Indeed ,the Egyptians began sending letters from about 2000 BC, as did the Chinese a thousand years later.‎ ‎ Of course ,modern postal services now are much more developed and faster ,depending as they do on cars and planes for delivery .Yet they are still too slow for some people to send urgent documents（紧急文件）and letters.‎ ‎ The invention of the fax（传真）machine increased the speed of delivering documents even more .When you send a fax ,you are sending a copy of a piece of correspondence to someone by telephone service .It was not until the early 1980s that such a service was developed enough for businesses to be able to fax documents to each other.‎ ‎ The fax service is still very much in use when copies of documents require to be sent ,but ,as a way of fast correspondence, it has been largely taken the place of by email. Email is used to describe messages sent from one computer user to another.‎ ‎ There are advantages and disadvantages with emails. If you send someone and email, then he will receive it extremely quickly. Normal postal services are rather slow as far as speed of delivery is concerned.‎ ‎ However ,if you write something by email ,which you might later regret ,and send it immediately ,there is no chance for second thoughts. At least ,if you are posting a letter you have to address and seal（封）the envelope and take it to the post box .There is plenty of time to change your mind. The message is think before you email!‎ ‎41．We can learn from the text that .‎ ‎ A．email is less popular than the fax service ‎ B．the postal service has over the years become faster ‎ C．the postal service has over the years become slower ‎ D．the fax service has a history as long as the postal service does ‎42．It can be inferred from the text that .‎ ‎ A．the fax service had been fully developed by the 1980s ‎ B．letters have been used in China for about 1,000 years ‎ C．the fax machine was invented after the 1980s ‎ D．letters have been used in Egypt for about 2,000 years ‎43．In the last paragraph ,the writer mentions “think before you email” to show that .‎ ‎ A．you may regret if you don’t seal your envelope ‎ B．you may regret before you send something by email ‎ C．you’d better not send your email in a hurry ‎ D．you need plenty of time to send an email ‎44．The text mainly deals with .‎ ‎ A．the progress in correspondence ‎ B．the advantage of fax machines ‎ C．the advantage of emails ‎ D．the invention of fax machines B ‎ LONDON Thursday July 26 (Reuters)—Eddy missed his girlfriend Anna so much he flew back to Britain from Australia to propose（求婚）to her. The problem is she did the same in the opposite direction.‎ ‎ He and Anna even managed to miss each other when they sat in the same airport waiting room in Singapore at the same time to wait for connecting flights.‎ ‎ Anna ,hearbroken when she arrived at Eddy’s Sydney flat to find he had flown to London ,told The Times: “It was as though someone was playing a cruel joke on us.” ‎ ‎ “He is the most romantic person I have ever known .I think our problem is that we are both quite impulsive（冲动的）people. We are always trying to surprise each other.” ‎ ‎ After an 11,000-mile flight across the globe, she was greeted by Eddy’s astonished roommate asking what she was doing there.‎ ‎ Eddy, a 27-year-old engineer ,had taken a year off to travel round Australia .But he was missing Anna ,a 26-year-old secretary, so much he got a job on a Sydney building site（工地）and started saving for a surprise.‎ ‎ He then flew home to Britain and went to her flat armed with an engagement（订婚）ring, wine and flowers.‎ ‎ “I really missed Anna and I’d been thinking about her all the time. I was so excited when she phoned me from Australia,” he said.‎ ‎ Eddy then asked Anna to marry him on the phone. “I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry but I accepted,” she said.‎ ‎ Anna was given a tour of Sydney by Eddy’s friends before going back home .Eddy had to stay in Britain for two weeks because he could not change his ticket.‎ ‎45．What does the last sentence of the first paragraph tell us?‎ ‎ A．Anna flew to Britain from Australia to marry him.‎ ‎ B．Anna flew to Australia from Britain to marry him.‎ ‎ C．Anna flew to Britain from Australia to propose to him.‎ ‎ D．Anna flew to Australia from Britain to propose to him.‎ ‎46．The underlined word “miss” in paragraph 2 most probably means .‎ ‎ A．escape from B．fail to understand ‎ C．fail to meet D．long to see ‎47．Eddy got a job on a Sydney building site because he .‎ ‎ A．wanted to travel round ‎Australia ‎ B．needed money to pay his daily cost ‎ C．was an engineer at this building site ‎ D．hoped to make money from this job ‎48．Which of the following is TRUE about Eddy and Anna according to the text?‎ ‎ A．Eddy proposed to Anna on the phone and Anna accepted.‎ ‎ B．Anna stayed in Australia waiting for Eddy’s arrival.‎ ‎ C．Anna had a good time touring Sydney with Eddy.‎ ‎ D．Eddy met Anna in the airport waiting room by chance.‎ C ‎ If you’re like most students , you probably read both at home and outside your home: perhaps somewhere on your schoolyard and maybe even at work during your breaks. Your reading environment can have a great effect on your understanding ,so give some thought to how you can create（营造）or choose the right reading environments. The right environment allows you to stay alert（专注的）and to keep all of your attention on the text, especially when it is both interesting and difficult.‎ ‎ When you’re at home ,you can usually create effective conditions for reading. You might want to choose a particular place— a desk or table, for example –where you always read .Make sure the place you choose is well lighted ,and sit in a chair that requires you to sit straight. Reading in a chair that’s too soft and comfortable is likely to make you sleepy! Keep your active reading tools (pens ,markers ,notebooks or paper) and a dictionary close at hand.