早产儿低血糖性脑损伤早产儿低血糖是早产儿管理中的常见问题，其严重后果可以导致脑损伤。

足月新生儿延迟喂养3—6小时有10%会发生低血糖，早产儿特别是出生时窒息、低出生体重、小于胎龄儿或大于胎龄儿的早产儿风险更大。

早产儿由于糖原储备少，出生早期参与糖异生和糖原分解的葡萄糖6磷酸酶活性差，对各种升血糖的激素不敏感，使得早产儿比足月儿更容易发生低血糖。

虽然低血糖脑损伤与缺血缺氧性脑病的发病机理相似。

但在代谢特点、脑组织影像学、脑电图和组织病理学上有其特点。

由于早产儿低血糖经常与围产期其他导致脑损伤的因素同时发生，如出生时重度窒息时，更关注缺氧缺血造成的脑损害而忽略了低血糖性的脑损伤。

一、早产儿低血糖的定义20世纪70年代初期，曾经认为早产儿未成熟的脑组织比成熟的脑组织对低血糖有较好的耐受性，而且低血糖的早产儿一般临床上表现无症状，所以将早产儿低血糖的标准定为20mg/L。

但当时这种标准的确定缺乏详细的临床检查和追踪随诊。

近些年来，有人经腹脐带穿刺测定胎儿脐静脉的血糖水平，资料显示健康正常的胎儿脐静脉的血糖浓度在72--90mg/ml（4—5mmol/L）。

妊娠早期母亲—胎儿间血糖的梯度较小，妊娠晚期胎儿血糖水平是母体血糖水平的80%--90%。

基于上述资料，建议理想的早产儿血糖水平应维持在72--90 mg/ml（4—5mmol/L），这也是我们治疗的目标。

当然治疗的目标不应和诊断标准混淆。

传统上，希望用一个阈值来定义早产儿的低血糖，一般的定义是在健康人群统计数值中，小于两个标准差以下定义为低值。

但值得注意的是虽然当血糖降低时，可能增加了机能损害的风险，但没有一个阈值能适合所有的早产儿。

健康足月新生儿的阈值低于儿童和成年人。

早产儿低血糖的阈值与胎龄有关，胎龄越大的对低血糖的适应能力越好。

其它影响因素包括生后日龄，生理状况（如进食等），母乳或人工喂养，技术因素包括血糖测定是用全血还是血浆，试纸的可靠性等，以往的研究中采用不同的方法有不同的结果。

There are 20% more heart attacks on Mondays than on any other day.Heart disease is Britain’s biggest killer. Around 270,000 people suffer a heart attack every year and nearly one in three die before they even reach hospital.High blood pressure, or hypertension, 42 one in five people in the UK and is a major risk 43 for heart disease. The higher it climbs, the greater the force exerted(施加) by blood on the walls of the arteries（动脉）when the heart beats.To see how it changed over the course of a week, researchers from Tokyo Women’s Medical University in Japan, fitted 175 men and women with a device that would measure their blood pressure round-the-clock. A week later, the volunteers returned the devices so that researchers could 44 how blood pressure had changed.The results, published in the American Journal of Hypertension, showed a surge(振荡) in readings in those getting ready to go back to work on a Monday morning.

At an early age I could make things go my way with just a few small changes. The writers for today’s hottest soap opera could not have created a 50 character than me.I don’t know how long it took me to realize how I was 51 so many others. Not only did I succeed in52 many of my closest friends by trying to control them; I also managed to destroy the most 53 relationship in my life: my relationship with my mother.My mother, who gave birth to me at age 54 her doctor’s wishes, would cry to me, ―I waited so long for you. Don’t ignore my help!‖ I would reply 55 , ―I never wanted you to care about me! Leave me alone and forget I ever lived!‖My mother began to believe I really 56 it. Like many young girls in high school, the boys who I knew were 57 were always the first ones I had to date. I would try to find any way to draw attention to myself while at the same time trying to be 58 . I had also been heavy into drugs then to change my personality. And my only pleasure was to make people feel 59 .But then I asked myself why. Why the need to hurt? Why the attacks on my mother? I would drive myself mad with all the whys until one day I couldn’t 60 it any longer and jump from a car moving at 80 miles per hour.Lying awake the following night at the hospital, I saw my mother’s pained face, tired brown eyes filled with nothing but thanks for her daughter’s rebirth of life.61 all the horrible things I did to her, she still loved me. I cried and asked why. She just looked down at me and said frankly, ―Because you are my daughter.‖62 love is the most precious gift we can give.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Children in Bosnia-Herzegovina all know the ancient story of the poor woman who caught a golden fish, released it, and in return gained wealth and happiness. According to a 1998 Associated Press story, this Balkan fairy tale turned into reality for one poor family. Before the start of the Bosnian war, the Malkoc family lived next to a small lake in the northwestern village of Jezero. One day in 1990, Smajo Malkoc returned from a trip to Austria with an unusual gift for his teenage sons, Dzevad and Catib: an aquarium(鱼缸) with two goldfish. Two years passed before Bosnian Serb forces advanced on Jezero.The women and children fled, and the men stayed back to resist the attacking soldiers. Smajo Malkoc was killed. When his wife, Fehima, sneaked back into the destroyed village to bury her husband and rescue what remained of their belongings, she took pity on the fish in the aquarium. She let them out into the nearby lake, saying to herself, ―This way, they might be more fortunate than us.‖ Fast-forward to 1995, Fehima Malkoc returned with her sons to Jezero. Nothing but ruins remained of their home and their village. Through misty eyes she looked toward the lake. Glimpsing something strange, she walked over to the shore. ―The whole lake was shining from the thousands of go lden fish in it,‖ she said. ―It made me immediately think of my husband. This was something he left me that I never hoped for.‖During the years of killing all around the lake, life underwater had flourished. After their return, Fehima Malkoc and her sons started caring for and selling the goldfish. By 1998, homes, stores, and coffee shops all over the region feature aquariums containing fish from Jezero. The Malkoc house, rebuilt on its original site, is one of the biggest in the village. Two new cars are parked in front, and the family says it has enough money to quit worrying about the future. ―It was a special kind of gift from our father,‖ Dzevad Malkoc said. Whenever one gives, one can never underestimate what a gift of love or an act of kindness might produce.65. Why did the woman let the fish out into the lake?A .She thought of the fairy tale. B. She did so in memory of her husband.C. She showed mercy to them.D. She intended to get reward from them.66. What is the correct order of the following events according to the passage?a.

