阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从21～30各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

The earliest films were short, _21_only one minute or less. People could , for one cent, see simple action films of trains, fire engines, crowds on city streets, and similar subjects. Soon 20-minute pictures of news items were shown in theatres at the end of the _22_ stage show. Later, film used a new method--putting the beginning of one scene upon the _23_ of the scene before--for magical effects and to _24_ a story together. In 1903 a film was made about a train robbery. Much of the action took place at the same time—the robbers _25_, the men meeting and planning to catch them—and the scenes went smoothly from one scene to another instead of

unnaturally showing each scene _26_. This was the earliest successful film in which scenes were filmed at different places and times.

Before 1910 actors were _27_ in films without their names being given, because the producers were afraid that, if an actor became well known, he might _28_ more money. But later it became known that a film with a _29_ actor in it could be sold at a higher price to theatre owners than a film in which the actor was not known. Soon ―movie stars‖ won fame wherever films were shown. By 1915 the more popular stars were _30_ as much as $ 2,000 a week.

21. A. keeping B. leaving C. lasting D. starting

22. A. old B. early C. regular D. interesting

23. A. beginning B. subject C. middle D. end

24. A. tie B. supply C. lay D. match

25. A. gathering B. threatening C. checking D. escaping

26. A. separately B. seriously C. terribly D. successfully

27. A. organized B. trained C. promised D. employed

28. A. save B. demand C. figure D. introduce

29. A. highly-paid B. luckily C. familiar D. popular

30. A. earning B. paying C. taking D. spending

第二节：语法填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分）

阅读下面短文，根据上下文填入适当的词语，或使用括号中的词语的适当形式填空，并将答案填写在答题卡上标号为31-40的相应位置。

On keeping a Diary in English

Keeping a diary in English is one of the _31_ (effect) ways to improve our English writing ability.

_32_ (compare) with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes _33_ time. It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. _34_ we persist in this practice, gradually we’ll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many _35_. In the first place, _36_ often happens that we have trouble finding appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. _37_ it is extremely hard for us to put them into English properly.

As far as I _38_ (concern), my suggestion is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is _39_ great use to keep a diary in English for _40_ development of our writing skills.

When skateboarding started in the 1960s, skateboards were made of wood and had clay wheels. Since the wheels did not grip concrete well, riders could do very few tricks with them. Soon people lost interest in the sport.

In 1973, though, a new wheel was invented in California. It was made of a plastic called urethane (氨基甲酸酯). A skateboard with these wheels moved very quickly and it also gripped the concrete well.

During the next few years skateboards were further improved. The urethane was perfected, and because the boards were shaped better, riders liked them better. These skateboards gave new life to skateboarding.

The streets were not safe for skateboarding, although it was easy to ride on the streets. As a result, skateboard parks sprang up. The first parks appeared in California and Florida. At first there were only outdoor parks that had concrete slopes with small curves (曲线). Then more exciting parks appeared which had steep downward slopes, banked curves, and vertical walls. Today, there are both indoor and outdoor parks.

In most of these parks riders must wear helmets as well as knee and elbow pads. This gear can prevent a fall from causing serious injury.

Whenever they ride, people should always use this safety equipment, and they should learn how to fall safely. Many accidents happen during the first week of riding so it is very important that riders be taught well.

41. Why were the new skateboards more popular?

A. They were safer than the older ones.

B. The older models were expensive.

C. They were stronger than the older ones.

D. People could do more tricks with them.

42. The underlined word ―grip‖ in the first paragraph means ―________‖.

A. move over a surface without slipping

B. stick to

C. replace

D. break down

43. Skateboard parks developed because ________.

A. parents decided it would be a good idea

B. too many accidents happened on the streets

C. many streets did not allow skateboarding

D. most city parks did not allow skateboarding

44. Which of the following statements about skateboard parks is TRUE?

A. The first parks appeared in Scotland and Florida.

B. The earlier parks had steep slopes.

C. In the parks people don't have to wear helmets.

D. At first there weren't any indoor parks.

45. The most important rule in a skateboard park might be ―________‖

A. Do not speed!

B. Leave the park by

C. Take care of your personal things!

D. Wear safety equipment.

B

In the past ten years, America’s National Basketball Association (NBA) has grown increasingly dependent on the rest of the world to supply players.

