They say that persons with dyslexia use information in a different way. One of the worlds great thinkers and scientists Albert Einstein was dyslexic. Einstein said that he never thought in words the way that most people do. He said that he thought in pictures instead. The American inventor Thomas Edison was also dyslexic. Dyslexia first was recognized in Europe and the United States more than 80 years ago. Many years passed before doctors discovered that persons with the disorder were not mentally slow or disabled. The doctors found that the brains of persons with dyslexia are different. In most people, the left side of the brainthe part that controls languageis larger than the right side. In persons with dyslexia, the right side of the brain is bigger. Doctors are not sure what causes this difference. However, research has shown that dyslexia is more common in males than in females, and it is found more often in persons who are left-handed. No one knows the cause of dyslexia, but some scientists believe that it may result from chemical changes in a babys body long before it is born. They are trying to find ways to teach persons with dyslexia. Dyslexic persons think differently and need special kinds of teaching help. After they have solved their problems with language, they often show themselves to be especially intelligent or creative.16.One out of five American children suffers from dyslexia.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned17.Many great thinkers and scientists in the world are dyslexic.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned18.The first cases of dyslexia in Europe were discovered less than a century ago.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned19.The left side of the brain in a dyslexic person is bigger than the right side.A.RightB.Wrong C.Not mentioned20.Generally speaking, dyslexia is more common in left-handed males than in right-handed females.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned21.It is believed that dyslexia is related to the bad habits of a babys mother.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned22.Dyslexic people often turn out to be intelligent or creative once they have learned to handle language properly.A.RightB.WrongC.Not mentioned第3部分：概括大意与完成子（第2330题，每题1分，共8分）阅读下面这篇短文，短文后有2项测试任务：（1）第2326题要求从所给的6个选项中为第25段每段选择1个正确的小标题；（2）第2730题要求从所给的6个选项中选择4个正确选项，分别完成每个句子。请将答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。Stanford University 1.Stanford University, famous as one of northern Californias several institutions of higher learning, is sometimes called “the Harvard of the West”. The closeness of Stanford to San Francisco, a city thirty-two miles to the north, gives the university a decidedly cosmopolitan flavor.2.The students are enrolled mainly from the western United States. But most of the fifty states send students to Stanford, and many foreign students study here, as well. And standards for admission remain high. Young men and women are selected to enter the university from the upper fifteen percent of their high school classes.3.Not only because of the high caliber of its students but also because of the desirable location and climate, Stanford has attracted to its faculty some of the worlds most respected scholars. The university staff has included many Nobel Prize winners such as Dr. Author Kornberg and Dr. Joshua Lederberg in medicine, and Dr. Paul J. Flory and Dr. Linus Pauling in chemistry. The Russian novelist Aleksandr Solzhenistsyn has been in residence. Stanfords undergraduate school of engineering and its graduate schools of business, law, and medicine are especially well-regarded.4.What is student life like on “ The Farm”? Culturally, the campus is a magnet for both students and citizens of nearby communities. Plays, concerts, and operas are performed in the universitys several auditoriums and in its outdoor theater, where graduations are also held. Several film series are presented during the school year. Guest lecturers from public and academic life frequently appear on campus. In the evenings, many students gather to socialize in the Student Unions coffee house; here the beverages and the atmosphere both have a decidedly European flavor. For the sports-minded, the Stanford campus offers highly developed athletic facilities. Team sports, swimming, and track and field activity are all very much part of the Stanford picture. So are bicycling and jogging.5.In addition to financial support from alumni, Stanford receives grants from the government and from private philanthropic foundations. In recent years, government grants have made possible advanced studies in the fields of history, psychology, education, and atomic energy. At presents Stanford is carrying out an ambitious building program, financed in part by the Ford Foundations 25 million grant. Recently added to the campus are a new physics building, new school of business, new graduate school of law, new student union, and undergraduate library.23.Paragraph 2 24.Paragraph 3 25.Paragraph 4 26.Paragraph 5 A.Colorful life on the campusB.Intelligent student body C.School administrationD.Distinguished facultyE.Substantial financial supportF.The Harvard of the West27.Those high school graduates who can enter Stanford University .28.Many professors like to teach in this university partly because here .29.On the faculty of the university there are.30.Financial support from both private organizations and the government has made possible .A.they can find the best studentsB.the universitys academic advancement and physical extensionC.some of the most distinguished scholars of the worldD.where a sports meet is held every yearE.must have been the top students in their classF.must be hardworking第4部分：阅读理解（第3145题，每题3分，共45分）下面有3篇短文，每篇短文有5道题，每道题后面都有4个选项。请仔细阅读短文并根据短文回答其后面的问题，从4个选项中选择1个最佳答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。第一篇The Sea What do you know about the sea? We know that it looks very pretty when the sun is shining on it. We also know that it can be very rough when there is a strong wind. What other things do we know about it?The first thing to remember is that the sea is very big. When you look at the map of the world you will find there is more water than land. The sea covers three quarters of the world.The sea is also very deep in some places. It is not deep everywhere. Some parts of the sea are very shallow. But in some places the depth of the sea is very great. There is one spot, near Japan, where the sea is nearly 11 kilometers deep! The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometers high. If that mountain were put into the sea at that place, there would be 2 kilometers of water above it! What a deep place!If you have swum in the sea, you know that it is salty. You can taste the salt. Rivers, which flow into the sea, carry salt from the land into the sea. Some parts of the sea are more salty than other parts. There is one sea, called the Dead Sea, which is very salty. It is so salty that swimmers cannot sink! Fish cannot live in the Dead Sea!In most parts of the sea, there are plenty of fishes and plants. Some live near the top of the sea. Others live deep down. There are also millions of tiny living things that float in