Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest problems is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, man moved to another place. But this is no longer true.Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.Air pollution is still the most serious. Its bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air. Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. We are sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in pollution at the same time.56. _ ，our world is becoming much smaller.A. Thanks to science developmentB. Because of the rise in pollutionC. Because the earth is being polluted day and nightD. Because the earth is blown away by the wind every year57. Hundreds of years ago, life was _ it is today.A. much easier than B. much harder than C. as easy as D. as hard as58. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution because _ .A. it makes much noiseB. it makes us angry more easilyC. its bad for all living things in the worldD. it makes our rivers and lakes dirty59. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution.B. The pollution of the earth grows as fast as the world population does.C. If people could go to work by bus or bike instead of car or motorbike, it would be helpful in fighting against the problem of SO2.D. The problem of pollution is not so serious because there are not so many people living on the earth.BGrandma Moses is among the most celebrated twentieth century painters of the United States, yet she had barely started painting before she was in her late seventies. As she once said of herself, “I would never sit back in a rocking chair, waiting for someone to help me. ” No one could have had a more productive old age.She was born Anna Mary Roberson on a farm in New York State, one of five boys and five girls. (“We came in bunches, like radishes.”) At twelve she left home and was in domestic service until at twenty-seven, she married Thomas Moses, first in Virginia and then in New York State, at Eagle Bridge. She had ten children, of whom five survived；her husband died in 1927.Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery(刺绣) pictures as a hobby, but only switched to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff （僵硬的）to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time. Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a fair, and were soon spotted by a dealer who bought everything she painted. Three of the pictures were exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art, and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York. Between the 1930s and her death she produced some 2000 pictures: detailed and lively portrayals（绘画）of the rural life she had known for so long, with a marvelous（不可思议的）sense of color and form. “I think really hard till I think of something really pretty, and then I paint it. ” She said.60. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Grandma Moses: a famous painter.B. The children of Grandma Moses.C. Grandma Moses and other older artists.D. Older artists.61. According to the passage, Grandma Moses began to paint because she wanted to_ .A. decorate her home B. increase her incomeC. keep active D. gain an international reputation62. From Grandma Moses description of herself in Paragraph 1, it can be inferred that she was_.A. wealthy B. pretty C. independent D. shy63. The underlined word “spotted” in Paragraph 3 could be replaced by_ .A. signed B. sold C. damaged D. noticedCYou wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing（使人沮丧的）tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others pity or respect.When you communicate with positive people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the dagger of a negative person is put in you, you feel the heavy feeling that all in all, brings you down.Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a coworker, or relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to a negative person, but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they wont feel ashamed of themselves about that.Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling（紧附）to you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.64. The purpose of the first paragraph is to_ .A. make a comparison（比较） B. introduce a topicC. offer an evidence D. describe a daily scene65. How can negative people have an effect on us?A. By changing our way of thinking.B. By telling us the nature of life.C. By influencing our emotion.D. By comparing their attitudes to life with ours.66. Some negative people base their happiness on_.A. other peoples pity for them B. other peoples respect for themC. building up a positive attitude D. making other people unhappy67. According to the passage, to reduce negative peoples influence on us, we are advised_ .A. to change negative peoples attitude to lifeB. to show our dissatisfaction to negative peopleC. to make negative people feel ashamed of themselvesD. to communicate with negative people as little as possibleDSince 1984, Philadelphia has been cleaning up its act. One by one ，graffiticovered （涂鸦覆盖）walls are being changed into outdoor art. So far，more than 1800 murals(壁画) have been painted. Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city.The walls that were once ugly with graffiti are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art，thanks to the Mural Arts Program(MAP). Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens very proud. The program began as part of Philadelphias AntiGraffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAPs artistic director. “When people ask me what our program is about, ”she says, “I answer them with one word : hope. ”Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some onetime graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.The MAPs work，says Golden，is all about developing a sense of community(社区). When a neighborhood requests a mural，the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been“ Safe Streets，”“Love and Care，”and“ Peace Walk. ”The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year ，the workers painted 140 murals.“The making of a mural enters peoples collective memory as an extraordinary, pleasant moment in neighborhood history，” says Golden，who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.68. What can be the best title for the text?A. Hope, One Wall at a TimeB. MAP，a New Company in PhiladelphiaC. Jane, an Excellent Mural ArtistD. Love，from Graffiti Writers to Muralists69. What is the Mural Arts Program in Philadelphia aimed at?A. Helping the young find jobs. B. Protecting the neighborhood.C. Attracting more visitors. D. Fighting against graffiti.70. Which of the following words best describes the work of the MAP?A. Difficult. B. Dangerous. C. Experimental. D. Successful.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。MuzakThe next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear? 71 Its similar to the music you listen to, but its not exactly the same. Thats because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you dont even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.Quiet background music used to be called elevator (电梯) music because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name Muzak. About one-third of the people in America listen to Muzak everyday. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired. 72If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters dont want their songs to be used as Muzak, but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why? 73Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background. 74 Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more things.75 . They say its boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another, Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak!AMuzak tends to help people understand music better.BMusic is playing in the background.CThe music gives them extra energy.DSome people dont like Muzak.EThey get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used.FMuzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world.GFactory workers produce 13 percent more.第II卷（共35分）第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节 短文改错（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）下面短文中有10处错误,每句最多2处错误,请在有错误的地方增加、删除或修改某个单词。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面加上该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写上修改后的词。注意：1.每处错误及其修改仅限一词；2.只允许修改10处，多者（从11处起）不计分。3.在答题纸上答题It all started a few months before when postage went up.
