阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中（A，B，C，D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

Tears are nature’s way of making us feel more comfortable. When our eyes is made uncomfortable by some small pieces of pollution , or when we are cutting onions, or when we are exhausted and “red-eyes” from over work and late hours, tears form in our eyes to clean and refresh them.

Tears are also a sign of strong emotion. We cry when we are sad and we cry when we are happy.

And tears seem to be uniquely human. We know that animals also experience emotion fear, pleasure, loneliness, but they do not shed (流) tears.

Biologically speaking, tears are actually drops of saline fluid, which is a little bit salty, produced by a gland (腺) in the body. Because salt is an important component, tears may actually constitute the most conclusive evidence that the human animal is the end product of a long evolutionary process that began in the sea.

And it is clear that, in addition to the emotional benefits, the shedding of tears has a specific biological function as well. Through tears, we can eliminate from our body certain chemicals which build up in response to stress and create a chemical imbalance in the body. Crying actually makes us feel better by correcting that imbalance and making us feel good again. And thus the emotional and the biological functions of tears merge (合并) into one and make us even more “human” than we would otherwise be.

56. According to the passage, human beings may have originated in ____.

A. the sea A. Biological.

B. the salt B. Emotional.

C. chemicals C. Political.

D. animals D. Chemical.

57. Which of the following is NOT a function of tears?

58. According to the article, which of the following is unique to humans?

A. The feeling of loneliness. C. The ability to shed tears. A. add

B. produce

B. The state of feeling good. D. The feeling of fear. C. replace

D. remove

59. The underlined word “eliminate” probably means ____. 60. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A. Tears are a sign of strong emotion. B. Tears are always making us feel more comfortable. C. Tears are uniquely human. D. Tears have certain biological function.

B

The railroad industry could not have grown as large as it did without steel. The first rails were made of iron. But iron rails were not strong enough to support heavy trains running at a high speed. Railroad officials wanted to replace them with steel rails because steel was ten or fifteen times stronger and lasted twenty times longer. Before the 1870s, however, steel was too expensive to be widely used. It was made by a slow and expensive process of heating, stirring, and reheating

iron ore (矿石).

Then the inventor Henry Bessemer discovered that directing a blast of air at melted iron in a furnace (熔炉) would burn out the impurities (杂质) that made the iron brittle (易脆). As the air shot through the furnace, the bubbling metal would erupt (喷发) in showers of sparks. When the fire cooled, the metal had been changed, or converted, to steel. The Bessemer converter made possible the mass production of steel, now three to five tons of iron could be changed into steel in a matter of minutes.

Just when the demand for more and more steel developed, prospectors discovered huge new deposits (矿床) of iron ore in the Mesabi Range, a 120-mile-long region in Minnesota near Lake Superior. The Mesabi deposits were so near the surface that they could be mined with steam shovels.

Barges and steamers carried the iron ore through Lake Superior to deposits on the southern shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Erie. With dizzying speed Gary, Indiana and Toledo, Youngstown, and Cleveland, Ohio, became major steel manufacturing centers. Pittsburgh was the greatest steel city of all.

61. The best title for the passage is ____.

A. The railroad Industry C. Changing Iron into Steel possible?

A. It directed air at melted iron in furnace, removing all impurities. B. It slowly heated iron ore, then stirred it and heated it again.

C. It changed iron ore into iron, which was a substitute (替代物) for steel. D. It could be quickly found deposits of iron ore under the ground.

A. a decline in the railroad industry B. a revolution in the industrial world C. an increase in the price of steel D. a feeling of discontent among steel workers

C

For new countries joining the European Union, and older ones getting used to their burgundy passports, becoming “Europeans” is a bit like marrying into a large, eccentric (古怪的) family. Europeans have a lot in common but it is their differences, not their similarities, which attract the attention of sociologists (社会学家) and market researchers, that are more interesting.

35% of Germans live alone; but only 9% of Spaniards. Perhaps this explains why Spaniards lead Europe in the habit of going out for a drink.

The British attend more adult evening classes than anyone else in Europe, and the Belgians least. So it can’t just be the dark evenings. There are no figures on how many Britons go for a drink afterwards. If there were, they might be up at the top with Spain!

The British think black cats are lucky. Every other European country regards them unlucky.

B. Famous Inventors

D. Steel Manufacturing Centers

62. According to the passage, how did the Bessemer method make the mass production of steel

63. It can be inferred from the passage that the mass production of steel caused ____.

The Dutch and Germans are the greatest caravanners（活动房居住者）, but the Germans like bigger beds in their caravans.

The French are the most athletic Europeans. Next come the Dutch. But the Belgians, just over the border, play fewest sports.

The Germans spend twice as much on heating as the Spaniards. Well, of course they do; it’s colder.

Dutch husbands do the household shopping a lot more often than Italians or Spaniards. The French are the champion public transport commuters （使用月票者）of Europe. If you hate commuting, go and live in the Netherlands, where journeys to work are shorter than anywhere else.

The amount of direct eye-contact between strangers is three times greater among Spaniards than it is among the British or Swedish. Sharing a lift is torture (折磨) for both the British and the Swedish. No European countries really agree with any other about how to make good coffee. All of them are different.

