But for a small country it has a surprising range of climate. People who have never visited
13、 England, or who have visited only one part of it, often make the mistake of thinking that it is a cold and wet country. Except for the summer months of June to September, this is probably true of the north of England and the Midlands. In the south, however, the climate is much more pleasant. One re
14、sult is that when people retire from a job in the north they often prefer to move down to the milder south. Perhaps the warmest part of the country is the southwest, which consists of the counties of Devon and Cornwall. The warm Gulf Stream flows across the North Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Mexi
15、co and makes the coastal regions of the southwest quite warm. Palm trees, bamboo (竹) and many semi-tropical(亚热带的) plants grow well in the southwest of England. Flowers and vegetables ripen (成熟) as much as a month earlier than those elsewhere. Farmers in the area obtain a higher price for their veget
16、ables and flowers because they are ready earlier. In winter there may be several feet of snow in other parts of England but there will probably be no snow at all in the southwest. This may be one of the reasons why the southwest is one of England“s most popular holiday areas.（分数：10.00）(1).The distan
17、ce from the center of England to the south coast is about _.（分数：2.00）A.one hundred milesB.three hundred milesC.one hundred and fifty milesD.six hundred miles(2).England is a country _.（分数：2.00）A.with a cold and wet climateB.with a surprising climateC.with a pleasant climateD.with a variety of climat
18、es(3).According to the passage, _.（分数：2.00）A.flowers and vegetables from Devon are on the market one month earlierB.farmers in the southwest grow as many vegetables and flowers as farmers elsewhereC.people in the southwest have to pay a higher price for vegetables and flowersD.vegetables in Cornwall
19、 ripen as much as a month earlier than flowers(4).In the north of England and the Midlands, _.（分数：2.00）A.it is cold and wet all the year roundB.the climate is pleasant as a wholeC.it is warm most of the time in a yearD.only the summer is not cold or wet(5).In winter, people in Devon and Cornwall _.（
20、分数：2.00）A.seldom see snowB.never see any snowC.may have several feet of snowD.often see snow五、Passage 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)How can we get rid of garbage? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs? These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people thi
21、nk 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 land to hold garbage. For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped(倾倒) it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is
22、 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 chemically similar to these fossil(化石) fuels. As we use up our fossil fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source. Burning garb
23、age 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 boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Paris, France, some power plants burn alm
24、ost 2 million metric tons of the cities garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels 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 e
25、nergy needs. This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth.（分数：10.00）(1).What two problems can man solve by burning garbage?（分数：2.00）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 fossi
26、l fuel.D.Air pollution and the shortage of land to hold garbage.(2).Which of the following is not the result of burning garbage?（分数：2.00）A.The garbage burned is turned into fossil fuels.B.The heat produced is used to boil water.C.The steam produced is used to make electricity.D.The steam produced is
27、 used to heat buildings.(3).According to the passage which of the following is NOT true?（分数：2.00）A.About 2 million metric tons of garbage is burned in some power plants in Paris, France each year.B.In a modern society, more and more garbage is produced each year.C.Using garbage is a good way to solv
28、e the problem of energy shortage.D.It will be too expensive to use garbage as an energy source.(4).What is the author“s attitude?（分数：2.00）A.Delighted.B.Sad.C.Agreeing.D.Disagreeing.(5).The best title for the passage may be _.（分数：2.00）A.Garbage and the EarthB.Fossil Fuel and GarbageC.Land and Garbage
29、D.GarbageEnergy Source六、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Fire can help people in many ways. But it can be very dangerous. Fire can heat water, warm houses, give fight and cook. But fire can burn things, too. It can burn trees, houses, animals or people. Sometimes big fires can burn forests. Nobody knows for
30、 sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting stories about the first time a man or a woman started a fare. One story from Australia tells about a man very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope (绳子) and brought fire down. Today people know how to make a fare with
