16、回答16-22題： American Sports The United States is a sports-loving nation. Sports in America take a variety of forms: organized competitive struggles, which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory; athletic games,played for recreation anywhere sufficient space is found; and hunting and fishing. Most sports are seasonal, so that what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year. Some sports are called spectator sports, as the number of spectators greatly exceeds the number playing in the game. Baseball is the most popular sport in the US. It is played throughout the spring and summer, and professional baseball teams play well into the fall. Although no other game is exactly like baseball, perhaps the one most nearly like it is the English game of cricket. Football is the most popular sport in the fall. The game originated as a college sport more than 75 years ago. It is still played by almost every college and university in the country, and the football stadiums of some of the largest universities seat as many as 80, 000 people. The game is not the same as European football or soccer. In American football there are 11 players on each team, and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur. Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges. Like football, basketball originated in the US and is not popular in other countries. Many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game. It is a very popular game with high schools, and in more than 20 states, state-wide high school matches are held yearly. Other spectator sports include wrestling, boxing, and horse racing. Although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen, the accuracy of the term is questionable, as only the jockeys who ride the horses in the races can be considered athletes. The so-called sportsmen are the spectators, who do "not assemble" primarily to see the horses race, but to bet upon the outcome of each race. Gambling is the attraction of horse racing. Hunting and fishing are mainly favored by men, young and old, in the US. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
17、 Professional baseball teams can continue to play for a long period of time in the fall after the regular baseball seasons of spring and summer. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
18、 Baseball shares many features with the English game of cricket. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
19、 Football can be classified as a spectator sport. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
20、 Many Americans like basketball better than football because the latter is so harsh that players have to wear special uniforms. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
21、 Basketball in American is so popular with universities that nationwide university matches are held yearly. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned
22、 Horse-racing fans cannot be considered sportsmen because they are spectators whose primary interest is gambling. A．Right B．Wrong C．Not mentioned 下面的短文后有兩項(xiàng)測(cè)試任務(wù)：(1)第23～26題要求從所給的6個(gè)選項(xiàng)中為第2-5段的每段選擇l個(gè)標(biāo)題；(2)第27～30題要求從所給的6個(gè)選項(xiàng)中為每個(gè)句子確定1個(gè)選項(xiàng)。
23、回答23-30題： Keeping Cut Flowers 1 While everybody enjoys fresh cut flowers around their house, few people know how to keep them for as long as possible. This may be done by keeping in mind a few simple facts. 2 An important thing to remember about cut flowers is that they are sensitive to temperature. For example, studies have shown that cut carnations(康乃馨)retain their freshness eight times longer when kept at 12℃ than when kept at 26℃. Keeping freshly harvested flowers at the right temperatures is probably the most important aspect of flower care. 3 Flowers are not intended by nature to live very long. Their biological purpose is simply to attract birds or insects, such as bees, for pollination(授粉). After that, they quickly dry up and die. The process by which flowers consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide(二氧化碳), called respiration(呼吸), generates the energy the flower needs to give the flower its shape and color. The making of seeds also depends on this energy. While all living things respire, flowers have a high level of respiration. A result of all this respiration is heat, and for flowers the level of heat relative to the mass of the flower is very high. Respiration also brings about the eventual death of the flower. Thus the greater the level of respiration, the sooner the flower dies. 4 How, then, to control the rate at which flowers die? By controlling respiration. How is respiration controlled? By controlling temperature. We know that respiration produces heat, but the reverse is also true. Thus by maintaining low temperatures, respiration is reduced and the cut flower will age more slowly. 5 Another vital factor in keeping cut flowers is the quality of the water in which they are placed. Flowers find it difficult to "drink" water that is dirty or otherwise polluted. Even when water looks and smells clean, it almost certainly contains harmful substances that can endanger the flowers. To rid the water of these unwanted substances, household chlorine bleach(含氯漂白劑)can be used in small quantities. It is recommended that 15 drops of chlorine bleach(at 4% solution)be added to each liter of water. The water and solution should also be replaced each day. Paragraph 2__________.
