In February of 1974, Bill Tapp, an Australian farmer, saw a rain of fish that covered his farm.How surprised he must have been! What caused this strange occurrence? This is a question that had long puzzled people who study fish. The answer turned out to be a bination of wind and storm When it is spring in the northern part of the world, it is fall in Australia. Throughout the autumn season, terrible storms arise and rains flood the land. The strong winds sweep over Australia like huge vacuum cleaners (吸尘器), collecting seaweed, pieces of wood, and even schools of fish. Strong winds may carry these bits of nature for many miles before vacuum dropping them on fields, houses, and astonished people Although they seem unusual, fish-falls occur frequently in Australia. When Bill Tapp was asked to describe the scene of fish, he remarked, “They look like millions of dead birds falling down. ” His statement is not surprising. The wonders of the natural world are as mon as rain. Nature, with its infinite wonders, can create waterfalls that flow upward and fish that fall out of the sky 56 What could be the feelings of Bill Tapp the moment he saw the rain of fish?A. excited B scared C calm D amazed57Fish-falls occur in Australia _ A. quite often B. on large farms C. only in winter D when the air is calm58The word “infinite” is closest in meaning to _ A easy B. difficult C. countless D dangerous59 What might be the reasons of the rain of fish?A.

The damage done by floods BI was waiting for a phone call from my agent. He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didnt care about my work, and he didnt care about me. I was overe with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?” At that time I didnt realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!” And she swept it into the wastebasket I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth ? She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!” Then she turned to me, kissed me and said calmly, “Honey, you just have to learn how to take control. ” With that, she left the room After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood had changed. I was laughing. How could I have trouble with that phone? Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly 61 We can infer from the passage that _ A. the secretary didnt care about the writer B. the writer was bad-tempered C. the agent was not responsible for his own workD. the wife of the writer was not sensible62 Why did the author shout at the telephone?A.

One is alcohol. Many fans drink a lot at games. When people drink, they are more likely to do abnormal things. Psychologist Dennis Brock says, “Quiet people bee loud. Normally nonviolent people bee destructive ”David Sampson, a sports sociologist, says, “These are often celebratory riots a large number of very happy people mixed in with large amounts of alcohol. They dont often seem dangerous in the beginning, but things get violent quickly ”Another reason for violence at sports events is the crowd. When individuals are in a large group of people, they can lose their sense of personal responsibility. Edward Hirt, a social Psychologist, says that research shows that people do things in crowds that they would never do alone. People in crowds feel anonymous no one knows who they are. Crowds also make people feel powerful. They stop making personal decisions. They just follow the crowd. Social psychologists call this a “mob mentality”Dave Zarifis, head of public safety says, “Some people dont even e to celebrate. They want to drink hard and make trouble. Someone does something stupid, and it grows from there. You get a mob mentality. People think its OK to do almost anything. They think, There are so many of us and not enough of them ”Social psychologist Dr. Sharon Kennedy says that there are some things officials can do to prevent violence. Making sure that an area is not overcrowded is very important. Officials should also think of games as “big parties” Then they will prepare differently. Kennedy says that in Great Britain they are controlling the problem with cameras in all the stadiums. “When you know someone is watching, you are much less likely to behave badly ”66 Which of the following best gives the main idea of the first two paragraphs? A. Theres a connection between violence and sportsB. One cause of violence at sports events is alcohol C. There are many reasons for violence at sports events D. David Sampson and Dennis Brock have the same opinion 67 Which of the following does NOT belong to a “mob mentality”?A“I must drink some alcohol to stop myself feeling shy ”B“ Its safe to do what many people are doing ”C. “There are so many of us and not enough of them ”D“ No one knows Im doing this ”68 How many experts are quoted by the writer of this passage?A Two B Four C Three D Five 69 The last paragraph is mainly about _ A. how to turn games into big partiesB. why to install cameras in stadiumsC. how to prevent violence at sports events D. how to avoid oneself behaving badly 70 What lesson can we learn from this passage?A Never drink any alcohol no matter where you are B Whenever you are watching a game, you should keep quiet C Never follow blindly no matter how many people are doing something D Be careful when you are at a stadium because there are cameras there DI keep hammering this because I keep seeing people who dont do it1Look up English to Elvish2Look up the Elvish word in the best Elvish dictionary you have, and, preferably, find out the context in Tolkiens language dictionary3Change the word to suit rules of grammar: singular or plural, mutations, verb tenses, etcYou cannot leave out any of these stepsIf you do, youre almost certain to have errorsWhy you have to do step 2:Languages never match up one- to-oneEnglish and Elvish are closer than usual, but there are still problemsAnd English has strange idioms: why are there no baths or beds in public bathrooms or restrooms? You cant translate literallyYou have to understand the meaning behind each wordIn Elvish this is even more true, since our dictionaries contain more or less questionable reconstructions, and words that Tolkien later threw away or replacedFind the best one you canConsider the word “fair”We tend to use it to mean “just”Tolkien tends to use it to mean “beautiful”In Elvish, these are two entirely different wordsSo when you look up “fair”, youll have to go to the Elvish dictionary to see that youve got the right oneConsider the nightmare of He left the barIs “left” the opposite of “right” （which also has two meanings） ? Is “bar” extruded steel（型材钢）, or something to do with law? You have to know what words mean in both languagesAnd youd be amazed at how many people ignore step 3, forgetting that language is more than a string of words, and there are rules about how to fit those words togetherYou cant simply look up the word “I” and use it everywhereSometimes you need “me” or “my”Theres a reason it takes a while to learn a language: you have to learn the rulesIt drives me pletely mad when people give a questionable translation they insist is right because “its in the dictionary”A dictionary is a tool, a resourcebut its entries（词目）should not be mistaken for a finished productThey are raw materials71The underlined word “this” in paragraph 1 refers to Aconsulting the dictionaries when translating between languagesBfinding out the true meaning in contextCignoring the rules of grammarDleaving out some of the three steps the author mentions72According to the author, you have to do step 2 because Ayou have to understand the meaning behind each wordBElvish and English are quite different in formsCthere are no baths or beds in public bathroomsDElvish has some words which are hard to find73Grammar is also very important because it Ahelps fit the words together Btakes a while to learn a languageCis a rule to obeyDis often forgotten in translating74In the last paragraph, the author shows Ahis impatience to those who insist their wrong translation is rightBhis puzzle to the questionable translationCthe importance of the correct use of dictionariesDthe mistaken entries in the dictionaries75The passage is mainly about how to Alearn a foreign language with a dictionaryBavoid errors when looking up a dictionaryCunderstand the meaning of a strange wordDuse a dictionary to translate between languages第II卷（共45分）第四部分 书面表达第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意字数要求）。1Some people believe that greed and selfishness has bee the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and munity, then we will have a better lifeDo you agree or disagree with the above opinion?2In this fast-paced world, many values are changingWhile people traditionally put caring, sharing and generosity in life and work in the first place, modern people seem to be more concerned about themselves3Modern people act selfishly to survive the rough petition of lifeThey say that it is a jungle out thereTo survive, you have to fight with whatever means that e handyObviously greedy and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideasIn a pany, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleaguesWe are in any way advocating any selfish conductIt is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences4In spite of mon practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on _, both of which are not newly invented vocabularyIn ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned thenBut we can not ignore
