Grammar and VocabularySection ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank. (A)One day I heard two girls talking about making net friends in a caf. One said that she (25) _ (meet) one of her net friends and the other told her not to because most people found their net friends (26) _ (disappoint) in real life. We all know it is quite common now that many teenagers, especially (27) _ from one-child families, like to make net friends and spend lots of time chatting with them because they need someone to talk with and share their sorrow and happiness. However, is it wise for them to do so?In my opinion, it is possible for you to find some real good friends with the help of new technology but you (28) _ _ take care. When you talk with someone unknown on the Internet, you have no idea at all what kind of person he is and (29) _ he is telling you the truth. Besides we cant deny that some bad guys mask themselves very well so that they can get many nice people (30) _ (trap). So, youre taking the risk of meeting your net friends (31) _ you get any idea about him. In a word, you can never be too careful when meeting your net friends. (B)Perhaps one aspect of modern life which is most often considered annoying is noise. According to some estimates, the amount of urban noise (32) _ (double) in the past ten years, and with the increase in road and air traffic, noise is likely to increase too. Noise quite clearly affects the health of modern man. It is a health threat. Loud noise (33) _ (say) to be a leading cause of deafness among many people over 65. It is also a major (34) _ (contribute) factor in causing stress, (35) _ itself causes a variety of illnesses.Noise is sometimes associated with lack of communication in the modern world. In many busy shops, factories and nightclubs, (36) _ level and constancy of noise make conversation at a natural level difficult or impossible. Certain people in society, such as motorcyclists, seem to believe they have a right (37) _ (make) as much noise as they like without being fined. Do they?We are so trained to noise in this modern world (38) _ people growing up with little (39) _ no experience of genuine peace and quiet have begun to associate silence with boredom. Isnt it time for us to start teaching young people that silence is golden and that you can do a lot of interesting things (40) _ the accompaniment of noise?Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. accurateB. alteration C. average D. calculates E. conceal F. enormouslyG. initialH. intervalsI. merelyJ. multiplyK. predictionBeyond two or three days, the worlds best weather forecasts are based on guesswork, and beyond six or seven they are worthless. The Butterfly Effect is the reason. For small pieces of weather and to a global forecaster, small can mean thunderstorms and snowstorms any _41_ fails rapidly. Errors and uncertainties _42_, gathering upward through a chain of unstable features, from dust devils (尘旋风) and windstorms up to continent-size eddies (旋风) _43_ satellites can see.The modern weather models work with a network of points of the order of sixty miles apart, and even so, some _44_ data has to be guessed, since ground stations and satellites cannot see everywhere. But suppose the earth could be covered with sensors spaced one foot apart, rising at one-foot _45_ all the way to the top of the atmosphere. Suppose every sensor gives perfectly _46_ readings of temperature, pressure, dampness, and any other quantity a meteorologist (气象工作者) would want. Exactly at noon a(n) _47_ powerful computer takes all the data and _48_ what will happen at each point at 12.01, then 12.02, then 12.03 The computer will still be unable to predict whether Princeton, New Jersey, will have sun or rain on a day one month away. At noon the spaces between the sensors will _49_ alterations that the computer will not know about, tiny variations from the _50_. By 12.01, those alterations will already have created small errors one foot away. Soon the errors will have multiplied to the ten-foot scale, and so on up to the size of the globe.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Ecotourism is a combination of ecology (the study of systems of living things) and tourism. It is _51_ “responsible travel to natural areas that preserves the environment and improves the welfare of the local people” by the International Ecotourism Society. Actually, ecotourism can mean travel to far-off places of great natural beauty, but not always in a(n) _52_ way. Its a big business, and the attraction of money can cause people to think about _53_ first. While ecotourism offers benefits to people and ecosystems, it leaves ecosystems open to negative effects, too.Costa Rica, once a Spanish colony, and independent since 1821, has an ecotourism industry worth over one billion dollars yearly, and thousands of jobs have been _54_. Nearly 21 percent of the land is now protected national parks, _55_ thanks to ecotourism. Nevertheless, due to the number of people visiting the countrys natural places, some damage to the ecosystem has occurred.While _56_ can have a negative impact on ecosystems, the same areas might have been _57_ by industries such as farming, logging, or mining if there were no ecotourism industry. Shelters (庇护所) have been created _58_, keeping the ecosystem protected. And, by visiting beautiful rainforests and seeing rare animals, visitors get a sense of their _59_, and of gratitude for them. Tour guides can also be educators who train people to love and care for the environment. Visitors can take these _60_ with them to their home countries. Unfortunately, while their effect may not be _61_ in the off-season, the constant parade of visitors in the high season can be damaging. At one national park in Costa Rica, wild monkeys now feed on garbage left by the tourists. _62_, ecotourists tend to seek out places with the rarest animals and plants, _63_ the most delicate living things.It is easy to be critical of the ecotourism industry, but it is important to be _64_ as well. Ecotourism can never be “pure”. We cant expect zero negative effects on the ecosystem. It is also _65_ to suppose that humans wont go anywhere accessible to them. If protection efforts are maintained and increased, those remaining places of undisturbed nature may be stressed, but they wont be destroyed. 51.A. defined asB. made up ofC. applied toD. combined with52.A. attractive B. naturalC. differentD. responsible53.A. effectsB. natureC. profitsD. economy54.A. lostB. created C. abandonedD. shifted55.A. mainlyB. comparativelyC. unfortunatelyD. barely56.A. touristsB. environmentC. manufacturersD. politics57.A. fertilizedB. destroyedC. reservedD. stimulated58.A. equallyB. regularlyC. insteadD. though59.A. freedomB. hardnessC. welfareD. value60.A. ecosystemsB. lessonsC. animalsD. trainers61.A. uncertainB. noticeableC. healthyD. special62.A.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)When I was young, it wasnt the parental love that filled my thoughts in the spring. It was baseball. I loved everything about the game the crack of a bat, the excitement of chasing a ground ball across short green grass, even watching the games on our old black-and-white TV. Yet looking back now, nothing was quite as important to me as the annual ritual (老规矩) of playing catch with my dad.Dad was never much of a baseball fan, but as green leaves began to shoot on bare branches and warmth returned to the air, he would grab his old mitt (棒球手套) and head out to the yard with me just the same. There was something beneficial about playing catch with him, the hum of the ball as it sailed through the air, and the friendly pop as it hit the leather netting. We may have been 50 feet apart, but the flight of that ball connected us, forming as strong a relationship as any father-son talk ever could have. I was never the star of my Little League team, yet Dad never cared about that. Every year, he would be out there, waiting to field any false throw I sent his way. As I grew older, I realized that our game was a reflection of our relationship that even if a problem didnt involve a glove and a ball, Dad would always be there to handle anything I threw in his direction. His devotion to our springtime ritual showed his devotion to me not only to my love of baseballl but also to my life. Ive often heard it said that “the devil is in the details.” Now I realize that in my relationship with my father, love was in the details. 66.When the author was young, he didnt care much about _.

In its original sense, however, culture includes all identifying aspects of a racial group, nation, or empire: its physical environment, history, and traditions, its social rules and economic structure, and its religious beliefs and arts.The central beliefs and customs of a group are handed down from one generation to another. It is for this reason that most people regard culture as learned rather than innate. People acquire a culture because they are not born with one. The process by which a person develops a taste for regional foods, accented speech, or an outlook on the world over time, therefore, is known as enculturation (文化适应).Cultures are often identified by their symbols images that are familiar and coated with meaning. Totem poles (图腾柱) carved with animals and creative figures suggest aspects of the Native American peoples of the Pa
