第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30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
Can you remember the first time you learned to ride a bike or drive a car? Learning these skills changed your life forever and opened up new horizons. Learning about computers can be like learning how to ride a bike or drive a car. Once you have invested the time to master the skills, you will never go back to the old days. The new technology is simply too convenient and too powerful.
Technological developments through the years have enabled us to do more with less effort. We have continuously looked for better ways of doing things. Each invention and new development has allowed us to extend our capabilities. Today we see one of the most dramatic technologies ever developed—the computer. It extends the capabilities of our minds.
Computers have saved organizations millions of dollars. Furthermore, these same computer systems have opened up new opportunities that would have gone undiscovered or neglected. The computer may multiply what we can do, and the return on investment is high. The growth of computer usage is surprising. On the other hand, the computer can do serious damage. Invasion of privacy(侵犯隐私), fraud(欺诈), and computer-related mistakes are just a few shocking examples.
The computer is like a double-edged sword. It has the ability to cut us free from some activities, but it can also cut deep into profits, personal privacy, and our society in general. How it is used is not a function of technology. It is strictly a function of how people decide to use or misuse this new technology. The choice is yours, and only through a knowledge of computer systems will you be able to avoid the dangers while enjoying the many, many benefits of the computer age.
36. The writer thinks learning about computers is like learning how to ride a bike or drive a car because _______.
A. it is simple and practical
B. it needs a lot of practice
C. it leads people to new life experiences
D. it takes much time to master the skills
37. According to the passage, computers bring people the following benefits except _______.
A. avoiding mistakes B. saving money

A. have sound knowledge of computer systems
B. tell people not to misuse computers
C. have strict rules over the use of computers
D. make more investments in the technology
39. This passage is probably written for _______.
A. computers B. computer producers
C. computer learners D. computer programmers

B
In most towns today, you can see teenagers standing over electronic machines with flashing lights, shooting at spaceships from other planets and dropping bombs on strange monsters(恶魔). The machines have names like Space Warrior, Dark Invader and so on. It used to be believed that damage was done only to those strange visitors from outer space, but now it seems that they are striking back.
Many teenagers like electronic games so much that they can’t stop playing. They spend hours tightly holding the joystick controls and constantly pressing buttons marked “fire”. They develop pains on their fingers because of the constant pressure. They play and play that the pains have no chance to cure properly. The rapid wrist movement required to guide the spaceship across the screen causes another problem: The muscles of the wrist and arm become so inflamed and swollen that they press against the bones. This condition is what doctors now call “Space Warrior’s Wrist”.
Other strange aches and pains also are likely to affect the elbows and shoulders.
Another even more alarming problem is shown by the case of a 17-year-old girl which was recently reported in the British Medical Journal. She had been playing various kinds of electronic games for more than two hours a day. Her father repaired games and machines and she could use the cassettes and systems in his workshop as often as she liked. One day, after playing a game called Dark Invader, she lost consciousness(晕倒) and fell to the floor.
Doctors who examined her found she was suffering from an unusual illness caused by lights flashing at a particular frequency.
40. Electronic games are found very popular with _______.
A. people living in towns
B. students studying in high schools
C. girls working in their father’s workshops
D. young people
41. “Space Warrior’s Wrist” is caused by _______.

42. The case of a 17-year-old girl given by the writer shows that the writer _______.
A. supports playing electronic games
B. feels very sorry for the girl
C. disagreed with young people’s playing electronic games
D. feels worried about young people’s poor health
43. From the passage we can conclude that playing electronic games is _______.
A. enjoyable and helpful to the study
B. exciting but harmful to the health and study
C. interesting but harmless to the eyes
D. amusing and satisfying


