On a TV program.BTibet is among the most popular places for Chinese tourists. The number of travelers of Tibet has grown by 10% every year for a few years. Since July

22、 1, 2006, when the first train ran 1956 kilometers from Xining to Lhasa, more and more people have been going to Tibet.The train stops at several famous places along the way, such as Qinghai Lake, Kunlun Mountain, and the Potala Palace. Passengers(乘客)can also enjoy many activities during the journey

23、, like Tibetan dancing and Karaoke.On the train, passengers can have tea, eggs and noodles for breakfast, and fried chicken and green vegetables for lunch and dinner. Unlike most Chinese trains which have open hole toilets, this one has special toilets which can collect the waste. There is also a sp

24、ecial rubbish system in the train that keeps the environment clean. All the windows on the train can protect people from the bright sunlight. TV and electrical sockets(插座)for computers and mobile phones can be found on the train.Because there isnt much oxygen there, trains will have oxygen masks for

25、 those who need them. It makes passengers feel more comfortable when they have enough oxygen on the famous “roof(顶部)of the world”.

The underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refers to(指代)_. A. oxygen masksB. doctorsC. oxygenD. passengersCWhen women sit together to watch a movi

27、e on TV, at the same time they usually talk about a lot of subjects, including children, men, careers and whats happening in their lives. When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screen-they cant do bot

28、h-and they dont understand that women can. Besides(此外), women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships-not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot (the story

29、 that is told in a novel or play or movie etc.) and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the small body language signals that show how the characters are feeling emotionally(情绪上). Since women originally spent their days with the other w

30、omen and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully in order to keep relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to connect to the facts.Men see the telephone as a communica

31、tion tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a way of keeping relationship. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.There is no convincing(令人信服的)evidenc

32、e that social conditioning, the fact that girls mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr. Michael Lewis, author of Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at, baby girls more often than bab

33、y boys. Scientific evidence shows parents reply to the brain differences of their children. Since a girls brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we therefore talk to them more. As a result, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short complaints in r

34、eply.51. While watching TV with others, women usually talk a lot because they _.A. are afraid of silence with their families and friendsB. can both talk and watch the screen at the same timeC. think they can have a good time and develop relationshipsD. have to explain the plot and body language to t

35、heir husbands52. After a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours in order to _. A. experience the happy time againB. keep a close tie with her C. recommend her a new wonderful placeD. remind her of something forgotten53. What does the writer want to tell

36、us most?A. Womens brains are better organized for language and communication.B. Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men.C. Men do not like talking because they believe more in facts.D. Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking.54. Which of the following would be

37、 the BEST title for the passage? A. Women Are Socially Trained to TalkB. Talking Keeps Relationships C. Women Love to TalkD. Men Talk Differently from WomenD“Who questions much, shall learn much, and remember much.”-Francis Bacon (1561-1626)It seems clear now how we achieve knowledge and understandi

38、ng. To start with, you need questions. Then, to find answers, you watch the world around you carefully and study the facts. After that you consider possible answers and test each to find the right ones. Although today we are more used to typing a few key words into a search engine and waiting for th

39、e Internet to show the answer to us, modern scientists and thinkers are still solving the worlds problems with this type of analysis(分析)-luckily for us.However, in the 17th century when Francis Bacon suggested that this type of thinking was the way to get knowledge, he was going against the opinions

40、 of the day. At that time, people believed more in religion(宗教)than in facts, and people like Galileo Galilei, who proved scientific ideas such as “the Earth is not the centre of the universe”, were often punished by the church with no one coming to their defence(抗辩). The church and many people paid

41、 no attention to the facts and were unwilling to change that they had always comfortably believed. They preferred to make assumptions(设想)about the world based on the experience of others. In fact, when Galilei proved that the Earth was not the centre of the universe, instead of believing him, people

42、 chose to believe old opinions put forward by the great philosopher Aristotle (384-322BC).This also shows how people didnt want to search for their own understanding or educate themselves. And this is still often true today. People feel that if someone important and respected says that something is

43、right, then it must be so. But even though Aristotle was a great man who encouraged many great scientists and philosophers to follow him, he was wrong at times. And Galilei also made mistakes. He is now known as the father of astronomy but he believed that the earth moved round the sun in a perfect

44、circle. He was wrong. Therefore our understanding of the world around us is growing and changing all the time. In other words, we learn more every day and none of us can ever sit back and say “We know it all.”We need to thank the great men of the past for the wisdom to know that we dont know it all

45、and probably never will, for that would mean a world without questions. So much of our knowledge and understanding of the world today is because of people like Bacon and Galilei, who were brave enough to step out from the shadows(阴影)of old thoughts in order to find the kingdom of knowledge that toda

46、ys civilization(文化)is built on. These men knew that knowledge and understanding are things to fight for: more energetic to a man, and more advantages to humans, some might say, than all the money in the world. “All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them

47、.”-Galileo Galilei (1564-1642)55. In Bacon and Galileos times, people would prefer to _.A. learn new things by watching the world around themselves B. need knowledge from church or experience of great ancestors(祖先) C. look for answers to their puzzles from scientists belonging to the present time D.

48、 explore knowledge out of facts they saw with their own eyes56. In this passage Bacon and Galileo are mentioned as examples for _.A. their great achievements in science B. their ambition(雄心)to doubt great ancestors C. their revolutionary(革新创新的)way of getting knowledge D. their preference(偏爱)to belie

49、ve in themselves rather than others57. Which of the following is the process(过程)the writer suggests to get knowledge?A. asking questions searching the Internet waiting the results finding answers B. getting knowledge and understanding asking questions answering questions C. watching the world asking

50、 questions studying facts finding answers considering possibilities(可能性) D. asking questions watching the world studying facts considering possibilities testing and finding answers第II卷（主观题 共40分）五、单词拼写（本大题共8分，每小题1分）(A) 根据句意，用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。1.
