分析07年江西高考英语试题
探究08年英语复习备考策略
吉水二中 焦富强
一.07年江西高考英语试题整卷印象
2007年是我省第三年自主命题,英语科试题有以下特点:
1、试题结构稳中求变,在传承05和06 两年成功经验的基础上,各大题型及其分值基本保持不变,但用对话填空题代替了短文改错题,加强了对语篇语境分析能力、口语交际和语法词汇知识的考查力度,更能突出对学生综合语言能力的考查。
2、重视英语基础知识,重视英语运用能力,突出语篇,强调应用,注重交际;选材贴近生活,兼顾了和谐社会的时代主题,富有教育意义。如单选题基本上覆盖了考生应该掌握的英语基础知识;而完型填空的主题材料,阅读理解的 A、B两篇,对话填空,书面表达等这些材料都让考生感到熟悉、亲切。
3、信度、效度、区分度高,难度适当。
①今年整卷的总词汇量3217个,单词共出现1088个(听力录音和书面表达除外)。其中初中600多个、高中400多个。
②07年英语试题的信度、效度和区分度控制得比较好,能真实地考查考生的实际运用能力,有效地拉开考生的成绩档次,有利于高校选拔人才。
③05和06年江西高考自主命题的难度控制得很好,接近高考试题的理想难度系数0.55,但是07年略嫌容易,难度系数为0.63,比去年稍稍容易些。

二、07年江西高考英语试题各大题型分析及08年复习策略
(一)听力
1.07年听力试题分析
江西今年继续采用了全国卷I的听力,特点:语音清晰,语速较慢,有利于考生作出正确选择。
①07年高考听力题话题分布统计表
TEXT 1 喝茶;TEXT 2 接人;TEXT 3 开会;TEXT 4 购物 ;TEXT 5 旅游 TEXT 6 演唱会;TEXT 7 生日(礼物);TEXT 8 找工作;TEXT 9 上班 TEXT 10 课堂

14、18
由上表看出,听力考查题量最多的题型是What….,其次是因果关系Why…,因此这两种题型在我们平时的训练中必须重视;同时我们也可以看出, which 和when 这两种高考常考的题型在全国I 卷没有出现,而在全国其他5套听力 (北京卷、重庆卷、广东卷、湖北卷、湖南卷)中which考查了7次,when考查了5次(05、06两年全国卷也考查了),因此我们可以大胆预测:08年全国I卷 听力还是会考查when,和which 这两种题型。
③听力主播为Qris Chung 和 Anna Beth Keim,美式发音;07年语速为每分钟146字(近几年语速比较慢,并逐年降低:05年165字/分,06年156字/分, 07年146字/分)
2.2008年听力命题趋势预测:
题型基本不变,总词数可能增加到800以上,语速可能提高到每分钟155词,材料仍为日常生活中常见的话题,重点仍以细节题为主。
3. 08年听力备考策略
A.选用Qris Chung 和 Anna Beth Keim这两人灌制的磁带,若无则应尽量选用美式发音的磁带。B.材料话题多选学习、工作和生活这些常考的话题C.长期训练策略 内容安排:先按话题和考点归类训练,再进行综合模拟训练。时间安排:每周至少三次,高考前半个月可以隔天一次。D.考前临场应试技巧指导策略:调整心态,抢时预读;大胆预测,手脑并用;整体理解,巧抓关键;捕捉细节,领会语气;果断作答,学会放弃。
(二)单项选择、
1.07年单项选择试题分析
07年单选题的特征①考查内容方面:动词占有较大比重,语法知识涉及面比往年更广 15个小题共考查了14个语法大项目(均属于语言知识中的基本项目)的知识点.
具体题型题量分布如下表:
②注重综合性和语境化的特征,题目设计贴近考生生活。有的题目设计上比较完美,需要考生认真思考,仔细分析,才能选出正确选项,如:
21.--Will you join us in the game?
--Thank you, .
A. but why not? B. but I’d rather not C. and I won’t D. and I’ll join
31.--I have got a headache.
–No wonder. You in front of the computer too long.
A. work B. are working C. have been working D. worked
34.I don’t mind her criticizing me, but is how she does it that I object to.
A. it B. that C. this D. which
35.--Ouch! You hurt me! --I’m sorry, but I any harm. I to drive a rat out.
