Directions： After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage
coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank
with the proper form of the given word ； for the other blanks, use one word that best
fits each blank.
My Campus Life
I spent my freshman year at Tulane University culture-shocked and out-of-place,
desperate to leave. It wasn’t known to me anyone else who was on scholarship ， I
(21 )_______(surprise) by the racism and sexism on campus.
(22)_______(do) poorly my first year of college was terrible; 1 felt stupid and
unworthy. This feeling was terrible because I had attended a famous math and science
public high school in New York (23) grades meant everything. But changing colleges
— (24)_______ the move was forced and unplanned — set the stage for me to find my passion and, eventually, a career.
When I picked up the pieces after Tulane and enrolled in a state college in Albany,
New York , I was still raw from my freshman year experience. I drank a lot, didn’t
know ( 25 )_______ classes to take and generally felt lost，It wasn’t (26 ) _______ I
took my first women’s studies class — an introductory feminist course — that I found
my footing.
Suddenly I could see the ways that everything from pop culture and politics
devalued women, and I understood more fully (27 )_______ injustices weren’t random
but systemic. Most importantly, however, I realized that there was nothing wrong with
me. Nothing is wrong with being loud or opinionated. These were just characteristics
not valued in women.
Once the personal validation took hold, the broader political implications followed.
I became active in campus causes ， joined a women’s studies (28) _______(teach)
collective and started to get good grades in my classes ------and not just the feminist
ones. Finding genuine enthusiasm for a topic — one that related so directly
(29)_______ the world around me — gave me a drive that I (30) _______ (not
experience) before. And it has not stopped since.
Section B
Directions： Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can
be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.
A. resolvedB. specifically C. council D. fashionably E. similar F. difference
G. rainy H. advertise I. case j. identify K. approached
The citizens who testified at city hall last week were far younger and, arguably, far
more
persuasive than those who usually come before the D. C. Council.
The four of them, officers of the student 31__________at Alice Deal Middle
School in Northwest, had 32 this year to take on something bigger than parties, spirit
days and other typical student government fare.
They wanted to effect change, leave a legacy.
Very 33_________， they wanted to give their classmates a covered Metro bus
shelter on Nebraska Avenue near Deal, a place where students could get out of the wind
and driving rain while waiting for a ride home each afternoon.
“ When we were elected，we said, 4 We want to make some change, , said Ben
Kom, an eighth-grader and the council’s president. “ We didn’t want to take on
something too big，but something big enough to make a 34_________. ”
Speaking before the D, C ， Council’s Committee on Transportation and the
Environment at the John A. Wilson Building on Thursday, Ben told of a cold and
35_________fail afternoon that found him waiting more than an hour and a half for his
M4 bus. Unlike the region’s suburban school systems, the District’s public schools do
not have their own fleet of buses, and most students take public transportation to and
from school. “By the time I got home，it was dark，and I was cold and wet，’’ said Ben • UI know my fellow officers here today and the rest of the Deal student body have
faced 36 situations. That is why we are here. ’’
Ben and his colleagues came up with the idea for the bus shelter and
37_________the D. C, Council with the guidance of their principal, James Albright.
The students met with Andrew Newman, a staffer for council member and
transportation committee chairman Mary M. Cheh ( D- Ward 3 ) , who suggested that
they present their 38 at a public roundtable downtown.
With students’ efforts，the District struck a deal with Clear Channel Communications
in 2005 that calls for Clear Channel to build up to 788 bus shelters in return for the right
to 39_________ on them. So far, they’ve built 745, leaving room for the Deal shelter.
“It’s a win-win for all parties at no cost to D. C. taxpayers.
This was a lesson in not getting everything you ask for, but the students were
brave. They had also learned another lesson, how to 40_________a problem, find a
solution and take action.

Section B
Directions： Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several
questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,
B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the
passage you have just read.
(A)
In an early survey conducted in 1888, a billion and a half people inhabited the
earth. Now, the population exceeds seven billion. This means that the world must
accommodate a new population roughly equal to that of the United States and Canada
every three years] Even though the rate of growth has begun to slow down, most experts
believe the population size will still pass eight billion soon.
If we examine the amount of land available for this ever-increasing population, we
begin to see the problem. K everyone on the planet had an equal share of land, we
would each have about 50,000 square metres. This figure seems to be quite encouraging
until we examine the type of land we would have. Not all land is useful to humans as it
cannot produce food. We can cut out about one fifth of it because it is permanently
covered by snow and ice* Then we can cut out another one fifth because it is desert.
Another fifth is too mountainous or is too great a height above sea-level. A tenth
doesn’t have enough soil for crops to grow — it is bare rock. Now the position begins to
look rather mom bleak (荒凉）!
Obviously, with so little land to support us, we should be taking great care not to
reduce it further. But are we? We are consuming its “ capital” , which means its
nonrenewable fossil fuels and other mineral deposits that took millions of years to form
but which are now being destroyed in decades. We are also doing the same with other
vital resources not usually thought of as being nonrenewable such as fertile soils,
groundwater and the millions of other species that share earth with us.
The birth of a baby in, for example, Hong Kong, imposes more than a hundred times the amount of stress on the world's resources as a baby in India. Most people in
India do not grow up to own cars or air-conditioners. Nor do they eat the huge amount
of meat and fish that the Hong Kong child does. Their life-styles do not require vast
quantities of minerals and energy. Also, they are aware of the requirements of the land
around them and try to put something back into nature to replace what they take out.
56. Why does the author mention the example of America and Canada?
A. To emphasize that world population has to be reduced.
B. To give a brief history of the population growth,
C. To stress how quickly the world population is rising.
D. To point out what a large population they have.
57. According to the author, how much per person of the earths surface can be used to
produce food?
A, 15 ,000 square metres. B. 25,000 square metres.
C. 30,000 square metres. D. 40,000 square metres.
58. Which of the following belongs lo vital resources?
A. Fossil fuels. B. Mineral deposits,
C. Chemical fertilizer. D. Groundwater.
59. When can learn from the passage that ___________________.
A. different lifestyles require similar quantities of resources
B. a Hong Kong baby consumes more resources than an Indian baby
C. tropical forest are being better used for pastureland
D. nature is powerful enough to destroy an aggressive man

