Ⅱ 阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Even plant can run a fever,
especially when they’re under attack by insects or disease. But unlike human,
plants can have their temperature taken from 3, 000 feet away straight up. A
decade ago, adopting the infrared （红外线）scanning
technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist
Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine
which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target
pesticide （杀虫剂）spraying rather than rain poison on a
whole field, which invariably includes plants that don’t have pest （害虫）problems.
Even better, Paley’s Remote
Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible
to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3, 000 feet at night, an infrared
scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a
color-coded map showing where plants were running“fevers”. Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less
pesticide than they otherwise would.
The bad news is that
Paley’s company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted
the new technology and long - term backers were hard to find. But with the
renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared
scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no
doubt the technology works. “This technique can be used
on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, ” says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson , who recently
retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop
scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only ff Paley finds the
financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.
26．Plants will emit an
increased amount of heat when they are______________.
A. sprayed
with pesticides&&&&&
an infrared scanner
C. in poor
physical condition&&&
D. exposed
to excessive sun rays
27．In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared
scanning to____________.
A. estimate
the damage to the crops
B. measure
the size of the affected area
color-coded map&&&&
the problem area
28．Farmers can save a
considerable amount of pesticide by______________.
resorting to spot-spraying&&
consulting infrared scanning experts
transforming poisoned rain&
detecting crop problems at an early stage
29．The application of infrared
scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties _______________.
A. the lack
of official support&
B. its high
C. the lack
of financial support　&&
failure to help increase production
30．Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation
because of_____________.
A. the desire of farmers to
improve the quality of their produce　
B. growing concern about
the excessive use of pesticides on crops
C. the forceful promotion
by the Department of Agriculture
D. full support from
agricultural
experts&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
In the past
ten years, America’s National Basketball Association (NBA) has grown
increasingly dependent on the rest of the world to supply players.
When Michael Jordan
and Larry Bird won gold in Barcelona in 1992, the Americans were praised for
teaching the world how to play basketball. This season, however, 20 percent of
NBA rosters（花名册） will be filled by non-Americans. NBA
commissioner David Stem happily embraces the trend. On a visit to Paris in
October, Stern outlined his vision for the future, which is likely to see
Europe hosting NBA games by 2010.
The NBA is now
planning to take China by storm.
“Our experience in
China has been that it is going to be explosive in its growth,” said Stern. The strategy（战略，策略） in China is television. “We’ve made 14
deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite.” The
success of Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for the NBA marketing
blitz in China. The NBA, which is broadcasted in more than 200 countries in 42
languages, will put that to the test in October 2004 when the Houston Rockets
play two pre-season games against the Sacramento Kings in Beijing and Shanghai.
The NBA knows that it needs a global market to compensate for tough times on home
“It doesn’t
matter where the players come from, all the NBA teams now know that they have
to scout（寻找，觅得） internationally,” said Terry Lyons, the
NBA’s vice-president of international public relations. “It has increased the
level of competition here.” As Frenchman Tony Parker and Argentine Emanuel
Ginobili showed in winning championship rings with the San Antonio Spurs last
season, many people can earn the respect of their American peers. Others, such
as the Houston Rockets’ Chinese centre Yao Ming — number one draft pick in 2002 — and the Detroit Pistons’ 18-year-old Serb Darko Milicic — number two
overall in this year’s draft — are icons（偶像）in-waiting.
It is the ultimate（最后的，根本的） revolution — the rest
of the world teaching the US how to play basketball.
31. According to the report, &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&.
A. Michael
Jordan is still playing a very important role in NBA
B. the part
played by the foreign players in NBA will be great
C. Yao Ming
is to play two pre-season games in NBA
D. European
countries will host the 2004 NBA games
32. The underlined phrase “take China
by storm” has the meaning of &&&&&_______ ___.
intends to make China its “marketing center”
planning to set up some training centers in China
C. there’ll
be a big storm when NBA comes to China to play against the Sacramento Kings
NBA’s live basket games will be broadcasted on all the TVs in China
33. What seems to be the biggest change
that is happening to NBA?
expecting more foreign players to join the league.
