第1题
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:
W hat is the importance of the Afro American history to all Americans？ How could Afro Americans contribute anything to American history when they were just slaves and servants？ This is the image which many of us are taught when we go to school. This is the image many Afro Americans have of themselves also. The Afro Americans need to remake their real historical image so that it is known and accepted in its truthfulness by themselves and the rest of the world. Men and women of darker color are human beings entitled to respect and acceptance in history. When we think of famous scientists and inventors we immediately think of men such as Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison and Jonas E.Salk. This is because we associate famous people with the Anglo Saxon race. But what about the Afro American inventors and scientists？ How many men during World War Ⅰ owe their lives to Garrett Morgan who invented the gas mask？ Garrett Morgan also invented the traffic light which saves numerous lives on our streets. Daniel Hale Williams was the first successful heart surgeon. Charles Drew saved hundreds of thousands of lives during World War II by his discovery of the ways and means of preserving blood plasma. Percy Julian has helped millions suffering from the excruciating pain of arthritis. These men and others should be as easily recognized as Bell, Edison and Salk.
America is made up of many different blends of cultures. These many cultures have come to enrich and diversify the American way of life. We should not think, because history has neglected to include the background of a particular culture, that these people have an inferior history. We should search for the truth and set the record straight against the slanders, the stereotyping and false images which have identified these people. We should understand each of the cultures and learn of their specific contribution to America's life story.
Only after we are taught the complete and accurate history of our great country and learn that the blending of cultures and backgrounds gives us ourstrength, can we go forward on the path to peace.
36. The function of the first paragraph is to ____.
A) present the main idea or the summary of the essay
B) present an introduction to the topic
C) provide background to the main theme
D) present many cultures have contributed to American history
37. Which of the following statements is true？
A) Graham Bell, T.Edison and J.E.Salk are not very important people.
B) Black people who contribute to society should have equal recognition with their white colleagues.
C) We should not associate famous people with the Anglo Saxon race only.
D) G.Morgan, D.H.Williams and Charles Drew were not Afro Americans.
38. Paragraph three tells us that ____.
A) we should oppose slander and stereotyping
B) the American way of life is richer because it is made up of many cultures
C) some cultures have been completely neglected
D) Afro Americans have an inferior history
39. The word “image” refers to ____.
A) picture B) portray C) impression D) similar
40. The main idea of the passage is ____.
A) There are many Afro Americans who are famous as scientists and inventors
B) Many Afro Americans have devoted to American history
C) Afro American experience to American history
D) Afro American history must be recognized as an important part of American history

Usually, ________ care for children’s ________.
[A] woman writers... lives
[B] women writer... life
[C] women writers... life
[D] women writer... lives
第3题
History denies this, of course. Among prominent summer deaths, one recalls those of Marilyn Monroe and James Deans, whose lives seemed equally brief and complete. Writers cannot bear the fact that poet John Keats died at 26, and only half playfully judge their own lives as failures when they pass that year. The idea that the life cut short is unfulfilled is illogical because lives are measured by the impressions they leave on the world and by their intensity and virtue.
第4题
听力原文： In Hollywood, everybody wants to be rich, famous and beautiful. Nobody wants to be old, unknown and poor. For Hollywood kids, life can be difficult, because they grow up in such an unreal atmosphere. Their parents are ambitious and the children are part of the parents' ambitions. Parents pay for wasteful grand parties, expensive cars and designer clothes.
When every dream can come true, kids don't learn the value of anything because they have everything. A thirteen-year-old boy, Trent Maguire, has a driver, credit cards and unlimited cash to do what he wants when he wants to. "One day, I'll earn more than my dad!" he boasts. Parents buy care and attention for the children because they have no time to give it themselves. Amanda's mother employs a personal trainer, a bodyguard, a singing coach and a counselor to look after all her fifteen-year-old daughter's needs.
Often there is no parent at home most days, so children decide whether to make their own meals or go out to restaurants, when to watch television or do homework. They organize their own social lives. They play no childhood games. They become adults before they're ready. Hollywood has always been the city of dreams. The kids there live unreal lives where money, beauty and pleasure are the only gods. Will children around the world soon start to think the same？ Or do they already？
Questions:
Why is life said to be difficult for Hollywood kids？
What does the speaker say about Trent Maguire, a thirteen-year-old boy？
Why does Amanda's mother employ other people to look after her needs？
What will probably have negative effects on the lives of Hollywood kids？
(33)
A．The atmosphere they live in is rather unreal.
B．Their parents put too much pressure on them.
C．It's hard for them to get along with other kids.
D．They have to live in the shadow of their parents.
第5题
Abandoned ships damage the ecosystem(生态系统）long after they‘ve sunk. They produce toxic chemicals harming or destroying sea life and, by entering the food chain, the chemicals are finally digested by humans. Sometimes they help the growth of new sea life that threatens the present local ecosystem. On Palmyra Atoll, for example, a ‘population explosion’ of corallimorph, an aggressive creature similar to coral, killed almost all the coral growing around a fishing boat that sank in 1991. The corallimorph were probably attracted to the leaching iron produced by the abandoned boat, growing fast and threatening other sea life on the reef.
