He is a very skilled man sometimes. He sends his drill more than a mile into the earth. During the process of drilling, gas and oil at great pressure may suddenly be met, and if the drill rushes out and catches fire, that oil well may never be brought into operation at allThis danger is well known and steps are always taken to prevent itThere is a lot of luck in drilling for oilThe drill may just miss the oil although it is nearOn the other hand, it may strike oil at a fairly high levelWhen the drill goes down, it brings up soilThe soil is examined for traces of oilIf they are disappointed at one place, the drillers go to anotherA lot of money has been spent, for example, in the deserts of Egypt, in “searching” for oil; sometimes little is foundWhen we buy some petrol for our cars, we pay for not only the cost of the petrol, but also part of the cost of the search that is always going on45The underlined word “drilling” in this passage means _Adoing exercises Bsearching for oil Cpreventing fires Dtraining workers46The driller is unlucky when the drill_Agoes very near the oil without striking itBbrings up oilCstrikes oil at a fairly high level Ddoes not bring up oil47The soil the drill brings up is _Auseful Bpoor Cof no useDcolorful48The cost of unsuccessful drilling is _Amet by the driller Bpaid by the governmentCincluded in the selling price of petrol Dreturned by the oil wells49According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?AThe drillers are the kings of the oil fields and engineers are their peopleBThe drillers always send their drills more than a mileC.

Coral mining, industrial pollution and poisonous agricultural runoff all play a role in their destruction, but the fishermen have been the worst offenders. They not only bomb fish but also poison them with cyanide (氰化物), an equally destructive practice. The fishermen are also among the biggest potential victims (受害者). Two thirds of Indonesias 7,000 coastal villages are close to coral reefs and thus depend for their livelihood on the harvest of reef fish The disappearing reefs are already leading to a dramatic decline in the productivity of coastal fisheries and to increasing fights among fishermen Indonesias reefs are vast-they cover51,000 square kilometers , surround 17,500 islands and stretch 3,500 kilometers but they are not infiniteMany foreign experts and Indonesians fear that the regions entire marine environment could be seriously damaged if the reefs keep dying at their present rate “The overall picture is depressing ,” says Ian Dutton , Indonesian director of an environmental group Depressing, but not hopeless. Despite the destruction, environmentalists have in recent years made significant progress in changing the hearts and minds of the fishermen.Working closely with local Indonesian authorities in North Sulawesi and less populated eastern Indonesia, where most of the countrys reefs are located, they have succeeded in preventing destructive fishing practices and coral mining from overwhelming the reefs.Increasing numbers of fishermen are waking up to the threat and protecting the life-sustaining coral before its too late. Nuhung, a 56-year-old fisherman, says, “I always knew blast fishing was harmful. Then I suddenly realized that by bombing the reefs I was destroying not only my own but my childrens future.”53In the text the author .Apresents us some facts and peoples opinions as well YCBshows that hes worried about the situation , but still feels a little hopefulCsays hes delighted and meanwhile , depressedDdisagrees with whats being done and gives suggestions54The underlined word “infinite” in the 2nd paragraph most probably means Aincomplete Bshort Cunfit Dlimitless55Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the text ?ABut for the fishermens protection , the reefs would disappear soon BMore and more fishermen have realized their mistakes CWithout the coral reefs , the fishermen would have nothing for their livelihood DSome practical measures have been taken to stop the situation worsening 56The fishermen are named “worst offenders” because Athey defend their rights of mining the coral reefs too eagerlyBthey wake up too late to realize the terrible situationCthey use the fishing ways , which destroy the coral reefsDthey pretend to follow the governments rules57Which of the following show the mentioned fishermens ways of fishing ?A&B&C&D&（E）Youve probably had the experience of having someone fall in love with you when you didnt return the feeling. In such a case its hard to know what to do. You want to discourage your admirer. Yet you dont want to be so obvious in your efforts that you make an enemy of him.A friend of mine had this problem and handled it in the most tactful way Ive ever seen. Instead of telling the young man that she found it tiresome to have him around so much, she devoted herself to introducing him to every girl she knew.Whenever she had a date with him, she arranged for them to drop in at the home of one of her girl friends. After a few weeks it took for him to click with one of these girls, and then everyone was happy.The new girl and the young man got along just fine and both of them were grateful to my friend for having brought them together.Of course you may have your own way of dealing with the problemBut whatever you decide to do, keep one thing in mind-the boy in question has feelings every bit as sensitive as your ownSo try to find a way of discouraging him without hurting him58The best title for this passage would be _AHow to make a friend BProblems of datingCGood advice for girls DHow to free yourself from an admirer59The main idea of this passage is _Ait is possible to discourage an admirer without hurting his feelingsBthere are many solutions to the problems of datingCan admirer has feelings every bit as sensitive as our ownDits tiresome to have someone around too much60The authors friend solved her problem by _Atelling her admirer she got tired of having him around so muchBkeeping on dating with her admirerC avoiding meeting the young man any moreDbringing the young man together with another girl and still having him as a friend(F)The people below are all looking for a department in a college to learn musicAfter the description of these people, there is information about six departments AFDecide which department would be most suitable for the person mentioned in questions 61-65 and then mark the correct letter (A-F) on your answer sheetThere is one extra paragraph about one department which you do not need to use_ 61Greg was born in a workers familyHis grandfather was a musician, so he wants to learn to play drums and at the same time he wishes to study classical music_62Robert started to play the violin when he was fiveHis favorite style of music is country musicHis wish is to learn both of them further and become a violinist in the future_63James is fond of music, but his wish is to be a computer expertHe especially loves the sound of the drum and he likes rock_64Though Harry is only fourteen years old, he has been learning to play the piano for nearly ten yearsHarry says the best instrument is the pianoHe expects to be a pianist in the futureIn his spare time he likes to listen to opera_65Kevin likes jazz very muchHe wants to make a living by it in the futureHis favorite instrument is the guitar and he also wants to get his skill of playing the guitar betterAIn this department they dont intend to bring up a musicianThey teach the students how to appreciate all types of music, especially for the students who loves to be a listener, not a player of the drumThis is their first choiceBIn this department they have risen to fame by some great violin players born thereThe students there have several comfortable places to practise their violin and some other instrumentsMeanwhile the stude