A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy(认知心理疗法) in Gothenburg suggests a link between the attitudes of women abused by their parents and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who identified with Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to say in destructive relationships as adults.The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed 67 female abuse survivors and found that 61 put up with serial abuse because they believed they could change their partners and with patience, composition and love. Hardly any of the women in a control group, who had not experienced abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way.The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. These women and men said they would leave a relationship rather than put up with abuse from a partner. Ms Darker Smith found the abused women were much more likely to identify with Cinderella and other submissive female characters in fairytales, who were later rescued by a stranger prince or hero.Although most girls heard the stories, damage appeared to be done to those who adopted the submissive characters as role models. ―They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their parents’ behaviors, she said.‖Overexposure in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women believe they can damage their partners.‖For example, they might never have understood the obvious flaw(缺点) in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. ―The question,‖ said Ms Darker Smith, ―is why she did not break the door down herself.‖72. The passage is especially intended for _________.A. parents with young daughtersB. girls who like reading fairy storiesC. girls who think they can change their partnersD. parents with grown-up daughters73. Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast are similar in that _________.A. they all married some princesB. they all changed their partners with love上海市奉贤区2009—2010学年度高三第一学期期终调研英语试题 - 7 -C. they were all abused by their partnersD. they all put up with abuse74. Which of the following statements is true of the women in a control group?A. They don ’t believe in fairy tales.B. They don ’t believe in the transformational qualities of love.C. They have also experienced abuse.D. They survived abuse.75. What does the underlined word ―submissive ‖ in the 3rd paragraph probably mean?A. kind-heartedB. obedientC. gentleD. easy-goingSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.76.Every living thing has what scientists call a biological clock that controls behavior. The biological clock tells plants when to form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tells insects when to leave the protective cocoon and fly away, and it tells animals and human beings when to eat, sleep and wake.77.Events outside the plant and animal affect the actions of some biological clock. Scientists recently found, for example, that a tiny animal changes the color of its fur because of the number of hours of daylight. In the short days of winter, its fur becomes white. The fur becomes gray brown in color in the longer hours of daylight in summer.78.Inner signals control other biological clocks. German scientists found that some kind of internal clock seems to order birds to begin their long migration flight twice each year. Birds prevented from flying become restless when it is time for the trip. But they become calm again when the time of flight has ended.79.Scientist say they are beginning to learn which parts of the brain contain biological clock. An American researcher, Martin Moorhead, said a small group of cells near the front of the brain seems to control the timing of some of our actions. These cells tell a person when to awake, when to sleep and when to seek food. Scientists say there probably are other biological clock cells that control other body activities.80.Dr. Moorhead is studying how our biological clocks affect the way we do our work. For example, most of us A. Out-of-Body Factors on Biological Clocks B. Brain Cells Controlling Biological Clocks C. Biological Clocks Controlling Birds Flying D. Benefits Studying Biological Clocks E. Inside-Body Factors on Biological Clocks F. Biological Clocks Controlling Activities上海市奉贤区2009—2010学年度高三第一学期期终调研英语试题- 8 -have great difficulty if we often change to different work hours. It can take many days for a human body to accept the major change in work hours. Dr. Moorhead said industrials officials should have a better understanding of biological clocks and how they affect workers. He said such understanding could cut sickness and accidents at work and would help increase a factory’s production.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions and complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Booklovers, most of them, will tell you what a pleasure it is to lend a favorite read to a friend – the novel you stayed up all night to get to the end of; the travel book that made you feel as if you yourself were on a train ride through India. For a while it seemed that e-book users were to be denied this pleasure of lending to friends. You could buy a book or magazine for your reading device, but you couldn’t lend it out.But now, with the Nook, the US book chain Barnes and Noble’s response to Amazon’s Kindle, electronic readers will be able to press their latest literary enthusiasm on their friends, just like readers of physical books can. You simply email the book from your Nook and your friend can read it for two weeks, using any device with the Barnes & Noble e-book reader software. It’s a big improvement from previous e-book readers.The Nook offers other features too. You read in black and white on the main screen, just like with Kindle. The difference is that on the lower part of the device there’s a color touch screen. It allows you to browse through a book or mag azine, but goes black when you’re not using it so that you save power.Another exciting thing about the Nook is that it offers Wi-Fi (无线上网服务), arguably a big advance on previous e-book readers. Customers in the United States can use the Internet connection to read whole e-books at Barnes and Noble’s hundreds of bookstores for free. None of Barnes and Noble’s competitors can come close to this.But the Nook, ironically, might just turn out to be a money-loser for Barnes and Noble, or at least a job-loser for Barnes and Noble’s employees. According to Marian Maneker at The Big Money Website, if the Nook is successful it might take sales from the company’s bookstores, eventually forcing their closure and the loss of thousands of jobs.81. What do booklovers take pleasure in, according to the passage?.82. According to Paragraph 2, your friend will be able to withthe Nook.83. According to the passage, the three new features of the Nook are: lending books to your friends, a color touchscreen and in Barnes and Noble’s stores.84. What might happen to Barnes and Noble’s bookstores if the Nook is successful?.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.According to the latest research in the United States of America, men and women talk such different languages that it is like people from two different cultures trying to 41 . Professor Deborah Tannen of Georgetown University, has noticed the difference in the style of boy’s and girl’s conversations from an early age. She says that little girls’conversation is less 42 than boys’ and expresses more doubts. Little boys use conversation to 43 status with their listeners.These differences continue into adult life, she says. In 44 conversations, men talk most and interrupt other speakers more. In private conversations, men and women speak in 45 amounts—although they say things in a different style. Professor Tannen believes that, for woman, private talking is a way to establish and test intimacy(亲切感). For men, private talking is a way to explore the power 46 of a relationship.Teaching is one job where the differences between men’s and women’s ways of talking show. When a man teaches a woman, says Professor Tannen, he wants to show that he has more knowledge, and hence more power in conversation. When a woman teaches another woman, however, she is more likely to take a sharing 47 and to encourage her student to join in.But Professor Tannen does not believe that women are naturally more helpful. She says women feel they 48 power by being able to help others. Although the research suggests men talk and interrupt people more than women, Professor Tannen says, women actually encourage this to happen because they believe it will lead to more intimacy and help to establish a relationship.Some scientists who are studying speech think that the brain is preprogrammed for language.As we are usually taught to speak by women, it seems likely that the brain must have a sexual tendency in its 49 , otherwise male speech patterns would not arise at all.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.We all laugh. We all hurt. We all make mistakes. We all dream, that’s life. It’s a journey.

