Most young people enjoy some forms of
physical activity. It may be walking, bicycling or swimming, or in
winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some 36
—football, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion for 37 high and difficult
mountains are often 38 with astonishment. Why are men and
women willing to 39 cold and hardship, and to take risks
on high mountains? This astonishment is caused, 40 , by
the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to
41 men give their leisure. Mountaineering is a sport and
42 a game. There are no man-made rules, 43
there are for such games as golf and football. There are, 44
rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to 45
, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering
46 to many people. Those who climb mountains are 47
to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering and other more 48 sports,
we might think that one big difference is that 49 is not
“team game”. We should be mistaken 50 this. There are , it
is true, no “matches” between “team” of climbers but when climbers are
on a rock face 51 by a rope on which their lives may
depend, there is 52 teamwork.
The mountain climber knows that he may 53 fight forces
that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces
of 54. His sport requires high mental and physical
55 .
36. A part B sport C sorts D kind
37. A climbing B going C rising D enjoying
38. A dealt B considered C looked upon D treating
39. A catch B suffer C take D overcome
40. A probably B actual C really D strongly
41. A that B which C now D why
42. A but B also C not D is
43. A as B i.e C such as D possibly
44. A for example B then C perhaps D of course
45. A be have B ignore（忽视） C mean D list
46. A rich B attractive C painful D noticeable
47. A occasional B used C free D popular
48. A familiar B regular C similar D thirty
49. A sport B rule C astonishment D mountaineering
50. A by B from C in D against
51. A admitted B disappeared C tied D linked
52. A obviously B already C basically D certain
53. A would B due to C have to D be to
54. A mountain B nature C wind D snow
55. A limitation B goodness C division D qualities
第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Imagine
that the genome（基因组）is a book. The book consists of 23 chapters with
thousands of stories made up of paragraphs, words and letters on
different levels. There are one billion words in the book, which makes
it longer than 5,000 volumes the size of this book. Or as long as 800
Bibles. If I read the genome out to you at the rate of one word per
second for 8 hours a day, it would take me a country. If I wrote out the
human genome, one letter per millimeter, my text would be as long as the
River Danube. This is an enormous document, a huge volume, a cook book
of great length, and it all fits inside the extremely small nucleus（核）of
a tiny cell that fits easily upon the head of a pin.
The idea of the genome as a book is not, strictly speaking, even a
metaphor（比喻）. It is true to a great extent. A book is a piece of digital
information, written in one-directional form and defined by a code that
translates a small alphabet of signs into a large dictionary of meanings
through the order of their groupings. So is a genome. The only
complication is that all English books read from left to right, while
some parts of the genome read from left to right, and some from right to
left, though never both at the same time.
While English books are written in words of different lengths using 26
letters, genomes are written entirely in three-letter words, using only
four letters. And instead of being written on flat pages, they are
written on long chains of DNA molecules（分子）. The genome is a very clever
book because in the right conditions it can both photocopy itself and
read itself.
56. How
to human genomes read according to the passage?
A. Only
from left to right.
B. Only
from right to left.
C. From
both directions at the same time.
D. From
one direction at a time.
57. We
can learn from the passage that the human genome _____.
A. is
as long as the River Danube
B. can
be easily placed on the head of a pin
C. is
coded with an alphabet of four letters
D. is
smart enough to read and take photos of itself
58. It
can be concluded that the passage is mainly written for _____.
A.
specialists in the field
B.
general readers
C.
natural scientists
D.
readers with academic background
59. The
real purpose of the author’s comparison of the genome to a book is
_____.
A. to
focus on the differences between the two
B. to
lay emphasis on the similarities between the two
C. to
simplify the concept of the human genome
D. to
give an exact description of the human genome
B
E-mail
has brought the art of letter writing back to life, but some experts
think the resulting spread of bad English does more harm than good.
Email is a form of communication that is changing, for the worse, the
way we write and use language, say some communication researchers. It is
also changing the way we interact and build relationships. These are a
few of the recently recognized features（特征）of e-mail, say experts, that
should cause individuals and organizations to rethink the way they use
e-mail.
