18、项. 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A Though the Web is becoming increasingly popular, the TV never fails to attract people. Do you know which television network is the largest in America? It is not ABC, CBS, or Fox. Nor is it one of the cable net-works such as CNN, which carries only news and news stories. It is not ES

19、PN, the all-sports cable net-work, or even MTV, which is famous for its music videos. Rather it is PBS, Public Broadcasting System, a non-profit public broadcasting TV service. PBS has 349 member television stations in the U. S. and some member stations by cable in Canada. PBS only attracts a minori

20、ty of all TV viewers, about 2 percent. The industry leader, NBC, however, attracts 11 percent of viewers. But the growth of public television in the past two decades has been dramatic. This is especially noteworthy(值得关注) when one considers that public television stations must often survive on very l

21、imited budgets, on viewers donations, and on private foundations and some governmental funding. The level of quality of PBS programs, whether in national and international news, entertainment, or education, is excellent. Almost a whole generation of children throughout the world is familiar with Ses

22、ame Street and the characters of The Muppet Show. PBS is especially well known for the quality of its many educational TV programs. Over 95 percent of all public television stations have tele-courses. These courses are accepted and supported by more than 1, 800 colleges and universities throughout t

23、he US. Each year, over a quarter of a million students take courses this way. 【小题1】According to this article, PBS received part of its funding from_. A. the audience B. public schoolsC. advertising agencies D. other television stations【小题2】What is PBS most famous for?A. Cable services. B. Generous d

24、onations. C. Tele-courses. D. Live news broadcasts. 【小题3】Which of the following is TRUE about public television stations?A. The majority of their viewers are minority people. B. Ninety-five percent of their programs are tele-courses. C. They are shrinking in number because they make no profits. D. T

25、heir courses are accepted by many universities in America. 【小题4】Which of the following has the highest percentage of viewers?A. ABC B. PBS C. NBC D. FoxB My old digital camera broke down, so I wanted to buy a new one. Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the Net, spent 1

26、5 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy. I pointed at it and asked an assistant, Can I have

27、one of those? He looked perturbed(不安). Do you want to try it first? he said. It didnt quite sound like a question. Do I need to? I replied, Theres nothing wrong with it. This made him look a bit offended and I started to feel bad. No, no. But you should try it, he said encouragingly, compare it with

28、 the others. I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have

29、 to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly H into account at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop, it would be worth half w

30、hat I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model. But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choice. In the end, I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant s

31、eemed a sincere man. So I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard, show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers. and when he started to introduce the special features, I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well. Why do we think that n

32、ew options still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.【小题1】The shop assistant insisted that the writer should _. A. trust him and stop asking questionsB

33、. try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with itC. get more information about different companiesD. compare the camera he had chosen with the others【小题2】What does the writer mean by it would be worth half what I paid for it(Paragraph 2)?A. He should get a 50% discount. B. The price of the

34、 camera would soon fall. C. The quality of the camera was not good. D. The price of the camera was unreasonably high. 【小题3】The writer decided to try the model he had chosen because he _. A. knew very little about itB. wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the bestC. didnt trust the shop assi

35、stantD. had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers【小题4】It can be inferred from the passage that in the writers opinion, _. A. we waste too much money on camerasB. cameras have become an important part of our daily lifeC. we dont actually need so many choices when buying a produ

36、ct D. famous companies care more about profit than qualityC People laugh and people cry. But it is thought that emotions such as anger, or joy, typically make Americans feel uncomfortable and embarrassed. The shedder of tears(落泪者) is likely to apologize, even when a great tragedy was the cause. The

37、observer of tears is likely to do everything possible to put an end to the emotional tears. But judging from recent studies of crying behavior, both those responses to tears are often inappropriate and may even be counterproductive (适得其反). Humans are the only animals clearly known to shed emotional

38、tears. Since evolution has given rise to few purposeless physiological responses, it is logical to assume that crying has one or more functions that increase survival. Although some observers have suggested that crying is a way to ask for assistance form others (as a crying baby might from its mothe

39、r), the shedding of tears is hardly necessary to get help. Vo-cal (出声的) cries would have been quite enough, more likely than tears to gain attention. So, it appears that there must be something special about tears themselves. Indeed, the new studies suggest that emotional tears may play a direct rol

40、e in easing stress. University of Minnesota researchers who are studying the chemical composition of tears have recently separated two important chemicals from emotional tears. Both chemicals are found only in tears that are shed in response to emotion. Tears shed because of exposure to cut onion wo

41、uld contain no such substance. Other researchers are looking into the usefulness of tears as a means of diagnosing human ills and monitoring drugs. At Tulane Universitys Teat Analysis Laboratory Dr. Peter Kastl and his colleagues report that they can use tears to detect drug abuse, to study the caus

42、es of dry eye syndrome(综合症) and the effects of eye surgery, and perhaps even to measure exposure to environmental pollutants. 【小题1】What does the phrase both those responses in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Crying out of sorrow and shedding tears for happiness. B. The embarrassment and unpleasant feelings

43、of the observers. C. Linking illness with crying and finding the chemical composition of tears. D. The tear shedders apology and the observers effort to stop the crying. 【小题2】It is known from the first paragraph that_. A. shedding tears gives unpleasant feelings to AmericansB. crying may often resul

44、t in tragedyC. crying usually wins sympathy from other peopleD. one who sheds tears in public will be blamed【小题3】What does the author say about crying?A. It is a pointless physiological response to the environment. B. It must have a role to play in man s survival. C. It is meant to get attention and

