downstairs to watch her performance. I was the only listener. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life
became 49 . 50 we didn’t know each other, I thought we were already good friends. I believe she
also loved me.
Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening carefully, the sound suddenly 51 . To my
astonishment, the girl came over to me.
“You must like violin.” she said.
“Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked.
Suddenly, a 52 expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual.
“I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It was your
listening every day that 53 me.” she said.
“ 54 it was your playing that gave me a meaningful autumn,” I answered, “Let’s be friends.”
The girl smiled, and so did I.
I never heard her play again in my life. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick
leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the fine figure of the girl. She is like a 55 —so
short, so bright, like a shooting star giving off so much light that it makes the autumn beautiful.

A
American magician David Blaine left the glass box in which he had lived for 44 days without food on
October 19, 2003. Hundreds of people came to watch the end of his starvation experiment, which has
become one of London’s main tourist attractions.
Looking thinner and darker, 30-year-old Blaine was taken out of his box over the River Thames and
immediately went to hospital. He was then slowly reintroduced to food, a process doctors say could be life
threatening. He had been drinking only water since September 5.
A native of Brooklyn, New York, Blaine first became known as a street magician in the early 1990s.
He soon found himself doing magic tricks in bars for the likes of American actor Leonardo DiCaprio and
his super model friends.
Over the last decade Blaine has become famous with a combination of breathtaking magic and clever
tricks aimed at getting a lot of attention. In 1999, he was buried in a coffin (棺材) for one week and, in
2000, he spent 62 hours in a giant block of ice. Last year he stood on top of a 25-meter pillar (柱子) in the
center of New York for 35 hours before jumping into a pile of boxes.
“I think a lot of people are unable to accept that they’re able to do what they can do,” he said. “They
don’t realize we can survive. The human being is an amazing creation.”
But he seems to have suffered from spending so long in the glass box. He said that at times he was
unable to see, had serious back pains and lost his sense of taste.
56. It is for David Blaine to eat food after such a long starvation.
A. pleasant B. delicious C. dangerous D. important
57. Having spent such a long time in the glass box, he suffered the following EXCEPT that .
A. he had become blind B. he had serious back pains
C. he lost his sense of taste D. he was in weak health
58. Which of the following can best describe David Blaine?
A. Serious. B. Adventurous. C. Smart. D. Crazy.
59. Which of the following is NOT true about David Blaine?
A. Blaine immediately went to hospital after he was taken out of his box.
B. Blaine was born and brought up in England.
C. In Blaine’s opinion, people can create a wonder.
D. Blaine didn’t have any food for 44 days.
B
Not everyone goes to university after high school graduation. Some work, others join the army and an
increasing number worldwide are taking a “gap year” to travel or do community service in their own
countries or abroad. They are studying sharks off the Australian coast, building schools in Mexico and
learning Spanish or Italian.
The concept of a gap year may not be new, but the recent surge (涌现) of interest certainly is. Some
students are putting off admissions. Others, who don’t get into the college of their choice, are taking a year
to explore new frontiers before reapplying.
Students are choosing to take a breather; they are thinking. They are not sure what they are going to do.
They are going and exploring some of their interests. They are getting experience they can take to the
school they finally go to.
It is an idea actively encouraged by colleges. Princeton University has just launched a “bridge year”
program that will send 10 percent of its incoming class to do volunteer work abroad, starting in 2009. And
the Harvard has spent the last 30 years urging incoming students to take a gap year.
“Many speak of their year away as a ‘life-changing’ experience or a ‘turning point’” says Harvard
admissions director Marlin Lewis. “Many come to college with new opinions about their academic plans,
their extracurricular (课外的) interests and the career possibilities they observed in their year away.”
60. The reasons why some take a gap year are the following EXCEPT that ________.
A. they hate studying B. they don’t know what to do
C. they want to get experience D. they want to know their real interests
61. A student won’t ________ in a gap year.
A. travel B. join the army C. do community service D. learn a foreign language
62. After a gap year, one would probably _________.
A. take another year off B. earn a lot of money
C. be refused by his college D. have new ideas about their future career
63. From the passage we know that ________.
A. more and more students will take a gap year
B. fewer and fewer colleges will encourage his students to take a gap year
C. the gap year can only give one some experience about society
D. nobody will change his own interests after the gap year
C
Shopping is not as simple as you think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for
that particular brand of product on the shelf.