A. didn’t mean; tried B. don’t mean; am trying
C. haven’t meant; tried D. didn’t mean; was trying
2.08年单项选择备考策略
既要注重学生英语交际能力的培养,也要让学生注重掌握必要的英语语法知识;强化语篇意识,强调语境分析的方法。
请看下面两个小题:
24.When asked why he went there, he said he was sent there for a space flight.
A. training B. being trained C. to have trained D. to be trained
32.After graduation she reached a point in her career she needed to decide what to do.
A. that B. what C. which D. where.
虽然现在的教学有淡化语法的趋势,但最基本的语法知识是必考的,非强调不可。在讲解分析单选题时还应该灌输一定的句子成份知识。试想如果学生连最起码的遣辞造句规则都不懂、连句子成份都分析不了又如何正确理解句子结构和意义呢?
单选题的解题方法:直接法、排除法、逻辑推理法、删除法、还原法、语境观察法;
着重训练:学生用还原法、类推法等
解题的技巧。解题步骤:
第一步 理解语境 推敲语义
第二步 化繁为简 锁定考点
第三步 寻找题眼 排除干扰 确定答案
单选题的训练:精选、精炼、精讲
(三)完型填空
1.07年完型填空试题分析
①总体特点:07年完型填空是一篇叙事短文,讲的是一个名叫Bannister的运动员怎么通过努力打破了4分钟内跑完一英里路程的世界纪录,主要描述了他赛跑的整个过程;内容健康向上,富有教育意义 。
②全文(包括空格词)261词,平均每13词设一空(空距4—28词)。全文难度适中,题目设计着重强调语篇分析和理解的连贯性,知识点的分布比较合理。题目设计完全符合“以实词为主,虚词为辅,突出词汇语境化”的命题原则和要求,既考查了学生的阅读理解能力,又考查了学生对词汇和短语意义的辨析及运用能力以及词组的搭配和习惯用法。
题型题量的分布如下表:

2. 08年完型填空复习备考策略:
①训练量:一轮复习开始至少每日一篇。
②选材:08年江西卷将继续考夹叙夹议型或叙事型短文,所以主要应该选话题为呼唤真情、亲情,讴歌真善美、启迪人生、轻松、幽默、温暖类夹叙夹议型或叙事型短文。说明文和纯议论文则不要选。
③学法指导:培养“总→→分→→总”意识,即解题步骤:先通读再作题,绝不可提笔就选,做题时要立足语篇,注重语境分析:最后检查核对,不仅单句合理,而且通篇合理。
有人将解题技巧作了很好的总结如下:
细读首句,品味尾句;浏览全文,捕捉信息;先易后难,逐步完形;前后照应,左右逢源;
复读全文,慎重调整。
四)阅读理解
1.07年阅读理解试题分析
①07年阅读理解仍然选取了5篇短文,总词数1416词,其中最短的是B篇203字,最长的是E篇323字,每篇文章均设4个小题,题目总词数564词。
②五篇文章的体裁与题材多样,选自最新的英美报刊杂志,均出自英美人士之手的原汁原味的材料,有的非常贴近考生的实际生活如A、B、D、三篇。
这五篇文章体裁涵盖了小故事、广告、夹叙文、科普文和说明文。话题分别是:
A篇 调皮学生戏弄他人自取其辱;B篇 四则广告;C篇 美国高中生学习评价系统(SAT)对学生的影响;D篇 科学家对过渡强迫性失调症的研究和治疗方式;E篇 哲学对自然科学和社会科学的影响以及对人的能力发展与前途的影响。

而深层理解题也有10个小题,分别是第58、59、60、64、65、67、69、71、73和75 小题
意图态度题没有出现
本卷阅读理解题难度一般,中档题较多,设题重点在检测考生实际运用语言的能力和获取信息以及解决问题的能力上。总体上看,考生答题分布情况比较理想,有较好的区分度。误选率较高的两道题为第67和71题:
67.(C篇)This passage is mainly about t .
