for beginners. there are two 36 (base) stages to learn english. the first stage of learning this language would be very 37 (interest). once you have a good command of the alphabets(字母), 38 (gradual) you can learn many words. it would always be better to follow the method of reading first, then writing. when you feel 39 you have understood the words, you can make sentences. this is the most amusing stage to learn. you just think of a sentence in your mother language, and try to set down the same sentence in english. there could be some mistakes, 40 you should not worry about it. youd better write the same sentence by 41 (make) use of many different words till you are satisfied 42 your sentence. if you follow this way, very soon you can create sentences of your own. 43 second step is learning the grammar. compared with 44 languages, english is quite simple and very systematic(系统化的). there are certain rules and regulations for each and every topic in grammar of this language. as long as you follow the rules and regulations, 45 would be a difficult task to make mistakes.第三部分：阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)athe oldest man had just celebrated(庆祝)his hundredth birthday and the reporter of a local(本地的)paper called on him for an interview .having congratulated(祝贺)the old man, the reporter asked a few questions.“to what do you owe your long life?”the old man thought for a moment and then holding up his hand and counting the items(条目)on his fingers, began,“ i never smoked, drank, or overate and always rise at six in the morning.”“but,”the reporter didnt agree, saying,“ i had an uncle who acted in that way, yet he only lived to be eighty. how do you explain the cause of that?”“ he didnt keep it up long enough,” was the calm(平静的)reply.46.when did the reporter call on the old man?a .shortly after his birthday b.on his birthdayc. at an interview d.not long before his birthday47.the reporter was interested in _.a.how the old man celebrated his hundredth birthday b why the old man never smokec. how the old man manage to live so long d. what the old man usually drank or ate for his health48after hearing the old mans words, the reporter _.a wanted to live long, too b was not satisfied (满意)with his replyc explained why his uncle live to be eighty d thought it was reasonable49in the old mans opinion, the cause of the reporters uncles death was_a he had bad habits(习惯) b he smoke too muchc he did not keep his good habit long enough d he drank too much wine50when did the old man usually get up in the morning?a at seven b at eight c at six d at half past six bwhen you cut your skin, you bleed(流血). if a person loses a lot of blood, he will become ill and may die. blood is very important. people have always known that. at one time, some people even drank blood to make them strong!when doctors understand how blood goes around inside the body, they try ways of giving blood to people who need it. they take blood from the healthy people and give it to people who need it. this is called blood transfusion（输血）. the blood goes from the arm of the healthy person into the arm of the sick person.but there are two problems. first, it does not always work. sometimes people die when they have blood transfusion. later, doctors find that we do not all have the same kind of blood. there are four groupso, a, b and ab. we all have blood of one of these groups. they also find that they can give any kind of blood to people of group ab. but they find that they must give a-group blood to a-group people and b-group blood to b-group people. i have o-group blood and the doctor told me that i could give blood to anyone else safely. there is another problem. to give blood of the right kind, doctors have to find a person of the right blood group. often they can not find a person in time. if they have a way to keep the blood until someone needs it, they can always have the right kind of blood. at first they find they can keep it in bottles for fifteen to twenty days. they do this by making it very cold. then they find how to keep it longer. in the end they find a way of keeping blood for a very long time.we call a place where we keep money a bank. we call a place where we keep blood a blood bank. one day, when you grow up, you may decide to give blood to a blood bank. in this way you may stop someone from dying. or perhaps one day you may become ill. you may need blood. the blood bank will give it to you. 51. from the passage, we learn that sometimes people die when they have blood transfusions because they .a. are unhealthy peopleb. have lost a lot of bloodc. are not given the right kind of bloodd. are ab-group people52. which of the following is true?a. doctors can give any kind of blood to the writer. b. the writer can

right kind of blood to the people who need it in timeb. keep different groups of blood as much as possiblec. make it easier to sell or buy blood d. keep blood for more than twenty hundred years54. from the last paragraph (段落) of the passage, we learn that .a. the writer thinks its good to give blood to a blood bankb. we may become ill if we give blood to a blood bank c. many people died because they lost a lot of blood d. blood is more important than money55. the writer doesnt talk about in the passage.a. how important blood is to us b. the four groups of blood c. where the blood bank is d.

the center of the storm. these people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometre-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.“storm chasing” is becoming an increasingly popular hobby, especially in the midwest of the united states, where there are frequent storms between march and july. a storm chaser begins the day by checking the internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for it to develop.although anyone can do it, storm chasing is extremely dangerous. the power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. if you are a beginner, it is much safer to join a group for storm chasing vacations during the storm season.even then, storm chasing is not all adventure or excitement. “storm chasing is 95% driving,” says daniel lynch, who spends most of his summer storm chasing. sometimes you can sit round for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you get is blue sky and a few light showers.”however, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “when you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says jasper morley. “every storm is an example of the power of nature. it is the greatest show on earth.”56. for storm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to _. a. head straight for the center of the storm b. get into the car for safetyc. wait patiently for the storm to develop d. collect information about a coming storm57. beginners of storm chasing are advised _. a. not to drive in a heavy rain b. to do it in an organized way c. not to get too close to a storm d. to spend more time on it in summer58. by saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that _. a. storm chasing costs a lot of money b. storm chasing is worth hours of waitingc.efforts in storm chasing are well paid d. a storm presents the greatest show on earth59. what can we learn from the text? a. sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment b. many storm chasers get killed in the storms. c. storm chasing is becoming popular around the world d. storm chasing is only fit for young people. 60. according to the passage, the right order in which the following things happen is_?a. collect information about a coming stormb. get into their cars and go a long way for the area where the storm will bec. determine on the months between march and julyd. be patient and waits for the storm to developa. c, d, a, b b. c, a, d, b c. a, c, d, b d. c, a, b, dd a french billionaire used to have a rough time when he was young. later he carved out a career for himself in the field of drawing sales. within ten years, he had become a young media tycoon (大亨）in france. he died of cancer in 1998. a french newspaper published his will after his death, in which he claimed:“i was a poor guy. before i reach the threshold (门槛) of heaven, i leave my secret of how to become rich to the world. anyone who can answer the question what is the most absent for the poor? will have discovered my secret of becoming rich. he will have my congratulations. my deposit of one million francs in the private safe of my bank will be the prize for his wisdom in uncovering the riddle of poverty.” many people responded to the publicized will. the answers, as one might imagine, were various. the majority of them thought the most absent for the poor was money. some stated that what the poor most needed was opportunity. still others thought that the poor needed skills to make money. the rest of the answers claimed that poverty could be attributed to the absence of help, love, attractiveness, name-brand clothes, and even a presidency of a state. on the first anniversary of the billionaires passing, his lawyer and representative opened his private safe in the bank; the secret of getting rich was unfolded. the billionaire believed that the most absent of the poor was the ambition of getting rich. it was a nine-year-old girl who hit the nail on the head. why did she regard “ambition” as the most absent for the poor? the day she was officially awarded the one million francs, she said: “every time my elder sister brought her boyfriend home, she always warned me not to be ambitious. not to be ambitious! so, i thought perhaps ambition was something that brought what you wanted.” 61. according to the passage, which of the following is true about the french billionaire?a. he died of cancer in 1998 and left nothing.b. later on, he took up drawing as his career.c. within a decade, he had became a young media tycoon in the world.d. he did not have a happy life when he was young.62.
