He was taller and stronger than anyone you have ever seen. On his shoulder he carried a club and in his hand he held a bow (弓). He was known as the hero of a hundred adventures.Hercules served a king. The king was afraid of him. So again and again he sent him on difficult tasks. One morning the king sent for him and told him to fetch three golden apples for him from the garden of the Singing Maidens (歌女). But no one knew where the garden was.So Hercules went away. He walked the whole day and the next day and the next. He walked for months before he saw mountains far in the distance one fine morning. One of the mountains was in the shape of a man, with long, long legs and arms and huge shoulders and a huge head. He was holding up the sky. Hercules knew it was Atlas, the Mountain God. So he asked him for help.Atlas answered, My head and arms and shoulders all ache. Could you hold up the sky while I fetch the golden apples for you?Hercules climbed the mountain and shouldered the sky. Soon the sky grew very heavy. When finally Atlas came back with three golden apples, he said, Well, you are going to carry the mountain for ever. Im going to see the king with the apples. Hercules knew that he couldnt fight him because of the sky on his back. So he shouted:Just one minutes help. My shoulders are hurting. Hold the sky for a minute while I make a cushion (垫子) for my shoulders.Atlas believed him. He threw down the apples and held up the sky.Hercules picked up the apples and ran back to see the king.16 Hercules was the tallest man in the worldA RightB WrongC Not mentioned17 Hercules worked in the kings gardenA RightB WrongC Not mentioned18 Hercules was given many difficult tasks because the king wanted to get rid of him.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned19 Atlas was the giant who held up the sky.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned20 Atlas ran faster than HerculesA RightB WrongC Not mentioned21 Atlas got the golden apples for Hercules because he wanted to be the king himself.A RightB WrongC Not mentioned22 Hercules finally managed to get the apples by defeating AtlasA RightB WrongC Not mentioned第3部分：概括大意与完成句子 (第2330题，每题1分，共8分)阅读下面这篇短文后有2项测试任务：(1)第2326题要求从所给的6个选取项中为第25段选择1个正确的小标题;(2)第2730题材要求从所给的6个选项中选择4个正确选项，分别完成每个句子。请将答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。Local Newspapers in Britain1. Britain has a large circulation (发行量) of the national newspapers. The Daily Mirror and The Daily Express both sell about 4 million copies each day. On average, every family will buy one newspaper in the morning, and take two or three on Sundays.2. Local newspapers are just as popular as the national ones in Britain. Local papers have a weekly circulation of 13 million. Nearly every town and country area has its own paper, and almost every local paper is financially holding its own. Many local newspapers are earning good profits.3. Local newspapers have their special characteristics. They mainly satisfy interest in local events - births, weddings, deaths, council meetings, and sports. Editors often rely on a small staff of people who know the district well. Clubs and churches in the neighborhood regularly supply these papers with much local news. Local news does not get out of date as quickly as national news. If there is no room for it in this weeks edition, a news item can be held over until the following week.4. The editor of a local newspaper never forgets that the success of any newspaper depends on advertising. For this reason, he is keen to keep the good will of local businessmen. If the newspaper sells well with carefully chosen news items to attract local readers, the businessmen will be grateful to the paper for the opportunity of keeping their products in the public eye.5. Local newspapers seldom comment on problems of national importance, and editors rarely take sides on political questions. But they can often provide service to the community in expressing public feeling on local issues. A newspaper can sometimes persuade the council to take action to improve transport, provide better shopping facilities, and preserve local monuments and places of interest.23 Paragraph 2.24 Paragraph 3.25 Paragraph 4.26 Paragraph 5.A Keeping Good Relations with Local BusinessmenB Service Provided by Local NewspapersC Large Circulation of the National NewspapersD Special Features of Local NewspapersE Power of Local NewspapersF Popularity of Local Newspapers27 British people have the habit of reading newspapers in the.28 Many local newspapers in Britain are making.29 Local newspapers are well received because they carry articles that please.30 Local newspapers rarely give opinions on.A a lot of moneyB local peopleC morningD local peopleE national issuesF local issues第4部分：阅读理解(第3145题，每题3分，共45分)下面有3篇短文，每篇幅短文后有5道题，每题材后面有4个选项。请仔细阅读短文并根据短文回答其后面的问题，从4个选项中选择一个最佳答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。