    第二节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Every year more people recognize that it is wrong to kill wildlife for “sport”. Progress in this direction is slow because shooting is not a sport for watching and only those few who take part in it realize the cruelty and destruction.
    The number of gunners, however, grows rapidly.  67 They are subjected to advertisements of gun producers who describe shooting as good for their health and carrying gun as a way of putting redder blood in the veins(血管).  68 In school they view motion pictures which are supposedly meant to teach them how to deal with arms safely but which are actually designed to stimulate a desire to own a gun.
    Wildlife is disappearing because of shooting and the loss of wildland habitat(栖息地). Habitat loss will continue with our increasing population, but can we slow the loss of wildlife caused by shooting? 69
           70  Although most people do not shoot, they seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know little or nothing about it. The only answer, then, is to bring the truth about sport shooting to the great majority of people.
    Now, it is time to realize that animals have the same right to live as we do and that there is nothing fair or right about a person with a gun shooting the harmless and beautiful creatures. The gunners like to describe what they do as character-building, but we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through the suffering of dying can make nobody happy.  71 
    A．There doesn’t seem to be any chance if the serious condition of our wildlife is not improved.
    B．They are persuaded by gunner magazines with stories honoring the chase and the kill.
    C．If, as they would have you believe, carrying guns and killing improve human character, then perhaps we should encourage war.
    D．Children who are too young to develop proper judgments through independent thought are led a long way away by their parents who have guns.
    E. The films children watch at school actually encourage them to have guns of their own.
    F. Wildlife belongs to everyone instead of the gunners alone.
    G. Most people do not seem to be against hunting because it helps to build human character.

    Culture means the pattern of human activity and the symbols that give importance to these activities. Culture expresses itself in terms of the art, literature, costumes, customs, language and religion. The word 'culture' comes from the Latin word which means “to teach”.
    Culture is shared, by which we mean that every culture is shared by a group of people. Depending on the areas they live in, the climatic conditions they grow up in and their history, people form a set of values and beliefs. This set of rules of life shapes their culture. No culture belongs to a single person. It is rather shared among many people of a certain part of the world.
    Culture is learned. Cultural values are imparted(传授) from one generation to another, thus leading to continual traditions that are a part of culture. The language, the literature and the art forms pass across generations. No single person is born with a sense of his/her culture. He/she has to learn it.
    Gradual change is a feature(特点) of almost every culture. Culture loses some of its features and gains new ones. With the passage of time, new technologies appear, new kinds of work come up, social thinking changes and so does culture. Every culture changes in time although the rate of change of every culture differs.
    Studies have brought out a fact that no culture can remain in isolation(孤立). There is hardly any social group that is completely isolated from the rest of the world. Every culture, thus, is mostly affected by cultures of the surrounding areas. Cultural values are easy to be influenced by the values of nearby societies. The cultures, which appear during the same periods of time, often show certain similarities. Modern times have witnessed a mix of cultures. Cultures are combined together giving rise to shared cultures.

