A funny thing happened on the way to the communication revolution: we stopped talking to each other. I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his mobile phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and – poof! – I was cut off as if I had become absent from the conversation.

The park was filled with people talking on their cell phones. They were passing people without looking at them, saying hello, noticing their babies or stopping to pat their dogs. It seems that the limitless electronic voice is preferred to human contact.

The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people feel absent. Recently I was in a car with three friends. The driver hushed the rest of us because he could not hear the person on the other end of his cell phone. There we were, four friends driving down the highway, unable to talk to each other because of the small thing designed to make communication easier.

Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a setback (退步) to the closeness of human interaction. With e-mail and instant message over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can make entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.

As almost every contact between human beings gets automatic, the emotional distance index goes up. Pumping gas at the station? Why say good-morning to the assistant when you can swipe you credit card at the pump and save yourself the bother of human contact? Making a deposit at the bank? Why talk to the clerk who lives in the neighborhood when you can put your card into the ATM?

More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn’t really have time to talk. The technology devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier.

I own a mobile phone, an ATM card, a voice-mail telephone, and an e-mail account. Giving them up isn’t a choice. They are great for what they are intended to do. It’s their unintended results that make me upset. What good is all this gee-whiz technology if there is no one in the room to hear you crying out “Gee whiz”? 1. The author’s experience of walking in a park with a friend recently made him feel _______A_____. A. unhappy B. funny C. wonderful

2. According to the author, human contact in a park means _____C______. A. looking at each other and saying hello when passing

B. noticing their babies and stopping to pat their dogs C. both A and B

3. According to the author, the more connected we get in communications technology, the _____B_____ we are. A. more automatic B. more disconnected C. closer

4. What are the examples the author gives to explain his idea that every advance in communications technology is a setback to the closeness of human interaction? C

A. With e-mail and instant message over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another.

B. With voice mail, you can make entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. C. All of the above.

5. What is the unintended result of communication technology, according to the author? B A. It makes communication easier and conversation possible everywhere.

B. It actually creates a distance between people instead of bringing them together. C. It makes human contacts limitless with electronic voices everywhere 短文理解2

Some people think they have an answer to the troubles of automobile crowding and dirty air in large cities. Their answer is the bicycle, or “bike”.

In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines.

For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bike riders. For example, they want the city to draw bicycle lanes on some of the main streets, because when bike riders have to use the same lanes as cars, there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes more people would use bikes.

But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea - they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.

The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. Only on weekends, Central Park is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown. 1. According to the passage, bicycles _____C______.

A. are more convenient than cars B. are safer traffic tools than cars C. are the solution to some city problems

2. The idea of special bicycle lanes is most favored by _____B______.

A. the city government B.some bike riders C.some store owners 3. “Bicycle lanes” in the third paragraph probably means _____C______. A. roads for bicycles only B. roads full of bicycles C. special parts of the road for bicycle riders only

4. Which of the following is not true according to the passage? A A. In New York City, many people use bikes as they have special lanes B. Sometimes accidents may occur when cars and bikes are on the same lanes. C. The Central Park is closed to cars on weekends. 5. The best title for this passage is _____C______.

A. Traffic Crowding in New York City B. Special Lanes for Passengers C. Solution to Traffic Problem in New York

Lily is 70 years old and she takes care of her 91-year-old mother. She told us about caring for her mother. I wake up early every day, it’s usually about 6.30 am, and wait until I hear Tilly, my mum, moving about. Then I make her a cup of tea. At about half past seven she gets up and we have breakfast together. We normally just have toast, but on Sundays we always have bacon and eggs. After breakfast she reads the newspaper, then she sits by the window and waves to the neighbours as they walk by.

She hardly ever goes out but she is very proud of her personal appearance, so she goes to the hairdresser once a month.

She doesn’t like being left on her own for very long, so I always arrange for a neighbour to come and sit with her when I go out. Now and again, my friend and neighbour, Joan, comes to spend the day with her, and I can go and have lunch with another friend, May, who lives in town.

