Multicolored 21 of various shapes and sizes filled the bright sky like beautiful birds darting(飞奔) and 22 . As the strong wind blew against the kites, a 23 kept them under control. Instead of blowing away with the wind they arose 24 it to achieve great 25 . They shook and pulled, 26 the control string and the long tail 27 them in tow(牵引), facing upward and against the wind. As the kites 28 and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be 29 !” They soared beautifully even as they fought the restriction(约束) of the string. 30 , one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. “ Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.” Yet freedom from 31 simply put it at the 32 of an unsympathetic breeze. It dropped ungracefully to the ground and 33 in the wild mass of weeds, string against a dead bush. “Free at last” -- free to lie powerless in the dirt, to be blown 34 along the ground, and to lodge lifeless against the first obstruction. How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversities and restrictions, rules to 35 from which we can grow and gain strength. Control is a 36 counterpart to the winds of opposition. Some of us tug at the rules so hard that we 37 soar to reach the heights we might have obtained. We keep part of the commandment and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground. Let us 38 rise to the great heights, 39 that some of the controls that we may be unhappy about are actually the steadying force that helps us 40 and achieve. 21． A．creations B．uniforms C．opinions D．remarks 22． A．singing B．dancing C．string D．choice 24． A．over B．under C．for D．against 25． A．widths B．lengths C．figures D．heights 26． A．anyhow B．then C．but D．meanwhile 27． A．exchanged B．kept C．equipped D．fetched 28． A．struggled B．cried C．escaped D．shouted 29． A．free B．comfortable C．evident D．great 30． A．Practically B．Finally C．Eagerly D．Clearly 31． A．sky B．effort C．control D．success 32． A．demand B．expense C．pressure D．mercy 33． A．deserted B．cut C．grew D．landed 34． A．helplessly B．hopelessly C．carelessly D．willingly 35． A．break B．follow C．make D．charge 36． A．necessary B．possible C．useless D．smooth 37． A．yet B．never C．ever D．then 38． A．both B．every C．each D．neither 39． A．blaming B．accomplishing C．attempting D．recognizing 40． A．run away B．look down C．go up D．get off 第二部分：阅读理解（共 25 小题；第一节每小题 2 分，第二节每小题 1 分，满分 45 分） 第一节：短文理解（共 20 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 40 分） A The weather predictions for Asia in 2050 read like a story from a doomsday movie. Many experts and green groups fear they will come true unless there is a united global effort to hold back greenhouse gas outpouring. In the decades to come, Asia---home to more than half the world’s 63 billion people-will change from one climate extreme to another, with tired farmers battling droughts, floods, disease, food shortages and rising sea levels. “It’s not a pretty picture,” said Steve Sawyer, climate policy adviser with Greenpeace in Amsterdam. Global warming and changes of weather patterns are already occurring and there is more than enough carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to drive climate change for decades to come. Already, changes are being felt in Asia but worse is likely to come, Sawyer and top climate bodies say, and could lead to mass migration and widespread human disasters. According to predictions, icebergs will melt faster, some Pacific and Indian Ocean islands will have to evacuate or build sea defenses, storms will become more intense and insect-and water-borne diseases will move into new areas as the world warms. All this comes on top of rising populations and earnest demand for food, water and other resources. Experts say environmental worsening such as deforestation and pollution will likely enlarge the results of climate change. In what could be a sign of the future, Japan was hit by a record of 10 typhoons and tropical storms this year, while two-thirds of Bangladesh, parts of Nepal and large areas of northeastern India were flooded, affecting 50 million people, destroying livelihoods and making tens of thousands ill. The year before, a winter cold strike and a summer heat wave killed more than 2,000 people in India. 41．This passage is mainly about . A．what kind of weather we like best B．the weather predictions for Asia in the future and the reasons C．how to improve our environment D．that the world will not be suitable for us to live in 42．In the future the Asian farmers will have to face the following except . A．food shortages B．droughts C．wars D．floods 43．The underlined word “doomsday” may give us the feeling of . A．happiness B．sadness C．peace D．excitement 44．Which of the following is NOT right according to the passage? A．Asian climate will change greatly. B．Some islands may be flooded in the future. C．More than 50 million people have been killed in Asia the year before. D．people may meet with some new diseases borne from water. B In a society such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious and cultural differences, people highly value individualism--the differences among people. Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize all possible basic knowledge. Instead, they work individually and find answers by themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions. In most Asia societies, by contrast, the people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the orient reflects society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments. There are advantages and disadvantages of both systems of education. For example, one advantage of the system in Japan is that students there learn much more about math, physics, biology and chemistry than American students by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized. The advantage of the educational system in North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from school, they haven’t memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have. 45．