B
The church seems cold this morning, even after all the people, friends and family fill the
benches．I sit here in silence, in shock and denial．This was not supposed to happen．What about
our dreams, or our plans? We were going to raise our children, travel around the world, and grow
old together．I’m only 37, a typical housewife．I don’t know if I can do all this alone—two
children, no father．What do I do or say?
The faces of so many people confuse me as they come to pay their last respects．Some have
real sorrow; I can see it in their eyes．The others seem to just say．“I told you so．” Those famous
last words: I—told—you—so．How I can’t stand them．And the pointing fingers as so-called
family and so-called friends pick me out of the crowd for others to see．I want to scream and wake
up but I can’t do anything but sit there．How can they be so blind? I fell in love with a man．Love
knows no boundaries．
He was a good man, hardworking, caring and kind．He was retired form the Navy and a
gentleman．He was sensitive to others’ needs, the kind of man that knew what to do or say, how to
humor any situation and calm everyone’s fears．I remember our first child was a big surprise to
both of us．I remember when I told him the news．He fell off his chair, saying over and over in
disbelief．“But I’m almost sixty．” After a few months he started planning our next and even
doing his famous little dance whenever he discussed the idea．
Our son, our first born, his joy and pride, sits to the right of me, seeming just as confused as
me．I look over at him．How he looks like his father—blonde hair, tall and skinny—even his Irish
temperament(气质) and that naughty look in his eyes．He’s wearing his father’s watch．It’s too big
for him but he refused to take it off．I know he’ll keep it safe．Our second, the little angel and
Daddy’s little girl, lies in her stroller(婴儿车) in the aisle, sound asleep．She’ll never remember
the man she called “Da”．
A man, thirty years older than I, lies in a coffin．Flowers, the American flag and his VFW
comrades surround him, paying tribute(颂词) to him as the man he really was．And I sit alone here,
with our two children, in silence, praying that his cold morning at church is only a nightmare(梦魇)
and I will awake to his loving arms again．
60．The man passed away, leaving his dearest woman to bring up their two children, the elder of
whom is a boy of about _________．
A．1 B．3 C．7 D．9
61．We can infer from the passage that ___________．
A．the woman’s family were against her marriage to the man
B．none of the people there showed real sympathy to the woman
C．the woman did something wrong
D．the family had lived a happy life before the man died
62．In paragraph 3, the underlined word “our next” means _________．
A．our next dance B．our next news
C．what for us to do next D．our next baby
C
At one time it was the dream of many little girls to become a nurse．Today, however, America
is facing its worst nurse shortage since World War I. Recently about 2, 000, 000 nurses are needed
and 60 percent of all hospitals in the US have shortages large enough to threaten（= say that you
will hurt somebody if they don't do what you want）the quality of care provided.
The demand for nurses spreads widely throughout the nursing field.
What has become of these women in white? The answer lies in not one but several causes. One
possibility is the fact that woman have greater career options （职业选择）. In the past, women
who chose to work outside the home had two basic choices: nursing or teaching. Today, more
women than ever are in the work force, but their options have greatly increased. There are women
doctors, lawyers, firefighters and police officers. In fact, women today are found in nearly every
field of work. Nursing has been left behind, as women move on to jobs with higher pay and
greater status（地位）. A woman or a man in the nursing field is often looked down upon as
“merely a nurse”. Teachers may be also at fault. Many high school students are actually being
steered （劝 导）away from nursing, told by teachers that they are “too bright to be a nurse”.
Americans are living longer than ever and requiring more medical attention. In fact, the
number of elderly patients has almost doubled in the past twenty years. Obviously a larger
population requires more nurses. AIDS and other diseases have caused more and more people to
need nursing care. Usually fatal diseases mean long drawn - out hospital stay, that is to say, more
nurses are needed to care for these patients. It is estimated that the demand for nurses will be
doubled the supply in the coming ten years.
63．Why is America facing its worst nurse shortage?
A. Because the demand of nurses has been doubled.
B. Because more and more women prefer to be teachers and doctors.
C. Because women have been provided with many different jobs.
D. Because women no longer choose to be nurses.
64．The passage tells us that high school teachers are at fault for________.
A. not mentioning the worst nurse shortage in the US
B. introducing jobs with higher pay and greater status to their students
C. not asking the government to raise the nurses’ payment
D. persuading the students not to be nurses
65．The author wrote this passage in order to________.
A. describe the unequal treatment of women in the US
B. warn people to pay more attention to the nursing problem
C. tell us women’s free choice of jobs today
D. call on women not to be nurses
66．Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. High school students think themselves too bright to be nurses．
B. Women in the US have greater career choice than those in other countries.
C. Of all the hospitals in the world 60 percent more nurses are badly needed.
D. Nursing used to be a popular job among women.
D.
Do you want to live forever? By the year 2050, you might actually get your wish--if you are
willing to leave your biological body and live in silicon circuits. But long before then, perhaps as
early as 2010, some measures will begin offering a semblance of immortality(虚拟的永生).
Researchers are confident that technology will soon be able to track every waking moment of
your life. Whatever you see and hear, all that you say and write, can be recorded, analyzed and
added to your personal chronicles (履历). By the year 2030, it may be possible to catch your
nervous systems electrical activities, which would also keep you thoughts and emotions.
Researchers at the laboratories of British Telecommunications have given the name of this idea as
Soul Catcher.
Small electronic equipment will make preparations for Soul Catcher. it would use a wearable
supercomputer, perhaps in a wristwatch, with wireless links to micro sensors under your scalp(头
皮) and in the nerves that carry all five sensory signals. So wearing a video camera would no
longer be required.
At first, the Soul Catcher' s companion system — the Soul Reader — might have trouble
copying your thoughts in complete details. Even in 2030, we may still be struggling to
understand how the brain is working inside, so reading your thoughts and understanding your
emotions might not be possible. But these signals could be kept for the day when they can be
transferred to silicon circuits to revitalize minds everlasting entities (实体). Researchers can only
wonder what it will be like to wake up one day and find yourself alive inside a machine.
For people who choose not to live in silicon, semblance of immortality would not be as
useless as they thought. People would know their lives would not be forgotten, but would be kept
a record of the human race forever. And future generations would have a much fuller
understanding of the past. History would not be controlled by just the rich and powerful,
Hollywood stars, and a few thinkers in the upper society.
67. The main idea of this passage is that .
A. human beings long for living forever
B. there are many difficulties in making the Soul Catcher
C. people can live forever as technology develops
D. the invention of Soul Catcher has great significance
68. According to this passage, a Soul Catcher will be .
A. a new machine on which research measures have already made
B. a new invention in order to catch and keep human's thoughts
C. made by British scientists to offer something that looks like living forever
D. made of silicon circuits which can catch people's nervous activity
69. We can infer from the passage that semblance of immortality is .
A. to be a reality sooner or later B. far from certain
C. just an idea that couldn’t t be realized at all D. a fading hope
70. The meaning of the underlined word "rejuvenate" in the fourth paragraph is close to
A. make dead B. make famous C. make known D. make active

