    Part B: Reading Comprehension 20%
    A
    Backpacks are convenient. They can hold your books, your lunch, and a change of clothes, leaving your hands free to do other things. Someday, if you don’t mind carrying a heavy load, your backpack might also power your MP3 player, keep your cell phone running, and maybe even light your way home.
    Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass., have invented a backpack that makes electricity from energy produced while its wearer walks.
    The backpack’s electricity-creating powers depend on springs used to hang a cloth pack from its metal frame. The frame sits against the wearer’s back, and the whole pack moves up and down as the person walks. A mechanism with gears(传动装置) collects energy from this motion and transfers it to an electrical generator.
    Surprisingly, the researchers found, people walk differently when they wear the springy packs. As a result, wearers use less energy than when carrying regular backpacks. Also, the way the new packs ride on wearers’ backs makes them more comfortable than standard packs.
    The backpack could be especially useful for soldiers, scientists, mountaineers, and emergency workers who typically carry heavy backpacks. These people often rely on global positioning system(GPS) receivers, night-vision goggles(夜视镜), and other battery-powered devices to get around and do their work. Because the pack can make its own electricity, users don’t need to give up space in their packs to lots of extra batteries.
    For the rest of us, power-generating backpacks could make it possible to walk, play video games, watch TV, and listen to music, all at the same time. Electricity-generating packs aren’t on the market yet, but if you do get one eventually, just make sure to look both ways before crossing the street!
    65. The passage introduces a new kind of ______ backpack.
    A．electronicB．electricity-producing
    C．electron-generatingD．electricity-controlling
    66. The new backpack makes use of ______ to produce power.
    batteries placed at the bottom of the frame
    the motion of the pack while the wearer walks
    energy the wearer consumes for carrying the pack
    the collective motion of a mechanism and some gears
    67. From the passage, we can infer that ______.
    the backpacks of mountaineers may become smaller in the future
    the new backpack can hardly be produced due to its potential danger
    the new backpack will someday replace MP3 players and cell phones
    the backpack will also provide electricity for lighting our houses
    68. An enormous disadvantage of power-generating backpacks might be that ______.
    they may stop working at any time
    it takes quite a while to have the energy transferred
    they may distract the wearer’s attention from road safety
    they will be extremely heavy with the mechanism

    Compared with   38   forms of writing, it is shorter and   39   less time. It can help us to   40   the habit of thinking in English.  41   we persist in(坚持) this practice, gradually we’ll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English,   42   can use the important phrases and sentences we’ve   43   in or out of English classes to describe our   44  , and this way we can master and use freely   45   we’ve learned, which will do good  46  us in English learning. But   47   we certainly run up against many difficulties. In the first place, it often happens that we have   48   finding proper words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there   49   many idiomatic (惯用的) ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard   50   us to put them into English properly.
    As far as I am concerned, my suggestion is that we   51   always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever   52   beats(难倒) us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then look it up in our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for   53  , if necessary.
    In short, I believe that it is of   54   use to keep a diary in English for the development of our   55   skills.

    C
    Some experts feel that cars are certain to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all cars will be deserted and made useless. Other experts, however, think the car is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of city travel in the foreseeable future.
    The car will undoubtedly change greatly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more practical, and should not be powered by the gas engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types.
    Unless changes take place in the power system, the car in the future will still be the main problem in city traffic jams. One suggested solution to this essential problem is the automated (自动的) system, which seems to hold water.
    When the car enters the highway system, a small arm will drop from the car and connect with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once joined to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the car will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all the car’s movements. The driver will use the telephone to dial instructions about his position and the place he heads for into the system. The computer will find the best way and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will be free to relax and wait for the call that will warm him of his coming exit. It is believed that an automated highway will be able to deal with 10,000 cars per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 cars that can be carried by a present-day highway.
    48. What is the main concern of the author of the passage?
    A. How to make cars pollution-free.            B. How to make cars smaller and safer.
    C. How to solve the problem of train jam.   D. How to develop an automated subway system.
    49. We can infer from this passage that __________.
    A. the car connected to the rail on the highway will be powered by electricity.
    B. The lack of oil is forcing people to find new means to power automobiles.
    C. The driver under the system will be told where to get out of the highway.
    D. The future car will become larger, faster, prettier and less expensive.
    50. What provides cars with electric power in an automated highway system?
    A. An engine.        B.A rail.   C. A computer controller.            D. A small arm.
    51. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
    A. The driver puts his information in the system by email.
    B. The new system can deal with 10 times as many cars as the present one.
    C. After entering the automated system, the driver needs to do nothing but relax.
    D. Some experts are not confident of the future, while the view of the author is hopeful.

