All the animals lined up on the river bank and 32 (give) the task of getting to the opposite shore. The cat wondered how he would get across 33 he was afraid of water. The ox worried how he would cross 34 his poor eyesight. The calculating rat suggested that he and the cat 35 (jump) onto the oxs back and guide him across. The ox, steady and hard-working, did not notice the two animals on his back. In the meanwhile, the rat ran behind the unsuspecting cat and pushed 36 into the water. As the ox came ashore, the rat jumped off and finished the race first. 37 the rat got the first year 38 (name) after him and the ox got the second year. 39 the lazy pig reached the finish line in 12th place the race was over and he was awarded the final place on the calendar.

Its citizens are fundamentally prosperous and the way of life in the major cities and towns is much the same however many miles divide them. It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.However, there is some difference in lifestyle between city dwellers and the country people. Almost 90 per cent of the population lives in the fast-paced cities along the coast and has little more than a passing familiarity with the desert. The major cities preserve pockets of colonial heritage, but the overall impression is modern, with new buildings reflecting the countrys youth. In contrast, the rural communities tend to be slow-moving and conservative. For many years, Australia was said to have “ridden on the sheeps back”, a reference to wool being the countrys main moneyearner. However, the wool industry is no longer dominant. Much of Australias relatively sound economy is now achieved from natural coal and wheat, and by being the largest diamond producer in the world. Newer industries such as tourism and wine making are also increasingly important. Australians are generally friendly and relaxed, with a self-deprecating sense of humour. On the whole, Australia is a society without hierarchies (等级制度), an attitude generally held to stem from its prisoner beginnings.Yet, contrary to widespread belief, very few Australians have true prisoner origins. Within only one generation of the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788, Australia had become a nation of immigrants. Originally coming almost entirely from the British Isles, today one in three Australians comes from elsewhere. Australias liberal postwar immigration policies led to an influx of survivors from war-torn Europe, most notably Greeks, Italians, Poles and Germans.The emphasis has shifted in recent years and today the majority of new immigrants are from Southeast Asia. Today Australia is a blend of nations and although some racism exists, it has generally been a successful experiment and the country is justifiably proud to have one of the most harmonious multicultural communities in the world.41What does the writer mean by saying “It takes a sharp ear to identify regional accents.” in the first paragraph? AAustralians speak Standard English with no local accents whatsoever. BYou have to practice a lot to learn to understand the different accents. CThe Australian regional accents are very difficult to understand indeed. DThere is not much difference between the accents in different areas of Australia.42Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?AMost Australians have ancestors who were prisoners.BThe Australian economy is dependent on sheep exports.CThe majority of people living in Australia come from Europe.DThe pace of life is different in the city and in the country.43The underlined pronoun it in the final paragraph refers to “_”.AcommunityBracismCblend of NationsDSoutheast Asia44We can infer from the passage that _.Athere are no signs of Australias colonial past in its modern citiesBAustralias recent immigration policy encourages immigrants from Southeast AsiaCimmigrants from Southeast Asia have brought racial problemsD“riding on sheeps back” resulted in slow development in rural communities45This passage mainly focuses on Australias _. Asociety Beconomy Cracial problems DhistoryBHe is a lesson to every boy who ever picked up a basketball and dreamed that it would change his life.The lights were never brighter and the crowds were never bigger for a homegrown sports hero than they were a quarter-century ago for Ray Hall. But his athletic achievements, as impressive as they are, are to my mind not what is most admirable about the man.Known as “Sugar Ray” in his teens, Hall was rated among the countrys top 25 high school basketball players. An inner-city kid from a solid family, Hall took on the challenge of lifting Canisius College still recovering from its failure back to respectability, rejecting more favorable offers. His status of a savior (救世主) brought more pressure than any 18-year-old should have to handle, however, I watched him matured into the player who led Canisius back to daylight.After college Hall played professionally in Italy and Greece for over 10 years until a car accident at 32 ended his basketball career. The news that he would never play again shocked Hall but unlike so many others he was ready for life after basketball. When