He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there were no units for measuring（测量）power.Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He called that unit one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3,300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3,300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute.Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horsepower engine. 6.The passagesays that Watt made the first widely used steam engine.A.TB.F答案：A7.Watt made up a unit of measurement based on the strength of a horse.A.TB.F答案：A8.Watt wanted to find a way to lift a 3300-pound weight.A.TB.F答案：B9.One horsepower would equal the weight a horse could lift.A.TB.F答案：B10.The title of the passageis How the Term Horsepower Came into Being.A.TB.F答案：AWhat makes a person a scientist? (是什么使一个人成为科学家？) Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is “no”. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientists knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, and Einsteins ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.11.What makes a scientist according to the passage? _A.The tools he uses.B.The way he uses his tools.C.His ways of learning.D.The various tools he uses.答案：B12.The underlined part in the passage shows_.A.the importance of informationB.the importance of thinkingC.the difference between scientists and ordinary peopleD.the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs答案：C13.A sound scientific theory should be one that _.A.works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other timesB.does not allow any changes even under different conditionsC.can be used for many purposesD.leaves no room for improvement答案：A14.The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate _.A.that measurements are keys to success in scienceB.that accuracy of mathematicsC.that investigations are important in scienceD.that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations答案：C15.What is the main idea of the passage? _A.The theory of relativity.B.Exactness is the core of science.C.Scientists are different from ordinary people.D.Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist.答案：D三、词汇与语法16.When Laura finally arrived she apologized _ so late.A.for to comeB.that she was comingC.for comingD.to come答案：C17.Samuel Clemens, _ as Mark Twain, was one of the most famous American writers.A.to knowB.to be knownC.knownD.knowing答案：C18.She is not only my classmate _ also my good friend.A.orB.butC.andD.too答案：B19.Tom is so talkative.

The employees became even more concerned during Susans first months on the job. Mr. Cleveland had been a _21_ leader. But Susan permitted many employees to make their own _22_.

How did you feel? The doctors in Childrens Hospital are asking for money for childrens toys. Some children in the hospital must stay in bed for many weeks. Toys are needed to keep the sick children happy and quiet. Money for them can be sent to the hospital. After Mrs. Weeks read the story，she said，This story gave me an idea. You want us to bring some money for the toys. We could bring some of our own toys for the children in the hospital, said the boys and the girls one after another. Well, your ideas would be nice, Mrs. Weeks said， but mine is different. We could make some toys, shouted one of them. Mrs. Weeks smiled. Do you think you could make toys? she asked. Yes, yes, the whole class answered. Great! Lets begin to make toys tomorrow, said Mrs. Weeks. On Saturday afternoon，Mrs. Weeks took the children to the hospital with the toys made by her students. The children in the hospital felt very happy to see the toys. So did the children in the class. A few days later，Mrs. Weeks read another newspaper story to the class: Some school pupils brought toys to Childrens Hospital last week. The toys were made by the pupils of Grade Three in Green Street School. The doctors said，We have never had so many wonderful toys. Our children are very happy with them. They say，THANK YOU，GRADE THREE. (1)、The first newspaper story was mainly about sick children in childrens Hospital.

A：T B：F答案： A2、 Places to stay in Britain are as varied as the places you visit. 在英国，住的地方随着你游览地点的不同而有所区别。 Whatever your budget is the choice -from basic barn to small hotel, from tiny cottage to grand castle - is all part of fun.Hostels Cheap, good-value hostels are aimed at all types of like-minded travelers, who prefer value over luxury and you dont have to be young or single to use them. Britains independent hostels and backpackers hostels also offer a great welcome. Facilities and prices vary, especially in rural areas, where some hostels are a little more than a bunkhouse (临时住房) while others are remarkably comfortable almost like bargain hotels.Youth Hotels Founded many years ago to help all, especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside, the Youth Hotels Association is still going strong in the 21st century. The network of 230 hotels is a perfect gateway for exploring Britains towns and countryside.B&Bs The B&B (bed and breakfast) is a Great British institution, In essence you get a room in somebodys house, and small B&Bs may only have one guest room, so youll really feel like part of the family. Larger B&Bs may have four or five rooms and more facilities, but just as warm as a welcome. In country areas your B&B might be in a village or an isolated farm surrounded by fields. Prices reflect facilities: and usually run from around 12 to 20 per person. City B&Bs charge about 25 to 30 per person, although theyre often cheaper as you go further out to the suburbs.Pubs & Inns As well as selling drinks and meals, Britains pubs and inns sometimes offer B&B, particularly in country areas. Staying a night or two can be great fun and puts you at the heart of the local community. Rates range from around 15 to 25 per person. Pubs are more likely to have single rooms.(1)、In this passage the author mainly _.

A：was B：were C：is D：are答案： C 四、完型填空 It seems quite clearly unjust to pay two people different amounts of money for doing the same work. 对做同样工作的两个人支付不同的报酬，这看上去很不公平。 But it is not as easy as it appeals at first _1_ to introduce equal pay for equal work. Two people may be working side by side in a factory and doing the same work, but one may be doing it twice as fast as the _2_; or one may be making no mistakes, while the other is making a lot. In some kinds of work, one can solve the problem of speed if one pays by the amount of work to be done and not by the hour: work paid for in this _3_ is called piece-work. But it is not always possible to do this, so it is sometimes useful to pay workers at different rates, which take differences in skill into _4_. This usually means that the younger and therefore less experienced worker gets less than the _5_ and more experienced one, which seems reasonable enough.(1)、 A：other B：sight C：older D：way E：account答案： B(2)、 A：other B：sight C：older D：way E：account答案： A(3)、 A：other B：sight C：older D：way E：account答案： D(4)、 A：other B：sight C：older D：way E：account答案： E(5)、 A：other B：sight C：older D：way E：account答案： C 五、英译汉(1)、John and his brother differ in personality even if their differences in age are not significant. 尽管约翰和他哥哥在年纪上相差不大，但他们的个性却不相同。(2)、We are getting ready for our English examination. 我们正在为英语考试做准备。(3)、We must take some measures to control the pollution. 我们必须采取措施来控制污染。(4)、Youll find in English some words can be remembered more easily than the others. 你会发现英语里有些词比别的词容易记忆。(5)、Theres a party at my house this Friday. 这星期五在我们家有个宴会。(6)、I need to buy some 50-cent stamps. 我需要买一些50美分的邮票。 六、写作Instructions:建议你在30分钟内，根据下面所给的题目和提纲用英语写出一篇不少于80词的短文。（1）简单介绍中国新年即春节；（2）你最喜欢的新年庆祝活动。The Chinese New Year “New Year” is a time for good cheer.
