    The journey two divers made some time ago to the deepest point on the earth makes us realize how much of the world still remains to be studied. The two men went down seven miles to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean inside a small steel ball to find out if there are any ocean currents(水流) or signs of life.
    It was necessary to set out early, so that the ball would come to the surface in daylight, and be easily found by the mother ship which would be waiting for it. The divers began preparations early in the morning and soon afterwards, when all was ready, the steel ball disappeared under the surface of the water.
    The divers felt as if they were going down steps as they passed through warm and cold layers (层) of water. In time the temperature dropped to the freezing point. They kept in touch with the mother ship by telephone telling how they felt. Then, at a depth of 3,000 feet, the telephone stopped working and they were quite cut off from the outside world. All went well until some four hours later at 30,000 feet, the men were frightened by a loud, cracking noise. Even the smallest hole in the ball would have meant instant death. Luckily, though, it was only one of the outer windows that had broken. Soon afterwards, the ball touched the soft ocean floor raising a big cloud of "dust" made up of small dead sea creatures. Here, powerful lights lit up the dark water and the men were surprised to see fish swimming just above them quite untroubled by the great water pressure. But they did not dare to leave the lights on for long, as the heat from them made the water boil. Quite unexpectedly, the telephone began working again and the faint but clear voices of the divers were heard on the mother ship seven miles away. After a stay of thirty minutes the men began their journey up, arriving three hours later, cold and wet through, but none was worse for their experience.
    65. The purpose of the divers' journey to the deepest point on the earth was to find
    A. if there are water currents, and life in the great depths
    B. if people can stand the severe cold in the great depths
    C. if there are steps in the great depths
    D. if the telephone works well in the great depths
    66. The divers set out early in the morning so that                .
    A. they could return to the surface during the day
    B. they could see at the bottom of the ocean
    C. they could avoid the cold at night
    D. they could stay long at the bottom
    67. As the divers went down to the ocean floor, the telephone              .
    A. kept working all the time
    B. stopped working at a depth of 3,000 feet and began working again after they reached the bottom
    C. stopped working at a depth of 3,000 feet and began working again at 30,000 feet
    D. stopped working at a depth of 3,000 feet and began working again when they returned to the same depth
    68. On the ocean floor, the divers found that               .
    A. there was no life but some small dead sea creatures
    B. fish were swimming as freely as they do near the surface
    C. fish were not swimming freely in the dark water
    D. fish were not swimming freely under the high water pressure

    The coyote(丛林狼)that clever animal of wide-open spaces,has come to the nation’s captial.In fact ,coyotes have spread to every corner of the United States,changing their behaviors to fit new environments and causing researchers to deal with a troublesome new kind of creature:the city coyote.
    The coyote originally lived in the middle of the continent.One of its most obvious characters is its smartness, which has made the animal a notorious（臭名昭著的）pest.Hunters trapped,shot and poisoned more than a million coyotes in the 1900s.It’s still one of America’s most hunted animals. Yet the coyote has survived.How has the coyote shown this extraordinary ability? “I guess if you wanted to use one word,it’d be ‘plasticity’. ”says Erie Gese,an expert at Utah State University. Coyotes can live alone, in pairs, or in large packs like wolves,hunt at night or during the day , occupy a small region or an area up to 40 square miles;and live on all sorts of food,from lizards（蜥蜴）and shoes, to ants and melons.
    Unbelievably  people  helped coyotes  increase  when  they killed most of the wolves in the United States. The spreading of coyotes into city areas,though.is recent.They travel at night,crossing sidewalks and bridges.running along roads and ducking into culverts （钻入涵洞）and underpassces .No one knows why coyotes are moving into cities, but experts explain that cleverer, more human-tolerant（不怕人的）coyotes are teaching urban survival skills to new generations.
    Occasionally. coyotes might attack human beings. There have been about 160 attacks on people in recent years Therefore, people have been consistently told not to feed coyotes or leave pet food unsecured. That ,plus a large trapping program in the neighborhood, has cut down on the coyote population.
    63.The underlined word “plasticity”in Paragraph 2 refers to____________.
    A.the ability to fit the environment            B.notorious smartness
    C.hunting ability                                     D.being human-tolerant                   
    64.The aim of the passage is to_____________.
    A.tell people how to fight against coyotes
    B.tell us why the coyote is the most hunted animal
    C.supply the reason why the coyote is a kind of motorious pest
    D.explain how the coyote has spread to and survived in cities                         
    65.According to the passage, coyotes__________.
    A.originally lived in the west of the continent
    B.sleep during the day but look for food at night
    C.are teaching survival skills to their younger generations
    D.suffered a population decrease because people killed wolves                       
    66.According to the passage,to cut down on the coyote population, people are advised to_______.
    A.leave pet food secured                          B.keep coyotes in small regions

