18、he corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage: If we observe carefully, we can find that most of the flowers in nature are red, orange and yellow. If we have seen a black flower, its a chance in a million. People have made a census (普查) to colors

19、of more than four thousand kinds of flowers and discovered that only eight of them are black. Why? As we know, sunlight is formed by seven different kinds of colored light. The wave length of each light changes, so the quantity of heat in each light changes, too. Flowers, especially their petals (花瓣

20、), are very delicate (纤弱) and prone (易于) to the harm caused by high temperature. Black flowers can take in all the light waves, which cause the flowers to dry up in a high temperature. So black flowers can rarely survive sunlight. But red flowers, orange flowers and yellow flowers can protect themse

21、lves from sunlight by reflecting (反射) the red light, orange light and yellow light, each of which has a large quantity of heat. That is why red, orange and yellow flowers are very common in nature while black flowers are so rare. （分数：10.00）(1). We can hardly find black flowers because . （分数：2.00）A.t

Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York

26、are among the largest and most well-known. The stock market, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell the shares of a factory or company. And each share means part ownership of a factory or company. Different people go to the stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get m

27、ore money than they have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks to try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money. Of course, investing (投资) money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing wel

28、l. The factory or company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and the investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock to go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down. No wonder g

29、oing to the stock market is often compared to gambling（赌博）. All are eager to make money by “gambling” in the stock market.

33、ck marketsB.gambling in stock marketsC.how to make money in stock marketsD.how to buy or sell shares in stock marketsQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage: A great difference between American social customs and those of other countries is the way in which names are used. Americans ha

34、ve little concern for “rank“, especially socially. Most Americans do not want to be treated in any especially respectful way because of their age or social rank; it makes them feel uncomfortable. Many Americans even find the terms “Mr“, “Mrs“ or “Miss“ too formal. People of all ages may prefer to be

35、 called by their first names. “Dont call me Mrs Smith, just call me Sally. “ Using only first names usually indicates friendliness and acceptance. However, if you do not feel comfortable using only first names, it is quite acceptable to be more formal. Just smile and say that after a while you will

36、use first names but you are accustomed to being more formal when you first meet someone. Very often, introductions are made using both first and last names: “Mary Smith, this is John Jones.“ In this situation you are free to decide whether to call the lady “Mary“ or “Miss Smith“. Sometimes both of y

37、ou will begin a conversation using last names, and after a while one or both of you may begin using first names instead. You have a choice: if you dont want to use first names so quickly, no one will think it impolite if you continue according to your own custom.（分数：10.00）(1).In the first paragraph

42、 the statements are true(A) or false (B) (判断对错，对的在答题卡上画 A， 错的在答题卡上画 B。) Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage: In America, normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a

43、 degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses, each lasting for one semester. A typical course consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending a university will probably request attending four or five courses during a semester

44、. Normally a student would expect to take four years, attending two semesters each years. It is possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact

45、 done as a regular practice. For every course that he follows, a student is given a grade which is recorded, and the record is available for the student to show to future employers. All this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for activi

46、ties in student affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the school authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating, has to appe

47、ar before a student court. With the enormous number of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career（分数：10.00）(1). Normally a student w
