We all know that a
magician does not really depend on “magic” to perform his tricks, 36
on his ability to act at great speed. 37
, this does not prevent us from enjoying watching a magician 38
rabbits from a rat.
39 the greatest magician

tightest knots or the most complicated locks in seconds. 41 no one really knows 42
he did this, there is no doubt 43 he had made a close study of every
type of lock ever 44 . He liked to carry a small steel
needle-like tool strapped to his leg and he used this in 45 of a key. Houdini once asked the
Chicago police to lock him in prison. They 46 him in chains and locked him up, but
he freed himself 47 an instant. The police 48 him of having used a tool and locked
him up again. This time he wore no clothes and there were chains round his
neck, waist, wrists, and legs; but he again escaped in a few minutes. Houdini
had probably hidden his “needle” in a waxlike 49 and dropped it on the floor in the
passage. 50 he went past, he stepped on it so
that it stuck to the bottom of his foot. His most famous escape, however, was 51 astonishing. He was heavily chained 52 and enclosed in an empty wooden
chest, the lid of 53 was nailed down. The 54 was dropped into the sea in New York
harbor. In one minute Houdini had swum to the surface. When the chest was 55 , it was opened and the chains were

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）
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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Harry Potter is one
of the most famous characters in the world. He is the main character of a
series of books that have become a worldwide success. He is an English boy who
has magical powers and discovers them when he goes to special school for
wizards. There are seven novels in the series, and the seventh in J.K. Rowling’s
Potter series was published on July 20th, 2007. Some 3,500 fans queued for half
a mile outside Waterstone’s flagship branch in central London on the night of
July 20th, with an expected waiting time of four hours.
Parents and teachers
are very happy about the books because children are spending more time reading
than playing video games or watching television. It is incredible to see
children waiting outside bookstores at night with their parents to buy the
books. Some of the books are thick and heavy, but children don’t seem to mind.
They rush inside the store when it opens and grab one or more copies. Stores
sell out immediately, and parents sometimes fight with each other to buy the
last one.
This has never
happened to a book before. In the past, we saw kids or their parents running
into a store to grab the latest popular toy like Cabbage Patch Kids. Harry
Potter books have outsold these dolls, and they have set a world record as the
best and fastest selling books in history. Large parts of the books are about
Harry trying to understand his new identity and making the choices that come
along with it. Harry’s choices and problems are basically problems that all
young people have as they grow up.
56．According to paragraph 1, which of
the following statements about the Harry Potter books is NOT true?
A．Harry is one of the most popular
characters in the world.
B．Children don’ t mind waiting many
hours to buy the Harry Potter books.
C．The author had published seven
books in the Harry Potter series.
D．Children are looking forward to the
eighth Harry Potter book.
57．According to
paragraph 2, parents are happy about the Harry Potter books because
.
A．kids are reading more these days
B．kids have stopped watching
television
C．kids are writing more stories now
D．kids are becoming more imaginative
58．Why does the
author mention Cabbage Patch Kids in the passage?
A．Because they were more popular than
the Harry Potter books.
B．To better explain the success of
the Harry Potter books.
C．Because they were the most popular
toys.
D．To inform readers of the importance
of toys.
59．What is the
best title for this passage?
A．Harry Growing up B．Coming Of Age
C．Mad About Harry D．A Successful Life
B
Avalanche
Death comes quickly
in the mountains. Each winter holidaymakers are caught unawares as they happily
ski away from the fixed runs,little realizing that a small avalanche can send
them crashing in a bone-breaking fall down the slope and leave them buried
under tons of crisp white snow. There are lots of theories about how to avoid
disaster when hit by an avalanche. Practice is normally less cheerful.
The snow in the
Salzburg of Austria where a recent disaster took place was typical avalanche
material. For several days before the incident I had skied locally. Early
winter snow was wearing thin and covered with ice. On top of that new, warmer
flakes were gently falling to produce a dangerous carpet. To the skier who
enjoys unmarked slopes it is tempting stuff, deep new power snow on a hard
base---the skiing that dreams are made of. And sometimes nightmares.
Snow falls in
sections like a cake. Different sections have different densities because of
the temperatures at the time of the fall and in the weeks afterwards. Problems
come when any particular section is too thick and not sticking to the section
beneath. The snow of the past few weeks had been falling in rather higher
temperatures than those of December and early January. The result of these
conditions is that even a slight increase in the temperatures sends a thin
stream of water between the new snow and the old. Then the new snow simply
slides off the mountain.
Such slides are not
unexpected. Local citizens know the slopes which tend to avalanche and the
weather in which such slides are likely. Traps are set to catch the snow or
prevent it slipping; bombs are placed and exploded from time to time to set off
small avalanches before a big one has time to build up; and above all, skiers
are warned not to ski in danger areas.
In spite of this,
avalanches happen in unexpected areas and, of course, skier ignore the
warnings. The one comfort to recreational skiers, however, is that avalanche
incidents on the marked ski slopes are quite rare. No ski resort wants the
image of being a death trap.
60．Each winter
holiday makers in the mountains come face to face with death because .
A．they fail to
realize how dangerous avalanches can be
B．they are not expert enough at
skiing on the fixed runs
C．they are trying to avoid areas
where avalanches happen
D．they ski great distances down the
mountain side
61．It would
appear from the text that avalanches are brought about because
.
A．a particular section of snow is not
thick enough
B．there is a
slight fall in the temperature
C．heavy snowfalls turn into rain
D．the ice between different sections
of snow melts
62．In areas
where avalanches are known to happen
.
A．local residents stay indoors when
the weather is bad
B．measures are taken to prevent
serious avalanches
C．small avalanches can easily be
prevented
D．skiers form themselves into a wall
to keep the snow in position

