第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）
The
sun was shining when I got on No. 151 bus. We passengers sat jammed in heavy
clothes. No one spoke. That’s one of the 36
rules. 37 we see
the same faces every day, we prefer to 38 behind our newspapers. People who
sit so close together are using those thin sheets of newsprint to keep their 39.
As
the bus came near the Mile, a 40
suddenly rang out, “ 41 !
This is your driver speaking.” We looked at the back of the driver’s head. “Put
your papers down. All of you.” The 42 came down. “Now , turn and face the
person next to you. Go 43 .”
Surprisingly
we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an older woman, her head wrapped in a red scarf. I saw
her 44 every day. Our eyes met. We waited for
the next 45 from the driver. “Now repeat after me.
Good morning, neighbour!”
Our
voices were 46 . For many of
us, these were the 47 words we had spoken that day.
But we said them together, like 48 , to the strangers beside us. We
couldn’t help 49 . There was
the feeling of relief (解脱) that we were not being robbed. Moreover, there was the sense of
ice
being 50 . “Good
morning, neighbour.” It was not so 51 after all.
The bus driver said nothing more. He didn’t 52 to. Not a single newspaper went back up.
I
heard laughter, a warm sound I had never heard before in 53 .
When I reached my stop, I said 54 to my seatmate, and then jumped off the
bus. That day I
was 55 off happily.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
Usually a company’s troubles are
over when it introduces a new product that flies off the
shelves. But the new Play Station Portable(PSP) may cause a problem
for Sony Corp. that other
business wish they had: whether it can produce enough product to
meet the demand.
Stores
in the United States such as Best Buy and Circuit City said they would sell out
their
first stocks of the tiny gaming device. Here in New Zealand gamers
who just couldn’t wait to get
their hands on the new product which costs about $300, lined up
outside local electronics stores
before the product was officially introduced at one minute after
midnight Thursday.
Sony management said three million units would be shipped out worldwide
by the end of the
month.
Game fans will have 24 stores to pick from and that number will grow rapidly
before the holiday season arrives. This gadget is so popular because, apart
from being able to play your favorite video game on the subway on your way into
work, you can listen to music , download photos and watch movies on a new
complete mini disc format. Disney has plans to release (发行) a number of movies for the PSP,
which is expected to compete with Apple’s highly popular iPod.
Sony is hoping the new product will ensure the company keeps
bringing in profits while it makes some big changes to its central electronics
and movie businesses. Clearly as the prices of DVD
recorders, camcorders and flat screen TVs continue to fall, so do
the company’s earnings.
56．What is the
trouble for Sony company?
A．The game devices that are on sale
for only $300.
B．The product that remains on the shelves
C．Game lover’s high demand that can’t
be met
D．More popularity of Apple’s
iPod
57．From the third paragraph we can
know that ____.
A．in the US many stores prefer
iPod
B．Best Buy and Circuit City have no
PSPs in stock
C．in New Zealand PSPs are displayed
outside the stores before Thursday
D．PSP had a bright future in many
countries
58．What will
Sony do to deal with its problem?
A．Close its stores in the US B．Change its “on sale” policy greatly
C．Put more products on the shelves D．Open more stores worldwide
59．The
underlined word can be replaced by ____.
A．store B．stock C．PSP D．iPod
B
They cannot vote which nations should have a
seat on the United Nations Security Council(安
理会), but ordinary people have shown
their feelings. By Tuesday afternoon, over 11.5 million
people in and outside China had signed an online petition(请愿) saying Japan should not succeed
in
its bid(申请) for an everlasting seat on the Security Council.
The loud call is due to the historical facts
in World War II. Some Japanese politicians said
their country is ready to play a more active role in global affairs,
and their country’s contribution
can no longer be limited to financial aspects.
The petition by 11.5 million people tells
Japan that money alone cannot buy their hearts.
A new history textbook that a right-wing
Japanese organization has submitted(服从) for
official agreement goes so far as to paint Japan as a “victim” in
World War II. Its authors even say
that China started all the wars between the two countries.
Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi
turned down an invitation to a grand party in
Moscow on May 9 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the
end of War World II, Koizumi”s absence
will do nothing but encourage more probes(追究) into his country’s historical
baggage.
Japanese politicians continue to visit the
Yasukuni Shrine . Wartime leader
and war criminal
Kideki Tojo, as well as five other hanged war criminals, are buried
at the shrine. They talk about
peace
during the visits and ask their Asian neighbours to understand Japanese
culture, which requires them to visit Shinto shrines to mark seasonal
celebrations. But they don’t see the pains that the Japanese invasion(侵略) brought on other Asian
countries. How can a nation sleep with such a history on its conscience(良心)? The amount of money Japan gives
the United Nations does not necessarily give the country the role in
international affairs. Neither will an everlasting seat on the Security Council
free Japan from its historical baggage.
60．According to
some Japanese politicians their visits to Shinto Shrines are due to ____.
A．the fact that the six World War II
criminals were buried there
B．the intention that Japan wants to
get an everlasting seat on the Security Council
C．the requirement of Japanese
cultures
D．the probes of the war criminals
61．The 11.5
million people signed an online petition to ____.
A．stop Japan from bidding an
everlasting seat on the Security Council
B．express their feelings that they
didn’t want Japan to win its bid
C．honor the people who died in World
War II
D．support the idea that Japan should
give the UN more money.
62．In a new
Japanese history book _____.
A．the Japanese are described as
right-wing people
B．many victims submitted the
agreement in World War II
C．Japanese government has signed the
agreement officially
D．China is considered to have been
responsible for the war.
63．Which of the
following descriptions about Japan is NOT true?
A．The government refused an
invitation to the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II
B．It wants to get an everlasting seat
on the Security Council
C．It wants more probes into its
historical baggage.
D．It gives the UN much money.

