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）

Would you like to know if your body is older or younger than it should be? Dr. David Wikenheiser has been studying aging in Vancouver, Canada, for the past 10 years and has found the average person is 15 or more years older biologically than their actual age.

He says: “We all know people who are 30 but look over 40, and others who are 70 yet look 50, the difference comes down to lifestyle. Some peoples’ bodies get ‘rusty（生锈）’ faster than others, and this makes them age more quickly.”

After conducting more than 3,000 tests, Dr. Wikenheiser believes that, on average, you can lower your biological age by 10 years in three months with the right lifestyle changes.

“You can’t change your genetics（遗传学） but you can make other changes such as eating the right food, drinking enough water to flush out toxins（毒素）, exercising and managing stress,” he says. But exercising too much is just as bad as not doing enough. Working out for more than two hours at a time every day puts too great a strain on your heart.

“Multivitamin and antioxidant supplements are important even if you’re eating the right amount of fruit and vegetables. Today’s soil tends to lack important minerals so these are no longer found in the food we eat, in large enough quantities. We should also change bleached（漂白） white table salt for natural sea salt which is much better for us.” It’s also important to eat three meals a day. Missed meals put a strain on your brain as your blood sugar level drops. Many of us are also eating the wrong fats or avoiding fat altogether, so we miss out important nutritional oils.

41．The passage is mainly about .

A．how to lower your biological age B．how to live a healthier life

C．how to keep young D．how to select a good diet

42．From the passage we can conclude that the most important factor in slowing your aging process is .

A．exercise B．diet C．lifestyle D．genetics

43．What’s the author’s suggestion on how we get proper minerals?

A．We should exercise at least two hours a day instead of three hours.

B．We should avoid fat of any kind by not eating meat or animals.

C．We should have no more Multivitamin and antioxidant supplements.

D．We should have natural sea salt instead of bleaches white table salt.

44．Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage?

A．The actual age looks more important than biological age.

B．People can change their genetics by enough exercising.

C．The present soil is short of important minerals.

D．A strain and blood sugar have a bad effect on bodies.

（B）

Want to take an out-of-this-world trip? Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic plans to make that possible. Beginning in 2009, people should have the opportunity to become space tourists, traveling at about 3,000 mph to heights about 75 miles above Earth. Branson has high hopes for his latest plans. "It is just the start of what we believe will be a new age in the history of mankind—one day making the affordable exploration of space by human beings a real possibility," he said.

At the start, though, the trip won’t be cheap. Seats aboard Virgin’s first craft—VSS Enterprise—will cost about $200,000. Prices could drop after the first hundred space flights. Despite the current ticket cost, more than 30,000 people—including celebrities（名人）Sigourney Weaver and Victoria Principal—have expressed interest in getting onboard.

People who don't have an extra $200,000 still have a chance to get a seat aboard the craft. A computer game contest and a reality television show are in the works. Those who can’t afford a ticket will have an opportunity to win a seat.

Virgin is expected to be the first commercial spacecraft. It will hold six passengers and two pilots. Passengers will be able to see the Earth from many different viewpoints. The cabin will include 15 floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing for views that extend about 1,000 miles in any direction.

Passengers will have three days of preflight preparation. On the big day, the spacecraft will take off from the Mojave Spaceport in the California desert. The craft will rocket passengers into space at four times the speed of sound. The journey will last about 2 1/2 hours. Passengers will wear spacesuits and helmets（头盔）. They will be able to float around the cabin and do somersaults（空翻）during the five minutes of weightlessness they will experience in zero gravity. At the end of the flight, the craft will land on a runway.

45．Virgin Galactic could be _____.

A．the engineer of the first commercial spacecraft

B．the name of a series of spacecrafts

D．a passenger aboard the first commercial spacecraft

46．The space passengers will do all the following except that _____.

B．Many people signed up for space travel in spite of the high ticket cost.

C．Those without much money could also go space travel without occupying the seats.

D．The first commercial spacecraft will have six persons on board.