Rodney Mace, 35, is
married with two young children, and is a part-time teacher of architectural
history. “I am constantly surprised by other people’s surprise, when they come
to the house and see me cleaning a floor or hanging out the washing．Their eyes open wide at the sight
of it! Much of the comment comes from men．But I am even more surprised at the number of women who comment too.”
His wife Jane, an
Oxford graduate in modem languages, has a demanding full—time job．She is director of the Cambridge
House literacy scheme(扫盲计划)for adults in South London．Her working week involves several evenings and Saturdays, end at
these times her husband is in charge of home and family．Apart from this, they share
household jobs and employ a child-minder for the afternoons．This enables him to teach two days
a week and to do what he considers his principal work：writing．He has written several books and
spends much of his time in the Museum Reading Room, cycling there from his home
in Brixton.
People ask the Maces
if they think their children miss them. One can argue that satisfied parents
generally have satisfied children, but in any case the Maces are careful to
spare time and energy to play with their children.” And they have now developed
relationships with other adults and children.”
Previously, Rodney
Mace worked full—time and Jane
only part—time. Then 18
months ago. the director of the literacy scheme left. “It seems to me that Jane
was very well suited to do this job. She was very doubtful about it. But I
urged her to apply. She did, and she got it.” Jane Mace confirms. that she
needed this encouragement, as so many women initially do.
Did his male ego(自我)suffer from the changeover?
Nothing like that occurred. But he still seems amazed at the way it changed his
thinking. “I felt that we were finally going to be partners. I felt enormous
relief,1 wasn’t avoiding responsibility, but changing it. Our relationship is
so much better now. It has been a change for the good for both of us—I think for all of us, in every
aspect of our lives. I cannot overemphasize that in every aspect. I think it is
necessary that the woman works. The idea of equal partnership is an illusion if
one partner doesn’t work.”
63．The article
about a couple whose married lire is happier because
.
A．they have a truly equal partnership
B．the husband enjoys staying at home
C．they earn more money D．the wife has a full-time job
64．Jane finally
decided to apply for her present job because
.
A．she thought she had better
qualification than others
B．her husband had persuaded her to
C．it was very well paid
D．some of her friends encouraged her
to
65．It is implied
in the passage that
.
A．the Maces believe a good career is
even more important than their family life
B．Rodney’s children are quite happy
with their position in the family
C．even capable women sometimes need
encouragement from their families
D．the practice of sharing household
jobs between husband and wife is common in London
66．We can infer
from this passage that a change-over of roles in the family
.

B．is probably based on some practical
reasons
C．shows solely a complete
emancipation（解放）of women
D．shows women are not necessarily
inferior（次于）to men

