            • 1． Technological change is everywhere and affects every aspect of life，mostly for the better．However，social changes are brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes．
              An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who are attending college．Surveys （调查） on this topicsuggests that parents today continue to be“very”or“somewhat”overly-protective even after their children move into college dormitories．The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago．This usually interpreted as a sign that today’s parents are trying to manage their children’s lives past the point where this behavior is appropriate．
              However，greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their“adult”children．
              In the context （背景） of this discussion，it seems valuable to firstfind out the cause of change in the case of parents’involvement withtheir grown children．If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently，would thishave been possible？Probably not．On the other hand，does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasn’t present a generation ago？Many studies show that older parents-today’s grandparents-would have called theirchildren more often if the means and cost of doing so had not beena barrier．
              Furthermore，studies show that finances are the most frequentsubject of communication between parents and their collegechildren．The fact that college students are financially dependent ontheir parents is nothing new； nor are requests for more money to besent from home．This phenomenon is neither good nor bad； it is afact of college life，today and in the past．
              Thanks to the advanced technology，we live in an age of bettered communication．This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college．But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desireby parents to keep their children under their wings．
              67．The surveys inform us of    ．
              A．the development of technology
              B．the changes of adult children’s behavior
              C．the parents’over-protection of their college children
              D．the means and expenses of students’communication
              68．The writer believes that    ．
              A．parents today are more protective than those in the past
              B．the disadvantages of new technology outweigh its advantages
              C．technology explains greater involvement with their children
              D．parents’changed attitudes lead to college children’s delayed independence
              69．What is the best title for the passage？    
              A．Technology or Attitude

            • 2． “I will never marry”the future Elizabeth I declared at the age of eight，and，to the terror of her people，the Great Queen kept her word．
              For four centuries，historians have guessed why Elizabeth never married．In her own day，her decision to remain single was considered absurd and dangerous．A queen needed a husband to make political decisions for her and to organize and lead her military campaigns．More importantly，she needed male heirs （继承人） to avoid a civil war after her death．
              There was no shortage of suitors for the Queen，both English courtiers （朝臣） and foreign princes，and it was confidently expected for the best part of 30years that Elizabeth would eventually marry one of them．Indeed，although she insisted that she preferred the single state，she kept these suitors in a state of permanent expectation．This was a deliberate policy on the Queen's part，since by keeping foreign princes in hope，sometimes for a decade，she kept them friendly when they might otherwise have made war on her kingdom．
              There were，indeed，good political reasons for her avoiding marriage．The disastrous union of her sister Mary I to Philip II of Spain had had an unwelcome foreign influence upon English politics．The English were generally prejudiced against the Queen taking a foreign husband，particularly a Catholic（天主教的） one．Yet if she married an English，jealousy might lead to the separation of the court．
              She once pointed out that marriage seemed too uncertain a state for her．Her father，Henry VIII，had had her mother，Anne Boleyn，killed； her stepmother Catherine Howard later suffered the same fate．
              Elizabeth had to decide her priorities．Marriage or being single？Elizabeth was far too intelligent．The choice she made was courageous and revolutionary，and，in the long run，the right one for England．

              49．To the suitors including English courtiers and foreign princes，Elizabeth    ．
              A．held back the truth
              B．kept them expecting on purpose
              C．gave a definite answer“no”
              D．said she preferred the single state
              50．If Elizabeth had married a foreign prince，there might have been    ．
              A．prejudice against her
              B．separation of the court
              C．a negative impact on English politics
              D．jealousy among English courtiers
              51．Which of the following implications is right according to the passage
                  ？
              A．Elizabeth’s marriage seemed too certain a state for her．
              B．Some foreign princes made war on Britain．
              C．Catherine Howard was killed by Anne Boleyn．
              D．Queen Elizabeth was not a Catholic．
              52．What is the attitude of the author towards Queen Elizabeth never marrying in her life
                  ？
              A．Negative．
              B．Approving．
              C．Pitiful．
              D．Neutral．