‎ ‎ Before you sit down for a reading period ,try to reduce all possible interruptions. Turn off your phone, the television, and the radio. Tell your family members or roommates that you’ll be busy for a while .If necessary, put a “Do not disturb” sign on your door! The more interruptions you must deal with while you read, the harder it will be to keep your attention on the task at hand.‎ ‎49．The author believes that the right reading environment __________.‎ ‎ A．helps readers a little in their reading tasks ‎ B．helps readers a lot in their reading tasks ‎ C．can only be created at one’s home ‎ D．can only be created outside one’s home ‎50．Which type of the following interruptions is mentioned in the text?‎ ‎ A．Dictionaries. B．Paper.‎ ‎ C．Phone calls. D．Notebooks.‎ ‎51．What would be the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A．How to Read Fast ‎ B．Creating an Effective Reading Environment ‎ C．The Ways to Reduce Possible Interruptions ‎ D．What to Read D In many countries the standard of living enjoyed by their people has increased rapidly in recent years. Sadly, not everyone in these countries is so fortunate and many people in rich countries are homeless.‎ The reasons for homelessness are various, but poverty(贫穷) is undoubtedly one of the main causes. The homeless people may have become jobless and then been unable to pay their rent and so no longer have a roof over their heads. Often, the fact that unemployed people get help from the government prevents this from happening, but not always.‎ Some homeless people are mentally ill and have no one to look after them. Some are young people who, for one reason or another, have left home and have nowhere to live. Many of them have had a serious disagreement with their parents and have left home, choosing to go to a city and live on the streets. Sometimes they have taken such action because they have been unable to get on with a step-parent.‎ Many homeless people get into the habit of begging to get enough money to stay alive, but many of the general public refuse to give anything to beggars. Often they are moved on by the police, being accused(指控), whether rightly or wrongly, of forceful begging. There are many who disrespect homeless people.‎ Some cynics(愤世嫉俗的人) declare that homeless people choose to live the life which they lead. But who would willingly choose to live in a shop doorway, under a bridge or in a cardboard box?‎ ‎52．According to the text, what causes some people to be homeless?‎ ‎ A．Lack of money. B．The increased standard of living.‎ ‎ C．No government help. D．Agreement with their parents.‎ ‎53．It can be inferred from the text that _________.‎ ‎ A．the homeless are willing to live under a bridge or in a cardboard box ‎ ‎ B．you will not find homeless people in countries with a high standard of living ‎ C．the mentally ill live on the streets because they want the company of other home-‎ ‎ less people ‎ D．the unemployed who receive help may still be among the homeless ‎54．In paragraph 2, “a roof over their heads” most probably means _________.‎ ‎ A．a cap B．a car ‎ C．a home D．a covering ‎55．The author thinks that the homeless people are .‎ ‎ A．pitiful B．troublesome ‎ C．respectable D．admirable E Among rich countries, people in the United States work the longest hours. They work much longer than in Europe. This difference is quite surprising because productivity per hour worked is the same in the United States as it is in France, Spain and Germany, and it is growing at a similar speed.‎ In most countries and at most times in history, as people have become richer they have chosen to work less. In other words they have decided to “spend” a part of their extra income on a fuller personal life. Over the last fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern, and hours of work have fallen sharply. But not in the United States. We do not fully know why this is. One reason may be greatly lower taxes in America, which increase the rewards (回报) to work. Another may be more satisfying work, or less satisfying personal lives.‎ Longer hours do of course increase the GDP (国内生产总值). So the United States has produced more per worker than, say, France. The United Sates also has more of its people at work, while in France many more mothers and older workers have decided to stay at home. The overall result is that American GDP per head is 40% higher than in France, even though productivity per hour worked is the same.‎ It is not clear which of the two situations is better. As we have seen, work has to be compared with other values like family life, which often get lost in its interest. It is too early to explain the ‎ different trends (趋势) in happiness over time in different countries. But it is a disappointing idea that in the United States happiness has made no progress since 1975, while it has risen in Europe. Could this have anything to do with trends in the work-life balance (平衡)?‎ ‎56．From the text we know that the author ___________.‎ ‎ A．believes that longer working hours is better ‎ B．prefers shorter working hours to longer ones ‎ C．says nothing certain about which pattern is better ‎ D．thinks neither of the patterns is good ‎57．Which of the following countries has more of its people at work?‎ ‎ A．Spain. B．France.‎ ‎ C．Germany. D．America.‎ ‎58．In the last paragraph, the underlined word “which” refers to __________.‎ ‎ A．family life B．situations ‎ C．other values D．trends ‎59．What message can we get from the text?‎ ‎ A．The GDP of Europe is higher than that of America.‎ ‎ B．Two possible reasons are given for working longer hours in the US.‎ ‎ C．People all over the world choose to work less when they are richer.‎ ‎ D．Americans are happier than Europeans.‎ ‎60．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A．Americans and Europeans. B．Staying at Home.‎ ‎ C．Work and Productivity. D．Work and Happiness.‎ 第二节 根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎—Can I help you?‎ ‎—Yes, I’m looking for a sweater.‎ ‎— 61 ‎ ‎—I’m an extra large.‎ ‎— 62 ‎ ‎—Yes, that’s nice. 63 ‎ ‎—Certainly, there is a changing room over there.‎ ‎—Thank you.‎ ‎— 64 ‎ ‎—It’s too large.

