第二部分 阅读理解（共 25 小题。 第一节每小题 2 分，第二节每小题 1 分； 满分 45 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

（A）

Municipal（市政府）regulations normally ban anything from smoking in public places to parking in certain zones. But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim, 70km（45 miles） east of Sao Paulo, have gone far beyond that. They plan to prohibit residents from dying early because the local cemetery（墓地）has reached full capacity.

There's no more room to bury the dead, they can't be cremated （火化） and laws forbid a new cemetery. So the mayor has proposed a strange solution: outlaw death. Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against federal regulations that prohibit new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas. "They have not taken local demands into consideration", he claims.

A 2003 decree（法令）by Brazil's National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas. Mr. Pereira wants to build a new cemetery, but the project has been stopped because 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered a preservation area.

Biritiba Mirim, a town of 28,000 inhabitants, not only wants to prohibit residents from passing away. The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to avoid death. "I haven't got a job, nor am I healthy. And now they say I can't die. That's ridiculous," Amarildo do Prado, an unemployed resident said.

The city council is expected to vote on the regulation next week. "Of course the bill is laughable, illegal, and will never be approved," said Gilson Soares de Campos, an assistant to the mayor. "But can you think of a better resolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is prohibiting us from building a new cemetery?" The bill states that "offenders will be held responsible for their acts". However, it does not say what the punishment will be.

41．What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim?

A．Ban on smoking in public places.

B．Ban on parking in certain zones.

C．Prohibiting residents from dying early.

D．Forbidding buried grounds in preservation.

42．What can we infer from the phrase “have gone far beyond that”?

A．Officials in Biritiba Mirim have nothing of these regulations.

B．The bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unexpected.

C．Officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world.

D．The officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town.

43．What’s the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal regulations?

A．He objects to them. B．He gives strong backing to them.

C．He asks the residents for advice on them.

D．He remains silent about them.

44．Which of the following is true according to the text?

A．The mayor of the town wants to build a new cemetery against federal regulation.

B．The residents of the town sing high praise for the bill.

C．The government is going to change the environmental decree.

D．No better resolution of the problems has been thought out.

（B）

A San Francisco self-service laundry（自助洗衣店）may be the one of the world's most unusual places to surf the Internet but a fashionable club on Moscow's Red Square is definitely the most fashionable, according to a Yahoo survey of the globe's best cybercafés （网吧）.

The winners of the first Yahoo Mail Internet Cafe Awards were published on Wednesday to mark the 10th anniversary of the world's first cybercafé in London's West End.

Among the top picks were the unusual Brain Wash in San Francisco, named as "the height of Internet cafe with self-service laundry " and Moscow's Phlegmatic Dog, selected as Most Stylish with its "unique combination of comfort and hi-tech". Taking the Best UK Internet Cafe award was Cafe Curve in Brighton, southern England -- "a must for anyone who likes style, comfort, typing and keeping in touch". And the title of the world's Most Remote Internet Cafe went to an internationally funded centre in Timbuktu, Mali.

The winners were chosen by a team of judges who considered travelers' more than 1,000 nominations（提名）of cybercafés in 111 countries. The results have been collected in a Rough Guides e-book.

In the decade since London's Cafe Cyberia first opened its doors in 1994, approximately 20,000 Internet cafes have sprung up in 171 countries, according to Yahoo Mail.

"Despite the fact that home and work Internet access is now commonplace, Internet cafes fulfill the same role as they did 10 years ago," Eva Pascoe, a co-founder of Cafe Cyberia, said in a statement. "They are the post offices of the wired generation."

45．The purpose of Yahoo Mail Internet Cafe Awards is _____.

D．Brain Wash in San Francisco-- combination of comfort and hi-tech

A．Internet surfers communicate with each other on Internet rather than by posting letters.

B．Internet cafes start the same service as post offices.

（C）

Thanks to the increasing demand for steel and the Internet, there are some new names among the very richest of the world's billionaires. Indian steel mogul （巨头）Lakshmi Mittal and Mexican telecom mogul Carlos Slim Helu are on Forbes magazine's（福布斯《财富》杂志）2005 rankings of the world's billionaires.

The billionaires are richer and more numerous this year, but the No. 1 spot is unchanged -- Microsoft Corp. founder Bill Gates led the list for the eleventh year in a row with a net worth（净资产）of $46.5 billion, slightly less than his $46.6 billion last year.

