   Several countries have    37.    forces to patrol Somali waters in    38.   to the growing number of pirate attacks on   39.  . But the pirates have only become more brazen (肆无忌惮),   40.   larger ships. Pirates even hijacked (劫持) a Saudi    41.   that was carrying over $100 million in oil.

   Nearly 100 ships were hijacked    42.   the Horn of Africa in 2008. Ransoms (赎金) paid to    43.    

the ships reached nearly $50 million. This has   44.    much hand-wringing (much disappointment) in government circles, and some  45.     decisions by shipping companies. Some have decided to reroute their ships all the way    46.   the Cape of Good Hope.

   It seems that shipping firms have a decision to make: 53.    the region altogether or arm their ships to defend off direct attacks. There are some creative ways to do that. A chemical tanker fought off pirates    54.   with automatic weapons by releasing foam from fire hoses into the waters around the ship. In 2005, a cruise ship used a Long Range Acoustic Device, capable of causing permanent ear damage and temporary vision loss, to defend off a pirate attack on Somalia's coast.

    Deng Changyou, political commissar for the air force who attended the pilots' graduation ceremony, said China had finally fulfilled a dream, while an official who refused to be named told Xinhua: "Due to the improvements in flying ability, the accumulation of training experience and modern military needs, we've started to train women combat pilots and the air force plans to increase their numbers to enable women to enter all areas of military service."

The 16 newly qualified pilots all underwent 28 months of basic training, which included parachute jumping and field survival training at the in Aviation University of the China Air Force, as well as 16 months of flight training. Each now has an average of 135 hours of personal flight time.

    So far, 545 female trainees have enrolled at the air force college, with 328 having graduated and 52 now working in air transport, according to official statistics. "With our strict training regime, female pilots can do what men can do," added Wu Huiming, dean of the third flying college.

    As well as China, 15 other countries allow women to fly fighter jets, including Great Britain, Germany, Spain, Israel, Pakistan and the United States, the latter having trained nearly 300 since females were permitted to enroll at its military flight schools in 1976.

    Following the end of the Cold War, China has initiated several development projects, such as the Jian-10 and Jian-11 aircraft. Another low-cost, light jet fighter, the FC-1 has also been developed for both the international and domestic markets.

Female fighter pilot Tao Jiali prepares for her flight on March 29, 2009. She is among the country's first 16 female pilots to fly China-made fighter jets, who were conferred the rank of lieutenant on April 2.

    There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degrees of heath and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes miserable. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.

    People who are to be happy fix their attention on the conveniences of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are lo be unhappy think and speak only of the contrary things. Therefore, they are continually discontented. By their remarks, they sour the pleasures of society, offend many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The tendency to criticize and be disgusted is perhaps taken up originally by imitation (摹仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are convinced of its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.

    Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious consequences in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them. and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect, and scarcely that. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at obtaining some advantage in rank or fortune, nobody wishes them successful. Nor will anyone stir a step or speak a word to favor their hopes.  If they bring on themselves public disapproval, on one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their misconducts.  These should change this bad habit and condescend (屈尊,放下架子) to be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

64. People who are unhappy       .

   A. always consider things differently from others

   B. usually are influenced by the results of certain things

   C. can discover the pleasant part of certain things

   D. usually have a fault-finding habit

65.What does the phrase "sour the pleasures of society" ( Line 5, Para. 2) most probably mean?

   A. "have a good taste to the pleasures of society"

   B. "aren't content with the pleasures of society"

   C. "feel happy with the pleasures of society"

   D. "enjoy the pleasures of society"

66. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

   A. We should pity all such unhappy people.

   B. Such unhappy people are not critical about everything.

   C. If such unhappy people recognize the bad effects of the habit on themselves they may get rid of it.

   D. Such unhappy people are also not content with themselves.

67. The phrase "scarcely that" (Line 4, Para. 3) means      .

   A. "just like that"                                    B. "almost not like that"

   C. "more than that"                                   D. "not at all like that"

68. If such unhappy persons don't change their bad behavior, the author's solution to the problem is that people should      .

   A. avoid contact with them                                  B. criticize their misconduct

   C. help them recognize the bad effects of the habit D. show no respect and politeness to them

 

D

    Today, more and more people are using credit cards instead of money to buy the things they need. Almost anyone who has a steady income and a continuous work record can apply for a credit card.