“E-mail has increased the spread of careless writing habits, ” says
Naomi Baron, a professor of linguistics at American University. She says
the poor spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure of
e-mails reflect a growing unconcern to the way we write.
Baron argues that we should not forgive and forget the poor writing
often shown in e-mails.
“The more we use e-mail and its tasteless writing the more it becomes
the normal way of writing. ” the professor says.
Others say that despite its poor prose（无聊的议论）, e-mail has finished
what several generations of English teachers couldn’t : It has made
writing fashionable again.
“E-mail is a critical（重要的）new communication technology, ” says
Lancashire, a university of Tornoto professor of English. “ it fills the
gap between spoken language and the formal methods of writing that
existed before e-mail. It is the purest form of written speech.”
Lancashire says e-mail has the mysterious ability to get people who
are usually scared（惊吓）by writing to get their thoughts flowing easily
onto a blank screen. He says this is because of e-mail’s close
similarity to speech. “ it’s like a circle of four or five people around
a campfire, ” he says.
Still, he accepts that this new-found freedom to express themselves
often gets people into trouble. “Almost every day I get e-mails that are
apologies of previous e-mails, ” he reports.
In the US, the number of e-mails sent in a day exceeds
the number of letters mailed in a year. But more people are recognizing
the content of a typical e-mail message that is not often exact.
60. From
what Baron, a professor of linguistics, says in the third paragraph we
can find that _____.
A.
careless people use more e-mail than careful people.
B.
E-mail requires people to change their native language.
C.
Professors in universities don’t need to use e-mail.
D.
People communicate in e-mail full of mistakes.
61. In
Lancashire’s opinion, e-mail is a wonderful technology for people
because ____.
A. it
can be used by everyone all over the world.
B. it
is the fastest way for people to communicate.
C.
people can express themselves in a free way.
D.
people can save a lot of paper to write on.
62. This
passage shows us that ____.
A.
people should stop using e-mail to communicate
B.
Americans only use e-mail to communicate
C.
experts hold different opinions about e-mail
D.
e-mail makes people lose interest in English
63. The
underlined word “exceed” in the passage means ____.
A. be
greater than
B. be
faster than
C. be
shorter than
D. be
smaller than
C
Moon
landing. The computer chip. Genetic engineering. The artificial heart.
The achievements of U. S. scientists are known and admired throughout
the world. But whether American highest position in research and
technology will continue into the 21st century is far from
certain. 32 years after the Russians sent up Sputnik setting off a hot
race to produce more and better U.S. physicists, the scientific pipeline
is drying up. The reason for this crisis（危机）: American science education
is in disorder.
In an Educational Testing Service study of five countries and four
Canadian provinces, American 13-year-olds graded last in maths and
nearly last in science.
How did America, birthplace of Thomas Edison and Wright brothers, come
to such a dangerous situation? One reason is lack of enough financial
support for science education. After Sputnik, funding（基金）for the
National Science Foundation, the leading U.S. founder of scientific
research, shot up from $18 million to $130 million. By 1982 financing
for NSF’s education had fallen rapidly to zero.
To be sure, changeable funding is only one reason why U.S. scientists
are becoming a scarce commodity（稀有商品）. The image of scientists is less
lustrous than it was in the ’50s and ’60s, when men and women
in lab coats were seen as national heroes. Today, the county’s brightest
desire is to be bankers and lawyers, not chemists and rocket designers.
64.
America is losing its highest position in research and technology
because ____.
A.
American students are flowing to Canada
B. the
scientific pipeline is drying up
C.
Thomas Edison and Wright brothers had died
D. the
lack of financial support and lower social position of scientists
65. From
the passage, we can know that the computer chip, genetic engineering are
____.
A.
examples of American scientific achievements
B.
names of modern technology
C. seen
everywhere throughout the world
D.
obtained by Russia
66. The
word “lustrous” in the last paragraph can be replaced by ____.
A.
important B. shining C. smart D. shocking
67. The
main idea of the passage is that _____.
