He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries. When he was seventy five, he gave $ 60,000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a childrens ground.As a result of his kindness, he became famous. Many people came to visit him. Among them was a newspaperman. During their talk, Johnson remarked that he was seventy-five and expected to live to be hundred. The newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at seventy-five. Johnson had a sense of humor. He liked whisky and drank some each day. “I have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening,” he told the newspaperman, thinking of his evening glass of whisky.The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson meant. In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was seventy-five and had daily injection in his neck. Within a week Johnson received thousands of letters from all over Britain, asking him for the secret of his daily injection.41. Johnson became a rich man through _.A. doing business B. making whisky C. cheating D. buying and selling land42. Many people wrote to Johnson to find out _.A. what kind of whisky he had B. how to live longerC. how to bee wealthy D. in which part of the neck to have an injection43. When Johnson said he had an injection in his neck each evening, he really meant that _.A. he liked drinking a glass of whisky in the eveningB. he neednt an injection in the neckC. a daily injection in the evening would make him sleep wellD. there was something wrong with his neck BAlthough puters used to be large, expensive and difficult to use, they have been made smaller,cheaper and easier to use. As a result, more people have been buying puters for their homes and businesses. They are used to record information and make difficult things easy.Lets look at some of the many ways puters may affect(影响) your life.Want to get the best treatment at hospitals? Your doctors at hospitals have been greatly helped by puters to get information about patients. It is possible for doctors from different hospitals to read the records of patients, discuss them and make decisions on the best treatment. It would, at one time, take them hours and days to do so.Want to talk to your friends both at home and abroad? Then its necessary to connect your puter to the Internet and set up your own e-mail letter box. You can then collect and send mails in seconds. It will be a waste of time and money to post your letters.Want to get advice from Michael Jordan on how to play basketball like a NBA super star? Now it is possible to find out what it is on the Internet.But if you think you have entered the information age because you have the chance to use the Internet, you are wrong. The reason is quite a simple one:over 98 percent of the information on the Internet is in English. The information on-line wont be helpful to you unless you can use English freely.44. According to the writer, puters in the past were _. A. small B. easy to use C. cheap D. expensive45. Doctors at hospitals use puters for all the following except _. A. get information about patients B. make decisions on the best treatment C. talk to their friends at home and abroad D. read the records of patients46. In the fourth paragraph, the writer suggests we should _. A. use the Internet to send and receive e-mails B. put up a letter box in front of the house C. go to the post office to post letters D. all of the above47. The Chinese meaning of the underlined word “treatment” in the third paragraph is _. A. 治疗 B. 对待 C. 药品 D. 病房CDo dogs understand us?Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩).In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 mands right. As the dog couldnt see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before. The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive. Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months. Its hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they cant talk back. Still, it wouldnt hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!48. From paragraph 2 we know that _ .A. animals are as clever as human beings B. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzees C. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills D. dogs have similar learning abilities as 3-year-old children49. Both experiments show that . A. Rico is smart enough to get all mands right B. Rico can recognize different things including toys C. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematics D. Rico wont forget the names of objects once recognizing them50. Which of the following statements is true? A. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collies mental abilities. B. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training. C. The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects. D. Rico is born to understand its owners mands.51. What does the writer want to tell us? A. To train your dog. B. To talk to your dog. C. To be friendly to your dog. D. To be careful with your dog.DIn summer, millions of people will head for the beachAnd while the ocean can be a great place to swim and play, it may also be useful in another waySome scientists think that waves could help make electricity“Have you ever been on a surfboard or boat and felt yourself being lifted up by a wave? Or have you jumped in the water and felt the energy as waves crashed over you?” asked Jamie Taylor of the Wave Energy Group at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland“There is certainly a lot of energy in waves”Scientists are working on using that energy to make electricityMost waves are created when winds blow across the ocean“The winds start out by making little ripples (波纹) in the water, but if they keep on blowing , those ripples get bigger and bigger and turn into waves, ”Taylor said“Waves are one of natures ways of picking up energy and then sending it off on a journey”When waves e towards the shore, people can set up dams or other barricades to block the water and send it through a large wheel called a turbine (涡轮) The turbine can then power an electrical generator (发电机) The United States and a few other countries have started doing research on wave energy , and it is already being used in ScotlandThe resource is hugeWe will never run out of wave power, besides, wave energy does not create the same pollution as other energy sources, such as oil and coalOceans cover three quarters of the earths surfaceThat would make wave power seem perfect for creating energy around the worldThere are some drawbacks, howeverJamie Taylor said that wave power still cost too much moneyHe said that its effects on animals in the sea were still unknownPlus, wave power would get in the way of fishing and boat trafficWith more research, however, “many of these problems might be overe,” Taylor said“Demand for energy to power our TVs and puters, drive our cars, and heat and cool our homes is growing quickly throughout the worldFinding more energy sources is very important, for traditional sources of energy like oil and gas may run out some day”In the future, when you turn on a light switch, an ocean wave could be providing the electricity!52. Which of the following is NOT true? A. Wave power costs too much money B. Wave energy creates the same amount of pollution as other energy sources C. Wave power affects fishing and boat traffic D. Wave power may affect marine animals53. We can infer from the passage that _ A. finding new energy sources like wave energy is important B. wave energy is a resource that will never run out and is used all over the world C. wave power is perfect for creating energy around the world D. wave power doesnt create any pollution.54. The underlined word “drawbacks” probably means _ A. regretsB. adventuresC. disadvantagesD. difficulties55. What can be the best title for the passage? A. How to Get Electricity by Waves B. A Huge Resource of Energy C. Can Waves Make Electricity? D. The Disadvantages of Wave Energy第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据下列短文内容，从文章后的选项中选出能入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（请将5660答案填涂在答题卡的7175小题中）Getting your children to study can be a little like getting them to eat their vegetables.56 Make a study time and have it at the same time every day.This will help your kids to learn to schedule their day and will give them a sense of control over how they spend their time.Allow them to study in blocks of time，such as for half an hour with a fiveminute break in the middle.57 Ideal(理想的) study times are after dinner or right after school before dinner.Never allow your children to study in front of the television，as that will encourage passive activity.58 Youll also need to help your kids find the right place to study.After youve set up a good study time for little learners，set up a good place where they can get those creative juices flowing.59 Make sure there is a table or a desk and a fortable chair.60 This includes helping them out with their homework sometimes and being there for them with the answers to any questions.The input you give your children during study periods will help form a bond and help make studying enjoyable.APick a place where your children can study properly.BHold them to the schedule they create for themselves.CFinally，spend time with your kids when theyre studying.DKeep the atmosphere light and offer lots of encouragement，too.EInstead，use TV as a treat or a reward when the homework is pleted.FTry to stop this bad habit by offering some sort of reward.GOne of the best ways to form good study habits for your kids is to design a schedule that they keep to.第II卷 (非选择题)注意：将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。第四部分：英语知识运用(共四节，满分65分)第一节：（共10小题；每题1。5分，共15分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。 One day, about ten years ago, while working at the cash register in the gift shop at my University Museum of Natural History, I saw 61 elderly couple e in with a little girl in a wheelchair.As I looked 62 ( close ) at this girl, I founf that she was fixed on her chair.