31、matches (火柴) . Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can burn a piece of paper and then it might burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire very fast. Fire kills many people every year. So you must be careful with matches. You should also learn
32、 to put out fires. Fires need oxy- gen (氧气). Without oxygen they will die. Cover a fire with water, sand, or sometimes with your coat. This keeps the air away from a fire and kills it. Be careful with fire, and it will help you. Be careless with fire, and it will burn you.（分数：10.00）(1).How did peopl
33、e begin to use fire?（分数：2.00）A.Not everybody knows how people began to use fire.B.Nobody knows how to make a fare.C.It is an Australian who started a fire.D.We are not sure how people began to use fare.(2).Children mustn“t play with matches because _.（分数：2.00）A.matches burn paperB.it isn“t interesti
34、ngC.they can be dangerousD.they can burn a house(3).When you are going to put out a fire, you _.（分数：2.00）A.must be carefulB.should keep air away from itC.must know it is dangerousD.should cover it with water(4).We must be careful with fire, or it _.（分数：2.00）A.will dieB.will warm our housesC.might bu
35、rn usD.won“t help us(5).Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?（分数：2.00）A.Fire can help people in many ways.B.Fire can be both helpful and dangerous.C.Fire can burn things and people.D.We must be careful with matches.七、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Extensive new studies suggest that the
36、world has made extraordinary progress in reducing poverty in recent decades. The research suggests that the pace of economic progress has been rapid and continued for decades, built on the foundations of relative political stability, rising trade, and economic liberalization (自由化) after two world wa
37、rs. One new study, published recently by the Institute for International Economics in Washington, find that the proportion of the 6.1 billion people in the word who live on $1 a day or less shrank from 63 percent in 1950 to 35 percent in 1980 and 12 percent in 1999. By some other measures, the progr
38、ess has been more modest. Still, economists agree that poverty has plunged in key nations such as India and especially China, thanks to slowing population growth as well as economic freedom. “This is a huge success for the world as a whole,“ says Harvard University economist Richard Cooper. “We are
39、doing something right.“ The news comes as the World Bank is about to open its annual meeting in Washingtonan event that has been troubled in recent years by protests that the Bank and its sister Institution, the International Monetary Fund(IMF 国际货币组织), have done too little for the world“s poor. The
40、new economic research will not put an end to that dispute. Vast populations remain poor, and many still question the wisdom of World Bank policies. Nonetheless, the research findings are helpful to understand what policies should be followed by those institutions and hundreds of other development gr
41、oups working very hard to hasten the pace of world economic progress. If dramatic gains are under way, the present policies-calling for open markets, free business activities, and tight monetary controlare working and correct. But critics of IMF and World Bank policies maintain that such economic su
42、ccess stories as Japan, China, South Korea and Singapore are rooted in more than just “free“ markets. These nations have managed to grow rapidly, and thereby reduce poverty, by limiting imports when their domestic industries were young, pushing exports to rich nations, and putting controls on purely
43、 international financial flows. The have been open to foreign-owned factories but have often insisted that those investors share the knowledge and skill on modem technologies.（分数：10.00）(1).The word “plunged“ in the first paragraph means _.（分数：2.00）A.decreasedB.climbedC.increasedD.dropped into water(
44、2).From the passage, we learn that _.（分数：2.00）A.World Bank has done nothing to help the poor in the worldB.IMF only helps the rich in the worldC.World Bank controls all the banks in the worldD.There are some demonstrations against World Bank in recent years(3).According to this passage, in _, the wo
45、rld had the largest number of poor people.（分数：2.00）A.1999B.1980C.1950D.1990(4).According to the author, the economy of East Asian countries grew very fast because of the following measures EXCEPT _.（分数：2.00）A.encouraging exportB.opening up to foreign investmentsC.limiting international financial flo
46、wsD.controlling import(5).The best title -for this passage might be _.（分数：2.00）A.China“s Contribution to the Reduction of Poverty in the WorldB.World Bank“s Extraordinary Progress in Recent DecadesC.India“s Leading Role in Reducing Global PovertyD.Global Progress in Reducing Poverty八、Part Vocabulary