I met Hall still fit at 46 for lunch Monday, he wore a cut-sharp gray suit, designer tie and blazing white shirt that screamed Success. “That was always the question when the cheers end, where do you go? Who do you turn to?” he said. “It starts and ends with that person in the mirror.”Hall got the concept of academics-first from his parents. He graduated from Canisius a semester early. “No matter how good of an athlete you are, you are just one injury away from losing it all,” he said. “But if you take care of things academically, you are prepared until you leave this earth.”For the past 14 years, he has been in a computer sales job at Ingram Micro. He married his college sweetheart. They have three kids and a nice house in the suburbs. He figured out early what others learn too late: Athletics is part of a journey, not the destination.Congratulations, Ray, you made it. In more ways than one. 46Ray was regarded as a savior because _.Ahe liked to take on challengesBhe helped his team to regain its gloryChe was faithful to his hometown cityDhe fought hard against failure at a young age47According to the writer, which of the following best describes Rays success?AUnlike other athletes, he was academically superior.BHe defeated his injury and returned to the playground.CHe enjoys a successful job and a happy family.DHe has gained impressive athletic achievements.48Whats the right order of the events related to Ray?aHe was ranked among the best high school basketball players.bHe was in a car accident.cHe graduated from Canisius College.dHe started his computer sales job.e. He gave up his athletic career.Aa, c, b, e, d Ba, c, e, b, d Cc, a, b, d, e Dc, a, e, b, d49We can learn from the passage that _.ARay was from an academic family BRay was very mature in his teens CRay was once desperate facing the cruel realityDathletics was not Rays final goal in life50What was the writers intention in writing this passage?ATo describe the difficulties of being a professional athlete.BTo explain the importance of choosing the right college.CTo emphasize the need for a good education.DTo warn against playing professional basketball.CSongs that make our hearts happy can make them stronger too, US researchers reported on Tuesday.They found that when people listened to their favorite music, their blood vessels (血管) dilated in much the same way as when they are laughing, or taking blood medications. We have a pretty impressive effect, said Dr Michael Miller, director of preventive cardiology (心脏病学) at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore. Blood vessel diameter improved, he said. The vessel opened up pretty significantly. You can see the vessels opening up with other activities such as exercise. A similar effect is seen with drugs such as statins.When blood vessels open up more, blood flows more smoothly and is less likely to form the clots (凝块) that cause heart attacks and strokes. We are not saying to stop your statins or not to exercise but rather to add this to an overall program of heart health, said Miller, who presented his findings to a meeting of the American Heart Association in New Orleans. Millers team tested 10 healthy, non-smoking men and women, who were told to bring their favorite musicThey spent half an hour listening to the recordings and half an hour listening to music they said made them feel anxious while the researchers did ultrasound tests designed to show blood vessel function.Compared to their normal baseline measurements, blood vessel diameter increased 26 percent on average when the volunteers heard their joyful musicListening to music they disliked in most cases in this group heavy metal blood vessels narrowed by six percent, Miller said. Miller said he came up with the idea after discovering that laughter caused blood to literally flow more smoothly. I asked myself what other things make us feel real good, besides calories from dark chocolate of course. Music came to mind. It makes me feel really good, he said. Most of the volunteers chose country music but Miller said the style is not so important rather than what pleases each individual.51The underlined word dilate (in paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “_”. Awiden Bmove Cchange Dincrease 52According to the passage, which of the following will NOT cause blood vessels to open up?ATaking exercise. BListening to unpleasant musicCBursting into laughter. DTaking drugs like statins.53It can be inferred from the passage that _. Ablood clots are caused by heart attacks and strokesBmusic is better than chocolate for your health Cthe style of music has different effects on different peopleDa persons overall health is more influenced by how much exercise he gets54What is the passage possibly taken out from? AA scientific journal. BA school textbook. CA medical brochure. DA local newspaper.55Whats the best title of the passage? APleasant Music Cures BResearch into Blood Vessel CMusic and Heart Attack DMusic and Happiness 第二节 信息匹配 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。（请将56-60题的答案写在答卷纸的相应位置上！）以下是一些旅游项目的简介：ASea kayaking in TurkeyEnjoy beautiful scenery on Turkeys Turquoise Coast.
