A

He was just 12 years old when he died. But he brought courage and hope to people around the world.

Nkosi Johnson, who died last June, is remembered today as an AIDS fighter. This young boy challenged his government’s AIDS policies and united millions of Sou th Africans in the fight against the disease.

Johnson was the longest surviving person born HIV positive.(艾滋病病毒呈阳性) He survived with this deadly disease for 12 years before it claimed his life.

At first, Johnson was expected to live for nine months when his foster mother (养母), Gail Johnson, took him in at the age of two. She now runs Nkosi Haven across town from her house in Melville. The Haven is home to 20 children living with HIV or AIDS, and 11 of their mothers.

Johnson attracted the world’s attention a nd stole the hearts of thousands of people across the world at the 13th International AIDS Conference in Durban in July . He stood in front of a large audience including South African President Thabo Mbeki. He told them that he wanted AZT, a drug used to treat AIDS patients, to be given HIV-positive pregnant women to prevent the disease being passed on to their unborn babies. He received a loud cheer at the end of his speech.

Johnson’s speech was broadcast live across the world. With views beyond his age and even a sense of humor, Johnson soon became an international sign of the fight against AIDS and HIV.

56. The underlined words “claimed his life” in Paragraph 3 mean _____.

A. did harm to Johnson’s health

B. helped Johnson to survive

C. cause the death of Johnson

D. made Johnson weak

57. The AIDS child gave the speech in order to _____.

A. steal the hearts of thousands of people

B. be an AIDS fighter

C. get more help from the world

D. fight against the government

58. From the passage we can infer that _____.

A. the government’s AIDS policies have to be improved

B. the government did nothing to help those with HIV positive

C. the boy’s speech changed the government’s policies

D. no other HIV positive patient lived longer than the boy

59. The best title for this passage is “______”.

A. The Sad Story of an AIDS Child

B. The Courage of an AIDS Child

C. AIDS, a Deadly Disease

D. A Hero in South Africa

B

A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. Tha t’s the finding of a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce (盎司)of salt water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.

The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.

Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But previous research has shown the level of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption(消费量) averages more than 3 ounces.

For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish.

At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day,

with more eating lean fish than fatty fish.

During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol(胆固醇) levels.

60. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The Dutch research has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease.

B. People who regularly eat fish never suffer from heart disease.

C. Heart disease causes more deaths in America than any other disease.

D. There is a low level of heart disease in such countries as Japan and Greenland.

61. The underlined words “lean fish” (paragraph 5) roughly mean “_____”.

A. large fish

B. fresh fish

C. fish that live in salt water

D. fish that have little fat

62. The passage is mainly about ______.

A. the high incidence of heart disease in some countries

B. the effect of fish eating on people’s health

C. the changes in people’s diet

D. the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures

63. We can infer from the passage that there are fewer heart disease deaths _____.

A. in Dutch

B. in America

C. in the countries with high consumption of fish

D. in the countries with good production of fish

C

How many people have I met who have told me about the book they have been planning to write but have never yet found the time? Far too many.

This is Life, all right, but we do treat it like a rehearsal (排演) and, unhappily, we do miss so many of its best moments.

We take jobs to stay alive and provide homes for our families always making ourselves believe that this style of life is merely a temporary state of affairs along the road to what we really want to do. Then, at 60 or 65, we are suddenly presented with a clock and several grandchildren and we look back and realize that all those years waiting for Real Life to come along were in fact real life.

In America they have a saying much laughed at by the English：“Have a nice day”. They speak slowly and seriously in their shops, hotels and sandwich bars. I think it is a wonderful phrase, reminding us, in fact, to enjoy the moment: to value this very day.

How often do we say to ourselves, "I'll take up horse-riding (or golf, or sailing) as soon as I get a higher position," only to do none of those things when I do get the higher position.

When I first became a reporter I knew a man who gave up a very well paid respectable job at the Daily Telegraph to go and edit a small weekly newspaper. At the time I was astonished by what appeared to me to be his completely abnormal (反常的) mental state. How could anyone turn his back on Fleet Street in central London for a small local area? I wanted to know.

Now I am a little older and possibly wiser, I see the sense in it. In Fleet Street the man was under continual pressure. He lived in an unattractive London suburb and he spent much of his life

sitting on Southern Region trains.

64. The first paragraph of the passage tells us that .

A. we always try to find some time to write a book

B. we always make plans but seldom accomplish them

C. we always enjoy many of life's best moments

D. we always do what we really want to do

65. The underlined phrase "turn his back on" (paragraph 6) most probably means .

A. leave for

B. return to

C. give up

D. rely on

66. The man ( paragraph 6) left his first job partly because he was .

A. in an abnormal mental state

B. under too much pressure

C. not well paid

D. not respected

67. What is probably the best title for the passage?

A. Provide Homes For Our Family

B. Take Up Horse-riding

C. Value This Very Day

D. Stay Alive

D.

第二节：七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

提示:本题答案写在答题纸上

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently. _ _71

First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. _ 72 The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from https://www.360docs.net/doc/fc7475795.html,. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.

Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated （受阻）by limited understanding. __ 73__

Here is some of the advice I give my students:

●Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.

●Stay relaxed when you do not understand, an d try listening to the material for more times.

● Do not translate everything into your native language.

● __74___ Don’t concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas.

● Listen to something you enjoy.

I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion. 75 Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn’t pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.

A.But you can’t follow a native English speaker at all!

B.What should you do?

C.But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!

D.However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany.

E.So, what you need to do is to find listening resources.

F.Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.

G.Listen for the general idea of the conversation.

【参考答案】

December 10,Sunday Fine The students in our class planned to go outing to the Xihu Park. We got there early in the morning so that we could row boats on the Xihu Lake. But as soon as we arrived at the lake，we found a nice bag which contains a camera，a passport and a lot of money in it. With the help of a policeman we found the owner，Mr. Woodhead，a foreign friend after two and a half hours. Seeing his bag，he was very glad and grateful to us.

Though we didn’t row boats on the lake，we were very happy to help others.
