Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,” hed told his wife. “Ill look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom.” Things started well, but just after eight oclock, his three little “good kids”Mike, Randy, and Alexcame down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alexs head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat(节拍). Mike chanted “Wheres my toast, wheres my toast,” in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds. Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randys underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started. By ten oclock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible. At exactly11:17, Brad called the daycare centre(日托所). “I suddenly have to go into work and my wifes away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes? ” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.56. When his wife left home, Brad expected to _.A. go out for a walk in the parkB. watch TV talk show with his childrenC. enjoy his first day off workD. read the newspaper to his children57. Which of the following did Randy do?A. Drew on the wall. B. Ate apple jam.C. Fed the fish. D. Read in a room.58. Who is “Not Me”(underlined in Para.3)?A. One of the familys neighborB. The father C. One of the three kidsD. The text doesnt mention59. Why did Brad ask the daycare centre for help?A. Because he wanted to clean up his houseB. Because he suddenly had to go to his office.C. Because he found it hard to manage his boys.D. Because he had to take his wife back home.60. This text is developed _.A. by space B. by comparison C. by process D. by time BOne night recently, I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour. A car approached from the opposite direction at about the same speed. As we passed each other, I caught the other drivers eye for only a second. I wondered whether he might be thinking, as I was, how dependent we were on each other at that moment. I was relying on him not to fall asleep, not to be put off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end. Though we had never spoken a word to each other, he relied on me in just the same way .Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world works. At some level, we all depend upon one another. Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. And sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively, with friends or even with strangers.As technology shrinks our world, the need increases for cooperative action among nations. In 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus, which saved thousands of lives. The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring coordinated action by police and intelligence forces across the world. We must recognize that our fates (命运) are not ours alone to control . In my own life, Ive put great stock in personal responsibility. But, as the years have passed, Ive also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others. so, while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road , what we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat , but a shared moment of trust .61. The author considers very important.A. driving alone on a dark road B. independence of people C. cooperation to identify SARS virus D. shared trust and cooperation 62. The author said that they depended on each other in the same way because .A. the approaching car was very dangerous B. they both drove their car at a terrific speed C. he might be killed out of the others careless driving D. it was dark and the road was not wide enough 63. From the second paragraph, we know the author drew the important lesson from .A. only one experience B. many similar experiencesC. a driver on a dark road D. many friends and strangers CFive years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict.” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clotheskhaki pants and a sports shirtto the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I am working harder than ever.” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday（but only on Friday）.This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that its easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code.” “A lot of young people dont want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so its hard to hire people if you have a conservative（保守的）dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale（心境，士气）. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”66David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,” because .A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtB. he couldnt stand a clean appearanceC. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the timeD. he didnt want to spend much money on clothes67. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because .A. they make him feel at ease when working B. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes C. he looks handsome in casual clothes D. he no longer works for any company 68According to this passage, which of the following statements is FALSE?AMany employees dont like a conservative dress code.BComfortable clothes make employees more productive.CA casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.DAll the employers in the U. S. are for casual office wear.69According to this passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?ACompany workers started to dress down about fifty years ago.BDress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 90s.C“Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.DMany workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.70In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT . Asaving employees moneyBmaking employees more attractiveCimproving employees motivationDmaking employees happierDMalaria, the worlds most widespread parasitic(寄生虫引起的) disease, kills as many as threemillion people every yearalmost all of whom are under five, very poor, and African. In most years, more than five hundred million cases of illness result from the disease, although exact numbers are difficult to assess because many people dont (or cant) seek care. It is not unusual for a family earning less than two hundred dollars a year to spend a quarter of its income on malaria treatment, and what they often get no longer works. In countries like Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Gambia, no family, village, hospital, or workplace can remain unaffected for long. Malaria starts suddenly, with violent chills, which are soon followed by an intense fever and, often, headaches. As the parasites multiply, they take over the entire body. Malaria parasites live by eating the red blood cells they infect. They can also attach themselves to blood vessels in the brain. If it doesnt kill you, malaria can happen again and again for years. The disease passed on to humans by female mosquitoes infected with one of four species of parasite. Together, the mosquito and the parasite are the most deadly couple in the history of the earthand one of the most successful. Malaria has five thousand genes, and its ability to change rapidly to defend itself and resist new drugs has made it nearly impossible to control. Studies show that mosquitoes are passing on the virus more frequently, and there are more outbreaks in cities with large populations. Some of the diseases spread is due to global warming. For decades, the first-choice treatment for malaria parasites in Africa has been chloroquine, a chemical which is very cheap and easy to make. Unfortunately, in most parts of the world, malaria parasites have become resistant to it. Successful alternatives that help prevent resistance are already available, but they have been in short supply and are very expensive. If these drugs should fail, nobody knows what would come next.71. According to paragraph 1, many people dont seek care because_.A. they can remain unaffected for long B. it is unusual to seek careC. they are too poor D. there are too many people suffering from the disease72. People suffering from malaria_.A. have to kill female mosquitoes B. have ability to defend parasitesC. have their red blood cells infected D. have sudden fever, followed by chills73. Which of the following may be the reason for the wide spread of the disease?A. Its outbreaks in cities with large populations. B. Its ability to pass on the virus frequently.C. Its resistance to global warming. D. Its ability to defend itself and resist new drugs.74. It can be inferred from the passage that_.A. no drugs have been found to treat the diseaseB. the alternative treatment is not easily available to most peopleC. malaria has developed its ability to resist parasitesD. nobody knows what will be the drug to treat the disease第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节 阅读表达（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写在横线上（请注意问题后的词数要求）1Everyone wants something in life, love, money, success and so on.
