    The Tang dynasty was probably the period when the Silk Road was at its busiest. One important centre on the road was the city of Chang’an, where present –day Xi’an now stands. Chang’an was the capital city of this dynasty and by about 750 AD  it had become a strong and successful capital of around two million people. Because of the chances for trade, a number of foreigners from bordering China lived in the city.
    The market at that time in Chang’ an were perhaps the most exciting markets anywhere in the word. They sold goods from India, Africa, Japan, Korea, Turkey, Iran and other Arab countries and many items in the markets world would have been completely to some of the buyers. Interesting animals was sold together with exotic plants and strange medicines. Dried animals, dried foods and dried plants were laid out for sale next to rare seeds and spices. But besides the hop to trade, which drew people together, China was still largely a mysterious country to the outside world, and certainly the secret of the silk making was still unknown.
    The route to the west followed different paths but the traders would have traveled from places to places, always looking for routes both to water and protection.

    Section A (10Points)
    Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.
    There are many things you can do to keep friendship strong forever.
    Trust is very important in keeping any relationship strong and long lasting. If you trust the person whom you have a good relationship with and the other person also trust you in the same way, then you two have a good relationship.
    You can remember important date of your friends such as their birthdays and wish them or give gifts to them on this special days. Many people say that money is the most important thing to consider, but remember friendship is not about money. You can find something small and inexpensive for their gifts or send online cards.
    A friend should also always help others even when it is not very convenient. So have a helping hand ready at all times.
    Sometimes distance makes relationships even closer. So, if you are far from your friends, there are many ways you can remain in contact（联系）. You can use email, chat programs, and you can also write a blog and share your daily life activities with your friends.
    If there is anything that makes you happy, share it with your friends. Listen to their thoughts as well. If they have achieved something noticeable, congratulate them and celebrate with them.
    I have seen good friendships and when there is unhealthy competition between two friends. Though this may not happen in many cases, it is better to keep this idea in mind since it may happen to you.
    As far as I have seen and experienced, it will be better not to either lend to or borrow money from your good friend. Of course, we have to do this with friends. But, attention should be paid so that your friendship may not end.

    SECTION B (10 points )
    Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.
    The average college student in America spent an estimated 700 dollars on textbooks last year. The National Association of College Stores reported more than five billion dollars in sales of textbooks and course materials.
    Association spokesman Charles Schmidt says electronic textbooks now represent just two to three percent of sales. But he says that is expected to reach 10 to 15 percent by 2012.
    Online versions are now available for many of the most popular college textbooks. E-textbooks can cost half the price of a new print textbook. But students usually lose access after the end of the term. And the books cannot be placed on more than one device, so they are not easy to share.
    So what do students think of e-textbooks? Administrators at Northwest Missouri State University wanted to find out. Earlier this year they tested them with 500 students in 20 classes.
    The students in the survey reported that downloading the books from the Internet was easy. They liked the idea of carrying lighter backpacks. And 56 percent said they were better able to find information.
    But most found that using e-textbooks did not change their study habits. And 60 percent felt they read more when they were reading on paper. In all, almost half the students said they still liked physical textbooks better.
    But the survey found that cost could be a big influence. 55 percent said they would choose e-textbooks if using them meant their textbook rental fee would not increase.
    Roger Von Holzen heads the Center for Information Technology in Education at Northwest Missouri State. He tells us that administrators are disappointed with the e-textbooks now available because the majority are not interactive.
    He thinks growth will come when more digital books include video, activities, games and other ways to interact with the information. The technology is improving. But for now, most of the books are just words on a screen.
    81. How much do the average college student in America spend on textbooks last year? （no more than 4 words）
    ______________________________________________________________________________
    82. What is the percentage of the e-textbook sales now according to Charles Schmidt? （no more than 4 words）
    ______________________________________________________________________________
    83. What do students think of downloading the books from the Internet in the survey? （no more than 2 words）

    Many people influenced various aspects of my life, based on their personal characteristics, accomplishments (才艺）, and values. I have been fortunate to have had numerous teachers and professors who I respect for their patienceand intelligence. There are artists that have inspired me by their natural talents and original creativity. I value many political leaders, who have inspired me by their contributions to society, and their ability to change our future. But of all the people I have known in my life, the person I admire most is my father.
    As the youngest girl in my family, I always considered myself to be “Daddy’s little girl.” While growing up, it always made me sad to see so many of my friends and neighbours without a father or father-like figure around. This helped me appreciate how my father always takes an interest in his children’s lives. In my early life my father continuously pushes me to excel, so I could accomplish my work outstandingly among my people. Whenever I feel like giving up, or having a question or a concern, I know I can always call on him for advice. From him I have also learned that sometimes you have to put others’ needs ahead of your own, but not to the point they will begin to take advantage of you. His strength seems to be unbreakable during hard times, and he is extremely determined to accomplish anything he sets his mind on, no matter how tiny it is. I highly respect him for how he stands up for what he believes in, and will never back down. I have always admired his open mind, enthusiasm for work and people around, and sense of understanding. He is a very reserved man, but to everybody’s surprise, he has a great sense of humor, and always knows how to put a smile on the faces of his wife, his children and his friends.
    Living in his affection and instruction, I am very proud of my father. He also professes how proud he is of his children, and is still there to support us in whatever we are involved in.

