M: Do you mind if I turn the TV off?
W: Yes, I do. I'm in the middle of watching a program.
Text 2
M: This is the third time Roger has phoned me to say a new job.
W: Not a surprise. It's difficult to keep a young man in one job for life nowadays.
Text 3
M: Will you please give this note to Flona, Mary? She needs help.
W: What is the matter?
M: Her father's ill and she wants to leave school.
Text 4
W: I hope we're not late.
M: What time is it?
W: Let me see. Twentyfive past two.
M: Then we'll just make it. It doesn't start until half past two.
Text 5
M: Did you make the speech at the meeting yesterday?
W: Why, I thought you were present.
Text 6
M: Excuse me. I think you are in my seat.
W: Sorry, but it says 7A on my boarding card.
M: Oh, um ... right. I asked for a window seat, you see.
W: Yeah, so did I. What's your seat number?
M: Let's see. Oh, it's 8A.
W: So I guess you are in the seat behind me.
M: Oh, yes. Sorry about that.
Text 7
M: Miss Grace is going to Sydney next week and we're giving her a farewell party this afternoon.
W: The party should be interesting. I've been on sick leave for so long that I know little about what's going on at school. What time is the party going to be?
M: At four o'clock. You'll come, won't you?
W: But I must see the doctor first. Four o'clock is too early for me.
M: But you must be on time, or the party will be over.
W: OK. I must remember the time of the party. Four o'clock in the afternoon.
M: Right, see you there. Bye.
Text 8
M: Have you ever heard of art in a box and Joseph Cornell?
W: No, what's that? Is he a film producer or a book writer?
M: Neither. He's known for his boxes. The boxes were so beautifully constructed that you couldn't take your eyes off them.
W: I'm interested in those boxes now. I wonder if I can see them somewhere.
M: Yes, a large collection of his interesting artwork will be shown soon.
W: Where will it be? Here in New York?
M: At the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington. Will you go with me?
W: Of course. Let's go together.
Text 9
M: I've got a question for you. If you take me a trip, how do you prefer to travel?
W: By ship, I think. It's relaxing.
M: But usually it takes a long time. That means you may not be able to go unless you have a long vacation. Well, I prefer to travel by air.
W: Isn't it rather dangerous? Yesterday I heard a news report about a flight from London to New York that crashed.
M: Not necessarily. Trains and ships are not 100% safe, either.
W: I agree with you. But still ...
M: I know you're still worried. But planes are much safer than before. Plus planes are quick and comfortable. Of course, I'm not saying the plane is the best. But if you don't try, you will never know how you really feel about it.
W: OK. I'll try this summer holiday.
M: You don't suffer from air sickness, do you?
W: I'm not sure. I'll have to see.
Text 10
Many centuries ago all people lived on seeds and plants. They didn't know how to farm or raise animals for food. Because they used stone tools, we call them the Stone Age people. There are people who still live much like these Stone Age people. They live in the places that are hard to reach. Since they have met few outsiders,they don't know about modern inventions, and they haven't learned the ways of doing things from others. For 25,000 years,such groups of people have lived alone in the middle of Australia. One of the groups is the Kooris. They don't know how to farm,nor do they raise animals. The Kooris spend most of their time searching for food and water. Several Kooris families live together as a group. They have no houses. At night,they sleep around the fires.
其次部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
In most languages, a greeting is usually followed by “small talk”. Small talk means the little things we talk about at the start of a conversation. In Englishspeaking countries people often make small talk about the weather: “Nice day, isn't it?” “Terrible weather, isn't it?” But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather, so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion (宗教) or politics so these are not suitable topics for small talk in English. The topics (话题) for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching: “A great game, isn't it?” At busstops, people may talk about the transport system (体制): “The bus service is terrible, isn't it?”
Greetings and small talk are an important part of conversation in any language. The way people greet each other and the things they talk about, however, may be different from one language to another. This shows that there is much more to learn when we learn a language than just the vocabulary and the grammar of the language. We also have to learn the social behavior of the people who speak it.
21. Which of the following is a good topic for small talk?
A. Politics. B. Income.
C. Weather. D. Religion.