24、 Paragraph 3__________.
25、 Paragraph 4__________.
26、 Paragraph 5__________. A．Control of Respiration B．Beauty of Fresh Cut Flowers C．Role of Respiration D．Most Important Aspect of Flower Care E．Need for Clean Water F．Ways of Stopping Respiration
27、 A few simple facts will help you keep cut flowers__________.
28、 Respiration plays a key role__________
29、 The aging of cut flowers can be slowed down__________.
30、 Another important way to prolong the life of cut flowers is__________. A．by keeping its original shape and color B．in the life of cut flowers C．to produce carbon dioxide D．for as long as possible E．by controlling temperature F．to replace the water and solution every day 下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道題。每道題后面有4個(gè)選項(xiàng)，請(qǐng)仔細(xì)閱讀短文并根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答其后面的問題，從4個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選擇l個(gè)答案涂在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上。
31、回答31-45題： America's national parks are like old friends. You may not see them for years at a time, but just knowing they're out there makes you feel better. Hearing the names of these famous old friends-Yosemite, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon - revives memories of visits past and promotes dreams of those still to come. From Acadia to Zion, 369 national parks are part of a continually evolving system. Ancient fossil beds, Revolutionary War battlefields, magnificent mountain ranges, and monuments to heroic men and women who molded this country are all a part of our National Park System (NPS). The care and preservation for future generations of these special places is entrusted to the National Park Service. Uniformed Rangers, the most visible representatives of the Service, not only offer park visitors a friendly wave, a helpful answer, or a thought-provoking history lesson, but also are skilled rescuers, firefighters, and dedicated resource protection professionals. The National Park Service ranks also include architects, historians, archaeologists, biologists, and a host of other experts who preserve and protect everything from George Washington's teeth to Thomas Edison's wax recordings. Modern society has brought the National Park Service both massive chalienges and enormous opportunities. Satellite and computer technologies are expanding the educational possibilities of a national park beyond it's physical boundaries. Cities struggling to revive their urban cores are turning to the Park Service for expert assistance to preserve their cultural heritage, create pocket parks and green spaces, and re-energize local economies. Growing communities thirsty for recreational outlets are also working with the NPS to turn abandoned railroad tracks into bike and biking trails, as well as giving unused federal property new life as recreation centers. To help meet these challenges and take advantage of these opportunities, the National Park Service has formed partnerships - some dating back 100 years, some only months old - with other agencies, state and local governments, corporations, American Indian tribes and Alaska Natives, Park Friends groups, cooperating associations, private organizations, community groups and individuals who share the National Park ethic. National Park Week 1996 is a celebration of these partnerships. Why are America's national parks like old friends? A．Because they are always out there. B．Because they are very old. C．Because they make people feel better. D．Because they are very famous.
32、 Which of the following statements is true about uniformed rangers? A．They take tourists to national parks. B．They always act as tourist guides. C．They help set up new national parks. D．They protect the National Park System.
33、 The National Park Service does all of the following EXCEPT A．offering help to visitors. B．molding the Nation. C．keeping people better informed of the National Park System. D．helping preserve the cultural heritage.
34、 What is this passage about? A．It is about the American National Parks. B．It is about the National Park Service. C．It is about the National Park Service partnerships. D．It is about the care and preservation of the National Parks in America.
35、 What will the paragraph following this passage most probably discuss? A．The pocket parks in America. B．The preparations made for the celebration of National Park Week 1996. C．The work that has been done by the partners. D．The preservation of national resources in America.
