maybe or maybe not, but you can never see them at the same time.“whats happening? is something wrong with my eyes?” you may wonder at what you see. dont worry. here is how it goes:when we look at things, our eyes send messages to our brains and then our brains interpret the information. however, sometimes our brains interpret the received information in a wrong way. it seems that our eyes are playing a joke on us. this often happens and we call it “visual illusion(错误)”.movie makers often make use of visual illusions. they make the objects around actors much smaller or bigger than usual. this makes us believe that the actors are much larger or smaller than they usually are. the movies jurassic park and honey i shrunk the kids just make use of visual illusions.1. why does the centre circle in diagram a look smaller than that in diagram b?a. something is wrong with our eyes.b. the two circles are not the same size.c. our brains interpret the information in a wrong way.d. the two pictures change quickly from one to the other.2. whats the right order according to the passage?a. we look at things with our eyes. b. our brains interpret the messages.c. our brains tell us what we have seen. d. our eyes send messages to our brains.a. a d b cb. c a b d c. a c d b d. b c a d3. what do movie makers make use of visual illusions for ?a. to help the actors look better b. to make the actors much braverc. to help the actors become strongerd. to make the actors seem different in sizeabcd4. in the picture on the right, it seems that line ab is shorter than line cd, but in fact line ab is as long as line cd. which paragraph(段落) can explain what has happened to our eyes? a. the second one. b. the third one. c. the fourth one. d. the fifth one.bfor some people, music is no fun at all. about four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” people who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes(音调). amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale.as a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. life can be hard for amusics. their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. it can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. in fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. that is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. however, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “i used to hate parties,” says margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. by studying people like margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition.scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. the different is complex, and it doesnt include defective hearing. amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. they also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. scientists compare amusics to people who just cant see certain colors.many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed(诊断). for years, margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. now she knows that she is not alone. there is a name for her condition. that makes it easier for her to explain. “when people invite me to a concert, i just say, no, thanks. im amusic.” says margaret. “i just wish i had learned to say that when i was seventeen and not seventy.”5.which of the following is true of amusics? a. listening to music is far from enjoyable for them. b. they love places where they are likely to hear music. c. they can easily tell two different songs apart. d. their situation is well understood by musicians. 6.according to paragraph 3, a person with “defective hearing” is probably one who _.a. dislikes listening to speeches b. can hear anything nonmusical c. has a hearing problem d. lacks a complex hearing system 7.in the last paragraph, margaret expressed her wish that _. a. her problem with music had been diagnosed earlier b. she were seventeen years old rather than seventy c. her problem could be easily explained d. she were able to meet other amusics 8.what is the passage mainly about? a. amusics strange behaviors. b. some peoples inability to enjoy music. c. musical talent and brain structure. d. identification and treatment of amusics.cthe brown bear my wife laura and i were on the beach, with three of our children, taking pictures of shore birds near our home in alaska when we saw a bear. the bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly. just a few minutes later, i heard my daughter shouting, “dad! the bear is right behind us!” an aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. this one was silent and its ears pinned back- the sign (迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. and it was a cold april day. the bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.i held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. it bit down and i found myself supporting its weight. i knew i would not be able to hold it for long.even so, this was a fight i had to win: i was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.the bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. i raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. my arm could not move, and i sensed that my bones were going to break.drawing back my free hand, i struck the bear as hard as i could for five to six times. the bear opened its mouth and i grasped its fur, trying to push it away. i was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. the bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack- the first time i felt panic.apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. my arm was injured, but the result for us could hardly have been better. im proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different result.9.the brown bear approached the family in order to _.a. catch shore birdsb. start an attackc. protect the childrend. set up a barrier for itself10.the bear finally went away after it _.a. felt safeb. got injuredc. found some foodd. took away the camera11.the writer and his family survived mainly because of their _.a. prideb. patiencec. calmnessd. carefulnessdmost people agree that honesty is a good thing. but does mother nature agree? animals cant talk, but can they lie in other ways? can they lie with their bodies and behavior? animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. why? dishonesty often helps them survive.many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. for example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. when a predator (猎食动物) gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. how? it pretends to have a broken wing. the predator follows the “hurt” adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. scrub jays are also thieves. they watch where others bury their food and steal it. but clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. so they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. how? they dont make nests. instead, they get into other birds nests secretly. then they lay their eggs and fly away. when the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. after a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. when the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. but an animal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winners hand and start fighting again.chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. when chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. then other chimps come running. but some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. that way, other chimps dont hear them, and they dont need to share their food.as children, many of us learn the saying you cant fool mother nature. but maybe you cant trust her, either. 12.a plover protects its young from a predator by _ a. getting closer to its young b. driving away the adult predator c. leaving its young in another nest d. pretending to be injured 13.by chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky (paragraph 5), the author means _.a. chimps are ready to attack others b. chimps are sometimes dishonestc. chimps are jealous of the winners d. chimps can be selfish too14.which of the following is true according to the passage? a. some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others. b. the losing chimp won the fight by taking the winners hand. c. cuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests. d. some clever scrub jays often steal their food back. 15.which of the following might be the best title of the passage? a. do animals lie? b. does mother nature fool animals? c. how do animals learn to lie? d. how does honesty help animals survive?第二节 (共5小题; 每小题3分, 满分15分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并填写在答题卡相应题目处。选项中有两项为多余选项。once there was a very poor villager. he found it difficult even to support his family. 16 he walked about in the streets, but he did not get a job. one day, he met a rich businessman, who gave him the job of cleaning the office. the villager began his work and he even started reading and writing in his spare time.one day, the businessman saw that the villager was writing something. he said, “you can also read and write! your handwriting is very good.” 17 the villager began to do this job as best as he could. later, the businessman learnt that the villager was good at accounting, and he made him his shop accountant. the other accountants were very jealous of the villagers abilities. they told the businessman that the villager had a small room where he hid the money stolen from him. 18 one day, they had their chance. they saw the villager going into that room. 19 when they came back and opened the door, there was nothing in that room except an ordinary box.the villager was ordered to open the box with his own hands. and there was only a pair of dirty shoes and some old clothes. 20 at the same time, he was so angry with the jealous accountants that he fired them at once. the villager was made the only accountant for his office.a. he came to a big city hoping to find a job.b. they closed the door behind him and ran to the businessman.c. so the businessman decided to give the villager a good lesson.d. seeing this, the businessman was moved by what he had seen.e. so the villager was given the work of writing business letters for him.f. the villager wished that some kind people might give him a good job.g. but the businessman refused to believe them unless he had seen it with his own eyes.第二部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分55分)第一节 完形填空 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项，并填写在答题卡相应题目处。bobby buns was a very amusing and lively waiter who had his own cafe. he was also very 21 , because during a visit to a 22 he discovered one of the young cows there was pretty 23 . instead of producing milk, this cow produced milk coffee. 24 to become rich, bobby took the cow straight to the city. when he arrived, his wife told him that he should first reorganize the cafe so they had a place to 25 the cow. however, bobby was so 26 and impatient that he 27 this advice, and took the cow straight to the 28 .at first the result was quite 29 . the cow was featured in the newspapers and on tv. customers came from far to taste the delicious fresh milk coffee.however, after the 30 , it turned out that having a cow in the middle of a cafe was not at all 31 . every day the cow broke twenty or thirty cups simply by wagging (摇摆) its tail. the cafe smelt terrible. the hay the cow ate got spread all over the place. the cow left so little room in the cafe that there would be fewer customers 32 . 33 , the authorities came to do an inspection. they gave him such a heavy fine that bobby almost had to 34 the cafe. bobby buns realized that he had to be more patient and 35 . he should 36 until everything was ready before 37 his fresh milk coffee. 38 , bobby was a lucky guy. when the cafe was being reorganized, he took the cow back to the village. there he discovered that one of the hens laid chocolate eggs. this time he knew he had to be patient, and wait until everything was 39 . when everything was all 40 , his cafe became the most famous and successful in the whole city.21. a. braveb. cruelc. carefuld. fortunate22. a. townb. cityc. villaged. cottage23. a. specialb. healthyc. heavyd. clever24. a. intendingb. learning c. continuing d. failing 25. a. hideb. killc. selld. put26. a. bored b. excited c. ashamed d. angry 27. a. followedb. ignoredc. consideredd. valued28. a. yardb. homec. gardend. cafe29. a. impressiveb. awfulc. violentd. important30. a. advertisement b. disappointment c. excitement d. amazement31. a. strangeb. interestingc. naturald. proper32. a. joining inb. cutting inc. giving ind. stepping in33. a. unfortunately b. probably c. graduallyd. generally 34. a. forgetb. decoratec. closed. discover35. a. organizedb. eagerc. differentd. friendly 36. a. relaxb. waitc. predictd. dream37. a. reducingb. buyingc. inventing d. serving38. a. thereforeb. otherwisec. howeverd. instead39. a. prepared b. triedc. rememberedd. changed 40. a. in needb. in placec. in turnd. in peace第ii卷注意：将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。n= nicola a= annien. hi, annie. did you have a good holiday?a: oh, yes . i had a great time. 41 ive to tell you the most amazing thing happened.n: 42 ?
