A
Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenager’s intended major, one located near a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe.
“The safety issue is a big one,” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn’t alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer — “That’s not a problem here.” — Mahoney began to feel uneasy.
“No crime whatsoever?” comments Mahoney today. “I just don’t buy it.” Nor should he: in 1999 the U.S. Department of Education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to colleges,” says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation.”
But getting accurate information isn’t easy. Colleges must report crime statistics （统计数字) by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. “The truth may not always be obvious,” warns S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc., the nation’s leading campus safety watchdog group.
To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.
56. The Mahoneys visited quite a few colleges last August ______.
A. to express the opinions of many parents
B. to choose a right one for their daughter
C. to check the cost of college education
D. to find a right one near a large city
57. It is often difficult to get correct information on campus crime because some colleges
______.
A. receive too many visitors B. mirror the rest of the nation
C. hide the truth of campus crime D. have too many watchdog groups
58. The underlined word “buy” in the third paragraph means ______.
A. mind B. admit C. believe D. expect
59. We learn from the text that “the honest ones” in the fourth paragraph most probably
refers to colleges ______.
A. that are protected by campus security B. that report campus crimes by law
C. that are free from campus crime D. the enjoy very good publicity
60. What is the text mainly about?
A. Exact campus crime statistics. B. Crimes on or around campuses.
C. Effective solutions to campus crime. D. concerns about kids’ campus safety.
B
Fidenzio Salvatori is determined that the city of Toronto will have an outdoor marketplace for merchants from its immigrant community, complete with dancing and other forms of amusement form their native countries. “Toronto is truly multicultural (多元文化的)，” he said in a newspaper interview. “It’s a city from many places, and multicultural marketplace will help Torontonians to understand and appreciate the rich variety of cultural groups in our city.”
Salvatori, aged 23, will soon complete his studies at the University of Toronto. He was eleven years old when he came to Canada from Italy with his parents. “Most of Toronto’s immigrants are from lands where the marketplace has always been part of daily life,” he said.
Salvatori has been interested in getting an open-air market for Toronto for the last three years. This year, with the help of two fellow students, he prepared a proposal on the subject and presented it to the city’s Executive committee, asking for their support. The proposal pointed out Toronto’s rich variety of national groups, “whose customs include market shopping.”
Under a Canadian government program for multiculturalism, the three students have received two thousand dollars with which they will do a study to find out whether Toronto’s immigrant businessmen would support an open-air market. They hope the merchants will support the plan strongly. “A study done earlier this year showed that 90 percent of shoppers would be in favor of it,” Salvatori said. “At first it would be an experiment. But we think it will prove to be good business for the merchants, as well as tourist attraction.”
61. What is Fidenzio Salvatori’s purpose of having an outdoor marketplace for Toronto?
A. To provide different forms of amusement.
B. To keep the cultural variety of the city.
C. To inspire its immigrant community.
D. To satisfy its immigrant merchants.
62. Fidenzio Salvatori, with two other students, has got two thousand dollars from the
government ______.
A. to make an experiment B. to perform a research
C. to start a marketplace D. to operate a business
63. According to Salvatori, the marketplace may also help to improve Toronto’s ______.
A. market management B. travel industry
C. community service D. city planning
64. It can be inferred from the text that the Canadian government supports ______.
A. the protection of different cultures B. the plan of an open-air market
C. the request of merchants D. the attitude of shoppers
C
Millions of people visit Yosemite National Park every year to see the tall waterfalls and mountains. These mountains are a splendid sight when viewed form the valley floor. Lots of stores, hotels, and restaurants are needed to handle the crowds. Also, water, roads, and other service systems are part of the infrastructure (基础设施) that must be maintained.
Unfortunately, these systems are starting to break down. It’s not just in Yosemite but in national parks around the nation.
Yosemite is thirty years old according to Dennis Galvin, a National Park Service worker. The Park is not only old but worn out. Two or three times as many visitors come every year. That is too many visitors for the park to deal with.
Four years ago a storm washed out a water pipeline in the Grand Canyon. The National Park Service had to send water trucks to provide water for the visitors. Last month pipes almost broke again and roads had to be closed for a while.
Why hasn’t the National Park Service kept up the park repairs? There is a lack of money. The United States has 378 monuments, parks, and wilderness areas. Between three and four billion dollars are needed for repairs.
Yosemite is one national park that does have money for repairs. It has two hundred million dollars but cannot spend it any way it chooses. When the park workers started widening the road, they were forced to stop by the Sierra Club. The club claimed that the road work was damaging the Merced River that runs through the park.
A sierra Club lawyer, Julia Olson, feels that the infrastructure needs to be moved out of Yosemite. That way less pressure will be put on the already crowded park.
65. According to the text, the mountains in Yosemite look most splendid when they are
appreciated from ______.
A. the bottom of the valleys B. the top of the mountains
C. the side of the mountains D. the edge of the valleys
66. National parks like Yosemite in the U.S. find it increasingly difficult to meet the need of
visitors because ______.
A. their transport management needs improving
B. they spend too much on their service systems
C. their service systems frequently go out of order
D. they need help from environmental organizations
67. The main problem of Yosemite National Park is its ______.
A. rundown water pipes B. overcrowdedness
C. lack of money D. narrow roads
68. According to the text, the Sierra Club is most likely to be ______.
A. an environmental group B. an information center
C. a travel service D. a law firm

