第三部分：閱讀理解

（A）

In ancient(古代)time the most important examinations were spoken, not written.In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome , testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study of the subject.This custom exists today as part of the work of testing candidates（候選人）for a master's or doctor's degree.Generally, however, modern examinations are written.Two types of tests are commonly used in modern schools.The first types sometimes called an objective(客觀性)test, it is intended to deal with facts., not personal opinions.To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer.Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have mot learned the material properly.The student has just one task: he must recognize the correct answer and copy its letter or number on his examination paper.For testing a student's memory of facts and details, the objective test has advantages.It can find out a great deal about the student's range of knowledge.For testing some kinds of learning, however, such a test is not very satisfactory.A lucky student may guess the correct answer without really knowing the material.36.The passage is mainly about ________.A.examinations in the ancient times.Ｂ．modern examinations.Ｃ．how to do well in an examination.Ｄ．setting questions for an examination

One answer to the question of land shortage was suggested by an organization some years ago.A city was to be built at sea, housing 30,000 people.The suggestion was to shape the city like a harbor(港口)。The outer wall of the harbor would stand on steel columns resting on the sea---bed.Naturally this could only be where the water was fairly shallow.The people would like to live in flats in the fifty----metre high outer wall.The flats would be all face inwards, and would be made of concrete(混泥土)and glass.The glass would be specially made and colored to control the heat and strong light from the sun.The planners called this man---made harbor would be calm.On it would be floating islands carrying more building: a hospital, two theaters, museum, an art exhibition hall and a church.On one of the islands would be a special factory to take the salt out of sea water and turn it into fresh water.People living in the city could move around on small boats driven by electricity, so there would be no air pollution from the burning of gas.There would be platforms outside the man wall for ships bringing supplies.People could also travel to the mainland by motorboat or water plane.43.What was suggested about the construction of a new city at sea?

Ａ．The city was to be designed together with a harbor.Ｂ．The walls around the city would be made of steel and glass.Ｃ．The building of the city would rest on a floating island.Ｄ．The people would live in tall building surrounded by a wall.44.How would fresh water be supplied to the city?

Ａ．By treating sea water.Ｂ．By getting it from the surrounding islands.Ｃ．By building a small lake of fresh water inside the city.Ｄ．By transporting it from the mainland.45.The suggestion made by the organization is to solve the problem that _______.Ａ．there is not enough space for building cites on land

Ｂ．land transportation has became increasingly difficult

Ｃ．there are too many people on land

Ｄ．present cities are heavily polluted by cars

46.the purpose of the writer is-_______.Ａ．to suggest how new type of harbor could be built at sea

Ｂ．to give a description of a new---type city.Ｃ．to draw people's attention to the problem of air pollution.Ｄ．to introduce a mew way of building harbor---cities.(D)

Taxes（稅）are a big part in the United States.Most Americans pay city taxes, state taxes, social security（安全）taxes, sales taxes ﹒﹒﹒,and the list seems endless.The biggest tax for most Americans is that on the money they earn---the income tax.The personal income tax is called a “progressive tax” because it takes more from those who earn more.For example, a person who earns about 3,500 dollars a tear will pay a tax of only about 3.5 % of earning, but of the same person earned 85, 000 dollars a year, he would pay an income tax of 35%.Over the years the income tax has become more and mote difficult for people to understand.Almost one half of all Americans now have to pay experts to prepare their tax reports in fact, preparing taxes and giving tax advice have become a big industry in America.47.Most Americans pay ________.Ａ．taxes which are too many to list.Ｂ．taxes either to the cities or the states they live in.Ｃ．so many kinds of taxes that they even don't know the names.Ｄ．several kinds of taxes.48.Social security tax is collected from _______.Ａ．those who have broken the law.Ｂ．those who often make trouble,Ｃ．those whose lives and property are in danger.Ｄ．Every citizen living in the area in question(所在).49.What is a “ progressive tax”? A “progressive tax” is the tax _______.Ａ．collected for social progress.Ｂ．that increases with each passing year.Ｃ．that is collected from those who earn most.Ｄ．that varies（變化）according to how much money a person earns.50.Why do almost one half of all Americans have to pay experts?

