Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements

7、. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.(分数:10.00)_One cowardly person came to a master of martial arts(武术)to learn bravery. The master looked at h

8、im and said: “ I will teach you only on one condition, if for one month you will live in a big city and to every passing person on the street you will loudly, openly and looking straight into the eyes tell that you re a coward.“ The person got really sad, because this task seemed scary to him. For a

9、 couple of days he was very sad, but to live with his cowardice(胆小)was so unbearable that he travelled to the city to accomplish his mission. At first, when meeting the passers, he lost his speech. But he needed to finish the master s task, so he began to overcome himself. When he came up to his fir

10、st passer to tell about his cowardice, it seemed to him that he would die from fear. But each time, his voice sounded louder and more confident. And then a moment came when the man caught himself thinking that he was not scared anymore, and the further he continued doing the task, the more convinced

11、 he was that the fear was abandoning him. That way a month had passed. The person came back to the master and said: “Thank you, teacher. I finished your task. Now I m not afraid anymore. But how did you know that this strange task will help me?“ “ The thing is,“ the master smiled, “ that cowardice i

12、s only a habit. And by doing the things that scare us, we can destroy the stereotypes. And now you know that bravery is the same habit. To make it a part of yourself, you need to move forward into the fear. And then the fear will retreat, and bravery will take its place.“(分数:10.00)(1).What task did

13、the master ask the person to finish?(分数:2.00)A.To live with strangers for one month.B.To travel to a big city and talk to strangers.C.To tell strangers about his own weakness.D.To ask strangers for help with his problem.(2).What did the person think of the task?(分数:2.00)A.Totally unbearable.B.Rather

16、veryD.what should be done to build up confidenceTextbook prices are traditionally high. “ Combined with the rising cost of tuition, the price of books for our students is just killing these kids,“ said Peter Jason, Ph.D. , a local community college professor. Adding to that problem, many college ins

17、tructors change textbooks year after year: they either upgrade to a new edition or switch to an entirely different textbook. This further hurts students because if an instructor no longer uses a particular textbook, that book has no resale value. Students are one of the poorest groups of people in A

18、merica. Almost half of them have at least one part-time job. In fact, some even have three jobs and still manage to have high grades and go to school full-time. So Dr. Jason decided to make life a little easier and a lot cheaper for his students by writing his own book on public speaking. He thinks

19、that many books have an increased price because of bells and whistles : CD-ROMs, lots of color photographs, and lots of graphics. He talked to his students, and many of them, like him, prefer to keep things simple. They want to have a book which is brief and concise, not long-winded. A few years ago

20、 Dr. Jason finished his own textbook. “ Compared to most other public speaking primers(启蒙书), mine is half the number of pages, and one-third the price. That is, $ 30 instead of $ 90. Plus, it is published in a three-ring binder format. So, when I wrote a second edition last year, students only had t

21、o buy the 35 new pages and delete 35 of the original pages. For only $ 7.00, they had upgraded to the new edition. I ve had great feedback from my students about this loose-leaf concept. Maybe the word will get out, and more writers and publishers will try it,“ said Dr. Jason.(分数:10.00)(1).What can

22、we learn from Paragraph 1?(分数:2.00)A.College textbooks are way too expensive.B.Students dont like to sell their own textbooks.C.Students ask their instructors not to use any textbooks.D.Some students were rejected by their instructors.(2).According to Paragraph 3, the “bells and whistles“ of a book

23、refers to_.(分数:2.00)A.the feedback from readersB.additional featuresC.book typesD.the subject varieties(3).Dr. Jason decided to help his students by_.(分数:2.00)A.collecting used textbooksB.writing a concise textbookC.selling second-hand booksD.making public speeches(4).What did Dr. Jason s students d

24、o when he wrote a second edition?(分数:2.00)A.They kept parts of the old edition.B.They switched entirely to a new book.C.They kept away from any new book.D.They bought the new book at a discount.(5).What does Dr. Jason hope that more writers can try?(分数:2.00)A.A loose-leaf concept.B.A second edition.

