For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1The five bodies of water known as the Great Lakes are on or near the border (边界) between the United States and Canada. Lake Superior holds the most water. Lake Erie holds the least. Lake Michigan is the only one located totally within the United States. The other two are Lake Huron and Lake Ontario. The five Great Lakes are the largest group of freshwater lakes on earth.The Great Lakes control much of the weather on the land that surrounds them. In the winter, moisture (水汽) picked up by winds produces large amounts of snow, especially in the states of Michigan, Ohio and New York.The lakes also cool the air in the summer, then slowly move the heat over the area in the fall. This makes the area good for producing grapes for wine. The lakes supply drinking water to millions of people living in both the United States and Canada. In the past, industry used the Great Lakes to move products such as iron, coal, stone, grain and salt. But the amount of shipping on the lakes has decreased. The lakes are too narrow for newer, larger ships. But small boats take visitors to many of the islands for vacations.The United States and Canada work together to improve conditions in the Great Lakes area. Officials are now working to change a treaty (条约) about ways to slow or stop the effects of climate change. They say that less ice formation (形成物) over the lakes in recent years has caused lower water levels.The areas around the lakes report environmental conditions at a conference every two years. The last one took place last November. The conference report said some conditions are improving while others are worsening. For example, it reported progress in reducing air pollution, but said some poisons in the air are still a concern.31. The following lakes belong to both Canada and America EXCEPT . A. Lake Superior B. Lake Michigan C. Lake Erie D. Lake Ontario32. The area of the Great Lakes is suitable for growing grapes because .A. there is enough water in the five lakes B. it snows heavily in winter every year C. it is windy in summer D. it is cool in summer and warm in autumn33. We can learn from this passage that .A. people from the two countries drink water of the lakes B. visitors go to the islands in the lakes on vacation by air C. the industry around the lakes has developed a lot recently D. there is the least water in Lake Huron34. According to the passage, officials from America and Canada . A. are unable to reach an agreement about how to improve conditions in the Great Lakes area B. are changing a treaty to improve the relations between the two countries C. are still worried about the conditions in the Great Lakes areaD. are disappointed to see the decrease in the amount of shipping on the lakes35. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. Introduction to the Great Lakes. B. Officials Value the Great Lakes. C. Climate change in the U.S. D. The Importance of the Great Lakes.Passage 2Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the greatest resources of the English Language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twentyfive thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it. Such a study is well worth the effort, even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeares day.However, it is surprising that we should know comparatively little about the life of the greatest English author. We know that Shakespeare was born in 1564 in StratfordonAvon, and that he died there in 1616.He almost certainly attended the Grammar School in the town, but of this we cannot be sure. We know he was married there in 1582 to Anne Hathaway and that he had three children. We know that he spent much of his life in London writing his masterpieces. But this is almost all that we do know. However, what is important about Shakespeares life is not its incidental details but its products, the plays and the poems. For many years scholars have been trying to add a few facts about Shakespeares life to the small number we already possess and for an equally long tine critics（批评）have been theorizing（理论化）about the plays.Sometimes, indeed, it seems that the poetry of Shakespeare will disappear under the great mass of comment that has been written upon it.Fortunately this is not likely to happen. Shakespeares people have long delighted not just the English but lovers of literature everywhere, and will continue to do so after the scholars and critics and all their works have been forgotten.36. This passage is about .A. the great length of each chapter B. the great varieties in writing stylesC. the richness of the content in Shakespeares worksD. the rich English language used by Shakespeare in his works37. According to the writer, which of the following remains uncertain about Shakespeare?A. His date of birth. B. His marriage.C. His life in the Grammar School .D. His date of death.38. It can be inferred from Para 3 that .A. not all the comments on Shakespeares works have produced good effectsB. scholars have successfully collected facts about Shakespeares lifeC. critics are more interested in Shakespeares play than his poetryD. the details of Shakespeares life are more important than his literary works39. What does the last sentence in Para 3 mean?A. People dont think the poetry of Shakespeare good any more.B. People pay more attention to the comment than the poetry of Shakespeare.C. People cant see the poetry of Shakespeare any more.D. The comment is printed on the poetry of Shakespeare.40. “Shakespeares people” in Para 4 refers to .A. the characters in Shakespeares productsB. the people whose native language is EnglishC. the