morning,everyone.Thank you for coming along.Im afraid there is a serious matter which Im hoping we can clear up as soon as possible.Last night,someone broke into the staff room and a number of things are missing.I have already spoken to the police and I trust things will go no further.The police believe that whoever is responsible for the theft is probably a member of this college.Now,the things that are missing.First of all,a valuable clock which was presented to the college over a hundred years ago has disappeared.The clock cannot easily be sold as it has the name of the college on the front and would immediately be recognized.A painting of the college by Arnolfini has also been stolen,and again this would be easily recognized as it shows the main college buildings.Now,whoever took these objects also broke open the cupboard in the staff room and took some antique glasses,eight altogether.These were given to the college many years ago by another director.They could easily get broken and although they were insured they could not be replaced.Im glad to say the bottles of drink were not removed.Not surprisingly,both the TV and video recorder have been taken.But perhaps the most worrying of all,is the fact that the end-of-term examination papers have been stolen from a filing cabinet.If these papers cannot be marked,everyone in the college will suffer.Now if you can help,or if you have seen or heard anything which.17.Who could the speaker most probably be?A.A police officer.B.A college director.C.A person who saw the theft.答案:B18.Why cant the clock be sold easily?A.It isnt valuable.B.It has an obvious mark.C.It doesnt work.答案:B19.How did the college get the antique glasses?A.They were given by a director.B.They were presented by Arnolfini.C.The college bought it from the market.答案:A20.Which stolen object worries the speaker most?A.The TV and video recorder.B.A painting of the college.C.Examination papers.答案:C第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。AWhen I was young,I had an old neighbour named Dr.Gibbs.He didnt look like any doctor Id ever known.He never shouted at us for playing in his yard.I remembered him as a neighbour who was nicer than anyone else in the neighbourhood.When Dr.Gibbs was happy,he was planting trees.And his lifes goal was to make it a forest.Dr.Gibbs had some interesting theories about planting.He talked about trees that werent watered would grow deep roots in search of water.So he never watered his trees.He planted an oak(橡树) and,instead of watering it every morning,he beat it with the rolled-up newspaper.I asked him why he did that,and he said it was to get the trees attention.Dr.Gibbs died a couple of years.Every now and then,I walk by his house and look at the trees that he planted twenty-five years ago.Theyre very strong now.I planted a couple of trees a few years later.I watered them regularly and took good care of them.Whenever a cold wind blows,they shake their leaves and branches.The funny thing about those trees of Dr.Gibbs was that difficulty seemed to help them in ways comfort and ease never could.21.What

that Moby Dick is considered one of the greatest novels ever written.However,it might surprise you to find out Herman Melville was not always a highly regarded author.Melvilles first two novels,Typee and Omoo,were widely read and financially successfully.They were both exciting tales of adventures at sea and experiences with people in foreign lands.Melville became quite famous.However,upon the publication of his third book,Mardi,Melvilles popularity began to weaken.He was no longer interested in telling tales of pure adventure,and his writing took on a style that alienated(使疏远) the general reading public of his time.Melville published Moby Dick in October of 1851.It was an original novel,combining aspects of sociology and philosophy,which confused readers by its complex symbolism.The book sold poorly.Melvilles next book,Pierre,was almost completely ignored by the public.Debt frustration and ill health finally forced Melville to take a low-paying job as a customs inspector.Eventually,Melville abandoned prose(散文) and began to write poetry.The Civil War is the main subject of Melvilles poetry.He and his brother made a trip to the front line,and he published a book of poems,Battle-Pieces and Aspects of War,based on this experience.Melville died in 1891 at the age of 72.At this point,his work had been completely forgotten by the public.His talent was to go unrecognized for the next thirty years.Then,in 1920s,his reputation began to improve as critics and readers rediscovered his work.Today Moby Dick is one of the best-known novels ever penned by an American author.28.What were Melvilles first two novels mainly about?A.His travel experience.B.His successful communication skills.C.Adventurous experiences in the front line.D.Adventurous voyages and foreign experiences.答案:D解析:细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“They were both exciting tales of adventures at sea and experiences with people in foreign lands.”可以得出答案。29.Why didnt his third novel interest people of his time?A.Because his tales and writing style didnt suit the taste of general readers.B.Because this novel was not original.C.Because the general readers ignored him.D.Because his work was completely forgotten by the public.答案:A解析:推理判断题。根据第二段第四句以及最后一句中的“.his writing took on a style that alienated(使疏远) the general reading public of his time.”可知人们对他的第三本小说不感兴趣,是因为它的风格不适合普通读者的口味。故答案为A项。30.We can learn from the text that Moby Dick.A.sold a little better than PierreB.was Melvilles favorite novelC.was copied from other booksD.made Melville popular again答案:A解析:推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“Melvilles next book,Pierre,was almost completely ignored by the public.”可知Pierre不受读者的欢迎。根据短文最后一句“Today Moby Dick is one of the best-known novels ever penned by an American author.”可知Moby Dick非常受欢迎。故选A项。31.The text may be taken from.A.a writing guideB.a literary journalC.a science magazineD.a book review答案:D解析:推理判断题。根据整篇文章可知,本文是对Herman Melville所写小说的评价,是一篇书评(book review)。故选D项。DSatellites are an important part of our ordinary lives.For example,the information for weather forecasts is sent by satellite.Some satellites have cameras which take photographs of the earth to show how clouds are moving.Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls.Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet also use satellites.Many of our TV programs come to us through satellites.Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location.We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another.They are usually 35,880 kilometers above the equator.Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place.This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hourexactly the same speed that the earth rotates(旋转).A satellite must orbit the earth with its antennae (天线) facing the earth.Sometimes,it moves away from its orbit.So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position.This usually happens about every five or six days.Space is not empty!Every week,more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the earth.A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years.Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to the earth to be repaired.Often,very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the earth for a very long time.This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other.32.Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?A.Sending information for weather forecast.B.Taking photographs of the earth.C.Sending TV pictures.D.Providing food for airplane pilots.答案:D解析:细节理解题。由第一段可知,A、B项的内容都是卫星的功能;由第三段可知,卫星还可以发送电视画面;只有D项内容文中并未提及。33.Whats the speed the earth rotates at?A.35,880 kilometers per hour.B.335,880 kilometers per hour.C.11,000 kilometers per hour.D.110,000 kilometers per hour.答案:C解析:细节理解题。由第三段的“This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers an hourexactly the same speed that the earth rotates(旋转).”可知C项为正确答案。34.What does the underlined word “This” in the 3rd paragraph refer to?A.A satellite.B.A little rocket.C.A satellite seems to stay in the same place in the sky.D.The satellite puts the rockets in the right position.答案:C解析:词义猜测题。由上一句的句意“有时候我们看到天空中的卫星好像待在同一个地方,这是因为”可推知本题答案为C项。35.Which is true of satellites?A.A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years.B.Every time a satellite gets broken,it is brought back to the earth to be repaired.C.A broken satellite is never left in space.D.They often crash into each other.答案:A解析:细节理解题。由最后一段的第三句话“A satellite u
