In the year 1902,toy bears were named “Teddy” after the presidents nickname.The Teddy Bear became known worldwide,and is still known and loved today.It was only a few years later that the Teddy Bears were mass produced.In 1913,an item called the Erector Set was invented.It was a steel,motorized toy that children could use to build models of anything.Its creator was AC.Gilbert,a medical doctor.Charles Pajeau created a similar wooden set called Tinker Toys in the year 1914.Tinker Toys were made for younger children.Raggedy Ann dolls first came on the scene after newspaper cartoonist Johnny Gruelle reproduced the doll he made for his daughter.That was in 1915.The following year,an architects son named John Lloyd Wright,invented Lincoln Logs,which were interlocked to make structures.Two years after Mickey Mouse was created,stuffed(填塞)Mickey Mouse dolls were made by Charlotte Clark.This was the start of Disney merchandise.The yoyo became popular in the United States after Donald Duncan bought a yoyo company in 1929.The ViewMaster,a three dimensional viewer,was developed by a camera enthusiast named William Gruber.The toy became popular when Gruber licensed Disney characters to make still,3D images from Disney movies and television programs.Finally,in 1940,model airplanes were mass produced.They started out as a way for manufacturers to sell planes to the military,but later caught on as a toy.The toys that we know and love today have had their roots from these ancient times.Isnt it interesting to know that if it hadnt been for all these creative people,most of the games you know today would never have been?36Why were toy bears named “Teddy”?ATo be suitable for mass production.BTo be easily pronounced by children.CTo meet the advertisers needs.DTo memorize President Theodore Roosevelt.37In which aspect do the toys created by Gilbert differ from those by Charles?AShape. BMaterial used.CThemes. DPrice.38When did the ViewMaster become popular?AAfter William Gruber was born.BAfter Gruber licensed Disney characters.CTwo years after Mickey Mouse was created.DWhen Disney merchandise was started.39From the last paragraph we can learn that_.Athose people who created these games should never be forgottenBsome toys created in ancient times now disappearCcreativity exists in every field all the timeDtoys nowadays are totally different from those in ancient timesB“In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”“Two full inches in the first three days!”These are the kinds of statements used in magazine,newspaper,radio and television ads,promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device.The promoters of products say they can shape the legs,slim the face,smooth wrinkles,or in some other way to add to beauty or desirability.Often such products are nothing more than moneymaking things for their promoters.The results they produce are questionable,and some are dangerous to health.To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public,it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation.If the product is a drug,FDA(Food and Drug Administration)can require proof under the Food,Drug,and Cosmetic Act that is safe and effective before it is put on the market.But if the product is a device,FDA has no authority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness.If a product already on the market is a danger to health,FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily,or it can take legal action,including seizure(查封)of the product.One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor,which had been sold for reducing the waistline.The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads.FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.Obviously,most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings(法律诉讼),and new devices appear continually.Before buying,it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.40It can be inferred that the ads mentioned in the text are_.Aobjective BcostlyCunreliable Dillegal41.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?AThe court is in charge of removing dangerous products.BNew products are more likely to be questionable.CThe production of a device must be approved by FDA.DThe promoters usually just care about profits.42FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product_.Aif it is a drugBif it is a deviceCif its consumers make complaintsDif its distributors challenge FDAs authority43The Relaxacisor is mentioned as_.Aa product which was designed to produce electricityBa product whose distributor was involved in a legal caseCa successful advertisement of a beauty productDan example of a quality beauty productCChristopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that werent bad enough, he had no health insurance.After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided hed better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created , a free online community for diabetics and their loved onesa place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.Jason Swenckis son, Kody, was diagnosed with diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online childrens forums(论坛) together most evenings. “Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over,” says Swencki, one of the sites volunteers. “They know what hes going through, so he doesnt feel alone.”Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.These days, Thomass main focus is his charity(慈善机构), Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people225 to datewho cant afford a diabetics huge expenses. Fightit.org has raised about $ 23,000in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean.Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his fulltime job waiting tables. “Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure,” says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstars original members. “But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now.”44Which of the following is TRUE of Christopher Thomas?AHe needs to go to the doctor every day.BHe studies the leading cause of diabetes.CHe has a positive attitude to this disease.DHe encourages diabetics by writing articles.45D was created for _.Adiabetics to communicateBvolunteers to find jobsCchildren to amuse themselvesDrock stars to share resources46According to the text, Kody _.Afeels lonely because of his illnessBbenefits from Chelps create the online kids forumsDwrites childrens stories onlineDMotorists who used to listen to the radio or their favorite tunes on CDs may have a new way to entertain themselves, after engineers in Japan developed a musical road surface.A team from the Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute has built a number of “melody roads”, which use cars as tuning forks(音叉)to play music as they travel.The concept works by using grooves(凹槽)They are cut at very specific intervals in the road surface. The melody road uses the spaces between to create different notes.Depending on how far apart the grooves are, a car moving over them will produce a series of high or low notes, and designers are able to create a distinct tune.Patent documents for the design describe it as notches(刻痕)“formed in a road surface so as to play a melody without producing simple sound or rhythm and reproduce melodylike tones”There are three musical strips in central and northern Japanone of which plays the tune of a Japanese pop song. Reports say the system was invented by Shizuo Shinoda.He scraped some markings into a road with a bulldozer(推土机)before driving over them and found that they helped to produce all kinds of tones.The optimal speed for melody road is 44 kph,but people say it is not always easy to get the intended sound.“You need to keep the car windows closed to hear well,”wrote one Japanese blogger.“Driving too fast will sound like playing fast forward, while driving around 12 mph20 km/hhas a slowmotion effect, making you almost carsick.”47According to the passage,melody roads use_to create different notes.Acars BgroovesCspaces between intervals Dbulldozers48We can learn from the passage that the highness of notes is depended on_.Ahow far the grooves areBhow big the grooves areCthe number of the groovesDthe speed of the car49The underlined word “optimal” in the passage might mean_.Afastest BpossibleCbest Dsuitable50In order to hear the music well,you have to_.Adrive very fastBdrive slowlyCopen the windows wideDkeep the windows closed第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。The First AmericansThere was a time long ago when a land bridge connected Asia and North America. The first settlers in North America crossed this land bridge from what is now Sibria to Alaska. The people who made this initial crossing were probably following the animals they used for food.Eventually, the oceans rose and the land bridge between the continents disappeared. The settlers, who I shall call the “First Americans”,could not return to their homeland. _51_For the next few thousand years, the First Americans migrated south and east throughout North and South America. They made the journey all the way from Alaska to the southern tip of South America, a distance of more than 10,000 miles. _52_In the far north, above the Arctic Circle, the First Americans became hunters of the ocean._53_ In the brief summer, they gathered berries and other plants. In the winter, they stayed in lodges much of the time preparing for the next summer. It was a hard life, but they learned to survive in these harsh conditions.Farther south, in what is now Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico, the First Americans became cliff dwellers(悬崖居民). They began by living in caves that already existed in the cliffs._54_The dwellings they constructed in many ways resembled todays apartment buildings._55_They built a system of dams and canals so they could store and use water almost any time of the year. They were so successful that they could raise fruits and vegetables that were not found naturally in the desert.In Mexico and South America, the First Americans founded civilizations that were among the greatest in the world. They built huge pyramids, lived in fabulous cities, and made great advances in science and mathematics long before the Europeans arrived.AThey also discovered foods like corn and potatoes.BAlong the way, they established many different civilizations.CThe First Americans of the Southwest learned to irrigate the desert.DThey would have to survive in the New World they had discovered.EThey built boats of animal skins and hunted or fished for their food.FPeople living near each other tended to share similar environments and customs.GThey discovered how to add to the caves by building structures of wood and stone.第三部分写作(共两节,满分35分)第一节短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)假如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。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(),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.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;2.只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分。Though great progress have been made in science these years, there are still many people live in poor conditions. They make their lives by collecting or selling used things. Their children cannot go to school because they had not enough money to send their children there. How do you think so many people still suffer from poverty now? The answer lies on the population explosion. A president of a developing country once said, “It is us who are to blame for the poverty because we used to produce child without limit.” Although this few words sound simple enough, they have clear pointed out one of the causes of the population explosion.第二节书面表达(满分25分)You are supposed to write a composition on the topic Making Friends Selectively or Extensively.
