8、D.resistDrawing a picture is the simplest way of putting an idea down on paper. That is 1 men first began to write six thousand years ago or 2 . The alphabet we now use 3 down to us over a long period of time. It was developed from the picture-writing of ancient Egypt. Picture-writing was useful in
9、many 4 . It could be used to express ideas as well as 5 . For example, a drawing of a 6 meant the object “man“. 7 a drawing of a man lying on the ground with a spear in him meant “ 8 “. Besides the Egyptians, the Chinese 9 the American Indians also developed ways 10 writing in pictures. But only 11
10、much could be said this way. Thousands of pictures would have been needed 12 express all the ideas that people might have. It would have taken many thousand more to express all the objects 13 to men. No one could 14 so many pictures in a lifetime. Nor could anyone learn the meaning of all 15 drawing

13、rong.“ says Viola, a nurse. This is a common reaction (反应) to criticism, but not a good one. There are better ways of dealing with criticism. (1)Try to be objective (客观). When Sol was criticized by his new employer for not having made a sale, Sol“s reaction was to feel sorry for himself. “I had put
14、everything I had into making that sale,“ Sol says, “and I felt that I had failed as a person. I had to learn through experience not to react like that to each failure.“ (2) Take time to cool down. Rather than reacting immediately to criticism, take some time to think over what was said. Your first q
15、uestion should be whether the criticism is fair from the other person“s position. The problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or your reasons for doing it. (3)Take positive (积极的) action. After you cool down, consider what you can do about the situation. The best answer may be “nothi
16、ng“. “I finally realized that my boss was having personal problems and taking them out on me because I was there,“ says Sheila. “His criticisms didn“t really have anything to do with my work, so nothing I said or did was going to change them.“ In Sheila“s case, the best way to deal with it was to le
17、ave her job. However, that“s an extreme reaction. You may simply explain your opinion without expecting an in-depth discussion. You may even decide that the battle isn“t worth fighting this time. The key, in any case, is to have a reasonable plan.（分数：12.00）(1).When Sol was criticized by his employer
18、, he _.（分数：3.00）A.argued bitterly with his employerB.was angry and gave up his jobC.was sorry for what he didD.was sad and self-pitying(2).According to the writer, you should take time to think about criticism because _.（分数：3.00）A.people may have a mistaken idea of what you didB.you should welcome o
19、ther people“s opinionsC.people may discuss it with you in depthD.you need time to understand yourself(3).When the writer says that “the best answer may be “nothing“, he means you may decide _.（分数：3.00）A.to take no notice of the criticismB.to argue with your bossC.you need to change your jobD.you“ve
20、done nothing wrong(4).The writer thinks Sheila can decide to leave her job because her boss _.（分数：3.00）A.didn“t like her appearanceB.refused to change his opinionC.made an unreasonable criticismD.refused to talk to her about the criticism六、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Men have traveled ever since they
21、 first appeared on the earth. In primitive times they did not travel for pleasure but to find new places where their herds could feed, or to escape from hostile neighbors, or to find more favorable climates. They traveled on foot. Their journeys were long, tiring, and often dangerous. They protected
22、 themselves with simple weapons, such as wooden sticks or stone clubs, and by lighting fires at night and, above all, by keeping together. Being intelligent and creative, they soon discovered easier ways of traveling. They rode on the backs of their domesticated animals; they hollowed out tree trunk
23、s and, by using bits of wood as paddles, were able to travel across water. Later they traveled, not from necessity, but for the joy and excitement of seeing and experiencing new things. This is still the main reason why we travel today. Traveling, of course, has now become a highly organized busines
24、s. There are cars and splendid roads, express trains, huge ships and jet airliners, all of which provide us with comforts and security. This sounds wonderful. But there are difficulties. If you want to go abroad, you need a passport and a visa, ticket, luggage, and a hundred of other things. If you
25、lose any of them, your journey may be ruined.（分数：12.00）(1).In primitive times men traveled _.（分数：3.00）A.for joyB.from necessityC.to broaden the mindD.to escape from the wild animals(2).Which of the following statements is NOT true?（分数：3.00）A.Primitive people had to arm themselves with wooden sticks

