    B
    About forty years ago, I was an instructor in the military academy at Woolwich, when young Scoresby was given his first examination. Everybody answered the questions well, intelligently, while he—why, dear me—he did not know anything, so to speak. It was painful to see him stand there and give answers that were miracles(奇迹) of stupidity.
    I took him aside and found he knew a little about Julius Ceasar’s history. So, I worked him like a slave on a few questions about Ceasar. If you will believe me, when examined again, he was asked no questions but those I made him study. Such an accident does not happen more than once in a hundred years. Well, all through his studies, I stood by him, with the feeling a mother has for a disabled child. And he always saved himself by some miracle.
    Then, the Crimean War broke out. Nervously, I waited for the worst to happen. It did. He was appointed an officer. Who could have dreamed that they would place such a responsibility on such weak shoulders as his! I said to myself that I was responsible to the country for this. I must go with him and protect the nation against him as far as I could. So, I joined up with him.
    And there, oh dear, he never did anything but mistakes. But, everybody misunderstood his stupid mistakes as works of great intelligence. The battle grew hotter. The English soldiers were steadily withdrawing all over the field. An order came for him to fall back and support our right. Instead, he moved forward and went over the hill to the left. We were over the hill before this crazy movement could be discovered and stopped. And what did we find? A large and unsuspected Russian army waiting! But those surprised Russians thought that no single team by itself would come around there at such a time. It must be the whole British army. They turned tail, away they went over the hill and down into the field in wild disorder, and we after them. In no time, there was the greatest turn around you ever saw.
    Until now, nobody knew it but Scoresby and myself. He has filled his whole military life with mistakes, every one of which brought him another honorary title. They are proof that the best thing that can happen to a man is to be born lucky.
    46. How was Scoresby doing academically?
    A. His answers to the questions were miracles.
    B. He was good at military history.
    C. He received help because of his disability.
    D. He did rather poorly in his study.
    47. “I” join up with Scoresby in the Crimean War because “I” ________.
    A. wanted to see the worst happen
    B. had no confidence in him
    C. liked to fight against Scoresby
    D. wanted to protect my student
    48. Why did the Russian army flee?
    A. Because Scoresby mistook his left hand for his right hand.
    B. Because Scoresby failed to recognize the direction.
    C. Because they thought the whole British army were coming.
    D. Because they wanted to go down into the field.
    49. What is the secret of Scoresby’s military “success”?
    A. Good luck.           B. Hard work.        C. Help from others       .      D. Mistakes.
    50. The tone(语调) of the passage is _____________.
    A. Relaxing           B. Encouraging   C. Sarcastic(讽刺的)         D. Humorous

    46.D          47. B      48. C      49. A      50. C

    第四部分任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）
    请认真阅读下列短文, 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。请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。
    The Internet is making the world smaller and changing every aspect of our lives. The impact of this, in my opinion, will be strongly felt in the field of education. There are three reasons for this.
    First, the Internet provides equal opportunities for all students, as long as they can get access to it. In the traditional form of education, students who get higher marks in examinations may enter a good school, and those who do not, have to enter a relatively less good one. With the Internet, every student is provided with access to the same educational materials, so they have equal opportunities to improve themselves. In that case, the general quality of education will be highly improved in our country.
    Second, the Internet presents a challenge to teachers. Traditionally, teachers have controlled education. With the Internet, a student may choose any teacher’s instruction as he wishes. Faced with this, a teacher is likely to try his best to improve his instruction to be attactive and this will in turn improve the educational quality of our country.
    Last but not least, the Internet makes education more convenient for students. A student can learn at any time he likes and, at the same time, he can save the money spent on tuition and board. All of these may lead to a revolution in education.
    It is true that the Internet may still remain out of the reach of some people and maybe less amicable (友好的) than human teachers. But the point is that the Internet is sure to accelerate the development of education in our country.
    Theme
    		The Internet is strongly affecting 71. _________.
     
    72. _________ for this
    		1) All students are 73. _________ with equal opportunities by the Internet, as long as they can have 74. _________ to the Internet.
    		In this way, our country’s education will
    be of high 78. _________.
    2) With the Internet, education becomes a little bit 75. _________ to teachers. Teachers have to try to improve their instruction to 76. _________ more students to his classes.
    3) The Internet brings 77. _________ to the students and helps them save some money.
    Conclusion
    		Though the Internet is 79. _________ the reach of every person and it is not so amicable, it will make education  80. _________ faster.

    My mother seemed to be able to make dolls (洋娃娃) out of anything. She made some dolls for me and my two elder sisters. I 36 playing with them, but still, secretly, I hoped for a store-bought 37 like the one our rich cousin had. Her doll 38 open and close its blue glass eyes and even say "Mamma". I 39 stopped admiring it and hoping to have one.
    However, my dream 40 came true when I was six. One day my father came back from his business trip with three 41 dolls! They were much smaller than our cousin’s doll and their eyes were just painted ones, but I did not 42 such differences. They were 43 "store-bought" dolls. We each chose one and I named 44 Misako.
    Soon my sisters and I became 45. Our "children" kept us 46 all day. We gave them a bath, 47 them, brushed their hair, took them out for a walk and put them to bed. Several months later, they got more like real children — their 48 and bodies became dirtier; their dresses got stained; their hair less smooth.
    But, by then, 49 interests seemed to have moved into 50 toys. Their dolls were abandoned (被抛弃) and in bad condition. One had 51 one of her arms, and 52 was one-legged. "You can 53 them if you want," my sisters said to me. Thus, I had 54_ dolls. They were more or less handicapped (残疾) and they often looked at me as if they needed me to 55 them. I enjoyed this feeling of being needed — being the only one in the world who could protect them with a lot of love. Indeed, they made the rest of my childhood days very happy.

