40、 who caught a golden fish, released it, and in return gained wealth and happiness. According to a 1998 Associated Press story, this Balkan fairy tale turned into reality for one poor family. Before the start of the Bosnian war, the Malkoc family lived next to a small lake in the northwestern village

41、 of Jezero. One day in 1990, Smajo Malkoc returned from a trip to Austria with an unusual gift for his teenage sons, Dzevad and Catib: an aquarium(鱼缸) with two goldfish. Two years passed before Bosnian Serb forces advanced on Jezero.The women and children fled, and the men stayed back to resist the

42、attacking soldiers. Smajo Malkoc was killed. When his wife, Fehima, sneaked back into the destroyed village to bury her husband and rescue what remained of their belongings, she took pity on the fish in the aquarium. She let them out into the nearby lake, saying to herself, “This way, they might be

43、more fortunate than us.” Fast-forward to 1995, Fehima Malkoc returned with her sons to Jezero. Nothing but ruins remained of their home and their village. Through misty eyes she looked toward the lake. Glimpsing something strange, she walked over to the shore. “The whole lake was shining from the th

44、ousands of golden fish in it,” she said. “It made me immediately think of my husband. This was something he left me that I never hoped for.”During the years of killing all around the lake, life underwater had flourished. After their return, Fehima Malkoc and her sons started caring for and selling t

45、he goldfish. By 1998, homes, stores, and coffee shops all over the region feature aquariums containing fish from Jezero. The Malkoc house, rebuilt on its original site, is one of the biggest in the village. Two new cars are parked in front, and the family says it has enough money to quit worrying ab

46、out the future. “ It was a special kind of gift from our father,” Dzevad Malkoc said. Whenever one gives, one can never underestimate what a gift of love or an act of kindness might produce.65.

58、er life. A paper to be developed at the international congress of cognitive psychotherapy(认知心理疗法) in Gothenburg suggests a link between the attitudes of women abused by their parents and early exposure to the wrong sort of fairy tales. It says girls who identified with Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beaut

59、y in Beauty and the Beast were more likely to say in destructive relationships as adults.The theory was developed by Susan Darker Smith, a psychotherapist at the University of Derby. She interviewed 67 female abuse survivors and found that 61 put up with serial abuse because they believed they could

60、 change their partners and with patience, composition and love. Hardly any of the women in a control group, who had not experienced abuse, thought they could change their partners in this way.The same view was taken by male survivors who had been abused as children. These women and men said they wou

61、ld leave a relationship rather than put up with abuse from a partner. Ms Darker Smith found the abused women were much more likely to identify with Cinderella and other submissive female characters in fairytales, who were later rescued by a stranger prince or hero.Although most girls heard the stori

62、es, damage appeared to be done to those who adopted the submissive characters as role models. “They believe if their love is strong enough they can change their parents behaviors, she said.” Overexposure in children to stories that emphasize the transformational qualities of love may make women beli

63、eve they can damage their partners.” For example, they might never have understood the obvious flaw(缺点) in the story of Rapunzel, who remained locked in a high tower until rescued by a knight on a white horse, who broke the door down. “The question,” said Ms Darker Smith, “is why she did not break t

64、he door down herself.”72. The passage is especially intended for _. A. parents with young daughters B. girls who like reading fairy stories C. girls who think they can change their partners D. parents with grown-up daughters73. Cinderella, Rapunzel and Beauty in Beauty and the Beast are similar in t

65、hat _. A. they all married some princes B. they all changed their partners with love C. they were all abused by their partners D. they all put up with abuse74. Which of the following statements is true of the women in a control group? A. They dont believe in fairy tales. B. They dont believe in the

66、transformational qualities of love. C. They have also experienced abuse. D. They survived abuse.75. What does the underlined word “submissive” in the 3rd paragraph probably mean? A. kind-hearted B. obedient C. gentle D. easy-going Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suit

67、able heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Out-of-Body Factors on Biological ClocksB. Brain Cells Controlling Biological ClocksC. Biological Clocks Controlling Birds FlyingD. Benefits Studying Biological ClocksE. Inside-Body Factors on Biological Cl

68、ocksF. Biological Clocks Controlling Activities76. Every living thing has what scientists call a biological clock that controls behavior. The biological clock tells plants when to form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tells insects when to leave the protective cocoon and fly away, and it

