During the night, I heard strange baby-like 31 (cry). Islanders told me 32 was stray (迷路的；离群的) cats that were calling in the wild. Well, it was strange to me to see so many stray cats on such a small island. So I asked the locals 33 more details. Then they told me 34 surprising and sad story. The island is isolated in the sea and originally had no cats. Ten yers ago, when the island was developed 35 a national park, tourists began to swarm in. These visitors from all parts of the country brought in money, but the rubbish they left 36 (draw) more and more rats onto the island. Islanders therefore introduced the cats in order to get rid of the rats. _37 when the number of rats decreased, the number of cats increased, and the cats began to prey on birds, chickens, and fish. For more than a month after that, my mind was haunted (回响) by the plaintive crying. So now, 38 I travel, I always hear in mind what I should bring in, 39 I dont want to bring anything that is strange, 40 (need) or even dangerous to my destination.III. 阅读(共两节，满分40分)第一节 阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从媒体所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AIn Stockholm, the Swedish Academy has chosen the British author Doris Lessing for the 2007 Nobel Prize in Literature.The selection of Doris Lessing for a Nobel was popular among the hundreds of journalists gathered for the announcement in Stockholm.Permanent Secretary of the Swedish Academy Horace Engdahl said with skepticism, fire and visionary power Lessing has subjected a divided civilization to scrutiny.Doris Lessing was born in 1919 in Persia - modern-day Iran - to British parents, moving as a child with her family to southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, where she stayed in school only to the age of 14.A year after moving to London, she published her first novel in 1950. The Grass is Singing examines unbridgeable racial conflict in colonial Africa through the eyes of a white farmers wife and her black servant.A member of the British Communist Party during the 1950s and a campaigner against nuclear arms and South African apartheid, Lessing was for years banned from that country and from Rhodesia.Her literary breakthrough came in 1962 with publication of The Golden Notebook, seen by many, though not necessarily Lessing, as a pioneering work of modern feminism. A disjointed study of the mind of the main character, Anna Wulf, the novel explores her thoughts about Africa, politics and communism, relationships with men and sex, and Jungian analysis and dream interpretation.Lessings themes shifted to psychology in her works from the 1960s, and by the 1970s she was fascinated with the Islamic mystic tradition of Sufism. Her turn toward science fiction with the Canopus series in the early 1980s was not warmly received by traditionalist critics, but she has continued to win new readers and numerous literary awards, including the David Cohen British Literary Prize and the Companion of Honour from the Royal Society of Literature, both in 2001.Following the announcement, the Horace Engdahl told VOA why he was personally so pleased with Lessings selection.She is one of the truly great writers - of novels, short stories, fiction and non-fiction, Engdahl said. She is one of the few writers who have had the courage to uphold the principle of equality between the male and female experience, and she has given the impulse to numbers of other women writers. And she is really the mother of a school that is one of the most important in our contemporary literature.At 87, Doris lessing is the oldest Nobel Literature laureate since the first prizes were awarded in 1901. Each Nobel Prize is this year accompanied by a check for approximately $1.4 million.41. How old was Doris Lessing when she published her first novel?A. 14 B. 26 C. 31 D. 5042.

Journalists are very interested in the election of Doris Lessings for Nobel Prize.B. Doris Lessing regard The Golden Notes as a pioneering work of feminism.C.

The oldest Nobel Prize winnerD. 2007 Nobel Prize announced in StockholmBCharles Dickens (1812-1870), the great nineteenth century English novelist, was born near Portsmouth. His father ran heavily into debt and when he was twelve, he had to go and work in a factory for making boot polish. The only formal education he received was a two-year schooling at a school for poor children. In fact, he had to teach himself all he knew. He worked for a time as junior clerk in a lawyers office. After that, he worked as a reporter in the law courts, and later in parliament, for London newspapers. His career as a writer of fiction began in 1833 with short stories and essays in periodicals, and in 1837 his comic novel The Pickwick Papers made him the most popular author at his time in England.He was a great observer of people and their places because he was attracted by life and conditions in mid-nineteenth century London. He wrote 19 novels all his life and in many of them, Dickens gave a realistic picture of all classes of England society, showing deep sympathy for the poor and unfortunate, exposing the injustice and inhumanity of the bourgeoisie.Many of his novels like Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Nicholas Nickleby, Great Expectations, A Tale of Two Cities and so on drew attention to the unsatisfactory social conditions that existed in England over a hundred years ago.Dickens criticized capitalist society from the point of view of bourgeois humanism. He wished to see improvement in the living conditions of the poor, but failed to find any effective means to achieve that end.46. Dickens only received a little formal education because_.A. he wanted to teach himselfB. he wanted to work and made a lot of money C. he was too poor to afford any more formal educationD. he wanted some working experiences to be a novelist47.

Dickens had a miserable childhood B. Dickens tried many different jobs before he became a professional writerC. Dickens wrote many novels but only some of them are popularD. Dickens criticized capitalist society and helped to improve the living conditions of the poorCMen have always believed that they are smarter than women. Now, a study has found that while this is certainly true, men also have to deal with the fact that they are also more stupid than the fairer sex.In the study, scientists measured the IQ of 2500 brothers and sisters and they found an uneven number of men not only in the top two percent, but also in the bottom two percent.The studys participants were tested on science, math, English and mechanical abilities.Though there were twice as many men as women in the smartest group, there were also twice as many men among the dolts.The aggregate scores of men and women were similar.One of the studys authors, psychology professor Timothy Bates, said that the phenomenon may be because men have always been expected to be high achievers and women have been restricted to spend more time taking care of their home.The female developmental program may be tilted more towards ensuring survival and the safety of the middle ground., the Daily Mail quoted Professor Bates, of Edinburgh University, as saying.The research tallies with past results that men were more likely than women to receive first class University degrees or thirds and women secured the seconds.It has been said that men are more ready to take risk when it comes to academics. Women have always found to be steadier in their learning.A past study has shown that women are securing more firsts and seconds, while men are continuing to receive more thirds.The argument for the change is that the increase of coursework at the cost of exams favors womens steady approach.51. The purpose of the passage is to tell us that _. A. man are smarter then women B. man are more stupid the women C. a new fact about the IQ of men and women has been foundD. men are more likely to receive first class university degrees52.