Zhao Wenxuan, a film
star from Taiwan has been fond of seeing films since his childhood. He would sometimes
go to the cinema for the same film four or five times. He also enjoys
literature and art. Before he took the film acting as his career, he has been
on the staff of an airline in Taibei,
the capital of Taiwan Province. His change of job to acting was quite by
chance.
One day, he came across in the paper an advertisement for a leading
actor to appear in the film named “Wedding Feast” . Full of excitement, he
answered the job and by telephoning the director of the film, Mr. Li An. It was
this telephone call that had changed all his life. At last the director decided
him to be the very person for the role. That he could be chosen owed much to
his good command of English, natural manners and low pay for his work in the
film.
The film “wedding Feast” proved to be a hit. It won the German
Golden Bear Award and entered the competition for one of the Oscar Academy
Awards. Also, it was the first Taiwan film that was permitted to be shown in
the U.S. Thanks to the film Zhao Wenxuan became popular in Taiwan, Hong Kong
and Southeast Asia.
In 1994, Mr. zhao acted as leading role in the Hongkong film “Red
Rose and White Rose”, in which many film stars like Ms. Chen Chong from U.S and
Mr. Ye Yuqing from the local area participated. This film was named for 10
prizes of the Taiwan Golden Horse Prize and at last it was awarded five prizes
for the best play, actress and music. Zhao has regarded the film as one of his
favorite films since he stepped into the acting circle.
Sine 1993, Mr. Zhao has taken part in the shooting of 13 films, most
of which are highly thought of.
Mr. Zhao said that Taiwan should think to cooperate（合作） mush with the mainland in the
film producing industry and it would benefit each other. In recent years he
often came to the mainland for film shooting. He has just completed his
performance in the film Love Affairs directed by Mr. Li Xin, a
director from Shanghai Film Studio.

Wenxuan

be an actor

be a painter
68．Why could Zhao Wenxuan play the
leading role in the movie “Wedding Feast”?

liked to see films very much.
B．Because he
was a famous actor at that time.

could speak English very well, acted naturally and cared little about the pay
for
his work in the
movie.
D．Because the
director of the movie knew him very well.
69．The text suggest that

A．“Wedding
Feast” is just an ordinary film

Feast” disappointed people greatly

“Hello? Hello?…I can’t hear you! My call is cutting out.”
Forbes magazine, in a cover story titled “Cell Hell,” says cell
phone users are fed up with unreliable service and what they consider unfair billing
charges, which is one of the biggest complaints people have.
Users also complain of poor sound and calls not going through. The
growth in customers and average call time means capacity needs to increases 75
percent annually, but companies haven’t been able to keep up. The government
set up the industry to have a lot of competition, but it also makes the quality
low.
When looking for the best company in your area, the magazine
suggests that consumers remember the following tips:
Smaller is better. Smaller companies often have better quality
because their networks are less crowded and their equipment is usually new.
Voice stream and Leap wireless are good examples.
Be a detective. If you’re getting a lot of dropped calls or dead
zones on your commute every day, ask a cell user with the same commute who
doesn’t have your problems who his or her carrier is.
Check contract length. The contract’s fine print can be too much to
read every word, so you should ask outright how long the contract will be. You
should understand that most contracts go for one year and that there are huge
penalties for early withdrawals.
Check phone liability. Before signing a contract, check what the
deal is if something happens to your phone. Find out if you can insure the
phone so that if you lose it, you can get another for free.
Get in the driver’s seat. When the contract is up, the consumer is
in the driver’s seat again, for it costs a company about $360 to replace
a lost customer, so your provider might give you a new phone to keep you from
switching. Be prepared to try and make a deal when your 12 months are up.
71．Which of the following is NOT
mentioned in the passage as a complaint cell phone users have?
A．High
bills B．Dropped calls
C．Little
function D．Poor tone quality
72．Why did the author say that “smaller
is better?”
A．The service
attitude of the smaller companies’ employee is better than that of the major’s
B．The smaller
companies’ networks are unblocked and equipment is advanced
C．The smaller
companies’ billing charges are fair.
D．When the
contract is up, the consumer is in the driver’s seat.
73．If you’ re
always getting drop calls or dead zones on your commute every day, the Forbes
magazine suggests that you should
.
A．have your
cell repaired
B．turn to
another cell user with the same commute
C．consider
change the carrier
D．tell your
carrier and ask for the settlement
74．What does “Get
in the driver’s seat” in the last paragraph mean?
A．When driving a car, you could not
use a mobile phone.
B．In the dominant（支配的）position.
C．When signing a contract in a car,
the consumer sits on the driver’s seat.
D．In the superior（较高的）position.
75．The word “it”
in the last paragraph refers to .
A．The lost customer
B．the company
C．The company replace a lost customer
D．The contract

Dear Tom,
In your last e-mail, you showed a great interest in our National
Stadium-the Bird’s Nest. Now I’d like to introduce it to you.
The Bird’s Nest is located on North Fourth ring Road in Beijing, and
covers an area of 58,000 square meters, with a seating capacity of about 90
thousand. Its construction was started in December, 2003 and will be completed
in 2007. It looks like a bird’s nest made of tree branches. During the Olympic
Games, we will host the track and field events and soccer matches there. After
the Games it will be used for large-scale events.
The Bird’s Nest is thought highly of by officials and experts all
over the world. UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan gives the thumbs up to its design
and thinks that it will be an incredible symbolism in the history of the
Olympic Games.
I hope that my introduction satisfies you.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