    SYDNEY （AFP） Nick Bryant reports:
    “It gives me great pleasure to introduce the new caretaker of the islands of the Great Barrier Reef, from the United Kingdom, Ben Southall.”
    A global recruitment（招聘） drive with the trappings of a TV reality show made it truly a tourism marketing campaign．
    The best job in the world’s competition finally has a winner, Ben Southall, a 34-year-old charity worker from Britain．He beat 34,000 candidates from 200 countries in an online competition that became something of an Internet phenomenon．
    “To go away now as the island caretaker for Tourism Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef is an extreme honour．I hope I can fill the boots as much as everybody is expecting, my swimming hopefully is up to standard and I look forward to all of the new roles and responsibilities that the task involves.” [Ben Southall]
    For a disappointing Australian tourism industry currently in the doldrums, this has been an unexpected encouragement．Tourism Queensland deliberately chose the middle of winter of the northern Hemisphere to launch the campaign back in January, but didn’t expect anywhere near the global response．They think the only countries where people didn’t visit their website were North Korea and a few African nations．
    What’s said to be the best job in the world comes with a $110,000 （about 750,000 yuan） contract for six months’ work, a luxury beachside home and a plunge pool．
    In return, the island caretaker will be expected to stroll the white sands, enjoy the sun, diving and taking care of the reef, “maybe clean the pool”-- and report to a global audience via weekly blogs, photo diaries and video updates.
    For the losers meanwhile, there’s the worst of long journeys home.
    55．Which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A．The global recruitment mostly took place online． 
    B．Ben Southall got the job in January.
    C．The recruitment started in winter in Australia．  
    D．The organizers knew the activity would attract attention from all over the world.
    56．The caretaker of the islands is expected to be good at all the following EXCEPT ______.
    A．swimming          B．writing   C．photographing        D．acting
    57．It can be inferred from the report that ______.
    A．it’s the easiest job in the world   
    B．you need to surf the Internet regularly to know what Ben Southall is doing there
    C．the organizers of the activity knew North Koreans would never be interested in the job
    D．The journey home of the losers of the competition will be dangerous
    58．The underlined word “doldrums” probably means ______ .
    A．depression          B．development  C．recovery        D．promotion

    "Friendship is one of the basic bonds between human beings. While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them.
    　　Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other age group, need companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft. If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to express their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief。
    　　“No man is an island.” In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love, admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life.
    　　As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Outgoing persons enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas shy persons are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships。
    　　Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of closeness is determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in one’s life but they are usually very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close friends. Irrespective of the level of closeness, all friendships are based on reciprocity（互惠）, honesty and a certain amount of love and affection。
    72 “No man is an island”(Line 1, Para. 3) implies that ______________。
    　　A. everyone is a part of an island               B. man cannot be an island
    　　C. everyone is just a part of society     D. society is an island
    73. The degree of closeness of friendship mainly depends on_____________。
    　　A. age            B. belonging          C. personality               D. culture
    74. The author thinks that close friends_____________________。
    　　A. can be easily formed when one is young         B. cannot be long-lasting
    　　C. are not rare for everyone                               D. are rare for most people
    75 .The word “irrespective”(Last sentence, Para. 5) means______________________。
    A.not respecting             B. dishonoring              C. regardless.  D. considering

    When I was a child, I was shocked at the idea that my sisters could be my best friends. Now, I wouldn’t have it any other way. At the time, the idea of my tow sisters being my closest friends seemed strange to me. we fought all the time over toys, food, attention, what to watch on television-you name it, we quarreled about it at some point. How could my sisters be my best friends? They weren’t the same age as I. we all had our own friends in school.
    My mother never let the three of us forget that sisters are lifelong friends. Her wish like most parents’ was to give us something that she never had. Growing up as an only child, she longed for siblings. When she gave birth to three daughters, the fulfillment of her dream had only just begun. She had given each of us a gift and she wanted to make sure we did not take that gift for granted. She would frequently tell us how lucky we were. But there were others, more subtle ways that she encouraged us to grow closer. She never showed favoritism to one daughter over the other-skating, shopping, swimming-so we developed common interests. And when we were teenagers, Mom always punished us equally, giving us yet another bonding（结合的）experience.
    We didn’t always get along beautifully and fought just like any other siblings. But somewhere in between Mom’s lectures, the family vacations and the shared memories, we realized that our mother was right. Today I share things with my sisters that I do with no one else. My sister Cindy and I ran the New York City Marathon together, side by side, even holding hands when we crossed the finish lien. When my sister Karen got married, I was her maid of honor. Cindy and I traveled through Europe together and even shared an apartment for two years. The three of us trust each other with our greatest secrets.
    It was twenty-three years ago that my mother first asked me who my two best friends were. Today she doesn’t have to. She already knows.
    72. As a child, the author was shocked at her mother's idea because________
    A. her sisters seemed strange to her
    B. her sisters didn't like to be her friends
    C. none of the girls had their own friends
    D. she and her sisters shares little in common
    73. The underline word "siblings" in the second paragraph means________
    A. sisters     B. parents    C. daughters   D. friends
    74. How did the author's mother encourage her three daughters to grow closer?
    A. She punished her daughter differently.
    B. She showed equal love to her daughters.
    C. She encouraged her daughters to do sports.
    D. She often took her daughters to many places.
    75.The best title of the passage could be _________.
    A. The Greatest Gift          B. Mother's Love