people living in Shakespeares day D. the readers of Shakespeares worksPassage 3Global warming may or may not be the great environmental crisis of the 21st century, but regardless of whether it is or isntwe wont do much about it. We will argue over it and may even, as a nation, make some fairly solemnsounding commitments to avoid it. But the more dramatic and meaningful these commitments seem, the less likely they are to be observed.Al Gore calls global warming an “inconvenient truth”, as if merely recognizing it could put us on a path to a solution. But the real truth is that we dont know enough to relieve global warming, andwithout major technological breakthroughswe cant do much about it.From 2003 to 2050, the worlds population is projected to grow from 6.4 billion to 9.1 billion, a 42% increase. If energy use per person and technology remain the same, total energy use and greenhouse gas emissions (mainly, CO2) will be 42% higher in 2050, but thats too low, because societies that grow richer use more energy. We need economic growth unless we condemn the worlds poor to their present poverty and freeze everyone elses living standards. With modest growth, energy use and greenhouse emissions more than double by 2050.No government will adopt rigid restrictions on economic growth and personal freedom (limits on electricity usage, driving and travel) that might cut back global warming. Still, politicians want to show theyre “doing something”. Consider the Kyoto Protocol (京都议定书). It allowed countries that joined to punish those that didnt. But it hasnt reduced CO2 emissions (up about 25% since 1990), and many signatories (签字国) didnt adopt tough enough policies to hit their 20082012 targets.The practical conclusion is that if global warming is a potential disaster, the only solution is new technology. Only an aggressive research and development program might find ways of breaking dependence on fossil fuels or dealing with it.The trouble with the global warming debate is that it has become a moral problem when its really an engineering one. The inconvenient truth is that if we dont solve the engineering problem, were helpless.41. What is said about global warming in the first paragraph?A. It may not prove an environmental crisis at all. B. It is an issue requiring world wide commitments.C. Serious steps have been taken to avoid or stop it.D. Very little will be done to bring it under control.42. According to the authors understanding, what is Al Gores view on global warming?A. It is a reality both people and politicians are unaware of.B. It is a phenomenon that causes us many inconveniences.C. It is a problem that can be solved once it is recognized.D. It is an area we actually have little knowledge about.43. Green house emissions will more than double by 2050 because of .A. economic growth B. the widening gap between the rich and poorC. wasteful use of energy D. the rapid advances of science and technology44. The author believes that, since the signing of the Kyoto Protocol, .A. politicians have started to do something to better the situationB. few nations have adopted real tough measures to limit energy useC. reductions in energy consumption have greatly cut back global warmingD. international cooperation has contributed to solving environmental problems45. What is the message the author intends to convey?A. Global warming is more of a moral issue than a practical one.B. The ultimate solution to global warming lies in new technology.C. The debate over global warming will lead to technological breakthroughs.D. People have to give up certain material comforts to stop global warming.Passage 4Someday a stranger will read your email without your permission or scan the Websites youve visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchase or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.In fact, its likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked.Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, that its important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs (碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simple cannot keep a secret.The key question is: Does that matter?When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away, and that bothers me”.But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths (收费站) to avoid using the EZPass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50centsoff coupon (优惠券).But privacy does matterat least sometimes. Its like health: When you have it, you dont notice it. Only when its gone do you wish youd done more to protect it.46. What does the author mean by saying “the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked ”(Lines 34, Para.2)?A. Peoples personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge.B. In the 21st century people try every means to look into others secrets.C. People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.D. Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.47. What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.B. Friends should always be faithful to each other.C. There should be a distance even between friends.D. There should be fewer disputes between friends.48. Why does the author say “we live in a world where you simple cannot keep a secret” (Line 5, Para.3)?A. Modern society has finally evolved into an open society.B. People leave traces around when using modern technology.C. There are always people who are curious about others affairs.D. Many search engines profit by revealing peoples identities.49. What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protection?A. They change behaviors that might disclose their identity
