阅读理解（共两节，满分40）第一节（ 共15小题；每小题2分；满分30分） apeople in the western state of california who are in the united states illegally can now request a drivers license. the law went into effect on january l. california is not the first american state with such a law, but it has the largest number of illegal immigrants. more than a million people began to request licenses shortly after the new state law went into effect. among them was christian alvarado. mr. alvarado entered the united states from el salvador eight years ago without permission from the u.s. government. some call such people illegal immigrants. others call them undocumented immigrants. mr. alvarado thinks it so exciting, for he has been waiting for the license for a long time. but some are worried that their personal information will be used to find them and deport them. armando botello is a spokesman for the california department of motor vehicles, or dmv. he says people should not be afraid, for such information will not be shared. the new licenses are the same as licenses given to citizens except that they have the words federal limits apply. that means the license cannot be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building. ana garcia, working at the central american resource center, says some illegal immigrants fear those words will be used to abuse them. civil rights groups say the police and others will not. dan schnur, a political scientist at the university of southern california, said that the main argument against the new law is that it rewards illegal behavior. but professor schnur argued that young, white americans generally support immigration reform, including giving drivers licenses to illegal immigrants its simply because they grew up in a much more multicultural society than their parents or their grandparents did. professor schnur says he believes the changes in beliefs about illegal immigrants that have taken place in california will spread throughout the united states. 21. why did the new law make mr. alvarado excited?a. because he can request a drivers license.b. because he became a legal immigrant of california. c. because he got his driving license as an illegal immigrant. d. because a law went into effect for the new immigrants. 22. what is the difference of the new licenses compared to those given to citizens? a. the words “federal limits apply” will abuse illegal immigrants b. they cant be used to travel on an airplane or enter a federal building. c. they can be used to act against the police and other people. d. with the words federal limits apply, immigrants can enjoy special rights. 23. whats the publics attitude towards the new law released on january l in california? a. supportive b. negative c. neutral d. controversialb walking tall, and safelysome women simply refuse to give up high heels, despite slush (雪泥), ice and snow. now theres winter trax for them, designed to fit over high-heel boots and make their walk on the wild side a little more safe. metal coils (圈) wrap around rubber at the front end of the shoe, with the heel end open.snow skirt steps up into fashiondown with snow pants. up with snow skirts! montreals fantasy world heroes has created these skirts to layer over minis and jeans as the snow season sets in. in a range of colors and available in wool, and quiltings, they come in four sizes and adjustable. doc martens, those army-inspired leather boots, are back. they were last popular when kurt cobain was all the rage (风靡一时). so far, just a few teens and fashion people have been spotted wearing the slight fat boots, but they have already appeared on stylish models like irina lazareanu and agyness deyn. neon stores sold doc martens 15 years ago and its owner irving tajfel wasnt sure at first if he was ready to relive the trend. i couldnt believe my eyes when i saw doc martens at a fashion fair in barcelona last year. then i saw all the cool fashion kids wearing them in paris. that got me thinking

chocolate bar every day really prevent age-related memory loss? no. but a new research shows that large amounts of flavones, substances found in cocoa, tea and some kinds of vegetables, may improve age-related memory failure. dr. scott small is a professor of neurology (神经病学) at columbia university in new york city. he is the lead writer of a research paper describing the effects of cocoa flavones on brain activity. his study involved 37 volunteers aged between 50 and 69. researchers gave them a high-level flavones drink made from cocoa beans or a low-level flavones drink. for a period of three months, some subjects got 900 milligrams of flavones a day. the others got 10 milligrams of flavones each day. brain imaging and memory tests were given to each study subject before and after the study. dr. small says that the subjects who had the high-level flavones drink showed much improvement on memory tests. the researchers warn that more work is needed to be done because this study was performed only on a small group. dr. joann manson is the lead researcher of a four-year study involving 18,000 adults. this study will use flavones capsules(胶囊). the study subjects will be divided into two groups and will take two pills per day. the capsules used will all look the same. but one groups capsules will contain flavones, while the other group will take capsules made of an inactive substance, or placebo dr. manson says its not necessary for people to start eating more chocolate, because 3 persons would have to eat a huge amount of chocolate to get the same level of flavones given to the rest subjects. he adds many manufacturers have planned to remove the flavones from their chocolate products. similarly, dr. manson says a cocoa-based flavones extract（提取）may be developed in the future but he says that more studies are needed to see how much flavones is good for our health.28. what was done to the subjects after dr. smalls study? a. they were asked to take a high-level flavones drink. b. they were given capsules containing flavones. c. they were given brain imaging and memory tests. d. they were asked to take two pills of flavones capsules per day.29. whats the similarity of the two experiments? a. both use high-level flavones capsules. b. the number of the subjects is the same. c. drinks and placebos are used in both experiments. d. the subjects are divided into two groups in both experiments.30. why will dr. manson carry out the four-year study? a. to prove the first experiment is wrong.b. to carry out the experiment further. c. to test how much flavones can improve our memory. d. to show eating chocolate is better to improve memory.31. what can we learn from the last paragraph? a its not necessary for us to eat chocolate. b the more we eat flavones, the better our health will be. c. in the future we can get flavones without eating chocolate. d. its easy for people to get the same level of flavones given to the test subjects.dall you

four years, always on an even-numbered year. the extra day is added to our shortest month. that is the second month of the year, which in non-leap years has 28 days, two fewer than any other month. 36 we also call leap year the bissextile year (闰年). 37 in our calendar system there is a need for a leap year because the solar year (the time it takes the earth to go around the sun once）is actually slightly more than 365 days long. that extra dayfeb 29 every four yearshelps correct the difference between our calendar and the solar calendar.it is said that leap year was first made part of the calendar by the ancient roman leader julius caesar. his astronomers had calculated the length of the solar year to be 365 days and six hours. so caesar declared that an extra day be added to the calendar. 38 however, caesars adjustment was not completely accurate because his astronomers year exceeded the true solar year by eleven minutes and fourteen seconds. by 1582, a difference of ten days had developed between the calendar year and the true solar year. to correct this error, pope gregory x ruled that every fourth year would continue to be a leap year except for century years that could not be divided evenly by 400. by this system, century years such as 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not leap years, but the year 2000 was a leap year. 39 people born on feb 29 celebrate their growing up a little differently from the rest of us. 40 but if they go strictly by the calendar, they have only one-fourth as many birthday celebrations as most people.a. they acknowledge that they get older each year. b. when you see feb 29 on a calendar, you know that year is a leap year. c. this is its formal, or scientific title. d. this may seem complicated, but it works. e. in a leap year, the extra day is added to the second month, giving it 29 instead of the usual 28 days f. the leap year was introduced in the julian calendar in 46 bc. g. this is done every four years.第三部分 语言运用第一节

playing a very important part in our life. but television, like many 61 things, has both advantages and disadvantages. do the 62 outweigh (比更重要) the latter?in the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also 63 comparatively cheap one. for a family of four, for example, it is 64 (convenient) as well as cheaper to sit comfortably at home, with almost unlimited entertainment available, than to go out in search of amusement elsewhere.all they have to do is 65 (press) a button, and they can see plays, films, operas, and shows of every kind, not to mention the latest 66 (excite) football match. some people, 67 maintain that this is precisely 68 the danger lies. the television viewer makes no choice and exercises no judgment. he is completely passive and has everything 69 (present) to 70 without any effort on his part.