69、 tells animals and human beings when to eat, sleep and wake.77. Events outside the plant and animal affect the actions of some biological clock. Scientists recently found, for example, that a tiny animal changes the color of its fur because of the number of hours of daylight. In the short days of wi

70、nter, its fur becomes white. The fur becomes gray brown in color in the longer hours of daylight in summer. 78. Inner signals control other biological clocks. German scientists found that some kind of internal clock seems to order birds to begin their long migration flight twice each year. Birds pre

71、vented from flying become restless when it is time for the trip. But they become calm again when the time of flight has ended.79. Scientist say they are beginning to learn which parts of the brain contain biological clock. An American researcher, Martin Moorhead, said a small group of cells near the

72、 front of the brain seems to control the timing of some of our actions. These cells tell a person when to awake, when to sleep and when to seek food. Scientists say there probably are other biological clock cells that control other body activities.80. Dr. Moorhead is studying how our biological cloc

73、ks affect the way we do our work. For example, most of us have great difficulty if we often change to different work hours. It can take many days for a human body to accept the major change in work hours. Dr. Moorhead said industrials officials should have a better understanding of biological clocks

74、 and how they affect workers. He said such understanding could cut sickness and accidents at work and would help increase a factorys production.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions and complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Booklovers, most of the

75、m, will tell you what a pleasure it is to lend a favorite read to a friend the novel you stayed up all night to get to the end of; the travel book that made you feel as if you yourself were on a train ride through India. For a while it seemed that e-book users were to be denied this pleasure of lend

76、ing to friends. You could buy a book or magazine for your reading device, but you couldnt lend it out.But now, with the Nook, the US book chain Barnes and Nobles response to Amazons Kindle, electronic readers will be able to press their latest literary enthusiasm on their friends, just like readers

77、of physical books can. You simply email the book from your Nook and your friend can read it for two weeks, using any device with the Barnes & Noble e-book reader software. Its a big improvement from previous e-book readers.The Nook offers other features too. You read in black and white on the main s

78、creen, just like with Kindle. The difference is that on the lower part of the device theres a color touch screen. It allows you to browse through a book or magazine, but goes black when youre not using it so that you save power.Another exciting thing about the Nook is that it offers Wi-Fi (无线上网服务),

79、arguably a big advance on previous e-book readers. Customers in the United States can use the Internet connection to read whole e-books at Barnes and Nobles hundreds of bookstores for free. None of Barnes and Nobles competitors can come close to this.But the Nook, ironically, might just turn out to

80、be a money-loser for Barnes and Noble, or at least a job-loser for Barnes and Nobles employees. According to Marian Maneker at The Big Money Website, if the Nook is successful it might take sales from the companys bookstores, eventually forcing their closure and the loss of thousands of jobs.81. Wha

81、t do booklovers take pleasure in, according to the passage? 82. According to Paragraph 2, your friend will be able to _ with the Nook.83. According to the passage, the three new features of the Nook are: lending books to your friends, a color touch screen and _ in Barnes and Nobles stores.84. What m

82、ight happen to Barnes and Nobles bookstores if the Nook is successful?(Note: Answer the questions and complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)第II卷 （45分）I.

92、question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.When I was a child, there were some people whose ideas I respected. My uncle, John I thought, knew everything about the world. He had traveled and seen all there was to see. I believed anything he told me about places

93、 like China, Australia, and Brazil. When I wanted to know anything about baseball I asked our neighbor, Mr. Parmer. My teacher, Miss Clinton was an expert on animals and I always believed all of the things she told our class about the living creatures.When I was sixteen years old, I got the idea tha

94、t the adults really didnt know very much. I, of course, knew everything. Then, when I was twenty, I realized that I should respect their opinions and ideas all the time. They had experienced so much and could give the best advice.Some people have an opinion on every subject. Others have none. I thin

What kind of boy was the speaker when he was sixteen?13. Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the f

96、ollowing passage. Every year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia was delivered to my house. No card came with it. Calls to the flower-shop were not helpful at all. After a while I stopped trying to discover the senders name and just delighted in the beautiful white flower in

97、soft pink paper.But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these imaginings. Shed ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man across the street whos

98、e mail Id delivered during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I had run into.One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didnt care if I had a new dress or not.

99、But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of these things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia- lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery.My mother died ten years after I

100、 was married. I was 32. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.Questions:14. What did the narrator mainly tell us?15. Why did the mother insist on her daughter going to the graduation dance?16. Who was the sender of the flower?Section CDirections: In Section C, you will bear two longer conver
