三、阅读理解
Task 1
Directions:After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40.For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D.You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
In ancient(古代) time the most important examinations were spoken, not written.In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of reading poetry aloud or giving speeches. In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study of the subject.This custom exists today as part of the work of testing candidates（候选人）for a master’s or doctor’s degree. Generally, however, modern examinations are written.Two types of tests are commonly used in modern schools.The first type is sometimes called an objective (客观性) test, which is intended to deal with
facts,not personal opinions.To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer.Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.
The student has just one task: he must recognize the correct answer and copy its letter or number on his examination paper. For testing a student’s memory of facts and details, the objective test has advantages.It can find out a great deal about the student's range of knowledge.
For testing some kinds of learning, however, such a test is not very satisfactory.A lucky student may guess the correct answer without really knowing the material.
36.The passage is mainly about _____examinations. B.modern
37.The objective test is NOT very satisfactory because D.it contains elements of luck _ .
38.Which of the following statements about the objective test is true? B.The objective test has advantages for testing a student’s memory

40.Following the last paragraph,what will the next paragraph probably deal with _____ .
A.the other type of examination Task 2
Direction:This task is the same as Task 1.The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.

Rising natural rubber prices meant consumers were accepting supplies from sources previously neglected due to quality preferences, according to German importers.
“Tyre companies have started to consider rubber from new producers,” one said, “in the past, they never had any problems buying certain origins in time but since the high price period set in last December, this situation has changed.”
Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia were respectively the most expensive supplier, in that order, followed by Sri Lanka and the Ivory Coast, he said, naming Nigeria, Gabon, and Vietnam as cheap suppliers. Southeast Asian prices hit new highs this week as strong western
world demands rise with the beginning of the wintering season. “Consumers were not prepared for the high prices to last and their stocks are not high,” another importer said.
“Marketing flow could change if new suppliers became established”, he said，“ some of their qualities are very good and prices can be up to 10 percent below Asia’s.” Questions:
New problems with natural rubber market: 1) price of natural rubber:46. rsing 2) stock of tyre companies: 47.not high Advantages of suppliers outside Asia: 1) 48.quality is good 2) 49.proce is low Possible solution for buyers: 50.establish new suppliers