At that time, New Orleans was famous for the new music of jazz and was home to many great musicians. Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their cqual.‎ ‎ In 1922 he went to Chicngo. There, the tale of Louis Armstrong begins. From then until the end of his life, Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherevet be went Armstrong had no equal when it came to playing the American popular song.‎ ‎ His cornet playing had a deep humanity (仁爱) and warmth that caused many listeners to say, “Listening to Pops just makes you feel good all over.”He was the father of the jazz style(风格) and also one of the best-known and most admired people in the world.

However, you can also find many weather signs among wildlife, because of their highly developed senses. Drops in air pressure(压力) produce an effect on small animals in many ways. Mice and deer are good weather indicators. People who spend a lot of time outdoors have observed that, before a storm, field mice come out of their holes and run around, Deer leave high ground and come down from the mountains.‎ ‎ Birds are especially good weather indicators because they also show the effect of a prcssure drop in many ways. For example, some birds become irritable(急躁的)and qusrrelsome and will fight over a picce of bread. Other birds chirp(叽叽喳喳)and sing just before a storm. It seems they know they won’t get snother chance for an bour ‎ on two. Birds also seek safe placcs before a storm, You will sometimes see birds settling in trees or gathering together on a wire close to a building. Pre-storm low pressure makes the are so thin that birds have difficulty flying.‎ ‎ It is unusual to see many birds flying overhead in the summertime, rather than during the periods in the spring or autumn. Watch for other weather signs if you see this. If they fly in the wrong direction,they may be flying abead of a storm.‎ ‎ By paying closer attention to some important signs in nature, we can become better prepared for any kind of weather.‎ ‎45.The word“indicators”in paragraph I probably means .

By mistake, Prcsident Chnton’s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese. Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names. President Kim Young Sam’s wife was named Sohm Myong Suk.Thercfore, she should be addressed (称谓)as Mrs. Sohn.‎ ‎ President Cuntot arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears. His failare to follow Korean customs gave the imprassion that Korea was not as important to him as Japan.‎ ‎ In addition to Koreans. Some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names. This practice often puzzles(使困惑) English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents. They become puzzled about the student’s correct last name. Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures.‎ ‎ Mexican naming customs are different as well. When a woman marries,she keeps her family name and adds her husband’s name after the word de (of). This affects (影响)how they fill in forms in the United States. When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father’s family name. But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother. This often causes puzziement.‎ ‎ Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations:don’t always think that a married woman uses her husband’s last name. Remember that in may Asian cultures,the order of first and last names is reversed (颠倒),Ask which name a person would prefer to use. If the name is difficult to pronounce,admit it, and ask the person to help you say it conectiy.‎ ‎49.The story of Bill Clinton is used to .

(C)‎ ‎ A.are her middle name B.use her husband’s first name ‎ C.ask her which name she likes D.change the order of her names D ‎ Teens don’t understand the big fass (小题大做).As the first generation to grow up in a wired world,they hardly know a time when computers weren’t around, and they cagerly eatch the chance to spend hours online, chatting with friends,So what?‎ ‎ But researchers nationwide are increasingly worried that teens are becoming isolated(孤寂),less skillful at person-to-person relationships, and perhaps numb (麻木) to the chcatings that are so much a part of the e-mail world.“And a tenn’s sense of self and values may be changed in a world where personal connections can be limitless,”said shetty Turklt.‎ ‎ Another resarcher, Pobert Kraut, said he’s worried about the“opportunity costs”(机会成本) of so much online time for youths. He found that teens who used computers,even just a few hours a week, showed incrcased signs of loneliness and socol isolation.“Chatting onine may be better than watching television, but it’s worse than hanging out (闲逛)with real friends,”he said.‎ ‎ Today’s teens, however,don’t see anything strange in the fact that the computer takes up a central place in their social lives,“School is busy and full of pressurs. There’s almost no time to just hang out.”said Parker Rice, 17. “Talking online is just catch up time.”‎ ‎ Teens say they feel good about what they say online or taking the time to think about a reply. Some teens admit that asking someone for a date, or breaking up, can be easier in message form,though they don’t want to do so. But they insist there’s no harm.‎ ‎53.The researchers argue that . (A)‎ ‎ A.teens may develop a different sense of values ‎ B.nothing is wrong with teens’chatting online ‎ C.teens can manage their social connections ‎ D.spending hours online does much good to teens ‎54.The text mainly deals with .