            • 3． We’ve reached a strange-some would say unusual-point．While fighting world hunger continues to be the matter of vital importance according to a recent report from the World Health Organization （WHO），more people now die from being overweight，or say，from being extremely fat，than from being underweight．It’s the good life that’s more likely to kill us these days．
              　　Worse，nearly l8 million children under the age of five around the world are estimated to be overweight．What’s going on？
              　　We really don’t have many excuses for our weight problems．The dangers of the problem have been drilled into us by public-health campaigns since 2001 and the message is getting through-up to a point．
              　　In the 1970s，Finland，for example，had the highest rate of heart disease in the world and being overweight was its main cause．Not any more．A public-health campaign has greatly reduced the number of heart disease deaths by 80 per cent over the past three decades．
              　　Maybe that explains why the percentage of people in Finland taking diet pills doubled between 2001 and 2005，and doctors even offer surgery of removing fat inside and change the shape of the body．That has become a sort of fashion．No wonder it ranks as the world’s most body-conscious country．
              　　We know what we should be doing to lose weight-but actually doing it is another matter．By far the most popular excuse is not taking enough exercise．More than half of us admit we lack willpower．
              　　Others blame good food．They say：it’s just too inviting and it makes them overeat．Still others lay the blame on the Americans，complaining that pounds have piled on thanks to eating too much American-style fast food．
              　　Some also blame their parents-their genes．But unfortunately，the parents are wronged because they’re normal in shape，or rather slim．
              　　It’s a similar story around the world，although people are relatively unlikely to have tried to lose weight．Parents are eager to see their kids shape up．Do as I say-not as I do．
              59．What is the“strange”point mentioned in the first sentence？    
              A．The good life is a greater risk than the bad life．
              B．Starvation is taking more people’s lives in the world．
              C．WHO report shows people’s unawareness of food safety．
              D．Overweight issue remains unresolved despite WHO’s efforts．
              60．Why does the author think that people have no excuse for being overweight？
                  
              A．A lot of effective diet pills are available．
              B．Body image has nothing to do with good food．
              C．They have been made fully aware of its dangers．
              D．There are too many overweight people in the world．
              61．The example of Finland is used to illustrate    
              A．the cause of heart disease                       　　      
              B．the fashion of body shaping
              C．the effectiveness of a campaign               　　      
              D．the history of a body-conscious country
              62．Which would be the best title for the passage？    
              A．Actions or Excuses？
              B．Overweight or Underweight？
              C．WHO in a Dilemma                              　　      
              D．No Longer Dying of Hunger．

            • 4． You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator．When you choose to be a victim，the world is a cold and difficult place．“They”did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering．“They”are wrong and bad，and life is terrible as long as“they”are around．Or you may blame yourself for all your problems，thus internalizing（内化）your victimization．The truth is，your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others．
              Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently．They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives，but they don’t let this get in the way．They know they have their weaknesses，yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail．Whatever happens，they have choice in the matter．They believe their dance with each sacred（神圣的）moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth．
              Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities，yet their experience of life is worlds apart．Victims relish （沉溺）in anger，guilt，and other emotions that cause others---and even themselves---to feel like victims，too．Creators consciously choose love，inspiration，and other qualities which inspire not only themselves，but all around them．Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives．
              In reality，all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives．One person，on losing a job or a special relationship，may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months，years，or even a lifetime．Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief，then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life．
              In every moment and every circumstance，you can choose to have fuller，richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within，and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are．

              51．What does the word“they”in Paragraph 1probably refer to？    ．
              A．People and things around you．
              B．Opportunities and problems．
              C．Creators and their choices．
              D．Victims and their sufferings．
              52．According to Paragraph 2，creators    ．
              A．seem willing to experience failures in life
              B．possess the ability to predict future life
              C．handle ups and downs of life wisely
              D．have potential to create something new
              53．What can we learn from Paragraph 3？    ．
              A．Creators and victims face quite different things in life．
              B．Creators and victims are masters of their lives．
              C．Victims can influence more people than creators．
              D．Compared with victims，creators are more emotional．
              54．The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4show that    ．
              A．strong attachment to sufferings in life pulls people into victims．
              B．people need family support to deal with challengers in life．
              C．it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains．
              D．one’s experiences determine his attitude toward life．
              55．What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage？    ．
              A．To define victims and creators．
              B．To evaluate victims against creators．
              C．To explain the relationship between victims and creators．
              D．To suggest the transformation from victims to creators．