    One reaction to all the concern about tropical deforestation（砍伐森林） is a blank stare that asks the question, "Since I don't live there, what does it have to do with me?"
    The answer is that your way of life, wherever you live in the world, is tied to the tropics in many ways. If you live in a house, wash your hair, eat fruits and vegetables, drink soda, or drive a car, you can be certain that you are affected by the loss of tropical forests.
    Biologically, we are losing the richest regions on earth when, each minute, a piece of tropical forest, the size of ten city blocks ,disappears. As many as five million species of plants, animals, and insects (40 to 50 percent of all living things) live there, and are being lost faster than they can be found and described. Their loss is immeasurable.
    Take rubber for example. For many uses, only natural rubber from trees will do. Synthetics are not good enough. Today over half the world's commercial rubber is produced in Malaysia and Indonesia, while the Amazon's rubber industry produces much of the world's four million tons. And rubber is an important material in making gloves, balloons, footwear and many sporting goods. Thousands of other tropical plants are valuable for their industrial use.
    Many scientists strongly believe that deforestation contributes to the greenhouse effect -- or heating of the earth from increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. As we destroy forests, we lose their ability to change carbon dioxide into oxygen.
    Carbon dioxide levels could double within the next half-century, warming the earth by as much as 4.5 degrees. The result? A partial melt-down of polar ice caps, raising sea levels as much as 24 feet; even 15 feet could threaten anyone living within 35 miles of the coast. Unbelievable? Maybe. But scientists warn that by the time we realize the severe effects of tropical deforestation, it will be 20 years too late.
    Can tropical deforestation affect our everyday lives? Now, you should have got the answer.
    58．The underlined word "synthetics" probably means a kind of _________.
    A．natural rubber   B．tropical material   C．man-made material   D．tropical tree
    59．In the last paragraph the author tries to__________.
    A．tell people how to avoid the tropical deforestation
    B．show us how important it is to protect the tropical forests
    C．persuade people to buy something synthetic
    D．let people realize the effect of tropical deforestation
    60．The author's attitude towards the tropical deforestation is____________.
    A．puzzling        B．cold        C．supporting       D．opposed

    Not even Dan Brown and his Da Vinci code—breakers(密码破译者)dared deal with the mystery of Mona Lisa，s smile．But Nicu Sebe，a computer expert the University of Amsterdam，the Netherlands，did．He used’emotion recognition’software to process the famous painting and found Mona Lisa happy(83 per cent)and slightly disgusted(厌烦的)(9 per cent)．
    Faces show emotions. Psychology，computer science，and engineering researchers are joining forces to teach machines to read expressions．If they succeed，your computer may one day“read”your mood．Machines equipped with emotional skills could also be used in teaching，gaming，mind－reading，etc.
    “Mind Reader”，a system developed by Rosalind Picard at MIT(the Massachusetts Institute of Tech’nology)in the US, uses input from a video camera to do real—time analysis of facial expressions. It reports on whether you seem“interested”or“agreeable”or if you’re“confused”．The system can help people recognize others’emotions．Picard says this means we could teach a machine to be as sensitive as a human．In fact，a machine can be even smarter than people since it can tell if a person is lying or just“performing”by analyzing one’s facial movements．
    Jeffrey Cohn，a psychologist at the University of Pittsburgh，uses the Facial Action Coding System to recognize human emotions．The system sorts more than 40 action units(AUs)of the face to tell people’s real emotions．He studied a videotape of a criminal who said to be sad about the murder of several family members and tried to pin the blame on someone else．But Cohn saw no real sadness in the woman’s face.
    Sadness is a group of AUs that is difficult to do at the same time．You have to pull down the woman’s of your lips while bringing your eyebrows together and raising them．What the woman did was raise her cheeks to make a lip cud(撇嘴)。Her brows stayed smooth．
    64．The best title of this passage is“ ________ ”．
    A．The emotion on your face                    B．Look at your face
    C．Your face tells a story                          D．Telling a lie
    65．The missing sentence“This means，even though your mouth lice，your face doesn’t，and the machine will know it all. ”should be put at the end of ___________．
    A．Paragraph 2   B．Paragraph 3      C．Paragraph 4     D．Paragraph 5
    66．How many facial emotion analyses are mentioned in this passage?
    A．Four．               B．Three．              C．Two．         D．One
    67．The underlined word“it”refers to________．
    A．MIT                                 B．the video camera
    C．one’s face emotion            D．the real—time analysis