Southeast Asians leave their poorer countries for their richer neighbours.‎ ‎ Many of these wage earners return in the end. In the meantime, they send home huge amounts of money-in the Philippines’ case, over 10% of its GDP. Between January and November, the amount was up 18% on the same period of 2005, Poverty and unemployment are still bigh in the Philippines and other labour exporring(劳务输出)countries. They would be far worse but for this outflow of bodies and inflow of doflars As for those Asian countries that inport (输入)labour,as in Europe, falling birth rates mean they are going to need more foreign workers.‎ ‎ On Jamuary 13th leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations(ASEAN)signed an agreement to help migrant(流动的)workers-with the realization that the flow of labour between their countries is a growing problem that they cannot blame on outsiders. A 2005 study showed that 8.4 million Southeast Asians worked outside their home countries, but this did not include the huge numbers of Indonesians doing so without papers. So the true total is probably rather higher.‎ ‎ Of the ten ASEAN countries, the Philippines,Indonesia, Myanmar,Carnbodia,Victram and Lacs export labour, Singapore and Brunci import it, and Thailand and Malaysia do both. Sriracaki of the UN’s Internstional Labour Organiztion points out that,in the next ten years,the total labour foree of the worker expotting countries should grow by about a third. It makes semse to work on the problem before it gets out of control.‎ ‎ People in the receiving countries seem to be worried about competition for their jobs.Most Thais said theit government should admit (准入) no more foreign workers, and a few thought otherwise. Even in Singapore,just over ball of people are against adunitting more foreign workers. Malaysians think that the incrcase in foreign workers has worsened crime rates(犯罪率).‎ ‎57.It can be inferred from the case of the Philippines that . (C)‎ ‎ A.the country is Asla’s main source of migrant workets ‎ B.labour exparts lend to a 10% growth of its GDP ‎ C.the outflow of lend to helps solve its social probiems ‎ D.the country Both exports and imports labour force ‎58.The flow of labour is a growing problem because . (A)‎ ‎ A.there is a greater flow of labour than reported ‎ B.more Indonesians work abroad without papers ‎ C.some countries suffer from low birth rates ‎ D.the ASEAN is against admitting foreign workers ‎59.For the labour importing countries, the flow of labour may lead to .(D)‎ ‎ A.higher birth rates B.lower crime rates ‎ C.greater money inflows D.stronger job competition ‎60.The writer of the text seems to . (B)‎ A.support the flow of labour between countries B.report fairly on the question of labour flow C.express his worries over the ASEAN’s decision D.regard the outflow of labour as a serious problem ‎（二）根据对话情景和内容，从对话后所给的选项中选出能填入每一空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有两个为多余选项。‎ ‎ Li Hua,who is pleuning to travel with his parents, is now calling Hyan Travel ‎ Ageney in Xi’an.

We chose the first. Up early; my husband and I and our three children couldn’t 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 couldn’t help noticing that the other tourists weren’t like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed, As the sun rose higher, Arizona’s 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 we’d 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 I’d suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.‎ ‎41. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?‎ A. They made a careful preparation before the trip B. 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.‎ ‎42. The underlined expression “Our legs were like jelly” probably means .‎ A. we were weak B. we were unhappy ‎ C. we were dissatisfied D. we were disappointed ‎43. Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air?‎ A. It proved to be frightening. B. It was more comfortable C. It turned out to be exciting D. It made each of them tired.‎ ‎44. We can infer from the passage that .‎ A. experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best way B. 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.‎ B Photographs 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. Hine’s 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.‎ ‎45. The underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refers to .‎ A. beauties B. photos C. goods D. events ‎46. The photos of the small children by Hine show us that photos .‎ A. are also works of art B. are popular ways of reporting news C. often shock the public D. can serve as a force for social change ‎47. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. News with pictures is encouraging. B. Photos help people improve C. News photos mean history in a sense. D. People prefer reading news with pictures.‎ ‎48. The text is mainly about .‎ A. telling the story through picture B. decorating the walls of homes C. publishing historical papers D. expressing feeling through pictures C This was no ordinary class. The students who came together were all science or engineering professors at Cornell‎ ‎University. They had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment: “an interesting week of poetry.” This class was part of a study to answer the questions: Why is science difficult for many nonscience students? What can teachers learn about teaching if they take a class that is not in their field?‎ The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes. They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers. All students noticed one thing – the importance of spoken words. In science and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard. But in this poetry class, the instructors just talked. They didn’t write anything on the board.‎ The scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science and poetry. In both subjects, students need to find layers (层次)　of meaning . Some layers are simple, clean, and on the surface; other layers are deeper and more difficult. This search for different levels of meaning doesn’t happen much in undergraduate(本科)　science classes, but it is important later, in graduate school. And it is always important in humanities(人文科学).‎ Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience. One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using informative as he teaches. Most of the scientists agreed on several points. First, humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important. Second, the poetry class was fun. One engineer decided, “We need to change the way we teach engineering to make to make it an enjoyable experience for students.”‎ But perhaps the most important result of the experience was this; All of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they cam teach better.‎ ‎49. What do we know about this unusual class?‎ A. The teachers did lots of writing on the board B. The teacher were invited to attend several lectures.‎ C. The student were professors from a university D. The students were studying science and humanities.‎ ‎50. The experiment was designed to find out ‎ ‎ A. how to teach the students in the science class B. whether poetry is difficult for science students C. what to be taught in the humanities class D. why many humanities students find science hard.‎ ‎51. Finding levels of meaning is .