girl to show how beautiful and great our town is. All the girls are eager to
get this position in an effort to become popular. It was not an easy choice this year, since there were eight girls to
choose from. The elder judge finally decided that either Sara or May would get
the position. Both girls were beautiful with extraordinary appearance. Besides,
they had a good education and cared about how pollution had a bad effect on the
earth. Most important, both girls got up early to eat eggs at their breakfast.
Eggs were important to people of the east because our economy depended mainly
on the production of eggs. “Either
girl will win, ”my father said.“But someone will cry in the end.” “Either
will be find,”I said. “They are
both great girls.” The final round was held at the east edge of our town. Sara lived nearby
so she did not need to get up early to arrive. However, she was the first
person there. “You know what they say about the
early bird,”she said with a smile. However, May arrived fifteen minutes late to the competition. “It”s the taxi driver”s fault,”she said.“I
told him to head east, but he was in one ear and thought I said Bread Cheese.”You know, Bread Cheese was the name of our neighboring town. I thought May would certainly lose because she was late, but to my
surprise, she turned out to be this year”s
winner. The judges liked her answer to their last question,“If you could have anything in the world, what would it be?” Sara had replied,“World peace.”May, on the other hand, said, “Better market
to have our eggs sell well.” 56. Why was it difficult to make a choice this year? A. The girls just looked alike. B. People had to choose from eight girls. C. All the girls wanted to get the position. D. The judges couldn”t agree with
each other. 57. In the passage the underlined sentence “ You know what they say about the early bird.”means . A. she liked the early bird very much B. she was sure that she would succeed C. she lived nearby, so she should get there early D. she wanted to show off her good language knowledge 58. Why was May chosen in the end? A. Because her answer was cleverer and exact. B. Because she gave a different answer from Sara”s. C. Because she looked more beautiful than the other girl. D. Because her answer was more practical than the other girl. 59. According to the passage, which of the following maps is correct?
B Brazil and Barcelona forward Ronaldinho has been named the 50th European
Footballer of Year at a great party in Paris held towards the end of 2005. Ronaldinho, 25 years old, became the third Brazilian to win the title
after Ronaldo, who won it in 1997 and 2002, and Rivaldo, who won it in 1999. “To
be here with all those great players is a dream. This gives me huge
encouragement to keep working and try to do well. I have the chance to do for a
living what I like most in my life, and that”s playing
football. I can make people happy and enjoy myself at the same time,”said Ronaldinho after receiving the golden cup at the party. There was no way Ronaldinho could not succeed, as he was always full of
uncontrollable desire for football. He would play on the dirt, in the wood,
even in his living-room � nothing else stayed in his mind. He began to
shine on the international games when he was 17, helping Brazil win the
Under-17 World Championship（锦标赛）. He was
on his way to becoming one of the world”s greatest
players, with his role in Brazil”s World Cup victory in
2002. With 22 goals in his first year in Barcelona, he received football”s most valuable honor in 2004:the FIFA World Player of the Year. “He
isn”t only able to win games on his own, he keeps our
spirits high because he is always in a good state of feelings,”says his captain.“You can challenge him,
push him, trip him and even prevent him on purpose � nothing can stop
him. And it shows in his games. He”s not satisfied with
moving the ball from one point to another; he has to dance it away. And with
every match, Ronaldinho creates a new signature move. When nothing seems
possible, he can do.” 60. The nationality of Rivaldo is _________. A. French B. English C. Brazilian D. Spanish 61. How old was Ronaldinho when he first joined Barcelona? A. 17 years old. B. 25 years old. C. 20 years old. D. Less than 25 years old. 62. We can conclude from the passage that the author wants to give us an
introduction of ____. A. the great honors he received in recent years B. a great and gifted Brazilian football player C. a famous sportsman in the world D. European Footballer of Year 63. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. At the age of 17 Ronaldinho helped his country to win the World Cup. B. Ronaldo won the title - European Footballer of Year twice. C. He is more interested in football than in anything else. D. His fans want to get his signature after every game. 64. In the opinion of his captain, Ronaldinho ______. A. has to sign his name before every football game B. is not satisfied with every match he played in C. is able to do almost everything possible D. can make his teammates in high spirits C Some houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example
of the second type of house won a Prize of Excellence from the American Club of
Architects（建筑师）. On the shore of Sullivan”s Island off
the coast of South Carolina, the prize - winning beach house was built to
replace one destroyed to pieces by Hurricane Hugo 10 years ago. In September
1989, Hugo struck South Carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or pulling
down 36,000 homes in the state. Before Hugo, many new houses built along the shore were poorly
constructed, and the instructions for building were not strict, according to
architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly - designed beach house. All new
houses are required to follow stricter instructions after the terrible
experience in Hugo. The new houses on the island should be able to stand a
terrible hurricane with the strongest wind of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour. At first sight, the house on the island looks anything but hurricane -
proof. Its redwood roof makes it look like “a
large bright ball”at night, according to one observer.