B. China’s
rapid development in sports affects NBA.
C. Yao Ming
has taken the place of Michael Jordan.
D. The NBA
will stop teaching the world how to play basketball.
34. When the writer talked of “home
soil”, he was referring to &&&&&&&_&&&&&&&
A. farms in
States&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Americans&
C. the NBA
center&&&&&&&&&&&&
D. the USA
35. Which of the following can be used
as the best title for the passage?
Non-American Basketball Players
Coming to China
Foreign Ties That Bind the NBA&&
Making Big Progress
In bringing up
children, every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition (学会)
of each new skill m the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the
beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child
beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of
failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A
baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be
encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads.
On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any
learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire
to find out new things for himself.
Parents vary greatly
in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially
strict in money matters. Others are severe (严格的) over time of coming home
at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls represent the needs
of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own
happiness.
As regards the
development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very
important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the
next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should
realize that &example is better than precept&. If they
are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused when they grow old enough to
think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.
A sudden awareness
of a marked difference between their parents' principles and their morals can
be a dangerous disappointment.
36. Eagerly watching the child’s
acquisition of new skills, _________________.
& A. should be avoided
& B. is universal among parents
& C. sets up dangerous states of
worry in the child
& D. will make the child lose
interest in learning new things
37. In the process of children’s
learning new skills, parents _________________.
& A. should encourage them to read
before they know the meaning of the words they read
& B. should expect a lot of the
& C. should achieve a balance
between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own
& D. should create as many
learning opportunities as possible
38. The second paragraph mainly tells
us that _________________.
& A. parents should be strict with
their children
& B. parental controls reflect
only the values of the community
& C. parental restrictions vary,
and are not always for the benefit of the children alone
& D. it’s parents’ and society’s
duty to control the children
39. The word “precept” in Paragraph 3
probably means “_________________”.
opinion&&&&&&B.
punishment&&&C.
behavior&&&&&&&&D.
instruction
40. In terms of moral matters, parents
should _____________________.
& A. follow the rules themselves
& B. be aware of the huge
difference between adults and children
& C. forbid their children to
follow hook teachings
& D. always ensure the security of
their children
In the 1960s,
medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahe developed a checklist of
stressful events. They appreciated the tricky point that any major change can
be stressful. Bad events like &serious illness of a family member&
were high on the list, but so were some helpful life-changing events like
When you take the
Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not show how you deal
with stress － it only shows how much you have to deal with. And we now
know that the way you deal with these events dramatically (戏剧性的) affects your chances of staying healthy. By the early 1970s,
hundreds of similar studies had followed Holmes and Rahe. And millions of
Americans who work and live under stress worried over the reports. Somehow the
research got boiled down to a memorable message. Women's magazines ran titles
like &Stress causes illness&.
you want to stay physically and mentally healthy the articles said avoid
stressful events. But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow. Even if
stressful events are dangerous , many — like the death of a loved one — are
impossible to avoid. Moreover, any warning to avoid all stressful events is a
prescription (处方) for staying away from chances as well as trouble.
Since any change can be stressful, a person who wanted to be completely free of
stress would never marry, have a child, take a new job or move. The idea that
all stress makes you sick also takes no notice of a lot of what we know about
people. It supposes we' re all vulnerable and not active in the face of the
difficult situation. But what about human ability and creativity? Many come
through periods of stress with more physical and mental strength than they had
before. We also know that a long time without change or challenge can lead to
boredom and physical and mental pressure.
41. The result of Holmes-Rahe’s medical
research tells us _________________.
A. the way you
deal with major events may cause stress
B. what should
be done to avoid stress
C. what kind
of event would cause stress
D. how to deal
with sudden changes in life
42. The studies on stress in the early
1970s led to ___________________.