The findings, published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, build on evidence that a ―positive emotional style‖ can help 55 the common cold and other illnesses.Researchers believe the reasons may be both objective as in happiness increasing immune(免疫的) function and subjective as in happy people being less 56 by a scratchy throat or runny nose. ―People with a positive emotional style may have different immune 57 to the virus,‖explained the lead study author Dr Sheldon Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. ―And when they do get a cold, they may 58 thei r illness as being less severe.‖Cohen and his colleagues had found in a 59 study that happier people seemed less likely to catch a cold, but some questions remained as to whether the emotional tendency itself had the effect.For the new study, the researchers had 193 healthy adults with complete standard measures of personality tendency, health-consciousness and emotional ―style‖. Those who 60 be happy, energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive emotional style, 61 those who were often unhappy, tense and unfriendly had a negative style. The researchers gave them drops through their noses 62 either a cold virus or a particular flu virus. Over the next six days, the 63 reported on any aches, pains, sneezing they had, while the researchers collected 64 data, like daily mucus(黏液) production. Cohen and his colleagues found that based on objective measures of nasal woes(鼻部的不适), happy people were less likely to develop a cold.50. A. Living B. Staying C. Pulling D. Surviving51.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C or D. Choose the one that suits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）I needed to buy a digital camera, one that was simply good at taking good snaps (快照), maybe occasionally for magazines. Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy! I pointed at it and asked an assistant, ―Can I have one of those?‖He looked perturbed (不安). ―Do you want to try it first?‖ he said. It didn’t quite sound like a question. ―Do I need to?‖ I replied, ―There is nothing wrong with it?‖ This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel bad. ―No, no. But you should try it, ‖ he said encouragingly. ―Compare it with the others. ‖I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly R into account at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincere man. So I let him take out of my chosen camera from cupboard, showhow it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well.Why do we think that new options(选择) still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.65. The shop assistant insisted that the writer should ________.A. try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it.B. compare the camera he had chosen with the others.C. get more information about different companies.D. trust him and stop asking questions.66. What does the writer mean by ―it would be worth half what I paid for it ‖(paragraph 2)?A. He should get a 50% discount.B. The price of the camera was unreasonably high.C. The quality of the camera was not good.D. The camera would soon fall in value.67. The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he ________.A. knew very little about itB. didn’t trust the shop assistantC. wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the bestD. had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers68. I t can be inferred from the passage that in the writer’s opinion, ________.A. people waste too much money on camerasB. cameras have become an important part of our daily lifeC. we don’t actually need so many choices when buying a productD. famous companies care more about profit than quality69. You can choose 12 months’ Airport Angel membership, if you________.A. deposit at least $60,000 within 90 days of account openingB. have qualified for the serviceC. deposit an equal amount of money within 90 daysD. open a Premier account on 30 April70.

It is certain that you can deal with your banking in 24 hours.(C)On the west side of the island of Manhattan in New Y ork City, tree by tree, leaf by leaf, a 2,500 square foot sector of the Central African Republic’s Dzanga Ndoki Rainforest has been transported to, or recreated at, the Ame rican Museum of Natural History’s new hall of biodiversity(生物多样性). When the hall opens this May, visit ors will visit one of the world’s biggest and most accurate reproductions of one of nature’s most threatened creations.To bring the rainforest to New Y ork, a team of nearly two dozen scientists—the largest collecting expedition the museum has ever organized for an exhibit—spent five weeks in the African rainforest collecting soil, plants, and leaves; recording and documenting species; studyingtrees; shooting videotape and still photos; and interviewing local people. ―This area has been explored very little‖, says Hoel Cracraft who estimates that the museum will eventually collect 150 to 180 mammals, more than 300 species of birds, hundreds of butterflies, and hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of organisms. The exhibition may even have produced a special prize—scientists suspect they have uncovered several new species.To give the forest a sense of realness, the back wall of the exhibit is an enormous video screen, sounds will come out from hidden speakers, and plans even call for forest smells. Computer controls will vary the effects so that no two walkthroughs will ever be exactly the same.After the team returned to New Y ork, the forest was reproduced with the help of the computer. Computer modeling programmes plotted distances and special relationships. Artists studied photos and brought what they saw to life. Plaster trees were made．Recreated animals began to stand in the rainforest of the hall．Flying creatures will hang from the ceiling. The light in the forest, one of the exhibit’s cleverest recreations will seem real. Long tube lights will have the correct colour and temperature to produce a natural effect. The plants and animals exhibited throughout the hall exist naturally in a perfect balance remove one, and the whole is imperfect if not endangered. The exhibit is p roof to the hope that the world’s rainforests will never exist solely as a carefully preserved artifact.72. How did the museum collect the data in the Central African Republic?A. It sent a large team of scientists there.B. It cooperated with many African scientists.C. It hired local people to collect mammals, etc.D. It sent cameramen to shoot videotapes.73. To give the forest a sense of realness, all the following are used EXCEPT that _______.A. hidden loudspeakers are used to produce forest soundB. a huge video screen is put up on the back wallC. special equipment is employed to produce forest smellsD. the forest is surrounded by front and back walls74. What is the main theme of the last paragraph?A. The layout of the rainforest exhibition.B. The balance between animals and plants.C. The clever design of lighting.D. Preservation of the rainforest exhibition as an artifact.75. What is this passage mainly about?A. The history of the American Museum of Natural History.B. The reproduction of the rainforest at a New Y ork museum.C. V isitors ’ interest in the rainforest reproduction at a New Y ork museum.D. Saving rainforests in the Central African Republic.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.76.Last Tuesday, I came home from school hot, tired, and starving. I had been through a very tiring day, and all I wanted to do was eat. I opened the refrigerator door and searched for something eatable. Luckily, I chanced to find a piece of leftover pizza from the night before. I put it onto a plate and popped it into my microwave oven. Presto! In less than two minutes, my pizza slice was ready for me to bite into. This modern-day invention, the microwave oven, should be considered one of the “wonders of the world ”because it is unbeatable as a food, money, and time saver. 77.As a food saver, a microwave oven is definitely hard to beat. Almost any kind of leftover can be reheated in this type of oven, and used properly there is no worry of the food drying out. For example, spaghetti is a mess to try to reheat on top of the stove. It dries out terribly and will stick to the bottom and sides of a saucepan. The spaghetti will also scorch(烧焦) easily if one is not careful. But with a microwave oven, this is a different story with a happier ending. The spaghetti will remain saucy, will not stick, and will not scorch. The Italian food will be as good as it was the78.Another “wonder ”about the microwave oven isthe money that it saves. Leftovers that would normally be thrown out can be saved and reheated. This saves food; thus, it saves money. 79.Best of all, however, is the time that a microwave oven can save. As a general rule, microwave cooking takes one-third the time that a conventional oven does. Imagine what a delight this would be after a tiring day at work, school, or, better yet, shopping! For instance, to bake a medium-sized potato takes only eight to ten minutes in a microwave oven. So in the time it would take to fry up a hamburger, one could have a hot baked potato to go with it. In addition to speedy cooking, a microwave is wonderful for defrosting (解冻) meat. On low power this oven can defrost any kind of meat in less than fifteen minutes. This is a real lifesaver when company drops80.Indeed, microwave ovens should be considered one of the modern wonders of the world. I know that it was a wonder for me last Tuesday. That slice of day-old pizza made me feel like a new man!Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.The scientists observed that the more junk food the rats ate, the more they wanted to eat – a behavior very similar to that of rats addicted(上了瘾的) to heroin, a dangerous drug. Johnson said the experiment shows that the brain chemistry of obesity(肥胖) and drug addiction may be quite similar.In their experiment, Johnson and his team studied the ―pleasure center‖ of rats’ brains. The pleasure center is a complicated network of nerve cells. If the animal exercises or eats, the cells reward the animal by releasing chemicals into the body that make it feel good. And when the body feels good, the animal – or person – will want to do the behavior again.For the experiment, Johnson fed foods like cheesecake to one group of rats. Food like this is high in calories and fat. Another group of rats got a regular diet. The rats that ate junk food started to eat more and more.―They’re taking in twice the amount of calories as the control rats,‖ says Paul Kenny, one of Johnson’s colleagues.Kenny and Johnson wanted to know what was going on in the brains of these rats. They first design ed a way to deliver a small electrical charge to the rats’ brains. This electr ical charge would stimulate the pleasure centers to release pleasure-causing chemicals. The rats could control how much stimulation – and how much pleasure – they received by running on a wheel. The more the rat ran, the more pleasure it received.The rats that had been eating junk food started running more and more. This behaviorsuggested that the junk-food-eating rats needed more brain stimulation to feel good compared with rats on a normal diet. In other words, their pleasure centers were becoming less sensitive and the junk food didn’t make them feel good unless they ate more and more.Experiments like this one could help scientists understand how chemicals in the brain contribute to obesity. With that information, they may be able to help people avoid obesity in the first place.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. The scientists suggested it was actually ___________________ that made the rats feel good.82. According to the scientists, the reason why rats wanted to eat more and more junk food wasthat ___________________.83. How did the scientist know what was happening in the brains of the junk-food-eating rats?84. What was the purpose of the experiment mentioned in the article?第Ⅱ卷（共45分）Ⅰ.

