She always went there on Thursdays. It was a nice outing for an old woman who lived alone.At six o’clock she came home, let herself in and at once smelt cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke in her house? How? Had someone got in? She checked the back door and the windows. All were locked or fastened, as usual. There was no sign of forced entry.Over a cup of tea she wondered whether someone might have a key that fitted her front door—“a master key ”perhaps. So she stayed at home the following Thursday. Nothing happened. Was anyone watching her movements? On the Thursday after that she went out at her usual time, dressed as usual, but she didn’t go to the club. Instead she took a short cut home again, letting herself in through her garden and the back door. She settled down to wait.It was just after four o’clock when the front door bell rang. Mrs. Clarke was making a cup of tea at the time. The bell rang again, and then she heard her letter box being pushed open. With the kettle of boiling water in her hand, she moved quietly toward the front door. A long piece of wire appeared through the letter box, and then a hand. The wire turned and caught around the knob on the door lock. Mrs. Clarke raised the kettle and poured the water over the hand. There was a shout outside, and the skin seemed to drop off the fingers like a glove. The wire fell to the floor, the hand was pulled back, and Mrs. Clarke heard the sound of running feet.(C)56.Mrs. Clarke looked forward to Thursday because__________.A.she worked at a club on the dayB.she lived aloneC.she visited a club on ThursdaysD.a special visitor came on Thursday【解析】事实细节题。从第一段“She always went there on Thursdays. It was a nice outing for an old woman who lived alone.”可知她每周星期四光顾这个俱乐部。(A)57.If someone had made a forced entry,________.A.Mrs. Clarke would have found a broken door or windowB.he or she was still in the houseC.things would have been thrown aboutD.he or she would have needed a master key【解析】语意理解题。从第二段“All were locked or fastened, as usual. There was no sign of forced entry.”可知如果有人强行进入,门和窗户会被弄坏。(D)58.According to the passage, which of the following is right?A.She is about more than 50 years old.B.The next day after she found something unusual in her house, she stayed at home.C.The man who tried to enter her house wore a pair of gloves.D.Mrs. Clarke was in an attempt to trick the thief when she noticed something unusual.【解析】语意理解题。她怀疑有人有万能钥匙,怀疑被人跟踪。于是she went out at her usual time, dressed as usual。但她并没有去俱乐部而是抄近路回家了。她设圈套想让那人上当。她成功了。(D)59.The wire fell to the floor________.A.because Mrs. Clarke refused to open the doorB.when the man’s glove dropped offC.because it was too hot to holdD.because the man just wanted to get away【解析】推理判断题。从故事结局The wire fell to the floor, the hand was pulled back, and Mrs. Clarke heard the sound of running feet.可推断那人想逃跑。B The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play a significant role in the process of recovery from illness. As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries and into public places, some of the country’s most talented artists have been called in to transform older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2,500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have significant contemporary art in corridors, waiting areas and treatment rooms. These recent initiatives owe a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience. A typical hospital waiting room might have as many as 5,000 visitors each week. What a better place to hold regular exhibitions of art! Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the outpatients waiting area of the Manchester Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain’s first hospital artist, Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates. The effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors, playful images and restful courtyards. The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto a garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.(A)60.The underlined part“to soften the hard edges of modern buildings”in Paragraph 2 means“________”.A.to decorate hospitals with art collectionsB.to make the corners of hospital buildings roundC.to change people’s attitude toward hospitalsD.to replace the old buildings with modern buildings【解析】语义理解题。第二段提到,英国努力使艺术走出画廊而进入public places。使很多医院的走廊、候诊室、诊室中都有了significant collections of contemporary art(数量可观的当代艺术作品),由此可知,国家召集艺术家们改造旧医院,从而soften the hard edges of modern buildings, 就是要用art collection来装饰医院,使医院看上去不那么生硬、冷漠。