Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like to have this 100 bill?” The students began to put up their hands at once. Then he said, “I am going to give this bill to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made this bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it?” Hands went into the air. “Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air.“My friends,” he said, “Youve learned a valued lesson today. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it didnt go down in value(价值). It was still worth 100. Many times in our lives, were dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing.

Some travelers go to see battlefields（战地） or religious shrines（宗教圣地）. Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their photos taken in front of famous places. But most Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with（忍受） a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents（居民） of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short and much of the rest of the year is in the rain. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean（地中海）resorts(游览胜地) and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun. The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italys 30,000 hotels are booked every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French Beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spains long sandy coastline（海岸线） attracts more people than anywhere else. 37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain. But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on earth. And with increased tourism, its getting worse. The French cant figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St. Tropez. And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution. None of this, however, is damaging anyones fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they dont go there for clean water. They stand traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They dont even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, its still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin（柏林）, London, or Oslo.61. It can be inferred from the passage that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that _.A. they want to see battlefields or religious shrines B. they are interested in different cultures C. they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites D. they wish to escape from the cold, dark and rainy days back at home 62. In Para.1, cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam are mentioned to show that _.A. they are not good cities in geography and climate B. how rich their residents are C. these cities lack places of historic interest and tourist spots D. they have got more tourism than they can handle 63. According to the passage, which of the following countries attracts more tourists than the others? A. Italy B. Spain C. France D. Greece 64. The sentence “one tourist for every person living in Spain” (Para.2 ) means _.A. every year the number of tourists is equal to（等于） the number of people living in Spain B. all the 37 millions people living in Spain are tourists C. every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist D. every Spanish is visited by a tourist every year 65. Which of the following will damage the tourists fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches? A. Polluted water. B. Crowded buses. C. Traffic jams. D. Rainy weatherCA camera and a computer can “see” something that perhaps millions of pairs of eyes failed to see for 480 years: the Mona Lisas necklace. The discovery about the famous painting was made by an American physicist. The Mona Lisa, painted by the Italian, Leonardo da Vinci, has been on show for many years in Paris. Now a row of white spots on the neck have been “seen”. They are said to be the remains (痕迹) of a necklace which the artist later painted over. The painting will be examined further by using infrared scanning (红外线扫描) techniques. Laser (激光) technology can be used to show what lies directly under the surface of the finished work, too. This will help us to understand how the artist drew the picture: Did he begin with a quick-made drawing or have second thoughts as he painted the picture? This kind of knowledge will show us the famous artist at work. It may also help to explain Mona Lisas smile, which has puzzled art lovers for centuries. 66. This passage is mainly about _. A. the famous artist Leonardo da Vinci B. an American physicists discovery C. further researches on the Mona Lisa D. The uses of modern technology67. The Mona Lisa is _. A. a famous artist B. a famous painting C. a smiling woman D. a lost necklace68. In this passage, “the Mona Lisas lost necklace” suggests that _. A. Mona Lisa once wore a necklace B. someone stole the necklace from the Mona Lisa C. the artist did not keep the necklace he had painted on the neck D. the artist had a necklace stolen while working on the painting69. According to the passage, the white spots on Mona Lisas neck _. A. are still invisible to visitors B. have turned into a necklace C. have already appeared before visitors D. are looking more and more like a necklace70. The painting will be examined further so that people may know more about _. A. Mona Lisa and her smile B. the time when it was finished C. infrared scanning and laser D. this art work and the artist Part IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks) Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.We are well aware of the role of modern transportation（交通运输） in our lives. Not too long ago, people suffered great hardship in order to make a long journey. Moving heavy goods from one town to another involved hard labor. Today, we enjoy the convenience of various kinds of vehicles including ships, planes, trains, and automobiles, which allow us to go wherever we choose and make our workload much lighter. But modern transportation, along with convenience has brought some problems. With more drivers on the road, there has been an increase in traffic jams and accidents. The exhaust（排气管） from automobiles has added to our air pollution, aside from additional noise caused by trucks and cars on the road. Like everything else, modern transportation has more than one face. Here in China, we look to our government experts to solve these problems. Scientists are working on developing modern fuel (燃料) that produces less pollution. However, we can all help reduce air pollution from automobiles by only driving when it is necessary and using public transportation when available. Title: 71 Convenience allowing us to go anywhere reducing 72 73 traffic jams and accidents increasing the exhaust 74 air pollution 75 caused by vehicles 76 77 solving the problems scientists 78 poeple helping 79 by only driving when necessary and using public transportation when 80 Section B (10 marks) Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet. Many years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas station(加油站)about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas. I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friends. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card. I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterwards, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful. Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I