Taekwondo (跆拳道) is one of Korean traditional martial arts, which teaches more than mere physical fighting skills.It is a discipline that shows ways of enhancing one's spirit and life through training one’s body and mind.It is also a modern sport that has gained an international reputation and stands among the official games in the Olympic Games. Although its roots can be somewhat traced back to ancient Korea, it is a historic fact that taekwondo as an organized art is relatively modern.In fact, the only documented history begins in the mid 1900’s. The word taekwondo is composed of three parts, although it is only one word.Tae means foot, leg, or to step on.Kwon means fist or fight.Do means the way or discipline.These three parts together form the two important concepts behind taekwondo.First, taekwondo is the right way of using fists and feet, or all the parts of the body represented by fists and feet.Second, taekwondo is a way to control or calm down fights and keep the peace. This concept comes from the meaning of Tae Kwon to put fists under control.Thus the comprehensive meaning of taekwondo would be the right way of using all parts of the body to stop fights and help to build a better and more peaceful world.
With this peace-keeping spirit, taekwondo has been developing
with the 5,000 year long history of Korea, being called by several different names during its course.
Modern-day taekwondo is influenced by many other martial arts.The most important of these arts is Japanese Karate.This is because Japan dominated Korea during 1910 until the end of World War II.During World War II, lots of Korean soldiers were trained in Japan.During this occupation of Korea, the Japanese tried to erase all traces of the Korean culture, including the martial arts.After World War II, when Korea became independent, several kwons arose.Such as Chung Do Kwon, Moo Duk Kwon and so on.In order to eliminate Japanese influences in Korean martial arts, kwons began to unite into a single style and national sport.In 1965, the name Tae Kwon Do was chosen to represent this unified style of Korean martial arts.
36.What is the purpose of practicing taekwondo? D.All of the above.
37.The word “taekwondo” means _____ . D.all of the above
38.Korea was dominated by _____ from 1910 to World War II. B.Japan
39.When was the united martial arts named taekwondo? A.In 1965.
40.Which of the following statement is NOT true?
B.Taekwondo only trains people how to fight with each other.
Task 3
Directions: After reading the following passage, you are required to complete the outline below it (numbered 46 through 50).You should write your answers briefly(in no more than 3 words)on the Answer Sheet correspondingly. Tsunami is a Japanese word with the English translation, “harbor wave”. Represented by two characters, the top character “tsu” means “harbor”, while the bottom character “nami” means “wave”. In the past, tsunamis were sometimes referred to as “tidal waves” by the general public, and as “seismic sea waves” by the scientific
community.The term “tidal wave” is a misnomer; although a tsunami’s impact upon a coastline is dependent upon the tidal level at the time a tsunami strikes, tsunamis are unrelated to the tides.Tides result from the imbalanced, extraterrestrial, gravitational influences of the sun,moon, and planets.The term “seismic sea wave” is also
misleading.“Seismic” implies an earthquake-related generation
mechanism, but a tsunami can also be caused by a nonseismic event, such as a landslide or meteorite impact.
From the passage we know that tsunami is: 1.a word which derives from 46 Japanese.
2.not equal to the words like 47 tidal wave.
The word tsunami can be divided into two parts:48 tsu and namiThe imbalanced extraterrestrial, gravitational influences of the moon, sun and planets resulted in 49 tides.
The underlined word “misnomer” means 50 wrong term . Task 2
Saving Money
Where you save your money often depends on what you are saving for．If you are saving to buy a CD(光盘)or to go to a concert，then probably you would keep your money somewhere in your room．
If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip，where would you save your money?
One place to save money is the bank. Putting your money in a savings account will help your money earn more money. If you put your money in a piggy bank(猪形储蓄罐)，one year later you’ll still have the same amount of money you put in．If you put your money in a savings account，one year later, you’ll have more money than you put in. Why?
When you keep your money in a bank, your money earns interest. Interest is an amount of money a bank pays you to use your money. The bank uses your money(and the money of other people，too)to loan money to people and businesses.
The bank will send you a statement several times a year．A bank statement tells you how much money you have in your account. It also tells you how much interest you have earned. If you leave your money in the bank，you can watch it grow! Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD(定期存款)．If you have some money that you don’t need to use for a long time，this is a good way to make your money grow．You can buy a CD at a bank. You agree not to use the money for a certain period of time. That period might be from six months to five years．You can’t touch your money during that time. If you do，you must pay a penalty，or fee.
41.Your money will earn more money if you put it _____ D.in a savings account．
42.A bank pays you interest for _____ C.using your money．
43.Among other things，a bank statement tells you _____ A.the amount of money you have in the bank．
44.If you draw your money before it is due，you will have to _____ D.pay a penalty or fee．
45.The word“touch” in paragraph 5 could be best replaced by _____ C.“use”

65.When the film “ The Sound of Music” was shown in cinemas, it was described as the happiest sound all over the world.It was a tale of a family living in Austria as the World War II draws close.A free-spirited nun (修女) named Maria became the governess (家庭教师) of the von Trapp family.There were seven children in the family.The father, Captain von Trapp, is a widowed naval officer who educated his children with military discipline.
After making a few mistakes and singing several songs, Maria won her way to the hearts of the children.At the same time, she melted the captain’s tough heart and fell in love with him.In the end, Maria married the captain and the family flooded from the invading Nazi soldiers.
“The Sound of Music” opened in 1959 and went on to become the second-longest running broadway musical up to that time.Six years later it was turned into an Oscar-winning film.
当电影《音乐之声》在电影院放映的时候，它被描绘成世界上最快乐的声音。它讲述的是二战结束前一个奥地利家庭生活的故事。一个叫玛利亚的自由勇敢的修女成为了Trapp家的家庭教师。这个家庭由七个孩子和一位父亲即Trapp上校组成。他是一位用军队纪律培养孩子的鳏居的海军军官。
在犯过一些错误，唱过一些歌曲之后，玛利亚用她自己的方式赢得了孩子们的喜爱。同时她融化了上校那颗强硬的心与他坠入了爱河。结局是玛利亚嫁给了上校，他们一家从入侵的纳粹士兵手中逃脱。