A. how to prepare for the SAT B. stress caused by the SAT
C. American higher education D. the SAT and its effect
71. By saying “The only way to cure is to conquer.”, Dr. Mootee suggests that an OCD sufferer .
A. has to be an extraordinary person B. must cure his illness by himself
C. must overcome many physical illness D. should have a right attitude towards the problem
2.08年阅读理解复习备考策略:
①加大课外阅读的力度,保证语言材料的输入量:《普通高中英语课程标准》在八级目标有关阅读技能的规定中指出:除教材外,课外阅读量应累计达到36万词以上。教师在选择泛读材料时,一定要保证其合理的难度、语言的地道和内容的趣味性;应着眼于获取信息、拓宽视野、获得乐趣;既能在不同的语言材料中复习旧知识、学习新知识,又能在不知不觉中提高阅读能力。训练量安排策略:平时要有经常性的阅读理解训练,长期坚持。建议每天一篇阅读理解训练。
②抓好定期限时训练,如每周作一套阅读理解题,限时35分钟。
建议每周抽出一节课进行。选材应该囊括各种体裁。每套题应注意阅读技能检测点分布必须合理。话题应兼顾各种题材,且多选贴近考生的实际生活的,要关注时新热门的社会关注焦点话题如Global Warming, Environmentally Friendly Products,Harmonious Society等。
③特别注意培养学生以下良好的阅读习惯:
A:集中精力一气呵成 B:心读不可吟读 C:快读克服回读
D:按意群读即按思维单位读(可训练学生将一段一段的话划分为各个意群,按照意群进行心读训练)
④扩大词汇量:不仅狠抓课内生词复习,学生还应该有一本课外生词积累本,把平时遇到的重要的、有趣的生词积累起来。
⑤临场应试策略指导不可少:
策略1:从易到难
考生在做阅读理解试题时,不必拘泥于试卷所呈现的语篇顺序。
1、学生可先阅读广告、新闻报道等方面的应用文类的文章;
2、之后,再去做人物,故事等方面的记叙文类的文章;
3、最后,再做涉及到科普、社会、文化、经济等方面的说明文类的文章。
策略2:各个击破,做事实细节题
学生首先阅读短文后面的问题,然后利用略读法快速确定文中的出处,并对其进行转换、加工,确定答案,做此类题一定要细心、耐心;做主旨要义题更要迅速地找到各段的主题句,然后进行归纳、总结和概括;做推理判断题,要紧扣文中所陈述的细节、事实等进行推理判断,从而得出符合逻辑的结论;做意图态度题要从文中找出能表露作者思想倾向和感情色彩的词语去捉摸推断作者的意图与态度;做推测词义句意题主要是要根据文中上下文的意思来推测;做文章结构题要求学生把握文章的时间顺序、空间顺序,论述的层次关系,紧抓文脉主线。
策略3:巧过生词关
2007年高考是遵循《新课程标准》规定的3500个单词命题,其词汇量较以前大大增加。而对于2008年,我们完全有理由预测词汇量依然很大。再则《教学大纲》和《考试说明》明确要求考生能读懂生词率不超过3%的阅读材料,但多数是一些合成、转化(派生词,只有不到10个真正的生词,所以考生要巧过生词关:一是根据构词法弄清词义(如competitive 、 systematically、knowledgeable、preschool 、co-operative 、self-respect 、 over-eating 、 overtake、childcare 等都可根据转化、派生、合成等构词法知识猜测词义);二是根据上下文中的同义词、反义词猜测词义;三是利用上下文中的定语、同位语等猜测词义;四是利用作者的解释、注释等猜测词义。
(五)对话填空
1.07年对话填空试题分析
①对话填空在07年是新题型,是过去补全对话与单词拼写的结合。体现了江西试题在前两年成功自主命题的基础上的创新。对话填空也占十分,但比短文改错得分率稍高些;总体而言,达到了本节设计的考查目标。
②这篇对话内容是一位旅客去旅行社咨询订机票和客房的有关事宜,共154词,加上10个所填单词,共164词。其设问方式与完型填空几乎完全相同,所以也采用了“以实词为主,虚词为辅,突出词汇语境化”的命题原则和要求。美中不足的是动词比例太小,10个小题中动词只有1个(第82题),名词略嫌多,多达6个(第76、77、80、81、84、85题)。其余分别是副词1个(第78题),介词1个(第79题),形容词1个(第83题)。
难度较大的几个小题分别是:第77题(adults)、第82题(leaves)、第83题(available)和第84题(copy).主要原因是题型新,学生专项强化训练不够,个别生词available不熟练。
