I met people whose lives amazed me, made me 21 and weep. But none touched me more than a woman I 22 up late one August night.I was responding to a call in a quiet part of town. When I arrived at 2： 30 am, the building was 23 except for a single light in a ground floor window. I walked to the door and 24 .The door opened. A small woman in her eighties 25 before me. By her side was a small suitcase. I took the suitcase to the 26 and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked 27 toward the taxi. She kept 28 me for my kindness.Whep we got into the taxi, she gave me a(n) 29 and asked, “Can you drive through downtown?”For the next two hours, we drove 30 the city. She showed me the building where she had 31 worked as an elevator operator. We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived 32 they were newlyweds. She 33 me pull up in front of a house that had once been a ballroom where she had gone 34 as a girl. Sometimes shed ask me to slow in front of a particular building and would sit 35 into the darkness, saying nothing.As the day 36 , we got to the address she had given me. It was a hospice (临终关怀医院). Two men nurses came out to the taxi as 37 as we pulled up. They must have been 38 her. I took the small suitcase to the floor.“You gave an old woman a little moment of 39 ,” she said. “Thank you.” I pressed her hand gently, then walked into the dim morning. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the 40 of a life. I didnt pick up any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly, lost in thought.21AcryBlaughCshoutDspeak22AputBtookCheldDpicked23AbrightBlightCdarkDtall24AaskedBknockedCstruckDbeat25AstoodBsatClayDsmiled26AtaxiBhouseCbuildingDstreet27AslowlyBhurriedlyCfastDquickly28AaskingBlookingCthankingDtaking29AaddressBletterCbookDmoney30AoverBaboveCthroughDtowards31AalwaysBneverChardlyDonce32AthenBwhenCbecauseDalthough33AaskedBwantedCpromisedDhad34AdancingBsingingCdrawingDplaying35AstaringBglaringCseeingDwatching36AroseBraisedCbrokeDcaught37AlongBfarCwellDsoon38AwaitingBexpectingClookingDinspecting39AjoyBrestCsadnessDsorrow40AwelcomingBopeningCbeginningDclosing第二部分 阅读理解 （共25小题。第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分）第一节 阅读下列短文 ， 从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AThe desire to make explorations is born with man. Wherever his imagination goes, man also has a strong wish to go. A large part of human history is connected with the exploration of the world in which we live. Again and again people have set out with surprising courage and patience to look into unknown regions and lands to see what had not yet been seen, to make known the unknown. With kites, balloons and aircraft they left the ground to pass through the lower atmosphere. Now the outer space receives their attention.Why should man take the trouble of conquering space? It is hard to list the specific practical benefits that will result. But one knows, from past experience in other areas, that man will surely see and discover new things in space that will increase our scientific knowledge, and this new knowledge will find its way into valuable practical uses. What we learn about man himself, from his experience in space, and from the effects of space and the space flight environment on him, will be extremely valuable. The new techniques developed to carry out the exploration of space, and to keep man alive in space, will certainly find practical uses in everyday life in some way. The areas that will benefit are manifold. They include communication, generation of power, transportation and travel, food production, materials, fuels and many others. But to say definitely just what the practical results will be is almost impossible.41 The main idea of the first paragraph is thatA man desires to explore what is unknownB man often goes wherever his dreams goC man is no longer interested in the study of the land and sea nowD mans history is his exploration of the world.42 The word “manifold” in the second paragraph probably means A vast.B various.C valuable.D practical.43 The author seems to be in favor ofA doubting the necessity of the space explorationB the exploration of spaceC exploring more in space than in seaD his experience in space.44 In the last sentence of paragraph 2 the phrase “the practical results” refers to the resultsA that are obtained from experience.B that can be learned as knowledgeC that can be made use of.D helping us make further exploration.BThe U.S. government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map. This map shows the changes of an earthquake in each part of the country. The areas of the map where earthquakes are most likely to occur are called earthquake “belt”. The government is spending a great deal of money and is working hard to help discover the answer to these two questions: 1. Can we predict earthquakes? 2.Can we control earthquakes?To answer the first question, scientists are looking very closely at the most active fault(断层) systems in the country, such as the San Andreas fault in California. A fault is a break between two sections of the earths surface. These breaks between sections are the places where earthquakes occur. Scientists look at the faults for changes which might show that an earthquake was about to occur. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes accurately. And the control of earthquakes is even farther away.Nevertheless, there have been some interesting developments in the fields of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4000 metres below the surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection(注射)of water, there was a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into the rocks work like oil on each other. When the water “oiled” the fault, the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was released. Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a connection between the injection of the water and the earthquake activity. They have suggested that it might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big, destructive earthquakes, that is, scientists could inject some kind of liquid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes.45 Earthquake belts areA maps that show where earthquakes are likely to occurB zones with a high probability of earthquakesC breaks between two sections of the earths surfaceD the two layers of earth along a fault.46 The San Andreas fault isA an active fault systemB a place where earthquakes have been predicted accuratelyC a place where earthquakes have been controlledD the location of the Rocky Mountain.47 What did scientists learn about earthquakes at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal?A They occur at about 4000 metres below ground level.B The injection of water into earthquake faults prevents earthquakes from occurring.C They are usually caused by the oil in the faults.D Harmful earthquakes can be possibly prevented by causing small harmless earthquakes.48 What can be said about the experiments at Rocky Mountain Arsenal?A.They have no practical value in earthquake prevention.B. They