            • 5． What makes a gift special？Is it the price you see on the gift receipt？Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value？What gift is worth the most？
              This Christmas I was debating what to give my father．My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything．I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked．The message was from my father．My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming．and underneath a poem by William Blake．The flower，a lone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky，inspired me．My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid．That may even be the reason why I love writing．I decided that those words would be my gift to my father．
              I called back．I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift．I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it．As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind．The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe； my dad recited it as much as he did the other．I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it．The poem was focused around dreaming，and after searching I found the perfect picture．The image was painted with blues and greens and purples，twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream．As I watched both poems passing through the printer，the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood．I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate．
              Christmas soon arrived．The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame，I knew I had given the perfect gift．

              56．The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was    ．

            • 6． Spring is coming，and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs．Competition is tough，so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices．Whatever we are wearing，our family and friends may accept us，but the workplace may not．
              A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos （纹身）nose rings，or certain dress styles．It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover，yet people do“cover”themselves in order to convey （传递）certain messages．What we wear，including tattoos and nose rings，is an expression of who we are．Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances»so do companies．Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons，but the main concern is often about what customers accept．
              Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom，but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money．Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees （雇员），because those people represent the companies to their customers．
              As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers．There are plenty of well-qualified candidates，so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers．Even though I am open-minded，I can’t expect all our customers are．
              There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer．No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply cause he or she is unwilling to respect its standards，as long as its standards are legal．

              57．Which of the following is the newspaper editor’opinion according to Paragraph 2？    
              A．People’s appearances carry messages about themselves．
              B．Customers’choices influence dress standards in companies．
              C．Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated．
              D．Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace．
              58．What can be inferred from the text？    
              A．Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview．
              B．What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies．
              C．Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates．
              D．Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates．
              59．Which of the following would be the best title for the text？    
              A．Employees Matter  
              B．Personal Choices Matter
              C．Appearances Matter  
              D．Hiring Managers Matter
              60．The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as    ．
              A．enthusiastic  
              B．negative

            • 7． If Confucius（孔子）were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28birthday with a big cake，there would be a lot of candles．IIe’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out．
              While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day，few people in the United States will give him a passing thought．It’s nothing personal．Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes．
              But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius．In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China．
              In the past two decades，the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities．More recently，the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80countries．These schools teach both Chinese language and culture．The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art，history and philosophy（哲学）．Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy．Students in the United States，at the same time，are racing to learn Chinese．So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States．Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers．
              So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well．
              Today China attracts the West more than ever，and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West．
              As for the old thinker，he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West，even if his birthday is．

              64．The opening paragraph is mainly intended to    
              A..provide some key facts about Confucius
              B．attract the readers’interest in the subject
              C．show great respect for the ancient thinker
              D．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations
              65．We can learn from Paragraph 4that American students    
              A．have a great interest in studying Chinese
              B．take an active part in Chinese competitions
              C．try to get high scores in Chinese exams
              D．fight for a chance to learn Chinese

              D．Old Thinker with a Big Future

            • 8． Grown-ups are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practiced ever since．A man who has not had a chance to go swimming for years can still swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water．He can get on a bicycle after many years and still ride away．He can play catch and hit a ball as well as his son．A mother who has not thought about the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins“Twinkle，twinkle，little star“or remember the story of Cinderella or Goldilocks and the Three Bears．
              One explanation is the law of overlearning，which can be stated as follows：Once we have learned something，additional learning trials increase the length of time we will remember it．
              In childhood we usually continue to practice such skills as swimming，bicycle riding，and playing baseball long after we have learned them．We continue to listen to and remind ourselves of words such as“Twinkle，twinkle，little star“and childhood tales such as Cinderella and Goldilocks．We not only learn but overlearn．
              The multiplication tables（乘法口诀表）are an exception to the general rule．that we forget rather quickly the things that we learn in school，because they are another of the things we overlearn in childhood．
              The law of overlearning explains why cramming（突击学习）for an examination，though it may result in a passing grade，is not a satisfactory way to learn a college course．By cramming，a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination，but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned．A little overlearning，on the other hand，is really necessary for one's future development．