‎ ‎ A. important for graduate students in humanities B. difficult for graduate students in humanities C. common for undergraduate students in science D. easy for undergraduate students in science.‎ ‎52. What did the science professors learn after the experiment?‎ ‎ A. They should change the way they teach B. A poem could be explained in clear definitions.‎ C. A poetry class could be more informative.‎ D. Their teaching was an enjoyable experience.‎ D ‎ Runners in a relay(接力) race pass a stick in one direction. However, merchants passed silk, gold, fruit, and glass along the Silk Road in more than one direction. They earned their living by traveling the famous Silk Road.‎ The Silk Road was not a simple trading network. It passed through thousands of citied and towns. It started from eastern China, across Central Asia and the Middle East, and ended in the Mediterranean Sea. It was used from about 200 B, C, to about A, D, 1300, when sea travel offered new routes(路线)　, It was sometimes called the world’s longest highway. However, the Silk Road was made up of many routes, not one smooth path. They passed through what are now 18 countries. The routes crossed mountains and deserts and had many dangers of hot sun, deep snow and even battles. Only experienced traders could return safe.‎ ‎ The Silk Road got its name from its most prized product. Silk could be used like money to pay taxes or buy goods. But the traders carried more than just silk. Gold, silver, and glass from Europe were much found in the Middle East and Asia. Horses traded from other areas changed farming practices in China. Indian merchants traded salt and other valuable goods. Chinese merchants traded paper, which produced an immediate effect on the West. Apples traveled from central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to graft(嫁接)　different trees together to make new kinds of fruit. They passed this science on to others, including the Romans. The Romans used grafting to grow the apple. Trading along the Silk Road led to world-wide business 2,000 years before the World Wide Web.‎ The people along the Silk Road did not share just goods. They also shared their beliefs. The Silk Road provided pathways for learning, diplomacy(外交), and religion (宗教)‎ ‎53. It’s probable that traders along the Silk Road needed .‎ A. to remember the entire trade route B. to know the making of products C. to receive certain special training D. to deal with a lot of difficulties ‎54. The Silk Road became less important because .‎ A. it was made up of different routes B. silk trading became less popular C. sea travel provided easier routes D. people needed fewer foreign goods ‎55. New technologies could travel along the Silk Road because people .‎ A. learned from one another B. shared each other’s beliefs C. traded goods along the route D. earned their living by traveling ‎56. What is the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A. The Silk Road ; Past and Present B. The Silk Road; East Meets West C. The Silk Road; Routes Full of Dangers D. The Silk Road; Pathways for Learning E ‎ Did you know that women’s brains are smaller than men’s? The average women’s brain weighs 10% less than men’s. Since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent(聪明的) than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size. Why? After years of study,‎ ‎ researchers have concluded that it’s what’s inside that matters, not just the size of the brain. The brain consists of “grey matter” and It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women. This means that little girls tend to learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of information from different sources at the same time. When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, it’s women who come out on top every time.‎ ‎ There are other important differences between two sexes. As white matter is the key to spatial(空间的) tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things. “A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go,” says one researcher. That may explain one of life’s great mysteries: why men refuse to ask for directions … and women often need to!‎ ‎ The differences begin when fetuses(胎儿) are about mine weeks old, which can be seen in the action of children ad young as one. A boy would try to climb a barrier (障碍物) before him or push it down while a girl would attract help from others. These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills, while more women speech skills. It may all go back to our ancestors(祖先) ,among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research.‎ ‎ If all this disappoints you, it shouldn’t. “The brain changes throughout our lives according to what we do with it.” says a biologist.‎ ‎57. Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Women’s brain is 10% less than men’s ‎ B. Grey matter plays the same role as white matter.‎ ‎ C. Grey matter controls thinking in the brain.‎ ‎ D. Both sexes have the same amount of white matter.‎ ‎58. What can we infer from the second and third paragraphs?‎ ‎ A. Women prefer doing many things at a time.‎ ‎ B. Men do better dealing with one job at a time. ‎ ‎ C. Women do not need to tell directions.‎ ‎ D. Men have weaker spatial abilities.‎ ‎59. Which of the following do you agree with according to the fourth paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Young boys may be stronger than young girls.‎ ‎ B. More women take up jobs requiring speech skills ‎ C. Women may have stronger feelings than men.‎ ‎ D. Our ancestors needed more spatial skills.‎ ‎60. What is the writer’s attitude in writing this passage?‎ A. Defensive. B. Persuasive. ‎ C. Supportive.

The moment I got home, I found I_____my jacket on the playground.    A. had left    B. left     C. have left       D. was leaving 答案：A。 考点：考查动词时态语态 解析：主句动词为过去式，从句动作又早于主句动作，即过去的过去，应用过去完成式。 备考：过去完成时，即过去的过去。如： When I got to the station, the train had left. By the time he was twelve, Edison had began to make a living by himself. She said (that) she had never been to Paris. 7.

The message is very important, so it is supposed_____as soon as possible.     A. to be sent      B. to send       C. being sent      D. sending 答案：A。 考点：考查非谓语动词及其语态。 解析： be supposed to do是固定搭配。又因it（the message）与send因为被动关系，故用动词不定式的被动语态。 12. He doesn’t have_____furniture in his room --just an old desk.     A. any    B. many    C. some    D. much 答案：D。 考点：考查名词及不定代词 解析：Furniture是不可数名词，可排除B。some不用于否定句，可排除C。not any 为完全否定，与下文just an old desk（仅有一张旧课桌）矛盾, 排除A。选D，意为“家具不多”，正好与just an old desk呼应。 13. The man pulled out a gold watch,_____were made of small diamonds.     A. the hands of whom         B. whom the hands of     C. which the hands of        D. the hands of which 答案：D。 解析：从四个选项的设置不难看出是考察介词加关系代词引导的非限制性定语从句。再从先行词watch可看出是指物，可排除A和B。C项中关系代词应放在介词之后，如改为of which the hands 也是可以的。选D，意为“……钟的指针是用小钻石做成的。‎ ‎14. _____around the Water Cube, we were then taken to see the Bird’s Nest for the 2008 Olympic Games.     A. Having shown    B. To be shown    C. Having been shown    D. To show 答案：C。 考点：考察非谓语动词作状语 解析：非谓语动词作状语，其逻辑主语就是主句的主语。show与We为被动关系，且发生在主句谓语动词之前，应该用完成式。故选C，现在分词的完成被动式。意思是：我们在被带领着参观了水立方后，又被带去参观为2008年奥运会准备的“鸟巢” 15. –Did you go to the show last night?     –Yeah. Every boy and girl in the area _____ invited.     A. were   B. have been     C. has been      D. was 答案：D。 解析：考察主谓一致。 由and连接的两个名词同时被every，each或no修饰时，谓语动词用单数。再从问话的 last night可以看出，应为为过去式。‎ ‎16.