Ａ．Because the list of taxes seems endless.Ｂ． Because they would rather spend their time and energy elsewhere.Ｃ． Because they find their knowledge about taxes is so limited that they are unable to write tax

report all by themselves.Ｄ． Because paying experts to prepare their tax report and asking for tax advice have become

very popular.(E)

More than 6000 children were expelled(開除)from US school last year for bringing guns and bombs to school, the US Department of Education said on May 8.The department gave a report to the expulsions(開除)as saying handguns accounted for 58 percent of the 6093 expulsions in 1996---97, against 7 percent for rifles(步槍)or shotguns and 35 percent for other types of firearms.“The report is a clear sign that out nation's public schools are cracking down(嚴懲)on students who bring guns to school,” Education Secretary Richard Riley said in a statement.“ We need to be tough-minded about keeping guns out of our schools and do everything to keep our children safe.”

In March1997, an 11 years old boy and 13 years old boy using handguns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas.In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Mississippi school.Two months later, a 14 years old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Dasucah, Kentucky.Most of the expulsions, 56 percent, were from high school, which have students from about age 13.34 percent were from junior high schools and 9percent were from elementary schools, the report said.51.From the first paragraph we can infer that in the US schools _______.A.students enjoy shooting B.students are eager to be solider.C.safety is a problem D.students can make guns.52.The report from the US Department of Education of Education shows that ________.Ａ．the number of the expulsions is not large.Ｂ．the number of the expulsion is wrong.Ｃ．there are soldiers hiding among the students.Ｄ．guns are out of control in US schools.53.The main idea of paragraph four shows us ______.Ａ．some examples of shoot in US schools.Ｂ．the American's feeling.Ｃ．some famous schools.Ｄ．that some teachers were killed by students.54.How many students were shot dead in 1997 in US schools?

Copenhagen.His writings were first published in 1829.In 1833，he received grant money for travel，which he used to visit Germany，France，Switzerland，and Italy.These journeys were recorded in his travelogues（旅行見聞）。In 1835，Andersen published “Fairy Tales for Children，” which contained four short stories.He eventually wrote around 168 fairy tales.They achieved success in his life-time and were widely published and translated.Unhappiness also found its way into many of his tales which were not meant merely for children but for adults as well.He used very simple language and style to disguise the moral teachings of his tales.Andersen also wrote novels, plays and poems.He died at his home in Rolighed on August 4, 1875.Andersen died on April 4, 1875

6Oth Anniversary Ceremony in Moscow With thousands of soldiers and war veterans parading across Moscow's Red Square and fighter jets screaming overhead，Russia celebrated the 60th anniversary of defeating Nazi Germany.More than 50 world leaders，including China's President Hu Jintao，attended the ceremony.Speaking at the start of the parade，Russia's President Vladimir Putin praised all those who fought for freedom and independence.“The，war shows that resorting to force to solve problems will result in tragedy for the world，so a peaceful order should be safeguarded（護衛）based on security，justice and cultural exchange，” Putin said.“Faced with the real threat of terrorism today，we must remain faithful to the memory of our fathers.It is our duty to defend a world order based on security and justice and on a new culture of relations among nations that will not allow a repeat of any war，neither 'cold' nor 'hot'，” he continued.The Second World War is perhaps the most catastrophic（災難性的）event that mankind has ever suffered.The war affected 80 per cent of the world's people at that time，from 61 countries，and claimed 55 million lives.After the celebration，President Hu said that peace，development and cooperation were the future.“China will unswervingly（堅定地），follow the road of peace and development and will make a joint effort with all nations to contribute to safeguarding world peace and promoting development，” he said.German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder asked Russia for forgiveness for the suffering Germany inflicted（造成）during the Second World War in an article in Sunday's Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper.“Today we ask forgiveness for the suffering inflicted upon the Russian people and other peoples at the hands of Germans and in the name of Germans，” Schroeder said.President Hu and the other leaders also joined a wreath（花圈）laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers on Monday.Paragraph 2 Paragraph 3 Paragraph 4 Paragraph 5

