Fees range from 6,132 pounds per term for day pupils to 7,665 pounds per term for boarders (寄宿生).“We are introducing classes on happiness,”said Anthony Seldon, master of Welling ton College. “We have been focusing too much on academics (学术) and missing something far more im portant.”A psychologist (心理学家) will be in charge of a pilot project teaching “happiness lessons” from the start of the next academic year. Pupils aged 14 to 16 will be given one lesson a week, learning skills such as how to manage relationships, physical and mental health, negative emotions and how to achieve one’s goals.The college’s religious education staff (成员) will teach the course as a complement (辅助) to, rather than a substitute (替代) for, usual religious education classes, said Seldon, who is also a political critic and writer.“To me, the most important job of any school is to turn out young men and women who are happy and secure (可靠的).” explained Seldon. “Celebrity, money and possessions are too often the touchstones for teenagers and yet these are not where happiness lies. Our children need to know that as societies become richer, theyd on’t become happier— a fact regularly shown by social science resear ch.”36. Wellington school is to offer students classes on happiness because ______.A. students want to learn more about materialism and celebrity obsessionB. students have poor knowledge about materialism and celebrity obsessionC. students are often unhappy about the courses taught at schoolD. the school wants to smooth away the bad effects caused by materialism and celebrity obsession37. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. Wellington College has been focusing much attention on happiness lessons.B. Science research shows that the richer people are, the happier they will become.C. British teenagers often judge things by celebrity, money and possessions.D. Happiness lessons will take the place of religious education classes in college.38. In happiness lessons, students learn the following except ______.A. how to get along with othersB. how to become rich and famousC. how to get rid of negative emotionD. how to keep healthy both in physical and mental waysB“I’m seventy years old,” says the gra y-haired lady proudly to the entertainer (演艺人员) at her Community Club dinner.“Did you hea r that, everyone?” says the entertainer. “This lovely lady is just seventy years young! And she doe sn’t look a day over fifty.”He has been careful not to use the word “old”. In a society where youth is so admired, old age is often seen as something sad, something to fight against. Ame ricans prefer not to say “old” people. They use the express ion “senior citizens”. They do not talk about “old people’s” homes, but “retirement” homes.In fact, the entertainer is not so wrong. Seventy is not very old these days. People in the US are living longer and longer. In1980, 12 percent of Americans were over sixty-five years old. By 2030, 21 percent will be over sixty-five. One reason for this is that families are getting smaller. The average couple now has only 1.8 children. At the same time, improved medical care means that people are living longer.This change in the age of Americans is going to have serious results. For one thing, medical costs are rising. The government is unable to pay the e lderly people’s medical bills that have gone up very much. Some old people have to leave hospital “sicker and quicker” than they sh ould, before they are really better.More fortunate senior citizens, though, who still have good health, want new laws to be passed to allow them to stay at work. In the past, the retirement age was sixty-five, but that is changing now. Older people are stronger and more energetic than ever before. Many of them refuse to stop working just because they have reached a certain age.There is a change, too, in the way in which elderly people see themselves. Many are no longer happy to accept the gray hair, bald (秃的) heads, and boring clothes of their own parents. They like to wear younger-looking clothes and bright makeup. American women spend millions of dollars a year on operations to lift their faces and make those ugly wrinkles (皱纹) disappear. Men are prepared to spend even more on operations to plant new hair on their bald spots. It’s worth any money to look younger.39. In America people try to avoid u sing the word “old” because ______.A. the old age is seen as some thing that isn’t admiredB. it is now believed to bring bad luck to elderly peopleC. the standard (标准) of getting old has changedD. the change in the age has caused a health problem40. According to the passage, which of the following does NOT describe the American society correctly?A. People live longer because of