    In the United States more than 80 colleges now accept just only women. Most of them were founded in the 19th century. They were set up to   21   women the education they could not get anywhere else. At that time   22   of the universities and colleges   23   only men. In the past 20 years many young women have   24   to study at colleges that accept both men and women. As a   25  , some women’s colleges decided to accept men students, too. Others still refused to change. Now the women’s colleges are   26   again.
    The president of Trinity College in Washington D. C said by the end of the 1980s women had come to   27   that studying at the same colleges with men and women did not mean   28   had the same chance to   29  . The president of Smith College in Massachusetts said “A women’s college  30   women to choose classes and activities  31  . For example, if a woman student wants to learn math, she will be given the chance. So the percentage of students who like to study math in a women’s college is   32   than that in a college with men and women.”
    Experts say men students in the United States  33   have enough courage to speak in class.  34  , women students can’t. In a women’s college, women feel free to say   35   they want to. According to a report, women colleges also   36   leadership ability in many fields. At a women’s college, every   37   office is held by women. Recent studies   38   that this leadership continues after   39  . The studies also prove that it is easier for the American women who went to women’s college to   40   successful jobs later in life. Maybe that is why this kind of college is liked by people now.

    Education is endless, 3           (compare) with schooling. It can take place anywhere. It includes both the standard learning that takes place in schools and     4_         whole universe of learning out of class. Though the experience of schooling can be known in  5        (advanced), education quite often produces surprises. A chance talk with a   6          (foreign) may lead a person to discovering how little he knows of another country. People obtain education from babies on. Education, then, is a very broad and   7        (limit) term. It is lifelong experience that starts long before the start of school.
    Schooling,  8      the other hand, is a basic experience,  9         style changes little from one way to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at the same time, take 10        (fix) seats, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams and so on. Schooling has usually been limited by the edges of the subjects being taught.

    The huge explosion at Krakatau was the result of two different factors. One was that the volcano had not broken out for some time and so at the very center of the volcano there was an huge plug of lava, this acted like a cork(塞子) in a bottle, stopping the pressure below from being released(释放). The second factor was that ocean water entered the very centre of the volcano as the explosions became more violent. This caused superheated steam to build up enormous pressure and this was finally released in the largest explosion of all on August 27, 1883. The sudden release of the pressure sent huge amounts of ash, rock and dust into the sky. Some of the ash rose 80km into the air and traveled around the Earth causing brightly coloured sunsets for several years.
    Krakatau almost disappeared; for many years after this explosion, it remained very quiet. However, there was still activity going on under the sea and on 25 January, 1925, a small volcanic cone appeared above the surface of the water. This new volcano was named Anak Kmkatau, or Child of Krakatau. Over the following years, the size of the island grew larger, by 1959, the island was 300 metres above the surface of the sea. The volcanic activity has continued and the latest eruptions were in 1995.
    There is no doubt Krakatar will continue to grow and there is also strong evidence that at some point in the future there will be another violent explosion. Krakatau is in a part of the world where the surface of the Earth is unstable and is always moving and cracking. If, in the future, another “cork” becomes fixed in the centre of the volcano, the pressure will build up. A series of a smaller explosions will allow sea-water into the centre of the volcano and once again the result will a terribly destructive explosion.
    66. The latest eruptions were in_______.
    A.1925           B. 1959           C. 1995          D. 1983
    67. The pressure under the volcano can not be released because _______
    the plug looks like a cork in a bottle
    the volcano hasn’t broken out for some time
    the center of the volcano is blocked(堵塞) by lava
    the temperature of the steam is not high enough.
    68. We can infer from the article that Krakatau volcano________
    A. has broken out three times               B. never dies but continues to be active
    C. will kill many people again in the future    D. is always moving and growing above sea.
    69. All of the following results are caused by the explosion at Krakatau EXCEPT that_____
    A. ash, rock and dust was thrown high into the air
    B. others small volcanoes were soon produced.
    C. The island of Kratau was destroyed
    D. People saw beautiful sunsets for some years
    70. The article is mainly about________
    A. the cause of the Krakatau volcano      B. the danger of the Krakatau volcano
    C. the history of the Krakatau volcano     D. the future of the Krakatau volcano

