Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the greatest resources of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our daily English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty five thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner to enjoy the richness and variety(多样性) of the English language than by studying the different ways in which Shakespeare uses it. Such a study is well worth the effort, even though some aspect(方面)of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.
However, it is surprising that we should know little about the life of the greatest English writer. We know that Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford on Avon, and that he died there in 1616. He almost certainly attended the Grammar School in the town, but of this we cannot be sure. We know he was married there in 1582 to Anne Hathaway and that he had three children. We know that he spent much of his life in London writing his works. But this is almost all that we do know.
However, what is important about Shakespeare’s life is not its details but its products, the plays and the poems. For many years, scholars(学者)have been trying to add a few facts about Shakespeare’s life to the small number we have already known and for an equally long time critics(评论家)have been writing reviews about the plays. Sometimes, it seems that the poetry of Shakespeare will disappear under a great number of reviews that has been written upon it.
Luckily this is not likely to happen. Shakespeare’s people have long pleased not just the English but lovers of literature everywhere, and will continue to do so after the scholars and critics and all their works have been forgotten.
58. The first paragraph is mainly about __________. A. the greatest resources of the English language B. the richness and variety of the English language C. the writing styles used by Shakespeare in his works
D. the rich English language used by Shakespeare in his works
59. According to the writer, which of the following remains uncertain about Shakespeare? A. His date of birth. B. His marriage. C. His life in the Grammar School. D. His date of death. 60. It can be inferred from Para 3 that __________.
A. not all the reviews on Shakespeare’s works have produced good effects B. scholars have successfully collected facts about Shakespeare’s life C. critics are more interested in Shakespeare’s plays than his poetry D. the details of Shakespeare’s life are more important than his works
61. The underlined words “Shakespeare’s people” in Para 4 refers to __________. A. the scholars and the critics

B. the English and lovers of literature
C. the people living in Shakespeare’s day D. the characters in Shakespeare’s products
(D)
Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies inside their bodies. At that time—about eight hours after you wake up—your body temperature goes down. This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern. They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that naps are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer(遭受) less from problems such as heart disease. Many working people, unfortunately, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers do not allow it!
If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making the most of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep for too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap—even ten minutes of sleep can be helpful.
62. Why do you sometimes feel sleepy in the early afternoon?
A. Because it’s very hot in summer. B. Because you eat too much for lunch. C. Because you didn’t have a good sleep last night.
D. Because your body temperature goes down at that time. 63. What advice does the writer give on taking a nap? A. If your time is limited, a short nap can also help. B. Only people in warmer climate need to take a nap.
C. You’d better take a nap about an hour after you have lunch.
D. You can sleep as long as you like so that you won’t feel tired or sleepy. 64. What can we infer(推断) from the passage?
A. You will feel less sleepy if you sleep for a long time.
B. Taking a nap whenever you want will do good to your health.
C. If you get up at 6:30 am, you’d better take a nap at about 2:30 pm. D. Sleeping for eight hours and you’ll feel sleepy a short period later. 65. What would be the best title for the text? A. Just For a Rest. B. All For a Nap. C. A Special Sleep Pattern. D. Taking Naps in Warmer Climate.

Good morning, boys and girls!
The topic of my speech today is “Learn to express thanks”. We are all students “a generation born in the 90s”. We find some students who want to eat well and wear fashionable clothes at school. When they leave school and enter society, they don’t show any sense of “Thanks”.
I think this behavior is not correct. As students, we should learn to express thanks. Because of society, we can have a chance to receive good education. And our parents also support us to go to school. Besides, it is our hardworking teachers who teach us much knowledge. We should also thank our friends for they give us courage and help overcome any difficulty.
In a word, as a generation born in the 90s, we are lucky in everything. But we should learn to express thanks. In the future, we should never forget our society, parents, teachers and so on. At present, we should study harder in order to make greater contributions to our society and only when we succeed in our jobs can we better reward our parents, teachers and so on.
Thank you for your listening!

I came to study in the US last fall. My life was quite simple when I arrived at Andover. Although I had quite a few after-class activities, I didn’t take any official leadership position. This 36 changed when I received an email from Ms Griffith, my cluster dean (宿舍楼主任), 37 that a new female DC Rep was needed. DC Rep 38 Discipline Committee Representative. 39 students living in school break serious rules, like taking drugs, getting drunk or cheating in their studies. Such students must be punished(惩罚). The punishments are 40 by a DC Rep, two student representatives(代表) and the cluster dean. I was really interested in becoming DC Rep for my cluster, Pine Knoll, 41 so were five other students. We had to hold an election and Ms Griffith asked us to write 42 to be sent to everyone in Pine Knoll.
I thought hard about what to 43 . I didn’t want to make any promises, because they are difficult to keep. I didn’t want to say I was experienced, because I was not. So I started my speech by explaining 44 I wanted to become DC Rep. “I want to serve Pine Knoll.” I wrote 45 . I made three posters that said “Vote For Teresa” and put them on every exit of my cluster so that people would 46 my name when they went to vote.
Although I tried hard, I didn’t win the election(选举). I was disappointed, but my positive nature did not allow me to 47 for very long. I actually 48 when my friends tried to comfort me. “Teresa, I am sorry that you didn’t win the election,” they would say.
“No, don’t be sorry for me. I am very happy to have taken part in the election,” I said.
It is true that the process is much more important than the 49 . I am surprised and happy to discover my hidden 50 . 36.A.school B.situation C.time D.life

