分析 这里的外宾对各行各业的人们努力建设新天津事实留下深刻的印象．

解答 答案是B．
本题考查定冠词的用法．第一空后面people为复数名词，泛指"各行各业的人们"，前面不需要冠词，排除C和D；Tianjin为专有名词，单个的专有名词前不加观察，但是如果有修饰语限制，往往要加不定冠词，a new Tianjin一个新的天津，故答案是B．

点评 掌握冠词要关注两大方面：一是积累有关不定冠词、定冠词和零冠词的相关的规则；二是积累特掌殊的短语．

2．The word"Dutch"originally referred to Germans，and even today，the word"Deutschland"means Germany．（36）GThe country，which is on the coast of the North Sea between Germany and Belgium is also known as Holland．
There are many English expressions that include the word"Dutch．"（37）A For example，"Dutch courage"means false courage or bravery gotten by drinking alcohol．A"Dutch uncle"is a person who gives unwanted advice．A"Dutch concert"is just a lot of noise and no music．A"Dutch defense"means surrender（投降），although the Dutch never surrendered an inch of their homeland without a heroic fight．
In these phrases the English imply that the Dutch are cheap and not brave enough．（38）FWhen most people think of Holland，they imagine huge fields of tulips（郁金香），tall windmills（风车）and children wearing wooden shoes一pleasant and positive things．So why did the English take such a contrary view of Holland？
（39）E But as the two countries became interested in the East Indies； they competed to control sea routes leading to the East indies and the valuable goods found there．The Dutch and the English fought three wars at sea between 1652and 1674．In 1667．when the Dutch bravely blocked off the Thames River near London，England，the English were angry!（40）BToday relations between the two countries are quite friendly； but the old phrases remain．

A．Most of them have negative meanings．
B．It was during this time that the unfair war of words began．
C．Dutch is one of the closest relatives of both German and English．
D．Take advantage of any Dutch language center as you learn to speak Dutch．
E．Yet the rest of the world views Holland and the Dutch people much differently．
F．Before the 17th century，the Dutch were respected in English writing and language．
G．But in present-day English，"Dutch"refers to people and things coming from the Netherlands．
3．Ms．Mary was over eighty，but she still drove her old car like half her age．She loved driving very fast，and boasted （吹嘘） of the fact （61）thatshe had never，in her thirty-five years of driving，been punished （62）fora driving mistake．
Then one day，she nearly lost her record．A police car followed her，and the policemen in it saw her pass a red light without （63）stopping（stop）．
When Ms．Mary came before the judge，he looked at her （64）seriously（serious） and said that she was too old to drive a car，and that the reason （65）why she had not stopped at red light was most probably that her eyes had become weak with old age，（66）so/and she had simply not seen it．
When the judge had finished what he was saying，Ms．Mary opened the big handbag she was carrying and took out her sewing．Without saying a word，she （67）chose（choose） a needle with a very small eye，and threaded it at the first time．
When she had successfully done this，she took the thread out of the needle again and handed （68）boththe needle and thread to the judge，saying，"Now it is your turn．I suppose you can drive a car well，and you have no doubts about your eyesight．"
The judge took the needle and tried to thread it．After half a dozen times，he had still not（69）succeeded（success）．The case against Ms．Mary （70）was dismissed（dismiss），and her record remained unbroken．
20．One day，a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods from door to door found that he only had one dime left．He was hungry so he decided to （16）C for a meal at the next house．
    However，he lost his nerve （17）B a lovely young woman opened the door．Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water．She thought he looked （18）D so she brought him a large glass of milk．He drank it （19）A，and then asked，"How much do I owe you？"
"You don't owe me anything，"she （20）C．"Mother has taught me never to accept pay for a（21）B．"He said，"Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart．"As Howard Kelly left that house，he not only felt stronger（22）A，but it also increased his faith in God and human race．
He was about to give up and quit before this point．
    Years later the young woman became critically ill．The local doctors were baffled．They finally sent her to the big city，where specialists can be called （23）D to study her rare disease．Dr．Howard Kelly，now （24）B，was called in for the consultation．When he heard the name of the town she came from，a strange light （25）A his eyes．Immediately，he （26）A and went down through the hospital hall into her room．
   （27）Din his doctor's gown he went in to see her．He （28）Aher at once．He went back to the consultation room and （29）C to do his best to save her life．From that day on，he gave（30）A attention to her case．
    After a long（31）C，the battle was won．Dr．Kelly （32）Bthe business office to pass the final bill to him for approval．He looked at it and then wrote something on the side．The bill was sent to her room．She was afraid to open it because she was（33）C that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off．Finally she looked，and the note on the side of the bill caught her（34）C．She read these words…
"Paid in full with a glass of milk．"

