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A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

(A)

"Stay the course," the phrase dropped by Bush administration as it searched for a new policy in Iraq, was declared the catch phrase of 2006 on last Thursday by language use group Global Language Monitor. "It makes number one because it was declared inoperative," said Global Language monitor President Paul JJ Payack.

In second place was the ill-fated book title. "If I Did It" by O.J. Simpson (former US football star). The idea of O.J. Simpson telling how he would have killed his ex-wife and her friend if he had actually murdered them annoyed so many people that it was withdrawn. But the phrase was an immediate winner in the language. Simpson was found not guilty of the murders in a criminal trial but held liable the deaths in a civil proceeding (民事诉讼).

In third place was a series of emotion symbols used in E-mail and text messages: "# - )" which Payack said meant "wasted." In fourth was "Airline Pulp," a Chinese-English combined way of describing food served aboard an airliner.

Serial Texter was fifth, indicating the widespread use of text messages among the world's youth.

56．The term “catch phrase” means _____.

A．a phrase which is used by high officials

B．a book which sells best in an area

C．an expression which is in popular use

D．a person who influences the society most

57．“If I Did It” takes the second place among the top phrases probably because _____.

A．it is a book title B．it is declared by a football star

C．it draws people a lot of attention D．it tells about a terrible murdering

58．Which of the following phrases is the result of the “information age”?

A．Stay the course. B．If I Did It.

C．Airline Pulp. D．Serial Texter.

59．What’s the best title of the passage?

A．List of Top Catch Phrases of 2006 B．A New Policy in Iraq

C．Language Changes in 2006 D．Text Message Phrases

(B)

Main Holiday Islands

Channel Islands

The two main islands, Jersey and Quernsey, are remarkable in that they present a combination of enjoyment and peace and quiet. Neither of the land is very big (only ten miles long) and so all parts of these coasts are easily reached from the main centers ─ St. Heller and St. Peter Port. In both these towns and particularly in Jersey’s St. Heller are concentrated (集中) the amusements of really big resorts (休养地). The nearness of France gives a continental atmosphere; the weather is far better than in EnglanD．The other three islands, Jethou, Herm and Sarkare small and quiet.

Isles of Scilly

The islands are really small and quiet; the weather is warm but windy. The islands are excellent for those who enjoy exploring (探险) small inlets (水湾), creeks (小溪) and bays on foot, or even better, in a boat.

Isle of Wight

The island is 24 miles across and therefore quite large. The scenery is good and varied. The resorts are neither overlarge nor showy. The crowds seem content with entertaining but quieter holidays. The island has the best sunshine record in Britain.

Isle of Man

An island with a unique atmosphere ─ in some indefinable (难以描述的) way it is different from England, Scotland or Wales. Thirty miles long, with good roads and good public transport, the mountains, hills and glens (幽谷) are easily reached. Douglas is a major British resort and other resorts are lively.

60．Which is the largest of the islands mentioned?

A．Herm. B．The Isle of Man.

C．The Isle of Wight. D．Jersey.

61．If you want to be fairly sure you would have a lot of sun on holiday, which island would you choose?

A．The Channel Islands. B．The Isle of Man.

C．The Isle of Wight. D．The Scilly Isle.

62．If you are having a holiday on Jersey, where would you go for amusement?

A．Douglas. B．Sandown.

C．St. Heller. D．St. Peter Port.

63．In which way are the Channel Islands different from all the other island holiday places?

A．The coasts are easily reached from the main centres.

B．There are more islands there.

C．There is something French about them.

D．The weather is better.

(C)

A new study has found that all women need to lower their stress levels is a strong and happy marriage. A team of researchers led by James A．Coan, a University of Virginia neuroscientist (神经学家) has found that women under threat who hold their husbands' hands show signs of immediate relief, which can clearly be seen on their brain scans.

Coan, an assistant professor in the U.VA．Neuroscience Graduate Program and the Department of Psychology, and his team conducted a study involving several couples who rated themselves as highly satisfied with their marriages.

The researchers designed a functional MRI (magnetic resonance imaging磁共振成像) study in which 16 married women were subjected to the threat of a very mild electric shock while they by turns held their husband's hand, the hand of a stranger (male) or no hand at all.

They found that the MRI was able to show how these women's brains responded to this handholding while in a threatening situation. The researchers noted a large decrease in the brain response to threat as a function of partner handholding, and a limited decrease in this response as a function of stranger handholding.