    My destination is the River Walk, one of the most popular places in all of Texas. In the first half of 20th century, to control flooding, the city fathers began redirecting the San Antonio River. They built a network of canals that pass through the downtown area. At nearly every street corner, stairs lead down to walkways on both sides of the canals.
    The River Walk is linked with cafes, bars, shops --- and, of course, plenty of bridges. You can easily cross over to the other side without having to return to the street. It’s a constant party along the River Walk, with music and festivals throughout the year. The Mud Festival, for example, takes place each January, when the city empties this section of the river to clean it out. That’s when the Mud King and Mud Queen are crowned.
    No visit to Texas would be complete without seeing a rodeo --- another aspect of this part of the country that is completely foreign to someone from New England. The announcer walks on stage and gets the crowd excited with talk about the courageous cowboys who’ll be performing. While he’s talking, a band plays sad songs about love gone wrong.
    Suddenly the announcer calls for silence. He takes off his tall hat and asks us to join him in prayer. We pray for the cowboys who are, we are told, risking their lives to entertain us, as well as for the bulls and other animals taking part in the shows. We pray for the tourists who are visiting. The rodeo gets going and the fun begins.
    Our prayers for the cowboys and animals are answered, and nobody gets hurt. But as we walk over to the cowboy dance hall after the show to enjoy a Texas-size barbecue, it’s clear that not enough prayers were said for the bulls’ less athletic relatives --- the ones not chosen for rodeo work. They’ll be our meal. It seems that moving too slowly has its disadvantages, too.
    46.What do you know about the River Walk from the article?
    A. People hold parties to celebrate festivals here every day.
    B. It refers to the sidewalks on either side of this section of the San Antonio River.
    C. There are many bridges that connect the River Walk and the Main Street.
    D. Stairs link the River Walk to cafes, bars and shops in the street.
    47. Which of the following statements about Mud festival is NOT true?
    A. Mud Festival dates back to the first half of 20th century.
    B. Mud Festival is held in January every year.
    C. Mud King and Mud Queen are chosen in the festival
    D. Mud Festival is celebrated to clear the mud of the San Antonio River.
    48. What does the underlined word “rodeo” refer to?
    A. One aspect of the American country life. B. The concert given by a band.
    C. The cowboys’ performance. D. The grand Texas-size barbecue.
    49. Why do some bulls become the visitors’ meal?
    A. Because they do not run as fast as those taking part in the shows.
    B. Because the visitors do not pray enough for them before the shows.
    C. Because they lose the competition to their relatives in the shows.
    D. Because they are only beef cattle intended as people’s food.
    50. Which of the following words can NOT be used to describe the writer’s mood?
    A. light-hearted       B. excited          C. anxious        D. humorous

    A  teenage girl is fighting for her life today after being struck by lightning as severe thunderstorms swept across Britain. The girl was one of four teenage girls from London who were hit by lightning in the Parade Ground area of Hyde Park during a storm.  Earlier, Joseph Wharton, 14, died as he was struck by lightning while camping in his friend’s backyard in the West Midlands.
    A spokesman for Scotland Yard said the girl remained in serious condition at St. Mary’s Hospital in Paddington. She had stooped breathing by the time the first paramedic arrived on the scene just two minutes after the strike at 5:40 p.m. yesterday.
    The other three girls hit by the bolt all had injuries, and were taken to University College Hospital. Their conditions were not serious, the spokesman added. The strike lifted the girls into the air and then dropped them to the ground, a witness reported.
    A spokesman for the London Ambulance Service said paramedics risked their lives to treat the girls. “The storm was still overhead and lightning was still coming down while they were treating the patients,” he said. “All staff involved acted very professionally in providing fast treatment to these patients in very difficult circumstances.” Scotland Yard said the incident was being looked into by officers from the Royal Parks’Operational Command Unit.
    Joseph Wharton of Byland Way, Bloxwich, was hit during the extended thunderstorm which struck the region yesterday morning. He was pronounced dead at Walsall Manor Hospital.
    He had been sleeping in a tent while staying with school friend Michael Lees at a house on nearby Cresswell Crescent.                            
    West Midlands Ambulance Service said paramedics were called at 7:50 a.m. and unsuccessful attempts were made to revive the sports-mad teenager. A spokesman for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents said four or five people die each year as a result of lightning strikes in the UK.

