Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since.The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan,named after the great Venusian astronomer Professor Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20,000 light years away.Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to feasibility (可行性) of a manned flying saucer landing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology.“We have come to the conclusion,based on last weeks satellite landing,” Prof.Zog said, “that there is no life on Earth.” “How do you know this?” the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked.“For one thing,Earths surface in the area of Manhattan is made up of solid concrete and nothing can grow there.For another,the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive.” “What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is concerned?” “We shall have to take our own oxygen with us,which means a much heavier flying saucer than originally planned.” “Are there any other dangers that you discovered in your studies?” “Take a look at this photo.You see this dark black cloud hovering (盘旋) over the surface of Earth.We dont know what it is made of,but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have further tests before we send a Venus Being there.”“Over here you will notice what seems to be a river,but the satellite findings indicate it is polluted and the water is unfit to drink.This means we shall have to carry our own water,which will add even greater weight to the saucer.” “If all you say is true,wont this set back the flying saucer program several years?” “Yes,but we shall continue as soon as the Grubstart gives us the added funds,” Professor. Zog replied.29. According to the passage, the Venusian scientists succeeded in getting important information about .A. the feasibility of landing a satellite on Earth B. the possibility of making a first-rate flying saucerC. the feasibility of sending a Venus Being to Earth D. the possibility of directing a flying saucer into Manhattan30. Why will the Venusian have to take their own oxygen with them when they carry out their flying saucer program?A. Because they need it on their way to the planet of Earth.B. Because the Earths atmosphere is filled with deadly gases.C. Because there is a low level of oxygen for Venusians.D. Because there is no air on the planet of Earth.31. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. landing a manned flying saucer on Earth will be carried out soonB. Venusians will land on Earth to help to stop serious pollutionC. its unnecessary to land a manned flying saucer on Earth at presentD. pollution on Earth makes it impossible for Venusians to survive there32. Where can you probably read such a passage?A. In a popular magazine. B. In a fairy tale. C. In an observation journal. D. In science fiction.BA MENTORING (导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities to Banbury youth.Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.Alex Goldberg,the programs founder, said:“We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.”“We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youth.For example,weve secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda.”“At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring,it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youth with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures.” Kieran Hepburn,14,is one of a group of Banbury youth who has benefited from the program so far.In October the Banbury School pupil was accompanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organizations (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛).The event was held for young people from around the world,to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. “Before we left I didnt quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didnt stop,it was amazing,” he said, “We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.”The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life.It dealt with issues (问题) such as drug abuse,violence and unemployment.Kieran said, “It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.”The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury.33. The Young Inspirations mentoring program aims to .A. train staff for world-famous firmsB. offer job opportunities to young adultsC. provide youth with unique experiencesD. equip the unemployed with different skills34. According to Alex Goldberg,it is difficult for schools to offer the mentoring due to .A. the lack of support from firmsB. the cultural differencesC. the effect of unemploymentD. the shortage of money35. We can learn from the passage that .A. the visit to the United Kingdom was amazingB. Kieran has made great progress in many aspectsC. the youth have found a way to solve their problemsD. the mentoring sessions are held every day except Friday36. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Alex Goldberg,Founder of Young InspirationsB. Young People Find a World of OpportunityC. Kieran,Banbury School Pupil to ParisD. Debates Help Youth with Their GradesCI decided to go back to school in the fall of 2008 after not being happy with my current job and financial status. I obtained my Associate Degree in May 2002 in Commercial Arts. After graduation,I had trouble obtaining a job in that field.For years, I was going from one job to another feeling unfilled, and I was not satisfied with the instability.I decided to go back to school for either International Business or Psychology. I weighed the pros and cons of both professions and Psychology won. I like helping my friends and family, when they go through hard situations in their life by giving them sound advice and being honest with them.Also,I was interested in “the mind”.I was searching for online schools because my work schedule at my current job would not allow me to attend a regular class. I was nervous about starting online classes because I heard mixed stories from other friends who were taking online classes. I decided to do it anyway to experience something different.I wanted to find an online school that was affordable and reputable.Through