A. popular
avoidance of stressful jobs&&&
fear over the mental disorder
careful research into stress-related illnesses
widespread worry about its harmful effects
43. The score of the Holmes-Rahe test
shows ________________.
A. how you
can deal with life-changing events&&
helpful events can change your life
stressful a major event can
D. how much
pressure you are under
44. Why is “such simplistic advice”
(Line 1, Paragraph 3) impossible to follow?
A. No one can
stay on the same job for long.&
prescription is effective in reducing stress.
have to get married
someday.&&&&&&
could be missing chances as well.
45. According to the passage people who
have experienced ups and downs may become _______.
A. nervous
when faced with
difficulties&&&&&&B.
physically and mentally tired
able to deal with
difficulties&&&&&&&&&&&
D. cold toward what happens to them
第二节 信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。
以下是一些新闻报道的信息：
[A]. Science magazine published the study about orangutans. The scientists
collected evidence from years of observations in six areas on Borneo and
Sumatra. The scientists found that the animals demonstrated a total of
twenty-four signs of cultural activity. Several actions were demonstrated in
some orangutan groups, but not others.
[B]. The Environmental Investigation Agency and Telapak released the
report. Telapak is an environmental group based in Indonesia. The Environmental
Investigation Agency operates in several countries. The two groups say
Indonesia controls ten percent of the world's tropical rainforests.
[C]. Richard Sandor is the chairman of the C-C-X. He praised the companies
forming the group for demonstrating leadership. He said they believe that an
active way to deal with global warning helps everyone. The group said its
members want to reduce costs they may face from future rules on greenhouse gas
emissions. Trading credits may help businesses find the most effective methods
to reduce pollution. Members also hope to improve their public image on
environmental issues.
[D]. Their most detailed effort involved ninety-nine kinds of birds, insects
and plants in North America and Europe. They found that the territory where
these plants and animals live has moved north by an average of six kilometers
every ten years. In Europe, some butterflies now live as much as one hundred
kilometers to the north because of changes linked to higher temperatures.
[E]. The new report says many areas experienced unusual weather in two
thousand and two. Most of Asia, for example, was warmer than usual. India had
unusually high temperatures in April and May. The extremely hot weather caused
hundreds of deaths. There also were extremely dry conditions across India. Parts
of Africa experienced unusual heavy rains. Yet other areas in Africa had
unusual dry weather.
[F]. Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe. Hydrogen is a
colorless gas. On Earth, it is present in large amounts in natural gas, coal, plants
and water. By weight, hydrogen produces the highest energy levels of any known
fuel. When burned in an engine, hydrogen releases no harmful pollution into the
environment. When powering a fuel cell, the only waste is water. However, hydrogen
is difficult to store. It also burns easily.
请阅读以下与新闻信息，然后匹配与上面新闻相关的报道内容：
46. A severe ocean storm hit South Korea in August. It set a new national
record for rainfall. In central Europe, more than one hundred people died in
flooding caused by heavy rainfall in September. The flooding also resulted in
thousands of millions of dollars in property damage. Yet large parts of North
and South America had extremely dry weather.
47. One member of the Chicago Climate Exchange is American Electric Power. It's
the biggest owner of electric power producers in the United States. Company
officials say they hope their company's membership will demonstrate the ability
of the C-C-X to grow.
48. For example, members of some groups make a kissing noise by tightening
their mouths and sucking in air. Some groups use leaves to clean themselves or
protect their hands from sharp objects. The scientists found that some of the
animals use sticks as tools to remove insects from holes in trees. Other
orangutans use leaves to crush insects or gather water.
49. Professors Parmesan and Yohe used similar methods to examine one
hundred and seventy-two kinds of wildlife. They examined the timing of events
in the spring, such as the appearance of flowers and the reproduction of
animals. They found that these events happened an average of two days earlier
than normal every ten years.
50. They say illegal operations to remove trees are causing large areas of
forest to disappear. Environmental Investigation Agency director Dave Currey
says the illegal operations are completely out of control.