    The professor stood before his class of 30 senior biology students, about to pass out the final exam. “I have been honored to be your instructor this term, and I know how hard you have all worked to prepare for this test. I also know most of you are off to medical school or graduate school next fall,” he said to them.
    “I can well understand how much pressure you are under to keep your grades up, and because I know you are able to understand this material, I am prepared to offer an automatic(自动的) “B” to anyone who would prefer not to take the final.”
    In relief a number of students jumped up to thank the professor and left the class. The professor looked at the students who remained, and offered again, “Any other takers? This is your last chance.” One more student decided to go.
    There were seven students left. The professor closed the door. Then he handed out the final exam. There were only two sentences typed on the paper: “Congratulations, you have just received an “A” in this class. Keep believing in yourself.”
    I never had a professor who gave a test like that. It may seem like the easy way out of grading (评分) a lot of exams, but it’s a test that any teacher in any subject could and should give. Students who don’t have confidence in what they’ve learned are “B” students at best.
    The same is true for students of real life. The “A” students are those who believe in what they’re doing because they’ve learned from both successes and failures. They have learned life’s lessons, whether from formal education or the school of hard knocks, and become better people.
    Take your cue(榜样) from Sir Edmund Hillary, the first person to reach the top of Mount Qomolangma: “It’s not the mountain we conquer (征服), but ourselves.” Don’t let the biggest limit be yourself.
    53. The professor offered an automatic “B” to those who would prefer not to take the final exam because _________.
    A. he liked the students who wanted to get a “B”
    B. he believed they were able to pass the exam
    C. he thought any teacher should give them a “B”
    D. he thought it was the easy way of grading exams
    54. According to the text, which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A. 22 students got a “B” in the final test without doing the paper.
    B. Most of the students would go to medical school shortly after the exam.
    C. There were actually no problems on the test papers for the students to work out.
    D. The way the professor tested his students would not be suitable for other subjects.
    55. According to the writer, the test given by the professor was ________.
    A. funny        B. meaningful       C. difficult            D. harmful
    56. The point of the story is to advise readers _________.
    A. to pay attention to what they can do
    B. not to miss any final exam at school
    C. not to let themselves limit their growth
    D. to surround themselves with confident people

    第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
    Put yourself in these tourists’ position. You are walking an icy mountain path in the Alps in Europe. Suddenly you spot a body on the ground, face downward and stuck to the ice. You think someone may have been murdered or in a fatal accident. So you rush back and call the police. The police, however, quickly realize that this body is different from others they’ve found on the mountain. For one thing, it is mostly undamaged. For another, its skin is dried out, like a mummy’s（木乃伊）. And there is an old small stone knife beside the body.
    The body turned out be much older than the tourists could have guessed. When specialists（专家）had a chance to examine it, they discovered it had been there for about five thousand years!
    How could a body stay preserved for all this time? Two things probably helped. First, the place where the man died was somewhat sheltered, so animals couldn’t get at it. Then he was quickly covered by falling snow. Wind blowing through the snow probably “freeze-dried” his body, removing all moisture(水分) from it.
    Objects found with the body told something about the Iceman’s life. He wore a well-made fur jacket and trousers. He clearly had been hunting, because he carried arrows, and animal bones were nearby. He also had a grass cushion for sitting or sleeping on. Perhaps he was tired when he lay down for the last time.
    The body was found in 1991, when some of the ice on the mountain melted. Searching for the cause of the Iceman’s death, scientists put the body back into cold conditions---and hoped.
    1. What does the underlined word “spot” in the first paragraph probably mean?
    A. lay       B. dig          C. find         D. carry
    2. Which of the following is NOT the reason that the police realize that the body is different from others?
    A. The body’s skin is like a mummy’s.    B. Beside the body is an old small stone knife.
    C. The body is much older than others.   D. The body is mostly undamaged.
    3. At what time of a year was the Iceman probably died?
    A. Early fall.   B. Late spring.    C. Summer.    D. Winter.
    4. This passage is mainly to _____________
    A. tell us what life was like 5, 000 years ago.
    B. warn us not to go to the Alps.
    C. introduce a mysterious Iceman to us.
    D. explain the mystery of the Alps.