Of course, there are governmental policies to prevent people from abandoning boats and ships. State laws fine (罚款) and sometimes jail those irresponsible ship owners. However, there’s a big financial problem regarding retrieving(回收）and recycling sunken ship: it takes owners on average $5,000 to $10,000 to retrieve a 40-foot yacht, while the fines for abandonment are much lower - only $100. Besides, definitions of ‘abandonment’ are quite different among states, which means that ship owners can sometimes sink boats and get off the responsibility. Meanwhile, federal law deals with only pollution caused by ships, not with ship abandonment itself.
The environmental impact of undersea boats and ships can’t always be seen easily from the shore, says Helton. It would help if owners of small fishing boats as well as big ships could keep in mind that ‘ when a boat or ship is lost, it’s not gone.
1.The main idea of the passage is（）.
A、poisonous chemicals‘ influences on sea life
B、policies of retrieving abandoned ships
C、how corallimorph threatens coral
D、the sunken ships and its trouble
2. According to the passage, abandoned ships damage the ecosystem in these ways EXCEPT（）.
A、producing toxic chemicals
B、entering the food chain
C、helping corallimorph grow
D、poisoning the fishing boat
3.The example of corallimorph is to show how abandoned ships（）.
A、produce toxic chemicals which harm sea life
B、foster new sea life threatening the ecosystem
C、are protected under governmental policies
D、are retrieved and recycled in cheaper ways
4.The third paragraph implies that（）.
A、The fact that sunk ships can never be repaired.
B、There are no financial problems of retrieving sunken ships.
C、It doesn’t matter if we don’ t have a common definition of ‘abandonment’.
D、Federal laws concerned only with pollution.
5.The Helton‘ s attitude to lost ships is（）.
A、indifferent
B、disapproving
C、supportive
D、worried
第6题
At the end of the nineteenth century, a rising interest
in Native American customs and an increasing desire to
understand Native American culture prompted ethnolo-
gists to begin recording the life stories of Native Amer-
(5) ican. Ethnologists had a distinct reason for wanting to
hear the stories: they were after linguistic or anthropo-
logical data that would supplement their own field
observations, and they believed that the personal
stories, even of a single individual, could increase their
(10) understanding of the cultures that they had been
observing from without. In addition many ethnologists
at the turn of the century believed that Native Amer-
ican manners and customs were rapidly disappearing,
and that it was important to preserve for posterity as
(15) much information as could be adequately recorded
before the cultures disappeared forever.
There were, however, arguments against this method
as a way of acquiring accurate and complete informa-
tion. Franz Boas, for example, described autobiogra-
(20) phies as being “of limited value, and useful chiefly for
the study of the perversion of truth by memory,” while
Paul Radin contended that investigators rarely spent
enough time with the tribes they were observing, and
inevitably derived results too tinged by the investi-
(25) gator’s own emotional tone to be reliable.
Even more importantly, as these life stories moved
from the traditional oral mode to recorded written
form, much was inevitably lost. Editors often decided
what elements were significant to the field research on a
(30) given tribe. Native Americans recognized that the
essence of their lives could not be communicated in
English and that events that they thought significant
were often deemed unimportant by their interviewers.
Indeed, the very act of telling their stories could force
(35) Native American narrators to distort their cultures, as
taboos had to be broken to speak the names of dead
relatives crucial to their family stories.
Despite all of this, autobiography remains a useful
tool for ethnological research: such personal reminis-
(40) cences and impressions, incomplete as they may be, are
likely to throw more light on the working of the mind
and emotions than any amount of speculation from an
ethnologist or ethnological theorist from another
culture.
Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage？
A．The historical backgrounds of two currently used research methods are chronicled.
B．The validity of the data collected by using two different research methods is compared.
C．The usefulness of a research method is questioned and then a new method is proposed.
D．The use of a research method is described and the limitations of the results obtained are discussed.
E．A research method is evaluated and the changes necessary for its adaptation to other subject areas are discussed.

From my point of view, the cell phone is necessary for emergency(紧急情况) situations and for business. It's also practical to avoid stress. Unexpected problems are always cropping up(突然出现), and using a cell phone can get rid of the stress they cause. For example, if you are in a traffic jam and know you will arrive late to work, you can call your boss and in form. him of the situation, overcoming this unexpected problem. Or, if you have a small car accident, you can call people to inform. them of your situation.
The widespread use of this device is amazing. It has become an important part of our daily lives. Whenever people forget their phones at home, they feel uncomfortable or unable to function. Another advantage of having a cell phone is that you can connect to the Internet and check your e-mail. In addition, you can access information such as news or movie theater schedules. Life is now fast and busy, and this high tech communication device has become a must. We need cell phones to keep up with the fast pace of life and the new demands of life in our ever changing world.
Cell phones can make our life ______.
A．easier
B．busy
C．fast
D．uncomfortable