2．Regarded as one of the English language's most gifted poets，John Keats wrote poetry that concentrated on imagery，human nature，and philosophy．Although Keats didn't receive much formal literary education，his own studies and passion brought him much success．Additionally，his own life situation influenced his poetry greatly．
   Growing up as a young boy in London in a lower middle-class family，the young John didn't attend a private school，but went to a public one．His teachers and his family's friends regarded him as an optimistic boy who favored playing and fighting much more than minding his studies．After his father's death in the early 1800s，followed by his mother's passing due to tuberculosis （肺结核），he began viewing life differently．He wanted to escape the world and did so by reading anything h e could get his hands on．
    At around the age of 16，the teenage John Keats began studying under a surgeon so that he too might become a doctor．However，his literary appetite had taken too much of his fancy，especially with his addiction to the poetry of Ehmund Spenser．He was able to have his first full poem published in the Examiner in 1816，entitled O Solitude!If I Must With Thee Dwell．Within two months in 1817，Keats had written an entire volume of poetry，but was sharply criticized by a magazine．However，the negative response didn't stop his pursuit of rhythm （韵律）．
   John Keats'next work was Endymion，which was published in May 1818．The story involves a shepherd who falls in love with the moon goddess and leads him on an adventure of one boy's hope to overcome the limitations of being human．Following Endymion，however，he tried something more narrative-based and wrote Isabella．During this time，John Keats began seeing his limitations in poetry due to his own limit in life experiences．He would have to have the"knowledge"associated with his poems．His next work was Hyperion that would attempt to combine all that he learned．However，a bout （发作） with tuberculosis while visiting Italy would keep him from his work and eventually take his life in 1821．
24．John Keats'attitude towards life changed because ofB．
A．his early education from school    
B．the deaths of his parents
C．Edmund Spenser's poetry           
D．the criticism of a magazine
25．What is the common thing between John Keats and his mother？A

A．determined      B．experienced C．knowledgeable       D．impatient
27．What do we know from the passage？B
A．Keats received little education at school．
B．Keats once had a chance of becoming a doctor．

9．Around four years ago，I received a call from the principal of our school as to the"Parents View"talk the next morning．He asked me to speak to the group．After the call，I became feverish and panicky．The time from his call to the next morning seemed like years．The whole night，I could not sleep with many ominous apprehensions in mind．One of them was to call the principal with regret and tell him that I could not come．Finally，I gathered some courage．I thought，"If I miss this opportunity，surely the school will never invite me again to any of their programs．"
I reached the school in time．Before my turn came，my whole body was trembling．When my turn came and I started speaking，my heartbeat increased and my mouth went dry．I wasn't even able to read the written speech properly．I was not aware of where I was standing and what I was reading．That was the day when I realized my biggest weakness，Public Speaking．
After my speech，I met with the principal and explained what happened to me．He told me that this happens to everyone．Even the great speakers faced the same thing when they started．He suggested that I come again next time．
Around one month later，I was invited to refer to a topic on Motivation．This time I was feeling comfortable．My speech was appreciated by the principal as well as the teachers，because I was able to get my idea across to them．They encouraged and praised my efforts．
After delivering it successfully，I became more confident．I said to myself，"If I can speak in front of such a learned audience，like the principal who educates others，I can now speak in front of others too．"
I started delivering lectures in my plant，on various topics like Self-motivation，Personality Development，Personal Excellence，Spoken English and Presentation Skills．This has become a passion for me．I learned that everything is possible if we have the courage to take the first step．