              67．What is the main idea of Paragraph 1？    
              A．People remember well what they learned in childhood．
              B．Children have a better memory than grown-ups．
              C．Poem reading is a good way to learn words．
              D．Stories for children are easy to remember．
              68．The author explains the law of overlearning by    ．
              A．presenting research findings
              B．setting down general rules
              C．making a comparison
              D．using examples
              69．According to the author，being able to use multiplication tables is    ．
              A．a result of overlearning
              B．a special case of cramming
              C．a skill to deal with math problems
              D．a basic step towards advanced studies
              70．What is the author's opinion on cramming？    
              A．It leads to failure in college exams．
              B．It's helpful only in a limited way．
              C．It's possible to result in poor memory．
              D．It increases students'learning interest．

            • 9． Wilderness
              “In wilderness（荒野） is the preservation of the world．”This is a famous saying from a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism．The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection：whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved．
              As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out，there is a strong appeal in images of the wild，the untouched； more than anything else，they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly．The urge to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong，and the danger exploitation（开发） brings to such landscapes（景观） is real．Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans need-the rainforests，for example，store carbon in vast quantities．To Mr．Sauven，these”ecosystem services”far outweigh the gains from exploitation．
              Lee Lane，a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute，takes the opposing view．He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services，such as water conservation．But that is not，he argues，a reason to avoid all human presence，or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation．There are ever more people on the Earth，and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives，rather than merely struggle for survival．While the ways of using resources have improved，there is still a growing need for raw materials，and some wildernesses contain them in abundance．If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide，the argument goes，there is no further reason not to do so．Being untouched is not，in itself，a characteristic worth valuing above all others．
              I look forwards to seeing these views taken further，and to their being challenged by the other participants．One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly．And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm．
              This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings，but also the guidance of reason．What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking．

              67．John Sauven holds that    ．
              A．many people value nature too much
              B．exploitation of wildernesses is harmful
              C．wildernesses provide humans with necessities
              D．the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong
              68．What is the main idea of Para.3？    
              A．The exploitation is necessary for the poor people．
              B．Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials．
              C．Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation．
              D．All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally．
              69．What is the author’s attitude towards this debate？    
              A．Objective．     B．Disapproving．
              C．Sceptical．     D．Optimistic．

            • 10． My color television has given me nothing but a headache．I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me  money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit．I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model，I realized this a day late，when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid，The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed offfor the night，Fortunately，I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed．
              Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static （静电） noise．For some reason，when certain shows switched into a commercial，a loud noise would sound for a few seconds．Gradually，this noise began to appear during a show，and to get rid of it，I had to change to another channel and then change it back．Sometimes this technique would not work，and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound．I actually began to build up my arm muscles（肌肉） shaking my set．
              When neither of these methods removed the static noise，I would sit helplessly and  wait for the noise to go away．At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist，and it stopped working altogether．My trip to the repair shop cost me $62，and the set is working well now，but I keep expecting more trouble．

              21．Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set？    
              A．He got an older model than he had expected．
              B．He couldn’t return it when it was broken．
              C．He could have bought it at a lower price．
              D．He failed to find any movie shows on it．
              22．Which of the following can best replace the phrase”signed off”in Paragraph 1？    
              A．ended all their programs
              B．provided fewer channels
              C．changed to commercials
              D．showed all-night movies
              23．How did the author finally get his TV set working again？    
              A．By shaking and hitting it．
              B．By turning it on and off．
              C．By switching channels．
              D．By having it repaired．
              24．How does the author sound when telling the story？    
              A．Curious
              B．Anxious
