One reason for their interests is that cards from around the world come in a wide variety of different and often very attractive design. There are 100,000 different cards in Japan alone, and there you can put your own design onto a bank card simply by using a photograph or a business card. The first telephone cards, produced in 1976, were Italian. Five years later, the first British card appeared, and now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries. People usually start collecting cards because they are attractive, small and light, and they do not need much space. It is also a cheap hobby for beginners, although for some people it becomes a serious business. In Paris, for example, there is a market where you can buy only telephone cards, and some French cards cost up to 4,000 pounds. The first Japanese card has a value of about 28,000 pounds. Most people only see cards with prices like these in their collectors magazine.41. The passage is mainly about _. A.the history of phone cards B.phone card collecting as a hobby C.reasons for phone card collecting D.the great variety of phone cards42. When did people in Britain begin to use phone card? A. In 1971. B. In 1975 C. In 1976 D. In 198143. The main reason for most people to collect phone cards is that _. A.they find the cards beautiful and easy to keep B.they like to have something from different countries C.they want to make money with cards D.they think the cards are convenient to use44.

A.card collecting is popular among young people B.French and Japanese cards are the most valuable C.people can make money out of card collecting D.card collectors magazines are very usefulBA Train Floating On AirA train that floats on air? Its not magic its magnets（磁）And its close to realityIn Virginia USA the fall of 2002, a train with no wheels traveled on air and carried college students across their campusIn Japan, a whisper-quiet railway engine hovered and raced at 350 miles per hour using magnets and electricity as the powerAnd in China, a magnet train line linked Shanghai with nearby Pudong AirportThese trains use magnetic levitation（悬浮）technology, “maglev” for shortThey use the same rules as the magnets you pick up at home or school: opposite poles of magnets attract each other, and like poles repel each otherHow does it work?Powerful magnets on the bottom of the train repel magnets on the track, which is actually just a magnet-filled guiding way. With a magnetic field of sufficient force, the train will go hovering on air, which seemed impossible to us in the pastWhen an electrical current is sent through the track, the train movesTurn the current backwards and the train slows downMaglev doesnt rely on the friction（摩擦力）of wheels on track, so it can climb a much steeper hill than a traditional trainAnd it can travel easily in snow and ice, something that could bring normal trains to a screaming stopKs5u45This passage is about A. maglev B. magnets C. levitation D. electricity46What can we learn from the text?A. A magnet-filled guiding way is formed inside a maglev trainB. Instead of electricity, magnets are used as the power of a maglevC. Maglev trains can climb hills with the help of magnet wheelsD. Electric currents decide the movements of a maglev train47What is the difference between a maglev train and an ordinary train?A. A maglev train can climb mountains without power while an ordinary one cantB. A maglev train can travel in college campus while an ordinary train is not allowedC. Travelling without a track, a maglev train is safer and smoother than an ordinary oneD. Floating on a track, a maglev train is faster, quieter than an ordinary railway trainCDepend on yourself. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself. There have been many great men in history. But many of them were very poor when they were young, and had no uncles, aunts or friends to help them. Schools were few and not very good. They could not depend upon them for education. They saw how it was, and set to work with all their strength to know something. They worked their own way till they became well-known. One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, “I cannot make worthy men of you, but I can help make men of yourselves.” Some young men do not try their best to make themselves valuable to society. They can never gain achievements unless they see their weak points and keep improving themselves. They are nothing now and will be nothing as long as they live, unless they accept the advice of their parents and teachers, and depend on their own efforts.48. Which of the following titles fits this passage best? A. How to Become Famous B. What Helps to Make a Good Teacher C. Men Must Help Each OtherD. Depend on Your Own Efforts49. If young people depend on their own efforts, _. A. they are more likely to succeed in their lives B. they are sure to be famous in the world C. they will need no advice from their parents and teachers D. they will be nothing as long as they live50. From this passage we can see that the writer_. A. is a man with a strong will B. shows great respect for teachers C. is in favour of those who struggle for success D. feels it important to accept the advice of others第二节 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。选项中有两项为多余项。（共5题：每小题2分，共10分）It is really hard to say which is better than the other, city life or rural life. 51 Living in a city, people have certain advantages. First, people enjoy various entertainments, both foreign and domestic. Second, there are more cultural activities in a city. Third, city people gain access to better information service and educational facilities. 52 The overcrowded population, traffic jam, housing problem, industrial pollution and other issues may result in depression, nervousness and diseases. Life in the villages and on the farms is very different from life in the city. Living in the country, people can enjoy living in pure nature. 53 But rural life may not be that perfect. People usually lack cultural activities. They are relatively ill informed. 54 And people miss some golden opportunities of making a fortune. Opportunities for bright young people are greater in the cities, so the chances of their children being admitted to college are slim.Obviously, whatever life they lead, people can never feel perfectly satisfied, for conveniences and inconveniences always coexist. People wish that they could enjoy the pleasures of both lives. With the rapid economic development, nowadays city people can relax themselves in the country during vacation. 55 A. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages.B. Things go fairly slowly there.C. Villagers and farmers are likely to show a great deal of interest in all their neighbors.D. They lead a simple and trouble-free life.E. However, problems exist.F. And country people have chance to experience city lifestyle when they come to cities.G. City life is obviously much more comfortable.第卷（非选择题 共30分）第三部分：写作（共三节，满分30分）第一节 完成句子（共20空，每空0.5分，满分10分）56. 她热爱教育事业，对工作严格要求。She loves teaching and_ _ _ her work.57. 我发现了一种学习数学的新方法。I have found a new _ _ the study of maths.58. 从地震中幸存下来我感到很幸运。 I feel _ _ the earthquake.59. 越努力学习，越会取得进步。 _ _ you learn, the more progress you will make.60. 随着房价的升高，越来越多的人买不起房子了。With the price of an apartment _ _ , more and more people cant _ _ buy an apartment.61. 到目前为止，太原已经建立起了很多高楼大厦。So far, a lot of high-rise buildings _ _ _ _ in Taiyuan.62. 我的护照过期了。My passport is _ _ _.第二节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（），并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词作斜线（）划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2. 只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。One day I happened to find a chatting room on QQ, there people were chatting in English.
