Pesticides are chemicals that are intended to protect food plants against insects and blight (枯萎病) from disease. ()ne of the first, and most effective, modern pesticides is called Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane, better known as DDT. It was developed during World War Two

and originally used against mosquitoes that carried malaria ( ), as well as other diseases spread by insects.

After the war, DDT began to be widely used as an agricultural insecticide. It was extremely effective and its popularity grew. After a while, however, some problems appeared. Many species of insect developed resistance to DDT, and the chemical was also discovered to be very dangerous to fish. It ran off from the land and poisoned many rivers.

Rachel Carson, in her 1962 book Silent Spring , gave a sharp warning about the dangers of using DDT. The book questioned the abundant use of chemicals before their effects on vegetation c植被) , wildlife, and human health are fully understood. Many people were influenced by Carson's book. Her views were eventually accepted, and DDT was banned in the United States in 1973. Most other countries followed, and it has rarely been used since.

Now, some critics of the ban point out that malaria kills two million people a year in Africa. Continuing to ban DDT, they say, endangers large numbers of people who are not fortunate enough to live in malaria-free countries. A recent article in a medical journal argues that efforts to control malaria should include greater use of DDT because it is the cheapest and most effective method.

49. DDT was probably first used in the .

A.1920s

B.1940s

C.1960s

D.1980s

50. What was N()T a problem caused by DDT?

A. It killed a lot of fish.

B. Insects developed resistance to it.

C. It poisoned rivers.

D. It caused insects to increase.

51. What was an effect of Rachel Carson's book?

A. DDT was forbidden in many countries.

B. People fully understood the effects of DDT.

C. A new type of DDT was developed.

D. A solution to DDT was developed.

52. The passage challenges Carson's view by saying that _ .

A. a ban on DTT did not solve the problem of water pollution

B. it has been confirmed that DDT is beneficial to health

C. Banning DDT will expose large numbers of people to malaria

D. scientists have found that insects do not develop resistance to DDT

C

It is the combination of music and motion. And its history may be as long as the history of the human race. Dance is a means of self-expression, a method of communication, a part of religious ceremonies, or just a way to have fun. It may be the oldest of the arts, and is certainly one of the most popular. People dance in every culture and society in the world.

Egypt was one of the first major civilizations to pour into its society with the magic of dance. It was a vital element in religious festivals. The same was true of ancient Greece. The famous philosopher Aristotle also regarded dancing as a type of poetry. He described certain dancers as having the ability to express action and emotion.

Dance became a form of high art in Europe with the development of ballet during the 16th century. Beginning in Italy, ballet moved on to France. Choreography (舞蹈艺术) took on great diversity as new themes were explored and presented. By the 1800s, ballet had moved into the age of Romanticism, and ballet themes drew upon human emotions, fantasies and spiritual elements.

This was also the time when social dancing came to the forefront of European life. Dances

such as the waltz, which had only been performed by nobles and royalty before, became popular among ordinary people. The waltz stood for a freedom of expression and movement that was influenced by political and social change in Europe at that time.

53. Aristotle once considered dancing as _____

A. a method of communication

B. a way to have fun

C. a type of poetry

D. a part of religious ceremonies

54. Ballet started in

A. France

B. Italy

C. Russia

D. Greece

55. The functions of dance mentioned in the passage do not include .

A. expressing

B. communicating

C. having fun

D. making profit

56. Based on the passage, which description of waltz is NOT true?

A. It represents freedom of expression.

B. It's a social dance popular with the ordinary people.

C. It influenced political and social changes in Europe.

D. It used to be a privilege of the noble and royal families.

D

There are a number of popular myths about learning to speak English as a foreign language. Many learners take them for granted in spite of clear evidence that suggests they may not be true.

One of the widely held beliefs is that native speakers make the best conversation partners. This is not true. Illogical as it may seem, researchers are telling us that native speakers are not necessarily the best partners for language learners to talk with. The best partners in many ways may be other learners like themselves. The main reason is interaction with native speakers is far from ideal, especially for lower level learners. There is little negotiation (商谈) of what is said, as native speakers tend to control speaking time, while learners often accept confusion silently in an effort to be polite and not show their ignorance. On the other hand, when talking to other non-native speakers, they dare to question and negotiate meaning. There is also equal opportunity for participants to exchange more information and language freely.

Another concentration is the desire to speak like a native. Many English learners believe they should learn "standard English" in order to acquire accent-free speech. Not only is this a wrong assumption, it is also an unrealistic goal for most learners to aim for it. The fact is native speakers don't speak the same variety of English, and there is no such thing as a standard version of English. And even if there is, it is almost impossible for learners, once they pass a certain age, to get rid of the accent of their mother tongue. All things considered, there is really no good reason to "sound like a native".

Most students also think that if they go to an English-speaking country, they will pick up the language without much effort. What they don't know is that plenty of learners acquire a foreign language without leaving their home country. And similarly, the opposite is often true: Some learners never progress beyond a certain level of proficiency despite years of exposure. Natural immersion alone does not guarantee success. Simply put, the keys to success in learning a language are still the good old-fashioned time and effort.

57. What is a good title for the passage?

A. Practice Makes Perfect

B. How to learn Standard English

C. Challenging Native Speaker Myths

D. The Advantages of Studying Abroad

58. For lower level learners, the author suggests____.

A．studying abroad

B. controlling speaking time

C. talking to non-native speakers

D. practicing with a native speaker

59. In the last paragraph, the term "natural immersion" refers to____

A. learning to negotiate meaning

B. interaction with non-native speakers

C. finding opportunities to speak English

D. living in the target language environment

60. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Most learners desire to speak like a native.

B. Interactions with native speakers are far from ideal.

C. It's not necessary to leave motherland for a foreign language.

D. Living or studying abroad is bound to help learners acquire the language.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从下框的A～F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。

Traveling the world and exploring new places can change your life. The five ways of being a traveler can make you lead a happier and healthier life.

61.

Meeting new people is one of the great upsides of traveling. Whether it's chatting up your hostel roommate, making small talk with your seat-mate on a train or having a lively discussion at a local bar, you will be forced to improve your social skills (especially if you're traveling by yourself). If new situations tend to make you anxious, traveling is a sure way to take steps toward reducing that anxiety.

62.

Taking time off is an obvious way to recharge and reduce stress levels. But while staying home and resting is a worthy use of your time off, traveling removes you from your everyday life and lets you truly escape. Traveling lets you put aside your daily responsibilities and focus on yourself for a moment. When you return home, you'll feel refreshed and have the motivation you felt used up before you left.

63.

Having a travel "to-do" list and slowly crossing things off that list keep you motivated and positive. That list can include things like visiting certain locations or accomplishing a feat such as climbing a mountain or becoming conversational in the language of your next destination.

64.

Once you catch the adventure travel bug, you'll never be the same. Let's say while traveling you get attracted to taking a hike with beautiful views. You go, it's not too laborious and the experience takes your breath away. Now you want more-harder hikes with even better pay-off. While home, you exercise and prepare for more challenging hikes. You're healthier and fitter than ever and you get to look forward to accomplishing new goals.

60.

Travel can involve a lot of waiting. You'll wait in lines. You'll wait for flights. You'll wait at restaurants. Learning how to cope with those waits, how to make conversation with those you're waiting with and how to stay calm in frustratingly slow situations will teach you how to remain patient and calm m all situations.