improved medical care.B. The government finds it difficult to afford the medical bills of the elderly.C. People use polite expressions when talking about old age.D. The old patient s’ time in hospital is stric tly limited.41. This passage is most probably taken from ______.A. a travel bookletB. a magazineC. an advertisementD.a medical reportCAfter an absence of thirty years, I decided to visit my old school again. I had expected to find changes, but not a completely different building. As I walked up the school drive, I wondered for a moment if I had come to the right address. The dirty red brick houses had been swept away. In its place stood a bright, modern block. A huge expanse of glass extended (延展) across the face of the building, and in front, there was a well-kept lawn (草坪) where previously there had been “an untidy gravel (沙石) yard”.I was pleased to find that it was bread time and that the children were all in the playground. This would enable me to meet some members of staff. On entering the building, I was surprised to hear loud laughter coming from what appeared to be the masters’ c ommon room. I could not help remembering the teachers in my time, all dressed in black gowns (长袍) and high collars (领子). And above all, I recalled Mr Garston whom we had n icknamed “Mr Ghastly”, the headmast er who had iron discipline on staff and pupils alike. I knocked at the common room door and was welcomed by a smiling young man who introduced himself to me as the headmaster.He was dressed casually in a sports jacket, and his cheerful manner, quickly dispelled (驱散) the image of Mr Ghastly. After I had explained who I was, the headmaster presented me to the teachers all of whom were a little younger than himself, and said he would take me round the school.Here the biggest surprise of all was in store for me. Gone were the heavy desks of old with their deeply carved names; gone too, were the dark classrooms with their ink stained, dark brown walls, and their raised platforms for the teachers. The rooms now were painted in bright colors, and the children, far from sitting straightin their places, seemed almost free to do as they liked. I looked with envy as I remembered how, as a child, I had looked at the blackboard hardly daring to whisper to my neighbor.42. The writer ______.A. had no difficulty in recognizing his old schoolB. found it difficult to recognize his old schoolC. noticed that the building was still unfinishedD. was surprised to see an untidy gravel yard43. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. He had expected that the school had completely changed.B. In the writer’s time, all the teachers were dressed in black gowns and high collars.C. There was a well-kept lawn in their school when he visited it.D. An untidy gravel yard had disappeared.44. “Mr Ghastly” must be ______.A. th e writer’s t eacherB. a serious old manC. the strict headmasterD. a naughty boy45. From what is said in the passage it seems clear the writer ______.A. disapproved of all the changes that had taken placeB. felt sorry for the children in the schoolC. was glad that the school was still the sameD. felt that conditions at the school had improved a lot四、句型转换(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)46.

A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it. It can be like a very big and very __41__ vegetable soup—walk in the wrong place and you can sink and __42__ forever. The men were working when one of them saw something sticking out—a human foot! Naturally, the men called the police, who then found the rest of the body. Was it a case of murder? Possibly—but it was a death __43__ two thousand years old. The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and internal __44__ —the scientists who examined him were able to look inside the man’s stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last __45__!Why was this man so well __46__? It was because he was in a very watery environment, safe from the bacteria that need oxygen to live. Also, the water in the bog was very acidic. The acid preserved the man’s skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for __47__ coats and shoes.How did he die? Understandably, archaeologists and other __48__ wanted to know more about the person that they called, “Lindow Man”. His hands and fingernails suggested that he hadn’t done heavy __49__ work in this life — he could have been a rich man. They found that he hadn’t died by accident. The archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods. III. Reading Comprehension：Section AWe have quite a bit of information about ancient Egyptian medicine.

When a person was ill, he or she would come to the temple or __59__ a doctor for a diagnosis (诊断).