the sea. These floating things are so small that it is hard to see them. Many fish live by eating these.The sea can be very cold. Divers, who go deep down in the sea, know this. On the top the water may be warm. When the diver goes downwards, the water above presses down on him. It squeezes him. Then the diver has to wear clothes made of metal. But he cannot go very deep. Some people who wanted to go very deep used a very strong diving ship! They went down to the deepest part of the sea in it. They went down to a depth of eleven kilometers!31.When does the sea look beautiful?A.When it is calmB.When the weather is fineC.When there is a strong windD.When there is a storm32.How much of the earths surface does land cover?A.15% B.25%C.30% D.45%33.Why does the author cite the sea somewhere near Japan?A.To show that the sea in some places is very deepB.To show that the sea in some places is very shallowC.To show that its depth is 9 kilometers greater than the height of the highest mountainD.To show that its depth is 11 kilometers greater than the height of the highest mountain34.Which of the following statements about the Dead Sea is NOT true?A.There are plenty of fishes in itB.It is a safe place for swimmersC.It is extremely saltyD.No fish can be found in it35.Why cant people go very deep in the sea?A.Because the deepest part of the sea is very coldB.Because the deepest part of the sea is very roughC.Because the pressure of water at great depths is unendurableD.Because the deepest part of the sea is very salty第二篇Modern Sun WorshippersPeople travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on. Northern 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 their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year in the rain. This is the reason the Mediterranean has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun!The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italys 30,000 hotels are booked solid every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks and roadsides. Spains long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person 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, its getting worse. The French cant figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.None of this, however, is spoiling anyones fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they dont go there for clean water and solitude. They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They dont even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, its still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London or Oslo.36.The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason thatA.they want to see historic remains or religious spotsB.they are interested in different cultural traditions and social customC.they would like to take pictures in front of famous sitesD.they wish to escape from the cold, dark and rainy days back at home37.In paragraph 2, cities like London, Copenhagen and Amsterdam are mentionedA.to show that they are not good cities in terms of geography and climateB.to tell us how wealthy their residents areC.to suggest that these cities lack places of historic interest and scenic beautyD.to prove that they have got more tourism than they can handle. 38.According to the passage, which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the others?A.ItalyB.SpainC.FranceD.Greece39.The latter half of the last sentence in paragraph 3, i.e. “ or one tourist for every person living in Spain” meansA.all the 37 million people living in Spain are touristsB.every year almost as many tourists visit Spain as there are people living in that countryC.every person living in Spain has to take care of a touristD.every Spanish is visited by a tourist every year40.According to the passage, which of the following factors might spoil the tourists fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?A.Polluted waterB.Crowded busesC.Traffic jamsD.Rainy weather.第三篇 New York - The Melting PotRecently the Department of Planning of New York issued a report which laid bare a full scale of change of the city. In 1970, 18 percent of the citys population was foreign-born. By 1995, the figure had risen to 33 percent, and another 20 percent were the US-born offsprings of immigrants. So immigrants and their children now form a majority of the citys population.Who are these New Yorkers? Why do they come here? Where are they from? ( OK, time to drop the “they”. Im one of them. ) The last question at least is easy to answer: we come from everywhere. In the list of the top 20 source nations of those sending immigrants to New York between 1990 and 1994 are six countries in Asia, five in the Caribbean, four in Latin America, three in Europe, plus Israel and the former Soviet Union. And when we immigrants get here we roll up our sleeves. “ If you are not ready to work when you get to New York,” says a friend of mine, “ youd better hit the road.”The mayor of New York once said, “ Immigration continues to shape the unique character and drive the economic engine of New York City.” He believes that immigrants are at the heart of what makes New York great. In Europe, by contrast, it is much more common to hear politicians worry about the loss of “unity” that immigration brings to their societies. In the quarter century since 1970, the United States admitted about 12.5 million legal immigrants, and has absorbed them into its social structures with an ease beyond the imagination of other nations. Since these immigrants are purposeful and hard-working, they will help America to make a fresh start in the next century. 1.The report issued by the Department of Planning of New YorkA.put forward ways to control New Yorks populationB.concerned itself with the growth of New Yorks populationC.studied the structure of New Yorks populationD.suggested ways to increase New Yorks population2.According to the second paragraph, which of the following is true of the immigrants in New York?A.One cannot find his place in New York unless he is ready to workB.They found life in New York harder than in their own countriesC.Most of them have difficulty finding jobsD.One can live on welfare if he does not want to work3.The mayor of New York considers immigration to beA.a big problem in the management of the cityB.a push needed to develop the cityC.a cause of disintegration of the citys social structureD.an obstacle to the development of the city4.Where are the new New Yorkers from?A.AsiaB.EuropeC.All over the worldD.Latin America.5.What is the authors attitude towards immigration to New York?A.NegativeB.Worried C.IndifferentD.Positive.第5部分：补全短文（第4650题，每题2分，共10分） 阅读下面的短文，文章中有5处空白，文章后面有6组文字，请根据文章的内容选择5组文字，将其分别放回文章原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。请将答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。The Building of the PyramidsThe oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. _(1)_. These are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the “ Step” pyramid and the “Bent” pyramid. Some of the pyramids still look much the same as they must have done when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings. _(2)_. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last for ever. _(3)_. However, the
