The people who are 36_ for reform usually want the 37_ to pay for campaigns and/or limit the amount of money that candidates and their 38 can spend. One reason that reform is called for is that it costs so much to 39_ for political office. Candidates have to spend a great deal of time and effort 40_ money. The incumbents (those already in office) have less time to do chief jobs since they must 41_ so many money raising events.Another 42 is the fear that candidates will be owned or 43_ by the special interest groups that give money to their campaigns. Sometimes this certainly seems to be the 44_. On the 45_ side are those who say that it doesnt mean its really 46_ just because you call something reform.

On one side stand those who see clothes dryers(干衣机) as a waste of energy and a major polluter of the environment. As a result, they are turning to clotheslines as part of the what-I -can do environmentalism(环境保护主义). On the other side are people who are against drying clothes outside, arguing that clotheslines are unpleasant to look at. They have persuaded Homeowners Associations (HOAs) access the U.S. to ban outdoor clotheslines, because clothesline drying also tends to lower home value in the neighborhood. This had led to a Right-to-Dry Movement that is calling for laws to be passed to protect peoples right to use clotheslines. So far, only three states have laws to protect clothesline. Right-to-Dry supporters argue that there should be move. Matt Reck, 37, is the kind of eco-conscious(有生态意识的) person who feeds his trees with bathwater and reuses water drops from his air conditioners to water plants. His family also uses a clothesline. But on July 9, 2007, the HOA in Wake Forest, North Carolina, told him that a dissatisfied neighbor had telephoned them about him clothesline. The Recks paid no attention to the warming and still dried their clothes on a line in the yard. Many people say they are environmentally friendly but they dont take matters in their own hands, says Reck. The local HOA has decided not to take any action, unless more neighbors come to them. North Carolina lawmakers are saying that banning clotheslines is not the right thing to do. But HOAs and housing businesses believe that clothesline drying reminds people of poor neighborhoods. They worry that if buyers think their future neighbors cant even afford dryers, housing prices will fall. Environmentalists say such worries are not necessary, and in view of global warming, that idea needs to change. As they say, The clothesline is beautiful. Hanging clothes outside should be encouraged. We all have to do at least something to slow down the process of global warming.56. One of the reasons why supporters of clothes dryers are trying to ham clothesline drying is that _. A. clothes dryers are more efficient B. clothesline drying reduces home value C. clothes dryers are energy-saving D. clothesline drying is not allowed in most U.S. states57. Which of the following best describes Matt Reck? A. He is a kind-hearted man. B. He is an impolite man. C. He is and experienced gardener. D. He is a man of social responsibility.58. Who are in favor of clothesline drying? A. housing businesses. B. Environmentalists. C. Homeowners Associations. D. Recks dissatisfied neighbors.59. What is mainly discussed in the text? A. Clothesline drying: a way to save energy and money. B. Clothesline drying: a lost art rediscovered. C. Opposite opinions on clothesline drying. D. Different varieties of clotheslines BPeople believes that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skill of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb, youre wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms(体育馆). Here, people are learning on climbing. The climbing wall goes straight up and small holding places for hands and feet. How do people climb the wall? To climb, you need special shoes and belt(保护带) around your chest to hold you. There are ropes(绳索)tied to you. The ropes hold you in place so that you dont fall. A beginners wall is usually about 15 feet high, and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes its easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes, its not. The most difficult is your fear. Its normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so its difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall, the ropes hold you, and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top. Climbing attracts people because its good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body, especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb, both your mind and your body can become stronger.60. What can we infer from the passage? A.

To encourage people to climb mountains. D. introduce the sport of wall climbingCThey say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon; on foot, on mules(骡子) or by air. We chose the first. Up early; my husband and I and our three children couldnt wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail. As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow the path was. And I couldnt help noticing that the other tourists werent like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed, As the sun rose higher, Arizonas famous heat seemed to roast(烘烤)us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly.The next day, after wed had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon - by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world.We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed(翻转)the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, STOP, TAKE US BACK! When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally Id suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.64. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?A. They made a careful preparation before the tripB. They children were more joyful than their parents.C.

D Celebrity（名人）has become one of the most important representatives of popular culture. Fans used to be crazy about a specific film, but now the public tends to base its consumption（消费）on the interest of celebrity attached to any given product. Besides, fashion magazines have almost abandoned the practice of putting models on the cover because they dont sell nearly as well as famous faces. As a result, celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful marker potential, moving from advertising for others products to developing their ownCelebrity clothing lines arent a completely new phenomenon, but in the past they were typically aimed at the ordinary consumers, and limited to a few TV actresses. Today theyre started by first-class stars whose products enjoy equal fame with some world top brands. The most successful start-ups have been those by celebrities with specific personal style. As celebrities become more and more experienced at the market, they expand their production scale rapidly, covering almost all the products of daily life.However, for every success story, theres a related warning tale of a celebrity who overvalued his consumer appeal. No matter how famous the products origin is, if it fails to impress consumers with its own qualities it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing. And once the initial（最初的）attention dies down, consumer interest might fade, loyalty（忠城）returning to tried-and-true labels.Today, celebrities face even more severe embarrassment. The pop-cultural circle might be bigger than ever, but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. Each misstep threatens to reduce a celebritys shelf life, and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears. Still, the egos（自我的）potential for expansion is limitless. Having already achieved great wealth and public recognition, many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to be conquered. As the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might last only a short time, but fashionlike celebrityhas always been temporary.68Fashion magazines today Aseldom put models on the coverBno longer put models on the coverCneed not worry about celebrities marker potentialDjudge the marker potential of every celebrity correctly 69A change in the consumer marker can be found today that Aprice rather than brand name is more concerned Bproducers prefer models to celebrities for advertisementsCproducers prefer TV actresses to film stars for advertisementsDquality rather than the outside of products is more concerned 70.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 indicates that any wrong step will possibly Adecrease the popularity of a celebrity and the sales of his productsBdamage the image of a celebrity in the eyes of the general publicCcut short the artistic career of a celebrity in show businessDinfluence the price of a celebritys products 第卷（非选择题 两部分 共35分） 第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese students they always say, My spoken English is poor. However, their spoken English does not have to remain poor. I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English. First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are sky and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENTLYNOTACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesnt matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears. The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking. Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then, you will see English opportunities wherever you go. If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget that English you know. Remember : USEIT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more.Title: Problems with spoken EnglishReasonsSolutions/ TipsLimit of(71) You have to(72) their vocabularyYou should take a positive attitude towards(73) English.(74) about making mistakesShyness and (75) make it easy to make mistakes.More(76) should be paid to fluency.(77) of attention while listeningAll that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking(78) reactive outlookAs language learners, most Chinese students are(79) instead of being of active.You should take(80) of all opportunities to improve your spoken English.第五部分 书面表达（满分25分） 1最近，是否开征燃油税成了社会各界关注的热点问题。对此，人们普遍持两种观点。请根据以下要点，用英语写一篇150词左右的短文，并谈谈你自己的看法。赞 成反 对1. 此政策已有试点，他们的经验能够推广；2. 利于鼓励购买小型、节能汽车；3. 利于保护环境，缓解交通压力。1. 除了运输业，也涉及其