I have a brother, Syd. He comes to stay two or three times a year. He is very good and keeps in touch, but he lives 300 miles away. Once a year, he collects mum and takes her to stay with him in London for a week. She doesn’t really like going because it’s a long journey, but I need the rest.

Sally, the nurse, comes to see mum regularly. My next-door neighbour, Jack, often calls in. In the evening we usually watch TV and we sometimes play cards. Mum is fantastic for her age. But I can never decide to go anywhere spontaneously. I always have to plan it, so I feel a bit trapped. But what is the alternative? An old people’s home? I couldn’t do that to my mother. 1. Lily wakes before her mother. T

2. Joan sometimes spends the day with Lily’s mother.T 3. Tilly is satisfied with her hairdresser. NG 4. Lily’s brother comes to visit every three weeks. F 5. Lily and her mother play cards more than they watch TV. F 第五部分 书面表达

Benjamin Disraeli, the famous nineteenth century prime minister, said, “London is not a city, - it is a nation.” Today this is an understatement; London, with its vast range of different ethnic groups, is a world.

Certainly, London is the most culturally diverse city in the world. The city was founded by the Romans and since then new arrivals have constantly added to its character and prosperity.

Within 10 years 40% of Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups, including the growing number of Londoners of mixed ethnic origin, but most of them will have been born in Britain.

Children of Caribbean-Chinese marriages will go to school with children of Russian-Irish couples. None of them will be English but all of them will be Londoners.

Most of Britain's ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300 languages.

Nearly all of the African population and many of the Caribbean population of Britain live in London (83% and 58% respectively); 39% of the Chinese population of Britain and 36% of the Asian population of Britain live in London.

The largest migrant community is from the Irish Republic with 256,000 people, 3.8% of the total population of London. There are an estimated 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers living in London, with most recent arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and Kurdistan.

Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of different and hybrid cultures.

They themselves often have several different ethnic identities since their parents and grandparents may come from several different backgrounds and their friends and partners do also. They are “skilled cross-cultural travelers” without leaving their home-town.

1．Why does the writer think that Benjamin Disraeli‟s statement is an understatement? Because he thinks London is ____B____.

A. a miniature world thanks to its great cultural diversity

B. even larger than some countries in the world C. not a nation at all

2. London is regarded as the most culturally diverse city in the world due to the following facts EXCEPT that _____C___. A. within 10 years 40% Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups B. many young people are immigrants from different backgrounds

C. London accommodates about 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers from many other countries 3. Ethnic minority groups will make up ___B____ of the London population in the future. A. 36% B. 40% C. 39%

4. The last paragraph mainly tells us in London ____A____.

A. young people feel at ease with a large number of diversified cultures B. young people are raised in a multicultural environment C. young people find it hard to adapt themselves to hybrid cultures 5. The passage mainly deals with ____C____.

A. the advantage of hybrid cultures in London B. the composition of the population in London C. the cultural diversity in London

A survey has shown that people have stopped believing both the media and politicians. A similar survey carried out 5 years ago showed that 50% o of people thought that what politicians said was usually not true, and that 35 0 o of people thought that what they saw on the television or read in newspapers was not true. Now both those figures have increased sharply, to 80% o of people not believing politicians and 70% o not believing the television or newspapers. Experts think that these figures are not going to come down in the near future.

Stories about politicians and journalists taking money from businessmen have caused the public to stop trusting them. Also politicians keep making promises that they do not keep. Mr. Smith of York said, „When the politicians make new laws, they only help their friends, not people like me‟．Mrs. Marley of Leeds said, „The newspapers and television are not interested in what is true; they are only interested in money for advertising'.

It has got worse recently as more people can get news from the Internet and learn if the journalists and politicians are telling the truth or not. What can our politicians and journalists do? The only answer is to be more honest. 26. The number of people believing politicians and journalists has____C___ . A. increased B. not changed C. decreased 27. Experts think this problem____B_____.

短文理解1 An Extraordinary Change of Direction

Molly Wilson had been a dancer and a mother for many years when she decided to sail round the world to raise money for charity.