    We’ve used the wind as an energy source for a long time．
    The Babylonians and Chinese were using wind power to
    pump water for irrigating crops 4,000 years ago, and sailing
    boats were around long before that．Wind power was used in the
    Middle Ages, in Europe, to grind（磨碎） corn, which is where
    the term “windmill” comes from．
    We can use the energy in the wind by building a tall tower, with a large propellor（螺旋桨） on the top．The wind blows the propellor round, which turns a generator to produce electricity．We tend to build many of these towers together, to make a “wind farm” and produce more electricity．The more towers, the more wind, and the larger the propellors, the more electricity we can make．It's only worth building wind farms in places that have strong, steady winds, although boats and caravans（大篷车）increasingly have small wind generators to help keep their batteries charged．
    The best places for wind farms are in coastal areas, at the tops of rounded hills, open plains and gaps in mountains — places where the wind is strong and reliable．Some are offshore．To be worthwhile, you need an average wind speed of around 25 km/h．Most wind farms in the UK are in Cornwall or Wales．Isolated places such as farms may have their own wind generators．In California, several “wind farms” supply electricity to homes around Los Angeles．
    The propellors are large, to obtain energy from the largest possible volume of air．The blades can be angled to cope with varying wind speeds．Some designs use vertical turbines （垂直涡轮机）, which don’t need to be turned to face the wind．The towers are tall, to get the propellors as high as possible, up to where the wind is stronger．This means that the land beneath can still be used for farming．
    1．The first paragraph aims to introduce to us _______．
    A．the function of wind power           B．the source of wind power
    C．the nations using wind power        D．the history of using wind power
    2．The best places for building the wind farm are places where _______．
    A．boats and caravans can often be seen     B．isolated farms don’t have enough electricity
    C．there are less human activities         D．the wind is strong and reliable
    3．We can infer from the passage that _______．
    A．wind farms will not take up too much farming land
    B．wind farms need no fuel because wind is free
    C．the blades can be angled to turn to face the wind wherever it comes from
    D．the higher and larger the towers are, the stronger the wind is
    4．What can be a suitable title for the passage?
    A．Where to build a wind farm．     B．ABC of the using of wind energy．
    C．How to make best use of wind．    D．Wind energy is the best energy．

    The Antarctica is actually a desert.
    The Antarctica is all ice all the year. The warmest temperature ever recorded there is zero at the South Pole. Explorers(探险家) used to think that a place so cold would have a heavy snowfall. But less than ten inches of snowfalls each year. That is less than half an inch of water. Ten times that much moisture(水分) falls in parts of the Sahara.
    The little snow that falls in Antarctica never melts(融化). It continues to pile up deeper and deeper year after year and century after century. When the snow gets to be about eighty feet deep, it is turned to ice by the weight of the snow above it.
    1. Antarctica is called a desert because it _____.
    A. is sandy
    B. has the same temperature as a desert
    C. has little moisture

