It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for a true friendship to 38 . However, there can be39 disagreement in the need for each of us to think carefully about what kind of friendship we want.

It’s an interesting and exciting new improvement in today’s quality of the air we breathe and save our natural resources. The quality of our air is affected by many different things. But one of the largest sources of air pollution is the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and gas which are used to power a car’s engine. The EPA has set national standards to help control the level of harmful pollutants sent off into the air, and the automobile industry has acted by producing a hybrid car that uses less gas and therefore causes less pollution. A hybrid car is a combination of a regular car that runs on gas and an electric car that is battery powered. Some people tend to think that since the hybrid car is partly electric, you have to plug it in to charge it. But that’s not how it works. Through the energy that is produced when the car’s brakes are used. This is referred to as “regenerative braking（再生制动）,” because it generates electricity. Although the hybrid car still runs on gas most of the time, this help it use less gas than a regular car. When a driver stops at a traffic light, the engine automatically shuts off to save fuel. Then, as soon as the driver puts the car in gear（处于正常工作状态）and touches the gas pedal, the engine starts back up. Have you ever ridden in a car with someone who ran out of gas? That probably wouldn’t happen if you were riding in a hybrid car. It flashed a warning reads: “ YOU ARE NOW OUT OF GAS!” Then the electric power supply energy in to let the driver travel a few more miles to a gas station. 56．According to the passage, the underlined word “hybrid” （in Paragraph 1） refers to _____. A．a high-tech discovery B．energy-saving C．a new invention D．a new kind for the combination of two things 57．“Regenerative braking” is an important process of the hybrid car because____________. A．it allows the car to come to a quick stop B．it makes the car ride smoother C．it generates energy to charge the electric motor D．it can control the speed of the car 58．The EPA is important to our environment because __________. A．they designed hybrid cars B．they forbade the burning of fossil fuels C．they set important rules that help control pollution D．their main purpose is to produce non-polluting cars 59．Which of the following is the reason for developing hybrid cars? A．They use less gas than regular cars. B．They’re safer to drive than most cars. C．They’re more modern than other cars. D．They cost less than regular cars. B． Some pessimistic experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future. The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution-free than present types. Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion （拥挤）. One proposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system. When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable （可伸缩的） arm will drop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to a central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car's movements. The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer（蜂鸣器）that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway. 60．One significant improvement in the future car will probably be________. A．its power source B．its driving system C．its monitoring system D．its seating capacity 61．What is the author's main concern? A．How to render automobiles pollution-free. B．How to make smaller and safer automobiles. C．How to solve the problem of traffic jams. D．How to develop an automated subway system. 62．What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system? A．A rail. B．An engine. C．A retractable arm.D．A computer controller. 63．In an automated highway system, all the driver needs to do is _______. A．keep in the right lane B．wait to arrive at his destination C．keep in constant touch with the computer center D．inform the system of his destination by phone 64．What is the author's attitude toward the future of autos? A．Enthusiastic. B．Pessimistic. C．Optimistic. D．