Its the center of the national government. Its a busy，working city with a large population. But what is more，Washington is also a city of history and culture. Washington was created in 1790，when Congress(国会)decided to place the nations new capital in the east of the country. It was built halfway between the northern and the southern states of the America. And of course it was named after George Washington，the first President of the United States. There are many tourist sights in Washington. One of them is the White House. This is the home and office of the President of the United States. Most visitors are，however，surprised by how small the White House actually is.Washington is also a great culture city. The Library of Congress contains(包括)one of the largest library collections in the world. The Smithsonian Museum holds the nations largest collection of cultural materials. And John FKennedy Center is a famous center of art and culture. It has many great musical and theatre performances throughout the year.21The writer mainly talks about_.AWashington Bthe history of WashingtonCbuildings and sights in WashingtonDthe history and culture of Washington22From the passage we know that Washington is situated(位于)in_.Athe east of the USA Bthe center of the USACthe east，on the middle point from north to south of the countryDthe east and halfway away from the north23The writer introduces Washington in the order(顺序)of _.Ageneral introduction，sights and history Bgeneral introduction，history，sights and cultureCpopulation，history and culture Dhistory and culture24It can be learned from the passage that_.AWashington is the largest city in the USA BWashington is also the center of economic in the USACWashington is a young city Dit is situated in the west of the USABMost of the sandstorms that had swept China last year came from foreign land，a Chinese official in charge of desertification（荒漠化） control said on Monday. And the invasions(入侵)could partly explain the frequent sandstorms in the country in recent years despite its achievements in desertification control.Since the start of last spring，the north and northwestern Chinese regions had been hit by 17 sandstorms，of which，a dozen came from foreign land.Situated in the centralAsia sandstorm region，one of the worlds four largest sandstorm sources，China also suffers from sandstorms from outside the country while being blamed as a sand source to northeast Asia. The other three major sources are in Africa，North America and Australia.The land suffering from desertification has been decreasing by 7,585 square kilometres annually in China，and the area of sandy land has also been falling by 1,284 square kilometres a year.The shrinkage(收缩)forms a clear contrast to the fact that the land suffering from desertification and sandy feature was added by 10,400 square kilometres and 3,436 square kilometres late last century，respectively.Currently，the desertification land in China makes up 2.64 million square kilometres，accounting for 27.46 percent of the nations land，and its sandy land totals 1.74 million square kilometres，accounting for 18.1 percent of the countrys total.25What does the underlined word “decreasing” mean in Paragraph 4?AGoing down.BGoing up.CComing from. DTaking up.26Where do most of the sandstorms in China come from?AThe northwestern Chinese regions. BThe northern Chinese regions.CThe western part of China. DForeign countries.27Which of the following is believed to be the sand source to northeast Asia?AMongolia. BAfrica. CChina. DAustralia.28What can we infer from this passage?AThe land in China suffering from desertification has been increasing greatly.BChina has made achievements in its own desertification control.CThe desertification land makes up nearly half of Chinas territory.DLittle progress has been made in controlling desertification in China.CDifferent people like doing different things；different people have different hobbies. My brother is fond of collecting stamps. He has a very good collection and he is proud of it. His stamps can tell you about different people and different countries. My brother often says that his hobby is popular with people of all ages.Collecting stamps is easy and interesting. It is great fun. You begin to learn many interesting facts about history and famous people when you start to collect stamps. At first people collect every kind of stamp. But soon they begin to make special collections. Sometimes they specialize in stamps of one subject only，for example，birds，animals，flowers or sports. Birds or sports，are your theme(主题)This kind of collecting is called thematic. My brothers collection is thematic. His theme is fish. My best friend，Alice，is a collector too. She is fond of collecting badges(徽章)Her collection is also thematic. Her theme is sports. She keeps her badges on the wall. When you come into her room you can see them all there.My grandfather collected coins when he was a boy. Some people collect dolls. My uncle does. When he travels he always brings home dolls from different countries. Some people collect pictures，cups，toys，toy soldiers，books，pencils and many other things.But collecting things is not the only hobby people have. Some people are fond of travelling or gardening. Very many boys and girls are fond of sport and that is their hobby. My aunts hobby is taking pictures and my mother is fond of music. If you have one，what is your hobby?29The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to_.AStamps Bbadges Cbirds Dflowers30From the last paragraph，we can infer that_.Athe writers hobbies are travelling and gardeningBcollecting is a favorite hobby of many peopleCdifferent people have different hobbiesDboys have different hobbies from those of girls31Which of the following is the best title for the text?AInteresting hobbies BWearing badgesCCollecting stamps DEnjoying music32The author develops the third and the fourth paragraphs mainly by_.Acause and effect Border in spaceCorder in time DexamplesDLast Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, destroying fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged that their owners had to leave them，and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs. One person was killed，several were badly hurt and taken to hospital，and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm.A farmer，Mr.Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour.“I was eating with my wife and children，”he said，“When we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him，safe but very frightened.”Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.“There was no time to take anything.” she said，“A few minutes later，the roof came down.”Soldiers helped to take people out of the flooded area and the welfare department(福利机构)brought them food，clothes and shelter.33How many homes altogether were damaged in the storm?AFourteen.

Ive always looked at friends as the family we choose. They enrich our lives. As Robert Louis Steven once said，“_37_” To be a good friend or partner，its important to be a good listener. Hear what your friend or mate has to say first rather than jump to conclusions or get defensive._38_When they hear their words repeated back to them，it can help them to realize what they said was not exactly what they meant to say._39_You know the old golden rule，“Care for others the way you would like them to care for you.” The support of a friend during a tough time could make the difference between success and failure. Encouragement and confidence are the gifts that can help change a persons life.Take care，though，with whom you choose to have close relationship，for they can have a great effect on yourselfrespect and life path. As someone once told me，“_40_They will either take you up or down.”AI am afraid so.BIt is quite true.CFriendship is the most important factor.DSometimes it is useful to be their mirror.EA friend is a present which you give yourself.FThe attitudes of your friends are like the buttons on a lift.GPatience，sympathy and understanding are also important qualities.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1. 5分，满分30分）。阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。The eyes are one of the most expressive instruments of body language.