2.08年对话填空复习备考策略
①培养学生语篇意识,强调语境分析方法。因为对话填空也体现了“坚持语言必须放在实际的并且尽可能不同的情景中运用”的命题思想和“以实词为主,虚词为辅,突出词汇语境化”的命题原则和要求。
②培养学生语言交际能力,使其熟悉口语特点。 对话填空是口语体裁,往往是围绕一个话题展开的,其中体现语言功能词汇、习惯表达和有关句型都是为得体的交际目的而使用的。
③培养学生的发散性思维:学会寻找信息,把握线索。
④狠抓词汇教学,
考生要熟悉大纲词汇,并能根据首字母提示写出符合对话意义的单词正确形式。考生还要熟练语法基础知识,如名词的单复数、动词的时态语态、非谓语动词、形容词、副词等,并注意所填词的正确形式。
⑤对话填空是新题型,教师一定要教会学生正确的解题步骤和规律:
A、 吟读全文,掌握大意;抓住脉络,理清作者思路
B、 初填答案 顺着命题人的命题思路初填答案并注意所填词在句中作什么句子成份,该用什么正确形式。
C、 寻找线索,突破难题 对话填空必须从整篇入手,通篇考虑;尤其当暂时无法给出某一空的答案时,一定要仔细在上下文中寻找相关线索,而有时这种线索往往隐藏在距离设空较远的地方,从某种意义上说,“寻找线索”不仅可以考查考生的语言知识,而且更强调学生对文章内容的整体把握能力
寻找线索,突破难题 前制性线索:从上文中找;后制性线索:从下文中找;语篇性线索:从上下文中找;文化背景线索:从对话展开的背景中找;口语线索:对话的口语特征强、必须充分考虑口语因素;习语和固定搭配线索:尤其要考虑动词习语、动词与名词、介词、副词等的搭配。语法线索:考生不仅要理解上下文的逻辑关系,更要有针对性地对语法结构、句式特点,对话中所设空格中需填的词在句子里作什么成份,那类此合适,应采取什么形式等进行必要的分析思考,从而迅速解决问题。
试看07年对话填空题几个小题:
⑴………I want to b 76 a room and some tickets for………
根据语篇性线索和文化背景线索,旅客去旅行社咨询的是订机票和客房的有关事宜,可知填 book。
⑵………T: And how many people will be going? P: Four. Two a 77 and two children. 根据语篇性线索,要去的人与小孩children相对的当然是大人adults无疑了。
⑶………In that c 81 , for the flight they will be charged at children’s rates and……… 根据口语线索和语篇性线索,此处应为“既然如此、在那种情况下”in that case.
对话填空新题型是去年3月份才正式宣布为今年高考的新题型的,相对较新,考生只有半年多的接触时间,所以还是需要大量训练的,教师应给学生安排适量的经常性练习。话题选材应侧重贴近生活、语言符合真实交际、语言易于理解把握的对话篇目.
(六)书面表达
1.07年书面表达试题分析
07年的书面表达与去年一样也是一篇半开放性作文,题目是要求学生就主题为“What Can We Do For Our School”的英语演讲比赛写一篇演讲稿.要求从所给4个方面中任选1至2个进行阐述,并举例加以说明;词数要求100左右。这篇书面表达突出了当前“构建和谐社会、构建和谐校园”这一时代主题,是整套试题的一大靓点。
由于内容贴近考生的实际生活,学生感到有话可写、有话能写,但由于以下原因,得分却并不理想:
1)中文思维中文句式较多 2)用词搭配不当
3.)缺乏高级词汇 4)基本句型差、更缺乏复杂句式
5)时态语态等基本语法掌握不到位 6)不善于使用连接词使文章紧凑
7)平时的开放性作文写作训练不足 8)书写基本功差
2.08年书面表达复习备考策略
①训练学生的书写,让学生的字迹工整起来,卷面整洁起来。
②建议在狠抓词汇学习的基础上,专题讲解“书面表达中常见错误的纠正” 和“如何运用高级词汇和亮点句式”。
③要求学生经常背范文,二轮复习期间可把上一年各省市高考书面表达文全部背出,再加选一些能突出时代主题、思想健康向上、具有教育意义的范文。熟背范文五十篇,不会作文也会编。
④教会学生作文的开头、结尾和中间部分的写作技巧:“凤头、猪肚、豹尾”
“凤头”
文章的开头至关重要。若开头引人入胜,则能获取良好的第一印象,争得高分。高考作文篇幅短小(通常只有100个单词左右),因此开头不能冗长拖沓,务必要点题,即说清楚文章的人物事件、作者的观点或所谈话题。
“猪肚”
中间部分是文章的主体,需要用具体的事例、细节来阐释主题句。因此中间部分应该是具体的、详细的,不可泛泛而谈或点到为止;它需要围绕着主题句的内容而展开,而不能谈论一些与之无关的东西。
“豹尾”
文章的结尾同样很重要,好的结尾可以加深读者的印象,深化主题。如果结尾缺乏力量,出现虎头蛇尾的情况,便会使读者感到意犹未尽。