    An important scientific report announced “irrefutable（不能反驳的） proof” that climate change is happening and it’s all our fault. How long has it been before people are against the global warming idea? But here’s a funny thing. Last year there was a very bad hurricane season in the Caribbean when, among other disasters, New Orleans was all but wiped off the map. We were wisely informed by the experts at the time that this was owing to global warming.
    I remember watching a BBC science programme and hearing a learned professor with a beard tell us, “The increased frequency and strength of hurricanes is what we shall have to learn to expect given global warming.”
    This year there have been far fewer hurricanes and those there have been were relatively mild. Why？Global warming again of course. Professor Bjorn Lomborg, author of The Skeptical Environmentalist, writes, “In the constant media reports of possible greenhouse related disasters, almost any event is now linked to climate change.” He adds, “We should not spend vast amounts of money to cut a tiny slice of the global temperature increase when this leads to a poor use of resources and when we could probably use these funds far more effectively in the developing world.” For saying this, Lomborg has had death threats.
    Other scientists who do not toe the global warming-is-happening-and-it’s-all-our-fault line have received the same. There are plenty of people who count against global warming. A world of senior climatologists and meteorologists wrote to the Times last year to complain that they couldn’t get their research findings published — because they disagreed to it. We have had a warm autumn. The experts,  fanatics（狂热者） all of them, put it down to global warming. If we have an extra cold winter, they will tell us it’s a result of global warming. If my big toe feels cold or hurts badly, it will be owing to global warming.
    52. The purpose of this passage may be to ____.
    A. support the idea of global warming  
    B. organize a debate about global warming
    C. speak out against the global warming idea
    D. encourage people to use money effectively
    53. What happened to New Orleans last year?
    A. It was badly destroyed.                          B. It disappeared in the world.
    C. It witnessed global warming.               D. It experienced several disasters.
    54. From the passage, we can infer that ____.
    A. people are taking too many efforts to stop global warming
    B. people have realized the side effect of development
    C. a different idea sometimes may cost one his life
    D. the majority usually stand for the correct opinion
    55. The main idea of the last paragraph may be ____.
    A. global warming may lead to toe’s catching cold in a sense
    B. the Times refuses to publish articles on global warming
    C. a warming autumn is not related to global warming at all
    D. it is certainly incorrect to owe everything to global warming

    (D)
    Malaria, the world's most widespread parasitic（寄生虫引起的）disease, kills as many as three million people every year—almost all of whom are under five, very poor, and African. In most years, more than five hundred million cases of illness result from the disease, although exact numbers are difficult to assess because many people don't （or can't） seek care. It is not unusual for a family earning less than two hundred dollars a year to spend a quarter of its income on malaria treatment, and what they often get no longer works. In countries like Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Gambia, no family, village, hospital, or workplace can remain unaffected for long.
    Malaria starts suddenly, with violent chills, which are soon followed by an intense fever and, often, headaches. As the parasites multiply, they take over the entire body. Malaria parasites live by eating the red blood cells they infect （感染）. They can also attach themselves to blood vessels in the brain. If it doesn't kill you, malaria can happen again and again for years. The disease passed on to humans by female mosquitoes infected with one of four species of parasite. Together, the mosquito and the parasite are the most deadly couple in the history of the earth—and one of the most successful. Malaria has five thousand genes, and its ability to change rapidly to defend itself and resist new drugs has made it nearly impossible to control. Studies show that mosquitoes are passing on the virus more frequently, and there are more outbreaks in cities with large populations. Some of the disease's spread is due to global warming.
    For decades, the first-choice treatment for malaria parasites in Africa has been chloroquine, a chemical which is very cheap and easy to make. Unfortunately, in most parts of the world, malaria parasites have become resistant to it. Successful alternatives that help prevent resistance are already available, but they have been in short supply and are very expensive. If these drugs should fail, nobody knows what would come next.
    76. According to paragraph 1, many people don't seek care because _______.
    A. they are too poor
    B. it is unusual to seek care
    C. they can remain unaffected for long
    D. there are too many people suffering from the disease
    77. People suffering from malaria _______.
    A. have to kill female mosquitoes      B. have ability to defend parasites
    C. have their red blood cells infected    D. have sudden fever, followed by chills
    78. Which of the following may be the reason for the wide spread of the disease?
    A. Its resistance to global warming.
    B. Its ability to pass on the virus frequently.
    C. Its outbreaks in cities with large populations.
    D. Its ability to defend itself and resist new drugs.
    79. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.            .
    A. no drugs have been found to treat the disease
    B. the alternative treatment is not easily available to most people
    C. malaria has developed its ability to resist parasites
    D. nobody knows what will be the drug to treat the disease
    80. Which of the following questions has NOT been discussed in the passage?
    A. How can we know one is suffering from malaria?
    B. How many people are killed by malaria each year?
    C. Why are there so many people suffering from malaria?
    D. What has been done to keep people unaffected for long?

