He fell down and kissed the place where Mustapha used to sit, telling Aladdins mother not to be (31) at not having see

16、e in various parts of the United States. In the Northeast and Midwest, people are said to be closed and private. In the South and West, however, they are often thought of as being more open and hospitable. Ask someone from St. Louis where the nearest sandwich shop is, and he or she will politely giv
17、e you directions. A New Yorker might eye you at first and after deciding it is safe to talk to you, might give you a rather unexpected explanation. A person from Georgia might be very kind about directing you and even suggest some different places to eat. A Texan just might take you to the place and
18、 treat you to lunch.American stereotypes are abundant. New Englanders are often thought of as being friendly and helpful. Southerners are known for their hospitality and warmth. People from the western part of the United States are often considered very outgoing. These differences in character can b
19、e traced to different factors such as climate, living conditions, and historical development.When travelling from place to place, Americans themselves are often surprised at the differing degrees of friendliness in the United States.（分数：12.00）(1).The main idea of the passage is _.A. even Americans a
20、re surprised at the big differences among themselvesB. there are many differences in character in different parts of the USAC. there are many reason for the differencesD. stereotypes about people are not necessarily true（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.
21、New Yorkers are usually open with strangers.B. People from the South are usually considered good hosts.C. The friendliest Americans travel from place to place.D. Different parts have different customs and habits.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The differences lie in the following except _ of the parts.A. the w
22、eather B. the history C. geography D. the names（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).New Englanders are often thought of as being _.A. hospital and warm B. out goingC. friendly and helpful D. all of the above（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.六、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：12.00)The worlds oceans have warmed 50 percent faster over the last 4
23、0 years than previously thought due to climate change, Australian and US climate researchers reported Wednesday. Higher ocean temperatures expand the volume of water, contributing to a rise in sea levels that is covering small island nations and threatening to destroy the low-lying, densely-populate
24、d low regions around the globe.The study, published in the British journal Nature, adds to a growing scientific chorus of warnings about the pace and consequences rising oceans. It also serves as a corrective to a massive report issued last year by the Nobel-winning UN Intergovernmental Panel on Cli
25、mate Change (IPCC), according to the authors.Rising sea levels are driven by two things: the thermal expansion of sea water, and additional water from melting sources of ice. Both processes are caused by global warming. The ice sheet that sits atop Greenland, for example, contains enough water to ra
26、ise world ocean levels by seven meters, which would bury sea-level cities from Dhaka to Shanghai.Trying to figure out how much each of these factors contributes to rising sea levels is critically important to understanding climate change, and forecasting future temperature rises, scientists say. But
27、 up to now, there has been a puzzling gap between the projections of computer-based climate models, and the observations of scientists gathering data from the oceans.The new study, led by Catia Domingues of the Centre for Australian Weather and Climate Research, is the first to reunite the models wi
28、th observed data. Using new techniques to assess ocean temperatures to a depth of 700 meters from 1961 to 2003, it shows that thermal warming contributed to a 0.53 millimeter-per-year rise in sea levels rather than the 0.32 mm rise reported by the IPCC.（分数：12.00）(1).What happens when the oceans temp
29、erature rises?A. It causes sea levels to rise.B. It causes sea levels to decrease.C. It causes sea levels to remain unchanged.D. It causes sea flood all over the globe.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The rise in water levels is especially dangerous for small island nations and _.A. low-lying urban areas B. all
30、 coastal citiesC. people who live on the beach D. Shanghai（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Ultimately, the new study should help scientists to _.A. lower water levelsB. change their opinionsC. better predict climate changeD. bury sea-level cities like Dhaka and Shanghai（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).What was the main fin
31、ding of the study?A. The warming of the worlds oceans is not a threat.B. That not enough is being done about global warming.C. There is a puzzling gap between the model and observations.D. Ocean waters have warmed faster than scientists had previously thought.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.七、Passage Three(总题数：1，分
32、数：12.00)If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1947), concluded from other mens work and his own among peoples in different cli
33、mates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean
34、 however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring mans mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.Fall
35、is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking!（分数：12.00）(1).Ellsworth Huntington decided that climate and temperature have _.A. a great effect on everyones intelligenceB. same effect on most persons intelligenceC. some effect on
36、 a few persons intelligenceD. no effect on most persons intelligence（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).It seems that the cold winter _.A. increases the ability to thinkB. is the best time for thinkingC. is better for thinking than is very warm weatherD. decreases the ability to think（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).One possi
37、ble reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that _.A. all nature, including man, is growing thenB. it lasts longer than the other seasonsC. it is not too warm and not too coldD. both B and C（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).According to the passage, any vacations from thinking should be taken _.A. s
38、everal times throughout the year B. during spring and fallC. during the summer D. as seldom as possible（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.八、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：12.00)Children for whom school has no pointMany children do not go to school either because their parents want them at home as carers for siblings, or simpl
39、y because their parents cannot be bothered to send them. Thousands more are not registered at any school at all, because of their families unstable lives.Underlying this dreadful situation there are two central truths. First of all, the problem of children not going to school often has more to do wi
40、th their parents than with the children themselves. Secondly, once children go to school, we need to make sure that the experience is a positive one so that they want to keep on going.In Britain, the Ministry of Education has introduced a complex package of sticks and carrots to persuade schools to
41、bring truants and excluded children back into the classroom. It is paying grants so that a thousand schools can set up special units to help these children. Schools receive the grant if they bring a target number of children back to school; if they do not meet the target, the grant is withdrawn.Pare
42、nts are the subject of this campaign, too: the Home Office has introduced fines for parents who fail to send their children to school, and has given the police power to pick up truants on the streets.truant = a child who does not go to school when he or she should.（分数：12.00）(1).According to the text
43、, there are thousands of children who _.A. run away from schoolB. live in stable familiesC. are not registered at any schoolD. stay at home doing the housework（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Part of the problem is _.A. that people feel very emotionalB. that parents worry their children at schoolC. that these c
44、hildren think education is a waste of timeD. that there are not enough police to pick up truants on the streets（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The Ministry of Education will take away a schools grant if _.A. they do not reach their objectivesB. they do not contact parentsC. children escape from schoolD. they m
45、eet their targets（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The Home Office _.A. has given powers to the police to pick up parentsB. will give money to parents to send children to schoolC. will go to the family and persuade parents and their childrenD. will punish parents who fail to send their children to school（分数：3.00
46、）A.B.C.D.九、Passage Five(总题数：1，分数：12.00)The year 2000 will bring big changes in communication. Cell phones will be small enough to carry in your pocket. Videophones will let you see the person you are talking to on the phone. Tiny hand size computers will know your favorite subjects. The Internet and
47、 email will be everywhere.Technologists believe 2000 will be the year of video messaging. You will be able to see whom youre talking to.Also in the near future small wireless boxes will pick up information from satellites. In 5 years, computers wont need to be connected through wires.All of this wil
48、l be good for rural areas and countries that dont have cable or telephone now.In 20 years you may only need to think about something and the computer will do it.Constance Hale is the author of Sin and Syntax, “I believe that email has been an incredible boon to communication. People are writing toda
49、y where they would have been telephoning yesterday. So people are engaging with words more than they have for the last couple generations.“If people use email and the Internet more, it could make people better readers and writers. Some people think the most important part of communication is to make people understand each other better. Will technology make that easier?The translator also comes in handy in medical emergencies.
