    第一节任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
    认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
    注意：每个空格只填1个单词。I used to be the messiest person alive. Over the years, through watching others and by trial and error, I have finally found ways to come up with plans, organize them and follow through with them.
    Make an outline of everything you need to have and do to make your plan happen. Make a list of all of the steps that need to be accomplished and think about what needs to be done.
    Detail everything thoroughly and read over it so you can start coming up with some mental solutions of how to carry out your plans.
    You should ensure that if for some reason way one doesn’t work, you have way two and way three to lean back on. Therefore, different ways are needed at hand. It’s just a matter of being organized. Chances are that there is always more than one way of doing things, and chances are that if one of those ways doesn’t work, one of the other ones will.
    Committing yourself to finishing at least part if not all of your plan at once is also necessary. It will show that you not only have initiative to get things rolling, but that you are interested in the results obtained with making the move to get everything done.
    If you make a commitment to finish before a specific time, make sure that you carry that out, and be sure to do everything in the way you said you would, within the time-frame you set for yourself.
    Don’t try to tackle more things all at a time. All that does is delay your progress, distract you and make you lose your interest, motivation and energy.
    Carrying out an effective plan requires being as organized as possible. You will only achieve this by sticking to the order of the plan and not deviating or trying to do more at a time.
    Last but not least, you should never abandon things mid-project. It will only annoy everyone around you including yourself. Unfinished plans are a waste of time, energy and, in some cases, even money. 
    So, don’t be afraid of organization. The older we get, the more necessary it becomes to have the skills necessary to follow through with confidence and to be able to carry through plans in an organized and manageable way. It pays to be organized, after all.
    Title: Tips on how to be (71)_______ in your life

    四．任务型阅读：
    认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
    About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table, I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked,“So, how have you been?”And the boy—who could not have been more than seven or eight years old—replied. “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”
    This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.
    The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
    Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?
    Human development is based not only on natural biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new situation. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
    In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation(揭示)machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information, and indiscriminately(不加区分地), to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.
    Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
    Title: Change in Today’s Children
    Main comparisons
    		Contexts
    Different(1)_____
    		Children in the past just did what they were(2)_____to.
    Children today(3)____as if they were adults.

    		Children in the past never experienced(5)___.
    Sometimes sadness(6)_____to children nowadays.
    Different(7)_____to get knowledge
    		Children in the past: in a (8)____and guided process.
    Children nowadays: by(9)_____TV without control.
    A phenomenon worth noting
    The author’s(10)_____to children’s change
    		He prefers communication through print for children, which can control what children are to learn.

    第五部分：任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)
    认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
    注意：每个空格只填1个单词。
    How should one invest a sum of money in these days of inflation(通货膨胀)? Left in a bank it will hardly keep its value, however high the interest rate. Only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the Stock Market. Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings, and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past. Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques.
    I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life. "The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound. It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands. Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round people's wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control. This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves."
    Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time. Certain men were very clever at measuring the time of day according to the beating of their own hearts. They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout the time. So it seems that the first clocks were human beings.
    However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable ways of telling the time. They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun. They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour-glasses, and invented water-clocks. Indeed, any serious student of antique should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past.
    Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home. After all, if you are going to be ruled by time, why not invest in an antique clock and perhaps make a future profit?

    The findings of a new survey have American professors talking about the good old days—when A's were a lot tougher to earn．
    Sites like RateMyProfessors．com make it easy for students to find a class taught by a professor who is known as an "easy grader"．A recent survey by Kaplan Test Prep found that 46 percent of the more than 1,200 students polled admitted to using the site for just such a purpose．
    "Our research shows that many of today's college students are looking at multiple factors when picking out courses: overall teacher quality that will result in a good learning experience, but also instructors who don't like to award a lot of C's and D's," said Jeff Olson, vice president of research at Kaplan Test Prep．
    "While it makes sense that students would choose kinder graders, it also helps explain the recent popularity of grade inflation（膨胀）．"
    Grade inflation is seen by many professors as poisoning the learning environment．Some, like former Duke University professor Stuart Rojstaczer, are righting it head-on．
    On his website, Gradelnflation．com, he releases an annual list of schools where grade inflation is the worst．
    This year, he decided to name the schools where grades were inflated the least．He praised, for example, Princeton University, as well as Purdue University, where the average GPA has remained around 2．8 for over 30 years．
    "Purdue doesn't even seem to know that grade inflation exists in the US," Rojstaczer says．"Ignorance is bliss（极大的幸福）．"
    68．From the passage we may know that Kaplan Test Prep is most probably _____
    A．an institute             B．a professor

