Moores account is different. He shows that far from being fearless, she could often be fearful without cause. The final volume will include her fall from power.Harold Wilson by Ben Pimlott (1992)Harold Wilson had bee a ghostly figure when this book was published in 1992. The absence heightened a sense of mystery. Who was he? How to explain his seemingly contradictory characteristics? Pimlott solves some of the mysteries; the book is detailed until Wilsons final phase as prime minister in 1974.Churchill by Roy Jenkins (xx)Jenkins writes a politician as well as a historian, analyzing Churchills historic moves from the opinions of one who had also spoken in the mons. Jenkins had resigned from high positions in battles over policy, and as one that changed parties, though not as frequently as Churchill did.Roy Jenkins by John Campbell (xx)Campbell calmly narrates the many political and personal dramas, including Jenkins intense relationship with Anthony Crosland when they were both students at Oxford. Campbell also addresses Jenkins various affairs with women. Like Jenkinss political heroes, he led many lives. Campbell is sharp in describing each of them.Diaries, Volumes One to Six by Alastair Campbell (xx)Love or hate him, Campbell remains the master of the inside story, and not just because of his unusual ideas on the relationship between Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. This is an incredibly detailed book on what its like to live inside No. 10: the cruel space of events; and the constant conflict with the media.21.

I lay on our living room floor excitedly watching the battle between the Brains: American Brain Boitano facing Brian Orser in Canada. Both of them had been world champions. Both of them deserved to win. As a Northern Californian, I was for my fellow countryman. He also grew up in Northern California. Wed skated on the same ice. Brain performed successfully. The champion! I jumped in the air when his score went up. But what happened next is what Ill never forget. Brain sat in front of the camera, surrounded by a group of journalists. Brain was talking about his career and his medal, talking to the whole world. A terrible sinking feeling went through me. I could never be in the Olympics, I thought. I loved skating because I could express myself with my jumps and dances better than words. What if journalists asked me questions like they asked Brain? Id freeze up like the ice beneath my skates! And yet, there was so much I would love to say, about my family and all the support theyd given me and about following my dream of being a skating champion. I worked very hard the next few years-on the ice and especially off. After journalists talked to me and although my heart pounded every time I spoke to them, I got to know them. And they got to know me. Slowly I learned that the best approach was simply to be myself, to be honest and gracious and do my best, just like on the ice, to answer their questions. So when my big moment came four years after Brains, I was ready. Remember: when you do the thing you fear most, you put an end to fear.24. What information can we get from the first paragraph? A. The author lives a difficult life. B. The author es from Canada. C. The author preferred Boitano to win. D. Orser won the gold medal.25.What did Brains press conference remind the author of ? A.

Her hard training as an Olympic petitor.26.What does the underlined word “off ” possibly refer to? A. Challenges in school. B. Contact with reporters. C. Achievements in skating. D. petitions with others27.What was he author ready to do according to the last paragraph? A. Do her best to win. B. Enter the Olympic final. C. Make friends with reporters. D. Talk to the press afterwards.CCities are likely to be affected by overheating, thanks to something called the urban heat island effect. Cities tend to be short of trees, which provide shade, and they are covered with black pavement, which absorbs heat from the sun. Think of how it feels to wear a dark shirt versus a white shirt on a sunny day. A black shirt absorbs light, heating you up. But a white shirt reflects light, keeping you cool.The average temperature in a city of a million or more people can be more than 5 degrees F hotter than surrounding areas. That extra 5 degrees can turn a hot day from unfortable to deadly. As temperatures rise, cities will be an especially dangerous place to be during a heat wave. To protect public health, city officials are going to make the city cooler.As part of that effort, Los Angeles is coating its roads in CoolSeal, a gray paint that keeps streets and parking lots 10 degrees cooler than black asphalt（沥青）. It will help Angelinos save money during the summer, when air conditioning sends power bills soaring. And it will save lives by lowering temperatures and improving air quality. Hot weather worsens air pollution by turning car exhaust into smog, which can make life miserable for people with asthma（哮喘）and other breathing problems.Of course, LA will have to do more than paint over a few streets to cool off the city. Angelinos will also need to plant more trees and apply white paint to rooftopsat least those not already covered in solar panels. While LA is a pioneer of reflective streets, other cities, like New York, are already experimenting with reflective roofs or, like Melbourne, lowering the temperature by planting trees. LA is hardly alone in its effort to stay cool.