　 M：I'm expecting a friend from Shanghai. He is coming to attend the Guangzhou Book Show.

Text 6

　 W：What part of the paper are you reading?

　 M：The part about travel.

　 W：Are you thinking about our vacation already?

　 M：Yes, it's not so far away. I've been looking at these advertisements.

　 W：Why don't we go to the same place we went last year?

　 M：I don't want to stay at that hotel again, l have a better idea for this year. Look at this advertisement. This looks like a wonderful vacation for me.

　 W："Three weeks", "Ten exciting ports", "Use the ship as a hotel". How much does it cost'?

　 M：The price isn't given.

　 W：It must be expensive if they don't give the price in the paper. And besides, I'd rather stay in one place.

W：You know the doctor said you shouldn't try to do too much.

　　 M：Yes, please, dear：Tell her I've got a cold and have a headache, but hope Go be back in a day or two. You'd better say I'm staying in bed.

　　 W：But you're not in bed! Do you want me to tell a lie?

　　 M：Oh, it's only a very little one, dear. I'm not making a false excuse. I really have a bad headache.

　 M：What's the next problem?

W：Why do English people so often say something about the weather when they begin a talk with strangers?

　 M：Well, of course, the weather in England is always changing. We never know what to expect. If you were in a country when the weather doesn't change much, it would be difficult to say much about it. But you asked why we talk about the weather to strangers. That's an interesting question. It's probably because the weather's a subject quite safe to talk about.

　 W：It's a way of reaching agreement.

　 M：Yes. I begin by saying, "A cold morning, isn't it?" The other man says, "It certainly is." I say, "It's been cold all week," and the other man says, "Yes, we're having a very cold spring."

　 W：So far you've agreed about everything.

　 M：Yes. Then we're beginning to feel friendly. But if we start with subjects on which disagreement is possible, politics for example, we might not become friendly.

　M：I'm going through the telephone bill. It's over 10 pounds. But last month it was under 7 pounds.

　M：But the prices of long-distance calls and telegrams are very high. Who made all these expensive calls to London? I don't remember making them. Do we know any one in London?

W：Oh, they must be Jack's calls. Ann was staying in London with her uncle in October. Jack rang her up nearly every evening.

M：Oh, did he? Well, he can pay for the calls, then.

W：Jack's only earning 30 pounds a month.

M：What long talks they must have had!

W：Yes, but do remember they are young. I'll pay for Jack's calls to Ann. Father sent me a check for Christmas, you remember, I haven't spent it all yet.

M：I wasn't serious, dear. Use your father's money for yourself, I'm sure there are lots of things you like.

　　 Now, back to the news. An early morning fire damaged the historic Geller House today. It destroyed the third floor of the building, but firefighters saved the first and second floors. There were only a few elderly people living in the building at the time, and they were carried out to safety.

　　 The Geller House was built in 1718, and was used as a hotel for over 150 years. George Washington stayed here in 1782．The Geller family owned the building until the 1930's. Then they sold it to the Mills family. Five years ago, it was made into a building for the elderly.

　　 Several fire departments were called to the scene. When we asked Fire Chief Andrew Barnes how the fire started, he answered that most likely a burning cigarette caused it. Chief Barnes promised to further examine the cause.

The British are the most voracious(如饥似渴的) newspaper readers in the world.

　 They read newspapers at breakfast ; they walk to the bus reading a newspaper; they read a newspaper on bus, as they go to work; and on the way back home, after work, they are engaged in reading an evening newspaper.

　 　There are many" morning papers", both national and provincial. The most famous is The Times. Different from what many foreigners believe, this is not a government newspaper. The various newspapers usually have their own views of the Communist Morning Star. The Labor Party and the Trades Union Congress no longer have a daily newspaper to represent them.

Bold headlines and a variety of photographs are features of the British press. Some newspapers, such as the sober Daily Telegraph and The Times, use photographs sparingly(节省). The more“popular”newspapers, using the small or "tabloid"(小报) format, such as the Daily Express, the Mail, the Daily Mirror and the Sun, use pictures extensively and also run strip cartoons and humorous drawings, some of which present striking pictorial comment on politics.

Besides offering features common to newspapers all over the world, British newspapers specialize in pages devoted to criticism of the arts and a woman's page. One feature found in many foreign newspapers is missing in British papers：the serial(连载).

Nearly all papers pay special attention to the reporting of sports and athletics. The evening newspapers are often bought because the buyer wants to know the winner of a race, or to get good tip for a race that is still to be run. There is no censorship(审查) of the press in Britain (except in wartime), though of course all newspapers-like private persons-are responsible for what they publish, and can be sued for libel (为诽谤而被起诉) for publishing articles that go beyond the bounds of decency(正派), or for ignorance of court”. (e.g. calling a man a murderer while he is still being tried．Such cases are not often)

72．Which of the following does NOT serve as an evidence(证据) that the British are the great newspaper readers?

A．They read newspapers at breakfast.

B．They read newspapers at work.

C．They read newspapers on bus.

D．They read newspapers on the way back home.

[答案]B只有B项文中没有提到。

73．Many of foreigners think that_______.

A．The Times is an organ (喉舌) of the government

B．The Times has its own views on politics

C．The Times is the most famous newspaper in the world

D．The Times pays too much attention to the reporting of political events

[答案]A许多外国人认为The Times是政府的喉舌，实际上并非如此。由文章第三段可知。

74．British newspapers are characterized by ________.

　 A．bold headlines

B．various kinds of photographs

C．striking pictorial comment on politics

D．both A and B

[答案]D由第四段第一句可知。

75．Which of the following conclusions can NOT be drawn from the passage?

