25、 within walls of flames, cut off from firefighters.Although most of the fires have been on the Peloponnesian Peninsula, some broke out on the outskirts of Athens on Saturday, forcing the evacuation of homes and closing a major road linking the capital to the main airport for several hours. The natio

26、nal fire brigade said that by evening it had brought those blazes under control, including one that came within about six miles of the city. The country has been helpless to fire this summer because of drought and three consecutive heat waves that sent temperatures high over 100 degrees. More than 3

27、,000 forest fires have destroyed thousands of acres of wooded areas since June; the earlier fires killed nine people. The latest wave of fires on the peninsula started Friday. Strong, hot winds have spread the flames. Firefighters expect the death toll to rise, because they have not yet been able to

28、 search some areas that had been overrun by flames.Hardest hit by the fires were a dozen small villages around the town of Zaharo in the western peninsula, where at least 12 people, including some who may have been trying to flee by car, were killed. Scores of other residents, including elderly and

29、disabled people, remained trapped in their homes, phoning into local television and radio stations, crying for help.Late Saturday, Mr. Karamanlis, Prime Minister of Greece appeared on national television and declared that he was mobilizing all of the countrys resources to control the fire. Mr. Karam

30、anlis also suggested that the recent fires might have been purposely set. “So many fires sparked at the same time in so many regions is no coincidence,” he said, “We will get to the bottom of this and punish those responsible.”The overstretched national fire services are being helped by an estimated

31、 6,000 soldiers mobilized for the operation. A fleet of water-dumping aircraft was expected from France, Germany and Norway, after Greece appealed to the for “urgent assistance.”56. The writer mainly wants to tell us that _ in the passage.A. firefighters battles fearlessly in Greece to control the f

32、ireB. constant fires in Greece have caused great life and wealth loseC. Greece is facing great danger as forest fires continue to break outD. Greek government is investigating the cause of recent forest fires57. According to the passage, which of the following might not contribute to the recent fore

33、st fires in Greek? A. Storm thunders in summer B. Lack of rainfall C. Extremely hot weather this summerD. Hot and strong wind 58. We can learn from the passage that _. A. now the fire crisis in Greece has come to an endB. assistance from EU members is expected to come to help GreeceC. firefighters i

34、n Greece so far can still manage the situationD. the number of people who die in the fire is expected not to rise any more59. Mr. Karamanlis believes the forest fires in Greece _. A. is a happening by chance B. is a natural disasterC. might be caused by human on purpose D. is a punishment of nature

35、BMaking greener choices and encouraging healthy lifestyles can promote your health and benefit the environment. Here are some guidelines to follow:Choose foods thoughtfullyAmericans have never had such a variety or abundance of food to choose from. Besides so many choices, we now hear about our “foo

36、d print”, the amount of land needed to supply one persons nutritional needs for a year. Do we buy cherry tomatoes from Mexico or tomatoes grown locally in a hothouse? Do we get the Granny Smiths from the farmers market or the supermarket? Is organic produce healthier for us and the planet?These are

37、very complex issues that require analysis of many criteria, including the energy used in producing and transporting the food, as well as the type of soil and methods of raising the food.Despite the complexities, there are some general guidelines you can follow. For instance, eat less meat or eat low

38、 on the food chain. Your doctor may have recommended you to restrict your consumption of red meat because of its too much fat content. Beyond that, there are environmental reasons, too. Raising food animals contributes substantially to climate change because a meat-based diet requires more land, ene

39、rgy and water than a plant-based one._Drinking plenty of fluids is significant during hot weather or when exercising. But is bottled water the way to go? You may not think so when seeing the true costs. Based on a survey, manufacturing the 30-plus billion plastic water bottles can produce more than

40、2.5 million tons of carbon dioxide and use three times the amount of water in the bottle. Adding in transportation, the energy used comes to over 50 million barrels of oil equivalent (等价物). Consequently, skip the bottled water and drink tap water, both at home and at restaurants. Additionally, bottl

