I was pretty shocked when I first stepped into the campus. Well, its not even really a campus. Its more like a district in a small town. Harvards main buildings are from the 18th century. They look very old and simple. You might even say theyre a little shabby. They dont fit the modern idea of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by grass and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a medieval castle. But when I looked across the street, busy shops and in-fashion students made me feel like I were in the 21st century again. It creates a strong contrast and brings a special atmosphere to the school. Our tour guide Gary took us around and told us, You see this grass field in the center of the school? Here is where they host their graduation ceremony. They just set up tents and benches and have a very simple ceremony. Unbelievable! Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the lawn? I saw some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft sound of turning pages, along with the chirping (鸟叫声) of the birds, I felt very calm. There was no petitive feeling at all. Harvard has the worlds first puter in its science center and there are hundreds of high-end puters, too. Its religion and the literature departments are also among the best. It is the perfect mix of tradition and new technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive place to study in. I hope one day Ill attend my dream school-Harvard.21. The passage is mainly about _.A. the authors campus life at Harvard B. old buildings at HarvardC. the academic system of Harvard D. the authors impression of Harvard 22. According to the passage, the author was most impressed by _.A. the classes held on beautiful lawns at Harvard B. Harvards mix of tradition and new technologyC. Harvard students not taking their graduation ceremony seriouslyD. the feeling of not living in modern society on the campus23. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Graduation ceremonies are not plex at Harvard.B. There are no petitions at Harvard University.C. Harvard campus is actually a district of a big city.D. All Harvard buildings date back to the 18th century.BFor several years, Americans have enjoyed tele-shopping-watching TV and buying things by phone. Now tele-shopping is starting in Europe. In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.Tele-shopping is being popular in Sweden, for example. The biggest Swedish pany sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two tele-shopping channels, and the French spend about $ 20 million a year to buy things through these channels.In Germany, until last year tele-shopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed more tele-shopping. Other channels can open for tele-business, including the largest American tele-shopping pany and a 24 hour tele-shopping pany. German businessmen are hoping this new tele-shopping will help them sell more things. Some people like tele-shopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason. But at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They call tele-shopping junk (垃圾) on the air. Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV. The need for high quality means that European tele-shopping panies will have to be different from the American panies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.24. People like tele-shopping because it is _. A. American B. cheaper C. more popular D. more convenient 25. Some Europeans dont like tele-shopping because they _.A. dont like to buy things B. think the things sold on TV are of bad qualityC. believe the things sold on TV are expensiveD. seldom watch TV 26. In Germany, teleshopping may _. A. keep the shops open longer B. help businessmen get more money C. have fewer buyers D. bring better TV programs27. The best title of this passage is _. A. American Tele-shopping B. Tele-shopping panies C. Tele-shopping in Europe D. Tele-shopping-Junk on the AirC Internet dating has bee one of the biggest and most successful businesses on the Internet. Basically, Internet dating is a way to meet people for either friendship or dating without actually having to meet them in person first. The first thing to do if you decide to try Internet dating is to build your profile(简介), which includes your hobbies, hopes for the future and so on. A photograph is optional, but many sites claim that a photograph increases the number of people who look at your profile. Many Internet dating sites will charge a one-time registration fee to use their services. Internet dating makes it possible to meet people from all over the world. You can even narrow the search down to your area by zip code(邮政编码). Another advantage is that you can municate by email before you meet in person. Thousands of people have met, fallen in love, and married through Internet dating. It is an excellent way for shy people to meet. It is also a way for people with busy lives to connect with others, and an easy way to meet people who share your interests. Just as conventional dating and love, there are some pitfalls(陷阱) to be aware of in Internet dating. The person you have been talking to on the net may not be who they say they are. Be very aware that there are some people who misrepresent their appearance or private details, such as marital status (婚姻状况), ine and so on, for their own reasons. It would not be the first time that someone has been taken in, and talk shows are full of cheating partners who have been caught dating over the Internet in their spare time. Nevertheless, taking a few simple precautions(预防措施) should help ensure that your Internet dating is safe.28. In order to make Internet dating possible, you should first _. A. build a profile B. meet people from all over the world C. take a photo D. have a talk with other people29. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. You need a face-to-face meeting at first. B. Its a good way for all people to find their lovers. C. You can find people sharing interests with you. D. Internet dating doesnt make a difference to people.30. What will be talked about following the last paragraph? A. How to make a date with others. B. Introducing yourself carefully. C. Safety measures. D. Writing down your love story.31. Which of the following can be used as the title of the passage? A. Internet dating sites B. Internet dating C. Warnings against Internet dating D. Steps of Internet datingD The most famous collections of fairy tales are the ones by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm. The Grimms published their first fairy-tale collection in 1812. They didnt think they were writing for children. They thought they were preserving disappearing German folk culture. Their first edition was a scholarly book that carefully recorded the oral tales. They were surprised when some of their early readers suggested that the stories might be interesting to children. But the Grimms needed money. They had made a bad deal with their publisher and received little payment for their first book. At one point Wilhelm plained there wasnt a chair in his house one could sit on without worrying it would break. So he took the hint and set to work to make a book that would be suitable for children. He selected a few of the tales, made them much longer, and polished up the language. He didnt add morals, but he did slip in character judgments and moralizing ments wherever he could. The Grimms fairy tales also have one characteristic that would seem to make them unsuitable for children. Many of them include violent incidents. In Hansel and Gretel, a child is eaten by a wolf. When he revised the tales for children, Wilhelm Grimm kept the violence. In fact, he sometimes even ramped it up. For example, in the first edition of the tales, Cinderella forgives her sisters in the end. Its only in the second edition, the one intended for children, that her birds peck out(啄出) their eyes. Why, then, have the Grimms fairy tales bee classic of childrens literature, so much so that it is hard to imagine a child who doesnt know Cinderellas story or Snow Whites? One answer is that only a few of the tales survived into modern times. The first edition of the Grimms fairy tales had 210 tales. By 1825 it was down to 50. And today only a dozen or so of the tales are often reprinted in childrens collections. But the deeper answer is that the tales that have lasted are magical adventures that help children deal with the struggles and fears of their everyday lives.32. Why did Wilhelm Grimm set out to adapt his book for children? A. To deal with readers plaints. B. To improve his financial situation. C. At the request of his publisher. D. To preserve the ancient stories in print.33. What does the underlined expression ramped it up in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. started B. allowed C. classified D. increased34. Which of the following statements about the Grimms fairy tales is TRUE according to the passage? A. They were originally intended to be childrens stories.B. Generally speaking, the tales that have endured can help children deal with the challenges life brings to them. C. A large number of the tales made it to the modern age. D. They are less violent than the childrens stories being written today.35. When revising the fairy tales, Wilhelm did all of the following EXCEPT _. A. add character judgments B. make the tales much longer C. delete the violent scenes D. polish up the language第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。 What is a hero? Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people. A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a munity who will listen. 36 Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers(变压器), heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people. 37 Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom they serve. 38 If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant? 39 They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. 40 Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the mittee meetings endless. A. Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. B. Heroes are very powerful in their life. C. They create new possibilities. D. The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. E. Where are they going to live? F. But a hero goes beyond mere fame. G. What are they willing to live and die for?第三部分：语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第1节 ：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的（A、B、C、D）四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Weeks ago, I received an email from someone saying that he felt that I wronged him with something I did.
