did he have the strength and 52 to climb to the top?he was finally at the top! news about his 53 was radioed to the world.the trip down the southern 54 was easy. he was warmly welcomed in the village. he had done the 55 , and would be well remembered as a climber of all time.36. a. upb. down c. back d. forward37. a. green treesb. flowers c. rocks d. ice and snow38. a. passedb. reachedc. climbedd. watched39. a. easternb. western c. northern d. southern 40. a. different b. difficult c. easy d. same41. a. anxiously b. carefully c. patiently d. eagerly 42. a. signalb. flag c. face d. figure43. a. go downb. come backc. go on d. give up44. a. turning around b. turning backc. moving up d. in danger45. a. raised b. rose c. disappeared d. appeared46. a. cheered b. shouted c. laughed d. jumped 47. a. stopped b. abandoned c. continued d. ended48. a. green b. yellow c. blue d. red49. a. already b. surely c. almost d. no longer50. a. because b. though c. since d. when51. a. asking b. planning c. preparing d. training 52. a. money b. wish c. effort d. skill53. a. victory b. climb c. courage d. thing54. a. pace b. route c. path d. passage55. a. necessary b. great c. important d. impossible第三部分： 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，从每题所给的四个选项(a、b、c和d)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 ahe has lived through various dangers but time may be running out for the palestinian leader, yasser arafat.on september 11, israel announced its decision to remove him, following several palestinian suicide bomb attacks on israel. “he should be punished for the killings,” an israeli official said, “he has done nothing to stop the terrorist groups.”but the decision has angered many other countries. china said that arafat is the true leader, elected by the palestinian people, and removing him would harm the peace in the middle east. other governments share this idea.arafat himself said: “they can kill me, but never get me out of my country.” he has spent most of his life in danger as the most important aim of israel. but, just like a cat with nine lives, arafat escaped every time.for years he has made a practice of sleeping in a different bed each night, thinking a moving person is harder to hit. in 1985, israel sent fighter planes to kill arafat. the wild bombing destroyed his office in tunis but arafat himself was unhurt. in 1992, the aircraft in which he was flying over north africa broke in two during a crash landing. the pilot was killed but he managed to remain alive.what is so unbelievable is that he always remains calm in great danger. israeli tanks and planes attacked his office building in ram allah in december 2001. when they saw the attackers coming, arafats bodyguards took no notice of his orders to stay still and carried him to safety underground. seconds later, several bombs were dropped nearby. though safe, his bodyguards were so frightened that they were wet in sweat.but, arafat, with israeli tanks only 200 meters away, showed no fear at all. he stayed in the damaged office, talking by phone with foreign leaders in hope of preventing further attacks from israel. all these experiences have made him a beloved leader to his people and an enemy to some others.but has he used up the last of his nine lives? only time will tell.56. according to the passage, which statement is true?a. in 1992, arafats plane crashed in south africa.b. israeli officers thought arafat himself sent the terrorist groups to israel.c. china is the only country against israels decision of removing arafat.d. being palestinian leader, arafat would rather die in his own country than be driven awayfrom his people.57. what did the author mean by saying “just like a cat has nine lives” when he talked about arafat?a. arafat is as clever as a cat.b. arafat can live as long as a cat.c. arafat can stay alive after accidents or disasters as if he has nine lives.d. arafat should have died for at least 8 times.58. the underlined phrase “took no notice of” can be replaced by _.a. obeyed b. ignoredc. disagreed d. dissatisfied59. whats the writers attitude towards arafats future, judging from the last sentence of the passage?a. hopeful.b. interesting.c. satisfactory.d. doubtful.bin the united states, friendships can be close, constant, intense, generous, and real, yet fade away in a short time if things change. neither side feels hurt by this. both may exchange christmas greeting for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a whilethen no more. if the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship where its left off and are delighted.in the states, you can feel free to visit peoples homes and share their holidays without fear that you are taking on a lasting obligation. do not hesitate to accept hospitality because you cannot give it in return. no one will expect you to do so for they know you are far from home. americans will enjoy welcoming you and be pleased if you accept their hospitality easily.once you arrive there, the welcome will be full and warm and real. most visitors find themselves easily invited into many homes there. in some countries it is considered inhospitable to entertain at home, offering what is felt as merely home cooked food, not doing something for your