⑤建议把书面表达专题训练分小专题、分步骤始终贯穿于总复习过程而不仅仅是安排在第二个学期的二轮复习中。总复习开始后可以每隔一段时间训练一个小专题,建议至少要设置以下小专题:如何写看图作文、如何写图表型作文、如何写议论文(议论文的4种常见模块)、如何写(半)开放性作文、书面表达中常见错误的纠正、如何运用高级词汇和亮点句式等(各专题内容可互有交叉) 。
总策略:
1、夯实学生的基础知识,狠抓词汇和语法知识的灵活运用
2、强化语篇意识,培养语境分析的能力。
3、各种题型专项训练
4、利用集体的无穷力量,充分发挥备课组的集体优势,共享资源、共享信息、互相帮助、取长补短,共同提高。

为保持稳定,利于考生复习备考,2008年考试大纲仅在2007年大纲的基础上进行了个别概念和文字的调整。
Ⅱ.关于考试要求的说明
一、语言知识
为命题的需要,本说明中的词汇表在遵循《全日制高级中学英语教学大纲(试验修订版)》的词表的基础上,增加了若干单词,以*号标明,仅要求考生知道其汉语意思。
二、语言运用
1.听力
听力是与外国人直接交往中必不可少的一种语言能力。该部分要求考生听懂有关日常生活中所熟悉话题的简短独白和对话。考生应能:
(1)理解主旨和要义
任何一段话或独白总会围绕一个主旨或一个中心思想展开。有时,主旨要义会比较明确,有时则会贯穿整个对话或独白,需要考生自己去归纳、概括。
(2)获取事实性的具体信息
为了说明和支持主旨,对话或独白中总会出现一些具体信息,如时间、地点、人物等。这些信息是理解和把握对话或独白的主旨必不可少的内容,也常常是听力部分的重点考察项目。
(3)对所听内容作出简单推断
话语发生的场合、说说话者之间的关系等对话含义的理解起着举足轻重的作用,对这些背景的推断能力在一定程度上可以体现一个人对口语的理解能力,因而也是听力测试所要考查的重点项目之一。
(4)理解说话者的意图、观点和态度
一般来讲.说话者总会表明说话的意图.或是提出或回答问题,或是阐述自己的想法,或是表明自己的态度或意见,对此的理解或推断在一般交往中非常重要。有时,说话者的意图或观点是明确表达出来的,有时则隐含在对话的字里行间,需要听者自己去揣摩、推断。
2. 阅读理解
阅读文章是我国考生接触外语的最主要途径,因此,阅读理解在试卷中占权重较大。该部分要求考生读懂公告、说明、广告以及书、报、杂志中关于一般性话题的简短文章。考生应能:
(1)理解主旨和要义
任何一篇文章都会有一个主旨蔓义。有时从文章的第一个段落,甚至第一个句子即可得出文章的主旨要义,从这一段或这个句子读者会知道文章描述的是谁或什么(即文章的主题),也会了解作者希望读者了解主题哪些方面的内容。有时,文章的主旨要义则需从文章的字里行间进行推断。这类试题主要考查考生略读文章、领会大意的能力,它对考生的归纳、概括能力有一定的要求。
(2)理解文中具体信息
文章主题和中心思想的阐述往往需要大量细节信息的支持,这些细节对于理解全文内容至关重要,同时也是归纳和概括文章中心思想的基础。命题人员往往会要求考生根据不同的要求阅读文章,以获得某些特定的信息,或准确地寻求所需的细节。这类试题有时比较直接,理解字面意思即可答题;有时则较为间接,需要归纳、慨括和推理才能答题。
(3)根据上下文推断生词的词义
正确理解文章中单词或短语的含义是理解文章的第一步,也是理解文章的基础。不懂单词含义根本就谈不上理解文章。但英语单词的含义并非完全等同于词典中所标注的汉语意思,其含义随不同的语境会有所不同。能根据上下文正确理解灵活变化的词义,才算是真正初步具备了一定的阅读理解能力。此外.阅读文章时,常常会遇到一些过去未见过的词,但许多这类生词的词义可以通过上下文推断出来。这使不使用词典而通过阅读上下文来推断生词含义的能力,是一个合格的读者所必须具备的能力,因此也是阅读测试中经常检测的一种能力。
(4)作出简单判断和推理
阅读文章的主要目的是获取信息,即理解作者所要传达的信息。在实际的阅读活动中,有时需要根据文章提供的事实和线索,进行逻辑推理,推测作者未提到的事实或某事发生的可能性等。
(5)理解文章的基本结构
英语文章讲究使用主题段和主题句。主题段通常在文章开头,简要概括文章的主题。主题句可能在一段的开头,也可能在中间或末尾,作用是交代该段的中心思想,再由全段展开或讨论这个主题。各个段落通常由某些起连接作用的词语连接,以使文章行文连贯。如果希望准确、深刻地理解一篇文章,必须对文章的结构有所了解,把握住全篇的文脉,即句与句、段与段之间的逻辑关系。对这种能力的考查,一般反映在理解文中某一段落的作用或某些词语的的指代关系的题目中。
(6)理解作者的意图、观点和态度
每篇文章都有一个特定的写作目的,或是向读者传递某个信息,或是愉悦读者,或是讲授某个道理。而这些信息通常并不是明确地表达出来,而是隐含在文章之中。因此,这类问题要求考生在理解文章总体内容的基础上,去领会作者的言外之意。
3.写作
写作是四项语言技能中不可分割的一个重要部分,更是语言生成能力的重要表现形式。该部分要求考生根据题示进行书面表达。考生应能:
(1)准确使用语法和词汇
语言的准确性是写作中不可忽视的一个重要方面。因为它直接或间接地影响到信息的准确传输。应用语法结构和词汇的准确程度是写作部分评分标准中的一项重要内容。