This camping trip idea is not getting off to a very good start. It's raining and the tent leaks. The hiking seemed to take forever, and I still can't understand how it could all have been up hill! How did I ever let my brother talk me into this? When we get home—if we ever get home—he's going to have to do something great to get back on my good side. Maybe he should sponsor a shopping spree （狂购）at the mall!Tuesday: Things are looking up. The sun came out today, so we were able to leave the tents and dry out. We're camped at the edge of a small lake that I couldn't see before because of the rain and fog. The mountains are all around us, and the forest is absolutely beautiful. We spent most of the day dragging everything out of our backpacks or tents and putting it where the sun could dry it out. Later in the afternoon we tried to catch the fish for dinner, but the fish were smarter than we were. At night we built a fire and sang songs happily.Wednesday: We hiked to the far side of the lake and climbed to the top of a small peak. From there we could see how high the other mountains were and how far the forest spread around us. On the way up we passed through a snowfield!Thursday: I caught my first fish! We followed the stream that fed the lake. After about two miles, we came to a section that Carol said looked "fishy". She had a pack rod （竿）, which can be carried in a backpack. I asked to cast it, and I caught a fish on my first try. Carol caught a few more. But they were just too pretty to eat for lunch, so we put them back in the stream.Friday: I can't believe we are going home already. It will be nice to get a hot shower, sleep in a real bed, and eat junk food, but the trip has been wonderful．We're already talking about another camping adventure next year where we canoe down a river. It's hard to believe, but I think this city girl has a little country blood in her veins.65.The writer went on this camping trip because _____.A. she enjoyed campingB. she wanted to go fishingC. she was influenced by her brotherD. she was tired of staying home66.The whole morning of Tuesday, the writer _____.A. hiked along the lakeB. dried out her belongingsC. climbed the mountainD. caught the fish for dinner67.It can be inferred that Carol had a pack rod with her because _____.A. she could not afford to buy a regular fishing poleB. she needed it to get their main source of foodC. she thought the writer of the journal might need itD. she expected to go fishing while they were hiking68.It is likely that the writer will _____ ．A. go on another camping tripB. invite Carol to go fishing togetherC. make her brother buy her somethingD. convince tier brother to go camping(B)A Little Is A Lot For Those With NothingEach year, 22 million people die from preventable causes, such as polluted water or the lack of nutrition, according to a new report from the World Health Organization. These groups are taking some of the top lights:****A child dies every eight seconds from water-borne disease. Global Water builds wells in very poor communities in Romania, Central America and Africa. Go to global .****As much as 80 percent of the world's population may be lacking in iron.

Without the metropolis, we might not have had the great art of Shakespeare.And yet, city life isn’t easy. Now scientists have begun to examine how the city affects the brain, and the results are depressing. Just being in an urban environment, they have found, impairs (损害) our basic mental processes. After spending a few minutes on a crowded city street, the brain is less able to hold things in memory, and suffers from reduced self-control. While it’s long been recognized that city life is exhausting, this new research suggests that cities actually dull our thinking, sometimes dramatically so.One of the main forces at work is a complete lack of nature, which is surprisingly beneficial for the brain. Studies have demonstrated, for instance, that hospital patients recover more quickly when they can see trees from their windows, and that women living in public housing are better able to focus when their apartments overlook a lawn. Even these glimpses of nature improve brain performance, it seems, because they provide a mental break from the urban life.This research arrives just as humans cross an important milestone (里程碑). For the first time in history, the majority of people live in cities. Instead of inhabiting wide-open spaces, we’re crowded into concrete jungles, surrounded by traffic and millions of strangers. In recent years, it’s become clear that such unnatural surroundings have important implications for our mental and physical health, and can powerfully alter how we think.This research is also leading some scientists to dabble(涉足) in urban design, as they look for ways to make the city less damaging to the brain. The good news is that even slight alterations, such as planting more trees in the inner city or creating urban parks with a greater variety of plants, can significantly reduce the negative side effects of city life. The mind needs nature, and even a little bit can be a big help.72.Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?A. The city inspires talented people.B. The city hurts your brain.C. The city has many pleasures and benefits.D. The city seriously affects the natural balance.73.The word “metropolis” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _____.A. citizenB. natureC. cityD. stress74.What is the factor mentioned in the third paragraph that helps the hospital patients recovermore quickly?A. Nature.B. Better treatment.C. Experienced doctors.D. Good medicine.75.