Business people, foreigners and families alike are making good use of the growing industry.The first car rental firm opened in Shanghai in 1992 and now 12 car rental players are in the game, with more than 11,500 cars in their books.The largest Player-Shanghai Bashi Tourism Car Rental Center Offers a wide variety of choices-deluxe sedans, minivan, station wagons, coaches. Santana sedans are the big favorite.Firms can attract enough customers for 70 percent of their cars every month. This figure shoots up during holiday seasons like National Day, Labor Day and New Years Day, with some recording 100 percent rental.The major market force rests in the growing Population of white-collar employees (白领雇员工),who can afford the new service, said Zhuang Yu, marketing manager of Shanghai Angel Car Rental Co.56. The words “deluxe sedans, minivans and station wagons used in the text refer to A. cars in the making B. bar rental firms.C. cars for rent D. car makers57. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. 70% of the cars can be rented out on holiday B. 70% of the customers are white-collar employees.C. More firms are open for service during holiday seasons.D. Some firms rent out all their cars during holiday seasons.58.Shanghais car rental industry is growing so fast mainly due to -,A. better cars supplied by producersB. fast service offered by car rental firmsC. the increasing number of white-collar employees.D. peoples growing interest in travelling during holidays B If you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like “Shakespeare,” “Samuel Johnson,” and “Webster,” but none of these men had any effect at all pared to a man who didnt even speak English-William the Conqueror.Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups. In the west central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.But this state of affairs did not last. In l066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of Eng-land while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of Politics and the law e from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction (区别) between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more foreign than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one mans ambition.59. The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before l066 were A. Welsh and Scottish B. Nordic and GermanicC. Celtic and Old English. D. Anglo-Saxon and Germanic60. Which of the following groups of words are, by inference, rooted in French?A. president, Lawyer, beef B. president, bread, waterC. bread, field, sheep D. folk, field, cow61.Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe?A. Most advertisements in France appear in English.B. They know little of the history of the English language.C. Many French words are similar to English ones.D. They know French better than German.62. What is the subject discussed in the text?A. The history of Great Britain.B. The similarity between English and French.C. The rule of England by William the Conqueror.D. The French influences on the English language.C Too much TV-watching can harm childrens ability to learn and even reduce their chances of getting a college degree, new studies suggest in the latest effort to examine the effects of television on children. One of the studies looked at nearly 400 northern California third-graders. Those with TVs in their bedrooms scored about eight points lower on math and language arts tests than children without bedrooms TVs. A second study, looking at nearly 1,000 grown-ups in New Zealand, found lower education levels among 26-year-olds who had watched lots of TV during childhood. But the results dont prove that TV is the cause and dont rule out that already poorly motivated youngsters(年轻人)may watch lots of TV. Their study measured the TV habits of 26-year-olds between ages 5 and 15. Those with college degrees had watched an average of less than two hours of TV per weeknight during childhood, pared with an average of more than 2 hours for those who had no education beyond high school. In the California study, children with TVs in their rooms but no puter at home scored the lowest, while those with no bedroom TV but who had home puters scored the highest. While this study does not prove that bedroom TV sets caused the lower scores, it adds to accumulating findings that children shouldnt have TVs in their bedrooms.63. According to the California study, the low-scoring group might_.A. have watched a lot of TVB. not be interested in mathC. be unable to go to collegeD. have had puters in their bedrooms64.What is the researchers understanding of the New Zealand study results?A. Poorly motivated 26-year-olds watch more TV.B. Habits of TV watching reduce learning interest.C. TV watching leads to lower education levels of the 15-year-olds.D. The connection between TV and education levels is difficult to explain.65. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A. More time should be spent on puters.B. Children should be forbidden from watching TV.C. TV sets shouldnt be allowed in childrens bedrooms.D. Further studies on high-achieving students should be done.66. What would be the best title for this text?A. puters or TelevisionB. Effects of Television on ChildrenC. Studies on TV and College EducationD. Television and Childrens Learning Habits D It was a village in India. The people were poor . However, they were not unhappy. After all , their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries. Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived . They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frogs legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing . There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them . Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time ,the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didnt last long.The change was hardly noticed at first ,but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often ,and ,there seemed to be more insects around lately.The villagers decided that they couldnt just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides （杀虫剂）and medicines. Soon there was no money left .Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog .They hadnt been useless. They had been doing an important job-eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed , the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now, the people are still poor .But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.67. From Paragraph 1 we learn that the villagers .

Happiness es from peaceful life in the country. B. Health is more important than money.C. The harmony between man and nature is important.D. Good old days will never be forgotten.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。Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain SharpEveryone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bitand that can be a very annoying thing. 71 Read on for some techniques worth trying.1. 72_People who regularly made plans and looked forward to uping events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimers disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study. 来源_73_Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do.
