no, sir, the men answered. the director was angry. why not? he asked. well, sir, one of the men answered, were on the east coast here, and the sun sets in the west. we can get you a sunrise over the sea, if necessary, but not a sunset. but i want a sunset! the director shouted. go to the airport, take the next flight to the west coast, and get one. but then a young secretary had an idea. why dont you photograph a sunrise, she suggested, and then play it backwards? then itll look like a sunset. thats a very good idea! the director said. then he turned to the camera crew and said, tomorrow morning i want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea. the camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay. then at nine oclock they took it to the director. here it is, sir, they said, and gave it to him. he was very pleased. they all went into the studio. all right, the director explained, now our hero and heroine are going to say goodbye. run the film backwards so that we can see the sunset behind them. the sunset began, but after a quarter of a minute, the director suddenly put his face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop. the birds in the film were flying backwards, and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach. 46. one evening, the director sent his camera crew out _.a. to watch a beautiful sunsetb. to find an actor and an actress c. to film a scene on the sea d. to meet the audience47. why did the director want to send his crew to the west coast?a. because he changed his mind about getting a sunset. b. because he was angry with his crew. c. because it was his secretarys suggestion.d. because he wanted to get a scene of sunset. 48. the director wanted to film a sunset over the ocean because _.a. it went well with the separation of the hero and heroine b. when they arrived at the beach it was already in the evening c. it was more moving than a sunrise d. the ocean looked more beautiful at sunset49. after the sunset began, the director suddenly put his face in his hands _.a. because he was moved to tears b. as he saw everything in the film moving backwards c. as the sunrise did not look as beautiful as he had imagined d. because he was disappointed with the performance of the hero and heroine50. which of the following is not true?a. the crew had to follow the secretarys advice (忠告). b. if you want to see a sunrise, the east coat is the place to go. c. the camera crew wasnt able to film the scene the first day.d. the director ordered his crew to stop filming the sunset. btravel is fun and exciting, but its not if you get sick. you may think, “not me, i wont get sick in my holiday.” but, for many people, that is what happens. of course you dont want to spend your holiday sick in bed. so what can you do to stay in good health? there are three things you should remember when you travel: relax, sleep, and eat well. a holiday must be a time for relaxing. but very often it is not. think about what you do when you are a traveller. there are many places to visit: museums, shops, parks, churches. you may spend most days walking around these places. this can be very tiring. you may have a terrible headache after a few hours. if this is the way you feel, you should take a rest. dont ask your body to do too much. a tired body means a weak body. and a weak body gets sick easily. so sit down for a few hours in a nice place. in good weather, look for a quiet park bench(石凳). or you can stop at a cafe. you can learn a lot by watching people while you rest. sleep is also important. if you want to stay healthy, you need to get enough sleep. you may have trouble sleeping at night when you travel. there may be too many noises in your hotel or the bed may be uncomfortable. if this is true, dont be afraid to change rooms or hotels. or you may get enough sleep for another reason. you may want to stay out late at night. in many cities, the nightlife can be very exciting. then you should plan to sleep for an hour during the day. the extra(额外) hour can make a big difference。 finally, if you want to stay healthy, you must eat the right kinds of foods but you need to be careful about how much you eat. lots of food is not good for you. so, remember this, if you want to enjoy your holiday, take care of yourself. give your body some rest. get enough sleep and eat good, healthy food.51. this passage is about _ a. what you eat when you travel b. how exciting travel is c. relaxing when you travel d. how to stay healthy when you travel52. travel is _ a. the best way to relax b. very tiring c. never any fun d. unhealthy 53. your body needs sleep to_ a. enjoy the nightlife b. change hotelsc. stay strong and healthy d. learn a lot about a new place.54. why can you have a terrible headache while visiting these places? a. because there are so many places to visit.b. because some place makes you feel headachec. because you dont like these placesd. because you feel boring to visit these places.55. you can change your rooms or hotels, if_.a. you want to stay out late at night b. you want to eat different foodc. your hotel is noisy d. you cant get on well with the manager in the hotel c it feels like every time my mother and i start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. we talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into world war 3. shell talk about my lack of bright future because i dont plan to be a doctor. and much to her disappointment, i dont want to do any job related to science, either. in fact, when i was pushed to say that i planned to major(主修) in english and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.