2009年上海市高考英语试卷分析城桥中学高春雷一．听力部分6月8日下午，我收听了广播的英语听力部分，当时听下来总体上觉得收听效果很清楚，难度也比平时模拟练习要低一些。

后来我从网上又认认真真地听了一遍，现作如下详细分析。

短对话部分和以往没有太大的变化，仍以考察捕捉信息为主，例如第一题中说到“The line is busy”, 另一人则说“Why not order through theInternet”, 这时的关键信息Internet与选项C中的online正好吻合；第二，三两题是听力短对话中的常见提问“what king of person” 以及“where”，这两题需抓住几个关键词“race”, “finishing line”, “mail”,“delivery”等词。

第四，九题则更多考察对个别句子的理解。

比如“It’s up to you”, “forget about it if it doesn’t clear up”. 第五题是需一点逻辑推断的，说到“I was about to take a shower when the telephone rang”, 那么再联系“the floor is wet”, 可以推出没关水就去接电话了。

第六题则更侧重语气，“You can’t be serious！”, 体现了不顾考试去参加party是荒唐的。

第七题也出得比较巧妙，几个干扰项似乎都提到了，但其中的D项只是音似，“lawyer”与“loyal”容易混淆, 在剩余的三项中要选定正确答案，则必须听懂整个对话的来龙去脉---打算参观loyal garden，而这是在leaflet上被推荐的。

第八题是偏向于虚拟语气的测试，“You should have come earlier.”很多学生认为短对话只有一遍录音，处理起来有难度,而且从平时学生练习的反馈情况看，的确是失分较多的部分。

但是鉴于正式高考中录音速度较慢，音质比较清楚，题目考察形式直接，所以只要学生能够迅速进入听力状态，这些题应该是可以做对的。

Instead both menopened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street. It was hard to make money frombooks, which made the competition between them worse.Then Richard married a mysterious girl. The couple spent their honeymoon on the coast—but Richard never came back. The police found his wallet on a deserted beach but the body was neverfound. He must have drowned.Now with only one bookshop in town, business was better for George. But sometimes he satin his narrow, old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window, thinking about his formal rival(竞争5对手). Perhaps he missed him?George was very interested in old dictionaries. He‘d recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare first edition. When the parcel arrived, the book was in perfect condition andGeorge was delighted. But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in thenewspaper that the book had been wrapped in. He was astonished—the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable! Trembling, George started reading.―Bookends have bought ten bookstores from their rivals Dylans. The company, owned by multi-millionaire Richard Pike, is now the largest bookseller in Australia.‖65. George and Richard were ______ at school.A. roommatesB. good friendsC. competitorsD. booksellers66. How did George feel about Richard after his disappearance?A. He envied Richard‘s marriage.B.

George established a successful business while Richard was missing.D. Richard became a millionaire while George had no great success.(B)Horse-drawn sleigh rides Dogsledding SnowmobilingWelcome to Banff, Canada‘s first, most famous and arguably most fascinating national park. Ifyou‘ve come to ski or snowboard, we‘ll see you on the slopes. Skiing is a locals‘ favorite too.While you‘re here, try other recreational activities available in our mountains. Popularchoices include a Banff Gondola ride up Sulphur Mountain, bathe in the natural mineral waters atthe Upper Hot Spring, horse-drawn sleigh ride, drive-your-own-team dog sled excursion, andsnowmobile tour to the highland (but not in the national park).We also recommend you make time to enjoy simple pleasure. After looking around BanffAve shops, walk a couple of blocks west or south to the scenic Bow River.6Try ice skating on frozen Lake Louise where Ice Magic International Ice SculptureCompetition works are displayed after Jan 25. You can rent skates in Banff or at the sport shop inthe Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise hotel.Banff‘s backcountry paths access a wilderness world of silence and matchless beauty—crosscountry skis and snowshoes provide the means. Banff sport shops rent equipment and clothes, orjoin an organized tour. Although we‘ve been many times, we still find the cliffs and icefalls of ourfrozen canyons worth visiting.Wildlife watching also creates satisfying memories. We have seen hundreds of the elk andbighorn sheep that attract visitors, yet they still arouse a sense of wonder. And the rare spotting ofa cougar, wolf or woodland caribou takes our breath away.See if simple pleasures work for you. Fight in the snow with your kids, walk beside a streamor climb to a high place and admire the view.—Banff Resort Guide Editors69. According to the passage, Banff‘s backcountry is accessible by _____.A. cross country skiingB. horse-drawn sleigh ridingC. snowmobilingD. dogsledding 70. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Dogsledding is the most popular sport among local people.B. Watching wildlife is a memorable experience.C.