C
Have you ever noticed the color of the water in a river or stream after a heavy rainfall? What do you think caused this change in color? It is soil that has been washed into the river from the riverbank or from t}le nearby fields．
Components of Soft
Soil is made up of a number of layers（层），each having its own distinctive color and texture．The upper layer is known as the litter．It acts like a blanket．limiting temperature changes and reducing water loss．The topsoil layer is made up of small particles of rock mixed with rotten plant and animal matter called humus（腐殖质），which is black and gives the topsoil its dark color．This layer is usually rich in nutrients，oxygen，and water．Below the topsoil is the subsoil，a layer that contains more stones mixed with only small amounts of organic matter．This layer is lighter in color because of the lack of humus．Beneath the soil lies a layer of bedrock．
Soil forms from the bottom up．Over time bedrock is attacked by rain, wind，frost, and snow．It is gradually broken down into smaller particles in a process called weathering．Plants begin to grow，and rotten materials enrich the topsoil．Most of the soil in Eastern Canada, for example, was formed from weathered rock that was exposed when the ice disappeared l2,000 years ago．
Water Beneath the Soil
Surface water collects and flows above the ground in lakes, ponds, and rivers．Once in the soil or rock, it is called groundwater．Gravity pulls groundwater through the soil in a process called percolation（渗透）．Eventually the water reaches a layer called the water table．Under this is bedrock through which water cannot percolate．
As water percolates downward, it dissolves organic matter and minerals from the soil and carries them to deeper layers．This causes a serious problem because plants require these nutrients for growth.
Soil pH
Soil can be acidic．neutral．or basic．The pH of the soil is determined by the nature of the rock
from which it was formed, and by the nature of the plants that grow and rot in it．
The acidity of rain and snow can lower the pH of the groundwater that enters the soil．By burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gasoline, humans have been contributing to higher levels of acidity in many soils．When fossil fuels are burned, gases are released into the air and then fall back to earth as acid rain．Acid soil increases problem of carrying nutrients to lower soil levels．As nutrients are removed，soil is less fertile．Plants grow more slowly in acidic soil, and also become easily attacked by diseases．
44．The layer of soil that provides necessary nutrients for plant growth is called．
A．1itter B．topsoil C．humus D．subsoil

45．According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?
A．Soil forms from weathered rock on the earth surface．
B．The deeper layer of soil is darker in color than the surface soil．
C．Air pollution is partially responsible for acid soil．
D．Groundwater tends to carry away nutrients for plant growth．
46．We can infer from the passage that the water table lies ．
A．between the topsoil layer and the subsoil layer
B．in the subsoil layer above bedrock
C．between the subsoil layer and bedrock
D．in the bedrock layer beneath the subsoil
47．The underlined word “dissolve” is used to express the idea that organic matter and minerals from soil are ．
A．rushed away into the river
B．cleaned and purified by water
C．destroyed and carried away by water
D．mixed with water and become part of it
D
When I asked my daughter which item she would keep: the phone, the car, the cooker, the computer, the TV, or her boyfriend, she said “the phone”. Personally, I could do without the phone entirely, which makes me unusual. Because the telephone is changing our lives more than any other piece of technology.
Point 1 The telephone creates need to communicate, in the same way that more roads create more traffic. My daughter comes home at 4:00 pm and then spends an hour on the phone talking to the very people she has been at school with all day. If the phone did not exist, would she have anything to talk about?
Point 2  The mobile phone means that we are never alone. “The mobile saved my life,” says Crystal Johnstone. She had an accident in her Volvo on the A45 between Otley and Skipton. Trapped inside, she managed to make the call that brought the ambulance(救护车)to her rescue.
Point 3  The mobile phone removes our secret. It allows Manager of Haba Deutsch, Carl Nicolaisen, to ring his sales staff all round the world at any time of day to ask where they are, where they are going, and how their last meeting went.
Point 4 The telephone separates us. Antonella Bramante in Rome says, “We worked in separate offices but I could see him through the window. It was easy to get his number. We were so near —but we didn't meet for the first two weeks!”
Point 5  The telephone allows us to reach out beyond our own lives. Today we can talk to several complete strangers simultaneously(同时地) on chat lines(at least my daughter does. I wouldn't know what to talk about). We can talk across the world. We can even talk to astronauts (if you know any) while they're space-walking. And, with the phone line hooked up to the computer, we can access(存取) the Internet, the biggest library on Earth.
48. How do you understand “ Point 1—The telephone creates the need to communicate” ?
A. People don't communicate without telephone.
B. People communicate because of the creating of the telephone.
C. People communicate more since telephone has been created.
D. People communicate more because of more traffic.
49. Which points do you think best support the idea that phones improve people's life?
A. Point 3 and point 4 B. Point 1 and point 5
C. Point 1 and point 3 D. Point 2 and point 5
50. It is possible to talk to several complete strangers simultaneously through _______.
A. the TV screen
B. a fax machine
C. the phone line hooked up to the computer
D. a microphone

