10、 of the body. Male cigarette smokers have a higher death rate from heart disease than non-smoking males. Female smokers are thought to be less affected because they do not breathe in the smoke so deeply.Apart from statistics, it might be helpful to look at what tobacco does to the human body. Smoke

As smoke is breathed in, all those components from deposits on the membranes of the lungs. One point of concentration is where the air tube and bronc

15、、第 3 部分:概括大意与完成句子(总题数:1,分数:8.00)Global Warming1 Smoke is clouding our view of global warming, protecting the planet from perhaps three-quarters of the greenhouse (温室) effect. That might sound like good news, but experts say that as the cover diminishes in coming decades, we are facing a dramatic inc
16、rease of warming that could be two or even three times as great as official best guesses.2 This was the dramatic conclusion reached last week at a workshop in Dahlem, Berlin, where top atmospheric scientists got together, including Nobel prizewinner Paul Crutzen and Swedish scientist Bert Bolin, for
17、mer chairman of the UNs Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).3 IPCC scientists have suspected for a decade that aerosols (浮质) of smoke and other particles from burning rainforest, crop waste and fossil fuels are blocking sunlight and counteracting the warming effect of carbon dioxide (二氧
18、化物) emissions. Until now, they reckoned that aerosols reduced greenhouse warming by perhaps a quarter, cutting increases by 0.2. So the 0.6 of warming over the past century would have been 0.8 without aerosols.4 But the Berlin workshop concluded that the real figure is even higheraerosols may have r
19、educed global warming by as much as three-quarters, cutting increases by 1.8. If so, the good news is that aerosols have prevented the world getting almost two degrees warmer than it is now. But the bad news is that the climate system is much more sensitive to greenhouse gases than previously guesse
20、d.5 As those gases are expected to continue accumulating in the atmosphere while aerosols stabilize or fall, that means “dramatic consequences for estimates of future climate change“, the scientists agreed in a draft report from the workshop.(分数:8.00)(1).Paragraph 2_A.

Held in Ri
24、o de Janeiro, the countrys biggest city, the carnival began on February 20 when the mayor gave key of the city to Rei Momo-the Lord of Misrule (无序之皇)On his orders, each year people turn the city into a paradise of dance and music. The following six days are so fun of parades, street dancing, fantast
25、ic clothes and partying (聚会) that many people forget about eating and sleeping.“It was the passion of the carnival that attracted me to Brazil and made me settle down in Rio. “ said Bob Nadkarni, a British man who has lived in the city for several years. For many Brazilians, the centerpiece of the c
26、arnival is samba (桑巴舞) , a typical Brazilian dance. Every year, tens of thousands of visitors and locals show off their passion and energy in the streets, following the beat (节拍) of the Latin music.The climax to this street party is the float(彩车) parade, in which floats decorated with tons of fresh
27、flowers by various samba schools and local communities move through the city. On the top of each float stands the candidate for the Drum Queen, who is chosen at the end of the party.While most people are free to enjoy the celebrations. Rios police officers have to keep a clear head. Following the mu
28、rder of three officers in a gunfight early last week, the Brazilian Government has tightened security in Rio. The street fighting, robbery and sex crimes that accompany the carnival are very difficult to police.Carnivals began in ancient Rome as a celebration at which people fed wild wolves, in hono
29、r of the citys founder who was said to have been raised by a she-wolf. Brazil gave new life to this tradition and so despite the troubles, the carnival will remain a symbol of the countrys culture.(分数:15.00)(1).According to the passage, during the Carnival people in Rio did all of the following EXCE

Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and o
34、nce at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation“ of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet rea
35、d the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting (背诵) it.I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important th
36、an “analyzing“ it, if there isnt time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life“, and “a heightening (提升) of life“. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling“, and it “can save your life“. It also deserves a place in th
37、e teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who dont like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential
38、 nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.(分数:15.00)(1).To have a better understanding of a poem, one shouldA. discuss it with others.B. analyze it by oneself.C. copy it down in a notebook.D. practise readi
39、ng it aloud.(分数:3.00)A.B.C.D.(2).Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry?A. Extending your life.B. Saving your life.C. Criticizing life.D. Heightening life.(分数:3.00)A.B.C.D.(3).According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get studentsA. to understand
40、 life.B. to enjoy poetry.C. to become teachers.D. to become poets.(分数:3.00)A.B.C.D.(4).What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?A. More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.B. The teaching of poetry is more important than any other subject.C. One cannot enjoy life fully wi
41、thout an understanding of poetry.D. Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses.(分数:3.00)A.B.C.D.(5).The phrase “make room“ in the last paragraph could be best replaced byA. “build a booth“.B. “provide equipment“.C. “leave a certain amount of time“.D. “set aside enough space“.(分数
42、:3.00)A.B.C.D.七、第三篇(总题数:1,分数:7.00)The Gulf WarThe Pentagon ordered 16,099 body bags to be shipped to the Persian Gulf to bring home dead Americans. In the end, 15,773 of the bags were not necessary.The Iraqi army would have needed-what? One hundred thousand body bags? More? No one knows or will ever
43、 know. No one has counted the Iraqi corpses(尸体). Many of them were buried in the sand, without ceremony; some have been taken care of by vultures.That so few soldiers in the coalition died somehow seemed to Americans a vindication. It was even a return of their shining self, of Buffalo Bill, who (E.
44、 E. Cummings wrote) could “ride a water smooth-silver stallion and break one two three four five pigeons just like that.“ The unspoken text was this: the nation had recovered its immunity, its divine favour, or anyway its gift for doing things right. The victory was as satisfying as anything America
45、ns have done together since landing on the moon.Would it be seemly to have a moment of silence for the Iraqi corpses?It is not inconsequential (不合理的) to kill 100,000 people. That much life suddenly and violently extinguished must leave a ragged hole somewhere in the universe. One looks for special e
46、ffects of a metaphysical (超自然的) kind to attend so much deaththe whoosh of all those souls departing. But many of them died ingloriously (不体面的), like road kill, full of their disgrace, facedown with the toot scattered around them. The conquered often die ignominiously. The victors have not given them
47、 much thought.Still, killing 100,000 people is a serious thing to do. It is not equivalent to shooting a rabid dog, which is, down deep, what Americans feel the war was all about, exterminating a beast with rabies. All those 100,000 men were not megalomaniacs (夸大狂者), torturers and murderers. They di
48、d not all commit atrocities in Kuwait. They were ordinary people: peasants, truck drivers, students and so on. They had the love of their families, the dignity of their lives and work. They cared as little for politics, or less, than most people in the world. They were, precisely, not Saddam Hussein
49、. Which means, since Saddam was the coalitions one true target in all of this, that those 100,000 corpses are, so to speak, collateral (附带的) damage. The famous smart bombs did not find the one man they were seeking.(分数:7.00)(1).According to the passage, how many American soldiers were killed in the Gulf War?A. 16,099. B. 15,773.C. 226. D. Over three hundred.(分数
