第二节：完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）
阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从21—40各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
Birthdays
often bring surprises. But this year’s surprise on the birthday of the great
British playwright William Shakespeare is 21 one of the most surprising.
On
April 22, one day before his 441st birthday anniversary, experts 22
that one of the most recognizable 23 of William Shakespeare is a
fake(赝品).
This 24
that we no longer have a good 25 of what Shakespeare looked like. “It’s
very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare are unreliable because many of
them are 26 of this one,” said an expert from Britain’s National
Portrait Gallery.
The
27 comes after four months of testing. Experts from the gallery say the
image—— commonly known as the “Flower portrait” ——was actually 28 in the
1800s, two centuries 29 Shakespeare’s
death.
The
art experts who work at the gallery say they used modern chemistry technology
to 30 the paint on the picture. These checks found traces(痕迹) of paint
deep in the picture 31 about 1814.
Shakespeare
32 in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609.
“We
now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840. This was 33 there
was a new interest in Shakespeare’s 34 ,” Tanya Cooper, the gallery’s 16th
century curator(馆长) said.
The 35
picture has often been used as a cover for 36 of his plays. It is called
the “Flower portrait” because one of its 37, Desmond Flower, gave it to the
Royal Shakespeare Company.
“There
have always been 38 about the authenticity(真实性) of the
painting,” said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company.
“Now
we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of
Shakespearean portraiture(画像技法),” he said.
Two
other images of Shakespeare are also being studied as part of the investigation
and the results will 39 later in May. But for now what Shakespeare
really looked like will remain a 40.
21. A. surely B.
never C.
hardly D.
only
22. A. wondered B. doubted C. found D.
considered
23. A. plays B.
masterpieces C. portraits D. photos
24. A. recommends B. advises C. decides D.
means
25. A. news B.