Cautious. C Chinese basketball players have never been so close to the NBA before but questions remain about how they will adjust to life in the NBA if they go. Wang Zhizhi, the 2.16-metre center for the Bayi Rockets who was chosen by the Dallas Mavericks two years ago, has finally received permission from authorities to travel to Dallas to play for the rest of the NBA season after he finishes playing in the Chinese Basketball Association’s finals on March 25th.If he has no problems with his visa（签证）,Wang will be the NBA’s first Asian player. Wang was chosen by the Mavericks in the second round of the 1999 draft but the Rockets, an army-run club, refused to let him go. After negotiations（谈判）between the Rockets and NBA representatives（代表）,the decision was made to allow Wang the chance to try his hand at American basketball, but only for a period of short time. He has to be back to play in the Ninth National Games in November in Guangzhou. Another center who has attracted attention from the NBA is Yao Ming, the 2.25-meter star who has led to the Shanghai Sharks into the finals fight with the Rockets this year. The ear-old’s NBA dreams might be harder to realize. Yao is the center of the Sharks and the club’s manager Bei Genyuan has said that he would allow Yao to go only at a proper time, for a proper team and under proper conditions. Yao hasn’t been chosen yet and it is unlikely that he will be any time soon. People in the Shark’s front office earlier told members of the press that “it is not proper for Yao to attend the draft this year” because he has to represent Shanghai in the Ninth National Games. Even if Wang and Yao make it to the promised land of basketball at last, analysts on both sides of the Pacific have said the NBA road will be a long one for both of them.Besides needing to work on their upper body strength, Wang and Yao will also have to adapt（适应）to the speed, techniques and above all, culture of the NBA． 65．Yao Ming has attracted attention from NBA because ____. A．he is 2.25 metres tall, who is the tallest basketball player in China B．he is the center of the Shanghai Sharks and has led Sharks into the final fight with the Rockets C．he is regarded as the best basketball player in China D．he is thought highly of in the international world 66．Yao Ming can play for NBA if ____. A．there is no problem with his visa B．NBA agrees to supply favorable conditions for him C．time and conditions are proper D．NBA can pay a large sum of money for Sharks 67．NBA chose Wang Zhizhi so that _____. A．it can show NBA need talents B．Wang Zhizhi can have a bright future C．its whole level will be improved D．it can make Wang Zhizhi world-famous 68．When Wang Zhizhi plays in NBA, he will have to adapt to many things of NBA except. A．rules of basketball B．the speed C．culture D．techniques D For an increasing number of students at American universities, Old is suddenly in. The reason is obvious: the graying of America means jobs. Coupled with the aging of the baby-boom （ 生育 高峰） generation, a longer life span means that the nation's elderly population is bound to expand significantly over the next 50 years. By , 25 percent of all Americans will be older than 65, up from 14 percent in 1995. The change poses profound questions for government and society, of course. But it also creates career opportunities in medicine and health professions, and in law and business as well. "In addition to the doctors, we're going to need more sociologists, biologists, urban planners and specialized lawyers," says Professor Edward Schneider of the University of Southern California's （USC） School of Gerontology （老年学）. Lawyers can specialize in "elder law," which covers everything from trusts and estates to nursing-home abuse and age discrimination （歧视）. Businessmen see huge opportunities in the elder market because the baby boomers, 74 million strong, are likely to be the wealthiest group of retirees in human history. "Any student who combines an expert knowledge in gerontology with, say, an MBA or law degree will have a license to print money," one professor says. Margarite Santos is a 21-year-old senior at USC． She began college as a biology major but found she was "really bored with bacteria." So she took a class in gerontology and discovered that she liked it. She says, "I did volunteer work in retirement homes and it was very satisfying." 69．"… Old is suddenly in" （Line 1, Pars. 1） most probably means"______". A．America has suddenly become a nation of old people B．gerontology has suddenly become popular C．more elderly professors are found on American campuses D．American colleges have realized the need of enrolling older students 70．With the aging of America, lawyers can benefit ______. A．from the adoption of the "elder law" B．from rendering special services to the elderly C．by enriching their professional knowledge D．by winning the trust of the elderly to promote their own interests 71．Why can businessmen make money in the emerging elder market? A．Retirees are more generous in spending money. B．They can employ more gerontologists. C．The elderly possess an enormous purchasing power. D．There are more elderly people working than before. 72．It can be seen from the passage that the expansion of America's elderly population ________. A．will provide good job opportunities in many areas B．will impose an unbearable burden on society C．