23、rom an endless variety of special foods.

At every table you soon recognize someone who is famous.After lunch this well-dressed group of per

24、sons goes down to the gambling room. By two oclock the room is well filled, by three it is crowded, and it remains so until the early hours of the morning. I was deeply impressed, and I welcomed an opportunity to meet Mr. Whitney himself.I found him a man square of jaw, cold of eyes, his face rather

25、 unexpressive much what I expected. He was not a very communicative person. He told me his once experience, though.“The other day a lady, who claimed herself Mrs. John Rossiter, came to my once.“ He said, “Before she said a word she began to cry; the tears came into her eyes and began to run down he

26、r cheeks, and she kept wiping them away with her handkerchief, trying all the way to control herself. I cant stand, but this rather impressed me.“Her husband had lost thirty thousand dollars in the gambling room, she told me. I have known John Rossiter well enough to say Hello, but not much more tha

27、n that. Mrs. Rossiter explained that the great problem of her life had been her husbands gambling. It was a long story, I dont remember the details, but I told her that I agreed to give her back the money which her husband had lost.“As he spoke of this a light came into his eyes, and a faint smile a

32、very well.八、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：10.00)The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was set up in 1988 to assess information on climate change and its influence. Many hundreds of scientists from many countries participated in its preparation and review. Incorporating new results from the past fiv

33、e years of research on climate change, its third report in 2004 predicted global temperature rises by 2100 of between 1.4 and 5.8compared to a previous assessment of 1.0 to 3.5 for the same period. Although the issue of the changing climate is very complex and some changes are uncertain, temperature

34、 rises are expected to affect countries throughout the world and have a severe effect on sea- level rises.Scientists have argued about whether temperature rises are due to human activities or due to natural changes in our environment. Some have believed that the emission of industrial and life waste

35、s turns to warm the surface, while the others have insisted that natural factors, such as changes in solar output or explosive volcanic activity can also be criminal in this case.The IPCC announced in 2001 that “most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is likely to be owing to human activ

36、ities“. This was a more forceful statement than in 1996 when the second report stated that there was a “definite human influence on the climate“ which was the first time they had concluded such a link. Many experts believe the faster the climate changes, the greater the risk will be.Key points of th

37、e predictions for climate change globally include that by the second half of the 21st century, wintertime rainfall in the northern areas will rise, that at the same time Australia, Central America and southern Africa are likely to see decreases in autumn rainfall, that some land areas in the tropics

38、 will see more rainfall, and that there will generally be more hot days over land areas.The IPCC also warned that global surface temperature increases and rising sea level are predicted to continue for hundreds of years after stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations, owing to the long timescal

39、es on which the deep ocean adjusts to climate change. Therefore, further research is required to improve the ability to detect, attribute and understand climate change, to reduce uncertainties and to project future climate changes.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, a Chinese city that recorded

40、45 at noon on August 4, 2004, will probably witness a temperature of _ at 12:00 sharp in the year of 2100.（分数：2.00）A.46.1B.1.4C.5.8D.a number that I do not know(2).According to the author, climate researchers _.（分数：2.00）A.are quite sure about why its getting hotter and hotterB.declare that we humans

41、 are the cause why its getting hotterC.have discussed the possible causes why its hotterD.have claimed that changes in nature are the roots of hot days.(3).The IPCC announcement that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is _.（分数：2.00）A.possibly due to human activitiesB.the first link

42、between warming and humanC.due to explosive volcanic activityD.partly due to human activities(4).“Such a link“ in the passage refers probably to _.（分数：2.00）A.IPCC and climate changesB.global temperatures and sea levelsC.natural changes and human activitiesD.human activities and temperature rises(5).

43、Obviously, the word “project“ in the last paragraph most probably refers to _.（分数：2.00）A.predictB.reportC.reduceD.stabilize九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstandings between them. They have alway

44、s complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are eager to control and dominate; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises; that they talk too much about certain problems - and they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child

45、relationships. I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainment and music. This is not their motives. They feel isola

46、ted from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, it turns out that their music or entertainment irritates their parents. This gives them additional joy.Sometimes you are resistant, and proud because you dont want your paren

47、ts to approve of what you do. If they do approve, it looks as if you are opposed to your own group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are loser: you cant win but at least you can keep your honor. This is negative way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood,

48、 when you are completely under your parents control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to be responsible for yourself.If you plan to control your life, cooperation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the way you- want. You can i

49、mpress others with your sense of responsibility, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.（分数：10.00）(1).The author is primarily addressing _.（分数：2.00）A.parents of teenagersB.newspaper readersC.those who gives advice to teenagersD.teenagers(2).The first paragraph is mainly about _.（分数：2.00）A.the teenagers criticism of their parentsB.misunderstandings between teenagers and their parentsC.the dominance of the parents over their childrenD.the teenagers abil