Investor Warren Buffet held a close second with $44 billion, up from $42.9 billion in 2004. Mittal—the biggest dollar gainer after increasing his net worth by $18.8 billion to $25 billion -- climbed 59 stairs from last year to No. 3 in 2005. The number of billionaires grew to a record 691 from 587 last year, and their total net worth rose by $300 billion to $2.2 trillion（亿万）.

Rounding out the top 10 were Microsoft's Paul Allen, German supermarket company owner Karl Albrecht, Oracle Corp.'s Lawrence Ellison and Wal-Mart Store owner Robson Walton.

One of this year's new billionaires -- and one of the list's 68 women, up from 53 last year— was Martha Stewart, whose wealth swelled to $1 billion.

A few of factors contributed to the increase, said Forbes editor Luisa Kroll, including positive performance by many stock markets around the world and the falling dollar. Between February 2004 and February 2005, the 12-nation euro rose about 4 percent against the dollar, while the British pound rose about 3 percent versus the U.S. currency. "If you were a euro-based billionaire, you could have done nothing and seen a 20 percent increase over the past two years." Kroll said.

Increasing demand oil and steel also helped make the rich richer, as did the overall recovery of the global economy over the past few years.

49．Lakshmi Mittal’s net worth of 2005 is _____ the amount of that of 2004.

A．one third times B．one half times C．twice D．four times

50．Who among the top three has the least growing rate of the net worth compared with last year?

A．Bill Gates B．Lakshmi Mittal C．Warren Buffet D．Paul Allen

51．Which of the following is not the possible cause for the increasing number of billionaires?

A．Positive performance by many stock markets around the world.

B．US dollar falling against Euro and British pound.

C．Rapid development of oil and steel industries during the past few years.

D．Overall recovery of the global economy over the past.

52．Women billionaires make up _____ of the total number of billionaires on 2005 billionaires list.

A．about 20 percent B．about 10 percent

C．about 4 percent D．about 1 percent

（D）

What looks like a black hole, behaves like a black hole, but is bigger than a black hole? Two black holes! Astronomers last week discovered a pair of enormous black holes far out in the galaxy （银河系） that appear to be dancing toward each other. However, astronomers say the collision （碰撞） is not likely to occur for several million years.

Black holes are objects in outer space that are so dense （密度大的） that nothing can escape their gravity. They often sit in the center of a galaxy—like the Milky Way—and suck up everything near them. The gravitational pull of a black hole is so intense that not even light （which travels faster than anything else in space） can make it past without being swallowed.

Black holes, like the one at the center of the Milky Way, are enormous. Scientists call some of them "supermassive", because they can be a few million times the size of most stars. Their size, their mass, and their inescapable gravity make black holes a giant force of nature in outer space.

Because there is no light near black holes, astronomers cannot actually see them; they are completely invisible to us on Earth. Scientists manage to detect the existence of a black hole by watching what happens to other objects, or matter floating in space.

So how did scientists manage to get a good look at a region so far away? The team used an orbiting NASA observatory known as Chandra. This special observatory uses X-rays rather than light to watch far out into space. Right before a star gets sucked into a black hole, it produces a large number of X-rays.

53．Which of the following statements can not be used to describe a black hole?

A．It is an object in space that can be seen on the earth.

B．It has extremely strong gravity.

C．It can suck up everything near them.

D．It is an enormous object in the galaxy.

54．Why did the astronomers need to use Chandra?

A．Because Chandra can throw light on black holes.

B．Because Chandra can help them see black holes in X-rays.

C．Because Chandra was sucked into the black hole.

D．Because Chandra can resist the gravitational pull of a black hole.

55．Which of the following is not discussed in the text?

A．Why black holes get an immense force of nature.

B．How stars react when sucked into a black hole.

C．Black holes’ swallowing up many nearby stars.

D．How black holes come into existence.

56．Which is the latest space discovery about black holes?

A．Two black holes appear to be advancing toward each other.

B．The location of black holes in the galaxy.

C．New clues about the beginning of the universe.

D．Nothing near a black hole can escape without being swallowed.

（E）

The mystery of Leonardo da Vinci's famous Mona Lisa painting has been cracked with the help of emotion-recognition software from scientists recently. According to findings which will be published in the New Scientist, a British journal, the exact breakdown of Mona Lisa's emotions, were 83 percent happy, 9 percent disgusted, 6 percent fearful, and 2 percent angry.

The sofeware rated features such as the curvature（曲度）of the lips and crinkles around the eyes. Dr. Nicu Sebe, a professor at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands, used emotion-recognition software to come up with the exact breakdown of Mona Lisa's emotional state.