As a child she had trained as a ballet dancer, but at 15 she had grown too tall for classical ballet, so she became a member of a pop dance team.

She got married, and after she had children she retired from show business to bring them up. They grew up, and when they were 18 they left home.

She says, \"When I decided to do the round-the-world race, my husband thought I was bored because the children had left home. He was also worried because I had never sailed before. I was not bored, but I had met some people who told me about the race. They had taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to Australia. I wanted to do the whole ten-month journey. \"

Before Molly left she did a lot of training, but it hadn' t prepared her for the worst weather which they experienced. She tells one story. \"One night the sea was very rough and it was very cold. I had gone downstairs when a huge wave smashed into the boat and injured two men on the deck. One of the men couldn't move because he had broken his leg. They were taken to hospital by helicopter. That was the worst time. \"

By the end of October last year, she had raised more than #50,000 for charity.

She says, \"Sometimes I ask myself, what did I do? How did I do it? But then I think, it's the same as being a dancer. Before I left on the trip, I had trained hard. I had got very fit and had prepared myself completely. Then on the trip I was simply a good team member. \"

26. What does the word \"extraordinary\" mean in the title? B

A. Very ordinary. B. Very unusual and surprising. C. Not special. D. Extreme. 27. The sentence “… my husband thought I was bored … in Para. 4 meant that my husband thought I felt_____A___. A. dissatisfied because I had nothing better to do at home

People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man's release of completely new and often artificial substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance, such as oil from oil tankers into the sea.

Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up three of four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which can't be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metal and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out

unnecessary buying, excess use and careless disposal of the products we use in our daily lives. 31. The main cause of pollution is_____A_____.

A. the release of artificial or natural substances into the environment B. the production of new industrial goods C. increased amounts of a natural substance D. our ever-increasing population

32. Much of the pollution could be controlled if only_____C_____. A. people would pay more attention to the problem B. governments would take effective measures C. all sides concerned would make more efforts D. farmers would use less artificial fertilizers

33. Food packages, bottles and tins for drinks can cause____B_____.

A. air and water pollution B. both a litter problem and a waster of resources C. to pay for the service D. to produce the receipt

34. Which of the following can not help solving the problem of pollution? B A. Cutting out unnecessary buying. B. Eating.

C. Reduce excess use. D. Carefully dispose our daily products. 35. What does the underlined word \"litter\" mean in paragraph 2? C

A. not many B. serious problem C. bits of waste things D. industrial pollution 短文理解3

Benjamin Disraeli, the famous nineteenth century prime minister, said, \"London is not a city, it is a nation.\" Today this is an understatement; London, with its vast range of different ethnic groups, is a world.

Certainly, London is the most culturally diverse city in the world. The city was founded by the Romans and since then new arrivals have constantly added to its character and prosperity.

Within 10 years 40% of Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups, including the growing number of Londoners of mixed ethnic origin, but most of them will have been born in Britain. Children of Caribbean-Chinese marriages will go to school with children of Russian-Irish couples. None of them will be English, but all of them will be Londoners.

Most of Britain's ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300 languages. Nearly all of the African population and many of the Caribbean population of Britain live in London (83% and 58% respectively); 39% of the Chinese population of Britain and 36% of the Asian population of Britain live in London. The largest migrant community is from the Irish Republic with 256,000 people, 3.8 % of the total population of London.

There are an estimated 330, 000 refugees and asylum seekers living in London, with most recent arrivals coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and Kurdistan.

Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of different and hybrid cultures. They themselves often have several different ethnic identities since their parents and grandparents may come from several different backgrounds, and their friends and partners do also. They are \"skilled cross-cultural travelers\" without leaving their home-town. 36. London is a nation. F

37. The city of London was founded by the Romans. T 38. All African population live in London. F

39. 39% of the total population of London are Chinese. F 40. Old people are also \"skilled cross-cultural travelers\". NG 第五部分 书面表达 41.

Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a passage to state your views on the topic My favorite means of transportation. You should write at least 80 words and base your writing on the Chinese outline below:

1) 哪一种是你最喜欢的交通方式？ 2) 阐述你的理由。 3) 作出结论。

In a modern city, there are many means of transportation, such as subway, taxi, bus and so on. But my favorite means of transportation is by bike.

First, riding a bike is good for keeping healthy. I spend one hour riding a bike to my office on my working day, and I think it is a good form of physical exercise. Secondly, it is money-saving. Recently, the private car drivers always complain the price of gas is higher and higher, but if you ride a bike, it will cost you nothing. Thirdly, it is beneficial for protecting the environment, so it is a \"green\" form of transportation.

Therefore, although it has some disadvantages, I like riding a bike best.

Some people think they have an answer to the troubles of automobile crowding and dirty air in large cities. Their answer is the bicycle，or \"bike\". In a great many cities，hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines.

·For several years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bike riders. For example, they want the city to draw bicycle lanes on some of the main street because when bike riders have to use the same lanes as cars，there are accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes more people would use bikes.

But no bicycle lanes have been drawn. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea-they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.

The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. Only on weekends，Central Park is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown.

26. According to the passage，bicycles_____D_____ ．

A. are more convenient than cars B. are safer traffic tools than cars C. are ridden by most people in the U. S D. are the solution to some city problems 27. The idea of special bicycle lanes is most favored by_____B______

A. the city government B. some bike riders C. people living far from downtown D. some store owners

28. \"Bicycle lanes\" in the third paragraph probably means ______C______ .

A. narrow passages between buildings for bicycles B. roads full of bicycles C. special parts of the road for bicycle riders only D. roads for bicycles only 29. Which of the following is not true according to the passage? D A. Bike for a Better City members ride bicycles to work.

B. Sometimes accidents may occur when cars and bikes are on the same lanes. C. The Central Park is closed to cars on weekends.

D. In New York City, many people use bikes as they have special lanes. 30. The best title for this passage is D

A. Traffic Crowding in New York City B. Air Pollution in New York City by Cars C. Special Lanes for Passengers D. Solution to Traffic Problem in New York 短文理解2

Who will stage the games?

Preparing for the Olympics Games is a huge undertaking. Just like the athletes，the host city spends years getting ready for the event. Before deciding which city will host the，Olympic Games，the International Olympic Committee（IOC) has to examine bids from all over the world. Bidding for the games begins about ten years in advance. Without preparing a very strong bid, a city will not win the competition to host the games. Beijing was chosen for the 2008 games from five bidders一Osaka，Paris，Toronto and Istanbul. Why does it take so long to prepare?

Building the infrastructure costs huge amounts of money. Holding the World Cup in 2002 in Japan and South Korea，for example，meant that ten new stadiums had to be built，as well as many hotels and an improved transport system. In Beijing, after winning the bid the government began major construction projects-the extension of the underground, the improvement of the airport and the building of new motorways. Each host city must also build an Olympic village for the athletes. By planting trees and creating parks，the city becomes more attractive for tourists. Why do countries want to host the Olympic Games?

Hosting the games has a major effect on the economy and brings international prestige to the country. Thousands and thousands of visitors come to the games and the host cities are permanently improved. 31. Bidding for the Olympic Games usually starts ____D____ before the games are really held. A. two years B. eight years C. one year D. ten years 32. Beijing was one of the _____B_____ bidders for the 2008 games.

A. four B. five C. ten D. three 33. The World Cup 2002 was held in _____D____ ．

A. Japan B. South Korea C. China D, A and B 34. What construction projects did Beijing start after winning the bid? D

A. The extension of the underground. B. The improvement of the airport. C. The building of new motorways. D. All of the above. 35. Why do countries want to host the Olympic Games? D A. Because it has a major effect on the economy. B. Because it brings international prestige to the country. C. Because the host cities are permanently improved. D. All of the above.

People who cannot tell all colors apart are said to be color blind. Most color-blind people can see yellow and blues, but confuse reds with greens. It is very rare for a person to be blind to all colors，but they may see everything in shades of black, white, and gray.