(C)61.We learn the Peter Senior is a(n) ________.A.doctor interested in artsB.artist who refuses to hold art exhibitions in hospitalsC.pioneer in introducing art into hospitalsD.artist who owns a great deal of property【解析】事实细节题。第三段第一句提到,这些recent initiatives大部分要归功于一个名叫Peter Senior的艺术家,他早在70年代初期就在位于英格兰东北部的曼彻斯特医院set up his studio, 由此可知,他是第一位将艺术引进医院的人。(B)62.According to Peter Senior, we can infer that________.A.modern hospitals have a lot of patientsB.art is not appreciated by a large number of people in modern societyC.patients should be encouraged to learn paintingD.artists can not find their positions in modern society【解析】推理判断题。第三段第二句提到,Peter Senior感到艺术家在现代社会中已经lost his place,并认为艺术应该让a wider audience来欣赏,由此可推断出,在现代社会,艺术is not appreciated by a large number of people。(B)63.The passage mainly tells us that___________. A.patients no longer wholly depend on expensive drugsB.the quality of the environment in hospitals counts in the process of recovery from illness C.the effect is strikingD.these recent initiatives owe a great deal to Peter Senior【解析】主旨大意题。本文一开头就提到医学界正逐步认识到医院的环境对病人的康复具有很重要的作用。文章讲述了一个英国现代艺术家把画展摆在了医院大厅里,从而改变了病人就医环境的实例,以及研究的情况“patients who had a view onto a garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.”阐明了“The quality of the environment in hospitals counts in the process of recovery from illness.”这一观点。CBrenda Linson never goes anywhere without an empty spectacles case. It is as vital to her as her purse. Yet, she doesn’t wear glasses. The reason she cannot do without it is that she cannot read and she cannot write. If ever she gets into any situation where she might be expected to do either of these things, she fishes around in her bag for the spectacles case, finds it’s empty, and asks the person concerned to do the reading for her. Until a few months ago hardly anybody knew about her problem. Her husband didn’t know and her children didn’t know. The children still don’t.She had many tactics for hiding her difficult—for example, never lingering near a phone at work, in case she had to answer it and might be required to write something down.It has never occurred to the children that their mother cannot read. She doesn’t read them stories, but then their father doesn’t either, so they find nothing surprising in the fact. Similarly they just accept that Dad is the one who writes the sick notes and reads the school reports. Now that the elder boy Tom is quite a proficient reader, Brenda can skillfully get him to read any notes brought home from school simply by asking,“What’s that all about, then?”Brenda’s husband never guessed the truth in ten years of marriage. For one thing, he insists on handling all domestic correspondence and bills himself. A salesman for a large company, he travels a great deal and so is not around so much to spot the truth. While he’s away Brenda cores with any situations by explaining that she cannot do anything until she’s discussed it with her husband.Brenda was very successful in her job until recently. For the last five years she had worked as waitress at an expensive restaurant, and had eventually been promoted to head waitress. She kept the thing a secret there too, and got over the practical difficulties somehow.(C)64.Brenda carries an empty spectacles case wherever she goes because__________. A.she is always so forgetfulB.she uses it as a purseC.it may provide her with an excuseD.she wishes to look like an educated woman【解析】语意理解题。从第一自然段“If ever she gets into any situation where she might be expected to do either of these things, she fishes around in her bag for the spectacles case, finds it is empty, and asks the person concerned to do the reading for her.”可知她的目的是为掩饰自己不能读和写的事实提供借口。(C)65.Brenda’s children have never found out about her problem as__________. A.she isn’t often at homeB.they are too young to guess the truthC.they find it normal to ask their father for everythingD.they think it natural that short-sighted people like their mother don’t do much reading or writing【解析】推理判断题。从“She doesn’t read them stories, but then their father doesn’t either, so they find nothing surprising in the fact”.“Similarly they just accept that Dad is the one who writes the sick notes and reads the school reports.”“he insists on handling all domestic correspondence and bills himself.”等很多事例可知孩子们不知道实情是因为他们认为让父亲做每件事都是正常的。(D)66.What most probably made Brenda try hard to hide her difficulty? A.Her desire to be successful in her job.B.Her fear of losing face.C.Her deceitful nature.D.Both A and B.【解析】推理判断题。从她隐瞒同事隐瞒家人她不识字的事实以及她事业非常成功可知答案。