Advice评卷人得分三、阅读理解17CTaiwan police cannot decide whether to treat it as an extremely clever act of stealing or an even cleverer cheat（诈骗）.Either way, it could be a perfect crime（犯罪）, because the criminals are birds-homing pigeons.The crime begins with a telephone message to the owner of a stolen car: if you want the car back, pay some money. Then, the car owner is directed to a park, told where to find a bird cage and how to attach money to the neck of the pigeon inside. Carrying the money in a tiny bag, the pigeon flies off.There have been at least four such pigeon pick-ups in Changwa. What at first seemed like the work of a clever stay-at-home car thief, however, may in fact be the work of an even lazier and more inventive criminal mind- one that avoids（避免） not only collecting money but going out to steal the car in the first place. Police officer Chen says that the criminal probably has pulled a double trick: he gets money for things he cannot possibly return. Instead of stealing cars, he lets someone else do it and then waits for the car owner to place an ad in the newspaper asking for help.The theory is supportd by the fact that, so far,none of the stolen cars have been returned. Also, the amount of money demanded-under 3,000 Taiwanese dollars-seems too little for a car worth many times more.Demands for pigeon-delivered money stopped as soon as the press reported the story. And even if they start again, Chen holds little hope of catching the criminal. “We have more important things to do,”he said.66.After the car owner received a phone call, he _.A. went to a certain pigeon and put some money in the bag it carriedB. gave the money to the thief and had his car back in a parkC. sent some money to the thief by mailD.told the press about it67. The “lazier and more inventive”criminal refers to _.A.the car thief who stays at home B.one of those who put the ads in the paperC.one of the policemen in Changwa D. the owner of the pigeons68.The writer mentions the fact that “none of the stolen cars have been returned” to show _.A.how easily people get fooled by criminals B.what Chen thinks might be correct.C. the thief is extremely clever. D.the money paid is too little.69. The underlined word “they” in the last paragraph refers to _. A.criminals B. pigeons C. the stolen cars D.demands for money70. We may infer from the text that the criminal knows how to reach the car owners because _.A.he reads the ads in the newspaper B.he lives in the same neighborhoodC.he has seen the car owners in the parkD.he has trained the pigeons to follow them 18 B Barack Obama defeated John McCain in the longest and most costly presidential campaign in American history. The election results were widely seen as a strong statement by voters on economy. A public opinion study reported by the Wall Street Journal found that about sixty percent of voters considered the economy as the top issue. Mr. Obama faces the deepest economic crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. The Dow Jones Industrial Average of leading stocks has lost nearly thirty of its value. The government seized the nations two largest home financing panies, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. It also took control of the huge insurance pany, A. I. G. The government is now a share holder in nine of the countrys largest banks. That will expand to small banks , too. The amount spent on these rescue plans has been close to one trillion dollars. That amount could increase. Another problem the new administration faces is the budget deficit(赤字). Some experts predict the deficit for next years budget could be close to one trillion dollars. Some observers predict that the deficit will limit speeding in economic programs. Barack Obama has promised a tax cut for middle ine Americans. He is seeking fifty billion dollars in aid for states and job creation programs. Mr. Obama has put forward a health care reform plan that costs fifty to sixty-five billion dollars. Obama is also seeking to spend one hundred and fifty billion dollars on new energy technologies over the next ten years.

America tries to save the countrys economy D. how Americans think of the newly-elected president19 C Several years ago, I read a book Your Money or Your Life, written by Joe Domingguez and Vicki Robin. The major theme of the book is the idea that if you want to cut your spending, youll have to begin by stopping trying to impress other people. The authors divide people into two groups : people whose opinions you care about, and people whose opinions you dont care about one way or another. Its easy to stop caring about people whose opinions you dont care about. Who cares what they think ? As long as youre not doing something truly immoral something that might potentially create a negative reputation for you it doesnt matter what they think. But shouldnt you impress other people whose opinions you do care about ? Anyway, they are people you want to meet : customers, friends and family. The answer is that you dont need to impress those people with expensive, shiny things. The relationship youve built with them or youre going to build with them is based on you, not on the material items. Theyll either like you for you or they wont. To put it simply, take care of the basics. Keep yourself clean. Keep your weight under control. Wear reasonable clothing. Work on your munication skills. If you have them covered, you dont need to invest time and money in impressing other people. ing to this realization is incredibly valuable. It drops your clothing budget. It drops your automobile budget. It drops your electronics budget. It drops your housing budget. You dont need a shiny car, an iPhone, or a 50 haircut. Yes , you may actually still want one or two of these things, but the impetus(动力) es from what your personal values are, not what other people around you seem to value or what marketing messages you receive. For some people, it seems impossible. Their social cues e from advertising-laden media and from friends who also get their cues from advertising-laden media.They believe they need a slick cellphone and 100 casual clothes. Their self-worth revolves around that little burst they get from impressing others. People should learn to break through that situation. In short, dont play socially by the tiring old rules that revolve around needing to impress people. Instead, spend your time on things that bring real value to you and give real value to others.46. Which of the following behaviours is “immoral”according to the second paragraph ? A. Caring about other peoples opinion. B. Dropping your clothing budget. C. Copying existing works. D. Obeying the traffic rule.47. To build relationship with others, you should pay attention to the following EXEPT _. A. dressing casually B. learning about weight control C. improving munication skills D. being a tidy person48. As for people we care about, what does the author advise us to do ? A. To impress them in a proper way. B. To buy them special gifts. C. To spare more time to be with them. D. To impress them with shiny things.49. