第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 anuclear energy is a controversial topicthere has been widespread public debate over it. it seems that the nuclear energy is either a gigantic disaster waiting to happen or the all-powerful way of the future.it is often believed that nuclear energy is something we cannot do without. we live in a consumer society with a huge demand for commercial products of all kinds. besides, an increase in industrial production is considered to be one solution to the problem of mass unemployment. such an increase assumes an abundant and cheap energy supply. many people believe nuclear energy provides an endless and economical source of power and that it is therefore fundamental for an industrially developing society. among other advantages is that nuclear power, except for accidents, is clean. a further advantage is that a nuclear power station can be run and maintained by relatively few technical and administrative staff. the nuclear reactor represents a great step in our scientific evolution and, whatever the anti-nuclear group says, it is wrong to expect a return to more primitive sources of fuel.however, opponents(people who oppose something)of nuclear energy point out that nuclear power stations bring a direct danger not only to the environment but also to civil liberties. environmentalists argue in the long run nuclear energy wastes valuable resources and disturbs the ecology to an extent which could bring about the destruction of the human race. furthermore, it is questionable whether nuclear power is a cheap source of energy when everything is considered. there have, for example, been very costly accidents in america, in britain and, of course, in russia. the possibility of increases in the cost of uranium（铀）in addition to the cost of greater safety provisions(设施）could price nuclear power out of the market.in spite of the case against nuclear energy above, nuclear energy programmes are expanding, which assumes a continual growth in industrial production and consumer demands. however, it is doubtful whether this growth will or can continue. having weighed up the arguments in both sides, it seems that there are good economic and ecological reasons for sources of energy other than nuclear power. 56.whats the writers attitude toward nuclear energy?aobjective b.negative c.tolerant d. appreciative57.according to the opponents, which of the following is true of nuclear energy?aprimitive.bendlessccheap.dunsafe.58.some people believe that nuclear energy is the most important because .aunclear power stations can be run and maintained by relatively few staff.bit can meet the growing demand of an industrially developing society.cit represents a huge step forward in our scientific evolution.dit provides a perfect way out to increase employment59.which of the following shows the structure of the passage? bwhat makes a gift special? is it the price you see on the gift receipt? or is it the look on the recipients face when they receive it that determines the true value? what gift is worth the most?this christmas i was debating what to give my father. my dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. i pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for christmas shopping for him when i came across a message on my phone that i had locked. the message was from my father. my eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in wyoming, and underneath a poem by william blake. the flower, a lone dandelion (蒲公英) standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. my dad had been reciting those words to me since i was a kid. that may even be the reason why i love writing. i decided that those words would be my gift to my father.i called back. i told my mom to go without me and that i already created my gift. i sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. as i was arranging the details another poem came to mind. the poem was written by edgar allan poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. i typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. the poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching i found the perfect picture. the image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. as i watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood. i felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.christmas soon arrived. the minute i saw the look on my dads face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, i knew i had given the perfect gift.60. the

billions of dollars, one expert says that depression is like cancer because it is “widespread, costly and deadly”depression hits one person in five around the world.although people have believed depression to be a problem among the rich and educated, studies show that depression is a problem among everyone, over any six-month period, between five to seven percent of the worlds population will be suffering from a serious depression , suicide rates among people suffering from the disease in its extreme ,or clinical form were 80 percent higher than in the population at large ,and sufferers were four times more likely to have heart attacks, people who suffer from depression often have problems sleeping , getting up on time, and doing work productively.depression ,which researchers agree has its origin in the genes ,brings loss of confidence and ability to concentrate, making it impossible for employees and managers to work efficiently.in western countries, people are not afraid to admit that they have depression ,but most do not tell it to their boss, because they fear that they will be stricken off the rolls, “in my experience, aging bosses are the most willing to admit they have it ,because they feel the most secure about themselves,”an american doctor says.hopefully ,in the near future ,people around the world will be able to admit that they have depression so that they can get the right treatment.64.compared to normal people, the depressed people are likely to be a.very unconfident and often absent-mindedb.easy to avoid being hit by heart attacksc.working efficiently and productivelyd.either weak or lazy65.depression becomes more serious in china because of a.the understanding of the problemb.the lack of treatment and doctorsc.their unwillingness to

to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers. an attraction of sport programs for the major u.s. media companies is that events are often held on saturday and sunday afternoons the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. this means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming. media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. the people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. they also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance. golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. these sports attract few viewers, and the ratings (收视率) are unusually low. however, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. it is made up of people from the highest income groups in the united states, including many lawyers and business managers. this is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computer, and holiday trips. this is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computers. with such viewers, these programs dont need high ratings to stay on the air.68. why would weekend afternoons become dead time without sport programs?a. because there would be few viewers.b. because the advertisers would be off work.c. because television programs would go slowly.d. because viewers would pay less for watching television.69. the ratings are not important for golf and tennis programs because _.a. their advertisers are car makersb. their viewers are attracted by sportsc. their advertisers target at rich peopled. their viewers can afford expensive cars70. what is the passage mainly about?a. television viewers are determined by male viewers.b. rich viewers contribute most to television companies.c. sports are gaining importance in advertising on television.d. commercial advertisers are the major sponsors of sport events.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。the mayan indians lived in mexico for thousands of years before the spanish arrived in