25、C.New topics.D.Contact with readers.Some Stanislaus County farmers are having a tough time harvesting their crops because of a shortage of workers. For years Vito Chiesa, who farms near Hughson, has grown peaches, but these days he s replacing them with almonds (杏仁). “ This is where I started losing

26、 peaches,“ he pointed out to NewslO reporter Tim Daly. “Just like that, we got the bulldozers(推土机)and pushed. You re going to see almonds out there next year.“ Farmers can t find enough workers to handle crops like peaches that require careful hand picking because machines would damage the ripe peac

27、hes and then the farmer could not sell them. Some farmers will soon switch to growing almonds. Almonds are harvested differently. They require fewer workers because trees are mechanically shaken. The almonds fall on the ground and then are gathered up. The farmer does not have to hire many workers t

28、o pick the almonds off the trees. Some farmers think there are a couple of reasons for the labor shortage, which is even worse in the southern Central Valley. One is that workers make higher wages doing construction work and there is plenty of that in the Central Valley. Another is that since the Se

29、ptember 11, 2001 attacks, there is more enforcement at the state s border with Mexico, resulting in fewer workers coming into California. One solution might be to allow Mexican workers to work here as guests, so people who want to work and contribute to the economy of the U.S. can have the opportuni

30、ty to provide for themselves and family. That would also help the farm labor situation without making the country less secure. Farmers say that unless things change, more produce will come from South America and China where labor is cheap and there is more competition.(分数:10.00)(1).The farmers are r

31、eported to have difficulty in_.(分数:2.00)A.hiring harvest workersB.selecting the right fruit to growC.selling their farm produceD.changing their way of farming(2).We learn from the passage that Vito Chiesa_.(分数:2.00)A.is very happy to make a changeB.is a driver of the bulldozerC.is to shift to growin

32、g peachesD.is going to grow almonds(3).More manual work is required for_.(分数:2.00)A.picking ripe peachesB.picking ripe almondsC.planting peachesD.planting almonds(4).What is the second reason for the labor shortage?(分数:2.00)A.The fear of more terrorists attacks.B.The reduced number of Mexican worker

33、s.C.The economic depression.D.The border dispute between the U.S. and Mexico.(5).The competition mentioned in the last paragraph is between_.(分数:2.00)A.South America and ChinaB.Stanislaus County farmers and their laborersC.American farmers and farmers overseasD.peach farmers and almond farmersThe ti

34、ming of flu season is a little hard to predict. Part of what makes it unpredictable is that scientists still don t understand exactly why we have one at all. There have been lots of theories: One theory is that people spend more time indoors, with the windows closed, breathing each other s air. Othe

35、r scientists have argued that cold of winter weakens our immune systems. A third theory is that the flu virus lives in the cold, dry air, but suffers in the warm, humid air. For a while, scientists had a hard time testing these theories: they needed to run experiments, but researchers aren t allowed

36、 to infect humans with illnesses, and most lab animals arent affected by the flu the same way people are. In 2007, a medical researcher named Peter Palese found an 80-year-old journal article that reported that guinea pigs (豚鼠)get infected and pass on the flu just like humans. Palese decided to test

37、 Theory 3. The research team led by Palese ran several experiments and in each experiment, they injected half the guinea pigs with influenza A (the common flu), and put them in a box next to a box of uninfected animals. At a temperature of 41 degrees, all four of the exposed guinea pigs caught the f

38、lu, but when Palese repeated the experiment at 68 degrees, only one of the animals was infected. And when he ran the test at 86 degrees, none of the exposed animals got sick. The researchers also ran experiments where they varied the humidity in the room but kept the temperature constant: the drier

39、the air, they found, the more animals got sick. Palese s study showed that the influenza virus does spread more effectively in cold, dry air.(分数:10.00)(1).What does Paragraph 3 mainly discuss?(分数:2.00)A.The direction for future research.B.The necessity of running more tests.C.The difficulty of testi

40、ng the theories.D.The cost of animal experiments.(2).Palese got the idea to experiment with guinea pigs from_.(分数:2.00)A.a past researchB.an 80-year-old scientistC.a fellow researcherD.a journal article long time ago(3).At a temperature of 68 degrees, how many guinea pigs were infected?(分数:2.00)A.No

41、ne.B.Only one.C.Half of them.D.All of them.(4).Palese s experiments with the guinea pigs_.(分数:2.00)A.fully support Theory 3B.partly confirm Theory 2C.raise doubt on Theory 1D.find little evidence for all theories(5).The purpose of the writer is to_.(分数:2.00)A.introduce a new flu theoryB.report a tes

42、t on one flu theoryC.compare the various flu theoriesD.point out a new approach to flu study三、Vocabulary and Struc(总题数:21,分数:42.00)2.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences.