Dr. Raint Mishor, of Georgetown University Hospital says many people believe
it’s possible to become immune to colds. Unfortunately , that’s not the case . “ There are
about 200 different viruses that cause the common cold and people think that once you
get infected one time you develop immunity for the rest of your life . This is wrong .
‘’She said .
There are many other common beliefs about colds that medical science doesn’t
support. How many of us believe the main cause of the common cold is exposure to
cold temperatures? Even some studies have shown that people get sick more frequently
during the winter .
But Dr. Mishori says it is not because of cold weather. “ It’s because people tend
to congregate and be together and the way the common cold virus is transmitted from
one person to another is through handshake , through sneezing , or through coughing on
one another.
While there is no actual cure for the common cold , Dr. Mishori says there are still
a few things you can do to help reduce its duration and intensity . Though the medical
community says Vitamin C does not help prevent colds , there is definitely some proof
that it helps keep them from being as bad. “ So if you catch a cold and on day once you
start taking about two grams of Vitamin C a day there is evidence that it might shorten
the number of days that you will be suffering with these symptoms.” Dr . Mishori
stated.
In addition , medical science sys honey and chicken soup are effective against
colds. Especially honey .” There is increased evidence that it helps shorten the duration
do the common cold sometimes even by two to three days particularly in children,” Dr.
Mishori said. “ Chicken soup has anti-inflammatory properties so it helps reduce the
duration of the cold but it also helps clear the mucus.
There’s also a common belief that you should “ feed a cold ant starve a fever.” Dr. Mishori says “ not necessary “. ‘ If you do have a cold and you don’t feel like eating
anything it’s not going to hurt you bur you have to drink a lot and you can drink water
or you can drink tea anything that gets fluids into your body , “ she said , “ That’s very
important.”
So---------if drinking fluids is a good idea------What about milk ? “ I will never
give milk to a a child who has got bad phlegm. My son used to have that and he would
throw up . “ Nadine Audrewy , the Hemmens kids’ grandmother , believes it’s not a
good idea to give milk to a child who has a cold .
Well ,says Dr. Mishori ,maybe and maybe not .” Dairy products do not cause
increased secretions but they can thicken the secretions,” she explained. ‘So it’s
possible that discomfort is somewhat more enhanced when you drink milk , but
obviously if you are a baby and its’s all you drink then you should not stop giving
babies milk.
There are many other myths about colds that do not pass science muster . Doctors
say the best advice is to continue using whatever works best for you . Even if it doesn’t
make the cold better , it won’t make it worse either ------while you wait for the cold to
just run its natural course.
63. According to the common belief “feed a cold and starve a fever”，people
should______________when catching cold.
A. drink a lot to get fluids into their body
B. have as much water and tea as possible
C. eat a lot even if they don9t feel like eating
D. starve themselves to a certain extent to kill the virus
64. Medical experts find that people catch cold because_____________________
A. they fail to develop immunity B. they stay in cold weather
C. they transmit the virus themselves D. they like to gather together
65. In the last paragraph, the sentence wThere are many other myths about colds
that do not
pass scientific muster^ probably means that many other myths regarding
colds________________________________
A. are not accepted as scientific B. are not rational in a scientific sense
C. do not reach the scientific standardD. do not draw scientific conclusions
66. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Ways to reduce duration and intensity of cold.
B. Scientific discoveries on the basis of myths.
C. Effects of different food on overcoming cold.
D. The old myths and new facts concerning cold.

IV. Summary Writing
Directions ： Read the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words
the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage. Use your own words as far as
possible.
Textbooks. Lecture hails. Over the next decade, technology may sweep away
some of the most basic aspects of a university education and lead in a flood of
innovations and changes. Look for online classes that let students learn at their own
pace, drawing on materials from schools across the country — not just a single
professor and one textbook.
All those changes probably won’t make a university education cheaper — alas
——but they will likely change our perceptions about how we value it. Traditionally,
schools have been judged by how many prospective students they turn away，not by
how many competent graduates they put out.
“ Those are status rankings，driven by exclusivity and preservation of an old
model, says Michael Crow, the president of Arizona State University. But as new
technologies come into the classroom, it will be easier to measure what students
actually learn. That will 4