B．The living condition of space tourists in the craft.

C．Preparations for a space travel.

D．Plans for the first commercial space flight.

President Bush met with many of Asia's top leaders this past week. During his trip, the President attended the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation （APEC） conference in Hanoi, Vietnam. He asked the organization's 21 members to take a stand against North Korea's nuclear program and to fight terrorism.

APEC members did not sign a formal written agreement asking North Korea to stop its nuclear program. However, Vietnamese President Nguyen Minh Triet read aloud a statement of support at the end of the conference. After its October 9 nuclear test, North Korea agreed to resume negotiations with the United States, Russia, China, Japan, and South Korea about ending its nuclear program. But no dates for the meetings have been set.

Bush received a warm welcome when he arrived in Vietnam. During his three-day trip, the President took a tour of the country's economic capital, Ho Chi Minh City. Vietnamese officials considered the President’s visit important. The United States and Vietnam have had a rocky relationship since the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. Both nations agreed to fight diseases like AIDS and bird flu. They also promised to increase trade and to create a good military relationship.

Bush also met with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Bush signed an agreement supporting Russia's entry to the World Trade Organization （WTO）. The WTO is an international organization that monitors and enforces rules about global trade.

After Vietnam, Bush flew to Indonesia and spent six hours there. While there, he met with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. The President made his last stop in Honolulu, Hawaii, on Tuesday where he had breakfast with U.S. military troops and met with commanders. He returned to the White House on Wednesday.

49．It can be inferred that the most important purpose of President Bush’s visit to Asia is to _____.

A．stay away from his busy career

B．host the APEC conference

51．Which topic is not included in the passage?

D．North Korea's nuclear program is none of his business.

（D）

Maps and statistics can tell us a lot about where a country is headed. Take the US Census Bureau's latest findings on American cities. They show that for the first time since 1900, Detroit is not on the list of the Top 10 most populous US cities. In its place is San Jose, California.

Detroit has been the long-time centre of the US auto industry, but in the past few years the "Big Three" US automakers － General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler － have closed plants and laid off workers. With the factory closings and huge job losses, Detroit cannot collect enough tax revenue to pay its bills, forcing it to close schools and lay off city workers. Cutbacks then cause others to flee the city.

"It's part of a pattern for the heavily industrialized cities," says Dana Johnson, an economist in Detroit. "There's been an ongoing dynamic（变化）here of people fleeing the city looking for better schools, better lifestyles, better services."

Detroit is hardly alone. After World War II, the US was the world's leading manufacturer. Cars, televisions, toys, and clothing made in America were exported around the world. As a result, the well-paid factory workers formed the backbone of a rising middle class. In the last three decades, the US economy has changed. Companies have moved factories overseas to take advantage of lower wages in Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe.

Where are people who leave the northeast and midwest going? They are moving south and west, another broad trend. In general, people are moving to where it's warmer, less expensive and less crowded, or where jobs are more plentiful in growing service industries like health care, in the technology sector, or in factories that moved from the northeast or midwest.

In a sense, the computer chips of San Jose, the new 10th largest city, in the heart of what is known as Silicon Valley, have replaced the sheet metal and molten steel of Detroit as the symbol of American economic power.

53．The main difficulty that Detroit is now facing is _____.

A．the factory closings and huge job losses

B．many people’s moving to the south and west

C．the poor quality of the automobile

D．the lack of the computer chips

54．Which of the following isn’t the trend of the change?

A．The decline of the manufacturing economy.

B．Companies’ moving overseas.

C．The end of the US cities’ development.

D．The migration of Americans to the south and west.

55．Which of the following is not true about San Jose?

A．The newly-listed 10th largest city.

B．The heart of Silicon Valley.

C．The symbol of American economic power.

D．The centre of the heavily industrialized cities.

56．Which statement is not correct according to the passage?

A．Detroit has been on the list of the Top 10 most populous US cities for over a century.

B．People immigrate south and west to take advantage of lower wages there.

C．The US was an important exporting country in the middle of the last century.