下面有3篇短文后有5道題。請根據短文內容，為每題定1個最佳選項。

第一篇 Is the Tie a Necessity？

Ties, or neckties, have been a symbol of politeness and elegance in Britain for centuries.But the casual Prime Minister Tony Blair has problems with them.Reports suggest that even the civil servants may stop wearing ties.So, are the famously formal British really going to abandon the neckties? Maybe.Last week, the UK's Cabinet Secretary Andrew Turnbull openly welcomed a tieless era.He hinted that civil servants would soon be free of the costliest 12 inches of fabric that most men ever buy in their lives.In fact，Blair showed this attitude when he had his first guests to a cocktail party.Many of them were celebrities（知名人士）without ties，which would have been unimaginable even in the recent past.For some more conservative British, the tie is a must for proper appearance.Earlier, Labor leader Jim Callaghan said he would have died rather than have his children seen in public without a tie.For people like Callaghan, the tie was a sign of being complete, of showing respect.Men were supposed to wear a tie when going to church, to work in the office, to a party-almost every social occasion.But today, people have begun to accept a casual style even for formal occasions.The origin of the tie is tricky.It started as something called simply a “band”.The term could mean anything around a man's neck.It appeared in finer ways in the 1630s.Frenchmen showed a love of this particular fashion statement.Their neckwear（頸飾）impressed Charles II，the king of England who was exiled（流放）to France at that time.When he returned to England in 1660，he brought this new fashion item along with him.It wasn't, however, until the late 18th century that fancy young men introduced a more colorful, flowing piece of cloth that eventually became known as the tie.Then, clubs military institutions and schools began to use colored and patterned ties to indicate the wearer's membership in the late 19th century.After that, the tie became a necessary item of clothing for British gentlemen.But now, even gentlemen are getting tired of ties.Anyway, the day feels a bit easier when you wake up without having to decide which tie suits you and your mood.31 The tie symbolizes all of the following except A respect.B elegance.C democracy.D politeness.32 Why does Blair sometimes show up in a formal event without a tie? A Because he wants to make a show.B Because he wants to attract attention.C Because he wants to live in a casual way.D Because ties are costly.33 Which of the following is NOT a social occasion? A Going to church.B Going to work in the office.C Going to a party.D Staying at home.34 Who brought the Frenchmen's neckwear to Britain? A Charles II.B Tony Blair.C Jim Callaghan.D Andrew Turnbull.35 When did British gentlemen begin to wear ties regularly? A In the 1630s, B After the late 19thcentury.C In 1660.D In the late 18th century.第二篇 Why Not Eat Breakfast？

Breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day, it is also the most neglected or skipped.Common reasons for not eating breakfast include lack of time, not feeling hungry, traditional dislike for breakfast, and dieting.Breakfast simply means “break the fast.” Your body spends at least six to twelve hours each night in a fasting state.In the morning your body needs energy to rev up（轉動起來）into high gear for the day's work ahead.If you skip breakfast，you are likely to concentrate less effectively in the late morning，feel irritable，short-tempered（易怒的），tired，or weak.When you choose not to eat breakfast, your body stays in slow gear.Also, people

who skip breakfast often binge（無節制的大吃）later in the day at other meals or eat a high-calorie（高卡路里）snack in the morning.Breakfast eaters tend to eat less fat during the day，have more strength and endurance and better concentration and problem-solving ability.A good breakfast should provide up to 1/3 of your total calorie needs for the day.On the average, we eat 400 less calories for breakfast than for dinner.If breakfast doesn't appeal to you in the morning, try eating a lighter-dinner, earlier in the evening or save half your dinner for breakfast in the morning.If you still aren't hungry in the morning, start with something small like juice or toast or have a mid-morning snack later when you are hungry.Not eating breakfast can also cause you to overeat, since a fall in blood sugar often makes you feel very hungry later.To make matters worse, since your body is in a slowed state, it will not be able to burn those extra calories very efficiently.If you feed your body healthy snacks and meals throughout the day, you are less likely to become extremely hungry and stuff yourself as soon as you begin to eat.Since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day, choosing the right fuel is important.The best breakfast foods are fruits, juice, lean meat, and grain products such as breads, rice, noodles, and cereals.36 The word fast“ in the phrase ”break the fast“ in paragraph 2 means

A ”a series of quick actions“.B ”a habit of eating“.C ”a period of not eating“.D ”a strict rule“.37 Which of the following is NOT true of a person who does not have breakfast?