A. we should understand the importance of the language
B. it's necessary to learn about the culture of the country
C. we should learn about the transport system of the country
D. it's enough to grasp the grammar and vocabulary of the language
答案与解析 B 依据其次段最终一句“We also have to learn the social behavior ...”可推知。
23. When we say “A great game, isn't it?” we in fact ________.
A. ask a question B. discuss the game
C. greet the other person D. begin a small talk
答案与解析 D 依据第一段中的“At football matches, people make small talk about the game they are watching ...”可知。

B
Except for the sun, the moon looks the biggest object in the sky. Actually it is one of the smallest, and only looks big because it is so near to us. Its diameter is only 2,160 miles (3,389 km) , or a little more than a quarter of the diameter of the earth.
Once a month, or, more exactly, once every 29. 5 days, at the time we call “full moon”, its whole disc looks bright. At other times only part of it appears bright, and we always find that this is the part which faces towards the sun, while the part facing away from the sun appears dark. People could make their pictures better if they kept this in mind — only those parts of the moon which are lighted up by the sun are brighter. This shows that the moon gives no light of its own. It only throws back the light of the sun, like a huge mirror hung in the sky.
Yet the dark part of the moon's surface is not completely black;usually it is just light enough for us to be able to see its shape, so that we speak of “seeing the old moon in the new moon's arms”. The light by which we see the old moon does not come from the sun, but from the earth. We know well how the surface of the sea or of snow, or even of a wet road, may throw back uncomfortably much of the sun's light onto our faces. In the same way the surface of the whole earth throws back enough of the sun's light onto the face of the moon for us to be back to see the parts of it which would otherwise be dark.
25. Why is the dark part of the moon not completely black?
A. The earth throws back sunlight onto the moon.
B. The sun shines on the moon's surface.
C. The moon throws back the light from the sun.
D. The moon has light of its own.
答案与解析 A 从最终一段得此答案。
26. How often can we see the “full moon”?
A. Once every week. B. Once every year.
C. Once every 29.5 days. D. Once every 27 days.
答案与解析 C 从其次段第一句得此答案。
27. What is meant by “seeing the old moon in the new moon's arms”?
A. We can see the dark parts of the moon, though not clearly.
B. The new moon is at its brightest.
C. The dark parts of the moon are bright enough for us to see.
D. Part of the moon's surface is lighted by the sun.
答案与解析 A 从第三段第一句得此答案。
28. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The moon which appears round at its brightest is called full moon.
B. The moon's diameter is exactly one fourth of that of the earth.
C. The light by which we see the old moon comes from the sun.
D. The part of the moon which is not lighted by the sun is completely dark.
答案与解析 A 从“at the time we call ‘full moon’, its whole disc looks bright”得此答案。
C
Karen, one of my workmates was stressed about where she was living. She hated the apartment she was in and complained every day about it. One day over coffee,I asked her why she didn't look for another apartment — it seemed like an easy solution to me. Karen's reply to this was: “I will look for another apartment when I come back from vacation.”
Sam hated his job. He was tired of getting up in the morning. He hated the work he was doing and it started to take a toll on him. He had a love for photography and was currently taking a twoyear course to get his certificate. Every night he complained about his work. After listening to his complaints for a month,I asked him why he didn't finish his course and start a small business doing photography on the weekends. His reply was: “If only I had more time to finish my course. When I finish my course I will start a business.”
Sarah had saved all her life and now was retired and living comfortably. The house she bought had a dishwasher in it; however, the dishwasher was old and didn't work. She hated doing dishes, and every time we visited her she complained about doing the dishes. One night, I asked her, “Why don't you buy a new dishwasher, Sarah?”Her reply was: “I have been thinking about it. If they would only come on sale I would.”
All of these stories have the same theme running through them. There is a proverb that says it all.
“If and when were planted, and nothing grew.”
29. We can guess from the passage that ________.
A. Karen will buy a new apartment after her vacation
B. Karen will not be stressed about his living place any longer
C. Karen will go on living in the old apartment and complain
D. Karen will save money to buy a big apartment
答案与解析 C Karen所谓的度假回来再去找房子,只是她拖沓、迟疑的体现,照此进展,她最大的可能是一拖再拖,照旧住在旧房子里。
30. Sarah didn't buy a new dishwasher because ________.
A. she did not have enough money
B. she hoped that she could buy a cheaper one
C. she was always waiting for a proper one

32. According to the author,if he needs a dishwasher,he would ________.
A. immediately buy one
B. wait to buy a cheaper one

答案与解析 A 从最终两段可以看出,作者对这三个人的做法是持否定态度的,由此判定答案为A项。
D
I was once told by another Revolutionary War buff (爱好者), that the best book on that war was April Morning. Naturally I had to buy it and read this “best book” and I do admit it is a great story of one day in a very important time of our nation's history.
April 19,1775 is the day that Howard Fast writes about. The day is told from afternoon to evening of the next day. You are taken from the North American home of fifteenyearold Adam Cooper, his younger brother, Levi, his mother, father, and grandmother, to war. The British_Redcoats were coming