D．The US economy now is not as prosperous as 30 years ago.

（E）

The huge thirst for jobs in the civil service has made the national civil servant exam one of China's most competitive tests. The first exam was held in 1995, and since then more and more people have signed up for it, with applications reaching a peak over the last two years.

The latest online survey, carried out by China Youth Daily and www.qq.com, found that more than 73 per cent of young people want to work as civil servants. Of the 17,330 respondents, about 83 per cent said they were attracted by the job's stability, guaranteed health care and pension（养老金）. Meanwhile, 55 per cent said it could bring "practical profits." Nearly 1 million people applied to take the exam last year, yet only just over 10,000 were finally employed.

This year the competition continued. The exact number of applicants is not known, with the final day for applications today. But the flood of applicants has already broken the exam's website once. China Youth Daily reported that the site was forced to close for maintenance （系统维护） due to unusually high traffic on the night of October 16.

In a typical year several hundred applicants will apply for many of the jobs listed. For example, the five job vacancies provided by the secretariat （秘书处） of the Central Committee of the Party have this year attracted more than 3,880 applicants. In general, the exam means 50 people competing for one post, the report said. Positions as civil servants are attractive, not only because of the stable income and good health care, but also because of the low risks compared with the power and resources the positions enjoy. Among the total 6 million public servants, around 20,000 were dismissed between 1996 and 2003.

57．Which of the following could not be the reason for the attraction of civil servant?

A．the stable income B．good heath care

C．practical power and profits D．low work stress level

58．Which paragraph states the fact that the number of applicants of this year is even larger than last year?

A．Paragraph 1 B．Paragraph 2 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 4

59．How many people on average will compete for one post provided by the secretariat of the Central Committee of the Party this year?

A．5 B．50 C．776 D．3880

60．Choose the correct statements from the following according to the passage?

a．Civil service exam has been held for more than 10 years.

b．Civil service exam was carried out by China Youth Daily and www.qq.com.

c．About one percent of applicants were finally employed last year.

d．Once passing the exam, one will work as a public servant forever.

e. More and more people sign up for civil service exams.

A．c, d, e B．a, c, e C．e, b, e D．b, c, d

第二节 语法和词汇知识

6．B。句意：她没有耐心，不适合做托儿所的护理工作。由于原句已有be动词，所以要用形容词作表语，A项含义不对，C项应是be suited for/to，D项suit为动词，故B项为最佳答案。

8．A。句意：因特网是获得更多信息的重要方式，但是很多人使用互联网只不过是收发电子邮件。no other n than，只不过是，purpose是“意图，目的”。aim “目标”；chance“机会”。design“设计”。

15．C。从句说从国外旅行回来到办公室，可想而知有很多事情要去处理。attend to是“处理，照顾”的意思。

16．D。第一空是固定搭配be engaged to sb.表示“与某人订婚”；第二空marry作及物动词，直接跟宾语。

17．D。句意：医疗卫生在农村发展很快。在许多村庄现在至少有一个医疗所。 at least 至少；at most 最多；less than 不到；no more than 仅仅。

19．A。get在此处是系动词，表示“越来越”；continue with（sth.）意为“继续（ 干某事）”，这时continue用作不及物动词。continue也可用作及物动词，也作“继续（干某事）”解，后面的宾语可以是名词，也可以是不定式或-ing形式。

20．A。I would rather you didn’t 可用来表达说话者的委婉拒绝，要注重would rather后面句子中谓语动词用过去式。

37．D。句意：这些年深藏着他们的秘密，但是这一天的确还是到来了——儿子经历的最黑暗的日子。did在此是加强语气；A、B两项意义上是可以的，但谓语动词的时态不一致。

38．A。句意：父亲伸手撩开母亲厚厚的、棕红色头发，发现母亲没有露在外面的耳朵。raise 撩起，掀起。take 拿起（某物）；rise 升起，（不及物动词，不带宾语）；carry搬运，抬起。

