26、1900. The finding of Loulan brought about new and unexpected fame for the ancient history of the Central Asia and thus began the exploration of the Taklamakan Desert. The City of Loulan is known both in China and throughout the world as the Middle Kingdoms Pompeii in the desert and one of the cradle

27、s of the civilization. It wasnt hard to imagine how excited Sven Hedin must have been when he was awarded the Victoria Medal by the Royal Geography Association. From that point forward, the mysterious covering of Loulan was gradually lowered and was no more a silent unknown hero but became an immedi

28、ate worldwide sensation (引起轰动的事). Adventurers from America, Britain, Japan and Sweden, including Huntington, Stein, Otani Kozui and Bergman set foot here for several times. In the 1930s, Chinese archaeologist Huang Wenbi came here for the first time and made a survey of this area, which was found ev

29、en then in terrible conditions due to uncontrolled digging with many wonderful cultural historic relics taken away to distant foreign lands. In 1979, a group of tombs called Sun Tombs, known for their unique and attractive burial forms, were unearthed in the Gumugou Graveyard, the public graveyard o

30、f the Lop Nur citizens in the Bronze Age. In early 1980s, in the Tiebanhe River Delta area of the lower reaches of the Peafowl River in Lop Nur, a female mummy dating back some 3,800 years was unearthed and was considered by the Japanese as the “Loulan Beauty”. This set off a wave of current explora

31、tion of the Silk Road. The archaeological unearthing being currently conducted in the Xiaohe (Small River) Graveyard is now the focus of the worlds most important academic event. The Xiaohe Graveyard, 175km west of the City of Loulan, is located in the lower reaches of the Peafowl River in the Lop N

32、ur. When the Graveyard was found, it is said that there were some 1,000 coffins. It is large in scale with sand dunes(沙丘) as high as eight metres, on which about 140 wooden stakes(树桩) in various shapes were closely arranged.

36、 relics of the City of LoulanD. one after another important discovery about Loulan was made, causing worldwide sensation BSeveral overseas trips with the family have taught us that they can be rewarding, but you always have to be careful of pickpockets.On a lovely visit to Paris an encounter with a

37、pickpocket gave the would-be thief a little more than he bargained for!While walking down the famous Champs Elysee, I was astonished to feel someone unzip my handbag and remove my purse. I turned to glimpse a young man turning away and pretending to be absorbed in the mouth-watering contents on disp

38、lay in a bakery window.Being only a teenager at the time, I had no idea what to do. So I tapped the young man in question on the shoulder and said.“Excuse me can you please give me back my purse?”Of course the pickpocket had no idea what I was saying (and didnt want to know) and proceeded to shrug h

39、is shoulders and basically say (in French) “I dont speak English”?Meanwhile my Mother (a Scotswoman with a bad temper), came to see why I had stopped walking and what was going on. When I informed her of the situation she lost control and started yelling at the thief who still stood there making ges

40、tures in French while a crazy Scotswoman harangued(指责) him. At this stage we were starting to attract onlookers, and when my Mother started hitting the young man with her handbag the would-be thief decided it was time to get away.Luckily, amid all the disorder the thief lost his control of my purse,

41、 and as he made a break-for-it, my purse dropped to the ground! I quickly snatched it up and for the rest of vacation we walked around with our handbags clutched against our chests!59.

43、e pickpocket was too inexperienced to steal his purse D. his purse was very heavy so that he felt it was removed62. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A.

44、ay immediately. C. It was the bad tempered mother that caused the thief to lose control of the purse. D. The author was old enough to deal with the case independently at the time. CPicture an everyday scene. Youre in a high street coffee shop. All around you people are drinking coffee. Some people a

45、re chatting with friends and others are using their mobile phones. In a corner of the coffee shop an internet caf has been set up. At one table a couple of teenagers are laughing at a message in a chat room, while at another table an old man searches the Web for something. Now imagine this scene thr

46、ough the eyes of a technologist from 100 years ago. This is someone who has thought carefully about how technology and society might develop during the twentieth century. Surprising may be the realization that some of the people here are working in an easy way. Most surprising perhaps will be the te

47、chnological tools most people seem to be using. The technologist is aware of the telephone, which was invented about 30 years earlier. But most of these twenty-first century people seem to have wireless pocket-size personal communicators they can use to send messages or speak to anyone anywhere in t

48、he world. Some are using a handheld machine that contains thousands of pieces of information that can be accessed instantly, and can do calculations in a fraction of a second that would have taken a team of operators with mechanical calculators hours or even days. And these machines, like the only s

49、lightly larger versions in the corner, can be connected to a global brain from which the people can call up almost any information, news, idea, opinion or gossip that exists anywhere on the planet. Most of the changes in technology, compared to 100 years ago, are due to the continual inventive activ

50、ity of a large number of people. Most of us dont do anything other than maybe form a vague idea about how a product or process might be improved. In some people, however, this inventive drive is so strong that they act on it. 63. The author tries to tell us in the first paragraph that_.A. people aro

51、und you all like drinking coffeeB. people chat with each other by mobile phoneC. we are living in a modern societyD. we are making use of the Internet64.The author uses the word “communicators” to mean _.A. telephone B. mobile phone C. vision phone D. computer65.