When I was a little
girl ,my mother always told me what I should do and not .What I can remember is
that when I was in the primary school, I didn’t want to go to school because I
hated the math teacher who used to punish me for I didn’t finish my homework on
time. Instead of forcing me to go to school, my mother just told me if I didn’t
go to school my friends and my teachers would not like me anymore. What’s more,
she told me I should not hate the math teacher on account of my fault and never
hate anybody if I wanted to be likable. Since that time, I have known that
being likable is very important.
While I was growing
up, I read a lot of books in order to be a likable person. There is a famous
writer, Dale Carnegie. He wrote a book called How to Win Friends and Influence
People, which taught me a lot .Being a likable person we should respect others
and become genuinely interested in other people. In my opinion, the most significant
one is that we should be honest and sincere. The second way is that we should
be glad to give them a hand when it is needed. Finally, I suppose that being a
good listener is quite important as well. We should participate in their
suffering and encourage them in time.
In a word, only if we stand by the
people even when they are in the darkest time and never desert them can we be a
likable in the social life.

Ⅱ 阅读(共两节，满分50分)
【答案与解析】 &26—30 CDACB&
本篇是一篇说明文，主要介绍了将原用于军事和卫星的红外线扫描技术运用于农业的前景，人们为此所做出的努力及遇到的困难。
26．C。细节理解题。依据文章第二自然段第2行“．．．an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops．The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where
plants were running‘fevers’”，说明植物在发“高烧”，也就是说，“身体状况”不佳时才会散发热，所以选项C符合题意。
27．D。推理判断题。本题要求判断使用红外线扫描技术的目的。依据文章第二自然段第4行“．．．showing where plants were running ‘fevers’．Farmers could then spot spray，．．．”说明目的是确定有问题的区域，以使农民有针对性地喷杀虫剂。显然，选项D（确定有问题的地域）为最佳选项。
28．A。细节理解题。依据文章第二自然段最后一句“Farmers could then
spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would”（采取点喷，农民们可以节省平时用量的50％至70％的杀虫剂），选项A符合题意。
29．C。推理判断题。依据文章第三自然段的第1句“The bad news is that Palely’s company closed
down in 1984，　after only three years．Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard
to find”，从中可以看出红外线扫描技术应用于农业遇到了一些问题，原因有两个：一是农民对新技术的抵制，二是难以找到长期赞助商。文章中还有一处明显的提示出现在最后一句：“But only if Palely finds the financial backing which he failed to
obtain 10 years ago”．从该句提供的信息同样可以反推出10年前的情形，所以选项C正确。
30．B。细节理解题。依据文章第三自然段第2行“But with the renewed concern about pesticide on produce, and
refinements in infrared scanning，Palely hopes to get
back into operation”，可知B项（出于对杀虫剂过度使用的担心）符合题意。
【答案与解析】& 31—35 BAADC
NBA的球员组成将发生重大改变，外国球员将占相当的比例，NBA需借助外籍球员的力量来维持其地位。
31. B& 推理判断题。根据第二段20 percent of NBA rosters will be
filled by non-Americans，以及文章后半部分Terry说的话it has increased the level of
competition here可判断出外国球员将在NBA起到举足轻重的作用。
32. A& 词义猜测题。根据文章中间Stern所说的话，及下一自然段The success of Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for the NBA marketing blitz in China可判断出NBA将把中国看作是一个重要的市场。
33. A& 推理判断题。通读全文，可得出这个结论：NBA的球员组成将发生重大改变，外国球员将占相当的比例。
34. D& 词义猜测题。从文章后半部The NBA knows that it needs a
global market及It doesn’t matter where the players come from可判断出home soil指的是美国本土。
35. C& 主旨大意题。tie在这儿被用来比喻外籍球员，意思是说NBA需借助外籍球员的力量来维持其地位。