Hopeless是令人失望的，而不是失望的，如：Most of the students are making good progress but Jeremy seems a hopeless case,大多数学生进步都很快, 但杰里米却似乎无可救药。 painful“使疼痛的，令人烦恼的”，而不是“烦恼的”。如：It was painful to admit that I was wrong. dull, 令人厌烦的; 单调的，而不是“烦恼的”如：: The conference was deadly dull. 备考：准确掌握词义，在学习这类形容词时，要尤其注意是主动意味，还是被动意味，又如：interesting 令人感兴趣的，有趣的，interested 感兴趣的。主动意味的多用于事物，被动意味的多用于人。The book is interesting. I’m interested in the book. 本题中：除A以外的三个词，都是“令人……，使人感到……”，很显然用于the woman是不合适的。‎ ‎22. 答案：B 考点：动词词义 解析：从run away with ‎ pears看出，应该是大声的喊，shout，大声说出。Whisper是低声说。Call做喊叫讲不带表示内容的的宾语。Announce，通知。 备考：做完形填空一定要注意上下文。不可只看一句话。 23. 答案：A 考点：动词 解析：从one evening 以及下文的next morning可看出是请求过夜。stay for the night 过夜，固定搭配。 24. 答案：B 考点：形容词 解析：从常识可知，留宿陌生人应该考虑他是否是诚实。从下文let him in 看出是允许进入。故选B. honest，与下文This one did not look trustworthy to her呼应。 25.  答案：C 考点：动词 解析：既然允许过夜，接下来最有可能的应该是招待。treat 招待，款待，其它选项不符合情理。‎ ‎26. 答案：D 考点：名词词义辨析 解析：从下文that引导同位语从句的内容看，应该是她的一个很难实现的愿望。suggestion 建议demand 要求 permission 允许，均对题意不符。 27. 答案：B 考点：同位语从句 解析：wish是先行词，同位语从句谓语动词用should + 动词原形，另外，could不能与be able to连用 28. 答案：A 考点：动词 解析：根据上下文，没有她的允许不得下来。 29.  答案：D 考点：名词 解析：到树上当然是偷摘果实（梨）了。branch 树枝； food 食物； tree 树，均不符合题意。 30. 答案：D 考点：连词 解析：长时间的请求后，老太太才让梨树放他们下来。Before，在……之前，才……‎ ‎31. 答案：B 考点：代词 解析：当然是放偷梨的孩子走了。用them指代偷梨的孩子 32. 答案：C 考点：名词 解析：这样的整治，孩子们当然不敢来了，老太太自然就没有这个麻烦了。 33. 答案：C 考点：动词 解析：据上下文，有一个停在她家门前请求住宿。Stop at 在某处停下来。 34. 答案：A 考点：连词 解析：看见这个人不太可信，所以要查问他了。有因果关系 35. 答案：A 考点：介词 解析：take sb with sb 带某人走， 36.‎ ‎ 答案：B 解析：从上下文可知，是摘一些梨作为纪念。从climb可以看出是要上树采摘，而不是挑选或摇动。‎ ‎37. 答案：B 考点：形容词 解析：从文章一开始，She spent all her time taking care of the tree.可知老太太与这棵梨树的深厚感情。摘几颗梨应该是想记住它所带给她的快乐了。从文章中也没有看到，梨树给他带了什么荣誉、希望或者是什么兴奋的事情。 38. 答案：C 考点：形容词 解析：从climb high to get the best fruit可知，是老太太以“年老爬不上树”为由诱骗“death” 上树（进入陷阱） 39. 答案：B 考点：形容词 解析：Will you be so kind to do sth 请求别人帮助，固定表达法。 40. 答案：C 考点：形容词 解析：从With a deep sigh可知，Death并不愿意为他爬树摘梨，但念及快要死的人了，就答应了，但不会很乐意的，unwillingly 不乐意地。Disappointedly是失望的，这里death并没有什么愿望，也就谈不上失望了。‎ 阅读理解 41. 答案：C 考点：细节理解 解析：We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.结果是：shocked at how narrow the path was，当然是not as lovely as they expected. 最已混淆的是D，但从全文看他们的旅途不愉快，主要是身体虚弱而非夏天的热。 42. 答案：A 考点：推理归纳 解析：path出乎预料的艰难，太阳火辣，决定返回，回来时必然是“软弱无力” 43. 答案：A 考点：推论总结 解析：as the pilot tossed(翻转)　the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, “STOP, TAKE US BACK!”可看出他们胆战心惊， frightening早已代替了comfortable。‎ ‎44. 答案：C 考点：细节推论 解析：作者显然是在开玩笑的提出了第四种方式—买本杂志舒舒服服的看大峡谷，不用担惊受怕。 on mules 没有尝试无从谈起，排除A。穿衣多少没有谈到。排除B ，从pretending he was going to hit the ground.

Ks5u Language Ks5u A. knowledge of the local language can help international business people in four ways. First, people can communicate directly. Second, people are usually more open in their communication with someone who speaks their language. Third, an understanding of the language allows people to infer meanings that are not said directly. Finally, knowing the language helps people to understand the culture better. Ks5u Values are people’s basic beliefs about the difference between right and wrong, good and bad . An attitude is a way of thinking or acting. Values and attitudes influence international business. For example, many people in the United States believe that chocolate from Switzerland is better than chocolate from other countries, and they buy a lot of it. Ks5u Customs and manners Ks5u Customs are common social practices. Manners are ways of acting that the society believes are polite. For example, in the United States, it is the custom to have salad （色拉） before the main course at dinner, not after. It’s not acceptable to talk with food in mouth at table. Failure to understand the customs and manners of other countries will bring difficulty selling their products. Orange juice as a breakfast drink of an American company in France doesn’t sell well because the French don’t usually drink juice with breakfast. Ks5u ‎ Ks5u ‎57.