39．C。母亲说她很兴奋她从不将头发剪掉。目的是为了遮挡住耳朵。

40．B。从上下文看，此处谈及的是母亲的外貌，意为：没有人曾认为她不漂亮。

第二部分 阅读理解

第一节

（A）

这是一篇科普类阅读材料。有些人看起来比实际年龄显得更老，而有些人看起来却显得更年青。科学实验证实，只要我们有好的生活习惯，完全可以降低衰老进程。

41．A。主旨题。纵观全文，文章主要介绍了如何降低生物年龄，可以从第三段最后一行you can lower your biological age by 10 years in three months with the right lifestyle changes得出结论。

42．C。细节题。文章中如何降低生物年龄都是围绕“生活方式”展开的，并且第三段最后几个词…with the right lifestyle changes可以证实。

43．D。细节题。作者的建议，第五段第三We should also change bleached white table salt for natural sea salt which is much better for us可找到答案。

44．C。是非判定题。A、B、D选项内容都不能在文中找到，而C项内容可在第五段第二Today’s soil tends to lack important minerals so these are no longer found in the food we eat, in large enough quantities中找到，意为“现在的土壤缺少矿物质”。

（B）

这是一篇科普类短文。本文讲叙的是：布兰森（Richard Branson） 的维珍银河（Virgin Galactic）宇宙飞船目前正在接受预定，这艘飞船将于2009年开始进行太空旅行，乘客的旅行费用在20万美元左右。

45．B。推测题。根据短文中的几个要害词（第一段中的Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic；第二段中Virgin’s first craft；第四段中的Virgin）进行综合分析，Virgin Galactic （维珍银河）是系列宇宙飞船的名称，首次负担太空旅行的飞船叫VSS Enterprise。

46．C。细节题。根据短文最后一段可知，太空旅行的乘客将要接受三天的飞前培训；他们将穿太空服、带头盔；将经历失重。短文中提到了进行这次旅行乘客要花$200,000，并不是说要带这笔钱。

47．B。细节归纳题。根据第二段最后一句可知：虽然票价昂贵，有3万多人有愿望进行这次旅行。

48．D。主旨题。短文以一个疑问句开头，作者马上回答了提出的问题，巧妙引出全文的中心主题。即Virgin Galactic （维珍银河宇宙飞船）计划使太空旅行成为可能。

（C）

这是一篇新闻类阅读材料。本文报道的是美国总统布什在越南河内参加了亚太经合组织会议，并与其它国家的领导人进行了会晤，请求各成员国反对北朝鲜的核计划。

49．D。推测题。根据第一段最后一句“他要求21个成员国站起来反对北朝鲜的核计划”推测可知：布什总统此行最重要的目的是寻求联盟谴责北朝鲜。

50．B。排序题。采用首尾位定法解答此类题型。布什总统此行首先到达越南，然后与亚洲各国高层领导人会晤，然后在印度尼西亚访问六个小时，在返回途中在火奴鲁鲁作短暂停留，期间会见了美国军队官员。

51．C。归纳题。全文中没有提到对北朝鲜作战这个主题，其它主题都在短文中可以找到。

52．B。推断题。短文第二段的第二句“越南总理在大会结束时公开发表申明支持”，此句中的“支持”是承前省略，表示支持签署正式的书面条约来反对北朝鲜的核计划。由此可知越南的观点是“请求采取措施结束北朝鲜的核计划”。

（D）

这是一篇史地类阅读材料。美国统计调查局最新对美国城市的调查结果表明，全美十大城市榜有变化，底特律第一次被排弃在外，取而代之的是加州的圣何塞市。这种变化说明了什么呢？

53．A。细节题。短文第二段提到：底特律曾经一度是美国汽车工业的中心，但在过去的几年中，美国汽车行业的“三巨头” 通用、福特、克莱斯勒纷纷关门歇业，大批裁员。随着工厂关门和大批工人失业，底特律税收锐减，入不敷出，于是被迫关闭学校，解聘城市工人。由此可知底特律目前面临的最大困难是：工厂关门歇业和大批工人失业。