Educating girls quite possibly harvests a higher rate of return than any other investment
available in the developing world. Women's education may be an unusual field for economists(经
济学家), but increasing women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic as
a social issue. And economics, with its focus on incentives(鼓励), provides an explanation for why
so many girls are deprived of(剥夺)an education.
Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect
them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody
else's family and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home
to do housework while their brothers are sent to school — the prophecy ( 预 言 ) becomes
self-fulfilling, trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环) of neglect.
An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and
faces an entirely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can
insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance.
The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as
well as of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous
circle.
Few will argue that educating women has great social benefits. But it has enormous
economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages
of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling. Such big
returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the
beginning. Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices, including family
planning.
Topic: The significance of female (71) ___________ in developing countries
Viewpoint Educating girls is more beneficial than any other (72) ______________.
Families From low-income families From educated mothers' families
Attitudes Girls are of less (73) ___________
than boys.

(74)____________
Practices
●There is (75). ______________
investment in daughters.
● Girls axe made to stay at home,

Girls and boys have (77) _______

Consequences A vicious circle A virtuous circle
Significance Educating girls (78)__________ to social benefits, (79)__________ advantages
and health practices, including family planning.
(80)_________ Educating girls in developing countries is important and rewarding.

书面表达：
The 29th Olympic Games was held in Beijing in August,2008. Recently we
have had a heated discussion about its effects on Beijing. Some students believe
there are many good effects. They think the Olympics will encourage people in
Beijing to learn English harder, help more people find jobs, prosper tourism and make
Beijing more beautiful. Besides it will make China better known to the world. Others
think the Olympics will also bring some trouble. For example, at that time, the traffic
will be heavier and the environment will be destroyed. Furthermore, holding the
Olympic Games will also cause more pollution and waste resources.
As the famous saying goes, every coin has two sides. So I think the Olympics
have both good and bad effects. And it is certain that our government will do
something to avoid the bad. What’s more, our competitors will do better in the 2008
Olympic Games.
Yours,
Huang Lei