guest. it is felt that restaurant entertaining shows more respect and welcome. or for various other reasons, such as crowded space, language difficulties, or family custom, outsiders are not invited into homes.in the united states, both methods are used, but it is often considered more friendly to invite a person to ones home than to go to a public place, except in pure business relationships. so, if your host or hostess brings you home, do not feel that you are being shown inferior treatment.60. in the united states, friendships might _ if things become different.a. disappear little by littleb. last foreverc. be heartbreakingd. end suddenly61. all the following factors but _ prevent people from inviting their friends home for dinner according to the passage.a. different languagesb.naughty children c. different customsd.small houses62. we can infer that _ in america according to this passage.a. friendships are difficult to get but easy to loseb. it is hard for a person to pick up the friendship when he comes across his long lost friendc. you might be considered as a person hungry for social activities if you accept an invitation too easilyd. people care little about where they are invited to go for dinner63. why is giving a dinner party at home considered less hospitable in some countries? a. because eating at the restaurant is a sign of respect.b. because having dinner at home seems less friendly.c. because dishes prepared at home are less delicious.d. because a dinner at the restaurant is more expensive. cyes, but what did we use to do before there was television? how often we hear statements like this! television hasnt been with us all that long, but we are already beginning to forget what the world was like without it. before we admitted the one-eyed monster into our homes, we never found it difficult to occupy our spare time. we used to enjoy civilised pleasures. for instance, we used to have hobbies, entertain our friends and be entertained by them, go outside for our amusements. we even used to read books and listen to music occasionally. now all our free time is regulated by the goggle box. we rush home for our meals to be in time for this or that programme. a sandwich and a glass of beer will doanything, providing it doesnt interfere with the programme. the monster demands and obtains absolute silence and attention. if any member of the family dares to open his mouth during a programme, he is quickly silenced.whole generations are growing up addicted to the television. food is left uneaten, homework undone and sleep is lost. the television is a universal thing that makes people calm. it is now standard practice for mother to keep the children quiet by putting them in the living-room and turning on the set. it doesnt matter what the children will watchso long as they are quiet.television encourages passive enjoyment. we become content with second-hand experiences. it is so easy to sit in our armchairs watching others working. little by little, television cuts us off from the real world. we get so lazy, we choose to spend a fine day in semi-darkness. television may be a splendid medium of communication, but it prevents us from communicating with each other. we only become aware how totally irrelevant television is to real living when we spend a holiday by the sea or in the mountains. in quiet, natural surroundings.we quickly discover how little we miss the king television.64. through the passage, the writer aims to tell us _.a. how television is damaging our healthb. how to keep away from watching televisionc. that television is doing harm to our lifed. all of us find it difficult to live without television65. what can we learn from the last paragraph?a. second-hand experiences provided by television are harmful.b. we can enjoy our life without television.c. television is a necessary way of communication.d. television is becoming irreplaceable in our daily life.66. whats the main reason for parents to put the children before a television set?a. to save more time for housework.b. to help them sleep earlier.c. to keep them quiet.d. to help them learn more knowledge from television.67. by saying we never found it difficult to occupy our spare time, the writer means _.a. television occupies too much of our spare timeb. its easy for us to find some spare time to enjoy the televisionc. we have less spare time after we have televisiond. its difficult to spend our spare time without a televisiondspecial bridges help animals cross the road -reported by sheila carrickwhy did the chicken cross the road? to get to the other side. most people know this joke. but recently, some people have been much more worried about how the grizzly bear(灰熊)and mountain lion can cross the road. millions of animals die each year on us roads, the federal highway administration reports. in fact，only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the us today. the main reason? road kill. ecopassages may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. they are paths both over and under roads. these ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road accidents, said jodi hilty of the wildlife protection society.but do animals actually use the ecopassages? the answer is yes. pau