Moreover, partner handholding effects varied as a function of marital quality, with women in the very highest quality marriages benefiting from a very powerful decrease in threat-related brain activity. "This is the first study of the neurological reactions to human touch in a threatening situation." said Dr. Coan.

64．The study shows that _____ can be the best way to lessen stress for women.

A．high-quality marriages B．holding their husband’s hand

C．getting married D．being strong and happy

65．How do the researchers create the threatening situation in the experiment?

A．Forcing the women to hold the hand of a stranger.

B．Giving the women a very mild electric shock.

C．Putting the women in a dark and silent room.

D．Telling the story of sad marriage.

66．According to the study, the larger decrease in the brain response to the threat, _____.

A．the more satisfied you’ll be with the marriage.

B．the more disappointed you’ll be with the marriage.

C．the more eager you’ll be to get married.

D．the less reliable husband you’ll have.

67．We can infer that the passage could be published in _____.

A．a book about love and marriage

B．a magazine on entertainment

C．a section of home news in the newspaper

D．a science journal on psychology

(D)

About 90 per cent of Chinese believe the polarization (分化) between the rich and poor is "serious" in China, according to a survey conducted by China Youth Daily. And more than 80 per cent of the respondents (对象) surveyed said something must be done to narrow the expanding gap between the rich and poor, while 14.1 per cent said it was unnecessary.

The polarization has aroused wide concern among the public in recent years. The State Development and Reform Commission (国家发改委) said the Gini Coefficient had reached 0.47 for China, up from 0.29 two decades ago. Usually, a country with a number above 0.4 is warned to pay more attention to the income inequality problem.

To find out the people's view, the survey covered 10,250 respondents, between the ages of 20 and 30 with a college education and a monthly salary between 1,000 and 3,000 yuan. Surprisingly, most disagreed with the view of experts who claim the urban-rural difference is causing the widening gap. More than 70 per cent of the respondents believed that "the group of special interests" is the prime reason for the polarization. Followed by "people in power" 68 per cent, and "bosses" 50 per cent.

Another unexpected finding almost all agreed that a good educational background and knowledge were not the decisive factors in gaining wealth. About 95 per cent said rich people are not necessarily those who are able to speak English or have a college education.

Today in China, rich people, accounting for 10 per cent of the population, control 45 per cent of the total social fortune, and poor people, also 10 per cent of the population, only control 1.5 per cent, according to an investigation published by the National Bureau of Statistics last June.

68．It can be inferred that the Gini Coefficient (in paragraph 2 ) would probably be _____.

A．a unit used in advanced mathematics

B．the degree of a country’s development

C．the level of the citizen’s living standard

D．a measure of income inequality

69．Experts hold the view that the main reason for the polarization is _____.

A．the urban- rural difference

B．the group of special interests

C．the people in power

D．the bosses

70．Which statement is correct according to the text?

A．The total social fortune of the rich is more than that of the other population

B．Not all respondents surveyed thought it necessary to close the gas between the rich and

poor.

C．The respondents surveyed have the same view as the experts.

D．Those who can speak English and have a college education can easily become rich.

71．Which of the following can show the correct proportion of the social fortune among population?

(E)

It's hardly surprising that weather is a favourite topic for so many people around the world - it affects where we choose to live, what we wear, our moods, and perhaps even our national characteristics. Studies have shown that changeable weather can make it difficult to concentrate, cloudy skies slow down reaction, and high humidity with hot, dry winds makes many people bad-tempered.

If you live in a place like Britain, where the weather seems to change daily if not hourly, you could be forgiven for thinking that the weather is random. In fact the weather is controlled by systems which move around areas of the globe. In the UK the weather depends on depressions, often called ‘lows’, and anticyclones, also known as ‘highs’. These systems start in the Atlantic Ocean, and make their way across the British Isles from the west to the east. Highs bring sunny weather, while lows bring rain and wind. In modern times, human activity seems to be altering weather patterns. Gases produced by heavy industry change the temperature of the Earth’s surface, and affect cloud formation. Some researchers say that factories in Europe and North America may have been one of the causes of the droughts in Africa in the 1980s.

The human race has always tried to guess the weather, especially in areas of the world where there are frequent changes. Traditional rhymes point to early attempts to identify weather patterns, popular poems include:

Red sky at night, shepherds’ delight; Red sky in the morning, shepherds’ warning.