The program draws on a database of young female faces to get an average "neutral" expression. The software uses this average expression as the standard for comparisons. Other applications of emotion-recognition software might be to detect terror suspects on the basis of their emotions as well as their physical characteristics.

Possibly the most famous portrait of all time, Mona Lisa's mystifying expression has puzzled art lovers for five centuries. In 2003, a scientist from Harvard University said the way the human eye processes visual information meant the smile was only obvious when the viewer looked at other parts of the painting.

The painting, which is on public display in the Louvre in Paris, was painted between 1503--1506. It was thought to be named after the sitter, most likely the Florentine wife of Francesco del Giocondo.

57．Which of the following is probably the practical use of the emotion-recognition of software?

A．It can be used to decide whether a painting is valuable.

B．It can be applied to detect a criminal.

C．It can show the painter of an ancient painting.

D．It makes Mona Lisa known to the world.

58．The software judges people’s emotion by _____.

A．the features on their face B．the smile on their face

C．the way they talk D．the painting which has been painted

59．Which statement is true according to the text?

A．The painter of Mona Lisa had a mixed emotion of happiness, disgust, fear and anger while painting.

B．Leonardo da Vinci worked out an emotion-recognition software with the help of scientists.

C．The name of Francesco del Giocondo’s wife could be Mona Lisa.

D．The painting Mona Lisa was painted in the fifteenth century.

60．What is the best title of the passage?

A．Mona Lisa “Happy”, Computer Finds

B．Mona Lisa “Smile”, Mystifying Smile

C．Leonardo da Vinci, Painter of Mona Lisa

D．Computer Copies Mona Lisa Painting

参考答案

第一部分 英语知识运用

1—5 BABCC

第二节 语法和词汇知识

6．A。根据句子后半部分的意义，此处表示“老实说，说实话”，除了A不能表达这个意思外，其它均可以。

7．B。此题考查argue的搭配用法，其后接人时，常用介词with或against，后接事物名词时常用介词about, over或on，故答案为B。

8．B。many直接修饰可数名词，表很多；接介词of时，表部分，此时名词前需用定冠词the修饰，故A不可选。number用来表示大量、很多时，应为a number of，故C不可选。a large amount of用来修饰不可数名词，而picture是可数名词，故D也不可选。B项masses of是非正式的表达方式，后跟可数名词。

9．D。句意：研究表明，那些能够给人们带来幸福感的东西是无法用金钱买到的，如良好的家庭生活、友谊以及工作中的成就感。本题所给的四个选项的意思分别为：as for至于；in view of鉴于；考虑到；in case of假如，万一；such as例如，诸如。

10．A。从该题后半句“even when......”可知本题空意指时间。now and then 时而、不时，by and by不久、后来，step by step逐步地，more or less或多或少。句意：我们都不时地写作，即使在并没有什么可说的时候。

11．B。句意：“你犯了这样一个愚蠢的错误，这到底是怎样发生的？”“到现在我自己也没有弄明白。”只有come about符合题意。

12．B。宾语从句要用陈述语序。当how引导宾语从句且从句中有副词修饰谓语动词或用形容词作表语时，how引导的宾语从句应用感叹句语序。

13．A。to see to与have too much work搭配，即：have too much work to see to （有太多的工作要处理），其中see to（处理，照看）为不定式作定语，修饰work.不定式to come与much前的too搭配，构成too…to句型表示“太……而不能”的意思。

14．D。该题为一个带有定语从句的复合句，句中作定语的关系代词who指代先行词teachers，为复数，故谓语动词该用are；as well as连接两个主语时，谓语动词要根据前一个主语决定；由 every, no, each 等限定的并由and连接的两个并列名词作主语时，谓语动词要用单数形式。

15．D。句意：已经采取相应的措施来解决问题了，但是还需要一段时间情况才能好转。before在此译为“在......之前”。

16．C。上句意思是自从以来很久了=I haven’t seen you for a long time since last.下句要过……时间才能见面，相当于It is a pity that we’ll see each other again in a long time.

