When he was a college student, doctors discovered that he had a rare disease. This disease causes a gradual disintegration(分解)of the nerve cells in the brain cells that regulate voluntary muscle activity. Death almost always occurs within two or threeyears. Today Stephen Hawking cannot walk or speak. He cannot move his arms or his head. He cannot taste or smell anything. And yet this man is Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University, a position held by the famous scientist Isaac Newton in 1669. Hawking is often described as the greatest scientist since Albert Einstein, but to the world outside science, he is also known as the man who made scientific theory understandable. His book, A Brief History of Time, has soldover eight million copies. He says that since he does not have to think about his body or do any ofthe things other men have to worry about, such as washing the car or working in the yard, he can dedicate all of his time to thinking. This puts him in the perfect position to find the answer to the question that he has dedicated his life to. His question is: Is there a complete theory of the universe andeverything in it? Despite his tremendous physical disabilities, he has already made some very important discoveries about the origin of the universe, how the universe holds together, and how it will probably end. He has also been able to explain thesecrets of “black holes” in space. Now he is looking for a set ofrules that everything in our universe must obey. He calls it the Theory ofEverything. He thinks that someone will have found the answer within the next20 years. If Stephen Hawking is able to find his Theory of Everything, he will have given the world the opportunity to understand things that will change the whole nature of science and probably also the way we live. 16.Stephen Hawking will be 50 years old by 2017.

When something creates a sound wave in a room or an auditorium (礼 堂)listeners hear the sound wave directly from the source. They also hear the reflections as the sound bounces off the walls, floor, and ceiling . These are called the reflected wave or reverberant (反射的) sound, which can be heard even after the sound is no longer coming from the source . The reverberation time of an auditorium is determined by the volume or interior size of the auditorium .It is also determined by how well orhow poorly the walls, ceiling, floor, and contents of the room (including thepeople) absorb sound. There is no ideal reverberation time .The full-sound performance of music such as Wagner operas or Mahler symphonies should have along reverberation time. The light, rapid musical passages of Bach or Mozartneed a reverberation time somewhere between. Acoustic problems often are caused by poor auditorium design .Smooth , curved (弯曲的)reflecting surfaces create large reflections . Parallel (平行的)walls reflect sound back andforth, creating a rapid ,repetitive pulsing(有节奏的跳动)effect. Large pillars (柱)and corners can cause acoustic shadows as the sound waves try to pass around the object . Some of these problems can be solved by using absorbers and relectorsto change the reverberation time of a room .For example , hanging large reflectors , called clouds , over the performers will allow some sound frequencies to reflect and others to pass yo achieve a pleasing mixture ofsound. 31. This Passage is mainly about A sound waves and their acoustic effect . B the types of music orchestras play C walls of an auditorium D the design of an auditorium 32.Wagner operas and Mahler symphonies sound fuller in an auditorium with A a short reverberation time B a long reverberation time C an intermediate reverberation time D no reverberation time 33. This passage suggests that a good auditorium should A achieve a pleasing mixture of sound B get rid of all reflections C not have absorbers. D have smooth surfaces 34.Large pillars and corners may A make sound rich and full B be cures for sound problems C be sources of sound problems D function as well as clouds 35.The word “acoustic” in the last paragraph has something to do with A performance B Music C sound D noise 第二篇 Outside-the-classroom Learning Makes a Big Difference Putting a bunch of college students in charge of a $300,000 Dance Marathon, fundraiser surely sounds a bit risky.When you consider the fact that the money is supposed to be given to children in need of medical care, you might call theidea crazy. Most student leaders dont want to spend a large amount of time on something they care little about, said 22-year-old University of Florida student Darren Heitner. He was the Dance Marathons operations officer for two years. YvonneFangmeyer, director of the student organization office at the University of Wisconsin, conducted a survey in February of students involved in campus or ganizations. She said the desire for friendship was the most frequently cited reason for joining. At large universities like Fangmeyers, which has more than 40,000 students, the students first of all want to find a way to “belong in their own corner of campus“. KatieRowley, a Wisconsin senior, confirms the surveys findings.“ I wanted to make the campus feel smaller by joining an organization where I could not only get involved on campus but also find a group of friends.“ All of this talk of friendship, however, does not mean that students arent thinking about their resumes. “I think that a lot of people do join to fatten up their resume“, said Heitner.“At the beginning of my college career,I joined a few of these organizations, hoping to get a start in my leadership roles.“ But without passion student leaders can have a difficult time trying to weather the storms that come. For example, in April, several student organizations at Wisconsin teamed up 3 for an event designed to educate students about homelessness and poverty. Student leaders had to face the problem of solving disagreements, moving the event because of rainy weather, and dealing with the universitys complicated bureaucracy. “Outside-of the classroom learning really makes a big difference“, Fangmeyer said. 36. An extracurricular activity like raising a fund of $300,000 is risky because most student leaders_. A) are lazy B) are stupid C) are not rich enough D) will not take an interest in it 37.American students join campus organizations mostly for_. A)making a difference B)gaining experience C)building friendship D)improving their resumes 38. Whois Katie Rowley? _. A) Shes a senior professor B) Shes a senior student C) Shes a senior official D) Shes a senior citizen 39. What do student leaders need to carry an activity through to a successful end?_. A) Passion. B) Money. C) Power. D) Fame. 40. The phrasal verb fatten up in paragraph 6 could be best replaced by_. A)invent B)rewrite C) polish D)complete 第三篇 Covering the Cost All by Himself University life is in no way cheap in Canada. It costs Peter Kemp, a computer science major at the British Columbia Institute of Technology in Vancouver, C$18,000 ayear. Amazingly, the 21-year-old is covering the cost by himself. For the past three years, Kemp has done a range of part-time jobs to pay for his tuition and living expenses. Last semester alone, he worked five jobs for 32-40hours a week. Life is busy, but Kemp enjoys it. “Doing part-time jobs gives me economic independence,” said Kemp, who will begin his senior year this fall. “Having economic independence gives me the ability to take control of my life and make my own decisions,” said Kemp. “It has also helped me understand the value of money. Among Kemps five jobs last semester, two were on campus. For one, he helped maintain the universitys computer labs. For the other, he worked at the IT service desk to help students and teachers solve their computer problems. He also worked for a small company that develops GPS systems. This job paid him well at C$27 an hours. “These jobs made me put what Ive learned in university to practical use,” Kemp said.“I accomplished creative and imaginative tasks by applying my abilities to the work.” Good time management skills help Kemp balance work and study. Hes a top student in his class. And he will be the student association chairman for his department beginning next semester. Its a position that he has desired for a long time.“It will give me the opportunity to be the voice for my fellow students and make a difference,” says Kemp. “I believe one of the key secrets to juggling(应付)everything is to avoid putting off tasks. This can leave you stressed and reduce the quality of your work and health,” he said. “I often make a list of the things I need to do each day and rank them by their importance. The list helps me decide what task I should do first and when I should complete it. Remember to ask for help when you think you cant finish something on time, or cant finish it by yourself.” 41Who is Peter Kemp? AA computer student BAn American student CA French student DA British student 42 How did he manage to pay his tuition and living expenses? A He did a variety of part-time jobs. B He won a few scholarships. C He borrowed money from his parents.