    As a teenager of the digital era, it is really hard to say no to fantastic electronic gadgets(电子产品). Many of us can’t get through a day without using our mobile phones or checking our e-mails. No matter if we’re “@home”, “@school” or“@play”, living without technological toys seems more and more unthinkable.
    However, although gadgets bring convenience, many of us can start to feel stressed out by them. And, a lot of electronics are fairly expensive. Fashionable gadgets come and go in the digital age in the blink of any eye. So, think twice before you pulling out your wallet.
    Here are some of the most popular gadgets and their pros and cons:
    Pros: Laptops have made our lives much easier. You can take your books, movies, music and homework everywhere.
    Cons: They cost at least 4,000 yuan! If you only want to share photos or games with your friend, then a flash memory stick is a great cheap alternative.
    Pros: As well as carrying your favourite music, a video MP3 player can play up to 150 hours of movies and TV programmes.
    Cons: The price—sometimes more than 2,000 yuan—is the first concern. Secondly, though music is really important to young people, ask yourself if video is really necessary. A regular MP3 player is a lot cheaper. And remember, don’t let the loud volume damage your hearing.
    Pros: New mobile phones combine traditional functions with a digital camera, MP3 player and even a radio. Some can also send and receive e-mails.
    Cons: Always trying to keep up with the latest model can be a waste of money. There are always new, improved phones coming out. Don’t be a fool. Do you really need all these functions? Think twice before you buy.  
    60. According to the writer, which of the following statements is true?
    A. Teenagers can’t live through a day without fantastic electronic gadgets.
    B. Teenagers can hardly live happily without electronic gadgets.
    C. Teenagers’ life is full of expensive electronic gadgets.
    D. It’s all but impossible for many teenagers to live without fantastic electronic gadgets.  
    61. What conclusion can we draw from the passage?
    A. Never buy the most updated gadgets.  
    B. You should buy the gadgets with as many functions as possible.
    C. We needn’t always pay the most part to buy the most up-to-date gadgets with many functions.
    D. Never buy the latest model, it’s much too expensive.
    62. Choose the statement most similar in meaning to the underlined sentence in Paragraph2.
    A. Fashionable gadgets are updated in the digital times in a flash.
    B. Fashionable gadgets are transported everywhere in the digital age in the blink of any eye.  
    C. People keep buying and throwing away expensive fashionable gadgets in the digital age in the blink of any eye.  
    D. People use all kinds of fashionable gadgets all the time in the digital age.
    63. What do the words “pros and cons” mean in the selection?
    A. Agreements and disagreements.
    B. The views that are favoured and not favoured by people.
    C. Benefits and bads.

    B
    Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook by yourself? Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What can't you be bothered to do?
    A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of the adults are so idle (懒散的) that they'd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.
    Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain's largest health center. The results were extremely surprising.
    About one in six people questioned said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.
    More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of the 654 respondents with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.
    This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (very fat) before they start school.
    Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said, “People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and evidently their pets too.”
    “If we don't start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most fundamental tasks.”
    And Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most idle city in the UK, with 75% questioned admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.
    The results bring serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.
    60．How many people questioned don't play with their children?
    A．1280.   B．More than 333.     C．654.    D．About 420.
    61．The study leads us to believe that      .
    A．the pets in the UK will be in trouble if their owners keep their way of life
    B．Glasgow people feel ashamed because they don't get enough exercise
    C．British people are the laziest around the world
    D．five sixths of the British children are healthy
    62．How does the author convince the readers?
    A．By presenting the results of a study.                 B．By providing answers to questions.
    C．By interviewing some experts.                            D．By telling a story.
    63．What is the passage mainly about?
    A．A study of British people's laziness.                 B．A study of British people's lifestyles.
    C．The health service in the UK.                       D．The obesity problem in the UK.

    第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分,满分40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
    A lot of management training each year for Circle K Corporation, a national chain of convenience stores. Among the topics we address in our course is the retention（保护力） of quality employees-a real challenge to managers when you consider the pay scale（标准）in the service industry. During these discussions, I ask the participants（参加者）, “What has caused you to stay long enough to become a manager?” Some time back a new manager took the question and slowly, with her voice almost breaking, said, “It was a ＄19 baseball glove.”
    Cynthia told the group that she originally took a Circle K clerk job as an interim（临时的） position while she looked for something better. On her second or third day behind the counter, she received a phone call from her nine-year-old son, Jessie. He needed a baseball glove for Little League. She explained that as a single mother, money was very tight, and her first check would have to go for paying bills. Perhaps she could buy his baseball glove with her second or third check. When Cynthia arrived for work the next morning, Patricia, the store manager, asked her to come to the small room in the back of the store that served as an office. Cynthia wondered if she had done something wrong or left some part of her job incomplete from the day before. She was concerned and confused.
    Patricia handed her a box. “I overheard you talking to your son yesterday,” she said, “and I know that it is hard to explain things to kids. This is a baseball glove for Jessie because he may not understand how important he is, even though you have to pay bills before you can buy gloves. You know we can’t pay good people like you as much as we would like to; but we do care, and I want you to know you are important to us.”
    The thoughtfulness, empathy and love of this convenience store manager demonstrates vividly that people remember more how much an employer cares than how much the employer pays. An important lesson for the price of a Little League baseball glove.
    56．Among many of the problems in the service industry, what is talked about in this passage, is___
    A．how to ensure his employees’ high pay
    B．how to attract more customers
    C．how to look carefully after the employees
    D．how to keep the good employees from leaving
    57．Although a new manager, Cynthia would do her job well in keeping quality employees because she________.
    A．had mastered all the courses for the manager