17．C。前一个动作在“汤姆来看”时已完成，后一个正要去做。

18．A。 主语从句I can’t understand缺少宾语，要用What引导。表语从句there are more and more junk-emails on the Internet是一个完整的句子，要用why引导，意思是“什么互联网上的垃圾邮件越来越多。”

19．B。根据believe句型，believe sB．/sth to be/ to have done可以知道，第一空填to have killed;第二空的非谓语动词表示结果，动词的-ing形式表示事情发展的自然结构，而不定式表示出乎意料的结果。

20．B。第一空as 引导非限制性定语从句，as “正如”，是关系代词，在定语从句中充当 wrote 的宾语；第二空then是副词，“那么”。

第二部分 阅读理解

第一节

（A）

这是一轶闻趣事类阅读材料。巴西国家环境理事会颁布了一项法令，禁止在保护区内修建墓地。位于保护区内的一小镇想出怪招，欲颁“禁死令”，英年早逝不合法。

41．C。细节题。根据第一段最后一句“法令将禁止小镇居民“英年早逝”，因为镇上的墓地已经“人满为患”。由此可知毕瑞蒂巴·米瑞姆小镇官员将推出的新法令的内容。

42．B。句意推测题。短文首句提到“市政府颁发公共场所禁烟令、某些地段禁止泊车令倒是很正常”，结合下文提到的法令内容进一步推测，米瑞姆小镇官员将推出的新法令远远超出这些，说明他们的法令是标新立异、前所未闻、出乎人们想象之外的。

43．A。观点意图推测题。第二段内容提到：墓地已经被用的差不多，又不能用火化来解决，再加上法律禁止修建新墓地，所以镇长想出了一个新奇的“解决方案”——颁布禁死令。镇长罗伯特·佩雷拉说，推出这项法案是为了抗议联邦政府禁止在保护区内新修或扩建墓地的法令。他说，“政府根本没有考虑到地方的实际需要”。由此可知他是反对联邦政府的法令。

44．D。事实判定题。第三段提到：佩雷拉市长本想新建一块墓地，但是这个项目受到阻挠，因为米瑞姆小镇98%的土地都被划入了保护区。由此可排除A；第四段中一个失业居民说，“我没有工作，身体也不是很好。现在市政府竟然‘禁止死亡’，真是荒唐。”由此可排除B；短文最后一段市长助理说，“这项法令显然很可笑，而且不合法，所以不可能通过。但是谁又能想出一个更好的办法来说服政府修改禁止新建墓地的环境法呢？”由此可知C项意义不符，而D项正是此意。

（B）

这是一篇时尚类阅读材料。自1994年世界第一家网吧开张以来，数以万计的网吧如雨后春笋般出现。最近雅虎组织评审组根据旅游者的提名从1000多家网吧中评选出最佳网吧。

45．C。细节题。短文第二段提到：周三，第一届雅虎邮箱杯网吧奖的获奖名单公布，以纪念位于伦敦西区的世界上第一家网吧创立10周年。在短文的第五段提到这家网吧就是伦敦咖啡馆网吧（London's Cafe Cyberia）。结合两处信息可得答案。

46．D。事实归纳题。短文第三段提到：位于英国南部布赖顿的“咖啡曲线”网吧获得了英国最佳网吧奖；莫斯科“冷淡的狗”网吧因其“舒适和高科技的独特结合”获得了最佳时尚奖；由国际合作出资在马里通布图建立的一个网络中心赢得了世界上“最偏僻的网吧”的称号。由此可知A、B、C配对是正确的。旧金山的“洗脑店”被称为“网吧和自助洗衣店的最高峰”，而不是“舒适和高科技的结合”。

47．A。推测题。此句的意义是“它们（网吧）是网络一代的邮局”。上文语境提到：尽管现在互联网在家庭和工作中已经很普遍了，网吧仍在扮演着和10年前同样的角色。综合上述信息可知：上网的人常在网上互相交流，而不是用传统寄信的方式。

48．D。主旨题。短文第一、二段指出了全文的中心。雅虎关于全球最佳网吧的调查显示，旧金山的一家自助洗衣店也许是世界上最不平常的网吧之一，而位于莫斯科红场的时尚俱乐部绝对是世界上最时尚的网吧。举行此次评奖活动以纪念位于伦敦西区的世界上第一家网吧创立10周年。由此可知全文最佳标题应为：雅虎评选全球最佳网吧。

（C）

这是一篇新闻类阅读材料。根据福布斯《财富》杂志的最新统计，2005年富豪榜又有新变动，微软创始人比尔·盖茨连续第11年高居榜首。

49．D。计算题。根据第三段第二句“（全球最大钢铁制造商）米塔尔成为最大的美元收获者，目前其净资产总值为250亿美元，比去年上涨了188亿美元，在富豪榜的排名上升了59位，现居第三名。通过计算可得他的净财富翻了四番。