36、回答36-50題： Play Play is the principal business of childhood, and in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy, every child needs opportunity and the right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys, Their main function is to suggest, encourage and assist play. To succeed in this they must be good toys, which children will play with often, and will come back to again and again. Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child's development. In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited abilities. is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby's ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged and stimulated, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully. In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toy should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability. Bricks and jigsaws (七巧板) and construction toys; painting, scribbling (涂鴉) and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play; the first social games for learning to play and get on with others. But the third stage of playdevelopment -- from five to seven or eight years -- the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys. Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child. But once reading has been mastered, then books and school become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, they lead on to new hobbies, but their significance has changed-to a child of nice or ten years, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun. The passage tells us that as a child grows up, ____ A．he should be allowed to choose his own toys B．he should be given identical toys C．he should be given different toys D．he should be given fewer and fewer toys
37、 According to the passage, the abilities a child has inherited from his parents ____ A．determine his character B．will not change after the age of three C．partly determine the standard he is likely to reach D．to a large extent determine the choice of toys
38、 Who have the best chance of growing up successfully____? A．Those who tend to overeat. B．Those who are given a lot of toys. C．Those who are given toys, talked to and played with. D．Those who can share their toys with their playmates.
39、 We learn from the passage that a child has boundless curiosity ____ A．when he is two B．when he is around four C．when he is six D．when he is eight
40、 The passage is mainly about ____ A．the importance of pre-school education B．the importance of schooling C．the role of play in a child's development D．the choice of toys for adolescents
41、回答41-55題： I have learnt of a plan to build three hundred houses on the land called Parson's Place by the football ground. Few people know about this new plan to increase the size of our town. For me, Parson's Place is special because it is a beautiful natural area where local people can relax -the small wood has many unusual trees and the stream is popular with fishermen and bird-watchers. It's very quiet because there are few houses or roads nearby. I think that losing this area will be terrible because we have no other similar facilities in the neighbourhood. I am also against this plan because it will cause traffic problems. How will the people from the new houses travel to work? The motorway and the railway station are on the other side of town. Therefore, these people will have to drive through the town centre every time they go anywhere. The roads will always be full of traffic,there will be nowhere to park and the tourists who come to see our lovely old buildings will leave. Shops and hotels will lose business. If the town really needs more homes, the empty ground beside the railway station is a more suitable place. No doubt the builders will make a lot of money by selling these houses. But,in my opinion,the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan. As well as this,we will lose a very special place and our town will be much less pleasant. I am going to the local government offices on Monday morning to protest about this plan and I hope that your readers will join me there. We must make them stop this plan before it is too late. Why has Alan written this letter'? A．To perersuade the government to build new houses. B．To protest about a new motorway near the town. C．To encourage more people in the town to use Parson's Place. D．To inform other people about the builders' plans.
42、 Why is Persian's Place particularly important,in Alan's opinion? A．Because it is near the football ground. B．Because lots of people live near it. C．Because it is a place near the town where people can enjoy nature. D．Because local people can get there easily by car from the town.
43、 What will cause traffic jams? A．A building on Parson's Place. B．Building near the railway station. C．Tourists in the narrow streets. D．People going to the shops and hotels.
44、 Alan says that ordinary people who live in the town will probably soon A．open new shops and hotels B．choose to live near the station C．be able to buy new homes D．have less money
45、 Which of these posters has Alan made? A．Save Our Sports Ground B．Say No to Houses on Parson's Place C．We Need Homes Not Hotels D．Use the Train Not the Road 閱讀下面的短文，文章中有5處空白，文章后面有6組文字，請(qǐng)根據(jù)文章的內(nèi)容選擇5組文字，將其分別放回文章原有位置，以恢復(fù)文章原貌。請(qǐng)將答案涂在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上。 46、回答46-50題： The first four minutes When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. In his book, "Contact: The first four minutes," he offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships: __46__. A lot of people's whole lives would change if they did just that. You may have noticed that average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he as just met.__47__. If anyone has ever done this to you, you probably did not like him very much. When we are introduced to new people, the author suggests, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general, he says, "People like people who like themselves."On the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves. It is important to appear interested and sympathetic, realizing that the other person has his won needs, fears, and hopes. Hearing such advice, one might say, "But I'm not a friendly, self-confident person. That's not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to at that way."__48__. We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. "It is like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old one."But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, "total honest" is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain about one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one's opinions and impressions. __49__. For a husband and wife or a parent and child, problems often arise during their first four minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be treated with care. If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed, they should be dealt with later. The author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. __50__ that is at least as important as how much we know. A．In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits. B．Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends. C．In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people. D．Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes. E． He keeps looking over the other person's shoulder, as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room. F． He is eager to make friends with everyone. ________