There are exceptions to all these rules. Deal with them in the spirit of my 8-year-old daughter. “If you don’t understand each other’s language, you just laugh a lot, and eat, and point at things.” . If you work or live in Belgium, you ____.

A. will have to change your living places often B. will seldom see people playing sports C. will not get used to its cold weather D. will be invited to go for a drink frequently A. The British and the Swedish care about their safety most. B. The British and the Swedish like to appear gentle and smart. C. The British and the Swedish hate to look at each other face to face. D. The British and the Swedish enjoy a richer life than others.

A. his daughter knows well how to understand foreigners in unfamiliar situations B. Europeans actually share the same culture even if they have different languages C. being a European, you will have no living trouble at all in the European Union D. there are differences between European countries, but don’t take it too serious

D

The latest United Nations report on the AIDS spread paints a sad picture. It concludes that the regions of the world most affected by AIDS will experience rapid increases in deaths among young adults. This will have serious social and economic results.

The spread of AIDS and the virus that causes it, HIV, is particularly destructive in Africa. It is estimated that in sub-Saharan Africa, over twenty-four million adults and children are now living with HIV. In sixteen sub-Saharan countries, according to the UN, at least ten percent of the people between the age of fifteen and forty-nine are HIV positive (阳性). In South Africa and

65. What does “Sharing a lift is torture for both the British and the Swedish” mean?

66. In the last paragraph, the author wants to express his idea that ____.

蓝天家教网 http://www.ltjiajiao.com 伴您快乐成长

Zimbabwe, half the people between those ages may die of AIDS. In Botswana, about one in three adults is infected, and some two-thirds of the country’s fifteen-year-old boys may die before they grow up.

As a result, agriculture, business, education, and health care are already suffering serious loses. The United States is spending millions of dollars to do it. Funding is being used for prevention campaigns and to make AIDS treatment more affordable. Money is also being used to reduce mother-to-child transmission rates; support home and community based care, and provide care for children orphaned by AIDS. The Peace Corps will soon make an all out effort to bring AIDS education to the countries most at risk. It is important that the governments and citizens of those nations most affected by AIDS do their part to fight against it. Some, like Senegal and Uganda, have already begun programs for disease prevention. These countries are experiencing falling or stable (稳定) HIV rates and less suffering. But for other nations, much remains to be done.

67. The report shows that ____.

A. more places are affected by AIDS C. more young adults are dying of AIDS

B. more deaths are caused by AIDS

D. the spread of AIDS can never be controlled

69. The money used to fight against AIDS doesn’t include that for ____.

A. prevention and treatment

C. home and community based care A. likely to be affected by AIDS C. poor in medical care

A. Sixteen sub-Saharan countries C. Botswana

B. reduction of mother-to-child transmission D. orphans infected by AIDS B. dangerous D. poor in education

B. South Africa and Zimbabwe D. Senegal and Uganda E

Learning English can sometimes seem like a difficult thing to do—the grammar can be very confusing and spoken English seems to be changing all the time. But, it is not as hard as it seems and the most important thing for any learner to achieve is confidence with the language. If students are nervous about using English or worried about making mistakes, they won’t feel like practicing, and without practice they cannot make progress. General English courses aim to give students that confidence. Whether students are complete beginners or advanced learners, schools

want them to be confident about using English by the time they finish their course. To do this, schools have developed General English courses which combine a range of different teaching methods.

In class, teachers encourage students to work together so that they can practice new words and grammar. They always try and make this classwork interesting and fun. Many schools are equipped with language laboratories and libraries where students can work on their own with audio tapes, video and computers. And outside the classroom, the learning continues, where students are meeting together socially, visiting local attractions, or at home with a host family.

Most schools offer General English courses which are either part time—usually 15 hours per week or full time, which can be as much as 40 hours. This type of course is available all year round. Students can normally start a General English courses every Monday , and can study for as long as they like. Other types of General English courses may last a minimum umber of days or weeks. Some of the most popular General English courses are available during the summer holiday period. These are usually part time, and schools organize social activities for students in their free time. Some schools offer special activities like sports.

General English courses also give students the chance to discover new parts of Britain. With so many schools offering this type of course, students can go almost anywhere, and while they are studying, they will have a chance to explore the countryside or towns and meet local people. Wherever they go in Britain, they are assured high quality courses. 72. If English learners are nervous about using English, ____.

A. they won’t feel like practicing

B. they won’t go to English

Hello, teachers and schoolmates! Today I am going to talk about information in the modern world. Information in the modern world is extremely important, because the success of many fields depends on getting the newest information. Meanwhile, a decision fails often because of having no necessary information. Having realizing that, you may want to know how we can get enough information. There are many ways of getting information. For example, in order to know the news of the world, we can read the newspapers or magazines and learn of something about the events happening in sports, politics, even the weather. We can also watch TV or listen to the radio or get on the Internet. I think in the future, the information will be more and more important. If you don’t have it, you will feel difficult to do anything, just like a blind person!

That’s all. Thank you.