    The easiest way for the English to deal with their social discomfort is to avoid social interaction altogether, by choosing either leisure (闲暇) activities that can be performed in the privacy of one’s own house, or outdoor activities that follow their interest without direct contact with anyone other than one’s own family members, such as going for a walk, or to the cinema, or shopping．
    In recent survey, over half of all the leisure activities were of this private domestic type, and of the top ten pastimes, only two—having friends round for a meal or drink, and going to the pub—could be described as ‘sociable’．The most domestic activities are the most popular: watching TV, listening to the radio, reading, DIY （Do It Yourself） and gardening．Even when the English are being sociable, the survey findings show that most of them would much rather entertain a few close friends or relatives in the safety of their own homes than venture out  among strangers．
    In the latest national census survey （人口普查）, over half of the entire adult male population had been DIYing in the four weeks before the census date．Nearly a third of the female population had also been busily improving their homes, and their work with their gardens was equally obvious: 52 percent of all English males and 45 percent of females had been out there, cutting branches and weeding grass．
    Even among people claiming to belong to a particular religion, only two percent attend services every week．The rest of the population can be found every Sunday at their local garden center or DIY superstore．And when they want a break from caring about their own homes and gardens, they go on trips to visit bigger and better houses and gardens, such as the stately homes and gardens opened to the public by the National Trust and the Royal Horticulture Society．Visiting grand country houses always ranks as one of the most popular national pastimes．
    45．The result of the survey shows that ________.
    A．about half English people enjoy working in their gardens
    B．8 out of 10 pastimes can be described as social activities
    C．2 percent of the religious people enjoy visits to public houses
    D．visiting stately homes is the most popular national pastime
    46．According to the passage, the English enjoy all of the following EXCEPT________.
    A．the social activities, such as gathering with friends
    B．working at home and in their gardens
    C．dining out in a public place among strangers
    D．visits to stately homes and gardens
    47．The underlined word “domestic” probably means________.
    A．public      B．household     C．outdoor           D．collective
    48．The passage mainly tells us about________.
    A．why the English don’t like social activities
    B．how the English spend their leisure time
    C．what the result of a recent census survey is
    D．where the English hold their private activities

    About 97% of the world’s water is salty and is found in our oceans and seas. But, as we can’t drink sea water, how can it be important?
    Every part of our seas and oceans contains an amazing number of animals and fish that live at different ocean depths. Most of the different species of animals and fish depend on simple plants for their food. These simple plants called algae (海藻) drift near the surface of the ocean and use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen. In fact, algae produce over half of the oxygen people breathe. How important sea water is!
    Each plant or animal in our seas and oceans is an important link in a food chain. The algae are eaten in large amounts by microscopic animals, which are in turn consumed by larger animals. These food chains are delicately balanced.
    The bad news about the food chains in the oceans is that they are under threat because of man. People once thought that the oceans were so big that it didn’t matter if we dumped rubbish into them or caught huge quantities of fish and whales for food. But we now know this is not true and fish stocks in the oceans have started to drop.
    Thankfully, the world is taking steps to protect the future of our oceans by introducing international agreements to protect marine habitats. Most countries have introduced fishing restrictions to protect fish stocks in the oceans and new techniques are being pioneered to cope with pollution. Finally, the importance of protecting oceans is being made known to more people. This is just the beginning of a long process to protect the oceans for our future. We depend on the oceans for fish which are an important part of the human diet. How important sea water is! 
    46. Which of the following is the proper order of the food chain?
    A. small animals→algae→microscopic animals→large animals→man
    B. algae→microscopic animals→large animals→larger animals→man
    C. small animals→algae→large animals→microscopic animals→man
    D. microscopic animals→algae→large animals →larger animals→man
    47. People used to think that the rubbish thrown into the sea ________.
    A. wouldn’t harm the fish in the sea   B. would change the balance of the food chain
    C. would be broken down in the sea   D. wouldn’t do much harm to the sea
    48. From the passage, we learn that _________. 
    A. most fish and sea animals live at the surface of the seas
    B. it is very difficult to break the balance of a food chain
    C. excessive fishing has caused the decrease in fish stock
    D. it won’t be long before the problems concerning oceans will be solved
    49. Which of the following is NOT a way being used to protect oceans?
    A. The use of international agreements.   
    B. Forbidding fishing to protect fish stocks.
    C. The use of new techniques.          
    D. Raising people’s awareness of the need to protect oceans.
    50. What would be the best title of the passage?
    A. The importance of seawater.
    B. Life in the oceans.
    C. How to protect food chains.
    D. How to deal with seawater pollution.