第一篇Weight on and off the EarthWe are so used to our life on the surface of the earth that it can be quite an effort for our mind to break free of all the ideas that we take for granted. Because we can feel that things are heavy, we think of weight as being a fixed quality in an object, but it is not really fixed at all. If you could take a one-pound packet of butter 4, 000 miles out from the earth, it would weigh only a quarter of a pound.Why would things weigh only a quarter as much as they do at the surface of the earth if we took them 4,000 miles out into space? The reason is this: All objects have a natural attraction for all other objects; this is called gravitational attraction. But this power of attraction between two objects gets weaker as they get farther apart. When the butter was at the surface of the earth, it was 4,000 miles from the center. When we took the butter 4,000 miles out, it was 8,000 from the center, which is twice the distance. If you double the distance between two objects, their gravitational attraction decreases two times two. If you treble the distance, it gets nine times weaker (three times three) and so on.So this is one of the first things we need to remember: that the weight of an object in space is not the same as its weight on the surface of the earth.What about the weight of our pound of butter on the surface of the moon? At the distance the pull of the earth is about 4,000 times smaller than it is here on the surface, so we can forget all about the earth-pull on our butter.On the other hand, on the moon there will be an attraction between the butter and the moon: but the butter will weigh only about one-sixth as much as it does on the earth. This is because the moon is so much smaller than the earth. The amount of gravitational pull that a body produces depends on the amount of material in it. A packet of butter has a gravitational pull of its own; but this is very small in relation to the pull of something as large as the moon, or the earth, or the sun.31 How much would four pounds of tea weigh if it was taken 4,000 miles out from the surface of the earth?A I pound.B 2 pounds.C 3 pounds,D 4 pounds.32 We find it hard to break free from ideas connected with living on the earth becauseA it demands too great an effort for us to do so.B we are too familiar with the way things are to question the ideas.C we have proved that those ideas are correct.D we are so sure of ourselves that we never doubt anything on the earth.33 According to the passage, weight should be understood in the sense thatA it is fixed if it is outside the earths gravitational pull.B it decreases four times when it is 4,000 miles from the earths center.C it varies with the change of the gravitational attraction between twoobjects.D things increase in amount as they are closer to the earths surface.34 We do not feel the gravitational pull of a packet of butter becauseA it is too small to have a gravitational pull of its own.B its pull is so small that we tend to ignore it.C its pull disappears in the presence of the earths gravitation.D it tends to melt and loses its gravitational pull.35 The main idea of this passage isA different weight systems in different placesB freedom from traditional ideas.C traveling from the earth to the moon.D the effect of gravitation on weight.第二篇Lifetime Employment in Japanese CompaniesIn most large Japanese companies, there is a policy of lifetime employment. What this means is that when people leave school or university to join an enterprise, they can expect to remain with that organization until they retire. In effect, the employee gets job security for life, and can only be fired for serious mistakes in work. Even in times of business recession, he or she is free from the fear of being laid off.One result of this practice is that the Japanese worker identifies closely with his company and feels strong loyalty to it. By working hard for the company, he believes he is safeguarding his own future. It is not surprising that devotion to ones company is considered a great virtue in Japan. A man is often prepared to put his firms interests before those of his immediate family.The job security guaranteed by this system influences the way employees approach their work. They tend to think in terms of what they can achieve throughout their career. This is because they are not judged on how they are performing during a short period of time. They can afford to take a longer perspective than their Western counterparts.This marriage between the employee and the company - the consequence of lifetime employment - may explain why Japanese workers seem positively to love the products their company is producing and why they are willing to stay on after work, for little overtime pay, to participate in earnest discussions about the quality control of their products.36 Lifetime employment in the Japanese company means that the employeeA leaves his company only when business is bad.B gets a job soon after he leaves school or university.C can work there throughout his career.D can have his serious mistakes in work corrected.37 Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A Family and company interests are equally importantB The Japanese worker is very loyal to his company.C Ones future is guaranteed through hard work.D Devotion to ones company is encouraged.38 Lifetime employment influences onesA achievements at work.B performance at work.C career options.D attitude toward work.39 The Japanese worker is fond of his companys products because ofA his marriage with the daughter of the president.B the close link between him and his company.C his willingness to work overtime,D his active participation in quality control.40 he passage mainly discussesA how lifetime employment works in Japan.B what benefits lifetime employment has brought to Japanese workersC what lifetime employment is.D how lifetime employment is viewed.