41、ed water is not necessarily cleaner than tap.60. In Paragraph 2 the author puts forward three questions mainly _.A. to prove Americans have less food to choose fromB. to show us the shopping habits of most AmericansC. to indicate Americans tend to buy food from abroadD. to remind people to reconside

42、r their food purchase61. According to the text, which of the following is true?A. Americans all prefer to buy cherry tomatoes from Mexico.B. The plant-based diet is responsible for the climate change.C. Americans have a variety of food to choose from.D. Organic produce is the only choice for America

43、ns.62. Based on the last paragraph, we know that _.A. bottled water is cleaner than tap waterB. tap water is economical as well as eco-friendlyC. bottled water is more available than tap waterD. tap water uses one-third the cost of bottled water63. What is the best subtitle for the last paragraph?A.

44、 Skip bottled water, carry tap B. Drink bottled waterC. Produce plastic water bottles D. Save water resourcesCYoure busy filling out the application form for a position you really need. Lets assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree.

45、Isnt it appealing to lie just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma represents a Harvard degree? Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University? More and more people are turning to cheat like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers, for personnel o

46、fficers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university. Registrars（登记员） at most well-known colleges say they deal with deceitful claims

47、 like these at the rate of about one per week. Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms, then. If it turns out that an applicant is lying, most colleges are unwilling to accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League school calls them cheats; another refers to them as spe

48、cial cases. One well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says that these claims are made by no such people. To avoid outright(彻底的) lies, some job-seekers claim that they attending means being dismissed after one semester. It may be that being associated with a colleg

49、e means that the job-seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the centurythats when they began keeping records, anyhow. If you dont want to lie or even stretch the truth, there a

50、re companies that will sell you a false diploma.One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of nonexistent colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from Smoot State University. The prices increase rapidly for a

51、 degree from the University of Purdue. As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper.64. The main idea of this passage is that _.A. employers are checking more closely on applicants nowB. lying about

52、 college degrees has become a widespread problemC. college degrees can now be purchased easilyD. employers are no longer interested in college degrees65. According to the passage, special cases refers to cases that _.A. students attend a school only part-timeB. students never attended a school they

53、listed on their applicationC. students purchase false degrees from commercial firmsD. students attended a famous school66. We can infer from the passage that _.A. performance is a better judge of ability than a college degreeB. experience is the best teacherC. past work histories influence personnel

54、 officers more than degrees doD. a degree from a famous school enables an applicant to gain advantage over others in job competition67. This passage implies that _.A. buying a false degree is not moralB. personnel officers only consider applicants from famous schoolsC. most people lie on application

55、s because they were dismissed from schoolD. society should be greatly responsible for lying on applicationsDArchaeologists believe they are on the turning point of throwing light on the life of William Shakespeare by excavating (发掘) what may have been the playwrights dust hole.Experts have begun exc

56、avating the ruins of New Place, Shakespeares former home in Stratford-upon-Avon, which was destroyed 250 years ago. Although little remains of the property, the team, led by Birmingham Archaeology, believes it has identified a dust hole used by the 16th century poet.Small pieces of pottery (陶瓷) and

57、broken clay pipe have already been found from a muddy hole on the site, which they claim could yield some of the most significant discoveries about Shakespeare in decades. The dig focuses on three areas of the property, which Shakespeare bought in 1597 when he returned to his home town from London h

58、aving achieved fame including the so-called knot garden at the back of the building.Dr Diana Owen, Director of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, which owns the site, said, “We do not know if the knot garden was an area used by Shakespeare it may have been a yard simply used by his servants. But this

59、 could actually yield some fantastic results, especially if it was an area where rubbish was thrown or the dust hole was located.”Kevin Colls, from Birmingham Archaeology, added, “Through documentary evidence we know Shakespeare lived at New Place but we have very little information regarding the la

60、yout (布局) of the house and gardens at this time. Through archaeological fieldwork, in particular the dig of structural remains and the recovery of artefacts, we hope to fill in the blanks.”Until October, visitors will be able to watch archaeologists and volunteers at work as they excavate the remain

61、s of the house, which was knocked down in 1759. Experts hope to unearth evidence to support theories that Shakespeare wrote many of his most famous works at the property.68.