A.
America’s leading position in scientific research is in danger
B.
America needs more funding in scientific research
C. The
National Science Foundation needs financial support
D.
American students are not fond of science
D
Imagine
a worker who never gets tired. This employee needs no lunch hours or
holidays. Working 24 hours a day is no problem. Best of all, he or she
is both accurate and efficient. There are few mistakes and tasks are
finished quickly.
Any manufacturer would want a worker like this in a factory. Many more
products could be made and sold if workers never stopped. That’s why
there are more and more robots at work today.
Robots do a wide variety of tasks. They weld, drill, and paint new
cars. They locate underwater pollution sites. Robots handle poisons.
Most of their work is too dangerous, difficult, or unpleasant for people
to do. By doing the dirty work, a robot is a worker’s helper, or aide.
Few robots look anything like people. They are machines. Like other
pieces of machinery, they come in different shapes and sizes. The way
they are built depends on the jobs they do. Most have a single arm that
can lift things. Most are built to handle tools.
Each robot has a computer inside it. The computer tells it what to do.
Skilled technicians enter directions into this computer. They are
trained for this job.
They years ahead may well be the era of robots. People are using them
more and more. Already robots have explored active volcanoes and the
ocean floor. Modern robots can maneuver in space. With
their skillful movements, they can service satellites that can not be
reached by humans. Some new uses will include harvesting crops and working
in open pit mines. Robots can help us to live better and learn more
about our world.
68. What
mentioned in this passage is really ____.
A. a
hard-working worker B. a day-dreamer
C. a
robot D. a manufacturer
69. Why
do we regard the years ahead as the era of robots? Because ____.
A. no
human beings will live on the Earth
B.
robots will dominate the Earth
C.
robots will do more and more jobs, which are very dangerous, difficult
or unpleasant for people
D.
human beings needn’t do anything which robots can do instead
70. The
word maneuver ( Para. 6 ) means ______.
A. to
keep still
B. to
walk carefully
C. to
move skillfully
D. to
do everything perfectly
71. The
best title for the passage is _____.
A. An
Unbelievable Story B. What a Machine!
C. What
a Worker! D. Robot—the Last Creature in the World
E
The science of physics today is as current as
the morning newspaper. Indeed, as a result of new advances in physics
and their rapid application to inventions designed to satisfy man’s
wants, the worlds itself has been changing rapidly. Space technology,
industrial technology, and the technology of the home, the farm, the
office, the bank, and the department store have all been revolutionized.
Clearly, every grown-up today would understand the world he lives in
much better if he knew something about physics. Whether it be
Congress（美国国会）voting huge sums of money for new warships, space
exploration, or atomic energy; the office staff learning to use a new
computer; Son Bobby wanting to know about going to the moon; or the
housewife learning to operate a new electric stove, physics seems to be
everywhere.
Teachers in thousands of schoolrooms in America are trying to
communicate some of the excitement and importance of these new
developments to their students. They know that some of their eager
students will someday be scientists and will themselves
then contribute（贡献）to the development of new knowledge or its
application to new things.
But in any case, they can be sure that if they bring a knowledge of
science (any science) to their students in meaningful and stimulating
ways, they have contributed much to helping each one live a more
meaningful life.
72. The
application of new advances in physics to inventions _____.
A. may
solve all the problems in teaching
B. can
help people understand the meaning of life
C. is
intended to meet people’s needs
D.
makes people understand the voting rules of the Congress
73.
According to the passage, many American teachers are making efforts to
do all of the following EXCEPT _____.
A.
stimulating their students’ curiosity in physics
B.
making their students understand the importance of physics
C.
giving their students the information of new advances in science
D.
creating excitement about physical education among their students
74. The
word “themselves” in the third paragraph refers to _____.
A. some
of the eager students
B. the
students in the classroom
C. the
teachers giving lessons
D. all
the scientists in physics
75. The
first two paragraphs of the passage mainly tell us about _____.
A. new
advances in physics
B. the
use of physics in our life
C. the
science of physics
D.
modern developments in science