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Different aspects of an urban environment, such as the crowded streets, can lead to anincrease in self-control.B. Small changes in urban design cannot reduce the negative side effects of city life.C. For the first time in history, the earth’s population is mor e urban than rural.D. A walk down a busy city street will improve brain performance.Section C BAFEDDirections: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from A—F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. (F=AB)76. ___________There is considerable variety in university classroom in the United States. Because of diverse teaching methods and non-standardized curricula, no two courses are the same. Undergraduate courses are considerably different from graduate courses. The classroom atmosphere in expensive, private universities may differ from that in community colleges which are free and open to everyone.77. ___________Participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses. Some professors b ase part of the final grade on the student’s oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (i.e., listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, student questions, and informal lectures.78. ___________Many teachers believe that the responsibility for learning lies with the student. If a long reading assignment is given, instructor expects students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination. (Courses are not designed merely for students to pass exams.) The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades.79. ___________Ideally, the teacher-student relationship at universities is characterized by trust. The honor system, put forward by the teacher and the university demands that the student be honest in all areas of school work. Thus , cheating on tests, plagiarizing (抄袭) in written work, presenting others’ ideas as original, and turning in homework completed by someone else are all prohibited.80. ___________Relationships between students in the classroom can be cooperative or competitive. International students should not hesitate to ask for help if it is needed. There are courses, however, where grades are calculated in relation to other student’s scores. Therefore, in classes where such a grading curve is used, students may be reluctant to share lecture notes or information for fear that their own grades will suffer.Section DBreastfeeding for a month or longer appears to reduce a woman’s risk of getting diabetes (糖尿病) later in life, according to a new study. The breastfeeding and diabetes link has been reported in other studies, according to researcher Eleanor Schwarz. Yet, her study makes the linkeasier to believe. Her study is published in a journal of medicine in America. Schwarz and her colleagues looked at data about breastfeeding practices. They evaluated data on 2,233 women from California. Of those, 405 were not mothers, 1,125 were mothers who breastfed for at least a month, and 703 were mothers who had never breastfed. They were 40 to 78 years old.According to Schwarz’s study, the risk of getting a diagnosis (诊断) of Type 2 diabetes for women who breastfed all their children for a month or longer was similar to that of women who had not given birth. But mothers who had never breastfed were nearly twice as likely to develop diabetes as women who had never given birth. Mothers who never breastfed were about 1.4 times as likely to develop diabetes as women who breastfed for one to three months, Schwarz found.While one month of breastfeeding appears to make a difference, Schwarz says, even longer is better. “Previous studies have shown the longer the mom breastfeeds, the more benefit for her body.” Many experts recommend breastfeeding for six months and continuing for a year, she says.The diabetes-breast feeding link is probably explained by belly fat. Mothers, who don’t breastfeed, as they get older, may have more belly fat, as breastfeeding helps new mothers take off weight. “Belly fat increases the risk of diabetes as you get older,” she says.The findi ng isn’t surprising at all, says Kimberly Gregory. She often gives advice to women who get diabetes occurring during pregnancy (怀孕) that they are at risk for later getting Type 2 diabetes and suggests they breastfeed. The new findings will probably inspire Gregory to add to the advice she gives moms-to-be about the benefits of breastfeeding. She often focuses on the benefits to the baby.81. According to the first paragraph, Eleanor Schwarz’s results seem more reliable.82. According to Schwarz’s findings, those mothers who had never breastfed are more likely to get diabetes later in life.83. Schwarz agrees that if a mother breastfeeds her baby longer, she will benefit more from it.84. What does the author mean by “moms-to-be” in the last paragraph?Women who are pregnant, especially for the first timeIV. Translation: 20%1.他对于记者的提问避而不答。