Jeffers This month Dr. Jeffers is answering questions about the human brain and how it works.‎ Dear Dr. Jeffers, ‎ One of my colleagues, Felix Moeller, told me that scientists are learning to use computer to ‘read minds’. Is there any truth to this story/‎ ‎—Jane Leon, New York, USA Dear Ms. Leon,‎ Well, a lot of research is being conducted in this area, but so far, the brain scanning equipment and corresponding computer programs haven’t been able to actually read thoughts. In one experiment, test subjects（受试者）were connected to scanning equipment and shown two ‎ numbers on a screen. They were then asked to choose between adding or subtracting（减）the two numbers. Using this method, researchers were able to follow brain processes and make the correct assumptions（假设）70 percent of the time. It’s not quite mind reading, but it’s certainly a first step.‎ ‎—Dr. J.‎ Dear Dr. Jeffers, ‎ My three-year-old son loves it when I dig my fingers into his sides and tickle （胳肢）him until he laughs uncontrollably. The other day I noticed him trying to tickle himself but he couldn’t do it. Why not?‎ ‎—Glenn Lewis, Vancouver, Canada Dear Mr. Lewis,‎ It’s because of how the brain works. The brain is trained to know what to pay attention to and what to ignore. It causes us to ignore physical feelings we expect to happen, but it causes a mild panic reaction when there is an unexpected feeling. For example, you don’t notice how your shoulder feels while you’re walking down the street. But if someone comes up behind you and touches you lightly on the shoulder, you may jump in fear. It’s that unexpected part that causes the tickle reaction.‎ ‎—Dr. J.‎ ‎46.What can we learn from the answer to the first question? 【B】‎ A. Some equipment is able to read human minds.‎ B. Some progress has been made in mind reading.‎ C. Test subjects have been used tomake decisions.‎ D.

C ‎ There are many occasions（场合） for giving gifts in modern industrialinzed societies;birthdays,naming ceremonies, weddings, anniversaries, New Year, It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures. In addition, special events, such as one’ s first day of school or graduation from university, often require gift fiving.‎ ‎ 62. F ‎ What is happening when we give gifts? Most important, we are exchanging gifts. If someone gives me a gift for my birthday, I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. A gift builds up or confirms a social oblingation（义务）.‎ ‎ 63. D ‎ Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. People say that a gift lets the recipient（接受者） know we are thinking of them, and that we want to make the person “feel special.”We want people to feel wanted, to feel part of our social or family group. We give presents to say “I’m sorry.”Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present ‎ that someone will like. Sometimes we give things that we like or would frrl comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sending out messages－often very expressive ones.‎ ‎64. B ‎ People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way. A woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house.These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years:“I appreciate these, and they mean something to me,”the woman said,“because I remember the occasions they were given on, and that they were from my mother, and the relationship we’ve had.”The gifts remain and keep the relationship alive in mind. This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others. She hoped that the recipients would look at here gifts in years to come and ‎ 65. A ‎ Emotions(情感)like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving. They prove that the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful. Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case. Each gift is unique even if so many are given.The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition to continue.‎ ‎ 第三部分 写作（共三节，满分55分）‎ ‎ 第一节 单词拼写（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 根据下列各句句意和空白之后的汉语提示词，在答题卡指定区域的横线上写出对应单词的正确形式，每空只写一词。‎ ‎ 66.The car is running at a speed/rate(速度)of eighty kilometers an hour.‎ ‎ 67.The teacher is glad that everyone in her class iseager(渴望的)to learn.‎ ‎ 68.Jeff has thehabit(习惯)of listening to music while reading.‎ ‎ 69.Mr. White has been absent/away（缺席的）from work for days, so he knows nothing about our new plan.‎ ‎70.He tried to explain（解释）,but she wouldn’t listen.‎ ‎71.The local government is discussing（讨论）how to help the poor in the countryside.‎ ‎72.When things aren’t going well, my parents always encourage（鼓励）me, telling me not to give up.‎ ‎73.Miss Harper closed her eyes and pretended（假装）to be asleep.‎ ‎74.We sat chatting for a few minutes（分钟）after finishing our meal.‎ ‎75.I have been deeply（深深地）impressed by a number of experiences in her life.‎ 第二节 短文改错（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏词符号（^），并在其下面写出该加的词。‎ 删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。‎ 修改：在错的词下划一横线（ ），并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ 注意：1.每处错误及修改均仅限一词;‎ ‎2.只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。‎ My sister saw a lovely cup when we are shopping the other day.

However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.‎ Born in September, 1987, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.‎ Irene entered the University‎ of ‎Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities（设备） to help save the lives of wounded soldiers.Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgrum. Her services were recognised in the form of a Military’s Medal by the French government. In 1918, Irene became her mother’s assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taugh him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.‎ Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity（辐射能）.