    If you have a credit card, you can buy a car, eat a dinner, take a trip, and even get a haircut by charging the cost to your account. In this way you can pay for purchases a month or two later, without any extra charge. Or you may choose to spread out your payments over several months and pay only part of the total amount each month. If you do this, the credit card company or the bank who sponsors (经办) the credit card will add a small service charge to your total bill. This is very convenient for the customer. With the credit card ill your wallet or purse, you don't have to carry much cash. This saves you trips to the bank to cash checks or withdraw cash. Also if you carry credit cards instead of a lot of cash, you don't have to be concerned about  losing your money through carelessness or theft. The card user only has to worry about paying the final bill. This of course can be a problem if you charge more than you can pay for.

    Credit cards are big business. Americans spend $16 billion a year on cards and there are already 590 million of them in circulation.  Many banks sponsor their own credit card companies and issue cards free to their customers. Other credit card companies charge their member annual dues (费用). The stores that accept credit cards must pay a small fee to the credit card company ? a percentage of the purchase price of the merchandise or service. In turn, the credit card company promptly (立即) pays the store for the merchandise or service. Credit card companies make a profit from the fees they charge the store and also from the fees collected from customers who pay for their changes in monthly installments. However, credit card companies sometimes have problems collecting overdue payments from unreliable customers. Also the use of stolen, lost, or counterfeit credit cards by criminals has become a big headache for the credit card company that is responsible for the goods and services illegally charged to its customers' account.

69. The main purpose of this passage is      .

  A. to promote the sale of credit cards                      B. to persuade you not to buy credit cards

  C. to explain credit card economy                          

    D. to give you some instructions on how to use the credit card

70. Why are more and more people using credit cards?

   A. Because they are becoming richer and richer.

   B. Because everyone call apply for the credit card.

   C. Because it is cheap to buy goods by using a credit card.

   D. Because it is convenient for them to buy goods.

71. According to the author, which of the following statements is NOT true?

   A. With a credit card you can pay for purchases two months later.

   B. With a credit card you can charge the cost to your account.

   C. With a credit card you don't have to be worried about a thief.

   D. With the credit card you don't have to worry about your final bill.

72. In the passage, "Credit cards are big business" means that      .

   A. credit card banks earn a lot of money

   B. credit cards are mid at a high price

   C. every customer has bought a credit card

   D.  customers must pay a lot of money to the credit card companies

 

第二节 简答题(共3小题, 满分6分)

阅读下面短文,根据第73至第75小题的具体要求,简要回答问题。

    Scientists believe that conditions on Mars around 3.8 billion years ago were very similar to those of the early earth, when primitive organisms were spreading through our oceans. At that time, Mars would have been much warmer and wetter than it is today, with an atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide, just like that of the earth at the time. Under these conditions, it is highly probable that life may have arisen on Mars as well.

     But, even if life did not arise naturally on Mars, it does not mean that it could not have existed there.  According to Professor Paul Davies of the University of Adelaide, Australia, life forms could have been transferred between the earth and Mars in wreckage (broke pieces) created by the impact of comet (彗星) and small planets on the surface of the two planets.

     Even today, about 500 tons of material from Mars lands on earth every year. It is mainly in the form of the dust but occasionally a larger chunk (厚片, 大块) strikes the earth. In 1911, a piece of Martian rock crashed in Egypt, killing a dog. According to professor Davies, it is in these chunks of rock, which were much larger and more frequent in the past, that life forms could have been transported from planet to planet.

     "But how could these life forms have survived their journey through space?" Says Paul Davies, "The difficulty in believing this theory is that a bacterium on its own in space has to struggle itself not only against cold but also against deadly cosmic (宇宙的) radiation. But wrapped in a rock the situation is different. A rock ten meters across would shield life inside it from a lot of radiation and the temperature might only be minus 10 or 20 degrees, the sort of thing we have on earth."

73. Where do some scientists suppose life probably come from? (回答不超过6个单词)

    

74. What does Professor Paul Davies believe? (回答不超过6个单词)

 

75. Why could life survive when transferred from one planet to another? (回答不超过12个单词)

It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions, the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory.

Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includes not only remembering things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed (嗅,闻) something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat.

     Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines.

Computers, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100 000 words ready for instant use. An average U. S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, this is but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight.

The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings. A large part of a person's memory is in temps of words and combinations of words.

听力材料

 

Text 1

W: I need a picture for my passport. Can you recommend a photographer?

M: Yes, Andersons’ on Main Street is excellent, fast and inexpensive.

Text 2

W: Please turn down the television. I can’t understand anything my friend is saying on the phone.

M: Hurry up and finish your call. I don’t like standing so close. The light hurts my eyes.

Text 3

W: May I have this prescription filled here? I have a terrible headache.