A He will be easily distracted.B He will tend to lose his temper.C He will feel weak.D He will become very talkative.38 You can improve your appetite for breakfast by

A not eating too much for dinner in the evening

B drinking a glass of milk before going to bed.C eating a big dinner in the evening.D having some juice and a toast for dinner.39 Which of the following is a healthy eating habit?

A Eating as little as possible.B Eating no breakfast.C Eating no lunch.D Eating three regular meals a day.40 Which food is NOT fit for breakfast?

A Rice.B Fat meat

C Bread.D Juice.第三篇

Who Came First，the Chicken or the Egg？

I just mailed the chicken and the egg, each in its own separate packaging, and kept careful track of when each shipment was sent from a post office in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and when it later arrived at its intended destination in New York City.In mailing the chicken, I was careful to adhere to the restrictions described in the American Postal Service's Domestic Mail Manual 57, as updated on April 3, 2003.This, the most recent, version of the Manual states that: ”Adult chickens must be sent by Express Mail.The containers used must pass the standards in International Safe Transit Association Test Procedure IA;be strong enough to endure normal handling;and ensure enough air for the chickens in transit.The number of birds must not be more than the container's limit.“ I mailed the chicken in a wooden box got from a colleague who does research with birds.Then, I mailed the egg in standard packaging obtained through an industrial supplier.It's quite simple.I posted both the chicken and the egg at 9:40 am, on a Monday morning, from the Harvard Square post office, in Cambridge, Massachusetts.The staff there told me that this was the first chicken anyone had mailed from there in recent memory, and perhaps ever.They handled both the chicken and the egg skillfully and politely.The intended destination for both packages was the James A.Farley General Post Office, which is located in Manhattan right next to the Penn Station train terminal.I took the subway from the Harvard Square to the Boston train station, and from there boarded a train to New York City, a distance of about 320 kilometers, arriving that afternoon at Penn Station.I immediately went to the post office, to await the arrivals of the chicken and the egg.The James A.Farley General Post Office is open 24 hours a day, so I was able to wait there until both items arrived.I inquired once per hour for both the chicken and the egg.That day, Monday, neither the chicken nor the egg arrived.The next day, Tuesday, neither the chicken nor the egg arrived.The chicken arrived at 10:31 am, Wednesday.The staff at the post office told me that this was the first chicken anyone had mailed to the post office in recent memory, and perhaps ever.The egg arrived that same day, at 9:37pm, 11 hours after the chicken.Based on experiment data, it's now quite clear that the chicken came first, the egg second.41 Which of the following is NOT required of a container?

A It should be ventilated.B It should be made of steel.C It should be sufficiently large.D It should be strong.42 Why did the author go to New York City?

A Because he had never been there before.B Because he wanted to show that he could arrive before both the chicken and the egg.C Because he had sent the chicken and the egg to himself.D Because he wanted to check which of the two items would arrive first.43 How did he go to New York City?

A By boat.B By bus.C By tube and rail.D By air.44 When did the chicken arrive?

A On Monday.B At 9：37 pm，Wednesday.C On Tuesday.D Eleven hours before the egg

What did he do all this for?

A To amuse the reader with an unlikely answer to the chicken-or-egg puzzle.B To know if animals like chickens could be posted.D To know if eggs would break on the way to their destination.D To show that he was highly intelligent.第5部分：補全短文（第46～50題，每題2分，共10分）

African-American talk show queen Oprah Winfrey is the world's most powerful celebrity，according to Forbes magazine.（46）