Flies will swarm before a storm.

Rain before 7, clear by 11.

While folk wisdom can still provide a guide to help forecast weather, today’s methods of prediction increasingly rely on technology. Satellites, balloons, ships, aircraft and weather centres with sensitive monitoring equipment, send data to computers. The data is then processed, and the weather predicted. However, even this system cannot predict weather for longer than about a week.

72．When the weather keeps changing, _____.

A．people become bad-tempered

B．people’s reaction slow down

C．people find it hard to focus on their work

D．people become hungrier

73．Which of the following questions could have the answer in the second paragraph?

A．What causes changes in the weather?

B．What’s the weather like in Britain?

C．Who should be responsible to the droughts in Africa in the 1980s?

D．Why is the weather in the UK changeable?

74．According to a traditional rhyme, if there is a red sky at night, the next day will be _____.

A．windy B．rainy C．fine D．snowy

75．Which of the following statements is true?

A．Anticyclones often bring rain and wind.

B．Weather forecasting has been done for a long time.

C．The weather in Britain is random.

D．Modern methods of weather prediction are developed from folk wisdom.

54．A。此处like作连词，意为：象……一样。

55．B。句意：给他们打电话吧，告诉他们你很想念他们。miss意为“想念”。

第三部分：阅读理解

(A)

这是一篇文化类阅读材料。全球语言监控机构最新公布了2006年全球最流行的语言。布什政府在公布所谓对伊新政策时所用的stay the course（坚持到底）一词名列榜首。

56．C。词义猜测题。由全文列举的排行前五位短语的来历和意义判定，catch phrase意义为“流行语”。

57．C。推断题。短文第二提到：排名第二的是O·J·辛普森那本注定遭厄运的书的名字If I Did It（《假如我做了》）。辛普森在书中以一种假设的口吻叙述了他杀害前妻及其男友的经过。这本书因引发众怒而遭封杀，但书名If I Did It却成了句流行语。

58．D。细节题。短文最后一段提到：Serial Texter（连环短信王）位居第五，反映了当下世界各地的年轻人爱发短信的流行时尚。由此可知Serial Texter是“信息时代”的产物。

59．A。主旨题。全文按顺序分别介绍了2006年前五个流行语的来历和意义。因此，用“2006年度流行语排行榜”能概括全文的中心。

(B)

这是一篇广告阅读材料。本文介绍了英国几个供人们休闲度假的岛屿。

60．B。细节题。综合文中提供的相关信息可知，Herm是small and quiet；The Isle of Man是Thirty miles long；The Isle of Wight是24 miles across；Jersey 是only ten miles long。最大的岛屿应为 “the Isle of Man”。

61．C。推断题。由文中the Island of Wight “has the best sunshine record in Britain” 可知。

62．C。细节题。由文中第一段： “…particularly in Jersey’s St. Heller, are concentrated the amusements of really big resorts.”可知答案是C。

63．D。细节题。由Channel Islands一段“…the weather is far better than in England ” 可知：天气好是与其它地方不同的D。

(C)

这是一篇科普类阅读材料。一项最新研究发现，牢固美满的婚姻有助于缓解女性的压力。

64．A。细节题。由短文第一句可知：幸福婚姻有助于缓解女性压力。

65．B。细节题。短文第三段提到：研究人员设计了一项功能磁共振成像研究，他们让16名已婚女性在受到弱电击时分别握住丈夫的手、握住一位生疏男性的手以及不握手。由此可得答案。

66．A。推断题。短文第四段提到：研究人员发现，受到威胁的女性抓住丈夫的手时，脑部反应明显减弱；而抓住生疏男性的手时，脑部反应的变化则没有那么明显。由此推断可得答案。

67．D。推断题。从事这项研究的科学家是弗吉尼亚大学神经学家詹姆斯·A·可恩。他是弗吉尼亚大学神经系统科学硕士项目和心理学系的副教授。短文最后一句可恩博士说：“这一研究首次对人在受到威胁的情况下进行身体接触所产生的神经学反应进行了探究。”由此推断这项研究结果可能发表在有关心理科学的刊物上。

(D)

这是一篇新闻类阅读材料。本文根据一项调查结果得出结论：近9成的国人认为目前贫富分化问题严重。专家认为城乡差距是导致贫富差距不断扩大的主要原因。而许多调查对象认为“非凡利益集团”、“权力人士”、“大老板”的存在是导致贫富悬殊的主要原因。