The purpose of the writing is to ______.A. promote scenic spots in CanadaB. advertise for the sports in BanffC. introduce tourist activities in BanffD. describe breathtaking views in Banff(C)―Get your hands off me, I have been stolen,‖ the laptop, a portable computer, shouted. That is a new solution to laptop computer theft: a program that lets owners give their property a voice when it has been taken.The program allows users to display alerts on the missingcomputer‘s screen and even to set aspoken message. Tracking software for stolen laptops has been on the market for some time, butthis is thought to be the first that allows owners to give the thief a piece of their mind.Owners must report their laptop missing by logging on to a website, which sends a messageto the model: a red and yellow ―lost or stolen‖ banner pops up on its screen when it is started.Under the latest version(版本) of the software, users can also send a spoken message.The message can be set to reappear every 30 seconds, no matter how many times the thiefcloses it. ―One customer sent a message saying, ?You are being tracked. I am right at your door‘,‖said Carrie Hafeman, chief executive of the company which produces the program, Retriever.In the latest version, people can add a spoken message. The default through the computer‘sspeakers is: ―Help, this laptop is reported lost or stolen. If you are not my owner, please report menow.‖7The Retriever software package, which costs $29.95 (￡21) but has a free trial period, has thefunctions of many security software programs. Owners can remotely switch to an alternativepassword prompt if they fear that the thief has also got hold of the access details.If a thief accesses the internet with the stolen laptop, Retriever will collect information on theinternet service provider in use, so that the police can be alerted to its location.Thousands of laptops are stolen every year from homes and offices, but with the use oflaptops increasing, the number stolen while their owners are out and about has been rising sharply.Other security software allows users to erase data remotely or lock down the computer.72. The expression ―to give the thief a piece of their mind‖ can be understood as ―_______‖.A. to give the thief an alert mindB. to express the owners‘ anger to the thiefC. to remind the thief of his conscienceD. to make the thief give up his mind73. Different from other security software, Retriever can ______.A. record the stealing processB. help recognize the lost laptopC. lock down the computer remotelyD. send a spoken message74. One function of the program is that it allows the owner to______ at a distance.A. change some access details for switching on the laptopB. turn on the laptop by using the original passwordC. operate the laptop by means of an alternative passwordD. erase the information kept in the stolen laptop75. Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of the passage?A. With no Retriever, thousands of laptops are stolen every year.B. A new software provides a means to reduce laptop theft.C. Retriever has helped to find thieves and lost computers.D. A new program offers a communication platform with the thief.(D)The latest research suggests a more prosaic, democratic, even puritanical view of the world.The key factor separating geniuses from the merely accomplished is not a divine spark. It‘s notI.Q., a generally bad predictor of success, even in realms like chess. Instead, it‘s deliberate practice. Top performers spend more hours (many more hours) rigorously practicing their craft. If you wanted to picture how a typical genius might develop, you‘d take a girl who possessed aslightly above average verbal ability. It wouldn‘t have to be a big talent, just enough so that shemight gain some sense of distinction. Then you would want her to meet, say, a novelist, whocoincidentally shared some similar biographical traits. Maybe the writer was from the same town,had the same ethnic background, or, shared the same birthday.This contact would give the girl a vision of her future self. It would give her some idea of afascinating circle she might someday join. It would also help if one of her parents died when shewas 12, giving her a strong sense of insecurity and fueling a desperate need for success. Armedwith this ambition, she would read novels and life stories ofwriters without end. This would giveher a primary knowledge of her field. She‘d be able to see new writing in deeper ways and quickly perceive its inner workings.8Then she would practice writing. Her practice would be slow, painstaking and error-focused.By practicing in this way, she delays the automatizing process. Her mind wants to turn conscious,newly learned skills into unconscious, automatically performed skills. By practicing slowly, bybreaking skills down into tiny parts and repeating, she forces the brain to internalize a betterpattern of performance. Then she would find an adviser who would provide a constant stream offeedback, viewing her performance from the outside, correcting the smallest errors, pushing her totake on tougher challenges. By now she is redoing problems—how do I get characters into aroom—dozens and dozens of times. She is establishing habits of thought she can call upon inorder to understand or solve future problems.The primary trait she possesses is not some mysterious genius. It‘s the ability to develop apurposeful, laborious and boring practice routine. The latest research takes some of the magic outof great achievement. But it underlines a fact that is often neglected. Public discussion is affectedby genetics and what we‘re ―hard-wired‖ to do. And it‘s truethat genes play a role in our capabilities. But the brain is also very plastic. We construct ourselves through behavior.76. The passage mainly deals with _____.A. the function of I.Q. in cultivating a writerB. the relationship between genius and successC. the decisive factor in making a geniusD. the way of gaining some sense of distinction77. By reading novels and writers‘ stories, the girl could ______.A. come to understand the inner structure of writingB. join a fascinating circle of writers somedayC. share with a novelist her likes and dislikesD. learn from the living examples to establish a sense of security78. In the girl‘s long painstaking training process, _____.A. her adviser forms a primary challenging force to her successB. her writing turns into an automatic pattern of performanceC. she acquires the magic of some great achievementsD. she comes to realize she is ―hard-wired‖ to write 79. What can be concluded from the passage?A. A fuelling ambition play s a leading role in one‘s success.B. A responsible adviser is more important than the knowledge of writing.C. As to the growth of a genius, I.Q. doesn‘t matter, but justhis/her efforts. D. What really matters is what you do rather than who you are.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for eachparagraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Varieties of college dictionariesB. Accessing dictionaries electronicallyC. Elements under a word itemD. Complete editions of dictionariesE. Using dictionaries for particular fieldsF. Features of college dictionaries980.You‘re probably most familiar with college dictionaries, often called abridged dictionaries.Although abridged mea ns ―shortened‖, these dictionaries contain more than 150,000 entries and provide detailed definitions that are sufficient for most college students and general users. College dictionaries also contain separate lists of abbreviations, biographical and geographical names,foreign words and phrases, and tables of measures. Webster’s II New Riverside UniversityDictionary and the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language are collegedictionaries.81.Unabridged dictionaries contain as many as 500,000 entries and provide detailed definitionsand extensive word histories(etymologies). These dictionaries, possibly in several volumes andmostly found in libraries, are excellent sources for scholarly inquiries. Unabridged dictionariesinclude the Oxford English Dictionary and the Random House Dictionary of the English Language.82.A dictionary entry has many elements: multiple definitions, syllabication, preferred spellingand pronunciation (some words have more than one acceptable spelling and pronunciation), andpart-of-speech labels. Some entries also include plurals and capitalized forms, synonyms,antonyms, and derivatives. Americanisms and etymologies may be provided along with usagenotes, cross-references, and idioms.83.If you prefer using the dictionary on a computer, you can obtain CD-ROM versions of manymajor dictionaries. In addition, you can access numerous dictionaries, such as WWWebster’sDictionary, on the Internet. Online dictionaries allow yo0u to enter a search word (you even gethelp with spelling) to see a definition, and sometimes even an illustration. Online dictionaries alsooffer additional features, such as word games, language tips, and amusing facts about words.Some online dictionary services allow you to access numerous dictionaries, both general andspecialized, in one search.84.Specialized dictionaries provide in-depth information about acertain field. For example,there are dictionaries for the specialized vocabularies of law, computer technology, and medicine.In addition, there are dictionaries of synonyms, clichés, slang, and even regional expressions, suchas the Dictionary of American Regional English (DARE). There are also dictionaries of foreignlanguages, famous people‘s names, literary characters‘ names and place names.10I.