Winfrey, 51, draws 30 million viewers weekly in the United States.Her talk show reaches 112 countries.She earned US$225 million over the past 12 months to rank second in celebrity riches.The annual Forbes list gives most weight to annual earnings.（47）”After 21 years, her exciting chat show still rules the airwaves.It created new celebrities and hundreds of millions of dollars in profits,“ the magazine said.Winfrey is most popular with her popular talk show ”The Oprah Winfrey Show“.She can always attract the superstars and let them open up to her intimate interviewing style.Last month, American actor Tom Cruise, 42, surprised fans when he celebrated his new romance with 26-year-old actress Katie Holmes.He jumped up and down, shouting ”I'm in love.“ Only a few years ago, Cruise and his ex-wife Nicole Kidman appeared separately on the same show telling the news of their divorce.(48)

Winfrey's approach appears to be simple.She is in pursuit of self-improvement and self-empowerment（自強）。This has proved to be just what people，especially women，want.Winfrey often talks about her personal secrets on her show.That pulls in viewers.For example, she revealed that she had been sexually abused as a child, and has spoken freely of her struggle with her weight.Winfrey was born to a poor family in Mississippi in 1954

（49）At the age of 19，she became the youngest person and the first African-American woman to anchor（主持）a news programme.Her success has not just been on the screen.Her media group includes a women's TV network and websites for women.Winfrey's work has extended to social change.（50）

第四篇：全國英語等級考試

全國英語等級考試（PETS）介紹

全國英語等級考試（Public English Test System，以下簡稱PETS）是經中華人民共和國教育部批準，由教育部考試中心主辦的全國統一考試。北京市教育考試指導中心是北京地區的考試承辦機構，負責考試的組織實施。

全國英語等級考試是面向全社會、以全體公民（除義務教育階段學生外）為對象的非學歷性證書考試，主要測試應試者實際英語交際能力。在參加考試的資格方面，無職業、受教育程度的限制，原則上任何人都可報名參加。考生可以根據自己的英語水平選擇參加任何一個級別的考試。

根據教育部考試中心有關規定，自2007年9月起，全國英語等級考試不受理義務教育階段的學生報考，但在2007年上半年一級B考試中，取得筆試或口試單科合格者，可以報名參加2008年上半年一級B考試，僅限報考2007年3月份考試不合格或者沒有報考的筆試或口試單科。

PETS是教育部考試中心設計、開發和主辦的全國性英語水平考試體系。共5個級別：

PETS-1是初始級。通過該級考試的考生，其英語基本符合諸如出租車司機、賓館行李員、門衛、交通民警等工作，以及同層次其他工作在對外交往中的基本需要。（下設一個附屬級“1級B”）

PETS-2是中下級。通過該級考試的考生，其英語水平基本滿足進入高等院校繼續學習的要求，同時也基本符合諸如賓館前臺服務員、一般銀行職員、涉外企業一般員工，以及同層次其他工作在對外交往中的基本需要。

PETS-3是中間級。通過該級考試的考生，其英語已達到高等教育自學考試非英語專業本科畢業水平，或符合普通高校非英語專業本科畢業水平的要求，基本符合企事業單位行政秘書、經理助理、初級科技人員、外企職員的工作，以及同層次其他工作在對外交往中的基本需要。

PETS-4是中上級。通過該級考試的考生，其英語水平基本滿足攻讀高等院校碩士研究生非英語專業的需要，基本符合一般專業技術人員或研究人員、現代企業經理等工作對英語的基本要求。

PETS-5是最高級。通過該級考試的考生，其英語水平基本滿足在國外攻讀碩士研究生非英語專業或從事學術研究工作的需要。該水平的英語也能滿足他們在國內外從事專業和管理工作的基本需要（注：關于該級考試的詳細情況，請登陸教育部考試中心網站查詢）。

這5個級別的考試標準建立在同一能力量表上，相互之間既有明顯的區別又有內在的聯系。

PETS各級考試成績僅供考生個人和考生成績使用者參考，教育部考試中心負責解釋PETS各級考試的水平；考生成績的使用權在錄取部門或用人單位。

PETS考查的能力是建立在“交際語言行為模式”上。這種模式以語言交際需要為掌握外語的目的，將語言能力分為“接受”、“產出”、“互動”等，根據各種情景和任務，在特定主題和話語下，結合相關的語言行為進行教學或考查。這些能力與通常所說的“聽”、“說”、“讀”、“寫”等能力的關系是：

