The number is said as high as 60% in West Germany. “Women often wish that they had the same chance as men have, and believe it is still men’s world,” said Dr James Holden, one of the scientists who did the study. Anne Harper has a very good job for an international oil company. She also believes in “Women’ s Liberation(解放)”. “I don’t wish that I were a man,” she says, “and I don’t think many women do. But I do wish that people would stop looking down upon us women. At work, for example, we often do the work that men do but get paid less. There are still a lot of jobs that are usually the best ones and open only to men. If you’re a man, you have a much ‎ better chance of leading an exciting life. How many women pilots are there ... or engineers or scientists?” 21.What can we learn from the first paragraph? ‎ A．60% women in West Germany wish that they were born men.‎ B．Most women in Western European countries wish that their babies were all boys.‎ C．60% Western European women wish that they were born men.‎ D．60% Western European women who wish that they were born men are from West Germany.‎ ‎22.“It is still men’s world.” means “______.” ‎ A．There’re more men than women in the world B．There’re more men scientists or engineers than women scientists or engineers in the world C．Women have not been given the same chance as men D．Women cannot live without men ‎23.Anne Harper considers that women should ______. ‎ A．be well paid B．live a better life than men C．be really liberated D．get better jobs than men ‎24.Anne Harper doesn’t wish that she were a man because she ______. ‎ A．has got a very good job ‎ B．isn’t looked down upon by anyone C．does the work that a man can’t do D．believes in “Women’s Liberation”‎ B ‎ You might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world’s temperature. But, rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation (撤离) of an island nation — the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.‎ ‎　　During the 20th century, sea level has risen 8～12 inches. As a result, Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water which has polluted the country’s drinking water.‎ ‎　　Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.‎ ‎　　Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their green house gas emissions (排放), which are a main cause of global warming.“By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years,” Laupepa told the BBC.‎ ‎　　Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.‎ ‎　　Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable (易受影响的) to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311 000 an“endangered nation”.‎ ‎25．The text is mainly about___________.‎ A．rapid changes in earth’s temperature? ‎ B．bad effects of global warming C．moving of a country to a new place D．reasons for lowland flooding ‎ ‎26．According to scientists, the DIRECT cause of more and fiercer storms is __________.‎ A．greenhouse gas emissions in industrialized nations B．higher surface water temperatures of the sea C．continuous global warming D．rising sea levels ‎ ‎27．Laupepa was not satisfied with the United States because it did not _________.‎ A．agree to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions B．sign an agreement with ‎Tuvalu C．allow Tuvaluans to move to the ‎US D．believe the problems facing Tuvalu were real ‎ ‎28．The country whose situation is similar to that of Tuvalu is _________.‎ A．Australia　　　　　　　　　B．New ‎Zealand C．the Maldives　　　　　　　 D．the United States ‎ C If you are interested to find a part time job or learn something different during your spare time, you can have a look at the following jobs offered by the DC Public Library.

Many famous stars brought their children to a strange village alone, and they had to spend 72 hours with their children there. The program fully showed us a modern version of the “how to be a good father”. As the young parents today are too busy to take care of their children, this new form of “Lost on the way” played by nanny Daddy and cute kids triggered（触发）a lot of people’s emotional resonance（共鸣）. Both the kids and their parents will find that their hearts are being drawn closer. But this kind of feeling has just proved that there is a big spiritual barrier between the modern parents and children.The TV shows like “Children are hard to support!”, “Where are we going, Dad?”, “hot mom” and “cute kids” are becoming more and more popular. All of these show the new parents’ confusion in children’s education and the appeal for the balance between career and family. In the real life, on the one hand, the young parents feel helpless because they are too busy to accompany their children under the pressures of work and life; on the other hand, they continue to do so. The data collected by HNTV shows that nearly two-thirds of their audience are female, among whom 36% are aged from 25 to 34.We can imagine such a scene that one evening a young mother is watching the show with her young children, while her husband is still at work or trapped in socializing, or maybe is just playing computer games in the bedroom. The story of a child without the company of father is still going on. In fact, it is sometimes the same to mothers. In a modern family, it is often the old who take the responsibility of raising a child. The participation of mother in the children’s education is also very low. It is just this kind of confusion where the parents have gone in the modern family education, and where the parents will guide their children to go that “Where are we going, Dad?” shows us. If a child wants to grow up healthily and safely into a modern citizen with independent personality and free spirit, it is very important for him or her to follow the parents who serve as their first teacher. Maybe this is the real reason why such kind of TV programs could get hot. The truth is that children will go where their parents go; and society will go where the children go.‎ ‎32.To raise a child in modern society, parents should ________. ‎ A．break down the barrier between children and teachers B．play computer games with their children C．balance well between family and career D．keep their children at home to avoid socializing ‎33.Which of the following can be inferred in the passage? ‎ A．36% of the audience of the program are female aged from 25-34.‎ B．Parents shouldn’t entirely leave the education of children to the old.‎ C．In a modern family it is often mothers who are responsible for raising a child.‎ D．The program shows us the confusion where the parents and children will go to play.‎ ‎34.What does the underlined word “participation” probably mean? ‎ A．taking responsibility B．understanding C．taking part D．keeping company ‎35.Which one is the best title of the passage? ‎ A．New problems in Modern Children’s Education B．Modern Education is Important C．Confusion Behind “Where are we going, dad?”‎ D．Nanny Daddy and Cute Kids 第二节 （共5小题； 每小题2分，满分10分。）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ There is distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding. 36 The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else. 37 Such materials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we don’t have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started. Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement. The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader’s understanding. 38_Otherwise one person could never learn from another. Here “learning” means understanding more, not remembering more information. What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding39_  Besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is approached, success of communication is achieved. 40_It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well. ‎ A．Thus, we can employ the word “reading” in two distinct senses.‎ B．Such communication between unequals must be possible.‎ C．We can get access to the content of those materials easily.‎ D．The writer must be “superior” to the reader in understanding.‎ E. The writer should have a better communicating skill. F. Besides gaining information and understanding, there’s another goal of reading—entertainment. G. Reading for entertainment is capable of increasing our understanding for information.‎ 第三部分：第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）[]‎ Many years ago, there was an emperor(皇帝).

At present, many students stay in the classroom to study during the ten-minute break between classes. In my opinion, it is very important to take a break between classes. Otherwise students will feel tired both physically and mentally. During the ten-minute break, we can do something to get rid of tiredness. What we need is to have a real rest, instead of getting more exhausted. So relaxation in that period is really of great benefit to us. As far as I’m concerned, to study effectively, we should combine our study with amusement; meanwhile, doing some sports is also a good way. As an old saying goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Only in this way will we be able to study effectively. Yours ‎ sincerely, LiHua ‎