Whether this is done intentionally or 57 , they have still caused a patent 58 , and they may be faced with a legal case.The biggest patent war currently taking place in the mobile phone world is between Apple and Samsung.

By July last year, Apple and Samsung were involved in more than 50 lawsuits around the world. Both companies believe the other stole 61for their own smart-phones.But the big question is over whether the rules on creating patents should be 62 . If one company has the rights to an important piece of mobile phone technology,it risks leading to a lack of competition, and prices will remain 63 . On the other hand, companies are interested in one thing: making a 64 . And so it’s unlikely that they’ll “back off”to allow competition to flourish(活跃).

Then she heard a scream. A few seconds later, she saw an arm fly up near the deer’s head. Alexis realized the buck was attacking a woman. Sue Panter, a 44-year-old mother of four, had been out for her morning run. The buck had emerged from the tall corn and begun following her. “I knew I was in trouble,” Panter went to pick up a log to use for self-defense, and the buck attacked. It lifted her with its antlers and tossed her into the air.Alexis looked into t he woman’s terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, she got out of the car and down the slope toward the buck. Alexis helped Sue up the slope and into the Vaughans’ car. “We’re going to get you to a hospital,” Alexis said. Then she h eard her father Michael shout out. Michael had been knocked to the ground. Alexis grabbed a hammer and ran to where Michael lay in the dirt. She beat the buck’s head and neck, but the blows didn’t frighten it. Standing over her father, Alexis could see tha t he was struggling to breathe. “A couple more strikes, Lex,” said Michael. Alexis squeezed her eyes shut and hit several times. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away.Alexis got in the driver’s seat and sped toward the hospital.

There is one extra heading which you do not need.A.How to get a list of blocosB.Marching with a samba schoolC.The high occupancy at Brazil’s hotelsD.The pee control during the carnivalE.The world’s biggest carnivalF.The samba parade — the festival’s highlight77.More than 500,000 foreign visitors flock to the carnival each year to dance, shout, drink and surge around in happy mobs. Last year, 1.1 million people took part in the celebrations. The occupancy at Brazil’s hotels is currently more than 80percent and is expected to hit 98 percent, beating last year’s 95 percent. According to local media, Rio’s h otel association says this is the first time they predict an increase in domestic tourists over foreign tourists.78.What began as street parades developed into a more organized competition among top samba schools from Brazil and abroad. Approximately 3,000 to 5,000 members of each school participate in full-blown costumes that differ every year. All you have to do is buy a costume, head to the meeting spot of the samba school you decide to parade with, pay a membership fee and, most importantly, follow what the person in front of you is doing once you enter the parade with your school. Oh, and don’t forget to learn by heart your school’s tune.79.It’s not all about the samba. Blocos—street parties / smaller local parades that begin weeks before Carnival — are where the real parties are. Look up a list of blocos (there are approximately 500 each year) for times and location. To find a list, get friendly with locals. These aren’t exactly top secret.80.During the carnival, to prevent public urinating —an unfortunately common sight at Carnival —thousands of city workers will be on official “pee patrol.” Milling around the parades and parties in plain clothes, the public agents have been ordered to arrest revelers who can’t be bothered to find a toilet. First-time offenders will be fined, while repeat offenders will find themselves spending the night at the police station.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully.

For this and other reasons I was somewhat lonely. I had the lonely child’s habit ofmaking up stories and holding conversations with 42 persons, and I think from the very start my literary ambition was mixed up with the feeling of being 43 . I knew that I had a natural 44 with words and a power of facing unpleasant facts, and I felt that it 45 a sort of private world in which I could get my own back for my failure in everyday life.However, the quantity of serious writing which I 46 all through my childhood would not add up to half a dozen pages. I wrote my first poem at the age of four or five, my mother taking it down on piece of paper. I cannot remember anything about it except that it was about a tiger and the tiger had “chair-like teeth”—a good enough 47 . At eleven, when the war of 1914-18 broke out, I wrote a poem which was printed in the 48 newspaper, as was another, two years later, on the death of Kitchener. From time to time, when I was a bit older, I wrote bad and usually unfinished “nature poems”. I also, about twice, attempted a short story which was a 49 .

A farmer now holds sheep races on a regular basis, and during the past year over 100,000 people have 53 to watch the race. “I was passing the farm on my way to the sea for a holiday, ” one punter (赛马经纪人) told me , “a nd I thought I’d have a look. I didn’t believe it was serious, to tell you the truth.” According to a(n) 54 visitor, betting on sheep is more interesting than betting on 55 . “At proper horse races everyone has already studied the form of the horse 56 , and there are clear favourites. 57 nobody has heard anything about these 58 !