第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。
A
ABC
News anchor (节目主持人) Peter Jennings died on
Aug.7, 2005 at home in New York after a brief battle with lung cancer. ABC News
anchors said they hope if anything good can be taken from Jennings’ death, it
is a great awareness of the dangers of smoking.
“I
want to give a message,” Barbara Walters said. “If you have kids who are
smoking, tell them that we lost Peter.”
Lung
cancer is the worst killer in America, taking more lives each year than any
other cancer, according to the America Cancer Society. About 160,440 Americans
die each year of cancer, making up 28 percent of all cancer deaths. More than
87 percent of lung cancers are smoking related.
Dr.
Derek Raghavan, director of the Cleveland Clinic’s Taussing Cancer Center, said
that once a person stops smoking, he starts getting better. Three to five years
after quitting, the possibility of getting lung cancer is reduced by
half.
Warning
signs of lung cancer can also be mixed with symptoms connected with long-term
smoking. The three main warning signs are an increase of coughing that doesn’t
clear up, coughing up blood and sharp chest pains.
People
with those symptoms should see a doctor. Raghavan said there have been
promising developments in the treatment of lung cancer, including uses of
radiation and surgery and drugs. “But the fact is that stopping smoking is the
most important thing we can do,” Raghavan said. “There is no treatment that
even comes close.”
41. Anchor Peter Jennings died of
lung cancer which was possibly caused by _____.
A. his bad eating habit B.
overmuch work C. long-term
smoking D. the old age
42. The first
paragraph mentioned Peter Jennings’ death in order to _____.
A. make him the main character of
the passage.
B. warn the smokers of the danger
of smoking
C. introduce the topic to be talked
about
D. make him better-known than
before
43. The underlined
word “quitting” in the fourth paragraph probably refers to _____.
A. doing more exercise B.
giving up smoking
C. getting over lung cancer D.
staying in hospital
44. To fight
against lung cancer, what matters much to smokers is _____.
A. to receive the treatment of lung
cancer B. to do exercise regularly
C. to see a doctor in time D.
to stop smoking
B
Comets（彗星）orbiting a distant
star have been found to contain water, the first time the ingredient(成份)
considered key to life has been discovered in objects circling a star other
than our sun.
The discovery, announced by
scientists, adds weight to the theory that other planetary（行星的）systems may be
necessary to the formation of life as we know it.
Scientists have no way of knowing
whether life ever existed on any comets or planets orbiting this particular
star, known as CW Leonis and located some 3,000 trillion miles (4,800 trillion
kilometers) from Earth in the constellation Leo(狮子座).
But they are certain that no life
could exist there now. That is because as it burns out the last of its nuclear
fuel, the star has swelled（膨胀） and increased in luminosity（发光度）, engulfing(吞没) nearby objects and melting
comets in orbits as distant as Neptune is from the sun—releasing the water that
astronomers spotted using a radio telescope in out space.
“ The existence of these bodies is measured
through their destruction(毁灭)” said Gary Melnick, chief scientist on
the project and an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for
Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Mr. Melnick said the discovery was
of particular importance because if there was a reservoir of water farther from
the star, there could have been water closer to the star, bolstering the
ideas that life may have existed outside our solar system. Comets are believed
to have helped build life on Earth, Mr. Melnick and other scientists said.
Besides bringing water to the oceans, they are also thought to have transported
important chemicals as they went through Earth’s atmosphere in past eons(远古时代).
45. According to
the passage which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. No life ever existed on any
comets or planets orbiting CW Leonis.
B. Neptune is a planet which orbits
the sun.
C. Water has been found beyond our
solar system.
D. CW Leonis belongs to
constellation Leo.
46. The underlined
word “bolstering” in paragraph 6 means _____.
A. objecting B.
inferring C. denying D.
supporting
47. What would be
the best title for the text?
A. Water is necessary for life. B. Water found in
comets.
C. New discovery in space D.
Comets and stars.
48. We can infer
from the passage _____.
A. All the chemicals on Earth were from
comets.
B. There couldn’t be life on Earth
without comets orbiting a distant star.
C. The earth probably came into
being from a comet.
D. Scientists are trying to find
water on CW Leonis.
C
For those who have lonely nights
and have trouble falling asleep, he is proving the ideal partner. This is a man
who does not snore (打鼾) in bed. And he is happy to wrap a comforting arm
around his dearest until morning arrives.
He does exist. He is the
body-shaped pillow, the latest sleeping aid from Japan.
This pillow comes without a head
and is filled with foam. It’s made by Kameo and has a “body” and a flexible arm
that can be curled around its owner.
About 1,000 of the pillows have
been sold since they went on sale in Japan last year and many buyers say they
are pleased with their sleeping companion.
“This pillow makes me feel relaxed
because I can hold the arm and feel something warm at my side,” said
34-year-old radio DJ Junko Suzuki.
But according to Kameo, the
pillow is more than just an emotional help for those tired of spending the
night alone. And it is shaped, the firm says, to support its partner on both
sides to ensure a night of good sleep.
The idea is to curl up in between
the body and the flexible arm. The head just rests on the pillow’s “arm muscles”.
“My grandmother used to say that
there is no more comfortable pillow than another person,” said the firm president,
Tomoki Kakehashi. “So I thought that maybe people would want to sleep on a
pillow shaped like an arm.”
The pillows, on sale only in Japan
for the moment, cost 8,500 yen(around US$80) each and come with shirt-or
shirt-shaped pillow covers in blue, pink or green.
49. Which of the
following statements isn’t mentioned in the text?
A. Many buyers are satisfied with
the body-shaped pillow.
B. The pillows are sold only in
Japan at present.
C. The inventor decided to develop
new market in the US.
D. The idea of body-shaped pillow
is from what an old lady said.
50. The underlined
word in paragraph 6 “Kameo” may be the name of _____.
A. a manager B. the firm C. a buyer D.
another radio DJ
51. The purpose of
the passage seems_____.
A. to introduce the latest sleeping
aid, the body-shaped pillow
B. to advise people to use the
body-shaped pillow
C. to tell how the body-shaped
pillow is invented
D. to tell how the body-shaped
pillow works
52. The
body-shaped pillow is popular with users because _____.
a. users can fall asleep
easily using the pillow
b. buyers can afford the
pillow
c. the pillow ensure a night
of good sleep
d. the pillow can provide an
emotional help
A. a; b; c B.
b; c; d C. a; c; d D.
a; b; d
D
For many years, I was convinced(使相信) that my
suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it
would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.
Many weight-conscious people also
mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps
our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being
special, and being cherished. We fantasize about what it will be like when we
reach the long-awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at
last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have
lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next
time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its
promise of everlasting happiness, self-worth, and, of course, love.
It took me a long while to realize
that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards
vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she
weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want,
why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look
inside? Many of us strive hard to change our body, but in vain（徒劳地）. We
have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with
and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole
world changes.
53. The passage
tries to highlight(强调) the importance of _____.
A. body size B.
attitudes toward life
C. culture difference D.
different beauty standards
54. The word
“everything” in paragraph 2 means _____.
A. all the problems B.
all the possessions
C. the whole world D.
the absolute truth
55. What can be
inferred about the author?
A. The author is a Samoan.
B. The author succeeded in losing
weight.
C. The author has been troubled by
her /his weight.
D. The author probably got wounded
in wars or accidents.
56. According to
the author, what is the common view of those who have lost some weight first
and gained it back later?
A. They feel angry about the
regained weight.
B. They pay little attention to the
regained weight.
C. They feel optimistic about
future plans on weight control.
D. They think they should give up
their future plans on weight control.