I wanted to go nowhere but to Cornell‎ ‎University,but my mother fought strongly againsnst it. When she saw me studying a photograph of my father on the sports ground of Cornell,she tore it up.‎ ‎“You can’t say it’s not a great university,just because Papa went there.”‎ ‎“That’s not it at all.And it is a top university.”She was still holding the pieces in her hand. “But we can’t afford to send you to college.”‎ ‎“I wouldn’t dream of asking you for money.Do you want me to get a job to help suppont you and Papa?Things aren’t that bad,are they?”‎ ‎“No,”she said. “I don’t expect you to help support us.”‎ Father borrowed money form his rich cousins to start a small jewellery shop,His chief customers were his old college friends.To get new customers,my mother had to help.She picked up a long-forgotten membership in the local league of women,so that she cound get to know more people. Whether those people would turn into customers was another question. I knew that my Parents had to wait for quite a long time before their small investment (投资) could show returns.What’s more ,they had not wanted enough to be roch and successful ；otherwise they cound not possibly have managed their lives so badly.‎ I was torn between the desave to help them and change,their lives,and the determinstion not to repeat their mistakes.I had a strong belief in my power to go what I ‎ wanted.After months of hard study I won a full college scholarship（奖学金）.My father could hardly contain his pride in me,and my mother eventually gave in before my success.‎ ‎53.The author was not allowed to go to Cornell University mainly because【D】‎ A. his father grduated from the university B. his mother did not thinks it a great university C. his parents needed him to help support the family D. his parents did not have enough money for him ‎54.The father srarted his small shop with the money from .【C】‎ A.a local league B.his university C.his relatives D.his college friends ‎55.Why did the mother renew her membership in the league? 【A】‎ A.To help with her husband’s business B.To raise money for her son C.To meet her long-forgotten friends D.To better manage her life ‎56.According to the text,what was the author determined to do in that autumn? 【C】‎ A. To get a well-paid job for himself B. To improve relations with his mother C. To go to his dream university D. To carry on with his father’s business D Ever since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s, gentically mondified (GM, 转基因) foods have been increasingly developed and marketed in many countries in the word,mainly on the basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis. But can GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would ,is it the best solutiorr?‎ ‎ Despite what it promiises,GM technology actually has not increased the production potential of any corp. In fact ‎ ‎ Studies show that the most crown GM croo.‎ GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For instance, a report than analysed nearly two decades of research on mojor GM food crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantly increase US crop production.‎ Something else, however, has been on the rise, While GM seeds are expensive, GM companics tell farmers that they will make good profits by saving money on pesticides（杀虫剂）. On the contrary, US government data show that GM crops in the US have produced an overall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. “ The promise was that you could use less chemicals and boost production. But nether is true,” said Bill Christison, President of the US National Farm Coalition.‎ At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: Twelve Myths argue that there actually is more than enough food in the world and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, but by problems in food distribution and politics. These indeed deserve our efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices results from the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food, according to a 2008 World Bank report.‎ As a matter of fact ,scientists see better ways to feed the world. Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops have little to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger, because better ways out are available, among which “green” farming is supposed to be the first choice.‎ ‎57.The author develops the second paragraph mainly . 【C】‎ A. by classification B. by comparison ‎ C. by example D. by process ‎ ‎58. What does the underlined word “boost ” in the third paragraph probably mean? 【D】‎ A. Control. B. Evaluate C. Obtain. D. Increase.‎ ‎59. GM companies promise farmers that they will benefit from ______________. 【B】‎ A. practicing “green” farming B. use of less chemicals C. fair distribution of their crops D. using more crops for fuel ‎60. Which of the following best describes the attitude of the author towards GM technology? 【C】‎ A. Optimistic B. Defensive C. Disapproving D. Casual 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从下框A~F选项中选出能概括每段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。‎ A. A sense of humour is not an inborn ability.‎ B. A sense of humour can be developed in our life.‎ C. A sense of humour helps us from several aspects.‎ D. A sense of humour means more than telling jokes.‎ E. A sense of humour can be expressed in many ways.‎ F. A sense of humour helps people to better enjoy life.‎ C ‎ 61.‎ As awareness of the cenefits of humour increases, most of us want to get all the langhs we can. It seems that almost every day there is another new discovery about the power of humour to help us physically, mentally, cmotionally, and sp[iritually. Every system of the body responds to langhter in some important or positive way .‎ A ‎62.‎ Many pcople mistakenly believe that we are born with a sense of humour. They think that when it comes to a sense of humour. “either you have got it or you don't .” This is ‎ false! What is true, however, is that the ability to laugh and smile is actually something we are born with. For example, we laugh when we are tickled under the arm, even without thinking about how to react.‎ B ‎63. ‎ The parts of the brain and central nervous system that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth in human infants, but that is not the same thing as having a sense of humour. (After all, when a baby laughs in his small bed we don’t rush over and say, “That kid has a great sense of humour!”) Your sense of humour is something you can ‎ develop over a lifetime. Don’t be nervous before others and try to laugh at yourself-then you will make them laugh too.‎ D ‎64. ‎ Humour includes a lot more than laughing and joke telling. Many people worry needlessly that they do not have a good sense of humour because they are not good joke tellers. More than jokes, a sense of humour requires being willing and able to see the funny side of life’s situations as they happen. In fact, one of the best definitions（定义）of a sense of humour is “the ability to see the nonserious element in a situation.”‎ F ‎65. ‎ There may be a thousand different ways to express your sense of humour, but joke telling is only one of those ways. As more is discovered about how humour benefits our life, more people will be able to see and enjoy the humour when they are in a difficult situation. Life depends on air, food and water, but it is made easier to live with a good sense of humour.‎ 第三部分： 写作（共三节，满分55分）‎ 第一节 单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 根据下列各句句意和空白之后的汉语提示词，在答题卡指定区域的横线上写出对应单词的正确、完整形式，每空只写一词。‎ ‎66.