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Kids in the Kitchen
Some experts serve up some of the factors that make cooking with kids a pleasure rather than a struggle．
51 .
For obvious reasons, a grown-up needs to be in charge of the stove, sharp knives and electrical equipment．Dr．Colker advises parents to be watchful, even when their kids are involved in relatively safe tasks．The bottom line is to stay close by, and teach your kids to respect basic safety rules．
Leave Time
52 _ When kids help, you’ll need extra time to teach them some skills．When you're in a hurry, give your kids tasks that don't require much guidance．As they get older and develop more skills, they will become wonderful helpers and even save your time!
Go for Variety
Our experts agree that children can enjoy more than the usual "kid food", such as chicken nuggets and pizza． 53 Sandra K. Nissenberg suggests exploring the produce passage in the supermarket and talking about the unusual fruits and vegetables you find．
Involve Kids in Clean-up and Table-setting
Dr．Laura Colker reminds parents that preschoolers are eager to deal with grown-up tasks．They actually "enjoy the clean-up and table-setting activities", she says． 54 ．
They may also enjoy setting the table and counting the spoons．
Make Cooking a Learning Adventure
Cooking helps kids develop a healthy interest in the lifelong challenge of eating nourishing （有营养的） , delicious meals．Kids learn about science when they heat or cool a mixture and observe how it changes． 55 And as they wait for the timer to ring, they develop a better understanding of the concept of time．
A．Most young children can easily handle simple kitchen equipment．
B．Cooking with young children requires patience．
C．Measuring ingredients teaches kids about fractions （分数）．
D．Kids can and should help wash and dry the pots and pans．

参考答案

【解析】
1．D.
2．A. as+形容词+冠词+名词+as
3．C. 本句中的so pretty和like you都是用来修饰限定a girl的。本句可以简化为：I can imagine a girl liking boxing.即，考查imagine sb doing sth结构。
4．C
5．B. 不定式做定语， 涉及其逻辑主语的问题，如不须指出其逻辑主语，或逻辑主语很明显，就用主动形式。
6．B. 考查宾语从句。本题中宾语从句whoever is honest and easy to get on with作为介词with的宾语，whoever在句中作为主语。Whomever在句中只能做宾语。No matter who只能引导让步状语从句。Who的语气没有whoever强烈。句意：我想要和诚实且容易相处的人一起工作。故B正确。
点评：要注意宾语从句的连接词，who与whoever相比较，whoever的语气更强烈。另外要特别注意no matter+特殊疑问词，只能引导让步状语从句，不能引导名词性从句。
7．C.
8．C.
9．A. 考察词组。Take up 占据（时间，空间），开始从事，继续做某事 Break up 分解 pick up 接某人，健康恢复，偶然学到，接收信号，spring up涌现
句意为，在今天的课上，黄老师打算继续昨天课上没有讲完的科幻小说。
10．B. 考查主谓一致。The police做主语位于动词用复数形式。本题又是过去时。故B正确。句意：前天警察们包括一个官员在山区搜寻谋杀犯。
11．D. 考查宾语从句的语序和时态。在名词性从句中使用陈述语序。本题中what was the matter中what就是主语，the matter就是句子的表语。使用D项就是陈述语气。因为前面的asked是一个过去时，故后面也应该使用一般过去时。
点评：宾语从句应该使用陈述语序，同时宾语从句的时态要与主句的时态保持一致。
12．D. 考查情态动词。who follow their dreams是those的定语从句。Those是句子主语，不缺主语，且Only修饰句子主语时不倒装，所以选D。
13．D. 本题为动词词组辨析的考查，整句话的意思是“令人吃惊的是，时尚的年轻妇女被证明是个小偷。”find out意思是“发现”，prove out应删去out。put out意为“扑灭”，turn out意思是“证明”，后常接“to be'’的形式，“to be”可以省略。
14．C.
15．C

点评：在答题中，应首先略读一下文章，了解一下文章的大致意思，然后把几个选项含义理解透，尤其注意意思相近，表达有交叉的选项之间的区别。然后再细读短文，把答案填入合适位置。答题时可以把含义相近的几个选项轮流填入同一处位置，反复阅读，反复体会，找出最佳选项，对于实在没有把握的小题可以留待最后完成。完成短文后，再认真通读一遍全文，看看上下语意是否通顺，是否符合逻辑关系。

【小题4】去掉the 固定词组get in touch with sb与某人取得联系
【小题5】well-----good 用形容词good作为定语修饰名词
【小题6】remember-----remembering 因为与主语we构成主动关系，使用现在分词做伴随状语。
【小题7】they----we 上文的主语是we,所以这里也使用we.
【小题8】which-----that 本句的it是形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的主语从句。

书面表达：
I prefer my English classes to be taught in English only. As we all know, a good learning environment is vital if we want to study English well. Classes taught in English provide students with such an environment. When English is the only language used in the classroom, students will have more opportunities to practice listening and speaking. Therefore, we will be able to learn more quickly.
However, there are also some problems with this teaching method. As we haven’t mastered enough English words, sometimes we may find it difficult to follow the teacher. Slow learners may even lose interest in English.
Practice makes perfect. To learn English well requires a lot of practice. So, I like my English classes to be taught completely in English.
