A month after Hurricane Katrina, I returned home in New Orleans． There lay my house, 36 to waist-high ruins, smelly and dirty．

Before the trip, I’d had my car 37 ． When the office employee of the garage was writing up the bill, she 38 my Louisiana license plate．

“You from New Orleans?” she asked．

I said I was．

“No 39 ,” she said, and firmly shook her head when I reached for my wallet．

The next day I went for a haircut, and the same thing 40 ．

As my wife was studying in Florida, we decided to 41 there and tried to find a rental house that we could 42 while also paying off a mortgage(抵押贷款) on our 43 house． We looked at many places, but none was 44 ． We’d begun to accept that we’d have to live in extremely reduced circumstances 45 , when I got a very 46 e-mail from a James Kemdedy in California． He’d read some pieces I’d written about our 47 for Slate, the online magazine and wanted to give us (“no conditions attached”) a new house 48 the lake from New Orleans．

It sounded too good to be 49 , but I replied, thanking him for his exceptional 50 , that we had no plans to go back． Then a poet at the University of Florida 51 to let his house to me, while he went to England on his one-year paid leave． The rent was rather 52 ． I mentioned the poet’s offer to James Kemdedy, and the next day he sent a check 53 our entire rent for eight months．

第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

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。

A

On July 2, 1961, the day when Ernest Hemingway took his own life at the age of 61, a great light went out in the world of literature． News of Hemingway’s death darkened the front pages of the most major newspapers including The New York Times．
Hemingway was a man who truly enjoyed life． He made those around him enjoy life． When he could no longer enjoy his life, when his body failed him, when his gift for writing deserted him, he ended his life． This final act would add to the Hemingway mystery．
Hemingway’s literature had always been influenced by tragedy． When reading his work, one notices an element almost always lacking: the happy ending． Not only could Hemingway describe life “as it is”, he was also good at describing life “as it is not”． Life is not a clichéd bed of roses, a care-free world in which lovers walk hand in hand into a setting sunset． No, the sun also rises, and if its rays are too hot or too bright, or if it stays visible for too long, the roses will wilt and die． Hemingway never avoided exploring the tragedies of life, of death, of love．
There is little doubt that the events in Hemingway’s fiction mirror the events in his life． Hemingway’s true talent, however, lies in his ability to construct fiction which is more realistic and truer than any life event could ever be． Every writer of fiction wishes to produce a similar construction． Many try． Many fail． Some succeed． Hemingway succeeded and he is still succeeding．
56． Which was NOT one of the reasons why Hemingway killed himself?
A． His health broke down．
B． He found he no longer had the gift for writing．
C． He was too old．
D． He could not get pleasure from his life．
57． In Hemingway’s eyes, life ____．
A． is full of pains
B． is made up of roses
C． contains a lot of tragedies
D． should be ended by its owner
58． According to the passage, Hemingway ____．
A． hasn’t been a source of interest except for his fiction
B． hadn’t been famous before his death
C． experienced many tragedies in his life
D． failed to have his own way of constructing fiction
59． We can infer from the article that the author’s attitude towards Hemingway is being ____．

A． admiring B． jealous C． afraid D． critical

B

Unless humans act now, seafood may disappear by 2048, concludes the lead author of a new study that paints a grim picture for ocean and human health． According to the study, the loss of ocean biodiversity(生物多样性) is speeding up, and 29 percent of the seafood species that humans consume have already died out． If the long-term trend continues, in 30 years there will be little or no seafood available for human beings．

The increasing pace of diversity loss thus endangers the “ecosystems services” that many human populations depend on for survival, the study says． The research also found that biodiversity loss is tightly linked to declining water quality, harmful algal blooms, ocean dead zones, fish kills, and coastal flooding．

“Biodiversity is a limited resource, and we are going to end up with nothing left if nothing changes,” said Boris Worm, an assistant professor of marine conservation biology at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada． Worm led the international team of scientists and economists that examined the role of marine biodiversity in maintaining ecosystem services．

“They examined the impact of species loss at local, regional, and global scales and in a variety of ecosystems． Everywhere they looked, they got the same result: The greater the loss of diversity, the greater the impact on ecosystem services．

“The good news is that areas managed for improved diversity can and do recover, raising the possibility that the problem can be reversed (彻底改变) if humans take action．” Worm says, “Where we protect marine areas around the world we see an increase in species diversity． We also see more productivity as well as more money being earned from those ecosystems,” he said．

60. What would be the best title for the text?

A． Seafood promotes human health

B． Biodiversity is important for human survival

C． Ocean biodiversity is improving

D． The future of ecosystem services

61. The word “grim” underlined in paragraph 1 most probably means ____．

A． horrible B． clear C． simple D． colorful

62． Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?

