Most students are always being told by their parents to study harder so that they can have successful future. Although this may be good advice for those students who are very bright, it can have very bad results for many students who are not quick enough at learning.Unfortunately, a number of students actually kill themselves. Others are after fort in using drugs. Some students, however, do bad things with groups of bad people and turn to crime（犯罪）. Many of them have failed in certain examinations and have disappointed their parents. Such students feel that they are less important than everyone else they meet and leave school before they have finished their study.It is surprising that although most Japanese parents are anxious for their children to do well at school, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are unable to help their children with their lessons and that it is the teachers job to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to special schools called juku-cram school. These schools are open during the evening and on weekends, and their only purpose is to prepare students to pass exams; they do not try to educate students in any real sense of the world. It thus es as a shock to realize that almost three quarters of the junior high school population attend these cram schools.Ordinary Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the length of students hair to their clothes and things in their schoolbags. Child psychologists（心理学家）now think that such strict rules often lead to a feeling of being unsafe and being unable to fit into society. They regard the rules as being harmful to the development of each student. They believe that no sense of moral values is developed and that students are given neither guidance nor training in being good citizens.39. According to the passage, a lot of Japanese students unhappy at school because.A. they work very hard B. they find they cant do well at school C. they feel unimportant D. they are under too much pressure40.

It can be inferred from the passage that strict rules make students feels_.A. harmful B. useless C. doubtful D. worriedCProof is rising that drinking tea can prevent cell damage that leads to cancer, heart disease and perhaps other ills, scientists said.It may soon be time to add tea to the list of fruits and vegetables that experts advise Americans to eat as often as possible to reduce their risk of disease, the researchers told a meeting hosted by the US Department of Agriculture(USDA), the Tea Council, the American Cancer Society and other groups.“In some respect, it is good to think of it as a plant food,”Jeffrey Blumberg, a nutritionist（营养学家） at Tufts University in Boston, told a news conference. Blumberg said that tea is full of physiochemical that can act as antioxidants（抗氧化剂）. Such pounds work against the damage done to DNA cells by free radicals（基） produced by sunlight, chemicals ,many foods and simply the stress of dayto-day living.Damaged DNA is the first step to cancer, and is also related to heart disease. Vitamins such as A and C are antioxidants, but so are pounds such as catechins（儿茶素）found in tea.“Its taken about 30 years for us to fully understand the importance of these pounds.”Blumberg, who acts as an adviser to both the Us Food and Drug Administration and the Tea Council said.The USDA reported on a study suggesting that tea-drinking can also reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering cholesterol（胆固醇）.43. Why may tea reduce risk of cancer and heart disease according to the passage?A. Because tea is very popular with the worldB. Because tea is a kind of plant food.C. Because tea contains Vitamin A and C as well as the catechins.D. Because tea contains healthy DNA cells.44.

Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Drinking tea can kill the damaged DNA cells.B. If a person keeps drinking tea, he or she will never suffer heart disease.C. Scientists didnt understand the importance of antioxidants until 30 years ago.D. Antioxidants can prevent DNA cells from being damaged.DWe have known for some time that college students ing from Japan and Taiwan to study in the United States do better than their American peers（同龄人）in mathematics and science. These general impressions of Asian Superiority（优势） in mathematics and science were proved by studies that were made in the late 1960s and early 1970s.In these studies, the average score of American kindergarteners was below those in Japan. In first grade the difference increased, and by fifth grade it was very large, Moreover, 60 fifth-grade classes in Japan, Taiwan and the United states were pared in mathematics. The average score of the highest scoring American classroom was below that of all the Japanese classrooms and all but one of the Chinese classrooms.Why is this so? Are the Asian students born smarter? A series of studies in 1986 and 1987 raised these questions, and their findings seem to point the American and Asian school systems have certain features in mon. But the differences are striking. Test Scores on nationwide examinations determine entry into high school and college in Japan and Taiwan, but not in the United States. Career paths too are more closely linked to educational achievements in Japan and Taiwan. As a result, far more pressure is given to even very young children to study hard and succeed in school in both Japan and Taiwan than those in the United States.There are also striking differences in classroom instruction. By fifth grade, for example, the Us children were observed to spend an average of only 19.6 hours per week in academic activities in parison with the Taiwanese and Japanese children of 40.4 and 32.6 hours per week respectively. What is more ,the US children spent less of their academic time on mathematics .By fifth grade ,the US classrooms averaged 3.4 hours per week on mathematics pared to 11.4 hours in Taiwan and 7.6 hours in Japan .46. The primary purpose of this passage is to .A. show Asian superiority in mathematics and science to the American students .B. pare the American educational practices with those of Asians C. warn the American government of the educational problems D. criticize the American educational system .47.why do Asian students in the US do better in mathematics and science than their America peers ?A. Because Americans are less interested in mathematics and science than Asians .B. Because Asian students are cleverer than the American children .C. Because Asian students spend more time in academic activities .D. The reason is not mentioned in the passage .48. which of the following is NOT one of the differences between the American and the Asian school ?A. Entrance into high school does not depend on test scores of national exams in the US.B. Academic achievements are more closely related to jobhunting in Asian countries .C. Children start kindergarten earlier in Asian countries than in the united states .D. Asian students pay more attention to classroom activities .49. According to the passage ,it can be concluded that A. the mathematics gap between American and Asian student was first discovered in the late 1960s B. Japanese kindergarteners were the best among those from America , Japan and Taiwan C. The average score of the Chinese classrooms was similar to that of American ones D. Differences of the school system explained Asian superiority in mathematics reasonably .50. the best title of this passage is A. Asian Superiority in Mathematics B. Reasons for the Mathematics Gap C. Striking Differences of School System D. Importance of Kindergarten education EHow could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments mostly for entertainment purposes is fair and respectful ?Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However , most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things”rather than protective habitats(栖息地) .zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored ，lonely ,and far from their natural homes .Zoos claim（声称） to educate people and save endangered species（物种） , but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals natural behavior ,intelligence ,or beauty .Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages ,and most signs only mention the species name ,diet ,and natural range（分布区） .The animals normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos dont usually take care of the animals natural needs .The animals are kept together in small spaces ,with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise .This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis .A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is mon among animals kept in small spaces or cages .Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time walking back and forth ,a sign of unhappiness and pain .Furthermore most animals in zoos are not endangered Captive breeding of endangered big cats ,Asian elephant ,and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild .zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out .In fact ,baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers .Havent we seen enough petitions to name baby animals ?Actually ,we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them .Instead of supporting zoos ,we should support groups that work to protect animals nature habitats .51. How would the author describe the animals life in zoos?A. Dangerous B. Unhappy C Natural D Easy 52. in the state of zoochosis ,animals .A. remain B behave strangely C attack other animals D enjoy moving around 53.What does the author try to argue in the passage ?A.

The author tries to persuade to accept his argument mainly by .A. pointing out the faults in what zoos do B. using evidence he has collected at zoos C. questioning the way animals are protected D. discussing the advantages of natural habitats 55. Although he argues against zoos ,the author would still agree that A zoos have to keep animals in small cages B. most animals in zoos are endangered species C. some endangered animals are reproduced in zoos D. its acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats .第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：短文改错 （每小题1分。满分10分）Japan is a beautiful country ,covering with many 56 tiny rivers and high mountains .Japan is also a pleased 57 country .It is known for the land of the cherry blossom58 because of in the spring of year the cherry trees 59 are so beautiful .The Japanese like gardens very much 60 where are no natural gardens ,the Japanese 61 has made their own .because the islands are hilly62 there is a great lack of the soil ,so every little bit 63 is used .no matter how tiny may be ,every home has 64 his own little garden .Japan is a country worth visiting . 65 第二节：书面表达（满分25分）有一批要到中国投资的外国企业家在我国某城市参观考察。假定你是接待人员，要向外宾们简要介绍这个城市的概况。请你用英语写一篇100-120词的发言稿，须包括以下内容：1 这是一座新兴的现代化城市，建于20世纪80年代初。2 海、陆、空交通便利，又有一条与首都北京相连的高速公路（freeway）3 自然资源丰富，电力及其他能源供应充足。4 公共秩序（the public order ）良好。政府多方面支持外国投资者(investor)注意 短文开头已写出，不计入总词数。Ladies and Gentlemen ,Wele to our city , Now let me introduce 第一部分：英语知识运用. 单项填空1. 选C 2. 选B这道题力图体现高考命题综合化原则，考查的知识点包括非谓语动词，时态和语态