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AMost people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice.However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Cur ies’ two daughters.Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers.She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics.When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities（设备）to help save the lives of wounded soldiers.Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium.Herservices were recognized in the form of a Military’s Medal by the French government.In 1918, Irene became her mother’s assistant at the Curie Institute.In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work.They soon fell in love and were married in 1926.Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.Like her mother, Irene combined family and career.Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935.Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity（辐射能）.Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.46.Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal?A.Because she received a degree in mathematics.B.Because she contributed to saving the wounded.C.Because she won the Nobel Prize with Frederic.D.Because she worked as a helper to her mother.47.Where did Irene Curie meet her husband Frederic Joliot?A.At the Curie Institute.B.At the university of Paris.C.At a military hospital.D.At the College of Sevigne.48.When was the second child of Irene Curie and Frederic Joliot born?A.In 1932.B.In 1927.C.In 1897.D.In 192649.In which of the following aspects was Irene Curie different from her mother?A.Irene worked with radioactivity.B.Irene combined family and career.C.Irene won the Nobel Prize onceD.Irene died from leukemiaBHowling is a behavior commonly observed among a wolf nark.An animals, wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling was an important means of communication each other.There are different explan ation s of a wolf’s howl and it appears that there may be more to discover.One theory is that wolves howl to bend better together.It’s almost as if howlingtogether helps the pack stay together.Perhaps something similar to people feeling a sense of involvement with each other when singing a song together.But this theory may be wrong, explains Fred H.Harington, a professor who studies wolf behavior.Indeed, there have been times when wolves have been seen one moment howling in a exhorts, and the next, quarreling anions each other.It appears that usually the lowest-tanking menthes of the pack may actually be “punished” for joining in the chorus at times.So is howling a way to strengthen a social bond or just a way to reconfirm status among its members?－Why do wolves howl for sure?What is clear, however, is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each other.Hunting grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from one another at times.When this happens, howling appears to be an excellent means of gathering.Howling, interestingly, is a contagious behavior.When one wolf starts to howl, very likely others will follow.This is often seen to occur in the morning, as if wolves were doing some sort of “roll call” where wolves all howl together to howl, very likely others will follow.This is often seen to occur in the morning, as if wolves were doing w some sort of “roll call” where wolves all howl together to report their presence.50. what is the possible similarity between wolves’ howling together and human’s singing in chorus?A. The act of calling each other.B. The sense of accomplishmentC. The act of hunting for somethingD. The sense of belonging to a group51.Why does Harrington think the “social bond” theory may be wrong?A. Wolves separate from each other after howling.B. Wolves tend to protect their hunting grounds.C. Wolves sometimes have quarrels after howling togetherD. Wolves of low rank are encouraged to join in the chorus.52. Researchers are sure that wolves often howl to ________.A. show their ranksB. find their companionsC. report the missing onesD. express their lonelinessCHong Kong's Education Department officials called for action to reduce the weight of students' school bags.Officials of the department are concerned about overweight school bags and their possible harmful effects on the formation of spines (脊柱) of primary and junior secondary school students.It is important to take measures to deal with the problem and get support and cooperation (合作) from school.Under a set of instructions, students are encouraged to develop the habit of packing school bags every day and are discouraged from taking toys, magazines and unnecessary things to school. Schools should advise students on the types of school bags and on the correct posture (姿势) in carrying them.Parents' cooperation and support should be got so that the advice given to students at school will be strengthened at home.Besides, timetables should be designed so students do not have to carry a large number of textbooks, workbooks or exercise books to school every day. At the same time, schools should consider the weight and size of textbooks before deciding which textbooks should be used.53. Students shouldn't take ________ to school according to the instructions.A.toys and magazinesB.textbooks and toysC.unnecessary things and bagsD.packed school bags54.Overweight school bags ________.A.have a bad effect on students' growingB.from the spines of school studentsC.are filled with so many textbooksD.are called for by Education Department Officials55.When dealing with the problem, it is important to get support and cooperation from ________.A.school and officialsB.officials and parentsC.officials, schools and parentsD.schools, students and parents56.Timetables should be designed to ________.A.choose the proper weight and size of textbooksB.avoid using so many books a dayC.develop the habit of packing school bags every dayD.strengthen the effect of the instructionsSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully and then answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than ten words.Wouldn't it be nice to just look at a page and never forget what was on there？What if you could never again forget a friend's birthday？