“This is an urgent challenge, and its much bigger than one person,” said Mayor Garcetti in a recent statement. “Climate change is a fact of life that people in Los Angeles and cities around the world live with every day.”28. Which of the following contributes to the urban heat island effect? A. Planting more trees in the streets. B. Covering the streets with white paint. C. Applying reflective paint to rooftops. D. Furnishing every house with air conditioners.29. What should the city officials emphasize during hot summer? A. How to make the city cooler. B. Where to wear a white shirt. C. Why to coat the roads with black paint. D. When to cut off the electricity supply.30. What benefit can people gain from the use of CoolSeal? A. Increasing the indoor activities. B. Promoting the sale of air conditioners. C. Making life easier and more fortable. D. Reducing the number of cold days.31. Whats the main idea of the passage? A. L.A. adopted many approaches to fight against the heat. B. L.A. calls on people to fight against global warming. C. More and more countries begin to plant trees in the streets. D. L.A. is painting its streets white to keep the city cool.DIn an unmanned supermarket, a customer waits to pay. With the use of advanced digital payment technology, including biological recognition and in-depth learning, the man leaves in a minute. Theres no cashier in the store. At a large university, students use a hand-scanning machine that authorizes their entry into the gym. Those people are using “smart machines” which identify people by their physical characteristics. These new devices use fingers, hands, faces, eyes and voices. Some machines may even use smells. This new technology, called biometrics, gets information from parts of the body.In the past, biometric machines were used mainly in government agencies or in prisons. But now that the cost of the technology is lower, these machines are starting to be used everywhere, from border services to schools.Some people, however, are concerned that these machines will mean the destruction of personal privacy. They worry that the machines will get personal information about them. “I know it seems like these machines are invading our privacy, but actually, biometric machines help to protect it,” says Jay Tarkett, who works at a pany that develops the machines. “They can be used instead of passwords on a puter, for example. They can also identify criminals at airports. So, really, they help to promote public safety, and all the information stored is kept confidential by the machine itself.”Some people dont like the idea of using fingerprints because they associate them with criminals, and feel like they are being accused of something. In addition, they dont work for some people, such as bricklayers, who wear down their fingerprints. Yet, face recognition does work well because the subject doesnt really have to do anything. To cash a check at a bank, for example, the customer has to do nothing more than look at a machine similar to an automatic teller. If the face matches the picture kept on fie, the customer gets the money with no problems. The need to carry identification with you from place to place, then, would all but cease.It has been found that the hand scan works well in the college gym. Before this machine was used, students at the college entered the gym using cards similar to credit cards. The problem was that students often lost or forgot their cards. With the hand-scanning machine, however, the problem was solved right away.But the machines are still new, and there can be problems. For example, voice recognition works on the phone, but it is not precise, and can be tricked. Another constraint（限制）we notice, with machines that use face recognition in particular, is that they can be fooled if people color their hair or gain a lot of weight. However, this particular problem may be solved by a new type of technology that scans a persons iris, the colored part of the eye. It can even identify the person from a few feet away, recognizing a customer as he or she approaches the ATM.32.Whats the authors intention by presenting two examples in Paragraph 1? A. To stress how smart machines work. B. To bring in the topic of the passage. C. To show the popularity of smart machines. D. To introduce the convenience smart machines offer.33.Why are biometric machines starting to be used in many fields? A. They are not as expensive as they were. B. They no longer invade peoples privacy. C. People enjoy face and voice recognition. D. Criminals are often hidden at airports.34.What is the authors attitude towards the new technology? A. Worried. B. Bitter. C. Optimistic. D. Satisfied.35.What is the passage mainly about? A. An introduction to biometric machines. B. An advertisement for biometric machines. C. A brief description of hand scanning machines. D. An analysis of biometric machines value in economy.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。 Choosing the right college for you is not so easy. You should have a general idea of what you want and dont want. The idea can guide you to find what fits your needs best. 36 Think about what major you want to study in college. If you know that, just look at colleges that have your major. 37 So think carefully about your major and interests before choosing one. Where the college is located matters. Anyone who tells you the location isnt important is lying. 38 If you look forward to working in the publishing industry, New York may be your best bet. If your parents want you to stay close to home, please dont consider anywhere that requires a plane ticket to get to. Think about how much you can afford. Are your parents paying for your education? If so, how much are they willing to spend? Do you have to contribute anything? Financial aid and scholarship exist, but dont count on anything. 39 These are all things to consider before you fall in love with a college. Make sure youre going to spend time with the right people. The cool thing about college is that each different one attracts different kinds of people. For the first thing in your life, you get to choose where you get to spend your time and who you get to spend it with. 40 Make sure that the people youre with for four years are your kind of people.A. College is about learning what you love. B. Youd better choose a major that is popular.C. Go to the college with some people you like.D. Are you willing to go into major debt over a school?E. Remember, above all, its the people that make the place.F. If you dont like cold weather, stay away from northern schools.G. These guidelines will help figure out what college you want to go to.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I can still remember one day five years ago when I was invited to attend a presentation at the Kentucky School.