A.it makes one understand that life is not easy. B.it helpsone know the value of money. C.it gives one the ability to control his or her life. D.it enable one to make his or her own decisions. 44 Kempis able to balance work and study due to his Astrong will power. Bexceptional intelligence. Cdesire to become a leader. Dgood management of time. 45The phrase “putting off” in Paragraph 7 means Aperforming. Bfulfilling. Cfinishing.

Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson signed the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) this week at the United Nations. (46 F) 2 The FCTC was developed by the World Health Organization and approved by members of the World Health Assembly， including the United States， last year.(47 D) 3 For instance, cigarettes sold in those countries would have to have health warnings on at least 30% of the front and back of every pack. (48 E)Italso requires bans on tobacco advertising, though there are some exceptions for countries like the United States, where the Constitution prohibits such an outright ban. 4 (49 C) The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco use kills nearly 5 million people worldwide every year. In the US alone, about 440,000 people die each year from tobacco-related illnesses; about one-third of all cancers in the US are caused by tobacco use. If current trends continue, WHO estimates, by 2025 tobacco will kill 10 million people each year. 5The treaty must be ratified by at least 40 countries before it can take effect.(50 B) A Tobacco stocks also perked up as investors discounted fears from litigation(诉讼) of the US. B So far，109 countries have signed it, and 12 have ratified it. C The impact of the treaty could be huge. D Countries that ratify it would be required to enact strict tobacco control policies. E The treaty calls for higher tobacco taxes, restrictions on smoking inpublic places, and more promotion of tobacco prevention and cessation programs. F The Senate must still approve the treaty before the US can implement itsprovisions. 第 6 部分：完形填空（第 5165 题，每题 1 分，共 15 分） 下面的短文有 15 处空白，请根据短文内容为每处空白确定 1 个最佳选项。 Freezing to Death for Beauty People in Beijing wear a lot of clothing during winter to fend off the cold.
