16、er and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet./BBPassage One/BLong time ago, the ancient people could not travel to any far away places for they had no vehicle to carry them across the wide oceans, deep valleys, long rivers or high mountains.Nowadays people take advantage of steamships
17、, trains, airplanes and modern bridges. Airplanes can carry us to the far countries in a short time; steamships can travel across the wide oceans. It is convenient to the modern people.Travelling is a good idea to us because we can get more knowledge, such as the customs, the geography of other coun
18、tries. And people could travel among the different countries in the world. For it is easy to travel from the land by trains, or from the sea by ships.We learnt that the Italian who made the world large was Mr. Columbus. He was a brave man. Up to the middle of the 15th century, the people were afraid
19、 of traveling because they believed it was a dangerous thing.There is a saying in China, which is “Travelling for thousands is better than reading for ten years.“ It is to say that we can learn more in different places than we can learn from books.（分数：17.00）(1).The people in ancient times couldnt tr
20、avel too far away places because_.（分数：4.25）A.they found it no use doing soB.they liked staying at homeC.there was no modern transportationD.they were forbidden to go to other countries(2).The reason why people like to fly today is that_.（分数：4.25）A.it is interestingB.it is cheaper than to go in any o
21、ther wayC.it can cross the wide oceansD.it takes less time(3).The modern people like traveling now because_.（分数：4.25）A.it can bring us more knowledgeB.it can make us richC.they have too much moneyD.it is a good idea(4).The Chinese saying means“_”.（分数：4.25）A.the farther a man goes, the more treasures
22、 he getsB.the more a man sees, the more knowledge he getsC.travelling is more interesting than readingD.the farther a man goes, the more hooks he readsBPassage Two/BThe other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student of English “You speak very good English.“ But the student answered, “No, no.
23、 My English is very poor.“ The foreigner was quite surprised at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself understood or the student had not heard him clearly, he said, “Yes indeed, you speak English very well.“ But the Chinese student still kept saying “No“. In the end the foreigner gave up and w
24、as at a loss what to say. Whats wrong with the students answer? It is because he did not accept a compliment(赞美的话)as the English people do. He should have said “Thank you“ instead of “No“. He actually understood what the American had said. But he thought he should be modest. If he said “Thank you“,
25、that would mean he was too proud. According to the western culture, if someone says the dishes you have cooked are very delicious, you should say “Thank you“. If someone says to a Woman “You look so beautiful with the new clothes on“, she should be very happy and answer “Thank you“. In our country w
26、e think being modest is a virtue and showing off a bad thing. But in the west, if you are modest and say “No, Im afraid I cant do it well“, then the others will take it for granted that you really cannot do it. If you often say “No“, you will certainly be looked down upon by others. When asking for
27、a job, if one says something like “Let me have a try on the job“ instead of “Yes, I can certainly do it,“ he or she will never expect to get it. So in the west one should always be confident. Without self-confidence, he cannot go anywhere. Confidence is of great importance to one in a country where
28、competition is quite keen.（分数：15.00）(1).Why was the American surprised at the Chinese students answer?（分数：3.75）A.Because he wondered whether the student could really speak good English.B.Because he could hardly hear what the student had said.C.Because he wouldnt like others to say “No“.D.Because the
29、 way to accept a compliment in China is not the same as that in the western countries.(2).According to the western culture, if one is given a compliment, he or she should say“_”.（分数：3.75）A.PardonB.Thank youC.Excuse meD.Yes, thanks a lot(3).Why does a man in the west who asks for a job say something
30、like “Yes, I can certainly do it“?（分数：3.75）A.Because to get the job he should give an impression that hes just fit for the job.B.Because he is not modest.C.Because he could do nothing but speak that way.D.Because he was eager to get the job.(4).What does the passage tell us?（分数：3.75）A.Confidence is
31、more important than modesty.B.How to accept compliments given by westerners.C.The Chinese people are modest while westerners are confident.D.The western culture.BPassage Three/BNine-year-old Louis Pasteur rushed into the little house, his face white.“Mother!“ he cried, “A mad dog has bitten my frien