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AIt was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries（食品杂货），saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole. And it has influenced（影响）us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.65. Why was the bike so important to the couple?A. The man’s job was bike racing.B. It was their only possession.C. It was a nice Kona 18 speed.D. They used it for work and daily life.66. We can infer from the text that ____________.A. the couple worked 60 hours a week.B. people were busy before ChristmasC. the stranger brought over the bikeD. life was hard for the young family.67. How did people get to know the couple’s problem?A. From radio broadcasts.B. From a newspaper.C. From TV news.D. From a stranger.68. What do the couple learn from their experience?A. Strangers are usually of little help.B. One should take care of their bike.C. News reports make people famous.D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.BCharles Blackman : Alice in WonderlandAn Exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), Australia10June ---12 August 2007Place: The Ian Potter CentreAdmission: Free entryCharles Blackman is famous for his beautiful painting of dreams. In 1956 , he heard for the first time Lewis Carroll’s extraordinary tale of Alice in Wonderland –the story of a Victorian girl who falls down a rabbit hole meets a lot of funny characters and experience all kinds of things. At that time, Blackman’s wife was suffering form progressive blindness. The story of Alice moving through the strange situations often disheartened byvarious events, was similar to his wife’s experiences. It also reflected so much of his own life. All this contributed to the completion of the Alice in Wonderland paintings.Illustrator WorkshopGo straight to the experts for an introductory course in book illustration.

Each animal has its own kind of communication signal. They send out these signals through the sensory channels of taste, smell, sight, hearing, and touch.The most common forms of communication among animals are chemical signs, which include taste andsmell. In general, animals use these signs to mark their territories (领土), ward off enemies, and attract mates. Chemical signals are effective when used by any animal in any location. Dogs use chemical stings by leaving their scent (味道) to mark off their space. Female moths attract males by releasing a scent into the air. Skunks (臭鼬)spray a strong odor to ward off enemies. These signs are long-lasting because a smell may stay in the air for long periods of time.Actions seen by others are a form of visual communication. In the animal world, dancing bees, aggressively moving fish, and quick changes of skin color are all examples of visual communication. These signs may warn other animals of danger or point out the presence and location of food. The effectiveness of visual communication can be limited, however. Visual communication is not the best means or most widely used form of sending messages because it is difficult to see over long distances and because vision can be blocked by objects in the line of view.Sound is another way that animals "talk" to each other. By making noise, animals can send out messages to other animals. Sound, unlike sight, can be used to send messages through obstacles and over long distances. A female bird can hear the mating song of a male bird even when she cannot see him.Finally animals also use touch as a form of communication. Through the sense of touch, cats’ whiskers guide cats through tall grass or bushes and keep them from bumping into things. Monkeys and apes, like people, use touch to communicate love, affection, anger, and fear to one another.72. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Animals communicate through sensory channels.B. Communication between animals is normal behavior.C.Some forms of communication are more effective than others.D.Animals usually communicate emotions by touch73. Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from this passages?A. Chemical signals are usually more effective than visual signals.B. All animals must be able to protect themselves with chemical signals.C. Communication by sound is not as widely used as visual communication.D. Visual gestures are the only way for animals to indicate the presence of food to others.74. A cat that wants to mark a certain territory would most likely use which kind of signal?A. touchB. soundC. visionD. smell75. The mainly purpose of the author of this passage is to _____.A. describe the different ways in which animals communicateB. show how closely related animal and human communication areC. illustrate the differences in the way different species communicateD. entertain people with amusing stories about animalsDAmong rich countries, people in the United States work the longest hours. They work much longer than in Europe. This difference is quite surprising because productivity per hour worked is the same in the United States as it is in France, Spain and Germany, and it is growing at a similar speed.In most countries and at most times in history, as people have become richer they have chosen to work less. In other words they have decided to ‘spend’ a part of their extra income on a fuller personal life. Over the last fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern, and hours of work have fallen sharply. But not in the United States. We do not fully know why this is. One reason may be more satisfying work, or less satisfying personal lives.Longer hours do of course increase the GDP (国内生产总值). So the United States has produced more perworker than, say, France. The United States also has more of its people at work, while in France many more mothers and older workers have decided to stay at home. The overall result is that American GDP per head is 40% higher than in France, even though productivity per hour worked is the same.It is not clear which of the two situations is better. As we have seen, work has to be compared with other values like family life, which often get lost in interest. It is too early to explain the different trends in happiness over time in different countries. But it is a disappointing idea that in the United States happiness has made no progress since 1975, while it has risen in Europe. Could this have anything to do with trends in the work-life balance?76. From the text we know that the author .A. believes that longer working hours is betterB. prefers shorter working hours to longer onesC. says nothing certain about which pattern is betterD. thinks neither of the patterns is good77. In the last paragraph, the underlined word “which” refers to_______.A. family lifeB. situationsC. other valuesD. trends78. What message can we get from the text?A. The GDP of Europe is higher than that of America.B. Two possible reasons are given for working longer hours in the US.C. People all over the world choose to work less when they are richer.D. Americans are happier than Europeans.79. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Americans and EuropeansB. Staying at HomeC. Work and ProductivityD. Work and HappinessEDirections: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from this list for each paragraph.

As soon as you gain full confidence in yourself, you’ll be 60 to fight and overcome any difficulties.To get a thorough understanding of oneself also requires doing oneself a favor when it’s needed. In time of sadness, do yourself a favor by sharing it with your friendsso as to change a depressive mood into a(n) 61 one; in time of tiredness, do yourself a favor by getting a 62 sleep. As you are aware, what a personp hysically has is 63 a human body that’s weak when 64 to the elements.So if you fall ill, it’s up to you to take a good care of yourself.In a word, to get a thorough understanding of oneself is to get a full control of one’s life.

Choose the one that suits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)While Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning, he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise. All day Andrew felt nervous and anxious as he thought about the upcoming showdown (摊牌). What if Mr Larchmont refused to grant his request? Andrew had worked so hard in the last 18 months and landed some great accounts for Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency. Of course, he deserved a wage increase.The thought of walking into Larchmont’s office left Andrew weak in the knees. Late in the afternoon he was finally courageous enough to approach his superior. To his delight and surprise, the ever-frugal (一惯节省的) Harvey Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a raise!Andrew arrived home that evening—despite breaking all city and state speed limits—to a beautiful table set with their best china, and candles lit. His wife, Tina, had prepared a delicate meal including his favorite dishes. Immediately he figured someone from the office had tipped her off!Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered note. It was from his wife. It read: “Congratulations, my love! I knew you’d get the raise! I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you. I am so proud of your accomplishmen ts!” He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina was.After dinner, Andrew was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he observed that a second card had slipped out of Tina’s pocket on to the floor. He bent forward to pick it up. It read: “Don’t worry about not getting the raise! You do deserve one! You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase.”Suddenly tears swelled (涌出) in Andrew’s eyes. Total acceptance! Tina’s support for him was not conditional upon his success at work.The fear of rejection is often softened and we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure.65. What was Andrew’s plan that Friday?A. To find a job with the Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency.B. To request a wage increase from his boss.C. To celebrate his success.D.