    Dear Students,
    I am delighted to be your guest.
    I would like to tell you about myself. I have been a news reporter
    for the past fifteen years. I chose this job so I could travel the world, but the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons. The work is sometimes difficult. I have seen famines, wars, earthquakes, poverty and death. But I have also seen courage, hope and happiness.
    In India, I visited a city where there were many homeless children. Some were as young as four years old. They lived in the streets and survived by begging or stealing. But then a wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them. Within one year, she was looking after two hundred children. She clothed them, fed them, and taught them. She gave them hope.
    Another time, I was in Turkey after a terrible earthquake, in one place. I found an old lady whose house was in ruins, her son was missing and rescuer workers said there was no chance that he was still alive. But the old lady did not give up hope. For four days, she moved heavy stones one at a time by herself. She did not stop until she found her son. He was alive.
    Here in China, I met a young boy with a serious condition. He had undergone twenty operations and spent nearly his whole life in hospital. I thought he would be sad, but when I met him, his smile was so warm and welcoming.
    In life, we need role models that we can admire and learn from. When my life is difficult, I try to remember the courage and goodness of these three people.
    60. The underlined word “ famine ” in Paragraph 2 means __________.

    第三部分 阅读理解（共15小题，满分30分）
    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    Scientists have recently discovered that mothers tend to hold their baby on the left. Of 255 right-handed mothers, 83% held the baby on the left. And out of 32 left-handed women, 78% held the baby on the left. As a control, women were watched coming from supermarkets carrying baby-sized bags; the bags were held with no side preference.   Then, dental patients were given a large rubber ball to hold during treatment. The majority held the ball to their left side, even when it interfered with the dentist's activities. This suggested that in times of stress objects are held against the left side. 
    At that point something clearly contrary was observed. A large number of mothers who brought their premature babies to a clinic were seen to hold their babies against their right side.   
    So, 115 mothers who had been separated from their babies for 24 hours after birth were observed for holding response. The experimenters presented the baby directly to midline of the mother's body, and noted how she held the baby. 53% placed the baby on the left and 47% on the right. And it was also noted that the mothers of the group who had held their baby on the left had already had a baby from which they had not been separated after birth.
    Left-handed holding enables the baby to hear the heartbeat. In order to discover whether hearing the heart has a beneficial effect on the baby, the sound of a human hear-beat was played to102 babies in a New York nursery for 4 days. A control group of babies was not exposed to hear-beats. The babies in the heart-beat group gained more weight and cried far less than the babies in the control group.
    56. Scientists found that _____.  
    A. left-handed women tend to hold their babies on the right
    B. more right-handed women than left-handed women tend to hold their babies on the left
    C. only right-handed women tend to hold their babies on the correct side
    D. women who hold their babies on the left are nearly all right-handed
    57. What was "some clearly contrary"?  
    Mothers of premature babies held their babiesson the correct side.
    B. Mothers of premature babies took their babies to a clinic. 
    C. Mothers of premature babies were seen to hold their babies differently from other mothers.
    D. Mothers of premature babies showed no side preference.
    58. In one experiment, 102 babies spent four days _____.
    A. not exposed to heart-beats
    B. in a control group
    C. exposed to the sound of heart-beats
    D. in a New York heart-beat group  
    59. The experiments proved that _____.
    A. mothers have an instinct to hold their babies on the left immediately after birth
    B. mothers hold their babies on the left at times of stress 
    C. mothers of premature babies do not have the instinct to hold their babies on the left
    D. mothers find it more comfortable to carry their babies on the left because the heart is on that side