32、d Henry, and now they are burning him with red-hot irons. Its terrible!“Rabies(狂犬病), Louis. Burning the bites is the only hope of stopping Henry from catching the disease.“Henry did get rabies and died, in great pain, some days later. Louis Pasteur never forgot that. “One day,“ he thought, “I must d
33、o something to help people like Henry.“Sixteen years later Pasteur became a Doctor of Science. Arid he began making important discoveries in his special field.Pasteur achieved great success in his life. But during the years of research he lost the use of his left arm and leg. Yet he worked on and on
34、, as hard as ever, as he was eager to find a way for curing rabies. He never forgot his friend Henry.After many dangerous experiments on mad dogs, he finally found the answer. Just then a boy who had been badly bitten by a mad dog arrived at his lab. A few days after Pasteurs treatment the boy got b
35、etter. He did not catch rabies.The discovery gave new hope to people in many countries. People sent money to help build the Pasteur Institute in Paris. Today it is one the worlds most famous centers for research.（分数：15.00）(1).Pasteur became a Doctor of Science. Doctor of science here means_.（分数：3.75
36、）A.a degree which is the highest in scienceB.a person who works in the labC.a post in scienceD.someone whose job is to make sick people well again(2).Though Pasteur was in poor health, he worked hard in order_.（分数：3.75）A.to make a livingB.to prevent the dog from rabiesC.to find a good way to cure ra
37、biesD.to protect children from mad dogs(3).Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?（分数：3.75）A.Louis was famous for his discovery.B.Though his left arm and leg were disabled(残疾的), he worked even harder than before.C.In his childhood he made up his mind to become a doctor.D.His disabled left arm
38、 and leg had nothing to do with the mad dogs.(4).This passage is mainly about_.（分数：3.75）A.how Louis Pasteurs friend diedB.Louis Pasteurs experience and achievement in curing rabiesC.how Louis Pasteurs arm and leg were disabledD.Louis Pasteur cured a boy who had been badly bitten by a mad dogBPassage
39、 Four/BThe atmosphere and oceans are not the only parts of the environment being damaged. Rain forests are being quickly destroyed as well, and their survival is questionable. E. O. Wilson, a biologist at Harvard, calls the depletion(枯竭、耗尽)of rain forest areas “the greatest extinction since the end
40、of the age of dinosaurs(恐龙).“Unlike some environmental issues, rain forests depletion has fortunately received significant public and medias attention. Despite the opposition to the cutting down of rain forests, the problem continues. Every year, Brazil Uchops down/U an area of forests the size of t
41、he state of Nebraska. In addition to the Amazons rain forests, many other forests are being cut down as well.: In Indonesia, Zaire, Papua-new Guinea, Malaysia, Burme, the Philippines, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, and Venezuela, rain forests that were once great have been lost.According to some estimates
42、, 50 million acres of rain forest are cut down every year. The United Nations says the figure is closer to 17 million acres. The World Wildlife Fund says that every minute,25 to 50 acres are cut down or burnt to the ground.The worlds growing population has been a primary reason of rain forests destr
43、uction. More people need land to live on and wood products to consume. Limiting population growth may be the first in a series of steps that would alleviate the destruction of the rain forests.（分数：15.00）(1).In the opinion of the author, _are being destroyed terribly at present.（分数：3.75）A.the oceansB
44、.the atmosphereC.the rain forestsD.all the above(2).The words “chop down“ in the second paragraph means_（分数：3.75）A.clearB.make room forC.destroyD.cut down(3).Why did Wilson regard “the greatest extinction since the end of the age of dinosaurs“ to be the depletion of rain forest areas?（分数：3.75）A.The

47、wn rain forests because of the opposition of most people.BPassage Five/BJim was intelligent, but he hated hard work. He said, “You work hard, and make a lot of money, and then the government takes most of it. I want easy work that gives me lots of money and that the government doesnt know about“.So
48、he became a thief-but he did not do the stealing himself. He got others to do it. They were much less intelligent than he was, so he arranged everything and told them what to do.One day they were looking for rich families to rob, and Jim sent one of them to a large beautiful house just outside the town.It was evening, and when the man looked through one of the windows, he saw a young man and a girl playing on a piano.When he went back to Jim, he said, “That family cant have much money.