45、 assistance. D. It usually produces the desired effect. 【小题4】From the passage we can infer that_. A. it is unnatural for people to shed tearsB. we can reduce our stress by shedding tearsC. shedders of tears can t get help by crying loudlyD. unlike animals, humans can shed tears for survivalD Wheneve

46、r people think of charity, the first word that jumps into their mind may be money donated to the needy. However, Wugging, or web-use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user. By using Everyclick. com, which is being added to a number of university computers across the UK

47、, students can raise money every time they search, but it wont cost them a penny. Research shows that students are extremely enthusiastic about supporting charity-88% of full time students have used the Internet to give to charity. This figure is high considering this age group is often the least li

48、kely to have their own income. 19% of 22 to 24 year olds have short-term debts of more than & 5, 000. With rising personal debt levels in this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings, traditional methods of donating to charity are often not appeali

49、ng or possible. Beth Truman, a 21-year-old recent university graduate, has used Everyclick. com to donate to her chosen charity, the RSPCA, for two years and has seen the Wugging grow in popularity with students. When youre at university you become more socially aware, but its sometimes hard to give

50、 to others when you have little money yourself, says Beth. Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny. Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive b

51、ut dont feel they have the means to do so. Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without costing them anything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding. Everyclick. com works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for infor

52、mation, news and images but users can decide which of the UKs 170, 000 charities they would like to support through their clicks. Everyclick. com then makes monthly payments to every registered charity. Launched in June 2005, Everyclick. com is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the bus

53、iest charity websites in the UK. 【小题1】According to the passage, Wugging is actually_.A. a charity-related action B. a websiteC. a school organization D. a student movement【小题2】In the case of charity, Everyclick. com_. A. receives much money from students B. frees students of the financial worriesC.

54、offers valuable information to students D. praises students for their money-raising【小题3】From the passage, we can conclude that_.A. most full time students do charity on the Internet every dayB. Everyclick. com is the busiest charity website in the UKC. Everyclick. com helps students pay for further

55、educationD. Wugging is a win-win idea for both students and charities【小题4】What would be the best title for the passage?A. Wugging, a popular term on the InternetB. Students collect money for charity by WuggingC. More British charities benefit from the InternetD. Charity enjoys increasing popularity

56、with the BritishE People talk about energy everywhere. Green energy, for example. Then, energy independence. It has a nice ring to it. Doesnt it? If you think so, youre not alone, because energy independence has been the dream of American president for decades, and never more so than in the past few

57、 years, when the most recent oil price shock has been partly responsible for kicking off the great recession(经济衰退). Energy independence and its rhetorical(修辞的) companion energy security are, however, unreliable concepts that are rarely thought through. What is it that we want independence from, exac

58、tly? Most people would probably say that they want to be independent from imported oil. But there are reasons that we buy all that oil from elsewhere. The first reason is that we need it to keep our economy running. Yes, there is a trickle(涓涓细流) of biofuel(生物燃料) available, and more may become availa

59、ble, but most biofuels cause economic waste and environmental destruction. Second, Americans have basically decided that they dont really want to produce all their own oil. They value the environmental quality they preserve over their oil imports from abroad. Vast areas of the United States are off-

60、limits to oil exploration and production in the name of environmental protection. To what extent are Americans really willing to tolerate the environmental influence of domestic(国内的) energy production in order to cut back imports? Third, there are benefits to trade. It allows for economic efficiency

61、, and when we buy things from places that have lower production costs than we do, we benefit. And although you dont read about this much, the United States is also a large exporter of oil products, selling about 2 million barrels of petroleum products per day to about 90 countries. There is no quest

62、ion that the United States imports a great deal of energy and, in fact, relies on that steady flow to keep its economy stable. When that flow is interrupted, we feel the pain in short supplies and higher prices. At the same time, we get massive economic benefits when we buy the most affordable energ

63、y on the world market and when we engage in energy trade around the world. 【小题1】What does the author say about energy independence for America?A. It sounds very attractive. B. It ensures national security. C. It will bring oil prices down. D. It will protect the environment. 【小题2】Why does America re

64、ly heavily on oil imports?A. It wants to expand its storage of raw oil. B. Its own oil reserves are quickly running out. C. Its own oil production falls short of demand. D. It wants to keep its own environment untouched.【小题3】What does the author say about oil trade?A. It improves economic efficiency

65、. B. It makes for economic recession. C. It brings benefit only to the sellers. D. It saves the cost of oil exploration. 【小题4】What is the authors purpose in writing the passage?A. To explain the increase of international oil trade. B. To raise Americans awareness of the energy crisis. C. To argue fo

66、r Americas dependence on oil imports. D. To stress the importance of energy protection. 第卷 （非选择题共35分）第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节 任务型读写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。 What makes people successful? Take a look around and talk to your friends and seniors who are very successful

When they find something needs to be done, they never hesitate to do it. They believe that responsibility is taken, not given. They weigh imme

68、diately what has to be done and then do it with pleasure thus strengthening their reputation. Successful people do things with great enthusiasm, especially when they believe in what they are doing. They are motivated by their own satisfaction and the joy they get from doing their work. They work har

69、d even when no one is watching and they devote themselves to their work. They do not fear failure. Failures and disappointments in life are unavoidable. It is failure that teaches us much more than success. Successful people pick themselves up after a fall and try again with more determination and c

70、ommitment and learn from each failure. They associate with those they can learn from and enjoy the company of those appreciating their achievement. Having good IQ often gets a person what he wants but its really the EQ that keeps him there and helps him enjoy a high reputation. Successful people are

71、 polite to everyone and treat others with respect. By giving respect to others, they command respect for themselves. Another important quality of successful persons is that they never complain. Its better to praise others and win favor with them. So instead of complaining about a situation, successf
