It is 1,510miles southwest of its nearest neighbor, St. Helena, and 1,950miles west of Africa. Discovered by the Portuguese admiral（葡萄牙海军上将）of the same name in 1506, and settled in 1810, the island belongs to Great Britain and has a population of a few hundred. Coming in a close second –- and often wrongly mentioned as the most distant land － is Easter Island, which lies 1,260 miles east of its nearest neighbor, Pitcairn Island, and 2,300 miles west of South America. The mountainous 64-square-mile island was settled around the 5th century, supposedly by people who were lost at sea. They had no connection with the outside world for more than a thousand years, giving them plenty of time to build more than 1,000 huge stone figures, called moai, for which the island is most famous. On Easter Sunday, 1772, however, settlers from Holland moved in and gave the island its name. Today, 2,000 people live on the Chilean territory （智利领土）. They share on street, a small airport, and a few hours of television per day. 56．It can be learned from the text that the island of Tristan da Cunha _____________. A．was named after its discoverer B．got its name from Holland settlers C．was named by the British government D．got its name from the Guinness Book of Records 57．Which of the following is most famous for moai? A．Tristan da Cunha. B．Pitcairn Island. C．Easter Island. D．St. Helena. 58．Which country does Easter Island belong? A．Britain. B．Holland. C．Portugal. D．Chile. B Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills（读写能力）. With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence（自信心）, according to Intermountain Therapy Animals（ITA）in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs （READ）. The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache,” said Lisa Myron, manager of the children’s department. Last November the two groups started “Dog Day Afternoon” in the children’s department of the main library. About 25children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a “pawgraphed” book at the last class. The program was so successful that the library plans to repeal it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager. 59．What is mainly discussed in the text? A．Children’s reading difficulties. B．Advantages of raising dogs. C．Service in public library D．A special reading program. 60．Specialists use dogs to listen to children reading because they think__________. A．dogs are young children’s best friends B．children can play with dogs while reading C．dogs can provide encouragement for shy children D．children and dogs understand each other 61．By saying “The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea”, the writer means the library ______________. A．uses dogs to attract children B．accepts the idea put forward by ITA C．has opened a children’s department D．has decided to train some dogs 62．A “pawgraphed” book is most probably _________. A．a book used in Saturday classes B．a book written by the children C．a prize for the children D．a gift from parents C Tales From Animal Hospital David Grant David Grant has become a familiar face to millions of fans of animal Hospital. Here Dr Grant tells us the very best of his personal stories about the animals he has treated, including familiar patients such as the dogs Snowy and Duchess, the delightful cat Marigold Serendipity Diamond. He also takes the reader behind the scenes at Harmsworth Memorial Animal Hospital as he describes his day, from ordinary medical check-ups to surgery（外科手术）. Tales from animal hospital will delight all fans of the programme and anyone who has a lively interest in their pet, whether it be cat, dog or snake! ￡14.99 Hardback 272pp Simon Schuster ISBN 0751304417 Isaac Newton: The Last Sorcerer Michael White From the author of Stephen Hawking: A Life in Science, comes this colourful description of the world’s first modern scientist. Interesting yet based on fact. Michael White’s learned yet readable new book offers a true picture of Newton completely different from what people commonly know about him. Newton is shown as a gifted scientist with very human weaknesses who stood at the point in history where magic（魔术）ended and science began. ￡18.99 Hardback 320pp Fourth Estate ISBN 1857024168 Fermat’s Last Theorem Simon Singh In 1963 a schoolboy called Andrew Wiles reading in his school library came across the world’s greatest mathematical problem; Fermat’s Theorem（定理）. First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat in the seventeenth century, the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds, including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem, and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecole Polytechnique. Through unbelievable determination Andrew Wiles finally worked out the problem in 1995. An unusual story of human effort over three centuries, Fermat’s Last Theorem will delight specialists and general readers alike. ￡12.99 Hardback 384pp Fourth Estate ISBN 1857025210 63．What is Animal Hospital?

C．To introduce new authors. D．To sell the books. D There is one foreign product the Japanese are buying faster than others, and its popularity has caused an uneasy feeling among many Japanese. That product is foreign words. Gairaigo－words that come from outside -- have been part of the Japanese language for centuries. Mostly borrowed from English and Chinese, these terms are often changed into forms no longer understood by native speakers. But in the last few years the trickle（涓涓细流）of foreign words has become a flood, and people fear the increasing use of foreign words is making it hard for the Japanese to understand each other and could lead to many people forgetting the good qualities of traditional（传统的）Japanese. “The popularity of foreign words is part of the Japanese interest in anything new,” says university lecturer and writer Takashi Saito. “By using a foreign word you can make a subject seem new, which makes it easier for the media（媒体）to pick up.” “Experts（专家）often study abroad and use English terms when they speak with people in their own fields. Those terms are then included in government white papers,” said Muturo Kai, president of the National Language Research Institute. “Foreign words find their way easily into announcements made to the general public, when they should really be explained in Japanese.” Against the flow of new words, many Japanese are turning back to the study of their own language. Saito’s Japanese to Be Read Aloud is one of many language books that are now flying off booksellers’ shelves. “We were expecting to sell the books to young people,” said the writer, “but it turns out they are more popular with the older generation, who seem uneasy about the future of Japanese.” 68．What advantages do foreign words have over traditional Japanese terms? A．The ideas expressed in foreign words sound new. B．Foreign words are best suited for announcements. C．Foreign words make new subjects easier to understand. D．The use of foreign words makes the media more popular. 69．In the opinion of Takashi Saito, Japanese people_________________. A．are good at learning foreign languages B．are willing to learn about new things C．trust the media D．respect experts 70．Which of the following plays an important part in the spread of foreign words? A．The media and government papers B．Best-selling Japanese textbooks. C．The interest of young Japanese. D．Foreign products and experts. 71．The book Japanese to Be Read Aloud ______________. A．sells very well in Japan B．is supported by the government C．is questioned by the old generation D．causes misunderstanding among the readers E At one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents（文件）because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper. It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of Internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start working overtime. “I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down,” says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organisation. Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just a one-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer. As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers Does all this mean environmental concerns （环境问题） have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away. “ I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling （回收利用） ,”said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity. The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste. 72. The growing demand for paper in recent years is largely due to ___________. A. the rapid development of small businesses B. the opening up of new markets C. the printing of high quality copies D. the increased use of the Internet 73. Environmentalists believe one possible way of dealing with the paper situation is ______. A. to encourage printing more quality documents B. to develop new printers using recycled paper C. to find new materials for making paper D. to plant more fast-growing trees 74. Hewlett-Packard Co. has decided to develop new technologies because ___________. A. people are concerned about the environment B. printers in many offices are working overtime C. small companies need more hard copies D. they see a growing market for printers 75. What would be the best title for the text? A. Computers and Printers B. E-mail and the Business World C. Internet Revolution and Environment D. Modern Technology and New Markets 第二卷（共35分） 注意事项： 1．第二卷共4页，用钢笔或圆珠笔直接答在试卷上。 2．答卷前将密封线内的项目填写清楚。 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。对标有题号的每一行作出判断：如无错误，在该行右边横线上画一个勾（√）；如有错误（每行只有一个错误），则按下列情况改正： 此行多一个词：把多余的词用斜线（＼）划掉，在该行右边横线上写出该词，并也用斜线划掉。 此行缺一个词：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），在该行右边横线上写出该加的词。 此行错一个词：在错的词下划一横线，在该行右边横线上写出改正后的词。 注意：原行没有错的不要改。 When I first learned to write in English, I ran into many 76. _______________ difficulties.