my search,I discovered Walden University,which is specially for working adults who want to obtain a bachelors degree or higher.The process of getting accepted was easy,which included writing an essay on why I wanted to attend their school, transferring my previous credits,etc.I am currently enrolled in the Bachelors program for psychology,and I am paying for college via financial-aid loans and grants. This experience has been interesting yet trying as sometimes it was difficult to balance work,school and home life. I learned a lot about psychology and myself. For example, I like writing about current events,relationships and traveling. I thought my English composition was ordinary, but after taking a few classes at Walden University, I improved my English composition and it made me feel confident enough to start writing professionally so I became a freelance (自由撰稿) writer.Currently, I am only three classes away from obtaining my Bachelors Degree in Psychology!It was one of the best decisions I made in my life.37. What did the author study originally when he was in college?A. Psychology.B. Commercial Arts.C. International Business.D. English Composition.38. What do we know about the author from Paragraph 2?A. He decided to study International Business at first.B. He wanted to study two majors.C. He liked Psychology better.D. He chose his major with the help of his friends.39. Why was the author nervous about starting online classes?A. Because he heard some negative remarks about it.B. Because he was worried that he didnt have enough time to study.C. Because he feared he would fail the entrance exam.D. Because he was afraid that he didnt have enough money.40. According to the passage, the author .A. was not able to find a full-time jobB. is most interested in writingC. paid for his schooling with the help of his familyD. is satisfied with his achievementsDIn an ideal world,people would not test medicines on animals. Such experiments are stressful and sometimes painful for animals, and expensive and time-consuming for people. Yet animal experimentation is still needed to help bridge vast gaps in medical knowledge. That is why there are some 50 to 100 million animals used in research around the world each year.Europe, on the whole, has the worlds most restrictive laws on animal experiments. Even so,its scientists use some 12 million animals a year, most of them mice and rats,for medical research. Official statistics show that just 1.1 million animals are used in research in America each year.But that is misleading. The American authorities do not think mice and rats are worth counting and, as these are the most common laboratory animals, the true figure is much higher. Japan and China have even less comprehensive data than America.Now Europe is reforming the rules governing animal experiments by restricting the number of animals used in labs. Alternatives to animal testing,such as using human tissue or computer models,are now strongly recommended. In addition, sharing all research results freely should help to reduce the number of animals for scientific use.At present,scientists often share only the results of successful experiments.If their findings do not fit the hypothesis being tested, the work never sees the light of day.This practice means wasting time,money,and animals lives in endlessly repeating the failed experiments.Animal experimentation has taught humanity a great deal and saved countless lives. It needs to continue,even if that means animals sometimes suffer. Europes new measures should eventually both reduce the number of animals used in experiments and improve the way in which scientific research is conducted.41. What is the main idea of this passage?A. The success of animal experiments should be ensured.B. A ban on the use of animals in the lab should be enforced.C. Greater efforts need to be taken to reduce the number of lab animals.D. Scientists should be required to share their research results with each other.42. Which of the following statements is TRUE about animals used in the lab?A. America uses only about 1.1 million lab animals per year.B. Europe does not use mice and rats as lab animals at all.C. Britain does not use as many lab animals as China does.D. Japan has limited data on the number of lab animals used each year.43. Which of the following is mentioned as an alternative to replace animal experiments?A. Statistical studies.B. Computer models.C. DNA planted in animals.D. Tissue from dead animals.44. What usually happens to unsuccessful animal experiments?A. They are not revealed to the public.B. They are made into teaching materials.C. They are collected for future publication.D. They are not removed from the research topic list.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well,the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently.45First of all, remember that you are not alone.Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. 46 What you need to do is find listening resources. The Internet is really a useful tool for English students.You can download The RealPlayer from the Internet. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis,you might still be frustrated (受阻) by limited understanding. 47Here is some of the advice I give my students:Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.Stay relaxed when you do not understand,and try listening to the material for more times.Do not translate everything into your native language.48Dont concentrate on details until you have understood the main ideas.Listen to something you enjoy.I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning,when I didnt understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind.49Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts. Firstly,translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm,I noticed that even if I didnt pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.A. What should you do?B. But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!C. However,after several weeks,I got used to the grammar rules.D. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible.E. This method usually resulted in confus