    　　When did you last see a polar bear? On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These "Polar Bears" are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3℃, and the water temperature was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group, this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.
    　　Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.
    The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits (or advantages) of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统) because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.
    　　The main benefits(or advantages) of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says. "When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away."
    51. The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except that_____ .
    　A. they should be easy to make friends with
    　B. they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold months
    　C. they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February
    　D. they must reach the age of 60
    52. Doctors _____ .
    　A. encourage people to take part in cold-water swimming actively
    　B. point out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimming
    　C. believe swimming is helpful both in winter and in summer
    　D. have different ideas about the medical effects of cold-water swimming
    53. According to the passage, some doctors believe it is true that _____ .
    　A. you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blue
    　B. cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winter
    　C. cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high
    　D. Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water
    54. The Polar Bears like to swim all the year round, for _____ .
    　A. they can remain young   B. it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winter
    　C. they find it enjoyable and interesting D. they might meet fewer troubles in life
    55. The passage is mainly about _____ .
    a group of cold-water swimming lovers                  B. the polar bears' life  
    　C. doctors' ideas about cold-water swimming            D. the requirements of the Polar Bear Club

    第二部分阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
    A
    Too often we accuse others of not listening, pretending that we ourselves are faultless, yet in our hearts we know that many of the mistakes we make come about because we haven’t listened carefully enough. We get things wrong because we haven’t listened carefully enough. We get things wrong because we haven’t quite understood what someone meant when they were talking to us. Anyone who has ever taken the minutes of a long meeting will know how hard it is to remember-- despite the benefit of notes-- exactly what everyone said. But success depends on getting things right--and that means listening.
    Listening is not the same thing as hearing; it is not an effort actively. It demands attention and concentration. It may mean quizzing the speaker for additional information or for clarification------ it is always better to ask than to continue regardless and get things wrong. However, if you allow your mind to wander onto something else, even for a few minutes, you’ll miss what the speaker is saying------ probably at the very moment when he or she is saying something critical. And not having heard, you won’t know you’ve missed anything until it’s too late.
    The most common bad habit we have is to start thinking of what we are going to say about the subject long before the other speaker has finished. We then stop listening. Even worse, this often adds rudeness to inattentiveness, as once you have decided what to say there is a fair chance you will interrupt to say it. Good listeners don’t interrupt. In fact it is often worth explaining the main idea of what you have just been told before going on to make your own points. Nobody is offended by this and it shows that you have listened well.
    Above all be patient and accept that many people are not very good communicators. It’s helpful to remember that the ways people move and position themselves while they are speaking can reveal a great deal about what they are saying. Equally important you should put yourself in the other person’s place, both intellectually and emotionally; it will help you to understand what they are getting at and form a response. But don’t be too clever. Faced with a know-all, many people keep quiet because they see no point in continuing.
    56. Which is the best title for this passage?
    A. Don’t be too clever                B. Be a good listener.
    C. Don’t miss anything critical            D. Think of the speaker
    57. In the last paragraph, “…… what they are getting at ……” means________ .
    A. what they imply                             B. what they like
    C. what they attack                             D. what they achieve
    58. What is the writer’s opinion?
    A. If you want to be a good listener, you should be very clever and emotional.
    B. Speakers won’t continue talking when their listeners explain what they’ve heard.
    C. If you don’t want to get things wrong, it’s important to be a good listener,
    D. It’s hard to be a good listener because listening tests you on your intelligence.
    59. What is the lesson we can learn from this passage?
    A. Don’t accuse others of not listening while talking with them.
    B. Don’t get anything wrong if you miss what the speaker is saying.
    C. Listening inattentively may cost you the loss of your success.
    D. Think carefully of what you’re going to say before the speaker finishes.