第三篇VolcanoesThere are thousands of volcanoes (火山) all over the world. What makes volcanoes? What happens?The inside of the earth is very hot. Because it is very, very hot, the rock has melted like ice. It has become liquid, like water. It is always boiling, like water in a kettle. If you have seen a kettle boiling, you know that the steam and boiling water try to get out. The very hot melted rock inside the earth also tries to get out. Usually it cannot because the outside of the earth is too thick and strong.But in some places the outside of the earth is thin and weak. Sometimes a crack appears. The hot melted rock, which we call lava (熔岩), pushes out through the crack and bursts through. Steam and gas shoot up into the air and the hot melted lava pours out. Big pieces of rock may be thrown high into the air.After a while the volcano becomes quiet again. The melted lava becomes hard. Later the same thing happens again and again. Each time more hot lava pours out on top of the cold lava and then becomes hard. In this way a kind of mountain is built up, with a hole down the middle. Perhaps the volcano will then be quiet. Perhaps it will start again hundreds of years later.Vesuvius is the name of a very famous volcano in Italy. It first came to life many, many years ago. It was quiet for hundreds of years. Then in the year 79 it suddenly burst. A great cloud of smoke shot up into the sky with great burning rocks. Hot lava poured down its sides. About 3,000 people were killed.This has happened again many times since that year. Sometimes no damage was caused, or only little damage. But there was serious damage in the years 472, 1631, 1794, 1861, 1872 and 1906. You can see that a volcano can stay alive for many years. There was also serious damage in 1914 but there has not been any since that year.41 According to the passage, a volcano sends outA boiling water.B boiled water.C melted rock.D melted ice.42 Lava bursts out where there isA a crack in the earth.B a mountain by the sea.C a big fire.D steam and gas.43 When lava cools, it becomesA liquid.B water.C smoke.D hard.44 According to the passage, Vesuvius has caused serious damageA six times.B seven times.C eight times.D nine times.45 The phrase stay alive in the last paragraph can best be replaced byA burst out.B remain active.C come to life.D throw out lava.第5部分：补全短文 (第4650题，每题2分，共10分)阅读下面的短文，文章中有5处空白，文章后面有6组文字，请根据文章的内容选择5组文字，将其分别放回文章原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。请将答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。How to Do Well in ExamsDo not underestimate the power of revision in the days and hours before an examination. The closer you are to the exam, the more chance you have of storing and retaining crucial information. But do not overdo it(46). An effective daily routine can help you through an exam period, so in the days leading up to your first exam, get into the habit of being up and ready to work by game. It can be a shock to the system after months of working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for it.On the day of the exam, have a good breakfast, pack two of everything you need (pens, pencils, erasers, etc.), then make your way to the examination hall in good time(47).Once in your seat, simply pause for a few seconds and collect your thoughts. Close your eyes and take in a few slow, deep breaths to help you relax. When you turn over the test paper, spend a short period reading through all the instructions and questions, paying particular attention to key verbs such as discuss, compare and evaluate.(48). It is wise always to allow for 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to go back over your answers. Once you have selected the questions you wish to tackle, begin by attempting the one you think is your strongest. It will give you more confidence when you see a well-answered question down on paper. Also remember to write clearly, and do not be afraid to express the unexpected: after all, examiners can get very bored marking stereotypical answers.(49). If you do need something else to focus on to help collect your thoughts, choose a fixture in the room, such as the ceiling - or anything else that will not allow you to be distracted.Finally, once you have finished, never hang around outside afterwards to attend the discussion by other students(50).A Do not arrive too early, though, as other peoples anxiety can be contagious, and you may suffer from undue panicB Try not to be tempted to look at those around you, or at the clock.C When you get home, read the examination paper through and look up al the words you didnt understandD Sleep, exercise and relaxation are all just as importantE Map out a quick plan of points you wish to make and how much time you should spend on each questionF Go and have a well-earned rest- then prepare for your next exam第6部分：完形填空(第5165题，每题1分，共15分)阅读下面的短文，文中有15处空白，每处空白给出4个选项，请根据短文的内容从4个选项中选择1个最佳答案，涂在答题卡相应的位置上。GDP & GNPGovernments all over the world make public reports about the condition of their economies. Most countries, including the United States, have used a measure(51) the gross national product or GNP. It includes all,(52) and services produced by citizens of the country anywhere in the world.Recently the American Commerce Department has started using a new(53) to measure production. It is known as the gross domestic product or GDP. It counts only goods and services that have been produced(54) the nations borders.

The new measure is(61) likely to be affected by sudden changes in foreign oil prices or in the(62) of the American dollar in other countries.