(2)使用一定的句型和词汇,清楚、连贯地表达自己的意思。
任何一篇文章都需要有一个主题,作者应该围绕该主题,借助一些句型、词组等的支持,清楚、连贯地表达自己的思想。

He has lived through various dangers but time may be running out for the Palestinian leader , Yasser Arafat .
On September 11, Israel announced its decision to remove him , following several Palestinian suicide bomb attacks on Israel . “He should be punished for the killings ,” an Israeli official said , “He has done nothing to stop the terrorist groups .”
But the decision has angered many other countries . China said that Arafat is the true leader , elected by the Palestinian people , and removing him would harm the peace in the Middle East . This idea is shared by other governments .
Arafat himself said : “They can kill me , but never get me out of my country .” He has spent most of his life in danger as the most important aim of Israel .But , just like a cat with nine lives , Arafat escaped every time .
For years he has made a practice of sleeping in a different bed each night , thinking a moving person is harder to hit . In 1985 , Israel sent fighter planes to kill Arafat . The wild bombing destroyed his office in Tunis but Arafat himself was unhurt . In 1992 , the aircraft in which he was flying over north Africa broke in two during a crash landing . The pilot was killed but he managed to remain alive .
What is so unbelievable is that he always remains calm in great danger .
Israeli tanks and planes attacked his office building in Ramallah in December , 2001 . When they saw the attackers coming , Arafat’s bodyguards ignored his orders to stay still and carried him to safety underground . Seconds later , several bombs were dropped nearby . Though safe , his bodyguards were so frightened that they were wet in sweat .
But , Arafat , with Israeli tanks only 200 meters away , showed no fear at all . He stayed in the damaged office , talking by phone with foreign leaders in hope of preventing further attacks from Israel . All these experiences have made him a beloved leader to his people and an enemy to some others .But has he used up the last of his nine lives ? Only time will tell .