52、rth paragraph. A. a mechanical calculator B. a machine held in one hand C. a pocket-size communicator D. a laptop computer66. It can be inferred from the text that_. A. with an computer, you can access almost any information that exists anywhere on the planet B. in any internet caf you can search th

53、e Web for how technology and society may develop in 2000 years C. the continual inventive activity of a large number of people will cause more innovationsD. act on a vague idea and you are sure to be able to make a surprising invention in the future. D The Power of Negative ThinkingNegative thinking

54、 appears to be more prevalent than positive thinking. It seems that with most people positive thinking requires some effort, while negative thinking comes easily and uninvited. This has much to do with education and the environment one has been living in. If you have been brought up in a happy and p

55、ositive atmosphere, where people value success and self-improvement, then it will be easier for you to think positively and expect success. If you have been brought up under poor or difficult situations, you will probably go on expecting difficulties and failure. We all view everything through our m

56、ain mental attitude. If our thoughts are positive, that is fine, but if they are negative, our lives and circumstances will probably mirror these thoughts. If you believe that you are going to fail, you will unconsciously destroy every opportunity to succeed. If you are afraid of meeting new people

57、or having close relationships, you will do everything to avoid people and relationships, and then complain that you are lonely and nobody loves you. Do you often think about difficulties, failure and disasters? Do you keep thinking about the negative news you have seen on the TV or read in the newsp

58、apers? Do you see yourself stuck and unable to improve your life or your health? Do you frequently think that you do not deserve happiness or money, or that it is too difficult to get them? If you do, then you will close your mind, see no opportunities, and behave and react in such ways, as to turn

59、away from people and opportunities. The mind does not usually judge or examine thoughts and opinions before accepting them. If what it hears, sees and reads is always negative, it accepts this as the standard way of thinking and behavior.Open your mind to positive attitude, happenings and events. Ex

60、pect them and think about them, and soon your life will change for the better.67. According to the author, happy and positive situations cause people to_.A. turn away from people and opportunitiesB. expect difficulties and failureC. viewing everything by negative thinkingD. think positively and expe

61、ct success68. Some people think that they have few friends in their lives perhaps because_.A. their thoughts are positiveB. their thoughts are negativeC. they avoid people and relationshipsD. destroy every opportunity to make friends69. What does the author want to tell us in the fifth and sixth par

62、agraphs?A. one has no reasons for his negative thinking and behaviorB. one mustnt always think about difficulties, failure and disastersC. ones living environment has the decisive function upon his thinkingD. one should never think of things happily and positively70. From the passage we can learn th

63、at_.A. positive thinking has much to do with education and the environment one has been living inB. thinking negatively is much easier than thinking positivelyC. the moment you see something sad, you will feel sad tooD. the positively we think and behave, the happier we will be第四部分：读写任务（共三节；满分35分）第一

79、50词左右的英语短文。A college in Beijing offered 100 yuan to any freshmen who came alone on the first day of school, a policy that was to encourage independence.The money was given in cash or in pre-paid phone cards to nearly 115 students, or 10 percent of the 1,145 freshmen who arrived for their first-year

80、studies at China Youth University for Political Sciences. A list of the recipients（接受者）has been published on the schools website.The move came because of the increasing concern that Chinas younger generation are enjoying too comfortable a life, with a consequent loss of independence. More than 90% o

81、f college freshmen are said to arrive on campus with their parents.The move was also helpful to students from poor families. “Most of the recipients are from remote, poverty-stricken regions, and this will give them some confidence among their rich classmates,” Wei Pingwei, a teacher at the universi

85、hool, which also helped the poor students and freed the school from a lot of burden.In my opinion, it can be beneficial if parents accompany their children to the university on the first day of school. Lacking experience, many freshmen may feel nervous and frightened when they arrive at a place that

86、 is not familiar to them. The company of their parents may calm them down. Instead of carrying things for their children, parents can give them guidance and necessary reminders.However, there can be disadvantages, too. Depending on their parents too much, the freshmen will lose the opportunity to tr

87、ain themselves. Moreover, they may leave a bad impression on others, especially the teachers, thinking that they are unable to handle their own business.As for me, I prefer to go to the university by myself. It is helpful to gain new life experience. I will be more independent, more cautious and more sociable without parents company. After all, it is I not my parents that am going to the university.To sum up, going to the university on their own is helpful and necessary to all fresh students.3.
