BMaking mistakes is part of life. If you try to live a life without making mistakes, youll probably never be able to leave your own home. Then you wont be leading a life at all. The same rule applies（遵循）when learning a language. The only way to learn English without making mistakes is not to talk. But if you dont talk, you dont practice and dont learn. Grammar and vocabulary are very important. And if you notice the mistakes inside of those, you should try to correct them. But dont let fear of making a mistake keep you from talking. You have to break out of the fear. And youve to start making mistakes right now. Because not until you make mistakes can you correct them. And only when you correct them can you get better. Remember youve to crawl（爬） before you can walk, youve to walk before you can run. So I want everyone to open up their mouths and start talking as much as possible, so that you can find out what your mistakes are, and then help yourself to talk better.34. The writer tells us _.

Usually a baby can _.A. walk after he can crawlB. run before he can walkC. walk before he can crawlD. run as soon as he can walkCDo you think there is too much noise in our city? If you live near an airport, you will be unhappy because a plane makes a loud noise. The sound of planes or heavy vehicles is likely to cause deafness if heard continuously（持续地）.However, most people in our city do not seem to mind noise. They like to enjoy music when they are doing uninteresting jobs. It is a new danger because pop music, when played through powerful amplifiers(扩音器),can reach 120 decibels(分贝)at a distance of five feet. A continuous noise of over 85 decibels can cause deafness, It was discovered that many young people in America could hear no better than 65-year-old people.In the past we used to think that only workers in very noisy places would become deaf. For example, when newspapers and books are being printed, the noise level is over 85 decibels, and some of the workers become deaf. Today, however, scientists believe that 10 percent of the workers in Britain are being deafened by the noise.Sometimes noise of less than 85 decibels can make some people tired and stressed. We all know that too much noise makes life difficult and unpleasant. It can do great harm to peoples health and prevent people from working well. Workers in noisy offices are not as efficient(效率高的) as those in quiet offices. Noise makes people less efficient. Can anything be done to reduce or control noise?In Britain the government has made several laws to reduce noise. Though the government has spent a lot of money in making airports and main roads quieter, many people think that there are still not enough laws. For example, there are no laws to control the noise of machines. In Japan, America and Norway there are such laws. As a result, workers can be given compensation(赔偿) *if they become deaf.38. Some workers become deaf because of_. A. hard workB. a continuous noise of over 85 decibels C. powerful amplifiers D. uninteresting jobs39. Noise below the level of 85 decibels_. A. can affect some peoples moods B. cannot do any harm C. can cause sudden deafness D. can make office workers efficient40. In Britain there are laws to_. A. stop workers from becoming deaf B. control the noise of machines C. keep down noise D. help deaf workers in need41. Who can be given compensation if they become deaf?A. American workers. B. British workers.C. Both American workers and British workers D. None of the above answers.DIn the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic(学业的) achievements and felt confident that their degree（学位）would help them to find a good job. However, in the past four years the job market has changed greatly. This years college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of San Jose State University, got a degree in religious（宗教）studies, but no job prospects. He points out that many people are getting laid off（解雇）and dont have jobs, so its even harder for new college graduates to find jobs. Four years ago, the future looked bright. There were many high-tech job chances. Graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries（薪水）and benefits such as insurance(保险) and paid vacations. However, Times have changed and its a new market, according to an officer of the San Jose State Career Center. The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several short-time jobs.Ryan Stewart (he had hoped to become a teacher) may go back to school in order to become a college teacher. He thinks college teaching could be a good career even in a bad economy.In conclusion, these days a degree may not be a ticket to instant wealth for some students. For now, they can only hope the value of their degree will increase over time.42.The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means _.A. skills B. interests C. chances D. ideas43. Ryan Stewart will have to _. A. change his major B. get a job teaching C. go back to school D. become a religious leader44. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means _. A. the best way to get rich is not to get a college degree B. most students with degrees will not be able to find jobs C. having a college degree does not mean that one has money for travelling D. a college degree does not mean that one will find a well-paid job45.

Ryan Stewart cant be able to find a jobC. salaries in some fields have increased in the past four yearsD. the job market has changed greatly over the past four years第卷(非选择题 共60分) 四、词汇(本题共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) A)请根据括号中的中文提示、英文释义或句意，写出句中所缺单词，使句子通顺。46.The doctor gave him some _(small round medicines) and told him not to worry.He will get well soon.47.We all think its an_ (very good) chance to practice our spoken English.48.