    A  were killed by the lightning             B  were seriously injured

    A man living absolutely alone in a desert or forest is free from other people; but he is not absolutely free. His freedom is limited in several ways. Firstly, by the things around him, such as wild animals or cliffs. Secondly, by his own needs: he must have sleep, water, food and shelter from extreme heat or cold. Lastly, by his own nature as a man: disease may attack him, and death will certainly come to him sooner or later.
    On the other hand, when men become organized into very large groups and civilization develops, it is possible to get freedom from hunger, thirst, cold, heat, and many diseases, so that each person can live a happier life than he could if he were living alone; but such a society can not work successfully unless the freedom of each human being is to some extent limited so that he is kept from hurting others. I am not free to kill others, nor to steal someone else’s property , nor to act in a way that does wrong against the moral sense of the society in which we live. I have to limit my own freedom myself so that others will not limit it too much: I agree to respect the rights of others, and in return they agree to respect mine.
    The advantages of such an agreement are great: one can become a doctor knowing that others will grow food, make clothes and build a house for him, in return for the work he does to keep them healthy. If each man had to grow his own food, make his own clothes, build his own house and learn to be his own doctor, he would find it impossible to do any one of these jobs really well. By working together, we make it possible for society to provide us all with food , clothes, shelter and medical care, while leaving each of us with as much freedom as it can.
    64. A man living alone in a desert or forest       .
    A. is absolutely free              B. feels happy
    C . has limited freedom               D. enjoys no freedom
    65. According to the writer, he limits his freedom because       .
    A. hunger, thirst and disease limit him             B. others won’t limit theirs
    C . the moral sense of the society limits him       D. others will respect his
    66. The author suggests that when men live together         .
    A. they have a safer and easier life             B. they are not free at all
    C . they must build shelters for others          D. they can get more protection
    67.This text is written mainly to show that        .
    A. one can have all his freedom by living on his own
    B. one has limited freedom just because of his own nature
    C . one must fight for his freedom if he’s free from other people
    D. one will have much freedom by working together with others

    A newspaper, published usually on a daily or weekly basis, has the main function of reporting news. Many newspapers also furnish their readers with other pieces of useful information, such as weather reports, TV program broadcast, and other kinds of information. They provide commentary on politics, economics, arts and culture. In nearly all cases and in different degrees, newspapers depend on commercial advertising for their income.
    A survey said that nearly six out of ten adults in the United States and Canada read a newspaper every day, and seven out of ten read a paper each weekend. By the time they see a newspaper, most people have already heard about breaking news stories on TV or on the radio. Readers depend on newspapers to provide detailed information and analysis (分析) which TV and radio almost don’t offer. Newspapers not only tell readers that an event has happened but also help readers understand what led to the event and how it will affect the world.
    The members of a large newspaper work under the nonstop pressure of deadlines to bring news to readers as quickly as their minds, bodies and the technology they use permit. Reporters, photographers, artists, and editors find the materials and form articles and graphics (图片) —sometimes in just a few hours. Page designers combine articles, photos, advertisements, and eye-catching headlines into page layouts (版面), then quickly print the paper out. Printing system may work through the night to print out more than 60,000 copies per hour.
    68. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?
    A. How many people read newspapers.         B. Why many people read newspapers.
    C. How a newspaper comes into being.        D. How newspapers affect us.
    69. The underlined word in Paragraph 1 means “______”.
    A. offer        B. review            C. found     D. produce
    70. What can we learn from the passage?
    A. All the income of a newspaper comes from ads.
    B. Canadians depend on newspapers more than Americans.
    C. The staff of a newspaper must meet deadlines from time to time.
    D. Only by reading the newspaper can readers get the latest news.
    71. According to the passage, what affects the pace of a newspaper’s publication?
    A. The editors.                                    B. The printers.    
    C. Its human resources and technology.        D. The reporters.

    Watching some children trying to catch butterflies one hot August afternoon, I was reminded of an incident in my own childhooD．When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.
    We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening at dusk the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing. There isn’t a musical instrument made by man that can produce a more beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird.
    I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician.
    I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, in its fright at being captured, the bird fluttered about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.
    I had left the cage out on our back porch, and on the second day of the bird’s captivity my new pet’s mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby.
    The following morning when I went to see how my captive was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened! I had taken excellent care of my little bird, or so I thought.
    Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison berries. She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in captivity.”
    Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.
    64．Why did the writer catch a mockingbird when he was a boy of 12?
    A．He had just got a new cage.         B．He liked its beautiful feather.
    C．He wanted it to sing for him.         D．He wanted a pet for a companion.
    65．The mockingbird died because it ______.
    A．was frightened to death          B．ate the poisonous food its mother gave it
    C．refused to eat anything            D．drank the poisonous water by mistake
    66．An ornithologist probably means ______.
    A．a religious person                 B．a kind person
    C．a schoolmaster                   D．a expert in birds
    67．What is the most important lesson the writer learned from the incident?
    A．Freedom is very valuable to all creatures.
    B．All birds put in a cage won’t live long.
    C．You should keep the birds from their mother.
    D．Be careful about food you give to baby birds.
