One evening Mrs. Alda asked her husband to
take her to a very expensive restaurant in the city, because a lot of movie
stars and other famous people ate there, and she was curious to see some of
them.
Soon after Mr. And Mrs. Alda had ordered
their meal, a very attractive man and woman came into the restaurant and sat
down at a table nearby. They were beautifully dressed, and Mrs. Alda said to
her husband , “Look at those people, George! I’m sure I’ve seen their pictures
somewhere.”
The man and the woman gave their order
to the waiter, and when he brought Mr. and Mrs. Alda the dishes, Mrs. Alda said
to him, “Who are those people? Do you know them?”
“Oh! They are nobody famous,” he
answered at once.
“Really?” Mrs. Alda asked with surprise,
“How do you know that?”
“Because they asked me who you were,” he
answered.

Our 16-year-old daughter started to smoke
last Christmas. It killed me to see that a lovely girl with a cigarette(香烟) in her mouth. I told her how I felt. Martha
continued to smoke, saying “It’s my life,” and so on. I told her if she didn’t
stop smoking, I wouldn’t send her to college. She agreed to give up.
Last night there was cigarette smell on
Martha’s breath. She had to say she had broken her word. Now I must do what
I’ve said to punish her.
Martha is unusually bright and wants to
teach children. I am working full-time to put her older sister through school
and would do the same for Martha. My husband’s pay is good, but with prices
going up all the time we could never educate（教育） the

college.