接受能力—讀和聽；

產出能力—寫和說；

互動能力—書面和口語的直接交流。

PETS重點考查交際能力，但并不完全排斥對語言知識（語法、詞匯等）的考查。所以，PETS考查的內容包括：聽力、語言知識、閱讀、寫作、口語。

1999年9月首次開考PETS-1至PETS-4以來，考生人數逐年增長。截至2005年11月，全國已有31個省級考試承辦機構（含中國人民解放軍總參系統）承辦PETS考試，累計考生人數已超過275萬(含1997、1998兩年的PETS-1B和1999年開始的PETS-5的考生人數)；累計獲證人數近100萬。

隨著PETS考試在全國的推開，一些全國性的機構開始對該考試產生了濃厚的興趣，準備在其系統內使用該項考試的成績。PETS考試一般安排在每年3月和9月的一個周末。筆試（含聽力）在周六上午進行，口試在周六下午、周日全天進行。具體考試時間，以教育部考試中心的文件為準。

PETS考試將筆試和口試分成兩個相對獨立的測試部分。筆試成績是聽力、英語知識運用、閱讀理解和寫作部分成績的總和，滿分100分，60分以上（含60分）為合格。口試滿分5分，3分以上（含3分）為合格。

每個級別的考試都包括筆試和口試兩種形式，先筆試后口試。筆試中包含讀寫、聽力測試內容；筆試題型分為客觀性試題和主觀性試題，考生解答客觀性試題時，需要在答題卡上進行填涂。口試采用面對面交談的方式，由兩名口試考官對兩名考生（一級B是一名考生）進行測試，其中一名口試考官不參與交談，專事評分，另一名考官主持口試，適時與考生交談、引導考生之間交談并評分。

各級別的考試時長不同：

一級B：筆試 90分鐘，口試時間上限為 3分鐘；

一 級：筆試 90分鐘，口試時間上限為8分鐘；

二 級：筆試120分鐘，口試時間上限為10分鐘；

三 級：筆試120分鐘，口試時間上限為10分鐘；

四 級：筆試140分鐘，口試時間上限為12分鐘。

各級別均可報考全項也可單獨報考筆試或口試，不允許同時報考不同級別（包括報名參加單項考試），同一級別不允許多次報名。單項合格成績可保留到同一級別相鄰的下一次考試。

PETS考試報名時間：

上半年報名時間大致安排在每年1月，開考級別為：一級B、一級、二級、三級；

下半年報名時間大致安排在每年7月，開考級別為：一級、二級、三級、四級。

具體報名時間可留意報刊刊登的《北京地區“全國英語等級考試”報考簡章》，或登陸北京教育考試服務在線：,進入“北京地區全國英語等級考試報名系統”查詢。

考試結束兩個半月后，考生可在網上登陸北京教育考試服務在線：，進入“北京地區全國英語等級考試報名系統”查詢成績，也可通過聲訊電話有償查詢成績，聲訊服務號碼為：96000960。

口試及筆試均合格者，可獲得由教育部考試中心統一頒發的《全國英語等級考試合格證書》。該證書用中、英兩種文字書寫，證書上印有持證人身份證號碼。

口試或筆試只有一項合格的，可獲得由教育部考試中心統一頒發的《全國英語等級考試筆試成績合格證》或《全國英語等級考試口試成績合格證》。

凡參加考試的考生都有“成績通知單”。

發放證書和“成績通知單”的時間大約在考試結束兩個半月左右，具體時間考生可通過網上報名系統查詢或與各考點聯系查詢。

考生的單項（筆試或口試）合格成績允許保留到相鄰的下一考次。一次考試或相鄰兩次考試中，筆試、口試都合格者，教育部考試中心將核發相應級別的《全國英語等級考試合格證書》。跨考次的成績將不予保留。

教育部考試中心制訂了PETS各級《考試大綱》，詳細介紹了PETS的設計背景、各級的級別標準、考試形式、結構和內容以及考試樣卷等，并附有聽力和口試錄音樣帶，是規范專家命題、考生應考和教師輔導的依據。同時為幫助考生學習和準備考試，教育部考試中心還組織編寫了《考試教程》等配套用書，由高等教育出版社出版。