A．Englishmen always take every possible chance to read newspapers.

B．In Britain, newspapers must be carefully examined by the authorities(当局) before their publication for fear that they present anything offensive.

C．Few British newspapers publish libelous articles.

D．The Times is one of the world-famous newspapers.

[答案]B由最后一段There is no censorship (审查)of the press in Britain 可知，B项是不对的。

第Ⅱ卷(共35分)

　 For a long time scientists tried to predict the weather by looking at it. This did not work very well .Even if a man stands on a very high mountain, he can only see a small part of the weather. In 1820, a German scientist showed that scientists could draw a map of the way the weather moves.

　 The weather of tomorrow is far away from us. It may move at 30 miles an hour. It moves 720 miles in 24 hours.

　　 Because weather moves, the best way to predict it is to use maps. You can see a picture of the weather in large parts of the world on a map. Winter storms of rain and snow can be 1,000 miles wide. Only on a map can meteorologists (气象学家) see a storm this big.

　　 In 1820, it was difficult to make such maps. Why was it difficult? The scientists needed weather reports to make the maps. It was not easy to get weather reports quickly. Today weather reports can be easily and quickly collected from everywhere.

　　 The whole world works together now to make weather maps. Weathermen send reports from country to country in seconds. There are weather offices in many, many places. There are also weather ships, planes, weather balloons, and satellites to help the weathermen. They study the weather 24 hours a day, seven days a week. With a short time all their reports will be on maps drawn in New York, London, Tokyo, Mexico City, and many other places.

People in all these places speak different languages, but this is not a problem. Weather is international. That is, it has its own special language. And scientists in all countries can understand it. The weathermen in all countries draw maps in the same figures and numbers. A weather map from the United States or Canada looks the same as a map from Turkey, Russia or Sweden.

67．The phrase "predict the weather" in the first sentence probably means________.

　A．make pictures for the weather

　B．say what the weather is like

　 　C．say how the weather will change

D．talk about the weather

[答案]C predict the weather预测天气，指天气将如何变化。

68．The best way to predict weather is to use weather maps because ________.

　A．it is difficult to climb a high mountain

　B．it is easy to make weather maps

　C．the weather changes quickly

　 D．the weather moves quickly

[答案]D由第三段第一句即知。

69．The weather map is made by_________.

A．the weather reports from everywhere in the world

B．a weatherman who draws well

C．different maps of different places

D．a weatherman, who draws maps on the high mountains

[答案]A由第四段可知。The whole world works together now to make weather maps.

70．It is easy to make the weather maps because ________.

　A．winter storms of rain and snow can be 1,000 miles wide

B．the whole world works together and it is easier to get weather reports quickly

C．people can travel by plane

D．people have the same language

[答案]B由第四段可知。

71．Why can people who use different languages understand the same weather maps?

A．Because weather offices have been set up everywhere

B．Because weather reports can be sent from country to country in a short time

C．Because satellites can help people to get the information about weather

D．Because the weathermen in all countries draw maps in the same figures and numbers.

[答案]D最后一段讲到：It has its own special language.和draw maps in the same figures and numbers.

C

　 "Mummy, I don't know what to play with." Steve interrupts his mother, who is talking to a friend, for the fourth time. "You've got a room full of toys!" his mother says, impatiently. In fact, it is the jumble of toys which is to blame for four-year-old Steve's lack of interest in his dolls, cars and packed animals. Each morning he tips out(倒出) three washing baskets of toys all over his floor, listlessly pulls out something and shortly after is standing at his mother's desk or following her into the kitchen saying, "Mummy, I am bored."

　 A family therapist(心理医生) explains why children lose interest when they have a whole "toy shop" at home："According to their brain development, little children are not in a position to judge the quality of a variety of things at once. There is always just one favorite toy for the moment. All the rest is left lying about." What can parents do to stop their children from being oversupplied with toys？ Under no conditions should we simply make something disappear without the child's knowledge. If he/she takes no more notice of a toy, a parent can ask if it can be stored or given away. Be warned though the child will always say he/she wants it then! A talk with relatives and friends may also help. Lyn is the mother of four-year-old Jessie, and we like her way. A small set of shelves in her child's room holds the toys and books that are the current (at present) favorites. When it seems to her that her daughter is tired of these toys, they put them away in a box together and select some other toys from a cupboard in another room. The box of "old" toys goes into the cupboard．When her child says she is "bored", they also get something from her cupboard-it may be something she has had for some time but because she hasn't seen it for a while it is almost like a new toy.

Some favorite toys stay out all the time, and there is a collection of dolls which sits in the corner, and in this way Lyn has found that she has fewer toys to put away at the end of the day and her daughter always has something "fresh" to play with.

64．Steve interrupted his mother several times because________.

　A．he felt uninterested in his toys

B．he disliked his mother’s guest

C．he didn’t have enough toys to play with

D．he hoped his mother would play with him

[答案]A由第一段第三行lack of interest…可知。

65．According to the therapist, children often complain that they have nothing to play with because________.

　A．they can’t play alone for a long time

　B．they are too young to play with so many toys

　C．they are too lazy to pick out their favorites

　D．they lack the ability to value too many things at a time

[答案]D由第二段第二行little children are not in a position to judge the quality of a variety of things at once 可知。

66．Which of the following can be used in place of the underlined word "jumble" in Paragraph 1?

A．Simple choice.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 B．Mixture in disorder.　

C．Ordinary appearance.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 D．Same shape.

[答案]B jumble杂乱。这句话的意思是“是因为玩具的杂乱堆放才使孩子们对玩具等失去兴趣。”
