Left in a bank it will hardly keep its value, however high the interest rate. Only a brave man, or a very rich one, dares to buy and sell on the Stock Market. Today it seems that one of the best ways to protect your savings, and even increase your wealth is to buy beautiful objects from the past. Here I am going to offer some advice on collecting antique clocks, which I personally consider are among the most interesting of antiques.I sometimes wonder what a being from another planet might report back about our way of life. The planet Earth is ruled by a mysterious creature that sits or stands in a room and makes a strange ticking sound. It has a face with twelve black marks and two hands. Men can do nothing without its permission, and it fastens its young round peoples wrists so that everywhere men go they are still under its control. This creature is the real master of Earth and men are its slaves.Whether or not we are slaves of time today depends on our culture and personality, but it is believed that many years ago kings kept special slaves to tell the time. Certain men were very clever at measuring the time of clay according to the beating of their own hearts. They were made to stand in a fixed place and every hour or so would shout tire time. So it seems that the first clocks were human beings.However, men quickly found more convenient and reliable ways of telling the time. They learned to use the shadows cast by the sun. They marked the hours on candles, used sand in hour- glasses, and invented water-clocks. Indeed, any serious student of antique should spend as much time as possible visiting palaces, stately homes and museums to see some of the finest examples of clocks from the past.Antique clocks could be very expensive, but one of the joys of collecting clocks is that it is still possible to find quite cheap ones for your own home. After all, if you are going to be ruled by time, why not invest in air antique clock and perhaps make a future profit?56. According to the passage, collecting antique clocks_.A. can hardly keep the value of your savings B. will cost much of your savingsC. may increase your wealth D. needs your bravery57. By quoting (引用) the remark of a being from another planet, the author intends to_. A. suggest human beings are controlled by a clockB. describe why clocks can rule the planet EarthC. tell readers what clocks look likeD. compare chicks to human beings58. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to measure the time?A. Counting the beating of ones own heart.B. Making use of candles, sand and water.C. Observing shadows cast by the sun.D. Keeping slaves busy day and night.59. The purpose of the passage isA. to introduce the culture of antique clocksB. to offer some advice on collecting antique clocksC. to compare different ways to make a future profitD. to explain convenient and reliable ways of telling timeMany animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda（大熊猫）eats only one particular type of bamboo（竹子）. Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly（蝴蝶）will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet（多样化饮食）. The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.60. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _.A. depend on one sense in choosing food B. are not satisfied with their foodC. choose food in similar ways D. eat entirely different food61. Which of the following eats only one type of food?A. The white butterfly. B. The small bird.C. The bear. D. The fox.62. Certain animals change their choice of food when _.A. the season changes B. the food color changesC. they move to different places D. they are attracted by different smells63. We can learn from the last paragraph that _.A. food is chosen for a good reason B. French and British food is goodC. some people have few choices of food D. some people care little about healthy dietCOur “Mommy and Me” time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. “I wish I could take one of my children out alone,” said Christie.Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, Ill watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, Ill take someone out.The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of “Mommy and Me” time. Christies daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. “Shes like a different child when theres no one else around,” Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didnt have to make an effort to gain attention.Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering（口吃的）son, Tom, doesnt stutter once during our activities since he doesnt have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, whos always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.The “Mommy and Me” time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child -talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves（应得到）to be an only child at least once in a while.64. What is the text mainly about?A. The experience of the only child being with mother.B. The advantage of spending time with one child at a time.C. The happy life of two families.D. The basic needs of children.65. Right after McKenzie came back, the other children were _.A. happy B. curious C. regretful D. friendly66. What is one of the changes the author finds in her children?A. The daughter acts like a leader. B. Sam holds her hand more often.C. The boys become better followers. D. Tom has less difficulty in speaking.67. The author seems to believe that _.A. having brothers and sisters is funB. its tiring to look after three childrenC. every child needs parents full attentionD. parents should watch others childrenDPeople who have lost the ability to understand or use words due to brain damage are called aphasics(失语症患者). Such patients can be extremely good at something else. From the changing expressions on speakers faces and the tones of their voices, they can tell lies from truths.Doctors studying the human brain have given a number of examples of this amazing power of aphasics. Some have even compared this power to that of a dog with an ability to find out the drugs hidden in the baggage.Recently, scientists carried out tests to see if all that was said about aphasics was true. They studied a mixed group of people. Some were normal; others were aphasics. It was proved that the aphasics were far ahead of the normal people in recognizing false speeches in most cases, the normal people were fooled by words, but the aphasics were not.Some years ago, Dr. Oliver Sacks wrote in his book about his experiences with aphasics. He mentioned a particular case in a hospital. Some aphasics were watching the president giving a speech on TV. Since the president had been an actor earlier, making a good speech was no problem for him. He was trying to put his feelings into every word of his speech.But his way of speaking had the opposite effect on the patients. They didnt seem to believe him. Instead, they burst into laughter. The aphasics knew that the president did not mean a word of what he was saying. He was lying!Many doctors see aphasics as people who are not completely normal because they lack the ability to understand words. However, according to Dr. Sacks, they are more gifted than normal people. Normal people may get carried away by words. Aphasics seem to understand human expressions better, though they cannot understand words.68. What is so surprising about aphasics?A. They can fool other people. B. They can find out the hidden drugs.C. They can understand language better. D. They can tell whether people are lying.69. How did the scientists study aphasics?A. By asking them to watch TV together. B. By organizing them into acting groups.C. By comparing them with normal people. D. By giving them chances to speak on TV.70. What do we learn from this text?A. What ones says reflects how one feels.B. Aphasics have richer feelings than others.C. Normal people often tell lies in their speeches.D. People poor at one thing can be good at another.56-59 CADB 60-63 CAAD 64-67ADDA 68-70 DC D第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节: 任务型阅读（共10小题，每题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每空只填一词阅读材料The number of people easy to be attacked by floods around the world is expected to rise to at least two billion by 2050, particularly in Asia, due to climate change and population growth, a UN expert has warned. One billion people, a sixth of the worlds population, are currently under threat from any major flooding and the number could double unless measures are taken, said Janos Bogardi, UNESCO water services division chief. “The small island states are most in danger. Their very existence is in danger, even if the number of people living there is not very large,” Bogardi told AEP(法新社). “Other events linked with floods could lead to the disappearance of some states like the Netherlands. Rising sea levels is leading to rising river levels,” he added. The figure of two billion is a conservative estimation.”His warning issued ahead of the opening on Tuesday of the new University Environment and Human Security Institute in Bonn, western Germany. The causes, Bogardi says, are extreme weather that develops as the climate changes, rising sea levels, continuing deforestation and a rise of the number of people working in flood-prone areas as the population increases. Most at risk is Asia, where more than four hundred million people have been exposed to floods each year on average over the last two decades and where flood damage totaled one hundred and thirty-six billion dollars between 1987 and 1997. floods already kill as many as twenty-five thousand people a year a