    Michael Jackson, the American pop legend, died of a cardiac arrest(心脏骤停) in a Los Angeles hospital last night, just weeks before he hoped to resurrect(复活) his four-decade long career with a series of sold-out shows in London. The pop superstar was taken to the University of California at Los Angeles medical centre last night, and doctors tried resuscitation（使苏醒，使复活） in the ambulance. He did not regain consciousness and was reported dead about three hours later.
    "My brother, the legendary King of Pop, passed away on Thursday 25 June at 2.26pm," his brother Jermaine said, "We believe he suffered a cardiac arrest at his home, however the cause of his death is unknown until the results of the autopsy(验尸) are known. The personal physician who was with him at the time attempted to resuscitated him."
    A spokesman for the UCLA medical centre said, "When he arrived at hospital at approximately 1.14pm, a team of doctors attempted to resuscitate him for a period of more than one hour, they were unsuccessful." Police said they were investigating, which is standard procedure in such cases.
    Jackson's death brought a tragic end to a long decline from his peak in the 1980s when he was music's greatest all-around performer, a uniter of black and white music who shattered the race barrier on MTV. His 1982 album Thriller, which included the blockbuster hits Beat It, Billie Jean and Thriller is still the best-selling album of all time, with an estimated 50m copies sold worldwide.
    The world famous entertainer had planned a series of 50 concerts in London from 12 July. Although in the last two decades his reputation was destroyed by charges of child molestation(骚扰) and his fantastic public behavior, all tickets were sold within hours, proving the King of Pop had enduring appeal.
    49.   Where did Michael Jackson die?
    A. At home in Los Angeles.                 B. In a Los Angeles hospital.
    C. On the stage in London.                  D. In an ambulance to hospital.
    50. What caused Michael Jackson to die according to Jermaine?
    A. Heart disease.                        B. It’s unknown before the results of the autopsy.
    C. Working too hard.                         D. His personal physician’s improper treatment.
    51. Why were the police involved in investigating the death of Michael Jackson?
    A. Because they believed he was murdered.
    B. Because it was standard procedure in such cases.
    C. Because Michael Jackson died suddenly.
    D. Because his brother was suspicious of the truth of his death.
    52. It can be inferred that Michael Jackson was ___________.
    A. a King of Pop with good reputation.
    B. a King of Pop still playing on the stage before death.
    C. indeed a bad man with fantastic public behavior.
    D. a popular King of Pop in spite of ill fame.

    第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
    It seems that beauty and women are twins. You are joking? No, I’m not. Observe for yourself. Ads on fashion flood TV screens, radio programs, magazines, newspapers, and the streets. Whether they have realized or not, women are besieged by a sea of fashion. They are taught to think that without beautiful clothes they will grow old and lose their charm. So who dares to neglet dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth?
    But I do not agree with the opinion that women have to show their minds through their looks. The richness of their mind proves to be more beautiful and attractive than their looks. A woman who has experienced many troubles and may be called “aunt” or “granny” can still maintain her beauty if she has such excellent qualities as knowledge, ability, a kind heart, great courage, concern for others, etc.
    In addition, old and young, beautiful and ugly are relative concepts. People who keep a young mind will never feel old. Curious about new things and eager to learn more, they keep up with the tide. Painly dressed women may have a type of beauty, which is pure and real.
    Reading and learning are the best way to keep one youthful. Good books are fertile soil which can feed the flower of one’s heart and looks.
    56.The underlined word “besieged” may mean _______.
    A. belonged to        B. beside         C. drew          D. surrounded with
    57. “So who dares to neglet dressing up at the cost of their appearance and youth?” means_______.
    A. no one dares to notice that dressing up needs money
    B. no one dares to fail to care for her appearance and youth with dressing up
    C. everyone dares to notice that dressing up needs money
    D. everyone dares to fail to care for her appearance and youth with dressing up
    58. What’s the writer’s attitude of this passage?
    A. He thinks that richness is beautiful.
    B. It’s impossible to be old if you keep a young mind.
    C. The richness of the mind is really beautiful.
    D. An old lady can keep her beauty if she has knowledge.

    English is fast becoming the language of science around the world, but what is its future among everyday speakers? One expert points out that the percentage(比率) of native English speakers is declining(降低) globally while the languages of other rapidly growing regions are being spoken by increasing numbers of people. But English will continue to remain widespread and important.
    However, British language scholar David Graddol says English will probably drop in dominance(主导) by the middle of this century to rank, after Chinese, about equally with Arabic, Hindi, and Urdu. “The number of people speaking English as a first language continues to rise, but it isn’t rising nearly as fast as the numbers of many other languages around the world, simply because the main population group has been largely in the less developed countries where languages other than English have been spoken,” he says.
    In a recent article in the journal Science, Mr. Graddol noted that three languages that are not near the top of the list of the most widely spoken now might be there soon. These are Bengali, Tamil, and Malay, spoken in south and Southeast Asia.
    David Crystal, the author of the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language, says about 1.5 billion of the world’s six billion people speak it as a second tongue compared to the 400 million native speakers. But another expert on the English language says Mr. Graddol underestimates (低估) the future of its dominance. “Nobody quite knows what’s going to happen because no language has been in this position before. But all the evidence (证据) suggests that the English language snowball is rolling down a hill and is getting faster,” he said.
    56. In David Graddol’s opinion, English will _______.
    A. remain widespread and important
    B. be more important than any other language
    C. lose its dominant position
    D. die away in the near future
    57. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that ______.
    A. snowballs will roll down faster than language balls
    B. the English language snowball is rolling down faster than any time in the past
    C. English language will soon drop in dominance
    D. more and more language users will choose English
    58. How many experts does the passage mention who express their ideas about the future of English?
    A. 2.          B. 3.         C. 4.           D. 5.
    59. What should be the best title for the passage?
    A. English Remaining the Dominant Position
    B. The Future of English? Who Knows?
    C. Opinions from Different Experts
    D. The English Language Snowball Rolling Down