However, it is a vigorous topic that attracts both popular and scientific interest. Why should the possibility of terraforming other planets be studied when it may be centuries before we know enough to even decide if it’s a good idea?Mankind is getting more and more hard facts about other planets. The atmosphere of Venus has been explored; robots have surveyed the surface of Mars; Mercury, Jupiter and Saturn have been studied by spacecraft. Speculations have been answered; new questions have been raised, and enough hard data is right now becoming available to allow us to make the first attempt of planetary engineering.In the past, people with excellent ideas about terraforming have kept them to themselves, or buried them in a desk drawer because they did not realize that anyone else was interested. But now, a wide circle of people has begun to do this kind of work. For instance, NASA funded a project on transforming Mars.There are several strong reasons which demand that the possibilities of terraforming be studied carefully. First, it’s an exciting idea of a possible future for human beings. Such thinking has a valuable role in providing options for our future directions. Secondly, the techniques of terraforming will also help contemporary technologies in weather and climate control. Thirdly, such study may assist us in detecting any possible existence of extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI, The Search for Extraterrsstial Intelligence, 地外文明搜索) and alien (异己的) civilizations on other planets.Though the mission is far beyond our reach at the moment, we should at least keep our options open. Through debate and study on this subject, the possibility of rebuilding other planets to make them suitable homes for people may come true some day in the future.72. According to the context, what’s the meaning of the word “speculation” in paragraph 2?A. The act of discussing something with a group of people.B. The act of studying and researching.C. The act of guessing without knowing all the facts about something.D. The acting of writing letters to a certain organization.73. Why did people keep the idea of terraforming to themselves in the past?A. They thought no one else would show interest in the idea.B. They gradually came to find the idea crazy.C. They thought the idea would never come true.D. They had few resources for further study on this topic.74. Which is NOT the reason to support the study of terraforming?A. Even if we don’t succeed in terraforming, such study may help us to better understandtechnologies such as climate and weather control.B. Such study may explore a new direction of development for human beings.C. Such study may enable us to find the lives on other planets.D. As the resources on Earth are being drained, it’s very urgent to study how to migrate (迁移) to other planets.75. What’s the main idea of the article?A. It’s highly possible that terraforming other planets will come true so we should increase investing in this program.B. Even if the idea of terraforming other planets may take centuries to realize, we have manyreasons to support such studies.C. Terraforming other planets is the best option for human being’s future.D. More and more people are taking planetary engineering as their occupation. Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for eachparagraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Heating up in the North as well as the SouthB. Geographic knowledge about the ArcticC. Energy prospects in the ArcticD. The consequences of Greenland’s ice meltE. Territorial claims on the ArcticF. Shrinking ice sheet of the ArcticOnly in the 1890s did a Norwegian explorer prove the Arctic was a deep polar ocean with drifting ice cap. Theories had held that within a belt of ice, open shallow water, and possible land, surrounded the North Pole, or that the ice cap was solid and unmoving. In the 1950s ocean-floor features started to come into focus, from data gathered by floating ice stations and submarines. Now that the Arctic is warming more rapidly than any other place on Earth, knowledge of what lies beneath its ocean is changing just as fast.The Arctic Ocean may hol d nearly a quarter of the world’s unexplored oil and natural gas. Most is expected to be found on the shallow continental shelves. The deposits formed from algae and plankton that grew more than 100 million years ago, when Earth was warmer and the Arctic ice free. More than 400 oil and gas fields have already been discovered within the Arctic Circle, largely onshore.The empire of ice at the top of the world is shrinking. The Arctic Ocean’s summer ice covers little more than half its former area. Sea ice, naturally expanding and contracting with the seasons, has covered this ocean year-round for most of the past three million years. But the Arctic is uniquely sensitive to climate change. Ten years ago global –warming models predicted that Arctic Ocean could be ice free in summer by 2100. Then the date dropped to 2050, and now to 2030—or sooner.The Northern Hemisphere has experienced a greater temperature rise than the Southern, in part because it has more land, which warms faster than open oceans. Yet troubling signs of warming in Antarctica—where the vast continental ice sheet holds 85 percent of Earth’s freshwater ice—make it clear that the bottom of the world is also vulnerable.Greenland’s ice sheet is so massive—a mile thick on average—that it creates its own weather. But new snowfall can no longer replace the ice the world’s largest island is losing each year. A warming ocean also plays into the ice sheet’s thaw. Sea levels aren’t affected by melting Arctic Ocean ice, already afloat, but the pac e of Greenland’s ice melt could help raise sea levels five feet by 2100.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Hans Christian Andersen put Denmark on the map of the world literature with his stories The Emperor’s New Clothes, The Little Mermaid and The Ugly Duckling. Now Copenhagen, the country’s capital, has become the center of the world political map, with 190 world leaders attending the climate talks there, not to mention thousands of reporters.Just how much do you know about the Scandinavian country?Denmark is famous for its design culture. At the heart of “Danish Design” is the idea that, as poet and designer Piet Hein puts it: “There is one art, not more, nor less, and that is to do all things with artlessness.”Danish design places equal emphasis on practicality and equality. From Lego toys to furniture, Danish products are known for their clean lines, simplicity and functionality. “Remove material where it’s not needed. Keep things simple and functional and produce them carefully,” explained Hans J. Wegner, the first Danish designer to achieve worldwide fame: “The aim is not to create a work of art, but to produce a good chair.”“The Danes have done a better job than most in promoting arts in Europe, packing a punch (用力出击) above their country’s size and population in the fields of architecture, sculpture and design,” writes Helena Smith, reporter with British newspaper the Guardian.The simplicity of Danish design may extend to the quality of life there. Some even claim that the Danes have the highest quality of life of any nation in the world.Kate Vial, a 55-year-old American who has lived and worked in Denmark for more than 30 years, explaining why she chooses to live in Denmark rather than the US, told Germany’s biggest news weekly Der Spiegel: “I just chose a simpler lifestyle, one where I could ride my bike all over and where I don’t have to make a great living to survive.”81. Copenhagen has been the focus of attention of the world now because _______________.82. What characteristics do Danish products have?83. According to a reporter, people in Denmark are superior to people in Europe in promoting arts as far as ______________________________ are concerned.84. What makes Kate Vial choose to live in Denmark rather than the US?(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)第Ⅱ卷（共45分）Ⅰ.Translation（20分）Directions: Translate the following sentences into English.

It is because locusts change their colours with the changes of the colours of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change into the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests whose colours are different from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for live and appear only at night.If you study the animals’ life, you’ll find the main use of colours is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters because their colours are much like the trees.Colours are useful not only on the land, but also in the sea.