When Michael Jordan and Larry Bird won gold in Barcelona in 1992, the Americans were praised for teaching the world how to play basketball. This season, however, 20 percent of NBA rosters (花名册) will be filled by non-Americans. NBA commissioner David Stem happily embraces the trend. On a visit to Paris in October, Stern outlined his vision for the future, which is likely to see Europe hosting NBA games by 2010.

The NBA is now planning to take China by storm.

―Our experience in China has been that it is going to be explosive in its growth,‖ said Stern. The strategy in China is television. ―We’ve made 14 deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite.‖ The success of Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for the NBA marketing blitz in China. The NBA, which is broadcasted in more than 200 countries in 42 languages, will put that to the test in October 2004 when the Houston Rockets play two pre-season games against the Sacramento Kings in Beijing and Shanghai. The NBA knows that it needs a global market to compensate for tough times on home soil.

―It doesn’t matter where the players come from, all the NBA teams now know that they have to scout (寻找) internationally,‖said Terry Lyons, the NBA’s vice-president of international public relations. ―It has increased the level of competition here.‖ As Frenchman Tony Parker and Argentine Emanuel Ginobili showed in winning championship rings with the San Antonio Spurs last season, many people can earn the respect of their American peers. Others, such as the Houston Rockets’ Chinese centre Yao Ming — number one draft pick in 2002 —and the Detroit Pistons’18-year-old Serb Darko Milicic —number two overall in this year’s draft —are icons (偶像) in-waiting. It is the ultimate (根本的) revolution —the rest of the world teaching the US how to play basketball.

46. According to the report, ___.

A. Michael Jordan is still playing a very important role in NBA

B. the part played by the foreign players in NBA will be great

C. Yao Ming is to play two pre-season games in NBA

D. European countries will host the 2004 NBA games

47. The underlined phrase ―take China by storm‖ has the meaning of ___.

A. NBA intends to make China its ―marketing center‖

B. NBA is planning to set up some training centers in China

C. there’ll be a big storm when NBA comes to China to play against the Sacramento Kings

D. the NBA’s live basket games will be broadcasted on all the TVs in China

48. What seems to be the biggest change that is happening to NBA?

A. NBA is expecting more foreign players to join the league.

B. China’s rapid development in sports affects NBA.

C. Yao Ming has taken the place of Michael Jordan.

D. The NBA will stop teaching the world how to play basketball.

49. When the writer talked of ―home soil‖, he was referring to __.

A. farms in the States

B. native Americans

C. the NBA training center

D. the USA

50. Which of the following can be used as the best title for the passage?

A. The Non-American Basketball Players

B. NBA Is Coming to China

C. The Foreign Ties That Bind the NBA

D. NBA Is Making Big Progress

C

When you save money in a bank account, an interest-bearing checking account or a certificate of deposit -CD, you’re lending that bank your money. The bank uses that money - in fact, borrowing money from you and paying you interest for the right to use your money to lend to

someone else.

Of course, the bank then charges that borrower an even higher interest rate to more than the interest it’s paying the lender. Interest is computed as a percentage of the amount of the loan (贷款).

Here are examples to compute interest.

You may see a $10,000 CD with a 5-percent annual interest rate, which is yearly，but right next to it is the annual percentage yield (收益) number and it’s higher.

The difference between rate and yield is determined by how frequently interest is paid, and how it is paid.

If you have a CD with a 5-percent nominal (名义上的) rate, then interest is calculated by multiplying 5 percent by the amount invested and by the part of year the money is invested.

Let’s say interest pays annually. A $ 10, 000 investment will earn $ 500 in interest. ($ 10, 000 ×5 percent×1 year) When an investment (投资) pays interest annually, its rate and its yield are the same.

If the 5 percent CD paid interest semiannually, the six-month interest payment would be $ 250 ($ 10,000×5 percent×0.5 years). The $ 250 payment starts earning interest and earns $6.25 in interest during the next six months ($250×5 percent×0.5 years).