36. Which of the following statements cannot be used to describe Arafat ?
A. He went to visit a few foreign countries last year. B. He is not afraid of death in face of his enemy.
C. His office used to be in Tunis. D. He remained alive during an air crash in 1992.
37.According to the passage, which statement is true?
A. In 1992, Arafat’s plane crashed in south Africa. B. Israeli officers thought Arafat himself sent the terrorist groups to Israel.
C. China is the only country against Israel’s decision of removing Arafat.
D. Being Palestinian leader, Arafat would rather die in his own country than be driven away from his people.
38.What did the author mean by saying “just like a cat has nine lives” when he talked about Arafat?
A. Arafat is as clever as a cat. B. Arafat can live as long as a cat.
C. Arafat can stay alive after accidents or disasters as if he has nine lives. D. Arafat should have died for at least 8 times.
39.The underlined word “ignore” can be replaced by __________.
A. obey the instructions B. take no notice of C. pay much attention to D. give out orders
40.What’s the writer’s attitude towards Arafat’s future, judging from the last sentence of the passage?
A. Hopeful. B.Interesting. C. Satisfactory. D. Doubtful.

When Mt Vesuvius erupted (爆发)in 79 A.D, it destroyed the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

From the end of the eighteenth century to the present day, digging had gone practically continuously, 25 slowly, and often with few resources.

Dear Editor:
While a new school term is about to begin, perhaps we should reconsider the matter of examinations. In July, tow writers(letters to the editor) praised the cancellation(取消)of exams because they believe “Tests don’t tell the whole story”.
As a teacher who has worked in four countries, I have had the experience that a student who earns good marks is generally a good student, and a student’s final mark in a subject is usually a grade average of the year’s work. Of course there are expectations, but they do not have the frequency that would give an unfair picture of a student’s ability.
The simple fact is that proper class work; diligent exam studies and good marks are almost certain indicators (指示) of a student’s future performance. The opposite is, almost certainly, incompetence.
There is no acceptable substitute for competition of quality. How can teachers and future officials determine what a student has learned and remembered? Should we simply take the student’s mark for it? Any institution that “liberates” students from fair and formal exams is misguided, if not ignorant (无知的) and surely the “graduates ” of such institutions will lack trustworthiness(信赖), not to mention being rejected by foreign universities for graduate or other studies.
When all is said and done, I sense that a fear of failure and a fear of unpleasant comparison() with others are at the bottom of most ban-exam talks. Excellence and quality fear nothing. On the contrary, they seek competition and desire the satisfaction of being the best.
36. According to the letter, a student’s final mark ____________ .
A. is often encouraging B. often tells whether he likes the object or not
C. often prove unreliable D. often gives a fair picture of the year’s work
37. The two writers mentioned in the first paragraph____________ .
A.seemed to be worried about the poor marks of their students B.must have proposed other ways of testing students
C.opposed judging students by the results of exams D.regarded exams as a way of punishing students
38. Which of the following will be the author of this passage probably agree with?
A.Tests are an effective measure of the students’ abilities. B.Tests are not effective in measuring the students’ abilities.
C.Tests can only measure some of the students’ abilities. D.Tests may not be useful for measuring students’ abilities
39. If a student graduated from a university which does not require exams, he would________ .
A.have to continue his studies B.not be admitted by foreign institutions C.be incompetent D.have a feeling of failure
40. According to the writer of the letter, those who oppose exams __________ .
A. are incompetent teachers B. fear failure C. have no confident in competition D. both B and C

It’s no secret that many children would be healthier and happier with adoptive (收养) parents than with the parents that nature dealt them. That’s especially true of children who remain in abusive homes because the law blindly favors biological parents. It's also true of children who suffer for years in foster (收养) homes because of parents who can't or won't care for them but refuse to give up custody (监护) rights.
Fourteen-year-old Kimberly Mays fits neither description, but her recent court victory could eventually help children who do. Kimberly has been the object of an angry custody battle between the man who raised her and her biological parents, with whom she has never lived. A Florida judge ruled that the teenager can remain with the only father she's ever known and that her biological parents have “no legal right” on her.
The ruling, though it may yet be reversed (颠倒) , sets aside the principle that biology is the primary determinant of parentage. That's an important development, though not so much in time.