68．D。词义猜测题。根据第二段意义：据国家发改委介绍，目前我国的“基尼指数”已达到了0.47，比20年前高0.29。 通常来说，假如一个国家的基尼指数超过了0.4的警戒线，其贫富差距问题就比较严重了。由此猜测“基尼指数”是衡量收入不平等问题程度的尺度。

69．A。细节题。根据第三段第二句意义：令人惊奇的是，调查发现大多数人并不认同专家所说的“城乡差距是导致贫富差距不断扩大的主要原因”。由此可知，专家的观点是“城乡差距”。

70．B。细节归纳题。根据第一段第二句意义：80%以上的调查对象认为，必须采取一些措施缩小贫富差距，而14.1%的人则认为没有这个必要。B项中的not all respondents表示部分否定，即“并非所有的调查对象认为有必要”。

71．A。图文转换题。根据短文最后一段意义：国家统计局公布的一项调查显示，目前中国的富人占总人口的10%，却占据了45%的社会总财富；穷人数量也占总人口的10%，但只拥有社会总财富的1.5%。由此推算其他人占社会总财富的53.5%。

(E)

这是一篇自然类阅读材料。天气是人们常提起的话题，它在很多方面影响着人们的生活，天气的变化受大自然和人类活动等因素的影响。

72．C。词义转换题。根据第一段“…changeable weather can make it difficult to concentrate”意义，concentrate可用focus on their work代替。

73．A。段落主旨题。此段讲述的是影响天气变化的两个主要因素：一个是受环地球四周的大气系统所控制（controlled by systems which move around areas of the globe），另一个是受人类活动的影响（human activity seems to be altering weather patterns），因此，A项正确。

74．C。细节理解题。由民间谚语Red sky at night, shepherds’ delight; Red sky in the morning, shepherds’ warning可知：晚上天红，牧羊犬兴奋；早上天红，牧羊犬警鸣。意思是假如在晚上天色是红的话，那第二天会是好天气，但是假如在清晨天色是红的话，天气就会变差。

75．B。细节归纳题。由短文“Traditional rhymes point to early attempts to identify weather patterns”一句可知，人们很久以前就进行天气猜测了。

第四部分 写作

第一节 短文改错

76．去掉to。home在此用作副词，不能与介词连词。

77．stood之后加up。stand up表示“站起来”。

78．had之前加that。此句是it is…that…强调句型。

79．step改为stepped。由下文主句的谓语动词的形式可知，此处表示与将来事实可能相反的虚拟，用过去式。

80．as改为like。意义是“像……一样”，表此意义时，as是连词接从句，like是介词接名词，代词。

81．正确。

82．which改为where。此处是定语从句，先行词表地点，在从句中作表语。

83．away改为into。构成throw sth. into…，意义是“将……丢入垃圾箱”。

84．去掉was。happen是不及物动词，不能用被动语态。

85．what 改为that 或去掉what。all之后接定语从句，all是不定代词，关系代词用that，在从句中作宾语，可以省略。

第二节 书面表达

Making a Better Decision

Now many students are faced with problems like deciding whether to focus on science or art. Not taking the child’s interest or preferences into account, some parents force their child to make the choice as their will, which troubles many students.

Throughout our lives we are going to have to make many choices. As students we should talk to our parents or teachers especially on life-changing decisions. But when it comes down to it, we are the ones who must live with our choices. On the other hand, the parents should try to help children make the best possible decisions, instead of forcing them to do something against their will.

It depends on students themselves whether they’ll be science students or art students. Just let their hearts show them the way.

Good morning, everyone. Today I’d like to give a lecture on cycling tours. Well, for anyone who is considering going on a tour, the first thing to consider is safety. So it’s very important indeed to consider what you wear. Wear something that can easily be seen, red jackets, for example. You know many accidents happen because drivers simply fail to see the cyclists.

Second, don’t try to ride too far, too quickly. Take your time, and if you feel tired, stop and rest. Remember the joy of cycling tours is the riding itself. Get close to nature and see things you wouldn’t normally see if you were traveling by car or bus.

And if you’re planning your journey in the summer, take plenty of water. You are advised to drink at least one liter of water every hour. If the weather is not very warm, make sure you take some warm clothes. And put them on when you stop riding. Even in cold weather you can become very warm when you are riding and then it is very easy to catch a cold or even get a fever when you stop.