There are many things you can do to improve your memory. With time and practice most people can gain the ability to memorize large amounts of information.Organize your life. Keep items that you frequently need,such as keys and eyeglasses,in the same place every time. Improved organization can help free up your powers of concentration so that you can remember less routine things.Exercise your brain. Regularly exercising the brain keeps it growing and stimulates the development of new nerve connections that can help improve memory. By practising new mental skills—such as learning a new language or learning to play a new musical instrument—and challenging your brain with puzzles and games,you can ________.Exercise daily. Regular aerobic(有氧健身的)exercise improves circulation and efficiency throughout the body—including the brain—and can help avoid the memory loss that comes with aging. Exercise also makes you more alert and relaxed,and can thereby improve your memory uptake.Reduce stress. Stress does in fact physically damage the brain；it can make remembering much more difficult. Try to relax,regularly practice yoga or other stretching exercises,and see a doctor if you have severe chronic stress as soon as possible.Eat well and eat right. There are a lot of herbal medicines on the market that claim to improve memory but almost none have yet been shown to be effective by experts in this field.A healthy diet,however,contributes to a healthy brain,and foods containing antioxidants(抗氧化剂)—broccoli,blueberries and berries appear to promote healthy brain function.57.What is the main idea of the text？(no more than 8 words)_____________________________________________________________________ 58.Which sentence in the text is closest in meaning to the following one?By making better arrangements for ordinary things you can spare more time and energy to focus on something important._____________________________________________________________________ 59.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words.(no more than 8 words)_____________________________________________________________________ 60.Add two more ways of improving memory.(no more than 6 words each)①_____________________________________________________________________ ②_____________________________________________________________________Part III Translation.Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given inthe brackets.61.五彩的鲜花可以使沉闷的房间恢复生机。

Reading comprehensionSection AScientists fear rising energy bills may lead to an increase in obesity after discovering a link between poorly-heated homes and higher body fat.Researchers from the University of Stirling’s Behavioral Science Centre 51 to explore claims that warm indoor temperatures have 52 increasing obesity levels in winter. Instead, the team found that people who live in 53 homes are more likely to have low body mass index (BMI) levels while those who keep their heating 54 or off tend to be heavier.Dr. Michael Daly, behavioral scientist and senior lecturer, said: “We come on to investigate the scientific claims that cooler indoor temperatures help us to 55 a healthy weight by pushing our bodies to consume more 56 through shivering and generating heat through tissues.” In fact, the research suggests people may eat less and 57 more energy when living in a warmer indoor environment.The 13-year study, published in the journal Obesity, 58 more than 100,000 adults across England. Researchers found 59 weight levels among people living in homes heated to above 23°C (73F), which accounted for about 15,000 of the households studied.Dr. Daly said: “As national gas bills continue to rise faster than the rate ofinflation(通货膨胀), this research suggests the 60 of obesity could worsen where heating dropped below 61 levels or off for lengthy periods to cut costs.“This is not just about people who live in warm enough homes being in the 62 position to afford more expensive low-calorie foods, exercise classes and sporting activities. 63 , they find it easier to stay at a low BMI level. The study took age, gender, social class and other factors into account.“The comfortable surrounding temperature of 20.3-23°C is where we feel comfortable in our 64 and are neither hot nor cold. At temperatures above this, we consume more energy and we eat less because our 65 is taken away.”51. A. set up B. set out C. set off D. set about52.

He was eager to correct this injustice(非正义). His enemy, the ruler of Capanavia, was holding Tolland citizens hostages(人质) on the borders of their country. Prince Lucian would have to offer all his resources to saving them. The challenge was fierce. There was a huge mountain to climb and a thick jungle to pass before reaching the place where the hostages were held."The news is not good!" the Prince told his advisors. "However, we can succeed. Call together the military department and let's plan a surprise attack!""Yes, sir!" his subjects responded with eagerness.At the meeting, the Prince selected ten of his most trusted leaders to develop a plan. They worked for hours until they agreed to the steps they should take. They planned to gather supplies and employ soldiers within one week. Then, they would set out on their formal effort to rescue the hostages.The men went back to their towns and announced the need for military. They received a greater response than they ever expected. Thousands gathered to help rescue their fellow citizens. By the time they all returned to the capital city, there were 750,000 people ready to go.Word came to the enemy about the large army congregating（集合）. It struck fear in their minds.