“why cant you be like my co-workers son?” she bemoans all the time. her coworkers son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. i dont know what to answer except that i simply cant be like mr. perfect as ive called the unnamed co-workers son. i cant be like him. i am the type of the person who loved to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because i love it, not because of a fame or salary.56. which of the following topics do the writer and his mother often talk about? a. the writers studies b. wars around the world c. dinner plans d. the writers future job 57. we can infer from paragraph 1 that the writers mother _. a. doesnt think the writer should be a doctor b. doesnt want the writer to major in english c. gets along very well with the writer d. doesnt think working in the scientific field is a good idea58. the underlined word “bemoans” in paragraph 2 most probably means “_”. a. disagrees b. shouts c. smiles d. complains59. which of the following statements is probably true about the writer? a. he wants to be like his mothers co-workers son. b. he wants to find a job in his community in the future. c. he wants to do something he really likes in the future. d. he doesnt think his mothers co-workers son is perfect.60. we can know from the last paragraph that _. a. the writers mother works very hard for the family b. the writer doesnt know what his future will be like c. the writer doesnt think being a doctor is a good job d. the writer sometimes thinks his mothers advice is very good dfrom the first use of the rocket to carry satellites into space to the setting up of space stations，human beings have been putting great effort into space research. and so far，we have achieved many successes. but there are still numerous tasks in front of us and we should not cease trying to progress.the international space station is an important step we should take in space exploration. it is not only helpful but also essential. it provides a proper space environment for many experiments that we have wanted to do for a long time. it is also a base for the observations of the earth and the universe. it could also be an important base for later travel to the moon and mars. in a word，if we want to explore space more，the first thing we should do is to set up a space station.as the space station costs a lot of money，it is hard for one country alone to establish one. the usa seems to be the only country that has the ability to build a space station alone，and it has tried to do so，but not very successful. so it aggregated many other countries to work on it together. though it is still extremely expensive，it is much cheaper than doing it alone. it is really a job that needs everyones effort and will benefit everyone.but even so, the funds needed are still a big problem. as for the usa，it seems that it has too many things to spend its money on. although it is the richest country in the world，it has much debt every year. it has to make arrangements about its finance，and try to find a balance in all these issues. 61. what is the authors attitude towards building and developing the international space station?asupportive. bdoubtful. ccritical. dindifferent62. from paragraph 2 we learn that _.athe necessity of building the international space station is not realized nowbmany experiments have been done in the international space stationcthe international space station is necessary for people to explore space moredpeople have traveled to mars from the international space station63. which of the following is not a reason for countries cooperation in building the international space station?athat it requires a lot of money. bthat it needs everyones effort.cthat it will benefit every participating country. dthat it is too far away from the earth.64. the underlined word “aggregated” in paragraph 3 can be replaced by“_”aunited bscolded callowed dforbade65. which of the following aspects about building the international space station is not mentioned in the passage?adifficulties. bcooperation. csignificance. dspecific arrangements. 第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）首先，请阅读以下机构的信息介绍：aworld wildlife fundthe world wildlife fund is helping to protect endangered species through the symbolic species adoption programthose who “adopt” an animal will receive an adoption certificate and a photo of their speciesalso, anyone can support endangered species by buying wwf clothesbdosomethingorgthis month, dosomethingorg launched their holiday campaign “grandparents surf the internet”the goal of the campaign is to make it easier for senior citizens to keep in touch with their loved ones using the internetteens can volunteer to help seniors in their communityvolunteers are able to win prizes and scholarshipscclub penguin disneys club penguin, a virtual gaming site for kids, launched its annual coins for change campaign this monthclub penguin players can donate virtual coins to real-world causesif players reach the donation goal, club penguin will donate $2 million to charity projectsdtoys for totseach year, the us marine corps toys for tots program collects new, unwrapped toys for the christmas holidaycommunities across the nation host toys for tots campaigns around the holiday seasonthe toys collected are given
