第三部分：阅读理解（共17小题；每小题2分，满分34分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项

A

On September 22, 1986, Jay Brunkella, a police-officer in the Rogers Park district in Chicago, was shot during a drug arrest and died. Shortly afterwards, fellow officer Ken Knapcik, a 20-year veteran （老警官） of the force, returned home after work to find a note from his 15-year-old daughter on the dining table.

Dad-This poem came directly from my heart. I love you so much! It scares and amazes me that you go out every day and risk everything to provide us with all that we have. I wrote this to express how much I love you and how much lost I’d be without you-Laura. P.S.: Hey, let’s be careful out there.

Titled “The Ultimate Cop”, Laura’s poem was dedicated “To all the cops in the world who have daughters who love them with all their hearts. And especially to my dad.” It was about a police-officer’s daughter who sees on the night time news that her father has been shot. Part of poem: “Daddy, my Daddy, can you hear me cry? Oh, God, I need my Daddy, please don’t let him die.”

Ken Knapcik stood alone as he read the poem. “It took me several minutes,” he said. “I’d get through part of it and have to stop before I could go on. I was weeping. She had never told me she was scared.” He took the poem to work the next day and showed it to his fellow officers. “I’ve never seen so many grown men cry. Some couldn’t finish it.”

Knapcik keeps Laura’s poem in the pocket of his police jacket. He takes it with him every time he leaves the house for a new shift. “I don’t want to be out there without it.” he said, “I’ll probably carry it with me forever.”

56．Laura wrote the poem ______.

A．in memory of her father who was shot in the drug arrest

B．to show her great sorrow in losing her father

C．to show her respect to all the cops who lost their lives

D．to tell officer Ken Knapcik how much she loved him

57．All the officers cried because ______.

A．Jay Brunkella was shot and died

B．they were greatly touched by the poem

C．the poem was so sad that they couldn’t hold back their tears

D．they thought of their dangerous life

58．Knapcik keeps Laura’s poem in his pocket ______.

A．to treasure her daughter’s love and to value his own life

B．to keep it from missing

C．because he can’t go out without it

D．to mourn over the death of officer Jay Brunkella

59．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A．Poem for a cop B．An officer’s death

C．Daughter’s love D．Love my job, love my daughter

B

In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition（学会） of each new skill — the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing．It is common that parents hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child．This might happen at any stage．A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, and a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads．On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm（热情） for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.

Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children．Some may be especially strict in money matters; others are severe over time of coming home at night or punctuality（准时） for meals．In general, the controls imposed（强加的） represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community（社区） as much as the child’s own happiness.

As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching．To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality． Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”．If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach（说教）, their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.

A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.

60．Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills _____.

A．should be avoided

B．is universal among parents

C．sets up dangerous states of worry in the child

D．will make him lose interest in learning new things

61．When children are learning new skills, parents should _____.

A．encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read

B．not expect too much of them

C．achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own

D．create as many learning opportunities as possible

62．The second paragraph mainly tells us that _____.

A．parents should be strict with their children

B．parental controls satisfy only the needs of the parents and the values of the community

C．parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children alone

D．parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation

63．The underlined word “precept” （in Paragraph 3） probably means “_____”.

A．idea B．punishment C．behavior D．instruction

C

People say teenagers are no good. They make too much noise in shopping malls; they drive recklessly up and down America’s main streets; they carry chips on their shoulders as big as the Sears Tower. And at least some of the time those things are true. But we shouldn’t forget that there are hard moments in the life of a teenager too.

　　I watched such a moment not long ago at a woman’s funeral（葬礼）. I didn’t expect the event to affect me. Through much of the ceremony, in fact, I remained unmoved.

　　Then her teenage grandson stepped forward. With his very first deep breath, every heart in that church was achingly reminded of something we had all forgotten. Softly he began: “I want to share a few values that Nana taught me. She never failed to see light in any situation. When our family dog would literally attack her, what would Nana say? ‘Oh, what beautiful markings that dog has.’ That was Nana.

　　“She was a strong woman who often lived in the shadow of my grandpa, who was a successful businessman in this city. But she was the one behind the scenes who provided the strength and support for Grandpa’s career,” he said, with a voice now trembling. “That was Nana’s way.”

　　Through a muffled sob, he continued. “Whenever she did anything worth recognition, you’d have to hear about it from a different source, because she was never one to brag.”

　　Finally, in a voice breaking free of sorrow, he looked up and said, “Nana taught me courage. She put up an incredible fight to the end, when she died peacefully, which is how she lived her life. That was Nana’s way, and I hope I can carry on in the same manner.”

　　There are no hearts as sensitive as those of teenagers, because everything is happening to them for the first time. The trouble with teenagers is that they haven’t learned to be controlled.

　　When that boy rose to speak about the woman who surely had been his truest ally and dearest friend, his honest voice dragged each of us out into the open where we could no longer hide in the calm ritual. He exposed us to the truth about this very real woman who believed in a boy who probably tried the patience of many adults. He reminded us that his grandmother was more than another dot on the chart of life and death.

　　All over again we felt those powerful losses crisscrossing our own hearts, and we knew that when you say good-bye to a beloved grandparent, you say good-bye to something happy, something young in yourself. And that something never really returns, and the pain never really goes away.

64．According to the first paragraph, _____________.