D．Happy comments．
28．What can we conclude from the passage？C

6．（46）AOutdoor activities for kids are fun and a learning experience for them as well as their parents．Kids are like pots of wet clay，whatever you teach them they will learn very quickly．So instead of giving them expensive video games，why not teach them and take part with them in some outdoor activities for kids．（47）GIt's in this age that you should introduce some fun creative activities that help them in the long run．Every fourth kid in America suffers from obesity，being obese invites a lot of health problems．Outdoor activities for kids prove to be a fun and splendid exercise that kids would love．
（48）DIn ancient times kids used to play outside and come home only at nights like cats．To get rid of the dullness，they played every game they ever saw or heard．These games were beneficial for their mind and body as they improved their creativity and gave them a healthy workout．

7．Blue-eyed people have been living in Europe for at least 7，000years，scientists have discovered．
A man who lived on the Iberian Peninsula before Europeans became farmers probably had blue eyes but dark hair and skin，according to scientists who have sequenced （排序） his DNA．This surprising combination of eye，hair and skin coloring may not have been unusual during his lifetime，but it is no longer seen among modern Europeans，the team reported Sunday in the journal Nature．
The man，a Neolithic hunter-gatherer known to scientists as La Bra?a 1，is of great interest to scientists because he offers a photograph of what was in Europeans'DNA before agriculture （农业） spread through the continent．Experts have understood that certain genetic （基因的） features spread quickly among humans after they led the farming lifestyle．La Bra?a 1shows that at least some of their expectations were correct．
The man's skeleton，along with that of a male companion，was discovered in 2006in a cave in what is now northeastern Spain．The site，known as La Bra?a-Arintero，sits about 5，000feet above sea level，and the cave provided a cold，refrigerator-like environment that preserved his DNA．
In the lab，scientists were able to take out enough DNA from a single tooth to reconstruct La Bra?a 1's entire genome （基因组）．They compared it to the DNA of other ancient Europeans and determined that he was a closer match with hunter-gatherers than with farmers．
When it came to genes that would influence La Bra?a 1's appearance，the researchers found that their 7，000-year-old subject had versions of two skin pigment （色素） genes that are either very rare or nonexistent among Europeans today．Then they looked at other places in the genome that influence pigmentation and found a mix of ancient and modern gene variants （变体）．Taken together，La Bra?a 1's DNA"is likely to have resulted in dark skin pigmentation and dark or brown hair，"they wrote．
However，his DNA indicates that his eyes were most likely blue，the scientists found．This suggests that gene variants for light-colored eyes and skin did not spread together，they wrote，adding that La Bra?a 1's combination"of dark skin and non-brown eyes is unique and no longer present in contemporary European populations．"Today，a blue-eyed person would usually have fair skin．
To get some idea of whether La Bra?a 1's coloring was unusual for his day，the researchers will try to sequence the DNA of his companion，who has been named La Bra?a=2．
25．Why scientists are interested in La Bra?a 1？B
A．They can know Europeans'DNA．
B．They can know European hunter-gatherers'DNA．
C．They can know the ancient agriculture in Europe．
D．They can know some of their expectations were correct．
26．La Bra?a 1was well preserved due toD．
A．dry weather        
B．a high cave     
C．proper protection          
D．cold conditions
27．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A
A．La Bra?a 1's DNA influenced his appearance．
B．La Bra?a 1's appearance influenced contemporary Europeans．
C．La Bra?a 1's gene variants spread together．
D．La Bra?a 1's genes are completely different from contemporary Europeans'．
28．The last paragraph suggests thatD．
A．La Bra?a 2has the same genome with La Bra?a 1
B．Blue-eyed people were common in Europe 7，000years ago
C．Bra?a 1's combination of dark skin and non-brown eyes is unique
D．It's not certain that La Bra?a's appearance was common at his time．