54．C。推断题。短文第四段提到：二战后，美国成为世界领先的生产商。美国制造的汽车、电视、玩具和服装出口销往全球。但在过去的三十年间，美国经济发生了变化。很多公司利用亚洲、拉丁美洲和西欧的廉价工资，把工厂移往了海外。第五段提到：他们到了南部和西部，这就是美国的又一股大潮。综合上述可以推断：制造业经济的衰败、美国人的南部和西部大迁移以及很多公司把工厂移往了海外是这些变化的趋势。

55．D。归纳题。短文最后一段提到：“总之，从某种意义上说，位于硅谷心脏地带的新兴十大城市之一圣何赛，凭借它的计算机芯片，已经取代了钢筋水泥城市底特律，成为美国经济力量的象征。”综合上述信息，“重工业中心”不在其例。

56．B。细节题。根据短文第三段最后一句“人们会离开这里，去寻找更好的学校、生活方式以及服务，这种情况将持续下去。”和第五段最后一句“人们一般选择去气候暖和、物价便宜、不太拥挤的地方，或者选择保健等发展中的服务工业、技术行业或者从东北部到中西部的工厂等工作机会比较多的地方。”可得答案。很多公司把工厂移往了海外是利用那里的廉价工资。

（E）

这是一篇新闻类阅读材料。本文报道的是：近几年掀起的“公务员热”使国家公务员考试成为中国竞争最激烈的考试之一。“公务员热”为何不断升温？收入稳定、医疗有保障，风险小、权力大、实惠多可能是其中重要的原因。

57．D。细节题。根据短文第二段和第四段可知：国家公务员之所以如此有诱惑力，不仅是因为收入稳定、医疗有保障，风险小、权力大、实惠多也是其中的重要原因。而D项“工作压力小”在短文中没有提到。

58．C。段落主旨题。短文第3段第一句指出了本段的中心：公务员热今年继续升温。接着指出升温的程度：国家公务员考试报名的最后一天，报名人数过多一度造成国家公务员考试报名系统的瘫痪。据中国青年报报道，登陆报名系统的人太多，国家公务员报名网站不得不暂停运转，进行系统维护。

59．C。数字计算题。根据第四段所列举的一个例子，今年中心办公厅秘书处的5个职位就吸引了3880个人报考。即平均776人竞争一个岗位。

60．B。细节判定题。短文中提到：自1995年国家公务员考试推行以来，报考公务员日渐升温，这两年更是热得发烫；去年，近100万人报考了国家公务员，而最后只有1万多人被录用。由此可以判定B组三个句子是正确的。

第二节

61—65 BFAEC

第三部分 写作

第一节 单词拼写

66．purchase 67．regularly 68．forecast 69．persuade 70．strangers 71．reform

72．identified 73．contrary 74．recovered 75．realities

第二节 短文改错

76．about改为with。quarrel的搭配是quarrel with sB．about sth.。

77．view之前加the。view之后有同位语从句，表示特指加the。

78．fully改为full。用形容词full修饰名词use。

79．me改为her。此处是母亲的观点，因此将代词me改为her。

80．unable之前加be。构成be unable to结构作谓语。

81．eye改为eyes。两只眼睛用复数。

82．watch改为watching。用作主语，用动名词形式。

83．正确。

84．had改为has。由全文的时态可知，此处表示对现在的影响，用现在完成式。

85．去掉at。abroad是副词，可单独作状语。

第三节 书面表达

It is reported that the legend “the Cowherd and the Girl Weaver” has been left out from the new edition of the primary Chinese textbook. People believe that editors have the worry that the love story would cause the tendency to early love among pupils.

I could hardly understand the editors’ thought. The story “the Cowherd and the Girl Weaver” has been told widely for a long time in our country and known to every household. It is one of the best national traditional cultures. The true, the good and the beautiful of the story have deep effects on many generations.

So it’s unnecessary to kick off the legend from the text. Children should be brought up under the true meaning of our culture.