For millions of people, the American dream of owning a home seems to
be slipping out of reach.
“Maybe
young couples can no longer afford to buy a ready-made house as their parents
did, “ says 40-year-old building instructor Pat Hennin. “But they can still
have a home. Like their pioneer ancestors, they can build it themselves , and at
less than half the cost of a ready-made house.
The owner-builders came from every
occupational group, although surprisingly few are professional building
workers. Many take the plunge with little or no experience . “I learned
how to build my house from reading books,” says John Brown, who built a
six-room home for $25,000 in High Falls, New Jersey. “If you have patience and
the carpentry(木匠) skill to
make a bookcase, you can build a house.” An astonishing 50 percent of these
owner builders hammer every nail, lay every pipe, and wire every switch with
their own hands. The rest contract for some parts of the task. But even those
who just act as contractors and finish the insides of their homes can save from
30 percent to 45 percent of what a ready-made home would cost.
One survey revealed
that 60 percent of owner-builders also design their homes. Many others buy
commercial house planes for less than $100 or use plans available from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture.
67．What is the
main subject of the passage?
A．The cost of having a house
built
B．A comparison between young couples
and their parents.
C．The American dream of owning a
house
D．A description of owner-builders in
America
68．It can be
inferred from the passage that many Americans find it difficult to ____.
A．build a house B．find a ready-made house
C．have a good job D．buy a house
69．The
underlined phrase “take the plunge” most probably means “decide ____.”
A．to build a house B．to pull down a house
C．buy a house D．to rent a house
70．According to
the passage, owner-builders are those who ____.
A．are professional house
builders B．build houses of their own
C．are contract house builders D．sell or let houses
71．Which of the
following statements is true according to the passage?
A．Many house plans are offered free
of charge.
B．Most of the house plans are offered
by building instructors
C．Fifty percent of the American young
couples build houses.
D．Most of the owner-builders design their
homes.

We all associate colors with feeling and attitudes. In politics dark
blue often means “tradition”, and red means “social change”. But blue can also
mean sadness( I’m feeling blue), white is often for purity, although in China
white is worn at weddings and black for funerals. Advertisers are aware of the
importance of selecting colors according to the way people react to them. Soap
powders come in white and light blue packets (clean and cold, like ice);
cereals often come in brown packets (like wheat fields), but cosmetics(化妆品) never come in brown
jars(dirty?)
Where do these ideas come from? Max
Luscher from the University of Geneva believes that in the beginning life was
dictated by two factors beyond our control: night brought with it the
possibility of action, and increase in the metabolic rate, thus providing us
with energy and initiative. Dark blue , therefore, is the color of quiet and
passivity, bright yellow , the color of hope and activity.
In
prehistoric times, activity as a rule took one of two forms: either we were
hunting and attacking, or we were being hunted and defending ourselves against
attack. Attack is universally represented by the color red; self-preservation
by its complement green.
72．Which of the
following is NOT true about the color of dark blue?
A．It brings tragedy B．it means tradition
C．it represents night D．it indicates quietness
73．Soap powders
come in white and light blue packets to ____.
A．resemble ice B．show quality C．suggest purity D．attract customers
74．In Luscher’s
view, which of the following colors is connected with defence?
A．Red
B．Blue
C．Dark
D．Green
75．According to
the passage, what kind of people would probably favor yellow? People who are
____.
A．passive and conservative
B.
creative and aggressive
C．hopeful and active D．ideal and dreamy

Dear Peter
How nice to hear
from you again. How nice to hear from you again. You want to know what is going
on in our school. In short, things have been improving since the school began
to carry on exploring study. In the past, the teachers always kept on
explaining the points in class. We students just listened and took notes. But
now we often discuss and try to solve the problems raised by the teachers or
ourselves. After class, we enjoy different kinds of activities instead of doing
endless homework. For example, we can read what we are interested in. We can go
to the library or surf the Internet for various kinds of information.
In
a word, we are now masters of study, and we are happy.
Best
wishes.
Yours,
Li