Shortly after birth in December 1978, Kimberly Mays and another infant were mistakenly switched and sent home with the wrong parents. Kimberly’s biological parents, Ernest and Regina Twigg, received a child who died of a heart disease in 1988. Medical tests showed that the child wasn’t the Twiggs’ own daughter, but Kim only was, thus causing a custody battle with Robert Mays. In 1989, the two families agreed that Mr. Mays would continue to have custody with the Twiggs getting visiting rights. Those rights were ended when Mr. Mays decided that Kimberly was being harmed.
The decision to leave Kimberly with Mr. Mays caused people to debate her suit. But the judge made clear that Kimberly did have rights to make a decision on her own behalf. Thus he made clear that she was more than just possession to be handled as adults saw fit.
Certainly, the biological link between parent and child is important. But biological parents aren’t always preferable to adoptive ones, and biological parentage does not have an complete ownership that cancels (取消) all the rights of children.
36. What was first of all considered in the Florida judge’s ruling?
A. The biological link. B. The child’s benefits. C. The true practice. D. The parents’ feelings.
37. We can learn from the Kimberly case that _______.
A. children are more than just personal possessions of their parents
B. the biological link between parent and child should be paid more attention to
C. foster homes bring children more pain and suffering than care
D. biological parents shouldn't demand of custody rights after their child is adopted
38. The Twiggs demanded of custody rights to Kimberly because _______.
A. they found her unhappy in Mr. Mays’ custody B. they regarded her as their property
C. they were her biological parents D. they felt very sorry about their past mistake
39. Kimberly had been given to Mr. Mays _______.
A. by complete accident B. at his reques C. out of the hospital’s mistakes D. for better care
40. The author’s attitude towards the judge’s ruling could be described as ______.
A. doubtful B. surprised C. questionable D. supportive

Worldwide,almost as many women as men die from heart disease.Yet most treatment methods have come from studies of men.Researchers are now learning more about ways that heart.disease can be different in women.
For example,they say a condition called coronary microvascular syndrome(冠脉微血管综合症)appears to be more common in women than men.
When a heart attack is suspected,doctors look for a major blockage(阻塞物)in the arteries(动脉)that supply oxygen to the heart.With coronary microvascular syndrome,fatty material spreads evenly(均匀地)in very small arteries of the heart.This buildup of plaque(血小板)along the artery wall narrows the flow of oxygen.The pain can be similar to that of blocked arteries.
But doctors often miss this condition because it does not show up in the usual tests for blockages. Women are often sent home,thinking they are OK.Yet many are at high risk for a heart attack.
In USA,researchers say as many as three million women could have coronary microvascular syndrome.The Journal of the American College of Cardiology recently published findings from a government study.
The study is called the Women's Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation(妇女缺血综合征的评价),or WISE.Ischemic heart disease involves restricted blood flow.The study began in nineteen ninety-six and involves more than nine hundred women who suffer chest pain.
Researchers found large blockages in major arteries in about one-third of the women.The other women looked clear on an angiogram(血管造影)test for blockages.But the researchers say half of them had enough buildup in small arteries to cause a heart attack within five years.
In men and women both,the most common warning sign is chest pain.But women are more likely to experience other common signs like shortness of breath,a sick stomach and pain in the back or jaw.A cold sweat and feeling lightheaded can also mean a heart attack.
36. Which of the following may be the best title for the text?
A. Tests of ten Miss a Hidden Heart-Attack Risk in Women B. Researchers Find New Ways in Treating Heart Diseases
C. Researchers Find Heart Disease Treatment Methods for Women D. Women’s Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation Study
37. In order to find ways in treating heart disease ________ .
A. the government has wasted large amount of money in the research work
B. researchers used to make studies of both men and women
C. researchers used to make studies of men D. researchers used to make studies of women
38. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. A lot more men die as a result of heart disease than women do.
B. Women are more likely to suffer coronary microvascular syndrome than men.
C. Warning signs of heart disease are common in men and women.D. Heart disease can’t be different in men and women.
39. Women’s Ischemia Syndrome Evaluation Study was organized ________.
A. by some medical researchers B. by the American government

These sites take the style of a written tutorial and a tone of friendly advice.
Possibly the biggest and best known of these sites is Learn 2.com (www.learn 2.com). It offers nearly 1,000 free tutorials and adds new ones frequently for a job interview.