【答案与解析】& 36—40& BCCCD
在孩子成长过程中，父母不能拔苗助长。父母对孩子的“严”与“松”之间应有一个恰当的度。关于道德教育问题，父母应该以身作则，带头遵循,“榜样比说教更有力”。
36．B& 推理判断题。根据文章第一自然段开头In bringing up
children，every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition of each new skill，既然是每位父母都会这样做，那么这种做法在父母中就是普遍的，故选B。根据文章第一自然段第二句，选项C。sets
up dangerous states of worry in the child是由hurry the child beyond his natural learning
rate引起的，“迫不及待地要求孩子做超出其自然成长速度的事情”和“热切地观察孩子学会每一项新技能”显然不是一回事，作者对后者没有否定之意，所以A不对。根据文章第一自然段末句，选项取D。will make him lose interest in learning new things是由a child is left
alone too much, or without any learning opportunities引起的。故D也不合文意。
37．C& 推理判断题。文章第一自然段第二句It is often tempting
to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate，but this can set Up dangerous feelings of
failure and states of worry in the child，说明在孩子成长过程中，父母不能拔苗助长。文章第一段末句又说：On the other hand，though，if a child is left alone too much，or without any learning opportunities，he
loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself，说明对孩子太放任自流同样不利。根据这两方面，应选C，父母对孩子的“严”与“松”之间应有一个恰当的度。
38．C& 主旨大意题。文章第二自然段的大意是:“父母对孩子的严格程度有很大的不同”。
39．D& 词义推测题．四个选项的意思分别是：A. opinion (观点)；B. punishment(惩罚)；C.
bebaviour(行为)；D．instruction(说教，源于instruct)。根据文章第三段第三，四句Also，parents should realize that “example is better than precept”．If they are not sincere and do not practice
what they preach(说教)…可以推测，precept应表达与example对立的意思，且与preach是同义词，引语的意思是“榜样比说教更有力”，故选项D为最佳选项。
40．A& 推理判断题．根据文章第三自然段第四句，再根据文章最后一段，可以得出结论，关于道德教育问题，父母应该以身作则，带头遵循，(参见上一小题之解析)，故选A。
【答案与解析】& 46—50 ADDBC
本文主要论述压力的产生及人人都不应该逃避压力。文中用了很多高级词汇，且有许多复杂难句，阅读时请注意认真分析。
41．A。主旨大意题。难度较大。根据文章前面的叙述，其意为“分数无法向你表明你怎样对待压力，只表明你承受多大程度的压力”。做题时，可以紧接着看后面一句，即你处理这些事件的方式会很戏剧性地影响你保持健康的机会。
42．D。细节理解题。文章中有“millions of Americans who work and live under stress worried over
the reports”，表明这一阶段的研究给人带来更多的是担扰，并且从一些杂志用的标题上都可以显示出来。
43．D。推理判断题。根据文章第二自然段中“it only shows how much you have to deal”只是表明你承受多大程度的压力”可知。
44．B。推理判断题。根据上句所述”文章告诉我们应避免压力事件”，其实这是不可行的。从文章一开始就可以得知，无论是“悲伤还是喜悦”的事，都会带来压力，所以这种a小vice是不可行的，言外之意是没有哪个处方在减轻压力方面是奏效的。
45．C。推理判断题。经历过ups and downs的人，能够更加有能力处理困难。

The author relates
to us how he realized the importance of being likable through his experience.
Besides, Carnegie’s book confirms him of the essence of being likable: modesty,
sincerity, honesty and helpfulness. (32 words)
I remember clearly
how I change my attitude towards the most popular girl, Cathy. At first, I was
jealous of her because of her popularity. But one incident made me admire
her.& As a guy pursuing uniqueness, I always wore a strange hat to school,
which aroused the others’ dislike. But she wrote a diary posted on our wallpaper
to support my eccentricity. In it, she expressed her understanding and asked
our classmates to focus more on my genuineness than my strange appearance.
Since then, I regard her as my confidant.
It is evident that
to be a likable person, one needs to show interest and understanding towards
others. First, be concerned with what others are passionate about. Then another
significant quality for a popular person is to remember what’s important to
people. In addition, to gain likability, one should not grudge complimentary
words to friends. (146 words)
