I lived in Rome during the third century. That was long, long ago! At that time, Rome was ruled by an emperor named Claudius. I didnt like Emperor Claudius, and I wasnt the only one! A lot of people shared my feelings.Claudius wanted to have a big army. He expected men to volunteer to join. Many men just did not want to fight in wars. They did not want to leave their wives and families. As you might have guessed, not many men signed up. This made Claudius furious. So what happened? He had a crazy idea. He thought that if men were not married, they would not mind joining the army. So Claudius decided not to allow any more marriages. Young people thought his new law was cruel. I thought it was preposterous! I certainly wasnt going to support that law!Did I mention that I was a priest (牧师)? One of my favourite activities was to marry couples. Even after Emperor Claudius passed his law, I kept on performing marriage ceremonies secretly, of course. It was really quite exciting. Imagine a small candlelit room with only the bride and groom and myself. We would whisper the words of the ceremony, listening all the while for the steps of soldiers. One night, we did hear footsteps. It was scary! Thank goodness the couple I was marrying escaped in time. I was caught. I was thrown in jail and told that my punishment was death.I tried to stay cheerful. And do you know what? Wonderful things happened. Many young people came to the jail to visit me. They threw flowers and notes up to my window. They wanted me to know that they, too, believed in love.On the day I was to die, February 14, 269 AD. I left my friend a little note thanking a girl, who helped me keep my spirits up, for her friendship and loyalty. I signed it, “Love from your Valentine.”41Valentine was put in prison because _.A. he secretly got marriedB. he attracted the emperorC. he didnt serve in the armyD. he helped young people get married secretly42Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Many young people visited Valentine after his arresting.B. It was Valentine that decided not to allow any more marriages.C. Valentine was excited about helping youths to get married secretly.D. Valentine was arrested, and sentenced to death.43The passage mainly tells us about _.A. how Valentine diedB. the Emperor of RomeC. the origin of Valentines DayD. how Valentines Day is celebrated BFull of beauty, happiness and a healthy love of life, the Bulgarian (保加利亚人的) festivals and customs date back to old time when man tried to live in peace with nature. The merriest and richest festivals are Christmas and the New Year, when the socalled “sourvakari” makes the round of house with wishes for health and wealth. Other main festivals include “ladouvane” a holiday for young girls on New Years Day or Midsummer Day (24th June), Shrovetide and Mummers Games which mark the start of spring, and “lazrouvane” a traditional festival for love and family, health and richness.And among them, the widely popular and typical Bulgarian customs and festivals are “martenitsas” and rosepicking.Every year on March 1st, the Bulgarians give each other “martenitsas” a small doll made of white and red strings, a symbol of the beginning of spring, health and happiness.In late May and early June every year, the rosepicking season starts in the Valley of Roses which is between the Balkan Range and the Sredna Gora Mountains. Rosepicking starts at dawn, before sunrise and before the pleasant smell of the rose has disappeared. The Bulgarian rose produces 70 percent of the worlds rose oil which is used by the very wellknown perfume (香水) company as a basic element of its products. This is the time of the Festival of Roses, celebrated with carnivals, happy activities, folk songs and dances in Karlovo and Kazanluk on the first Sunday in June.44The passage is mainly about _.AChristmas and the New Year in BulgariaBthe origin of Bulgarian festivals and customsCrosepicking and perfume industry in BulgariaDtypical customs and festivals of Bulgaria45The author of this passage intends to _.A. let us know some knowledge of Bulgarian cultureBtell us the differences between customs and festivalsCexplain the connection between customs and industryDfind the origin of the Bulgarian customs46This passage is most likely to appear in a _.Amagazine of travel Bbook on world cultureChistory book Ddaily newspaper CWhat we eat, when we eat or how we eat is usually considered to be an everyday eating habit. Good eating habits are very important for our health. Most of us would rather eat sweets and ice-cream than meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of a meal. But we should also know that if we eat them before a meal, they will spoil (损伤) our appetite (胃口). It is a good habit for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our body needs a good supply. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. A long time ago, in England some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If he could not swallow (吞下) the bread, it was a sign that he wasnt telling the truth. He was telling lies. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry. Because he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.47. Why do we have to develop good eating habits? Because _ . A. we want to eat more B. we want to enjoy our meals C. we want to be healthy and strong D. we want to save time48. It is good to eat sweets and ice-cream _. A. when we are hungry B. when we want to C. after the meal D. before the meal49. Wed better have our meals _. A. when our work is over B. at the same time each day C. when the food is still hot D. when every one of the family is home50. In the opinion of the judges in old England, if a man tells lies, he will _. A. swallow dry bread easily B. swallow dry bread with difficulty C. eat a lot of dry bread D. drink milk or wine51. A man who is angry has _. A. a good appetite B. a poor appetite C. a liking for ice-cream D. a strong desire to drink some cold water D It would be hard to argue that there is anyone more powerful in Hollywood today than Steven Spielberg. Since his first major success Jaws in 1975, he has made one hit movie after another. These include the wildly popular series Indiana Jones, Jaws and ET.Those films are fun and lighthearted. But Steven Spielberg has also made serious films that were well received by critics (评论家) and movie audiences alike. The movie Saving Private Ryan is a good example.

His father was an electrical engineer. Steven started making movies while he was growing up. He required his family and friends to pay twentyfive cents to see his films when they were completed. Steven Spielberg said this experience led him to produce the film Super Eight. It tells about a group of teenagers who join together to make a movie and uncover a mystery in the process.Steven Spielberg is one of the top directors in the film industry and also has many fans in China. When asked about the secret of his success, Steven Spielberg said that he owes much of his success and happiness to his wife and children. He met Cate Capshaw, who is an actress, when he was working on one of his films. After that it still took seven years before they finally got married. The couple has seven children in all.52What can we learn about the film Jaws?AIt failed to attract public interest.BIt was regarded as a serious film.CIt was made after Indiana Jones.DIt was made by Steven Spielberg at 29.53Whats the similarity between Saving Private Ryan and Schindlers List?AThey are both humorous.BThey were released at the same time.CThey both happen during World War Two.DThey are both traditional American movies.54According to the text, Steven, Spielberg _.Alived a poor life when he was youngBbelieved hard work led to his successChas got seven children in totalDhad musical parents55The underlined words “this experience” in Paragraph 4 refer to the experience of _.Ayoung Steven Spielbergs lifeByoung Steven Spielbergs making filmsCSteven Spielbergs achieving successDSteven Spielbergs living with his family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。(涂在答题卡71-75处)Doctors in the United States say babies began learning on their first day of life.Research scientists at the institute note that babies are strongly influenced by their environment.They say a baby will smile if his mother does something the baby likes.56 This is how babies learn to connect and communicate with other human beings at the beginning of their life.57 They say newborn babies can recognize and understand sounds they heard while they were still developing in their mothers.The study shows that babies can learn before they are born.First of all,the researchers placed a tape recorder on the stomach of a pregnant woman.58On the day the baby was born,the researchers attempted to find if he knew the sounds of the story repeated while in his mother.5960 But if the baby moved his mouth the other way,he would hear a different story.The researchers say the baby clearly liked the story he heard before he was born.They say the baby would move his mouth so he could hear the story again and again.A.