A． The loss of biodiversity threatens our food supplies．

B． It’s urgent to save biodiversity in the coming 30 years．

C． Biodiversity loss is closely related to flooding．

D． Biodiversity loss has a great effect on ecosystem services．

63． What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A． Biodiversity has been improved in a vast area of ocean．

B． It’s not so difficult to improve biodiversity．

C． There’s no need to worry about the decline in biodiversity

D． It’s hopeful to improve biodiversity if action is taken．

C

Honesty is the best policy, as the English saying goes． Unfortunately, honesty often leaves us when no one is watching, British psychologists reported last week．

Researchers at UK’s Newcastle University set up an experiment in their psychology department’s coffee room．

They set a kettle, with tea, coffee and milk on the counter and hung up a sign listing the price for drinks． People helping themselves to a cup of tea were supposed to put a few cents in the box nearby．

The scientists hung a poster above the money box, and changed each week between pictures of gazing (注视的) eyes and pictures of flowers． The researchers found that staff paid 2．76 times more for their drinks when the image of the eyes was hung．

“We were shocked by the size of the effect,” said Gilbert Roberts, one of the researchers．

Eyes are known to be a powerful perceptual (知觉的) signal for humans, scientists say．

“Even though the eyes were not real, they still seemed to make people behave more honestly,” said Melissa Bateson, a behavioral biologist and leader of the study．

Researchers believe the effect throws light on our evolutionary past． It may arise from behavioral characteristics that developed when early humans formed social groups to strengthen their chances of survival． For social groups to work, individuals had to co-operate, rather than act selfishly． “There’s an argument that if nobody is watching us, it is in our interests to behave selfishly． But when we’re being watched we should behave better． So people see us as co-operative and behave the same way towards us,” Bateson said．

The new finding indicates that people have a striking response to eyes． That might be because eyes and faces send a strong biological signal we have evolved to respond to, Bateson said．

The finding could be put to practical use． For example, images of eyes could ensure ticket sales on public transport and improve surveillance(监视) systems to deter antisocial (反社会) behavior．

64． The story is written mainly to __________．

A． warn you to behave honestly whether you are alone or not

B． explain the root of cheating in exams with no teachers present

C． describe how the experiment in Newcastle University worked

D． inform us of a strong reaction that people have to eyes

65． The experiment carried out in Newcastle University made researchers think that _______．

A． honesty is not the best policy

B． evolution has a big influence on our behavior

C． humans have to form social groups to survive

D． people are more relaxed when not being watched

66． From the text, we know that ________．

A． no one acts selfishly when being watched

B． the function of eyes is not only biological but social

C． the image of eyes worked as well as the picture of flowers

D． a waiter was there serving people drinks in the experiment

67． The word “deter” in the last paragraph could be replaced by _____ ．

A． prevent B． discover C． watch D． research

D

68． Which film has the highest box office result in the USA?

A． Bee Movie B． National Treasure: Book of Secrets

C． P．S． I Love You D． One Missed Call

A． December 21st, 2007 B． December 22nd, 2007

C． November 2nd, 2007 D． January 4th, 2008

70． In the film One Missed call, Beth Raymond is greatly disturbed because _____．

A． she received chilling cell phone messages

B． she witnessed the deaths of two friends in the hospital

C． she foretold the horrifying last moments of her friends

D． two of her friends died in the way foretold by the cell phone messages that had been received days before．

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。

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before．

But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line． 71 Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes．

For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” if the answer is no, rewrite and reread． 72

If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner． But try not to do so． 73 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it． Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room．

74 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate． When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it． If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything． Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything． Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else． 75 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended．

It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status． Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions．

A． It’s natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online．

B． Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face．

C． Everyone was new to the network once．

D． The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated．

E． When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear．

F． You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages．

G． If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely．
