When he was a college student, doctors discovered that he had a rare disease. This disease caus
7、es a gradual disintegration (分解) of the nerve cells in the brain cells that regulate voluntary muscle activity. Death almost always occurs within two or three years. Today Stephen Hawking cannot walk or speak. He cannot move his arms or his head. He cannot taste or smell anything. And yet this man i
8、s Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, a position held by the famous scientist Isaac Newton in 1669. Hawking is often described as the greatest scientist since Albert Einstein, but to the world outside science, he is also known as the man who made scientific theory understandable. His b
9、ook, A Brief History of Time , has sold over eight million copies. He says that since he does not have to think about his body or do any of the things other men have to worry about, such as washing the car or working in the yard, he can dedicate all of his time to thinking. This puts him in the perf
10、ect position to find the answer to the question that he has dedicated his life to. His question is: Is there a complete theory of the universe and everything in it? Despite his tremendous physical disabilities, he has already made some very important discoveries about the origin of the universe, how
11、 the universe holds together, and how it will probably end. He has also been able to explain the secrets of “black holes“ in space. Now he is looking for a set of rules that everything in our universe must obey. He calls it the Theory of Everything. He thinks that someone will have found the answer
12、within the next 20 years. If Stephen Hawking is able to find his Theory of Everything, he will have given the world the opportunity to understand things that will change the whole nature of science and probably also the way we live.（分数：7.00）(1).Stephen Hawking will be 50 years old by 2017.（分数：1.00）A

Newspaper circulation (销量) in Europe is falling and Ireland and the UK h
16、ave experienced the biggest drop. Despite this, the news isn“t all bad for the industry. Global newspaper sales are increasing. Nevertheless, it is clear that newspapers need to change to meet the demands of a rapidly changing readership in a digital world. 2 The industry in Europe has made a number
17、 of changes, such as introducing more colour and moving from the big broadsheets to the much more user-friendly size. The most radical innovation has been the introduction of online newspapers. But are online papers here to stay? On the one hand, it is clear from the large increase in online readers
18、 that e-papers are popular. On the other hand, their financial future is not so certain. This is basically because most people are not prepared to pay for online news. In fact, if it wasn“t for advertising (做广告), online newspapers would have a very hard time indeed. 3 A growing number of people are
19、reading electronic newspapers instead of the print press and with good reason. First of all, they can read the news whenever they want. Secondly, readers are free to explore a subject as much or as little as they want. Thirdly, it is the perfect medium for “real-time“ news. 4 The general view is tha
20、t the future “paper“ will be a multimedia (多媒体) mix. Advanced technology and programming software will allow the user to create their own “news package“. And it will arrive immediately, fed by super-fast Internet connections. The reader will receive up-to-the-minute news about everything from their
21、local traffic problems to updates (更新) on news of specific interest to them. Nobody knows for sure what will happen, but as one expert puts it, “We won“t be saying “Here is the news“, we will be saying, “Here is your news.“（分数：8.00）(1).Paragraph 1 1 A.

When you consider the fact that the money is sup
25、posed to be given to children in need of medical care, you might call the idea crazy. Most student leaders don“t want to spend a large amount of time on something they care little about, said 22-year-old University of Florida student Darren Heitner. He was the Dance Marathon“s operations officer for
26、 two years. Yvonne Fangmeyer, director of the student organization office at the University of Wisconsin, conducted a survey in February of students involved in campus organizations. She said the desire for friendship was the most frequently cited reason for joining. At large universities like Fangm
27、eyer“s, which has more than 40,000 students, the students first of all want to find a way to “belong in their own corner of campus“. Katie Rowley, a Wisconsin senior, confirms the survey“s findings. “I wanted to make the campus feel smaller by joining an organization where I could not only get invol
28、ved on campus but also find a group of friends.“ All of this talk of friendship, however, does not mean that students aren“t thinking about their rsums. “I think that a lot of people do join to “ fatten up their rsums“,“ said Heitner. “At the beginning of my college career, I joined a few of these o
29、rganizations, hoping to get a start in my leadership roles.“ But without passion student leaders can have a difficult time trying to weather the storms (经受风雨) that will come. For example, in April, several student organizations at Wisconsin teamed up for an event designed to educate students about h
30、omelessness and poverty. Student leaders had to face the problem of solving disagreements, moving the event because of rainy weather, and dealing with the university“s complicated bureaucracy (官僚机构). “Outside-the-classroom learning really makes a big difference,“ Fangmeyer said.（分数：15.00）(1).An outs
31、ide-the-classroom activity like raising a fund of $300,000 is risky because most student leaders are _.（分数：3.00）A.busyB.inexperiencedC.not richD.not interested(2).American students join campus organizations mostly for _.（分数：3.00）A.making a differenceB.gaining experienceC.developing friendshipD.impro