But looks can be not true. The wooden formation of the house is supported with
long steel sticks to give it huge strength. To further protect the house from
hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on wood pilings,
part of which were buried in the sand. In fact, they are strong enough to bear
the weight of the house. They also lift the house above the sea water brought
by the hurricane. The pilings allow the sea water to run under the house
instead of running into it.“These waves of water come
ashore at great speed and cause most of the damage done to the beach - front
buildings,”said Huff. 65. After the disaster caused by Hurricane Hugo, new houses built along
South Carolina”s shore line are required ________. A. to be easily constructed B. to look smarter in design C. to meet strict building standards D. to be designed in the shape of lamp 66. Huff raised the house 2.7 meters off the ground on wood pilings in
order to ______. A. put stronger pilings in the sand B. break huge sea waves into small ones C. stand the strong wind of about D. prevent water from rushing into the house 67. According to the passage, which statement CANNOT be true? A. The report above was written in 1999, ten years after Hugo. B. The house designed by Ray Huff lay on the coast of South Carolina. C. When a hurricane strikes, waves of water come ashore at a great speed. D. The formation of the new house can make it stand a terrible hurricane. D A historical change is taking place in middle-school education. Teachers
are being asked to answer as never before for how well they serve their
students. It has become as common in middle schools for students to grade
teachers as for teachers to grade students. In fact, student ratings(评价) have become the most widely used and in many cases,
the only important information on teaching effectiveness. In comparing three
studies of the same 600 middle and high schools in more than thirty states, it
was found that the number of schools using student ratings to evaluate teachers
had climbed from 29 percent to 68 percent to 86 percent. No other method of
evaluation got that degree of usage, and other studies have found similar
results. One reason that student evaluations of teachers have become so popular is
that they are easy to carry out and to score. But they are also easy to put to
wrong use. If they are expected to throw meaningful light on teachers” performance, the ratings must be used in a way that shows at least some of what we”ve learnt about them from research and from experience. Research and experience have shown us, for example, that student ratings
should never be the only basis for evaluating teaching effectiveness. There is
much more to teaching than what is evaluated on student rating forms. When
ratings are used, we know that students should not be expected to judge whether
the materials used in a course are up to date or how well the teacher knows the
subject matter of the course. These judgments that require professional
background are best left to the teacher”s
fellow workers. On the other hand, students should be asked to comment what
they have learned in a course, and to report on such things as a teacher”s ability to communicate at the students”
level, general behavior in the classroom, relationship with the students, ability
to develop interest in the subject and ways to encourage students to teach
themselves. 68. The central idea of the passage is that _______. A. student ratings are the only way to learn about teaching effectiveness B. other methods are better than student ratings in evaluating teachers C. it is quite right to make student ratings popular in the country D. student ratings are very popular and should be properly used 69. In Paragraph 2, the underlined expression“throw meaningful light on teachers” performance”means . A. judging teachers” teaching
ability and understanding of the course B. making teachers” performance
clear and understood to all C. having a mean opinion of teachers”
performance D. speaking highly of the teachers”
performance 70. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. Students should not be asked questions that require professional
background. B. Student evaluations are popular because they are extremely accurate. C. Student ratings can be used in all the schools in any case. D. Student ratings are already used in almose every school. 71. In student ratings, all the questions can be asked except“ ”. A. Can the teacher make himself easily understood? B. How does the teacher deal with the students? C. Are students interested in what is taught? D. Is what is taught by the teacher new? E Some experts feel that cars are certain to fall into disuse. They see a
day in the not - too -distant future when all cars will be deserted and made
useless. Other experts, however, think the car is here to stay. They hold that
the car will remain a leading means of city travel in the foreseeable future. The car will undoubtedly change greatly over the next 30 years. It should
become smaller, safer, and more practical, and should not be powered by the gas
engine. The car of the future should be far more pollution - free than present
types. Unless changes take place in the power system, the car in the future will
still be the main problem in city traffic jams. One suggested solution to this
essential problem is the automated（自动的）system, which seems to hold water. When the car enters the highway system, a small arm will drop from the car
and connect with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains
electrically. Once joined to the rail, the car will become electrically powered
from the system, and control of the car will pass to a central computer. The
computer will then monitor all of the car”s
movements. The driver will use the telephone to dial instructions about his position
and the place he heads for into the system. The computer will find the best way
and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway.
The driver will be free to relax and wait for the call that will warn him of his
coming exit. It is believed that an automated highway will be able to deal with
10, 000 cars per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 cars that can be
carried by a present-day highway. 72. What is the main concern of the author of the passage? A. How to make cars pollution -free. B. How to make cars smaller and safer. C. How to solve the problem of traffic jam. D. How to develop an automated subway system. 73. We can infer from this passage that _______. A. the car connected to the rail on the highway will be powered by
electricity B. the lack of oil is forcing people to find new means to power
automobiles C. the driver under the system will be told where to get out of the
highway D. the future car will become larger, faster, prettier and less expensive 74. What provides cars with electric power in an automated highway system? A. An engine. B. A rail. C. A computer controller. D. A small arm. 75. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. The driver puts his information in the system by e-mail. B. The new system can deal with 10 times as many cars as the present one. C. After entering the automated system, the driver needs to do nothing but
relax himself. D. Some experts are not confident of the future, while the author is in favor
of the opposite view. 第二卷（共35分） 第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分35分） 第一节：情景作文（满分20分） 假设你是李明，你的英籍笔友彼德十年前到过北京。他计划2008年北京奥运会期间再来北京。在他的印象中北京的公共交通设施有些落后，出行不便。因此，他来信询问现在的状况是否有改善。 请根据表格中已有的信息给彼德写封回信说明北京目前道路交通已四通八达的情况。