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage ? A. An iPhone is totally unnecessary in our life. B. Your family members opinions are always worth caring about. C. Learning how to impress others helps people save money. D. You should always be aware of what other people around you seem to value.50. What is the best title for the passage ? A. Whose opinions do you care about ? B. Two different groups of people. C. My favorite book : Your Money or Your Life D. Stop trying to impress other people.20 The sea has always interested man. From it he can get food, minerals, and treasure. For thousands of years, he could sail on it. But he could not go far beneath its surface. Man wants to explore deep into the sea. However, he is not a fish. He must breathe air, so he cant stay under the waters surface for any length of time. To explore deep water, man faces even more dangers and problems. A diver who wants to stay under water for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture of gases. He can wear a diving suit and have air pumped to him from above. He can carry a tank of air on his back and breathe through a hose(软管) and a mouthpiece. Water weighs 800 times as much as air. Tons of water pushes against a diver deep in the sea. His body is under great pressure. When a diver is under great pressure, his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes. As he rises to surface, the water pressure bees less. If the diver rises too quickly, the gases in his blood form bubbles(气泡). The diver is then suffering from the bends(潜函病). The bends can cause a diver to double up in pain. They can even kill him.60. On the whole, this text is about _. A. special mixtures of gases in deep sea. B. the problems a diver faces in deep sea. C. air pressure under the surface of sea water. D. a kind of illness that man suffers in the sea.61. The text does not say so, but it makes you think that _. A. deep-sea divers should be in good health. B. divers explore the deep sea only for treasure. C. there is a special mixture of gases under the sea. D. diving under the water too quickly causes a kind of illness.62. Why does a diver get the bends? A. The air in his blood is used up. B. His diving suit weighs too much. C. He es to the surface too quickly. D. He tries to do exercise under the sea.63. From the text we can learn that _. A. man cannot stay under water for more than a few minutes. B. the sea began to interest man in the last few years. C. all divers will get the bends sooner or later. D. the bends may kill a diver.21 In the future your automobile will run on water instead of gas! You will be able to buy a superputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car! For each prediction that has e true today, several others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didnt consider how people would want to use the technology, or if people really needed it in their lives or not. Lets look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past. Robot Helpers Wheres the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere, of course. And hes probably not ing anytime soon. Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other manufacturing environments. Back in the 1950s, however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most peoples homes. So why hasnt it happened? Probably because robots are still too expensive and clumsy. And maybe the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too weird. At home we seem to be doing fine without them. Telephones of Tomorrow In 1964 an American pany introduced the video telephone. They said by the year xx most people would have a video phone in their homes. But of course the idea hasnt caught on yet. Why? The technology worked fine, but it overlooked something obvious: peoples desire for privacy. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just step out of the shower? Probably not-it could be embarrassing! Just because a technology available doesnt always mean people will want to use it. And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? Its not so crazy anymore! But a flying car remains one of the most fascinating technology ideas to capture our imagination. Keep watching the news, or perhaps the sky outside your window, to see what the future will bring.64. The whole passage is mainly about _. A. predictions that have e true. B. predictions that havent e true. C. why predictions dont e true easily. D. what technology will bring about.65. The author of this passage wont believe that _. A. predictions neednt consider peoples practical use of technology. B. the future isnt always easy to guess. C. not all past predictions have e true. D. many of the hightech things our parents thought wed be using by now simply never appeared.66. The underlined word “weird” probably means _. A. wonderful B. stupid C. practical D. strange67. What does the author think of the flying car? A. It is too difficult to imagine. B. It is too crazy an idea. C. It is likely to be made. D. It is often reported in the news. 第II卷（非选择题）评卷人得分四、单词拼写22第 卷单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）1.最受旅客欢迎的旅游景点是埃菲尔铁塔。The most popular place for tourists is the Eiffel Tower, the famous _ of Paris.2. 这项指标显示了一些令人意外的情况。 The_ has some surprises.3. 平均来说，美国每年发生800次龙卷风，造成大约80人死亡、1500人受伤。On average, there are 800 tornadoes in the US each year, _ about 80deaths and 1500 injuries.4. 这座旧房子经历了这次地震还能留下来，这真是个奇迹。Its a wonder that the old house _ the earthquake.5. 沙尘暴几个世纪以来一直是亚洲一些国家的主要灾害。Sandstorms has been a _ disaster for many Asian countries for centuries.6. 他强调了仁爱、责任和社会秩序的重要性。He _ the importance of kindness, duty and order in society. 7. 诚实地说，我没办法相信他的故事。_ speaking, I cant believe