are certain to have practical value in earthquake prevention.C. They may have practical value in earthquake prevention.D. The article does not say anything about their practical value in earthquake prevention.CEvery autumn, as families across the United States get ready to send their kids to college, the economics of higher education receive renewed attention. College is expensive and becoming more so in the U.S.The situation raises two questions: Why does it cost so much, and how can students and their families afford it?Several studies published in the past few weeks reflect on these questions. The findings provide comfort to poor families.First, it appears that only the minority actually pay the “high price”. A study by the US Education Departments National Center for Education Statistics found that 55 percent of college students last year received some forms of helpscholarships, loans(贷款)or jobs.Other factors are also at work. The government has increased the size of its grants (补助金) to lowerincome students. Grants, unlike loans, dont have to be repaid and are awarded only to college students who have not earned a bachelors or professional degree.At the same time, most colleges are spending more on undergraduate education than they are collecting in tuition fees. A study, which is part of the Williams College Project on the Economics of Higher Education, reaches the conclusion that on average colleges “subsidize (资助)” their students.The results of these studies, however, leave unanswered the questions of whether educational costs are higher than they need to be. Some experts argue that much of the college cost results from educational competition for fame, students and facilities.This puts upward pressure on tuition, but many colleges feel that good fame will enable them to attract students even if they charge them more.Therefore, until something important changes in the marketplace, costs seem likely to continue rising. And American families will continue to beat down the doors of the high price college in the end.49 From the fourth paragraph of the passage we can conclude thatA American families earn only a little money every yearB American families pay little attention to educationC American students often have to stop their studiesD American colleges have different ways to help poor students.50 In the writers opinion, for students from lowerincome families, the best way isA to find a good job and make money .B to borrow money from the banksC to ask for grants.D to borrow money from friends.51 It can be inferred that in AmericaA famous colleges only accept rich studentsB famous colleges charge their students more moneyC the government spends little money on educationD families often break the doors of colleges.52 The writer of this passage seems to hold the opinion thatA college fees rise too fast for poor familiesB poor people should borrow money from banksC poor people dont need to send their children to collegeD colleges should get more money to improve themselves.DEvery city in the world has taxis to take tourists to interesting places. London is the only city in the world where taking a taxi is an interesting experience for tourists. This is partly because of the special black cabs, which are found in no other country. But it is also because of the drivers themselves. While British people are famous for being polite and reserved, London taxi drivers are well known for their willingness to talk.Some customers say that once the door shuts and the cab moves off they are a captive audience. It is impossible to get the taxi drivers to stop talking.“Theyre selfconfident and free thinking,” says Malcolm Linskey, the author of a history of taxi drivers in London. “They answer to nobody but themselves and that comes across in their conversation.”They are also expensive. London has the most expensive taxis of any city in the world except Tokyo. Thats why Ken Livingstone, the mayor of London, is planning to make taxi drivers discuss their fares with customers before they take a ride.Drivers agree that their fares are expensive. Thats because their black taxis cost more than other cars, they say. And the customer is also paying for a more driving expertise than anywhere else in the world. Before someone can qualify as a London taxi driver, that person has to pass a text known simply as “The Knowledge”. This involves memorizing the name and location of every street within six miles of a point in the exact center of London. The trainee must also learn the exact location of every important building within these streets. Finally he or she must be able to use this knowledge to work out the shortest distance between any two destinations within this area.It can take up to three years to pass “The Knowledge”. Every day it is possible to see trainee taxi drivers on the streets of London, taking careful notes of popular destinations before finding the route to their next stop. Cab driving is a job often handed down in families. Many taxi drivers take their children out in their spare time to memorize routes they will need to know when it is their turn to “do The Knowledge.”The effect of this is to make London taxi drivers experts at their job. They also have bigger brains. Recent research by scientists at the Institute of Neurology in London found that the hippocampusthe part of the brain that remembers thingswas larger and more developed in cab drivers. They have to fit the whole of London into their heads, so their brains grow bigger.53 Taking a taxi in London is an interesting experience for tourists because of the following statements except thatA the drivers are talkativeB the drivers are selfconfident and free thinkingC the special black cabs cant be found in other countriesD the drivers are polite and reserved.54 Taking a taxi in London is very expensive becauseA the black cabs are the safestB the drivers answer to nobody but themselvesC the drivers are the most qualifiedD the drivers can discuss their fares with customers before the ride.55 It can be inferred from the passage thatA “The Knowledge” is a test that can be done easilyB many taxi drivers tend to make their children taxi driversC London has the most expensive taxis in the worldD trainee taxi drivers are not often seen on the streets.56 London cab drivers have bigger brains becauseA their hippocampus is larger and more developedB they are experts at their jobC their heads are biggerD they have many streets and routes in their minds.EPeople can be addicted to different thingse.g. alcohol, drugs, certain foods, or even television. People who have such an addiction are compulsive; i.e., they have a very powerful psychological (心理的) need that they feel they must satisfy. According to psychologists, many people are compulsive(强迫性的) spenders; they feel that they must spend money. This compulsion, like most others, is irrational impossible to explain reasonably. For compulsive spenders who buy on credit, charge accounts are even more exciting than money. In other words, compulsive spenders feel that with credit, they can do anything