may lead to nursing home abuse and age discrimination D．will create new fields of study in universities E Hundreds of thousands of people along the US coast from New Orleans to northwest Florida were told to leave their homes on September 14 as deadly Hurricane Ivan roared（咆哮）into the Gulf of Mexico after striking western Cuba. Ivan, one of the most powerful Atlantic hurricanes on records, killed at least 68 people on a weeklong attack through the Caribbean as it caused widespread damage in Grenada, Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. It ripped off roofs and downed trees and power lines when it roared past Cube on Monday night, but the island was spared a direct hit and there were on reported deaths. Ivan, carrying winds of up to 140 mph, threatened（威胁）an area of several hundred miles from the beaches of the Florida Panhandle west through coastal Alabama and Mississippi to the flood-prone, historic jazz city of New Orleans, where officials told residents to get out. Storm-weary Florida authorities（官方）, preparing for a third hurricane strike in just over a month, told about 543,000 people to leave from the mobile homes and flood-prone coastal areas in at least 10 counties in the western Panhandle. Oil companies called back thousands of worker from offshore rigs（钻塔）and shut down some offshore rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, home of about a quarter of US oil and gas u=output. Ivan’s menacing presence pushed up world oil prices, which rose by more than 50 cents a barrel. Its top winds were down from a peak of 165 mph on Saturday, when the US National Hurricane Center said it was the sixth strongest Atlantic hurricane on record. But its hurricane-force winds extended out 105 miles. 73．The main ideas of the passage is that______. A．Ivan caused serious damage to American B．Ivan will attack the south of America C．Ivan ended in America D．Ivan caused great damage to Florida 74．The underlined word “menacing” （in Paragraph 4） means “________”. A．frequent B．sudden C．coming D．frightening 75．According to the passage, we are sure that _______. A．Alabama isn’t a coastal state B．the oil from the Gulf of Mexico plays an important part in America C．the wind force of Ivan was the fifth strongest on record D．before Ivan arrives America, it has just attacked the Cayman Islands 第Ⅱ卷（共 45 分） 第一节 阅读表达（共 5 小题；每小题 3 分，满分 15 分） 阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后面的要求答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求 What I Hate I always listen to my friends’ problems and try to give them good advice, but there are some things that just get under my skin. My number-one annoyance is my friends who don’t get along with their parents. Left and right I hear “I hate my mom,” “I hate my dad,” “My parents are so stupid,” “They don’t care about me.” I think they don’t know what they’re saying! What kids need to understand is that regardless of whether you have a boyfriend, girlfriend, or even a best friend, your parents care about you the most. If that’s hard to believe, think about this: How did you get a roof over your head, a bed to sleep in, food to eat, and most of all, a place to call home? If that’s not enough, let’s continue. Look in your bedroom. Where did you get all that stuff? Your bed, the clothes in the closet, the blankets that keep you warm, or all the nonessentials. I bet most of it came from your parents. I’m sick of hearing how your parents do “nothing” for you. They probably do more than you do for yourself. Consider that next time you start criticizing your parents, who also gave you life. So many times I have heard friends complain about their dads. “He is so over-protective – he never lets me do anything.” I simply think, at least __________. Think about kids who don’t. My father died in an accident three years ago. I’d always been “daddy’s girl,” which makes things even harder to manage. So, please stop before you say “I hate,” especially if it’s about a parent, and think about those of us who aren’t lucky enough to have two caring parents. 76．What’s the main idea of the article? （Please answer within 30 words.） 77．Fill in the blank in the last but one paragraph with proper words. （Please answer within 10 words.） 78．Why does the writer name her article “What I Hate”? （Please answer within 30 words.） 79．Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one? No one else, whoever they are, looks after you so well as your parents, which children should be made to realize. 80．Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese. 第二节 书面表达: （共 15 分） 《21 世纪报 · 中学生版》（21st Century-School Edition）于 10 月 15 日创刊。请向你校 学生用英文写一篇介绍，刊登在校园专栏中。介绍应包括下面表格中的内容。（100 词左右； 开头已为你写好，不记入总词数。） 需要参考的词汇：column 栏目 entertainment 娱乐 报纸名称 《21 世纪报·中学生版》 出版周期 每周一期，星期一出版 栏目内容 1. 国内新闻 2. 体育和娱乐 3. 