31、回答31-45題： America's national parks are like old friends. You may not see them for years at a time, but just knowing they're out there makes you feel better. Hearing the names of these famous old friends-Yosemite, Yellowstone, Grand Canyon - revives memories of visits past and promotes dreams of those still to come. From Acadia to Zion, 369 national parks are part of a continually evolving system. Ancient fossil beds, Revolutionary War battlefields, magnificent mountain ranges, and monuments to heroic men and women who molded this country are all a part of our National Park System (NPS). The care and preservation for future generations of these special places is entrusted to the National Park Service. Uniformed Rangers, the most visible representatives of the Service, not only offer park visitors a friendly wave, a helpful answer, or a thought-provoking history lesson, but also are skilled rescuers, firefighters, and dedicated resource protection professionals. The National Park Service ranks also include architects, historians, archaeologists, biologists, and a host of other experts who preserve and protect everything from George Washington's teeth to Thomas Edison's wax recordings. Modern society has brought the National Park Service both massive chalienges and enormous opportunities. Satellite and computer technologies are expanding the educational possibilities of a national park beyond it's physical boundaries. Cities struggling to revive their urban cores are turning to the Park Service for expert assistance to preserve their cultural heritage, create pocket parks and green spaces, and re-energize local economies. Growing communities thirsty for recreational outlets are also working with the NPS to turn abandoned railroad tracks into bike and biking trails, as well as giving unused federal property new life as recreation centers. To help meet these challenges and take advantage of these opportunities, the National Park Service has formed partnerships - some dating back 100 years, some only months old - with other agencies, state and local governments, corporations, American Indian tribes and Alaska Natives, Park Friends groups, cooperating associations, private organizations, community groups and individuals who share the National Park ethic. National Park Week 1996 is a celebration of these partnerships. Why are America's national parks like old friends? A．Because they are always out there. B．Because they are very old. C．Because they make people feel better. D．Because they are very famous.
32、 Which of the following statements is true about uniformed rangers? A．They take tourists to national parks. B．They always act as tourist guides. C．They help set up new national parks. D．They protect the National Park System.
33、 The National Park Service does all of the following EXCEPT A．offering help to visitors. B．molding the Nation. C．keeping people better informed of the National Park System. D．helping preserve the cultural heritage.
34、 What is this passage about? A．It is about the American National Parks. B．It is about the National Park Service. C．It is about the National Park Service partnerships. D．It is about the care and preservation of the National Parks in America.
35、 What will the paragraph following this passage most probably discuss? A．The pocket parks in America. B．The preparations made for the celebration of National Park Week 1996. C．The work that has been done by the partners. D．The preservation of national resources in America.
36、回答36-50題： Play Play is the principal business of childhood, and in recent years research has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From earliest infancy, every child needs opportunity and the right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys, Their main function is to suggest, encourage and assist play. To succeed in this they must be good toys, which children will play with often, and will come back to again and again. Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child's development. In recent years research on infant development has shown that the standard a child is likely to reach, within the range of his inherited abilities. is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby's ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated. A baby who is encouraged and stimulated, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully. In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds. Every type of suitable toy should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability. Bricks and jigsaws (七巧板) and construction toys; painting, scribbling (涂鴉) and making things; sand and water play; toys for imaginative and pretending play; the first social games for learning to play and get on with others. But the third stage of playdevelopment -- from five to seven or eight years -- the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys. Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child. But once reading has been mastered, then books and school become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, they lead on to new hobbies, but their significance has changed-to a child of nice or ten years, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun. The passage tells us that as a child grows up, ____ A．he should be allowed to choose his own toys B．he should be given identical toys C．he should be given different toys D．he should be given fewer and fewer toys
37、 According to the passage, the abilities a child has inherited from his parents ____ A．determine his character B．will not change after the age of three C．partly determine the standard he is likely to reach D．to a large extent determine the choice of toys
38、 Who have the best chance of growing up successfully____? A．Those who tend to overeat. B．Those who are given a lot of toys. C．Those who are given toys, talked to and played with. D．Those who can share their toys with their playmates.
