13、for culture, or simply want to have their photos taken in front of famous places. But most Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of thei

14、r winter in the dark because the days are so short and much of the rest of the year is in the rain. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean (地中海) resorts and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun.  The huge crowds mean lots of money for the

15、 economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy's 30,000 hotels are booked every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French Beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spain's long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every perso

16、n living in Spain.  But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, it's getting worse. The French can't figure out what to do with all the garbage left by camp

17、ers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.   None of this, however, is damaging anyone's fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they don't go there for clean water. They stand traffic jams and s

18、eem to like crowded beaches. They don't even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it's still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or else.21. It can be inferred from the passage that Europ

19、eans travel mostly for the reason that _.A. they want to see battlefields or religious shrines.B. they are interested in different cultures.C. they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites.D. they wish to escape from the cold, dark and rainy days back at home.22.

22、iving in Spain are tourists.C. every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist.D. every Spanish is visited by a tourist every year.BFor more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming home to an empty house. Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some

23、may hide. But all of them have something in common. They spend part of each day alone. They are called latchkey children. Theyre children who look after themselves while their parents work. And their bad condition has become a subject of concern.Lynette Long was once the headmistress of an elementar

24、y school. She said, “We had a school rule against wearing jewelry. A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys fastened. I was constantly telling them to put them inside their shirts. There were so many keys. It never came to my mind what they meant.” Slowly, she learned they were house ke

25、ys.She and her husband began talking to the children who had them. They learned of the impact(影響) working couples and single parents were having on their children. Fear is the biggest problem faced by children at home alone. One in each three latchkey children the Longs talked to reported being scar

26、ed. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety. The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. It might be in a shower stall, under a bed, or in a closet. The second is TV. Theyll often play it at high volume. Its hard to get statistics(統(tǒng)計資料) on latchkey c

27、hildren, the Longs learned. Most parents are slow to admit they leave their children alone.25. A feature(特征) shared by all “l(fā)atchkey” children is that they .A. take keys to school around their necks B. are also found in middle-class neighborhoods C. watch too much television during the dayD. suffer

28、problems from being left alone26. The main feeling these children have when they are at home by themselves is .A. tirednessB. fearC. lonelinessD. freedom27.

29、ficult to find out how many latchkey children there areD. latchkey children enjoy having such a large amount of time aloneCIt is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents. They say that their parents dont understand them. They often think that their parents a

30、re out of touch with modern ways, that they are too serious and too strict with their children, and that they seldom give their children a free hand. It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their childrens trust and they tend(傾向) to forget how they themselves felt when young. For exam

31、ple, young people like to act on the spot without much thinking. It is one of their ways to show that they have grown up and they can face any difficult situation. Old people worry more easily. Most of them plan things in advance, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to b

32、e upset by something unexpected. When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it. Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music. But they do not mean to cause any t

33、rouble; it is just that they feel cut off from the older peoples world, into which they have not yet been accepted. Thats why young people want to make a new culture of their own, and if their parents dont like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young

34、people extremely happy. Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do. All you want is to be left alone and do what you like. It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents control. If yo

35、u prefer to control your life, youd better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you. If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do. 28. According to the text, young people prefer to _. A. ask for

Merely bookish, I lacked a point of view when I read. Rather, I read in order to get a point of view. I sea

40、rched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themesanything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. When one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenth-grade English class that a person could not have a “complicated (復(fù)雜的) idea” until he had read at least two

41、thousand books, I heard the words without recognizing either its irony (嘲諷) or its very complicated truth. I merely determined to make a list of all the books I had ever read. Strict with myself, I included only once a title I might have read several times. (How, after all, could one read a book mor

42、e than once?) And I included only those books over a hundred pages in length. (Could anything shorter be a book?) There was yet another high school list I made. One day I came across a newspaper article about an English professor at a nearby state college. The article had a list of the “hundred most

43、 important books of Western Civilization. ” “More than anything else in my life, ” the professor told the reporter with finality, “ these books have made me all that I am. ” That was the kind of words I couldnt ignore (忽視). I kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles.

44、 Most books, of course, I hardly understood. While reading Platos The Republic, for example, I needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. However, with the special patience and superstition (迷信) of a schoolboy, I looked at every word of the text.

45、 And by the time I reached the last word, pleased, I persuaded myself that I had read The Republic, and seriously crossed Plato off my list.32. On hearing the teachers suggestion of reading, the writer thought_.A. students ought to make a list of the books they had read B. one must read as many book

46、s as possible C. it was impossible for one to read two thousand booksD. a student should not have a complicated idea 33. While at high school, the writer_.A. only read books over 100 pages B. learned to educate himselfC. had plans for reading D. read only one book several times34. The underlined phr

47、ase “with finality” probably means_ .A. clearly B. pleasantly     C. proudly D. firmly 35. The writers purpose in mentioning The Republic is to_.A. show that he read the books blindly though they were hard to understand B. describe why he seriously crossed it off the listC.

48、explain why it was included in the list D. prove that he understood most of it because he had looked at every word第二節(jié) 七選五：根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項，選項中 有兩項為多余選項。（共5小題，每小題2 分，共10分）Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading c

49、omprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently. _ 36   First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible

50、. _37_  The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealM. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station. Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated (受阻)by limited understanding. _

51、38_     Here is some of the advice I give my students:Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything. Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times. Do not translate everything into your native language. _39_ Don&#

52、39;t concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas. Listen to something you enjoy.  I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn't understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This

53、method usually resulted in confusion. 40 Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn't pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said. A.

54、 But you can't follow a native English speaker at all! B. What should you do? C. But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!D. However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.E. So, what you need to do is to find listening resources.F. Then, after the first s

55、ix months, I discovered two extremely important facts.G. Listen for the general idea of the conversation.第三部分基礎(chǔ)知識應(yīng)用(共兩節(jié)，滿分45分)第一節(jié) 完形填空（共20題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分）閱讀下面短文，掌握其大意，從每題所給的A，四個選項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將其涂黑。A lady wanted a birthday gift from her husband.
