The idea of
becoming a writer had come to me since my childhood, but it wasn’t until my
third year in high school 36 I was sure I could 37 . Until then
I’d been 38 by everything with English. I found grammar dull and I 39
the homework.
However,
things changed when one day Mr. Fleagle -- my third-year English teacher handed
out a homework sheet 40 us a choice of topic for writing essays for the
week . As usual I took the list home and did 41 until the night before
the essay was done. Lying on the sofa, I finally faced up to the 42 task
and the 43 on which my eyes stopped was “The Art of Eating Spaghetti(意大利面)”. Soon it recalled me of the
beautiful and vivid 44 of one night when my family were seated around
the supper table, eating 45.Suddenly I wanted to put it down 46 for
my own joy even if I would break the rules of formal essay I’d learned in
school and Mr. Fleagle 47 surely give it a 48 grade. Two days passed 49 Mr Fleagle returned the graded
paper and he returned everyone’s 50 mine. I was 51 myself for an
order from Mr. Fleagle to remain after school for punishment when I saw him
lift my paper and knock for the class’s attention.
To
my 52 , he started to read my words! The entire class laughed with
open-hearted enjoyment.
I
did my best to 53 showing my
pleasure, but what I was feeling was pure delight that my words had the 54 to
make people laugh. When Mr Fleagle finished, he made my happiness 55 by
saying, “ Congratulations Mrs. Baker.”

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
My secret of
staying young is quite simple: devote your attention to the part of you that’s
young and growing---your brain. Keep your mind awake and you will stay young
all over. These are exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you,
and make a point of learning one new thing every day.
No matter how old
you are, it’s not too late to make your life more interesting . I know a
housewife without knowledge in the past who made herself into an excellent
industrial designer. I know an old electrical engineer who ahs become a highly
paid artist.
Get over the idea
that you are too old to go back to school. I know a man who entered a medical
college at 70. he got his degree with honors and became a famous doctor. Anther
man went to a law school at 71 and now is an active lawyer.
No matter how old
people are, staying young is easy for these who live in the future. You can do
it if you are active enough to try. Keep your mind active and awake: that’s the
only youth elixir
56．Which of the
following is the main idea of the passage?
A．Staying young
is the only youth elixir B．Learning at least one new thing every day
C．Never too
late to go back to school
D．The secret of staying young
57．The implied
meaning of the passage is that _____.
A．anyone can learn to do something no
matter how old he may be.
B．The electrical engineer learned to
be an artist to become famous.
C．The man who entered the medical
college at 70 came out at top of the list.
D．Every one can be successful if you
try to learn no matter how old he may be.
58．The word
“elixir” in the last sentence probably means something that can keep people
____.
A．healthy B．wealthy C．young D．happy
B
Throughout the history of life, there have been
many major upheavals(剧变) in which whole groups of animals were replaced by others. Perhaps
the most famous was the replacement of the dinosaurs by the mammals 65 million
years ago. Anther major change occurred 150 million years earlier, when the
dinosaurs took over the position of dominance that had been held for 80 million
years by mammal like reptiles（爬行动物）.
What triggered these great upheavals?
Scientific thinking about the various factors that might have been responsible
for such replacements has undergone some significant changes of its own. At
times, for example, scientists have suggested that mammals caused the
extinction of the dinosaurs by eating their eggs or by competing for the same
food resources. Now , however, most people are convinced that the mammals
played only a minor role, if any(largely because both groups had lived side by
side for millions of years), and that, instead, environmental change was
primarily responsible. The mammals apparently sat around for 150 million years
in the Mesozoic undergrowth until , with the extinction of the dinosaurs, they
had their opportunity to radiate into the available niches（处所）.
59．The animal
groups mentioned in the passage assumed(假定) dominance in which order?
A．Mammals like reptiles, mammals,
dinosaurs
B．Mammals, mammals like reptiles,
dinosaurs
C．Dinosaurs, mammals like reptiles,
mammals
D．Mammals like reptiles, dinosaurs,
mammals
60．According to
the passage, for how many million years had the dinosaurs held a position of dominance? A．65 B．85 C．150 D．230
61．What does the
underlined phrase mean in the last paragraph according to the passage?
A．struggled for millions of years in
the available Mesozoic undergrowth
B．could spread out into new territory
due to the extinction of dinosaurs
C．had the ability to emit(发出) light into the niches
D．had to find other niches because of
the radiation of the sun.
62．Which of the
following about scientific theories is implied by the author?
A．They have
changed considerably throughout their history
B．They concern
only the division of reptile groups
C．They put
little emphasis on prehistoric climatic conditions
D．They do not
account for the development of the Mesozoic undergrowth.
C
What exactly is a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is
untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants
to borrow some money from you. You say “I wish I could help you but I’m short
of money myself.” In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the
habit of not paying his debts and you don’t want to hurt his feelings by
reminding him of this. Is this really a lie?
Professor
Jerald Jullion of the University of Southern California has made a scientific
study of lying. According to him, women are better liars than men, particularly
when telling a “white lie” , such as when a woman at a party tells another
woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks awful. However,
this is only one side of the story. Others researchers say that men are more
likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no
intention of fulfilling . This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen
are supposed to be particularly skilled at; the lie from which the liar hopes
to profit or gain in some way .
Research has
also been done into the changes of people’s behavior in a number of small ,
clearly unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are
sitting down at the time they tend to move about in their chairs more than
usual. To the trained observer they are saying “I wish I were somewhere else
now”. They also tend to touch certain parts of the face more often, in
particular the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight
increase in blood pressure. The nose is very sensitive to such changes and the
increased pressure makes it itch(发痒).
Another
gesture which gives liars away is that the writer Desmond Morris in his book
Man watching calls “the mouth cover”. He says there are several typical forms
of this, such as covering part of the mouth with fingers, touching the
upper-lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side of the month. Such a
gesture can be understood as an unconscious attempt on the part of the liar to
stop himself or herself from lying.
Of course,
such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth, or moving about in a
chair cannot be taken as proof that the speaker is lying. They simply tend to
occur more frequently in this situation. It is not one gesture alone that gives
the context in which the lie is told.
63．According to
the passage , a “white lie” seems to be a lie ___.
A．that other people believe
B．that other people don’t believe
C．told
in order to avoid offending someone D．told in order to take advantage of
someone
64．Research
suggests that women ____.
A．are better at telling lies than men
do B．generally lie far more than men
C．often
make promises they intend to break D． lie to make profit from it
65．Researchers
find that when a person tells lies ____.
A．his blood pressure increases
measurably B．he looks very serious
C．he tends to make some small changes
in his behaviors
D．he uses his unconscious mind
66．One reason
people sometimes rub their noses when they lies is that ____.
A．they wish they were somewhere else
B．the nose is
sensitive to physical changes caused by lying
C．they want to
cover their mouths
D．they are
trying to stop themselves from telling lies
67．Which of the following may best
betray(背叛) a liar?
A．The touching
of the tip of one’s nose B．The change of one’s behaviors
C．“The mouth
cover ‘ gesture
D．The situations in which his lies
are told