39、 We learn from the passage that a child has boundless curiosity ____ A．when he is two B．when he is around four C．when he is six D．when he is eight
40、 The passage is mainly about ____ A．the importance of pre-school education B．the importance of schooling C．the role of play in a child's development D．the choice of toys for adolescents
41、回答41-55題： I have learnt of a plan to build three hundred houses on the land called Parson's Place by the football ground. Few people know about this new plan to increase the size of our town. For me, Parson's Place is special because it is a beautiful natural area where local people can relax -the small wood has many unusual trees and the stream is popular with fishermen and bird-watchers. It's very quiet because there are few houses or roads nearby. I think that losing this area will be terrible because we have no other similar facilities in the neighbourhood. I am also against this plan because it will cause traffic problems. How will the people from the new houses travel to work? The motorway and the railway station are on the other side of town. Therefore, these people will have to drive through the town centre every time they go anywhere. The roads will always be full of traffic,there will be nowhere to park and the tourists who come to see our lovely old buildings will leave. Shops and hotels will lose business. If the town really needs more homes, the empty ground beside the railway station is a more suitable place. No doubt the builders will make a lot of money by selling these houses. But,in my opinion,the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan. As well as this,we will lose a very special place and our town will be much less pleasant. I am going to the local government offices on Monday morning to protest about this plan and I hope that your readers will join me there. We must make them stop this plan before it is too late. Why has Alan written this letter'? A．To perersuade the government to build new houses. B．To protest about a new motorway near the town. C．To encourage more people in the town to use Parson's Place. D．To inform other people about the builders' plans.
42、 Why is Persian's Place particularly important,in Alan's opinion? A．Because it is near the football ground. B．Because lots of people live near it. C．Because it is a place near the town where people can enjoy nature. D．Because local people can get there easily by car from the town.
43、 What will cause traffic jams? A．A building on Parson's Place. B．Building near the railway station. C．Tourists in the narrow streets. D．People going to the shops and hotels.
44、 Alan says that ordinary people who live in the town will probably soon A．open new shops and hotels B．choose to live near the station C．be able to buy new homes D．have less money
45、 Which of these posters has Alan made? A．Save Our Sports Ground B．Say No to Houses on Parson's Place C．We Need Homes Not Hotels D．Use the Train Not the Road 閱讀下面的短文，文章中有5處空白，文章后面有6組文字，請(qǐng)根據(jù)文章的內(nèi)容選擇5組文字，將其分別放回文章原有位置，以恢復(fù)文章原貌。請(qǐng)將答案涂在答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上。 46、回答46-50題： The first four minutes When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. In his book, "Contact: The first four minutes," he offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships: __46__. A lot of people's whole lives would change if they did just that. You may have noticed that average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he as just met.__47__. If anyone has ever done this to you, you probably did not like him very much. When we are introduced to new people, the author suggests, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general, he says, "People like people who like themselves."On the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves. It is important to appear interested and sympathetic, realizing that the other person has his won needs, fears, and hopes. Hearing such advice, one might say, "But I'm not a friendly, self-confident person. That's not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to at that way."__48__. We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. "It is like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old one."But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, "total honest" is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain about one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one's opinions and impressions. __49__. For a husband and wife or a parent and child, problems often arise during their first four minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be treated with care. If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed, they should be dealt with later. The author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. __50__ that is at least as important as how much we know. A．In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits. B．Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends. C．In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people. D．Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes. E． He keeps looking over the other person's shoulder, as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room. F． He is eager to make friends with everyone. ________
