Rudi 五、阅读理解(共15小题，计30分，其中第一节10小题，计20分；第二节5小题，计10分) 第一节：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。 A Two people sit down to play Go(围棋). One of the players is an old man. He is now 89 years old. He has spent all of his life playing this game. The other person is a young woman. She has been playing Go for only three years. Before this, the woman was an expert at playing computer games. Now she plays Go the same way she played computer games by becoming a machine herself. They will play many games, until they know who the winner is. The woman shows no feelings but thinking about all the possible ways of placing her next stone. The old man, on the other hand, looks at the movements of her hands and of her face. This has always helped him to win. He wins the first three games. She wins the next game, and the man is surprised. He has never lost to a woman. The old man worries about the way the young woman is playing the game. He can't read her face; he does not understand her way of playing. "The way I think about the game" says the woman, "is that it is steps for getting what I want." Again, the old man is surprised. For him, the game is a way of life itself, and not a model of life. "There is no more beauty any longer. Everything is science and rules. Everything is about winning. Nothing is about playing" he says. They cannot agree with each other; but it is not necessary. "Change is a necessary part of life" thinks the man. &quotlaying is as important as winning" thinks the woman.      They start to play their final game. 41. According to the passage, the Go games are played by ______.    A. two Go beginners B. two Go lovers C. father and daughter D. husband and wife 42. Before the woman plays Go, she was ______.    A. a computer game player    B. a computer science teacher    C. a computer engineer       D. a computer store owner 43. Which of the following is true according to the passage?    A. The old man loses the third game to the woman.    B. The old man wins all the games against the woman.    C. The woman has her own way of playing Go.    D. The woman is very slow in learning how to play Go. 44. From the passage we can know ________.    A. the old man doesn't care who the winner is    B. the woman pays no attention to the steps    C. the old man learns something from the woman    D. the woman loses the last game to the old man 45. What is the best title of the passage? A. An Old Go Player B. A Strange Woman C. A Boring Game D. Winning or Playing? B Why do plants grow in some places and not in others? Why does some land have so much growing on it, while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all? To grow, plants need several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the Earth only a few unusual plants can grow. That's why dry deserts everywhere are almost not covered by trees or grass. Plants must also have a place in which to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is built on hard land. The plants here have only the soil found between the cracks of the stones to grow in. Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food. What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants, such as beach grass, will grow in sand, but most plants won't. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day, many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no food for plants. 46. According to the passage, plants need ______ things to grow well.    A. two B. three C. four D. five 47. What does the underlined word "cracks" mean in the text?    A. 缝隙 B. 表面 C. 夹层 D. 底部 48. From the passage, we can know it is   for plants to grow in dry places.    A. easy B. difficult C. impossible D. important 49. The reason why most plants can't grow on the sandy beach is that _______.    A. there isn't enough sunlight   B. there is too much water    C. it is too crowded there       D. it has little food for plants 50. The passage can most probably be found in a ______book.    A. science B. history C. travel D. math 第二节：Michael, Tim, Peter, Gina 和Sarah正在各自打算去参观一座名塔。请仔细阅读第51—55题中的个人情况说明和A到E五座名塔的介绍，选出符合各人要求的最佳选项。 51. Tim, from America, is "traveling around the world. His last stop is to visit a tower where he can spend the night. 52. Michael, a student of history, is ready to write a paper on old towers. He is going to visit one in Europe. 53. Gina, a teacher from Australia, likes shopping very much. She is thinking of buying different things for her students. 54. Sarah is a college student. She is on holiday in July and would like to visit the tallest tower of the five below. 55. Peter is interested in plants and animals. He is now looking for a tower where he can see fish and other water animals. A CN Tower Toronto, Canada ● built in 1975 ● 1,815 feet tall ● 2 million visitors a year ● a wonderful restaurant B Oriental Pearl Tower Shanghai, China ● built in 1995 ● 1,535 feet tall ● a TV station ● a 20-room hotel C Tokyo Tower, Japan ● built 1959 ● 1,092 feet tall ● an aquarium (水族馆) ● painted orange and white D The Petronas Towers, Malaysia ● built in 1997 ● 1,483 feet tall ● a sky-bridge ● a large shopping center E ETlhtf Pisa Leaning Tower, Italy ● built in 1350 ● 180 feet tall ● unusual-looking ● a bell tower 六、词语填空(共15小题，计15分) 用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，使短文通顺、正确、连贯(每个单词限用一次)。 something,  not,  tree,  simply,  spend,   you,  why,  that,  they,  if,  little,  go,  in,  on,  protect The Earth needs a helping hand The Earth is getting warmer because of the activities of people. We cut down and burn   56   and send gases into the air with our cars and factories. Can we do anything about it? Sure. We may   57   be leaders or scientists but we can play our part in   58    the planet. Here are two ideas. Bike, don't ride to school Do you   59    to school by bus or by bike? If you bike, you are doing   60    for the Earth. Buses, cars, trains and planes produce a lot of carbon dioxide (二氧化碳). If you live near to your school,   61   not bike there on warm spring mornings? Or, you can   62    walk to school to save energy. Wash the green way Do you help your mom and dad wash clothes? Then wash them   63    an energy-saving way. A recent study by Cambridge University found    64    60 percent of the energy used on a piece of clothing is    65    in washing and drying it. Over it a lifetime, a T-shirt can send up to 4 kilograms of carbon dioxide into the air. 　66    you wash your own clothes, wash them in cold or warm water to save energy, but not hot water. Wash your clothes when   67   fill up the machine. Use the most energy-saving machine you can find. Some new ones use as    68    as one-fourth of the energy of older machines. When they're clean, dry    69    clothes the natural way, by hanging them   70    a line rather than putting them in a dryer. In all, you can cut the carbon dioxide used in washing by 90 percent. 七、单词拼写(共l0小题，计10分) 根据下列句子及所给单词的首字母，在答题纸上按题号写出各单词的完全形式(每空限填一词)。 71. They spent so much m   _ buying a new flat that they didn't have any left over for a holiday. 72. September is the n         month of the year, after August and before October. 73. — Here's your coffee.    — T       you very much. 74. I'll show you my answers if you'll show me y         . 75. The children are always h      when they get home from school. They want something to eat. 76. Thousands of turtles(海龟) move onto the beach and l       their eggs in the sand. 77. I hate having to get up too e       in the morning. I always feel not having enough sleep. 78. Don't play with fire. It's far too d        . 79. I don't remember w         I have left my keys at home or in the car. 80. Nobody is q          sure how many bikes there are in Hangzhou. 八、书面表达(共1题，计15分) 假如你叫Liu Mei。前不久，你和来自英国的一位中学生Allen一起讨论了一个话题：the ways to learn English better。现请你根据他的观点和你自己的观点，用英语给你的外籍老师Mr Nunan写一篇关于这次讨论的汇报材料。 注意：1．开头和结尾部分已写好。       2．可适当增加谈论话题时经常用到的话语，使所写内容连贯。       3．所写内容必须包括上面表格中他的观点和你自己的至少三个观点。       4．词数：70个左右。 His ideas Your ideas 1. reading English newspapers 1. ... 2. talking with friends in English 2. ... 3. seeing English films 3. ...