The first CD earned $ 500 in interest after a year and the second CD earned $ 506.25 in the interest. The rate and yield on the first CD is 5 percent. The rate on the second CD is 5 percent, but its yield is 5.06 percent. If interest was paid daily, the rate would be 5 percent but the yield would be 5.13 percent.

These yield computations show that interest is invested in CD at the CD’s nominal rate.

51. What is the main purpose of the bank to deposit people’s money?

A. To keep for future use.

B. To make loans.

C. To lend it to the needed.

D. To manage the bank.

52. Which of the following flowcharts (流程图) best describes bank management?

A. lender←pay interest to←bank→take higher interest from→borrower.

B. lender←pay higher interest to←bank→take interest from→borrower.

C. bank→match the lender and the borrower→take interest from both.

D. borrower→take interest from→lender→pay interest to→bank.

53. What can be concluded about investment?

A. The rate is more than the yield when the investment pays interest every two years.

B. The rate equals to the yield when the investment pays interest every half year.

C. The more frequently interest is paid, the higher the yield is.

D. The more frequently interest is paid, the lower the yield is.

54.According to the nominal rate of the semiannual compounding interest, how much would be the six-month interest for a $ 150,000 CD customer?

A.$3759.375

B. $ 375

C. $7510

D. $ 3750

55.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Rate.

B. Yield.

C. Interest.

D. Saving account.

The Importance of a Good Education

Getting a good education may be the most important price you can pay, because, perhaps more than anything else, what you do with that huge gray material between your ears will determine your future. These words actually describe millions of people worldwide who choose to limit their potential ability by not widening their education.

A person much more likely to have better job offers, ,more successful career, and a higher yearly salary with a better education. This, in turn. would allow for much better life style. For example, compare two people. The first person is a high school dropout(退学学生). The second has a law degree. The high school dropout will be fortunate to get a job in food services, making less than twenty thousand dollars a year, barely surviving each week. To contrast this , the person with the law degree will certainly have a successful career as a lawyer, making over $ 70,000 annually. The lawyer will, of course , have a very wealthy lifestyle. Statistics show that high school dropouts make 42% less money than college graduates.

Our generation will become the doctors, lawyers, teachers and leaders of tomorrow. To do this successfully, a higher level of education is very important! A higher education will mean a better life style, a better ability to adjust to new technologies, and a various life. Our world cannot afford any unused potential.

We must crave learning. This, in turn, will pay for not only our future but also will help to insure success for those who follow.

[写作内容]

1．概括短文的内容要点，该部分的字数大约30词左右；

2．就“受良好的教育的重要性”这个主题发表你的看法，至少包含以下的内容要点，该部分的字数大约120词左右：

a) 人人能读好书, 顺利升学, 比什么都重要；

b) 人人都能接受与其自身条件和未来发展相适应的教育；

c) 高质量的就业就是良好教育的成果体现;

d) 你是如何看待接受教育的?

Out-of –Class Activities in Our School

There is one period of out-of-class activities in our school, which is held from 4:10 to 5:00 p.m. every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. We have all kinds of activities, including sports, reading, drawing, playing musical instruments, playing English games and so on. Of all the activities computer, drawing and guitar are the most popular. However, we students hope that we can have more time of our out-of-class activities with less homework. What’s more, our school may organize us to go out of our school so that we can know more about our society.

A good education may have an essential part of one’s life. A person is much more likely to have better job offers, a more successful career, and a higher yearly salary with a better education.

So it is important for new generation who wants to obtain an ideal career and salary, to get a higher level education. As it is stated above, the first person is a high school dropout and the second has a law degree.

Education has become an important part of our life. Schooling begins in early childhood and ends at the end of teenage. In fact, the college and postgraduate levels are expanding most rapidly. If everyone can do well in all subjects at school, and enter higher school smoothly, it is more important than anything. They can accept the education that adapts with their own condition and their future development. After graduation everyone gets the employment of a high quality it means a good educational achievement. But I think only adequate money can guarantee good education.
