His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties (地方特色菜） in Germany, Spain and France. At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named Campus Cuisine about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like make drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman s charisma is key. Food TV isnt about food anymore, says Flay. It s about your personality（个性）and finding a way to keep peoples eyeballs on your show. But Lieberman isnt putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show, Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company （航空公司） was looking for someone to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy-to-make menu to serve on its flights. Lieberman got the job.46. We can learn from the text that Lieberman s family _.A. have relatives in Europe B. love cooking at homeC. often hold parties D. own a restaurant47. The Food Network got to know Lieberman _.A. at one of his parties B. from his teachersC. through his taped show D. on a television program48. What does the word charisma underlined in the text refer to?A. A natural ability to attract others. B. A way to show ones achievement.C. Lieberman s after-class interest. D. Lieberman s fine cooking skill.BThey say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon(大峡谷); on foot, on mules(骡子) or by air. We chose the first. Up early; my husband and I and our three children couldnt wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldnt help noticing that the other tourists werent like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed, As the sun rose higher, Arizonas famous heat seemed to roast(烘烤) us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly.The next day, after wed had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world.We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed(翻转)the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, “STOP, TAKE US BACK!” When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally Id suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.49. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?A. They made a careful preparation before the tripB. They children were more joyful than their parents.C. Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.D. The summer heat prevented them from enjoying the view.50. The underlined expression “Our legs were like jelly” probably means .A. we were weak B. we were unhappyC. we were dissatisfied D. we were disappointed51. Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air?A. It proved to be frightening. B. It was more comfortableC. It turned out to be exciting D. It made each of them tired.52. We can infer from the passage that .A. experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best wayB. one needs to dress less when visiting the Grand Canyon.C. the writer was not serious when she made the suggestion.D. the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accident.CPhotographs are everywhere. They decorate (装饰) the walls of homes and are used in stores for sales of different goods. The news is filled with pictures of fires, floods, and special events. Photos record the beauties of nature. They can also bring things close that are far away. Through photos, people can see wild animals, cities in foreign lands, and even the stars in outer space. Photos also tell stories.Reporting the news through photos is called photojournalism. At times photojournalists tell their stories through a single picture. At other times, they use a group of pictures to tell a story. Each picture is like a chapter in a book, which can do more than record the facts. It can also be a strong force for social change.Jacob Riis was among the first photojournalists. He took pictures of parts of New York City where the poor lived. Riis believed that poverty(贫穷)caused crime, and he used photos to help him prove his point. A few years later, the photos of small children working in factories by Lewis Hine shocked the public. Hines pictures helped bring about laws to protect such children.Hundreds of pictures may have to be taken in order to get one or two really good photos. It takes science to have the photo come out clearly and art to make a photo that has a good design and expresses feeling. Photojournalists make an actual record of what they see. A photo, however, can be both a work of art and an actual record. It can record an important event as a beautiful or exciting picture.As historical and artistic documents(文献) , photos can become more important over time. Today photojournalists still have their pictures appear in newspapers and magazines. They also publish(发表) them in books and on the Internet.53. The underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refers to .A. beauties B. photos C. goods D. events54. The photos of the small children by Hine show us that photos .A. are also works of art B. are popular ways of reporting newsC. often shock the public D. can serve as a force for social change55. What can we learn from the passage?A. News with pictures is encouraging. B. Photos help people improveC. News photos mean history in a sense. D. People prefer reading news with pictures.56. The text is mainly about .A. telling the story through picture B. decorating the walls of homesC. publishing historical papers D. expressing feeling through picturesDMost people want to know how things are made. They honestly admit, however, that they hardly know a thing when it comes to understanding how a piece of music is made. Where a composer （作曲家） begins, how he manages to keep going - in fact, how and where he learns his trade -all are covered in complete darkness. The composer, in short, is a man of mystery （神秘）.One of the first things the common man wants to know about is the part inspiration （灵感） plays in a composer s work. He finds it difficult to believe that composers are not much interested in that question. Writing music is as natural for the composer as eating or sleeping for all. Music is something that the composer happens to have been born for.The composer, therefore, does not say to himself: Do I feel inspired? He says to himself:Do I feel like working today? And if he feels like working, he does. It is more or less like saying to himself: Do I feel sleepy? If you feel sleepy, you go to sleep. If you dont feel sleepy, you stay up. If the composer doesn t feel like working, he doesn t work. It s as simple as that.57. What would be the best title for the text?A. Composer: a man of mystery B. Practice makes good musicC. Relation between sleeping and music D. Music: product of nature58. The words covered in complete darkness underlined in Paragraph I most probably meanA. difficult to be made B. without any light C. black in color D. not known59. Most people seem to think that a composer _ .A. finds it difficult to write musicB. considers it important to have a good restC. should like to talk about inspirationD. never asks himself very simple questions60. The author will most probably agree that composers _A. are born with a gift for musicB. are people full of mysteryC. work late at night for their musicD. know a lot about eating and sleeping第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）下面有五段文字，每段文字说明一个主题。把短文后六个小标题（AF）与文章中所标出的五个段落（1-5）匹配起来，AF中有一个选项为多余选项。61._Paris, the capital and the largest city of the country, is in north central France. The Paris metropolitan area contains nearly 20% of the nations population and is the economic, cultural, and political center of France. The French government have historically favored the city as the site for all decision making, thus powerfully attracting nearly all of the nations activities.62._Paris has grown steadily since it was chosen as the national capital in the late 10th century. With the introduction of the Industrial Revolution, a great number of people moved to the city from the country during the 19th century. The migration was especially stimulated by the construction of railroads, which provided easy access to the capital. After World War II more and more immigrants arrived.63._The city is the centralized control point of most national radio and television broadcasting. It is a place of publication of the most prestigious(有威望的)newspapers and magazines and an international book publishing center. With more than 100 museums, Paris has truly one of the greatest concentrations of art treasures in the world. The Louvre, opened as a museum in 1793, is one of the largest museums in the world.64._In the late 1980s about 4.1 million pupils annually attended about 47,000 elementary schools. In addition, about 5.4 million students attended some 11,200 secondary schools. Approximately 1.2 million students were enrolled annually at universities and colleges in France in the late 1980s.