27、ecause we are provided with all kinds of convenient means for travelingC.because traveling organizations can be found in the countries the world overD.so travelers have increased rapidly(4).In the sentence “. to escape from hostile neighbors .“, the word “hostile“ means _.（分数：3.00）A.talkativeB.hot-h
28、eadedC.enthusiasticD.unfriendly七、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：12.00)One evening Mr. Green was driving home along a lonely country, road. He had 1,000 in his pocket. At the loneliest part of the road, a man asked for a lift (搭车). Mr. Green told him to get into the car and continued his driving. When he tal
29、ked to the man and learned that the man had been in prison for robbery and had broken out of prison two days before, Mr. Green was very worried. Suddenly he saw a police-car and had a bright idea. He just reached a small town where the speed limit was 30 miles an hour. But he drove the car as fast a
30、s it could go. He looked back and saw that the police-car had begun to chase him. After a mile or so the police-car overtook (赶上) him and ordered him to stop. A policeman got out and came to Mr. Green“s car. Mr. Green hoped that he could tell the policeman about the escaped robber, but he felt the m
31、an had put a gun against his back. The policeman took out his notebook and pencil, saying he wanted Mr. Green“s name and address. Mr. Green asked to be taken to the police station, but the policeman said, “No, you will have to appear at the police station later.“ Mr. Green had to do as the policeman
32、 told him. The policeman wrote his name and address down, put his notebook and pencil back in his pocket and gave Mr. Green a talk about dangerous driving. Then Mr. Green started up his car again and drove on. Just as he reached the suburb of London, the passenger said, “I want to get off here.“ Mr.
33、 Green stopped the car, the man got out and said, “Thanks for the lift. You“ve been good to me. This is the least I can do in return.“ And he handed Mr. Green the policeman“s notebook, which he stole while the policeman was talking to Mr. Green.（分数：12.00）(1).The man asking for a lift was _.（分数：3.00）
34、A.a robber who robbed driversB.a policeman who had worked in prisonC.a prisoner who had escaped from prisonD.a stranger with 1,000 in his pocket(2).Mr. Green was worried because _.（分数：3.00）A.he was driving along a lonely roadB.he had taken a stranger in his carC.he saw a police-carD.he was afraid th

37、a real tree. This is because there is no wood in the stem (树干) rising above the ground. The stem is made up of leaves growing very close together, one inside the other. The leaves spread out at the top of the stem and rise in the air. Banana plants need a lot of care and attention. They must be prov
38、ided with water if the normal rainfall doesn“t supply enough. The area around the plants must be kept free of weeds (杂草) and grass. About nine or ten months after planting, a flower appears on the banana plant. This flower is at the end of a long stalk (茎), which grows from the base up through the c
39、enter of the stem and turns downward when it comes out from the top. Small bananas form on this flower stalk as it grows downward. Bananas really grow upside down. As the small bananas form on the stalk, they point downward, but as they grow they turn and point upward. Bananas are harvested while th
40、ey are still green. Even when they are to be eaten where they are grown, they are not allowed to ripen on the plant. A banana that turns yellow on the plant loses its taste.（分数：12.00）(1).The first paragraph in the text mainly discusses _.（分数：3.00）A.why the stem of the tree is woodB.how the banana gr
41、ows on the stemC.why the banana tree is not a treeD.how the leaves grow out of the stem(2).The underlined word “it“ in the third paragraph refers to _.（分数：3.00）A.the leafB.the stalkC.the stemD.the plant(3).According to the text, where do bananas actually grow?（分数：3.00）A.On the stem.B.On the leaves.C

Do w
43、e have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs? These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the same time it can save the la
44、nd to hold garbage. For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. However, garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemical
45、ly similar to these fossil fuels. As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source. Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to bo
46、il water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the city“s garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million b
47、arrels of oil. Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth.（分数：12.00）(1).What two problems can be solved by burning garbage?（分数：3.00）
48、A.The shortage of energy and air pollution.B.The shortage of energy and the land to hold garbage.C.Air pollution and the shortage of fossil fuel.D.Air pollution and the shortage of land to hold garbage.(2).According to the passage, using garbage is _.（分数：3.00）A.for heating in France each yearB.a new
49、 way in a modern societyC.a good way to solve the problem of energy shortageD.too expensive as an energy source(3).What is the author“s attitude?（分数：3.00）A.Delighted.B.Sad.C.Agreeing.D.Disagreeing.(4).The best title for the passage may be _.（分数：3.00）A.Garbage and the EarthB.Fossil Fuel and GarbageC.Land and GarbageD.Garbage? Energy SourceA. What should I do B. Thank you, mom C. Where have you been D. Yes, he is E. What was wrong with