　　 A．young people should keep quiet before the public

　　 B．people don’t think highly of the teenagers

　　 C．people shouldn’t forget the young people

　　 D．young people are living a hard life

65．From the boy’s speech, we know his grandmother ____________.

　　 A．was a weak woman living in the shadow of his grandpa

　　 B．liked dogs very much even if they often attacked her

　　 C．could see everything around her though she was old

　　 D．had great influence over the boy when she was alive

66．We can infer from the passage that the boy ___________.

　　 A．was filled with sadness and gave up finishing his talk

　　 B．was always very good at expressing himself

　　 C．practiced a lot in order to give a moving speech

　　 D．had great difficulty in accepting the loss of Nana

67．The writer wanted to tell the readers ____________.

　　 A．the young people were too weak to face the fact

　　 B．the young people had to learn to control themselves

　　 C．the adults could learn something valuable from the young

D．the adults should teach the young how to deal with the death

D

In the age of reality television, success isn’t the only way to the public eye. Failure can also create fame, just like William Hung, 21, a native of Hong Kong.

Hung recently has made an agreement with US-based entertainment firms Koch Records and Fuse Music Network. They will publish a full-length record, titled “The True Idol” on April 6.

The idol is a civil engineering student at the University of California at Berkeley. He did a version of Ricky Martin’s “She Bangs” on the television show “American Idol 3”, on January 27. The Fox TV singing contest searches for pop stars among ordinary people. In the case of Hung, however, his act was so bad that the judges cut him off in mid-act.

Hung’s response? “I already gave my best, so I have no regrets at all.” That’s good, because any common person would have found plenty to regret: The off-key singing. The blue Hawaiian shirt worn with pants pulled up too high. The terrible dancing. The hips jerking （摇摆） to a beat that did not belong to the song, maybe not even to this planet. It was, by all accounts, bad.

But, it was this very bad act that sold well.

Marc Juris, president of Fuse, explained it this way: “Every one of us is happily guilty of singing our favorite song at the top of our lungs with complete freedom, completely off-key and completely unworried. That’s what William did and immediately won the hearts of America.”

Whatever it is, for the moment it’s big. Three websites devoted to Hung have gone up on the Internet in the past few weeks. Versions of his performance have been remixed with hip hop and techno-music and have made it to the top 10 request list at a Chicago radio station.

So, what does Hung think of this?

“There were all these people saying things about me. A lot were saying I was very courageous and that I was great on the show, but some didn’t have much respect for me and some were kind of mean.”

Now he says he’s not so sure whether to distance himself from the glamour （魅力） or to accept it. Returning to normal hasn’t been easy.

68．What is the main idea of this passage?

A．Sometimes an idol behaves quite foolishly．

B．Hung's performance attracted the public eye.

C．How an unsuccessful person became famous．

D．Success sometimes does not require hard work.

69．Hung was popular in America for all the following reasons EXCEPT ________

A．his shirt and pants　　　 B．his off-key singing

C．his hips jerking　　　　　 D．his excellent version

70．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 6 refer to?

A．William Hung.　　　　　 B．Hung's bad act．

C．Hung’s website.　　　　 D．The public’s opinion．

71 Which of the following slows the correct order of what happened to Hung?

a．The entertainment firms made an agreement with Hung.

b．The judges cut Hung off in mid-act in the singing contest．

c．Hung became popular among Americans.

d．Hung gave a terrible performance though he tried his best.

e．Three websites put Hung’s funny performance on the Internet.

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

72．Why was Hung able to win the hearts of America?

A．His success was based on his own hard work.

B．He attracted people’s attention in the contest.

C．He was good-looking though he didn’t sing well.

D．His character was completely different from other idols’.

阅读下面短文．根据文后各题的具体要求回答问题。

Airport security has been tightened after the terrorist attacks of September 11. When people fly, their identity is carefully checked. This, at least, eliminates known dangerous people but, of course, cannot help with new recruits （新成员） or cases of forged documents. More important is the effort to keep passengers from bringing on board anything that could be used as a weapon. For this purpose, all passengers have to pass through a metal detector. These work by means of a series of very brief magnetic fields. Metal objects affect these fields as they disappear, and in fact make them last a few microseconds longer than normal. The machine Call recognize this and then sends an audio signal to alert staff. When this happens, the passenger will be subject to a more detailed search to establish what is causing the detection to react.

Passengers’ luggage passes on a conveyor belt through an X-ray machine. This sends out electro-magnetic waves. Since different materials absorb X-rays at different levels, with a little help from a computer, the operator can see distinct items in people’s bags. The display monitor usually shows different types of materials in different colors. Explosives usually appear orange. Operators also look for suspicious shapes and items. If they have any doubts, the passenger will be asked to open the bag for inspection.

Complex electronic equipment, such as laptop computers, offers a considerable challenge to detectors. It is almost impossible to know what is hidden in one just by looking. Some airports tackle this with “chemical sniffers” that can detect traces of chemicals used in explosives．

73．Find a word in the passage similar in meaning to the word in bold “distinct”．

________________________________________________________

74．Why do all passengers have to get checked?

（不超过9个单词）

第四部分 书面表达（共两节，满分35分）

第一节 填空（共10小题，满分10分）

阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在文后第76至第85小题的空格里填上适当的单词或短语。注重：每空不超过3 个单词。

There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.

People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things.

Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend （hurt） many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.

Though in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrong doings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