二、听独白回答问题(共5小题，计10分) 听下面一段独白，并按独白的要求在试卷上完成任务。你可以边听边完成任务。然后你会看到5个问题和相关的选项。请从每个问题A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听独白前，你有25秒钟的时间阅读有关材料和5个小题，听完独白后，你有25秒钟的时间来选择有关选项。独白连读两遍。



Now boys and girls, let's begin our class. As I know, you are interested in some strange math problems. So today I'm going to tell you one of the strangest ways to multiply numbers of two or more figures. Maybe you don't know the word "multiply". The word "multiply" means "乘……, 乘法的乘" in Chinese. For example, 8 multiplied by 2 is 16. It means "8乘以2是16" in Chinese. Do you understand now? Of course, there are many ways to multiply numbers. But here is one of the strangest.



Imagine you wish to multiply 23 by 17. In Chinese, it means 23 乘以 17. Half of 23 is 11.5. Write only 11 under 23 as you see in the paper. Half of 11 is 5.5. Write only 5 under 11. Now think it over, what number will you write under 5? Yes, you are right, just 2. Now please write the number under 5. Continue until you have 1.



Now write numbers under 17. But this time you must multiply each number by two to write the number under it. For example, you should write 34 under 17. As a rule, what number will you write under 34? Yes, you are right, 68. Now please write the number under 34. Continue until you have a number on the same line as 1. Now draw a line through any row that has an even number on the left. Yes, even number means 偶数 in Chinese. In our example there is only one even number. Right? Now please draw a line through the line that has an even number on the left. Now add the rest of the numbers in the right-hand row. Believe it or not, you will get the right answer. What is it? OK. Please write the number, I mean the right answer in the right place.



Now class, I'll give you several minutes to discuss how it works.

    One possible version:



    Mr Nunan,



Recently I have had a discussion about the ways to learn English better with Allen, a student from Britain. In his opinion, the best ways are reading English newspapers and talking with friends. He also believes that sometimes seeing English films isn't a bad way.



I quite agree with him. However, I think, we can go surfing online, where we can find a lot of information in English to read. Besides, we can look for an e-pal from an English-speaking country so that we can get to know something about his or her country. Finally, learning English grammar well is also a great help.