The Grass is Singing examines unbridgeable racial conf

65、lict in colonial Africa through the eyes of a white farmers wife and her black servant.Her literary breakthrough came in 1962 with publication of The Golden Notebook, seen by many, though not necessarily Lessing, as a pioneering work of modern feminism（女权运动）.

66、in character, Anna Wulf, the novel explores her thoughts about Africa, politics, relationships with men and sex, and Jungian analysis and dream interpretation.Lessings themes changed to psychology in her works from the 1960s, and by the 1970s she was interested in the Islamic mystic tradition of Suf

67、ism（苏菲教派）. Her turn toward science fiction with the Canopus series in the early 1980s was not warmly received by traditional critics, but she has continued to be popular with new readers and numerous literary awards, including the David Cohen British Literary Prize and the Companion of Honour from t

68、he Royal Society of Literature, both in 2001.Following the announcement, the Horace Engdahl told VOA why he was personally so pleased with Lessings selection.“She is one of the truly great writers - of novels, short stories, fiction and non-fiction,” Engdahl said. “She is one of the few writers who

76、有希望地”；particularly“独特地，显著地”。44.B【解析】由下文“提醒我要坚持训练”可推知他们总是鼓励我，故选择B项。scold“责骂”，blame“谴责”，这两个词的动作对象均是犯过错误的人，与文意不符。45.C【解析】really“确实，真的”，用来加强语气，符合语境。extremely“极其，非常”，通常与形容词和副词连用；merely“仅仅，只不过”，slightly“略微，稍微”，在此语义不通。46.D【解析】根据下文“有机会在50米泳池内游泳”和参加奥运游泳赛推知，她已经来到了中国。reached for“伸出手去拿”，attach oneself to“成为的成员”

77、；depart from“从出发”；arrive in“到达”，D项切合文意。47.A【解析】根据enjoyed应选择褒义色彩的词，A、B项比较，A项句意通顺，毕竟出名不是她参加奥运会的真正目的。48.B【解析】她本次比赛的成绩是31.97秒，比她个人的最好成绩提高了7秒。49.C【解析】根据下文“it was the most beautiful moment of her life”推知，这应是她个人的最好成绩。best是名词，意为“最高记录，最高水平”。50.D【解析】broadcast“广播，播放”，publish“出版”，contain“包括”，appear“出现，登载”。只有app

78、ear可与magazine搭配。51.A【解析】receive“收到”，accept“接受”，take“接受（别人馈赠之物）”，earn“挣得，赚得（薪水、报酬等）”。A项表示收到捐款，符合文意。52.D【解析】从空格后的or winning a prize可得知答案。53.A【解析】从“her own goal”可知Nassar参加奥运就是要实现自己的目标。achieve a goal“实现目标”。54.D【解析】however difficult等于no matter how difficult (it is to achieve)。55.C【解析】作者受到鼓舞，再难的事情也变得“容易”了

79、。 64. B【解析】主旨大意题。文章第一段简要概述了求职人员在求职过程中对自己的学历弄虚作假这一社会现象，然后在第二、三段分别给出一些具体的例子进行说明，所以B正确。65. B【解析】推理判断题。由第二段中前半部分的If it turns out that an applicant is lying. school calls them cheats; another refers to them as special cases 可知，cheats和special cases指的都是编造虚假学历，所以B正确。66. D【解析】推理判断题。由文章第一段倒数第二句中的for personnel

80、 officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools可知，名牌大学的毕业生在求职过程中比其他人有优势，所以D正确。67. D【解析】推理判断题。文章讲述的是在简历中对学历弄虚作假这一问题，同时也指出，问题出现的原因是大学都很看重学历，特别是名牌大学的文凭，由此可知，这是一种社会现象，全社会对此都负有责任，所以D正确。【要点综述】本文为说明文，介绍了考古学家们开始发掘英国戏剧大师威廉莎士比亚故居的相关情况。第四部分 写作（共两节，满分45分）第一节 汉译英（共10小题，满分20分）76.