Coloring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are
packages in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors. Ice cream packets are
often blue and expensive foods, like chocolates, are gold and silver.
When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colors turned the
customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market
in a dark blue and white package because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.
The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it
appears to.
It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 percent of the total cost of the
product itself on packaging.
The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears
soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote (促销) their goods, came to the conclusion:
“Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius to sell it.”
64. Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text?
A. The cost of its package. B. The price of the product.
C. The color of its package. D. The brand name of the product.
65. The underlined part in paragraph 3 means that the colors _________.
A. attracted the customers strongly B. had weak effect on the customers
C. tricked the customers into shopping D. caused the customers to lose interest
66. Which of the following would be the best title for this text?
A. Choice of Good Products B. Disadvantages of Products
C. Effect of Packaging on Shopping D. Brand Names and Shopping Tricks
D
Every year mobile phones develop. Imagining what they will look like and be able to do in 2020 is
really a challenge. To help, experts have outlined three major mobile trends that they believe will have
become reality by then.
Our phones will be so smart in 10 years’ time that they’ll know everything about our situation and
warn us when something needs our attention. This is the top prediction of both Nokia and Google. They
predict that our cars and home appliances (家用电器) will be able to communicate with our mobile. For
example, fridges will tell your mobile to tell you to pick up milk on the way back from work. While driving,
your mobile will suggest that you take a different route because there’s a road accident up ahead.
The second trend is in gesture-based controls. People who know the iPhone’s touch-sensitive screen
are already familiar with the technology. It translates hand movements into actions on-screen. But gestural
communications will make the phone more convenient to use and may completely replace touchpads.
According to industry insiders, the most immediate step forward in gestural technology will be in voice
recognition. It’s believed voice recognition technology will speed up communications. It is quicker to speak
than type. Eventually, phone screens will disappear.
The third major development will change our understanding of a mobile phone. From a single phone,
the mobile will be developed into multi-part devices. It is opposite to the current trend in which mobile
phones are combining the functions of cameras, music players and game consoles (游戏机). The prediction
is based on the idea that the world will become more wireless and all these—cameras, music players and
game consoles—will be wirelessly connected. Mobile phones won’t need to contain these devices because
users will be able to control them wirelessly through their phones.
67. The first paragraph serves as .
A. a lead-in B. a conclusion C. a summary D. a supporting fact
68. Which of the following is most likely to be the appearance of a mobile phone in 2020?
69. From the text, we can learn that the future mobile phones will .
A. drive cars for us
B. be controlled by the users’ voices
C. be controlled by home appliances
D. be very big together with separated multiple parts
70. The text mainly tells us .
A. three major trends of mobile phones
B. what mobile phones will look like in 2020
C. the future mobile phones are gesture-based
D. some new functions of the present mobile phones

The demand has resulted in increased research about ethanol (乙醇，酒精) fuel. Ethanol is an alcohol that
can be mixed with gas. Not only does it burn up most of the pollutants (污染物) in gas, which do great
harm to health, but also it replaces some of the chemicals that are known to cause cancer.
Some experts say that in the future ethanol will replace some of the oil imported into America. Today
ethanol is less than one percent of the total American fuel supply. The head of the National Corn Growers
Association, Kieve Hars, says ethanol will provide twenty five percent of the fuel supply by 2010. The
organization is involved in the production of ethanol because it can be made from corn.
One company in American Midwest says it is starting to produce ethanol because of demands from
people and from the government. The Congress approved the Clean Air Act in 1990. The company says this
means the market for ethanol will expand. The company is a major producer of corn starch (淀粉) that can
be used to make ethanol.
At Texas University, Professor Mark Holzapple produces ethanol from materials found in solid waste.
He has developed a way to turn materials like paper into simple sugar. He then uses yeast (酵母) to turn the
sugar into ethanol. Professor Holzappple says two hundred liters of ethanol fuel can be produced from one
ton of solid waste.
A professor at the University of Arkansas, John Geddie, is exploring another way to make ethanol. He
is using acids on paper material. He says a large factory could produce ethanol from waste paper about the
same cost of that of gasoline.
Environmentalists support the use of ethanol because it turns waste into a useful product. Professor
Holzapple says law makers in industrial nations need to support the development of this renewable fuel of
the future.