(C)67.Of the following suggested titles, which is the most appropriate? A.Brenda and Her FamilyB.A Woman Who Doesn’t Wear GlassesC.A Woman with an Empty Spectacles CaseD.The Miserable Life of a Waitress【解析】主旨大意题。文章介绍了一位为了事业、为了不让家人同事笑话自己目不识丁、天天空眼镜盒不离手、时时小心谨慎恐会露馅的一位成功女士的故事。其他选项都不合适。DHarriet Beecher StoweBy Noel B Gerson218 pages. Praeger $8.95“So this is the little lady who made this big war,”said Abraham Lincoln. The president was meeting the author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin for the first time, more than a decade after the book’s publication in 1852.“It was not simply a patronizing(傲慢的)remark”. Harriet Beecher Stowe really was small:“I am a little bit of a woman,”she described herself,“about as thin and dry as a pinch of snuff.”If Uncle Tom’s Cabin did not quite start a war, it ignited the minds of people North and South, both for and against abolition. Tens of thousands of Americans who had not read the book already knew Simon Legree as the classic slave driver and Uncle Tome the black victim.Harriet Beecher Stowe was a well-known writer well before Uncle Tom’s Cabin made her rich and famous. For a time, she and her preacher husband Calvin Stowe were too poor to afford a servant. Mrs. Stowe ran her house, cared for her twin daughters(the first two of seven children),churned out genteel, folksy stories and religious essays to help make ends meet.Uncle Tom’s Cabin changed all that. It was the first great American best-seller. In the initial year in print, it sold 300,000 copies, and eventually more than 3 million American readers bought the book. Worldwide, sales ran to something like 10 million in 40 languages.In this plain but informative portrait, biographer Gerson notes that author Stowe never visited the deep South before the Civil War. Most of the knowledge of slavery was gained from former slaves whom she met while living in Cincinnati(one of the busiest stops on the Underground Railway), though she did visit a working plantation in Kentucky briefly in 1833.In spite of the impact on the world of her celebrated novel it turns out that except for the issue of slavery, she had a scant interest in politics.(D)68.Harriet Beecher Stowe is a book that describes mainly________. A.the effect of Uncle Tom’s CabinB.the family of Mrs. StoweC.the reason for the popularity of Uncle Tom’s CabinD.the life and works of Mrs. Stowe【解析】主旨大意题。本文介绍了Harriet Beecher Stowe的小说Uncle Tom’s Cabin(《汤姆叔叔的小屋》)对美国社会的影响,并提到了她的生活,由此可知D为正确答案。(D)69.Abraham Lincoln’s remark concerning Harriet Beecher Stowe was______. A.patronizing and inspiringB.important and necessaryC.made in 1852D.patronizing but quite accurate【解析】事实细节题。第一段提到总统的话“It was not simply a patronizing remark”,下一自然段证明了Harriet Beecher Stowe所写的Uncle Tom’s Cabin的确影响了美国。(A)70.The cause of the Civil War was really_________. A.the issue of abolitionB.the uprising of the oppressed classC.the popularity of the song“Old Black Joe”D.the anger felt by those who read“Uncle Tom’s Cabin”【解析】推理判断题。第二段开头提到,如果说不是Uncle Tom’s Cabin这本小说start a war,那么也是它激起了人们for and against abolition(支持和反对废除黑奴制度)的想法,以致产生对立,引起战争,由此可推断出the issue of abolition才是Civil War(南北战争)的真正起因。(B)71.Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote many stories________. A.to fight for the independence of AmericaB.to supplement her husband’s incomeC.to champion the cause of the slavesD.to obtain fame as a writer【解析】事实细节题。第三段提到有一段时间,Harriet Beecher Stowe夫妇很穷,can’t afford a servant, 于是为了help make ends meet(养家糊口),她边做家务边写小说。(D)72.Harriet Beecher Stowe’s knowledge of slavery was________. A.not accurateB.based on reports onlyC.gathered from both slave drivers and slavesD.mainly gained from slaves【解析】事实细节题。第五段提到Harriet Beecher Stowe生活在Cincinnati时遇到了一些former slaves,从那里了解到了很多奴隶制的一些情况,由此可知D为正确答案。第二节 简答题(共3小题;每小题2分,满分6分)阅读下面短文,根据第73—75小题的具体要求,简要回答问题。The gun sounded. Liu Xiang’s start was so perfect that the Cuban athlete Dayron Robles thought his rival had jumped early.It’s too late when Robles realized his error—the start was fast, not false.12.91 seconds later, the Chinese audience burst into cheering and many cried when they saw on CCTV live that brave Liu Xiang dashed to the line far ahead of his competitors at the Athens Olympic Games, on August 27, 2004.As Liu Xiang ran to victory in the 110-meter hurdles, his legs flying to clock(达到)a stunning 12.91 seconds, which equaled the world record set by Britain’s Collin Jackson in 1993, the panic in sports announcers’ voices was almost obvious. Few in the West knew that China had a good hurdler, much less a record-making one. Stunned by the victory, a Greek TV announcer stammered:“In the first place, it’s … it’s a Chinese man.”Puzzled by the X in Liu’s given name, he sidestepped the problem:“He is Mr. Liu. Congratulations to Mr. Liu from China.”If there is one everlasting image of the 2004 Athens Olympics, it is of China’s champion 110-meter hurdler, Liu Xiang, as he jumped up on the winner’s dais(高台), a smile beaming across his face. He had not just won gold; he had rewritten the history books—the first Asian man to win a power track event, the first Chinese man to win track and field gold.The whole world had better to get used to Mr. Liu and his given name—Xiang, which means “flying in the wind.”73.Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word“rival”in Paragraph 1. Competitor. 【解析】两词都出现在比赛时与对手进行竞赛的情况中。74.Why was the Greek announcer very surprised as Liu ran to the destination?(回答字数不超过12个) Few in the West knew Liu Xiang was a good hurdler. 【解析】文章中第三段的中间提到“希腊的播音员感到震惊因而说话结巴”的原因是它前一句话导致的。75.What was Liu Xiang’s achievement in the 2004 Athens Olympics?(回答字数不超过10个)He was the first Asian to win a track gold. 【解析】从文章倒数第二段的最后一句可以得到答案。第四部分 书面表达(共两节,满分35分)第一节 填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在文后第76—85小题的空格里填上适当的单词或短语。注意:每空不超过3个单词。Have you ever been afraid of or attracted to someone just because of the way the person looks? When you first meet someone, it is not unusual to react to his/ her appearance. But these are first impressions, and most people assume that it takes time to find out what someone is really like. It is possible, however, that a person’s appearance reveals more than we realize. According to some experts, a person’s face, head, and body can reveal a great deal about personality.Since ancient times, people have practiced the art of physiognomy, or reading character from physical features. The ancient Greeks compared the human face to various animals and birds such as the eagle and the horse. They believed people shared certain character traits with the animals they resembled. A person with an equine, or horselike face was thought to be loyal, brave, and stern. A person with an aquiline or eaglelike nose was believed to be bold and courageous, as well as arrogant and self-centered. Physiognomists study such features as the shape of the head, the length and thickness of the neck, the color and thickness of the hair, and the shape of the nose, mouth, eyes, and chin.A related though not as ancient art is phrenology, the study of the bumps on the head. Phrenologists have identified forty bumps of various shapes and sizes on the human head. They “read”these bumps to identify a person’s talents and character, For example ,a bump between the nose and forehead is said to be present in people who have natural elegance and a love of beauty. A bump behind the curve of the ear is the sign of a courageous and adventurous person.Phrenology was developed in the early eighteenth century by Franz Joseph Gall, a doctor in Vienna. His interest began at school when he noticed that boys with prominent eyes seemed to have the best memories. This led him to believe that a connection existed between appearance and ability. Dr. Gall’s research interested many people, but he was ridiculed by other doctors. When he died in 1828, he was a poor and bitter man. It was only many years later that Dr. Gall’s theories found support among doctors and scientists, and today the art of phrenology is still popular.Title:76.

The students were questioned whether they were willing to have the evening self-study at school or not. Here is the result according to the survey. 60 percent of the students think it’s a good idea to have the evening self-study at school. They think they can do better in their study with the help of the teachers. Also, they can concentrate on their lessons better in the classroom and with company of their fellow classmates. There are 25 percent of the students who think they prefer to study at home. They suppose that they may get disturbed by others and there are possible dangers on their way home alone. At the same time, still 15 percent of the students don’t have a clear answer to the question. They say they will go to school to have evening self-study if they are asked to, but they promise they can also do well at home.听力材料Text 1M:Tomorrow is 14th.

After that, beat together 3 eggs, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 cup of milk. Then, one cup of cheese. Mix them together into the dish. Finally, put the dish into the oven .Bake the cheese pie for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. All you can do now is wait!