On the way back from work every evening, more often than not(往往) there would be a homeless man standing at the exit of the freeway (快车道). He looked to be in his late 40s but was probably a lot younger. He had shoulder length straight black hair and a short beard.
Every day after work I would remember to gather any spare change, and put it aside to give
1 4
him if I saw him. A feeling of joy would come over me every time I saw him, while coming off the ramp(坡道). So did he. Sometimes the red light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day. His answer would always be the same, “I’m blessed!”
Then one day I was called into my boss’s office and was told that I was being laid off(解雇). For the rest of that day all I could think of was “how am I going to provide for my kids as a mother, how am I going to pay rent?”
It is clear that on my way home that day I was very sad and upset. I didn’t remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did. Yet there he was as always, as I turned the ramp. He set his eyes on me, while still smiling and waving at others as usual.
While I was waiting for the red light to turn, he strolled (闲逛) over to my car. He had a big smile. He looked at me straight in the eyes and said, “Today I will give you a dollar.” He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill.
You see that day he taught me a valuable lesson more than a dollar bill. No matter what
material things are taken from you, no one can take away your choice to be joyful. Every time I’m faced with challenges, I think of the homeless man’s valuable lesson and remember that I am blessed.
54. Why did the writer feel sad and upset after out of the boss’s office? A. Because she was criticized by the boss. B. Because a new job was offered to her. C. Because she was laid off by the boss.
D. Because there was something wrong with her job.
55. What is NOT true about the homeless man from the passage? A. He would be seen at the exit of the freeway. B. He usually smiled and waved at others. C. He had a deep impression on the writer.
D. He felt joyful only when money was offered to him.
56. The homeless man gave the writer a dollar because . A. he had collected a lot of money B. he wanted to pay her back C. he knew what she experienced D. he wanted her to be happy 57. The writer learned from the story that . A. a dollar bill will be enough to make you happy B. each of us has been blessed all the time
C. whenever it is, we should choose to help others
D. it is more than material things that bring us happiness
C
When Christie Andrews was born, she weighed less that half of one kilogram. Her heart was the size of a large coin. Her mother said Christie was so small that she could hold her in the palm of one hand.
Christie couldn’t breathe without a machine to give her oxygen. If she had been born 20 years earlier, she would probably have died at once. She needed two operations, but she survived without serious damage.
Twenty years ago , 90% of all premature(早产) babies died. Today, doctors manage to save four out of every five, because they have better machines for breathing and better ways to feed the
1 5
babies.
But saving Christie’s life cost more than $ 400,000. In some cases, doctors spend 1 million dollars saving a single child. The parents usually don’t have enough money to pay. The
government, an insurance company or the hospital picks up the bill. Even after a baby goes home from the hospital, it may require medical care.
Some people think it makes more sense to spend money saving 10 adults who have cancer or other diseases than saving one small baby. But nobody wants to be the doctor who has to tell parents to their faces, “Sorry, I won’t save your new child.”
58. Parents don’t pay their babies’ hospital bills because .
A. they don’t have enough money B. they would rather save cancer patients
C. doctors don’t care if the babies die D. it makes more sense to have a bigger baby 59. The true cost of saving a baby may be even more than 1 million because .
A. oxygen machine are expensive
B. the baby may require medical care after it leaves the hospital C. doctors always charge more than they should
D. four out of five premature babies can now be saved
60. From the story we know that saving a cancer patient .
A. is easier than saving a baby B. is harder than saving a baby C. is cheaper than saving a baby D. is more common than saving a baby 61. The main idea of the article is .
A. doctors must never decide whether to save babies or cancer patients B. doctors are able to save premature babies, but the cost is very high C. having a premature baby was cheaper and safer 20 years ago D. Christie survived because the hospital paid her bills
D
Scientists are placing robotic dogs in the homes of lonely old people to test whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert(专家) in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study on the effect of robotic dogs on old people’s depression (沮丧) , physical activity, and life satisfaction.
In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, scientists will collect baseline data(数据) for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activity before and after AIBO. Then, the scientists will review the data to test if it has produced any changes in the life of its owner. “I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice,” says a seventy-year-old lady. “When I’m watching TV, he’ll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has his own mind.”
The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The scientists say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns. “At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate(与……相关) to the robotic dog, because it was metal and not furry.” Beck says. “Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more-valuable health helper. They will record their masters’ blood pressure, oxygen levels or heart rhythms(心律). AIBOs may even one day have games that can help
1 6
stimulate(刺激) older people’s minds.”
62. The purpose of Beck and Edwards’ study is to _____________.
A. understand human-animal relationship B. make lonely old people’s life better C. find the causes of old people’s loneliness D. improve the animal-assisted research 63. In the research, the old people are asked to _____________.
A. note the activities of AIBOs B. keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeks C. record their feelings and activity D. study the collected information 64. What does the underlined word “removes” mean?
A. moves again B. is movable C. doesn’t need D. need 65. The writer seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs may__________.
A. cure certain diseases B. keep old people active C. change people’s ideas D. look more like real dogs 五、词汇运用(共10小题;每小题1分,计10分

Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to some Chinese students, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor.” I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves because of a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to enlarge their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY(准确性). Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using them to get your message across. But talk to someone in English, as quickly and well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it
1 7
doesn’t matter because the person you are speaking to will understand and forgive you for any mistakes he hears.
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth, most Chinese students are inactive rather than positive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English, they passively wait for
speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you have this positive outlook(观点), then, you will see English opportunities wherever you go.
If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget the English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more. __76__ A limited vocabulary Being afraid of making mistakes Lack of __81_ while listening Lack of positive outlook Context (内容) You have to enlarge your vocabulary. You should take a positive attitude towards __77__ English. Being shy and__78__ makes it easy to make mistakes. Fluency is more important.