Television in the United States is free. To pay

short plays with actors. The following television advertisement is like many

him. Today, she is using a new kind of coffee for the first time. The husband
picks up his cup. He isn’t very interested. He tastes his coffee. Suddenly he
puts down his newspaper. Something is different . Can it be the coffee? He
takes another taste. It’s wonderful. He takes another taste. It’s wonderful. He
smiles. He looks at his wife and says in amazement, “Doris, when did you cut
your hair?” Doris is pleased. She answers, “Two months ago.” Doris asked,
“Herbie, when did your hair begin to turn gray?” He replies, “A long time ago.”

It doesn’t
matter whether you believe rap(说唱) words have a lot of meat in them. McDonald’s does.
And now the fast food giant is prepared to put its
money where music stars’ mouths are , by paying rap artists who mention the Big
Mac in their songs $5 every time their work is played on the radio down south.
At first glance it seems like the kind of
offer that would be instantly rejected by top artists like 50 Cent or Snoop Dogg.
But they’ve done product placement words in some of their music before, and if
a song were to become a huge hit, that $5 fee could rapidly turn into a small
fortune.
The idea is part of the restaurant chain’s
marketing policy to reach a younger crowd. Under the deal , the company would
be able to refuse any words that it felt was unsuitable, but would leave the
method of including the mention up to the individual artist.
McDonald’s has hired a marketing firm called
Maven Strategies to mix the meat with the beat.
And it’s familiar subject for the ad
specialists--- they managed to get a Seagram’s gin product mentioned in five
hit songs last year, which is what attracted the food giant in the first place.
Product placement is becoming an increasingly
common tool for advertisers in movie and TV, as more consumers selectively pick
up commercials simply by hitting the remote control during breaks in their
favorite show.
They believe this latest Big Mac attack will be
one message you can’t take no notice of.
But many groups are already upset by the
McDonald’s plan, arguing the chain promotes childhood fatness with its fast
food, and that having kids’ music heroes exactly sing its praises will not only
fatten company bank account, but the younger generation as well.
72．The
underlined word in the first paragraph “does” means ____.
A．believes B．matters C．has D．prepares
73．From the
passage, we learn that ____.
A．It is McDonald’s that decides on
how to get Big Mac added in words.
B．MacDonald’s request of words
placement was turned down before.
C．MacDonald’s comes up with the idea
from the success of another business.
D．MacDonald’s is getting used to such
a common advertising tool.
74．The reason
for the use of product placement by MacDonald’s is that ___.
A．the idea is well accepted among
fast food eaters
B．people like to watch product
placement advertisement
C．it is a popular tool with
advertisers
D．young generation consider it as a
show they like best.
75．Which of the following statements
is true?
A．Some groups
are against McDonald’s plan for its bad influence on child educating.
B．The food
company sings praises for kid’s music heroes.
C．50 Cent or
Snoop Dogg will get rich if they eat at McDonald’s too often.
D．Singers act
as a role model for youngsters in many ways.