It is interesting to note that many color-blind people don‟t even realize that they are color-blind. They don't know that the colors they are seeing and naming are not the actual colors that people with normal vision can see. This can be particularly dangerous when a color-blind person confuses the red and green of a traffic light.

Color blindness is thought to be inherited（遗传）．And although doctors have thought up tests to determine（测定）color blindness, there is no cure to treatment for it.

36. A color-blind person can tell red and green apart correctly. F

37. Many color-blind people are unaware（没意识到）that they are color-blind. T

38. It's especially dangerous for a color-blind person to cross a street when there are no traffic lights at the cross of the streets. F 39. A color-blind person is not allowed to drive. NG

Dear Jennifer,

Thank you for telling me about yourself. I’d like to let you know more about me too.

As a child，I wanted to be a detective. I thought a detective was really great because he could solve criminal cases to do justice. But my dream never came true. I’m now a librarian, dealing with books every day. The work is nothing thrilling，but I like it. Since there are more and more electronic materials，I hope that we will have an e-library built soon. Looking forward to hearing from you again.

Best wishes，

Ian

People all over the world today are beginning to hear and learn more and more about the problem of pollution. Pollution is caused either by man‟s release of completely new and often artificial (人造的) substances into the environment, or by releasing greatly increased amounts of a natural substance (物质)，such as oil from oil tankers into the sea.

Whatever its underlying reasons, there is no doubt that much of the pollution caused could be controlled if only companies, individuals and governments would make more efforts. In the home there is an obvious need to control litter and waste. Food comes wrapped up three of four times in packages that all have to be disposed of; drinks are increasingly sold in bottles or tins which can‟t be reused. This not only causes a litter problem, but also is a great waste of resources, in terms of glass, metal and paper. Advertising has helped this process by persuading many of us not only to buy things we neither want nor need, but also to throw away much of what we do buy. Pollution and waste combine to be a problem everyone can help to solve by cutting out unnecessary buying, excess use and careless disposal (处理) of the products we use in our daily lives. 1. The main cause of pollution is _____A____.

A. the release of artificial or natural substances into the environment B. the production of new industrial goods C. increased amounts of a natural substance

2. Much of the pollution could be controlled if only _____C____.

A. farmers would use less artificial fertilizers B. governments would take effective measures C. all sides concerned would make more efforts

3. Food packages, bottles and tins for drinks can cause ____B_____.

A. air and water pollution B. both a litter problem and a waster of resources C. to pay for the service 4. Which of the following can not help solving the problem of pollution?C

A. Cutting out unnecessary buying. B. Reduce excess use C. Eating.

5. What does the underlined word “litter” mean in paragraph 2?C

A. Bits of waste things B. serious problem C. industrial pollution

The ancient Olympic Games were part of a religious festival in honour of the Greek god Zeus, the father of all Greek gods and goddesses. The festival and games were held in Olympia, a religious sanctuary. The athletes came to Olympia from all parts of the Greek world, from as far as Spain in the west and Turkey in the east.

The ancient Olympic Games began in the year 776 BC when Koroibos, a cook from the city of Elis, won a 200-metre-long race. They took place for a period of 617 years until the last games were held in AD 393.

In the ancient games, athletes received prizes worth large amounts of money. In fact the word “ athlete ” is an ancient Greek word, meaning “ one who competes for a prize ”. Although women did not compete in the games, there was a separate festival held at the same time in honour of Hera, wife of Zeus. At this festival unmarried girls competed in foot races.

The marathon was not an event of the ancient Olympic Games. The marathon is a modern event that was first introduced in the Olympic Games in 1896. It was named after a village called Marathon where the Persians were defeated by a small Greek army. The news of the victory was brought to Athens by soldier, who ran the 26 miles from the village of Marathon to the capital. 26 miles was therefore adopted as the distance of the modern marathon race.

The Olympic flag was introduced in 1908 and carries the symbol of five linked rings. Which represent the five continents – Africa, America, Asia, Australasia and Europe. The Olympic flame was first carried in the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. There was no torch relay in the ancient Olympic Games. The first torch relay in the modern Olympic Games was staged in Berlin in 1936.