疑难问题解答 4. 各种有趣故事 特点及目的 语言浅显，图文并茂，在轻松阅读中扩大词汇量， 提高英语水平 Middle school boys and girls, good news for you--- first started publication on October 15,. 参考答案 1—5 CABBA 6—10 BCACC 11—15 CCAAC 16—ABCB 21—25 BADBC 26—30 ADBAA 31—35 BCCDD 36—40 DBCAC 41—45 DBCAD46—50 DCBAC 51—55 DCBAD 56---60 DCCAC 61---65 CADCB 66---70 CCAAB 71---75 AA BDB 76．What’s the main idea of the article?（Please answer within 30 words.） Our parents are people who care about us most though some of us may not realize that. We should love them dearly instead of hating them. （26 词） 77．Fill in the blank in the last but one paragraph with proper words. （Please answer within 10 words.） you have a dad 78．Why does the writer name her article “What I Hate”? （Please answer within 30 words.） On one hand, the title refers to the fact that some children often say “I hate my mom（or dad）”; on the other, it suggests that’s just what the writer hates. Because the article involves different opinions on the “What I hate” issue: some kids hate their parents while the writer just hates those children thinking like that. Because the writer wants to stress that it is the children themselves who say they hate their parents that are hateful, not their parents. 79．Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one? No one else, whoever they are, looks after you so well as your parents, which children should be made to realize. What kids need to understand is that regardless of whether you have a boyfriend, girlfriend, or even a best friend, your parents care about you the most. 80．Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese. 因此，恳请你在张口说“我恨”之前——尤其当恨的对象是父母的时候，打住话头去 想想我们中间那些没有双亲照料的不幸同伴。 书面表达 One possible version: Middle school boys and girls, good news for you--- first started publication on October 15,.

And… they’re having a birthday party tomorrow. Remember? M：Another birthday? Helen, look at the clock. It’s 8;45. Let’s go. We’re going to be late. 听第 9 段材料,,回答第 12 至 14 小题. W：You have a half day, a full day and a day and evening tour of London? M：That’s correct. W：Well, as we’re only here for a few days, I think perhaps we should take the full day and evening tour. Give my children the opportunity to see everything. M：Won’t that be a bit tiring for them? W：Yes, you’re right. It’s probably better if we don’t include them on the evening part of the program. M：Not the theatre and the dinner entertainment! W：Yes, that’s what I mean. The hotel will take care of them. M：Yes, I’m sure that can be arranged. W：Now, can you tell me what the cost will be? M：For the full tour? Seventy pounds per head. W：So that would be 140 pounds for myself and my husband. What about the children, is there any reduction for them? M：Certainly, we have half price for children and if they’re not going to the theatre or the dinner, I think we could let them have the full day tour for thirty pounds each. W：That’s fine. Thank you. 听第 10 段材料，回答第 15 至 17 题 When you first arrive in a Western country, you’ll probably find that constantly ringing telephones nearly drive you crazy. But you’ll get used to it after a while, and you’ll probably come to depend on phones almost as much as Westerners do. Many times in the course of a work day, or often in the evening as well, you may use telephones. In small places, like college towns, you might drop in on friends informally. But in big cities you never just show up at someone’s house, even a relative’s, without calling first. If you want to go to a film, you might call to see what’s playing, ask the time and check the prices; if you want to take a train, bus or plane, you can call to find out the time, prices and ticketing information; if you want to shop for clothes after work, you might call to ask how late the store is open before you travel all the way downtown. 听第 11 段材料，回答 18 至 Why do people play football? It’s a stupid game, and dangerous too. Twenty-two men fight for two hours to kick a ball into a net. They get more black eyes than goals. On dry, hard patches they break their bones. On muddy ones they sprain their muscles. Footballers must be mad. And why do people watch football? They must be mad too. They certainly shout and scream like mad men. In fact I’m afraid to go out when there’s football match. The crowds are so dangerous. I’d rather stay at home and watch TV. But what happens when I switch on? They’re showing a football match. So I turn on the radio. What do I hear? “The latest football scores” And what do I see when I open a newspaper? Photos of footballers, interviews with footballers, reports of football matches. Footballers and the heroes of the twentieth century. They’re rich and famous, Why? Because they can kick a ball around. How stupid! Everyone seems to be mad about football. But I’m not. Down with football, I say.
