When he appeared, I was on my knees examining to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the culprit（罪犯）. He severely _48_ me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, _49_the manager did not.IV. Cloze ( 15 分 ) Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. When a student takes notes in a lecture, he has to do four things. First of all, he has to understand what is said. _50_a speaker says, a student cant stop him in order to look up a new word or check an unfamiliar sentence _51_. The second thing the student has to do is to _52_ what is important in the lecture. Often, the lecturer _53_ this directly or indirectly. If he says The next point is important, the student will have _54_ difficulty. The lecturer may, however, use a more informal _55_. A sentence such as This is the crunch , meaning this is the really important point, will often cause difficulty. Many lecturers _56_, or speak more slowly and loudly when they are making an important point. If the student cant _57_ these indirect signals, hell find it difficult to decide what is important. The third task that _58_ the student is that he has to write down the important points. There are two more problems here _59_ deciding what is important. One is speed. The other is clarity (清晰). The student should use_60_forms, write down the important information words and write one point on each line. He ought to, if possible, choose a moment to write when the lecturer isnt giving _61_ information. Finally, the students notes must show the _62_ between the various points he has noted. If he makes intelligent use of spacing and underlining, together with the use of _63_ signs and the numbering of points, he will be able to understand the _64_ of the lecture more easily. 50. A.

Reading Comprehension ( 35 分 ) Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. ( A )Picture the scene: the battery on your mobile phone has run out. You cant make any calls for help and no one can contact you. You are all alone-well, not quite. Just reach into your pocket and take out a piece of sugar. Put it into the battery, wait a minute and youre back on the phone. Thanks to a couple of American scientists, this situation could become real. Swadesh Chaudhuri and Derek Lovley have invented the “bacteria battery”-powered by bacteria that eat sugar and turn it into electricity. “This is a special organism,” Lovley said. “You can harvest enough electricity to power a cell phone battery for about four days from a spoonful of sugar.”In the past, bacteria batteries have been expensive and not long-lasting. But this battery uses more efficient bacteria that can turn 80 percent of sugar into electricity energy. This is 30 percent more than similar batteries can manage. The bacteria battery could become as small as a household battery. Its also cheap and stable, as sugar can be taken from waste and crops. But the sugar to electricity process is slow: it could take weeks for the bacteria to digest a cup of sugar. And it produces “greenhouse” gases which pollute the environment. The scientists understand there is a lot more work to be done. “It is still young,” said Lovley. “Where we are now is where solar power was 20 or 30 years ago.” But he believes the battery could be used in scientific equipment at the bottom of the ocean. Other ideas include using sugar in the blood to run medical devices in the human body, and taking sugar from animal waste to provide energy to power homes in rural areas. 65. Which of the following is NOT the strong point of the newly-developed battery? A. Convenient.B. Stable.C. Inexpensive.D. Quick. 66. How will the scientists improve the new battery? A. Increase the bacteria.B. Solve the pollution problem.C. Bring down the price.D. Change the size.67. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph actually means_. A. the bacteria battery shares some similarities with solar energy. B. scientists will continue their work until they find solar energy. C. there is much room for the improvement of the bacteria battery. D. the bacteria battery will get popular in 20 or 30 years. 68. According to the passage, who will find the bacteria battery less useful? A. Farmers.B. Divers.C. Doctors.D. Electricians.