Daily Telegraph bestseller for last week
A Special Relationship
This novel is about a woman whose
entire life is turned upside down in a very foreign place despite the fact that
people there speak her language. Sally Goodchild is a 37-year-old American who,
after nearly two decades as a highly independent journalist, finds herself
pregnant (怀孕的) and in London. She married an English foreign correspondent, Tony
Thompson, whom she met while they were both on assignment in Cairo. From the
outset, Sally’s relationship with both Tony and London is an uneasy one: She
finds her husband and his city to be far more foreign than imagined. But her
adjustment problems soon turn into a nightmare（噩梦）. She
discovers that everything can be taken down and used against you, especially by
a spouse (配偶) who now considers you an unfit mother and
wants to prevent you from ever seeing your child again.
Born in 1955, Douglas Kennedy is
the bestselling author of romances such as “The Big Picture”. He is also the
author of several praised travel books.

What do you do?
A In 1968, H. Wayne Huizenga teamed with a
partner to create a nationwide company for waste collection, a business
traditionally made up of small, local companies. The new company, Waste
Management, Inc., became the foundation of his fortune.
B While attending Harvard University in
1975, Bill Gates teamed with Paul Allen to develop a version of the BASIC
programming language for the Altair 8800, the first personal computer. They
licensed the software to the manufacturer of the Altair and formed Microsoft
(originally Micro-soft) to develop versions of BASIC for other computer
companies. Gates decided to drop out(退学) of Harvard in his junior year to
devote his time to Microsoft.
C In 1963, Ted Turner took over his family
billboard-advertising business. In 1970 he bought a failing UHF(ultrahigh frequency)
television station in Atlanta, Georgia, and by 1975 Turner had transformed it

Productions to produce her own show and other projects. With distribution

activities. By 1998 Winfrey was worth $675 million.
E Microsoft founder Bill Gates planned to
give away almost all of his vast fortune, largely to the cause of global
health. Having already the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with $ 24
billion to address global health issues, Gates said that eventually his entire
fortune would be put towards the cause except “a few percent left for the kids.”
F Amazon. com founder Jeff Bezos grew
interested in online retailing(零售业) in 1994 while working as a business
analyst in New York City. After researching the success of different mail-order
companies Bezos decided that books were the perfect product to see via the
Internet. That year he left New York to establish his new company in Seattle,
chosen for its being near to major book wholesalers and the advanced high-tech
industry. In July 1995 Amazon. com developed its Web site, and has since
expanded to offer many other retail products in addition to books.

第三节One possible version:
I’m Li Hua, a school student
and I enjoy drawing very much.
One day, I went to the small
woods not far from town to draw from nature with my drawing board. I was glad
to find a tree living although the rest had been cut down. “That’s a fine tree
to draw, ” I thought and began to set up my drawing board.
Just then a strong young man
came with a big axe and got down to cutting the tree. Soon he cut it off and
pulled it away.
When I got ready and turned
round to draw, I found the tree had disappeared. “Dear me! Where on earth is
the tree?” I could hardly believe my eyes. Then I found out the truth. I was
really disappointed and angry, too.
I
do hope the department concerned should take immediate action to stop such things
from happening again, or we’ll have no trees left.