M: Yes, but you’ll have a 15-minute wait.

Text 4

M: Operator, I’d like to place a call to Athens, Greece. How much will it cost?

W: $ 9 for the first three minutes and $ 3 for each additional minute.

Text 5

W: You look awful. Did you walk all the way from the bus stop in this weather?

M: Yes, and I left my raincoat on the bus.

Text 6

M: Miss Kate, what time will Mr. Tanaka’s flight arrive at Kennedy Airport?

W: Around 2 p.m., sir. Will you go with the company car to meet him?

M: Yes, so I’d better leave here no later than 12. How about the rooms at the Hilton for Mr. Tanaka and his salary?

W: I made the reservations for them last week and checked again yesterday to make sure everything is ready.

M: Including the dinner room for tonight’s reception?

W: That’s right. The manager assured me that everything will be exactly as we have requested.

M: Excellent. I want everything to be the very best.

W: I am sure it will be. That manager has never let us down yet.

M: We want to make a good impression. Not just to be sure that this business deal is a success, but to pay back the wonderful hospitality we received from them in Tokyo last year.

 

Text 7

M: Did you see the TV program last night about the skydiver whose parachutes didn’t open after he had jumped from his plane?

W: No, I didn’t. Did he die?

M: No, it’s really unbelievable how he could have survived such a free fall, and lived to tell about it on television.

W: What happened?

M: Neither of his chutes opened as he fell down to the ground. When they found him, they thought he was dead. Doctors said he would never walk again but he proved them wrong.

W: How long did it take him to recover?

M: He spent 18 months in the hospital. As soon as he was allowed to leave, he went back and jumped out of a plane again.

W: Gee, some people sure do crazy things!

 

Text 8

W: Hi, Gus, how was the game yesterday?

M: Great. Why did you miss it?

W: My parents didn’t let me go because I had a fever. I am still in bed.

M: Too bad you weren’t there. We all went together―Jenny, Jimmy, Anita, George, Sandra, and I.

W: It must have been very cold sitting outside on the bleachers, wasn’t it?

M: Yes, it was. We were all wrapped up in blankets, wool hats, and heavy coats. We also took along bottles of hot chocolate and coffee.

W: I hear it started snowing in the middle of the game.

M: It did, lightly at first, then harder. But it didn’t stop the game.

W: Did you see Jim Pullman make his touchdown?

M: That was the most exciting moment. Bobby Lee passed the ball to him, and he ran thirty yards. No one could catch him, and it was so funny watching the players sliding in the snow.

W: But you’re coughing. Are you getting sick too?

M: I guess I caught a cold at the game. But it was worth it.

 

Text 9

W: Did you hear what happened at the Logan City Museum last night?

M: Yeah, I heard that some robbers stole some jewels.

W: Not some jewels! The most expensive diamond! It’s worth 5 million dollars.

M: Wow! How did they get in?

W: Nobody knows. Maybe they stayed in the museum after it closed.

M: Didn’t anyone hear the alarm?

W: The alarm didn’t go off. The robbers cut the wire.

M: Hmmm. Those robbers were pretty clever. The police say that the robbery was the work of a group. They travel around the world stealing jewels.

W: How do you know so much about this robbery?

M: I read about it in the newspaper.

Ladies and gentlemen, here I would like to say something how to get through an interview.

In order to make a good impression during a job interview, you need to prepare yourself. You must try to find out as much information about the company as possible. You can get information by talking to someone who is working in the company or through advertisement. You must arrive in plenty of time so that you can give yourself a little time to relax before the interview begins.

You need to plan what you are going to say. Sometimes you will have to do a lot of talking, and sometimes you will only have to answer a few questions about your education and experience. You need to have answers ready about yourself, your work, your strong points, your reason for applying for the job, and the salary you expect.

Above all, you should have confidence in yourself that you will pass the interview.

Any questions? No? OK, that’s all.

Thank you.

写作(满分25分)

Dear Zhang Ming,

Congratulations on your being admitted for further study in America.

 Like anything else,oversea has both advantages and disadvantages.

   The main benfits of studying oversea are as follows.First,better research equipment is supplied.In the second place,understanding anew culture and meeting different people can broaden our minds.Last but by no means the least,studying abroad will only build our character,but make us more independent.

   However,the negative effects are also obvious.To begin with,if a person isn’t fully prepared before going out,he will have great difficulty adapting to the new environment.Second,the cultural differences will also be barriers in many ways.

   In conclusion,overseas study will bring about more disadvantages.

Best wishes.

   Yours truly,

   Li Hua
