. In ancient Rome, people complained so much about noise that the government stopped chariots (四轮马车)from moving through he streets at night!Ways of making less noise are now being tested. There are even laws controlling noise. We cannot return to the “good old days” of peace and quiet. But we can reduce noise – if we shout loudly enough about it.(1). Why are scientists surprised by the findings in their noise study? A. Because the world is becoming more and more noisy. B. Because they have learned that noise is also a kind of pollution. C. Because noise is an unwanted waste for human beings. D. Because people knew little about the danger of noise before. (2). What may be the result if we cannot hear ourselves think? A. We may forget what we have thought about. B. Our thoughts may be interfered. C. Our mind may be harmed. D. WE may have difficulty using the right words. (3). When the writer says we cannot return to the good old days, he means that ( ).? A. our society is becoming much worse than before B. in our modern society it is hard to lead a quiet life C. the old days were much happier than the present time D. it is impossible for us to deal with noise as we did before (4). From the last sentence of the passage we can learn that ( ). A. we can put noise under control if our measures are effective B. sometimes we have to shout loudly so that others can hear us C. shouting is a chief cause of noise pollution D. it is important to warn people of the danger of noise pollution (5). Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage A. Only recently did people realize the harmfulness of noise. B. Noise pollution is the worst kind of pollution we suffer from. C. People are now trying to find ways to make noise as low as possible. D. The writer thinks that it is almost impossible for people to avoid noise. 答案: 一、单项选择题(60分，共 60 题，每小题 1 分) 1. B 2. D 3. A 4.

I was skinny (极瘦 的), I talked too loud, I was too proud (骄傲的), and so on. I put up with (忍受) her as long as I could. At last, I ran to my father in tears and anger. He listened to my outburst (爆发) quietly. Then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not?” True? I wanted to know how to strike back. What did truth have to do with it? “Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. You needn’t pay attention to the other things she said.” I did as he told me and discovered to my surprise that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being skinny), but a good number I could and suddenly wanted to change. For the first time in my life I began to get quite a clear picture of myself. I brought the list back to Daddy, but he wouldn’t take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anybody else the truth about yourself, once you hear it. But you’ve got to learn to listen, not close your ears in anger or hurt. When someone says something about you, you’ll know if it’s true or not. If it is, you’ll find it will echo (共鸣) inside you.” “I still don’t think it very nice of her to talk about me in front of everybody,” I said. “Mary, there is one way you could stop others talking about you ever again, and criticizing (批评) you just say nothing and do nothing. But then, if you do that, you’d find you were nothing. You wouldn’t like that now, would you?”“No,” I admitted (承认) (To be continued)(1).

A. about half the things her “enemy” said were not true B. most of the things her “enemy” said were true C. few of the things her “enemy” said were true D. none of the things her “enemy” said were true (3). The writer’s father thinks( ) A. if one says nothing and does nothing, people will praise him B. one should not do anything because others will talk about him C. it is not good to talk about others D. everyone is talked about by others (4).

One afternoon in April a year ago, I first saw the strange and appealing doll in the window of a toyshop. The shop was just around the corner from my office. I still remember how it was that day: the first sign of spring mixing with the soft coal smoke from the factories and the street smells of the poor neighborhood.As I turned the corner on my way to office, I once more looked at the poor collection of toys in the dusty window. And then I remembered the coming birthday of my small niece in Cleveland. For years I was in the habit of sending gifts to her. Therefore I stopped and examined the window to see if there might be anything appropriate. I looked at a red toy fire engine, some the collection of unappealing objects– lead soldiers, cheap baseballs, bottles of ink, pens, yellowed stationery (文具), and garish (俗气的) advertisements for soft-drink. And when I was about to leave because of disappointment, my eyes eventually came to the doll in one corner, a doll with the strangest, most charming expression on her face. I could not wholly make her out, due to the shadows, but I knew that a great impression had been made upon me.(1). What made an impression on the author? A. The doll’s unusual face. B. The collection of toys. C. A stranger he met at the store. D. The expressions of the doll to his niece. (2). Why does the author mention his niece? A. She likes dolls. B. The doll looks like her. C.

Winter is the last season of the year, and it is usually the season to sit down to look back what we have done in the year and make a wish to the next year. Some may complain that it is too cold in winter. However, we also know that it is this coldness that freeze the pests in the farmland and make a harvest next year possible. Thinking of this, I believe the coldness in winter is bearable. I also like the sight view of winter especially after a heavy snow. The world becomes so white, so soft that I feel satisfied and inner peace in this season. 解题方案: 评分标准: 格式5分， 内容15分，分为5档，分、5分、8分、11分及14分;2 分 „„条理不清，思路紊乱，语言支离破碎或在部分句子均有错误，且多数 为严重错误。5分„„基本切题。表达思想不清楚，连贯性差。有较多的严重 语言错误。8分„„基本切题。有些地方表达思想不够清楚，文字勉强连贯; 语言错误相当多，其中有一些是严重错误。11分„„切题。表达思想清楚，文 字连贯，但有少量语言错误。14分„„切题。表达思想清楚，文字通顺，连贯 性好。