Visitors can buy reduced tickets as long as they make a reservation.CMost people in business have a strong sense that meetings are demanding more and more of their time. Fifty years ago meetings were barely necessary –the boss decided what was going to happen and told employees in a brief office memo.Now everything in business is discussed extensively in large meetings attended by anybody who has the remotest interest in the subject. The gradual erosion of formal systems of authority has increased the appetite for face-to-face meetings. Consultation and discussion has taken the place of direct instruction.The amount of travel to get to these meetings is increasing. More than nine million people passed through Heathrow(希思罗机场) in 2005 on the way to internal company events. As a consequence, corporate travel is a growing part of UK carbon emissions(排放). It would be easy to say we must reverse the trend towards more meetings to reduce the climate-change impact of modern business. Unfortunately, it is not going to be easy. Some interesting recent research shows that most of the attendees at corporate meetings do complain about the waste of time involved. But when they were questioned in private, the picture changes. Only 15 per cent of people rated their most recent meeting adversely. Though most attendees saw room forimprovement, meetings were valuable both in helping build plans for action and in making employees feel part of the organization.But do these meetings have to be face-to-face? British Telecom recently presented some data on the success of its internal voice conferencing. In the most recent year, more than two million telephone conferences took place in the company. BT estimates a saving of over ￡200m from the use of this technology and a cut of almost 100,000 tonnes of CO2. Of course BT has a clear interest in telling us that phone meetings are a good substitute for wasteful corporate get-togethers. So far, such conferencing has struggled to take off as people have tended to prefer to travel. It is, after all, rather more difficult to understand the boss's body language over the phone. Nevertheless, BT's research on the considerable benefits of conferencing is reasonable. Rather than try to get rid of apparently unproductive meetings, we need to find ways to make telephone and video conferences ever better substitutes for those traditional meetings.( )74. Why are there more and more meetings according to the passage?A. Because the formal systems of authority has been established.B. Because people prefer to solve problems through discussion.C. Because the organizations are getting more and more complex.D. Because modern transportation has been developing rapidly.( )75. The word “ adversely” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to______.A. approvinglyB. enthusiasticallyC. feasiblyD. unfavourably( )76. British Telecom presented the figures to prove that voice conferencing_______.A. stimulates the development of technologyB. plays a vital role in large organizationsC. may well replace conventional onesD. brings large profit to the company( )77. What can we learn from the passage?A. Traditional face-to-face meetings bring more benefits than harm.B. Corporate travel contributes a lot to environmental problems.C. The idea of telephone conference is well accepted by employees.D. Meetings should be abandoned because they are a waste of timeSection CHANS Christian Andersen put Denmark on the map of the world literature with his stories The Emperor's New Clothes, The Little Mermaid （小美人鱼）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, to do all things with artlessness(朴实)”．Danish design places equal emphasis on practicality and quality．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 make 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, considering 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 theUS, told Germany's biggest news weekly Der Spiegel: “I just chose a simpler life style, one where I could ride my bike all over and where I don't have to make a great living to survive．”(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)78.

Fees range from 6,132 pounds per term for day pupils to 7,665 pounds per term for boarders (寄宿生).“We are introducing classes on happiness,” said Anthony Seldon, master of Wellington College. “We havebeen focusing too much on academics (学术) and missing something far more important.”A psychologist (心理学家) will be in charge of a pilot project teaching “happiness lessons” from the start of the next academic year. Pupils aged 14 to 16 will be given one lesson a week, learning skills such as how to manage relationships, physical and mental health, negative emotions and how to achieve one’s goals.The colle ge’s religious education staff (成员) will teach the course as a complement (辅助) to, rather than a substitute (替代) for, usual religious education classes, said Seldon, who is also a political critic and writer.“To me, the most important job of any school i s to turn out young men and women who are happy and secure (可靠的).” explained Seldon. “Celebrity, money and possessions are too often the touchstones for teenagers and yet these are not where happiness lies. Our children need to know that as societies becom e richer, they don’t become happier —a fact regularly shown by social science research.”36. Wellington school is to offer students classes on happiness because ______.A. students want to learn more about materialism and celebrity obsessionB. students have poor knowledge about materialism and celebrity obsessionC. students are often unhappy about the courses taught at schoolD. the school wants to smooth away the bad effects caused by materialism and celebrity obsession37. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. Wellington College has been focusing much attention on happiness lessons.B. Science research shows that the richer people are, the happier they will become.C. British teenagers often judge things by celebrity, money and possessions.D. Happiness lessons will take the place of religious education classes in college.38. In happiness lessons, students learn the following except ______.A. how to get along with othersB. how to become rich and famousC. how to get rid of negative emotionD. how to keep healthy both in physical and mental waysB“I’m seventy years old,” says the gray-haired lady proudly to the entertainer (演艺人员) at her Community Club dinner.“Did you hear that, everyone?” says the entertainer. “This lovely lady is just seventy years young! And she doesn’t look a day over fifty.”He has been careful not to use the word “old”. In a society where youth is so admired, old age is often seen as something sad, something to fight against. Americans prefer not to say “old” people. They use the expression “senior citizens”. They do not talk about “old people’s” homes, but “retirement” homes.In fact, the entertainer is not so wrong. Seventy is not very old these days. People in the US are living longer and longer. In1980, 12 percent of Americans were over sixty-five years old. By 2030, 21 percent will be over sixty-five. One reason for this is that families are getting smaller. The average couple now has only 1.8 children. At the same time, improved medical care means that people are living longer.This change in the age of Americans is going to have serious results. For one thing, medical costs are rising. The government is unable to pay the elderly people’s medical bills that have gone up very much. Some ol d people have to leave hospital “sicker and quicker” than they should, before they are really better.More fortunate senior citizens, though, who still have good health, want new laws to be passed to allow them to stay at work. In the past, the retirement age was sixty-five, but that is changing now. Older people are stronger and more energetic than ever before. Many of them refuse to stop working just because they have reached a certain age.There is a change, too, in the way in which elderly people see themselves. Many are no longer happy to accept the gray hair, bald (秃的) heads, and boring clothes of their own parents. They like to wear younger-looking clothes and bright makeup. American women spend millions of dollars a year on operations to lift their faces and make those ugly wrinkles (皱纹) disappear. Men are prepared to spend even more on operations to plant new hair on their bald spots. It’s worth any money to look younger.39. In America people try to avoid using the word “old” because ______.A. the old age is seen as something that isn’t admiredB. it is now believed to bring bad luck to elderly peopleC. the standard (标准) of getting old has changedD. the change in the age has caused a health problem40. According to the passage, which of the following does NOT describe the American society correctly?A. People live longer because of improved medical care.B. The government finds it difficult to afford the medical bills of the elderly.C. People use polite expressions when talking about old age.D. The old patients’ time in hospital is strictly limited.41. This passage is most probably taken from ______.A. a travel bookletB. a magazineC. an advertisementD. a medical reportCAfter an absence of thirty years, I decided to visit my old school again. I had expected to find changes, but not a completely different building. As I walked up the school drive, I wondered for a moment if I had come to the right address. The dirty red brick houses had been swept away. In its place stood a bright, modern block. A huge expanse of glass extended (延展) across the face of the building, and in front, there was a well-kept lawn (草坪) where previously there had been “an untidy gravel (沙石) yard”.I was pleased to find that it was bread time and that the children were all in the playground. This would enable me to meet some members of staff. On entering the building, I was surprised to hear loud laughter coming from what appeared to be the masters’ common room. I could not help remembering the teach ers in my time, all dressed in black gowns (长袍) and high collars (领子). And above all, I recalled Mr Garston whom we had nicknamed “Mr Ghastly”, the headmaster who had iron discipline on staff and pupils alike. I knocked at the common room door and was welcomed by a smiling young man who introduced himself to me as the headmaster. He was dressed casually in a sports jacket, and his cheerful manner, quickly dispelled (驱散) the image of Mr Ghastly. After I had explained who I was, the headmaster presented me to the teachers all of whom were a little younger than himself, and said he would take me round the school.Here the biggest surprise of all was in store for me. Gone were the heavy desks of old with their deeply carved names; gone too, were the dark classrooms with their ink stained, dark brown walls, and their raised platforms for the teachers. The rooms now were painted in bright colors, and the children, far from sitting straight in their places, seemed almost free to do as they liked. I looked with envy as I remembered how, as a child, I had looked at the blackboard hardly daring to whisper to my neighbor.42. The writer ______.A. had no difficulty in recognizing his old schoolB. found it difficult to recognize his old schoolC. noticed that the building was still unfinishedD. was surprised to see an untidy gravel yard43.