C
Today’s teen consumer market is the most
profitable it has ever been. Even though 65% of teens claim that they rely on
themselves for their fashion ideas, it is estimated that less than 20% of the
teen population is innovative enough to drive fashion trends, according to a
recent study by a marketing firm. Marketers recognize this fact and often use
elements of youth culture to promote their products. Perhaps one of the best
examples is their use of hip-hop culture. It is reported that hip-hop fashion
alone generates $750 million to $1 billion annually. Sales of rap music and
videos each exceed that amount.
Rap’s rise and sustained global
popularity is a good illustration of how influential youth culture is on youth
attitudes and behavior. Remember when Madonna hit the charts with her bra in
full view while singing about “virginity”? Soon after that, adolescent girls
around the world began wearing their underwear outside their clothes.
Fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger
was fully aware of the power of youth culture. He marketed his brand by giving
clothes to famous MTV stars and featuring teen stars in his print ads. Picking
up on teens’ interest in computer games, Hilfiger sponsored a Nintendo
competition and installed Nintendo terminals in his stores. The payoff? Teens
rated Hilfiger jeans as their number one brand in a survey in 2000.
49.What is the best
title for this passage?
A. The Importance of Marketing
B. The Power of Youth Culture
C. The Popularity of Hip-hop Fashion
D. The Success of Tommy Hilfiger
50.How much money
do sales of rap music and videos together make each year?
A. More than $I billion
B. Between $750 million and $1 billion
C. Between $500 million and $750 million
D. Less than $500 million
51.According to
the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A. The purchasing power of teenagers has been decreasing over the
years.
B. Many teenagers make a lot of profits in the fashion market today.
C. Madonna led the fashion of wearing underwear outside clothes.
D. Marketers recognize youth culture as a part of hip-hop culture.
52.It can be
inferred from the passage that Hilfiger _________
A. believed that MTV stars could drive fashion trends among teens
B. sold Nintendo terminals together with teen’s clothes in his stores
C. sponsored a Nintendo competition out of his own
interest in computer games
D. was rated by teens and adults as the best designer
of jeans around the world in 2000
D
Walking through any high school in the first class in
the morning, you may find many students are struggling to stay awake.
“They are
sitting in the classroom, but their heads are at home on their pillows”, says Mary
Carskadon of Brown Medical School in the US.
Don’t
blame them; blame the clock in their brains. Research suggests that biological
clocks push teens to stay up at night and sleep in the morning. Many suffer
from jet lag (时差)between their internal clocks and the
external world.
During
the first several weeks of school, students are more likely to get a lack of
sleep. In the holidays, students can sleep eight hours a night. But during the
school day, students on average sleeps only about six hours. Students lose 10
hours of sleep per week they never recover from. The lack of sleep may not only
be a drag on school performance, but may be related to poor health.
Scientists in the US led research to try to help them fall asleep
earlier. They found the brain can produce a chemical that helps sleep. It comes
out only in the dark. So they use a special light in the classroom to try to
force a reset of the students’ biological clock.
The
research failed at the end. So some schools in the US have reset their school
time from 7:25 to 8:30 am to suit the students. The results were promising. The
hour extension help students perform better in class.
53..
The reason why many students may be found sleepy in the first class in the morning
is that ___ .
A. the first class is boring
B. they don’t like their teacher
C. they sleep less hours than they need
D. they are ill
54. According to
the passage we can learn that ___ .
A. Teachers should blame the sleeping students
in the class
B. The sleeping students in the class work
harder than the others
C. The sleeping students work deep into the
night
D. Falling asleep late makes students sleepy
in the class
55. Which of the
following is not true?
A. The sleeping students in the first class
should have their brains examined.
B. Scientists did research to help the sleepy
students but failed.
C. Some schools in the US begin their classes
in the morning later than before.
D. Students shall have about eight sleeping
hours during the school day.
56. The main idea
of the passage is that ____ .
A. Students often sleep in the first in the
morning.
B. Students are too tired to fall asleep at
night.
C. Sleepyhead in the first class, it is not
the students’ fault.
D. Scientists did some research on students’
sleep.
E
If
there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is the ability
to profit by defeat. Every success I know have achieved because the person was
able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his next undertaking.
Confuse defeat with failure, and you are doomed (注定) indeed
to failure. For it isn’t defeat that makes you fail: it is your own refusal to
see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success.
Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of. They are routine incidents in the
life of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you
face it without humiliation, analyze（分析） it and
learn why you have failed. Defeat, in other words, can help to cure its own
cause. Not only does defeat prepare us for success, but nothing can arouse
within us such a compelling desire to succeed. If you let a baby grasp a rod
and try to pull it away, he will hold more and more tightly until his whole
weight is suspended. It is the same reaction as should give you new and greater
strength every time you are defeated. If you exploit the power which defeats
give, you can accomplish with it far more than you are capable of.
57. The person who is able to analyze his
defeat is likely ___ .
A. to be more capable of doing things
B. to be a successor
C. to be ashamed of his defeat
D. to know himself better
58. Defeat is valuable because ___ .
A. it makes you a better thinker
B. it forces you to face it without
humiliation
C. it provides the guide to achievement.
D. It enables you to analyze events
successfully
59. It is implied in the passage that ___ .
A. the author thinks there is only one factor
which makes for success in living
B. defeat necessarily leads to success
C. people often confuse defeat with failure
D. we must face defeat courageously
60. What is the author’s attitude towards
defeat?
A. One of being ashamed.
B. One of being interested.
C. One of being discouraged.
D. One of being hopeful.
第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，请将文后标有A-D的小标题插入标号为61至65题中，使短文连贯完整,其中有一选项是多余的。
61．______
Can you see the rabbit’s tail? When a
rabbit sees something dangerous, it runs away. It runs away. Its tail, which is
white, moves up and down as it runs. The other rabbits see this white tail
moving up and down, and they run too. They know that there is danger. The
rabbit has told them something without making a sound. It has given them a
signal.
62. ______
Many other animals use this kind of
language. When a cobra is angry, it raises its hook makes itself look fierce.
This warns other animals. When a bee has found some food, it goes back to its
home. It cannot tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but
it does a little dance. The dance tells the other bees where the food is.
63. _____
Some animals say
things by making sounds. A dog barks, for instance, when a stranger comes near.
A cat purrs when pleased. Some birds make several sounds, each with its own
meaning. Sometimes we human beings speak in the same way. We make like “Oh!” or
“Ah” when we are frightened or pleased or when we drop something on our toes!
64. _____
But we have something that no animal
has—a large number of words which have the meanings of things, actions,
feelings or ideas. We are able to give each other information, to tell other
people what is in our mind or how we feel. By writing words down we can
remember for a long time things that have happened, or send messages to people
far away. Moreover, a person can increase his vocabulary at will as he learns
or invents new words, whereas an animal’s vocabulary is limited to range that
his biological structure determines.
65. _____
No one knows how man learned to make
words. Perhaps he began by making sounds like those made by animals. Perhaps he
grunted like a pig when he lifted something heavy. Perhaps he made sounds like
those he heard all around him-water splashing, bees humming, a stone falling
and imitated them to make words. As the centuries went by, he made more and
more new words. This is what we mean by language.
A. The Communication among Other Kinds of
Animals
B. Expressing by Making Sounds
C. Possible Origins of Language
D. An Example of Using Signals
E. Importance of Language
F. The Human Language

Opinions are divided on
this question. Some students may like elderly teachers teaching because they
think elderly teachers have more teaching experience and that they tend to be
patient and careful with explanations. However, I prefer to be taught by young
teachers. Firstly, we students have much in common with them. So they are our
friends as well as our teachers. Secondly, they are more .energetic and
enthusiastic. Usually they can make their classes lively and interesting.
Besides, they are more ready to accept or create new ideas, including teaching.
Thirdly, most young teachers devote themselves to their work, making them teach
creatively and effectively.
In a word, I prefer
young teachers to elderly teachers.