They also hear the reflections as the sound bounces off the walls, floor, and ceiling. T
34、hese are called the reflected wave or reverberant (反射的) sound, which can be heard even after the sound is no longer coming from the source. The reverberation time of an auditorium is determined by the volume or interior size of the auditorium. It is also determined by how well or how poorly the wall
35、s, ceiling, floor, and contents of the room (including the people) absorb sound. There is no ideal reverberation time, because each use of an auditorium calls for different reverberation. Speech needs to be understood clearly; therefore rooms used for talking must have a short reverberation time. Th
36、e full-sound performance of music such as Wagner operas or Mahler symphonies should have a long reverberation time. The light, rapid musical passages of Bach or Mozart need a reverberation time somewhere between. Acoustic problems often are caused by poor auditorium design. Smooth, curved (弯曲的) refl
37、ecting surfaces create large reflections. Parallel (平行的) walls reflect sound back and forth, creating a rapid, repetitive pulsing (有节奏的跳动) effect. Large pillars (柱) and comers can cause acoustic shadows as the sound waves try to pass around the object. Some of these problems can be solved by using a
38、bsorbers and reflectors to change the reverberation time of a room. For example, hanging large reflections, called clouds, over the performers will allow some sound frequencies to reflect and others to pass to achieve a pleasing mixture of sound.（分数：15.00）(1).This passage is mainly about _.（分数：3.00）
39、A.sound waves and their effectsB.the types of music orchestras playC.walls of an auditoriumD.the design of an auditorium(2).Wagner operas and Mahler symphonies sound with full-sound effect have _.（分数：3.00）A.a short reverberation timeB.a long reverberation timeC.an intermediate reverberation timeD.no
40、 reverberation time(3).This passage suggests that a good auditorium should _.（分数：3.00）A.achieve a pleasing mixture of soundB.get rid of all reflectionsC.not have absorbersD.have smooth surfaces(4).Large pillars and comers may _.（分数：3.00）A.make sound rich and fullB.be an answer to sound problemsC.be
41、sources of sound problemsD.function as effectively as clouds(5).The word “acoustic“ in the last paragraph has something to do with _.（分数：3.00）A.performanceB.audienceC.soundD.weather七、第三篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Covering the Cost All by HimselfUniversity life is in no way cheap in Canada. It costs Peter Kemp,
42、 a computer science major at the British Columbia Institute of Technology in Vancouver, C $18,000 a year. Amazingly, the 21-year-old is covering the cost by himself. For the past three years, Kemp has done a range of part-time jobs to pay for his tuition (学费) and living expenses. Last semester alone
43、, he worked five jobs for 32-40 hours a week. Life is busy, but Kemp enjoys it. “Doing part-time jobs gives me economic independence,“ said Kemp, who will begin his senior year this fall. “Having economic independence gives me the ability to take control of my life and make my own decisions,“ said K
44、emp. “It has also helped me understand the value of money.“ Among Kemp“s five jobs last semester, two were on campus. For one, he helped maintain the university“s computer labs. For the other, he worked at the IT service desk to help students and teachers solve their computer problems. He also worke
45、d for a small company that develops GPS systems. This job paid him well at C $27 an hours. “These jobs made me put what I“ve learned in university to practical use,“ Kemp said. “I accomplished creative and imaginative tasks by applying my abilities to the work.“ Good time management skills help Kemp
46、 balance work and study. He“s a top student in his class. And he will be the student association chairman for his department beginning next semester. It“s a position that he has desired for a long time. “It will give me the opportunity to be the voice for my fellow students and make a difference,“ s
47、ays Kemp. “I believe one of the key secrets to juggling (应付) everything is to avoid putting off tasks. This can leave you stressed and reduce the quality of your work and health,“ he said. “I often make a list of the things I need to do each day and rank them by their importance. The list helps me d
48、ecide what task I should do first and when I should complete it. Remember to ask for help when you think you can“t finish something on time, or can“t finish it by yourself.“（分数：15.00）(1).Who is Peter Kemp?（分数：3.00）A.A computer student.B.An American student.C.A French student.D.A British student.(2).