50．A。事实细节题。根据第二段和第三段内容：微软创始人比尔·盖茨连续第11年高居榜首，他的公司的净财富为465亿美元，略低于去年的466亿美元；紧跟在第二位的是投资者沃伦·巴菲特，他的资产从2004年的429亿美元上升到现在的440亿美元。米塔尔的净财富翻了四番，比去年上涨了188亿美元。由此可知，比尔·盖茨是负增长。D项的保罗·艾伦不是前三名之内，可排除。

51．C。细节题。短文的最后两段提到了富豪人数比去年增多的原因：一系列的事实共同造就了这种增长，包括世界各地的许多股票市场的积极表现，以及美元的不断贬值。过去几年来全球经济的全面恢复，以及对油类和钢铁等商品的需求激增，都使富者愈富。而C项的“油类和钢铁工业的快速发展”不符此意。

52．B。计算题。根据第三段内容：今年的亿万富翁的人数达到了历史性的691人，高于去年的587人，而且他们的净财富总额上升到2.2亿万美元，比去年增加了三千亿美元。再根据第五段内容：今年有一位新的亿万富豪叫做玛莎·斯图尔特，她是富豪榜上的68位女性之一，去年排在第53位。她的财富上升到了10亿美元。由此可知，在691人中女性占68位，即占10%左右。

（D）

这是一篇科普文。本文讲叙的是天文学方面的知识面，介绍了有关“黑洞”的最新发现及相关知识。

53．A。事实归纳题。根据第四段“they are completely invisible to us on Earth”一句可知：它是个在地球上看不见的一个天体。A项与此意义不符。

54．B。细节题。根据短文最后一段“This special observatory uses X-rays rather than light to watch far out into space”一句可知：这种非凡的同步卫星能够利用X光而不是普通的光来观测太空。

55．D。事实归纳题。短文中第三段最后一句“Their size, their mass, and their inescapable gravity make black holes a giant force of nature in outer space”解释了A项“黑洞”为什么有巨大的力量；第二段讲叙了“黑洞”吞入它四周所有的星球；最后一段提到，当一颗星球被吸入时，它产生大量的X线。由此证实A、B、C三项在短文中都提到。D项“黑洞”的产生没有提到。

56．A。细节题。根据第一段“Astronomers last week discovered a pair of enormous black holes far out in the galaxy that appear to be dancing toward each other.”一句可知：最新的发现是“两个黑洞正相向运行”。而B、C、D项的内容是有关黑洞的早先发现。

（E）

这是一篇时尚类短文。《蒙娜丽莎》堪称传世名作，长期以来，画中蒙娜丽莎的神秘微笑让众多艺术爱好者们迷惑不解。最近，一种“情绪识别软件”《蒙娜丽莎的微笑》之谜进行了解读。蒙娜丽莎的微笑中主要是喜悦，但还有厌烦、惧怕和、愤怒。

57．B。推测题。根据第三段内容可知：这项研究根据“年轻女子脸庞”数据库，研究并推断出了年轻女子的“正常”面部神情。“情绪识别软件”就是用这个“正常”面部表情作为比较标准的。这个软件还能根据人物的情绪和生理特征识别出恐怖嫌疑犯。由此推测这种软件可应用于侦察罪犯。

58．A。细节题。根据第二段第一句可知：“情绪识别软件”通过对肖像面部特征的定量分析来评估人物的情绪，比如，嘴唇的曲度和眼睛四周的皱纹。由此可得答案。

59．C。事实判定题。由短文最后一句可知：这幅画被认为是以画中人的名字命名的，她很可能是佛罗伦萨人弗朗西斯科·德尔·吉奥康德的妻子。由此可得他的妻子可能叫蒙娜丽莎。

60．A。主旨题。短文首段指出：近日，科学家们运用“情绪识别软件”对莱昂纳多·达·芬奇的名画《蒙娜丽莎的微笑》之谜进行了解读。分析结果表明，蒙娜丽莎的微笑中带有83％的喜悦，9％的厌烦，6％的惧怕和2％的愤怒。根据短文标题概括性、针对性和醒目性原则可知A项是正确的。

第三节 书面表达

As the summer vacation is drawing near. I plan to do something that I can’t afford during the school days.

First of all, I’ll go to the country to visit my grandparents. If possible, I’d like to go outdoors during the day to catch tadpoles for fun and experience life in the field as well. Getting close to nature not only benefits my health but also improves my practical skills.

Second, I’ll spend some time staying with my grandma, chatting with her and scrubbing her back. My grandma is lying in bed because of the age and sickness. She has done a lot to my family. I think it is time for me to do something for her.

I’m sure I’ll have a wonderful time during the summer vacation.