The writer’s purpose of writing this passage is . A．to share his idea with others in a new way B．to introduce two different systems of education through contrast C．to criticize the society that values memorization D．to prepare students for society 46．Which is NOT true according to the passage? A．The system of education in the West is more creative than that in the East B．Japanese students learn much more about science than American students. C．Canadian students are more individual than Korean students. D．Students in North America are not so friendly as those in Asia. 47．From the facts, we can infer that . A．Asian students are more likely to do better in teamwork than American students B．Chinese students are more hard-working in their studies than Mexican students C．the Western educational system is much better than the Eastern educational system. D．the Eastern educational system is as difficult as the Western educational system. 48．What is the best title for the passage? A．Advantages and Disadvantages of Educational System. B．The Value of Individualism. C．Educational System-an Obvious Difference between the East and the West. D．Memorization-an Important Learning Method. C An Australian man has beaten 75 other contestants from around the world to win a race up the stairs of the world’s tallest building, Taipei 101. Paul Crake,30, ran up 91 floors containing 2,046 steps in 10 minutes, 29 seconds. Mr. Crake, who has won a similar race up the Empire State Building five times, won $5,920 in prize money. The women’s race was won by Austrian Andrea Mayr, who finished in 12 minutes,38 seconds and also won a $5,920 prize. Austrian Rudolf Reitheiger, who beat Mr. Crake in this year’s Empire State Building Race, came second in the men’s competition. Mr. Crake and Ms. Mayr missed out on the offer of $30,000 for completing the grueling race in under 10 or 12 minutes respectively. A further 1,001 people took part in a so-called “self-challenging” race up the skyscraper. Taipei 101 is 508 meters tall and was finished in 2003, although Chinese developers have said Shanghai’s World Financial Center will be taller when completed in 2007. “Tower-running” races take place up the tallest buildings and structures across the world. The Sears Tower in Chicago, the CN Tower in Toronto and the Azrieli Tower in Tel Aviv have all held recent events. Runners also race up the longest staircase in the world-the service staircase for the Niesenbahn railway near Spiez, Switzerland, which has 11,674 steps. At event for the long—distance stairway runners also takes place in Radebeul, Germany, where competitors run up 397 stairs 100 times to equal the height of Mt everest. 49．According to the passage, we can infer that there were contestants in all to take part in the race up the stairs of the world’s tallest building,Taipei101. A． 30 B．75 C．76 D．1001 50．Which of the following is NOT true about Paul Crake? A．Paul Crake is an Australian man who is 30 years old at least. B．Paul Crake has raced up the Empire State Building five times. C．Paul Crake didn’t win a $30,000 prize for not completing the race in under 10 minutes. D．Paul Crake was beaten by Rudolf Reitheiger in this year’s Empire State Building race. 51．According to the passage, Shanghai’s World Financial Center when completed in 2007. A．will be the tallest building in the world B．will be more than 508 meters tall C．will be less than 508 meters tall D．will have 11,674 steps in total 52．Why didn’t Ms Mayr get the $30,000 prize? A．Because she didn’t complete the whole race B．Because she got the second place in the race C．Because she didn’t complete the race in under 12 minutes. D．Because she took part in the race for the first time 53．What’s main idea of this passage? A．Races up the stairs of the tallest buildings and structures across the world B．Paul Crake won a race up the stair of the world’s building Taipei 101 C．The tallest building of the world will be built in Shanghai D．Runners raced up the longest stairs in the world. D There are several explanations for why the circle is divided into 360 parts. Probably the best explanation is connected with the Babylonians. Many, many centuries ago, large distances were measured in the Babylonians mile. The Babylonians mile equaled about seven of our miles. Because of its length, the time needed to travel the Babylonians mile became a measure of time. One day was said to be twelve Babylonians time-miles. About one thousand years before Christ, the Babylonians began keeping records of star movements. They needed a way to record how much time passed between the moment they first saw a star and then observed it again. They used Babylonians time-miles as their measure of time In order to have small units of time, the Babylonians divided each time-mile into thirty parts. The Babylonians believed that each trip around the sky was a circle. One complete trip around the sky, they reasoned, took one day. You already know that one day was the same as twelve Babylonians time-miles. Since each time-mile was divided into thirty parts, the circular trip around the sky was 12×30, or 360 parts long. That is how there came to be 360 degrees in a circle. 54．The purpose of this passage is to explain . A．how the Babylonians measured the time of star movements. B．why the circle is divided into 360 parts C．the Babylonian mile and the Babylonian time-mile D．the Babylonians’ ideas about the sky 55．For what was the Babylonians time divided into thirty parts? A．To make a day into 360 parts B．To make a circle into 360 parts C．To measure more exact distances D．To measure more exact time 56．We conclude that one Babylonian time-mile equals A．two hours B．about seven miles C．one day D．twelve degrees E Are you single and dreaming of an exciting voyage vacation, but unsure of the next step?