    “How’s the basketball coming on?”
    I put down my drink and looked across at the next table. I was curious about that because both the man and the woman were at least 65.
    “Oh, I’m not playing much basketball these days,” the woman replied. “But I’m getting much better at golf.”
    What’s this, I thought. I opened my packet of crisps, thoughtfully. “I’m still pretty hopeless at chess, I’m afraid,” the man said. “It beat me on level one this morning.”
    The penny dropped. These two were the proud owners of computer games.
    It’s very likely that one of the results of the development of the silicon chip(硅片) will be that a lot of people will have more exciting ways to spend their leisure time. It already has. Space invader machines are now a familiar sight everywhere. A lot of people play them, and some, particularly school children, get remarkably high scores. How, one wonders, do they find the time (and money) to become so good?
    If you have your own computers, the possibilities are endless. You can play any active sports without stepping out of your living room.
    You can become an expert at chess or backgammon without ever playing with another human being. Indeed, human beings aren’t needed at all.
    So, what of the future? Will we see school children stealing or even robbing to feed space invader machines? Will football grounds lie empty as families sit at home playing video football, or watching the national video football championship? Perhaps, it won’t go that far. But we won’t have to wait long for the Video Olympics. I’m sure of that.
    Back in the pub, I stood up, took out 20 pence, and went over to the space invader machine. I may not be much good at beating computers at backgammon, but any space invaders who arrive on Earth anywhere near me had better watch out.
    72. The reason why the writer felt curious about the talk between the couple was that ____.
    A. he thought they were too old to play basketball
    B. they looked young for their age
    C. the old seldom went to the bar
    D. he didn’t believe they played basketball so well
    73. The underlined sentence “The penny dropped.” in the fifth paragraph probably means ____.
    A. his wallet was stolen
    B. he dropped a penny into the space invader machine
    C. he asked for another drink for a penny
    D. he’s come to see what they meant
    74. The text is mainly written to tell us that ____.
    A. computers will make people have a better time in their leisure time
    B. the writer was worried about the side effect of computers
    C. the old couple were excellent at playing golf
    D. school children shouldn’t play space invader machines so much
    75. We can infer form the passage that ____.
    A. we can do everything without leaving our home in the future
    B. the writer was good at playing the space invader game
    C. school children will certainly steal or rob to feed the space invader machines
    D. the woman is better at playing chess than the man

    B
    When it comes to romance（浪漫）, women prefer someone who is humorous while men choose those who catch their eye, according to an international survey.
    The survey, done in 16 countries by Canadian romance publisher Harlequin Enterprises, asked men and women on six continents about personality they liked or disliked and how they went about trying to meet Mr. or Ms Right.
    The survey showed differences between countries in the way people tried to impress the opposite sex.
    Australians and British men frequently admitted drinking too much, while about half of German and Italian men said they had lied about their finances. Spaniards(people in Spain) were the most likely to use sex to catch someone’s attention.
    Eighty percent of Brazilian and Mexican men said they had lied about their marriage or romance as did 70 percent of German women, the survey said.
    When it came to meeting that special someone, a majority of respondents(被告) preferred to rely on friends for introductions. The Internet was not a popular hunting ground except in Portugal, where about half the surveyed men and women would like to find people online.
    There was a gap between the two sexes in Spain and France. Thirty percent of Spanish men, but no Spanish women, looked for love online. In France, 40 percent of men but only 10 percent of women attended parties, bars and clubs to meet someone, but they did have one thing in common: both sexes regarded looks as more important than their counterparts（相对应的人） in other countries.
    When it came to that first meeting, a majority of men surveyed said beauty was more important than brains, while women put a sense of humor at the top of their list.
    Physical attraction was the most important for men in France, Brazil, Greece, Japan and Britain. And while 40 percent of Portuguese men regarded intelligence over looks in a first meeting, no Australian men did so.
    In the United States and Canada, humor was considered the most important personality by men and women, getting 63 and 73 percent of the vote respectively.
    55. Appearance is the most important for men in the following countries except in ___________.
    A. Britain               B. Japan         C. France           D. Spain
    56. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
    A. Portuguese enjoy looking for love online best.
    B. Humor is considered the most important personality by both Americans and Australians.
    C. Brazilian and Mexican men like to lie about their finances.
    D. Few people preferred to rely on friends for introductions.
    57. Which is NOT mentioned as the standard of looking for love in the passage?
    A. Humor.      B. Generosity.        C. Beauty.         D. Intelligence.
    58. The purpose of the writer is to tell us _________________ when choosing the opposite sex.
    A. the differences between men and women in different counties
    B. women prefers humor while men prefers beauty
    C. not all men prefer beauty to brains
    D. love is more important than anything else