A device that stops drivers form falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months.
The system, called Driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20% - 40% that are caused by tiredness. Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue.
Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband. The device, worn by drivers or pilots, gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel (方向盘). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound the driver’s response.
Tiredness is directly related to a driver’s response time. Usually, a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond, but once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.
In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds, showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest. If the driver’s response continues to slow down, the sounds become more frequent until a nonstop alarm warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.
The device has been delivered to the department’s laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months’ time, are successful, the makers will bring the product to market within about a year.
72. According to the text, Driver Alert ______.
A. aims to reduce tiredness-related accidents
B. has gone through testing at laboratories
C. aims to prevent drivers form sleeping
D. has been on sale for 12 months
73. How should a driver respond to the sounds from Driver Alert?
A. By sounding a warning. B. By touching the wristband.
C. By checking the driving time. D. By pressing the steering wheel.
74. We can learn form the text that the driver needs to stop for a break when his response time is ______.
A. about 400 milliseconds B. below 500 milliseconds
C. over 500 milliseconds D. about 4 minutes
75. When the driver gets sleepy while driving, Driver Alert ______.
A. moves more regularly B. stops working properly
C. opens the window for the driver D. sounds more frequently and loudly

语法和词汇知识
21．B 本题考查一组副词的用法。根据题意，此处要表达的意思是“可是我想去。”故选择though。此处though为副词，意为“不过、可是”，常置于句末。
22．D 本题考查交际用语。此处是回答对方提出的请求，故选择With pleasure。
23．B 本题考查了冠词的特殊用法。第一空将专有名词转化为普通名词，表示“某一位John Lennon”, 其前可用不定冠词a; 第二空用定冠词the，表特指，意为 “但不是那位著名的John Lennon”。
24．B 本题考查一组引导状语从句的连词的用法。根据题意 “过了一段时间我们才意识到真相。”此处连词的本意为“在……之前”，故选择D before。句型为“It was +一段时间+ before …”
25．D本题考查了两个知识点。其一是主谓一致：根据quantity的用法，quantities of +复数名词， a quantity of +单数名词，故排除 A、B项；其二考查了语态，土壤是被冲走的，故选择D。
26．C本题考查了引导名词性从句的连词的用法。四个选项中只有what和which可以在从句中充当主语，而which 在名词从句中意为“哪一个”，因此在本题中意思不对，故选择C。
27．B 根据题干，可知应选用非谓语动词，故排除A项。此处非谓语动词作结果状语，不定式作结果状语时，仅表意料之外的事情，而此处表结果状态，因此选择B。
28．B 由题干中的than可知，应选择比较级。a +比较级+名词意为“一个更。。。的人/物”，而the +比较级意为 “两者中较……的一个”。根据题意，可知答案为B。
29．A本题考查一组动词的`用法。此处动词意为“忍受、经受 ”，因此选择A。
30．C本题考查的是“介词+关系代词”引导非限制性定语从句的用法，因此排除B、D两项。根据题干，此处which 指代前面整个主句，因此介词应选用 after, 意为“他在当地的一所语法学校接受教育之后，又去了剑桥。”
31． C本题考查了强调句的特殊疑问句，重点考查了疑问词。根据答语可知问的是“他是怎样得到这个消息的？”故选C。
32．A本题考查短语动词的用法。give out意为“用完、用光”。
33. B 本题考查交际用语的用法。此处回答的是别人的建议，意为“好啊，当然”，应选择B项Why not?
34. A本题考查虚拟语气中情态动词的用法。根据题干可看出此处句意为“他本来可以免费入场”，因此应用could have done。
35． B本题考查的是对句子结构的理解。考生很容易误选A或C , 误理解为be used to doing 或be used to do。而此题中be used to的宾语为 the country life, he was used to为定语从句，修饰the country life。我们选择的应该是主句的谓语动词。因主语为the country life ，因此谓语动词 应选用has changed。
完形填空
36．C 由第三段可知，作者的父亲是位lawyer
37. C 由上下文的语境可知作者要表达的是“父亲是与众不同的”
38．A 由前文中的never criticized us,可知此处应用criticized的反义词，故选择praise

41. C 句意为“任何时候……”。故选any
42. B 此处介词的意思是“在。。。身上”
43．D 此处短语意思为“作为回报”，因此用in return
44. D 本句意为“遵循这个原则”，故答案为 follow

50. A 根据上下文可知，作者的父亲对此“一直”很后悔，因此答案为always
51. B 表转折
52．D 由上文可知，句意为“没有追求自己的‘梦想’”
53．C 选择形式主语，故答案为it
54. B 由上文可知作者创办的是一份杂志

Dear Sir or Madam,
I#39;m a student from Xinhua Middle School. I#39;m glad to learn that you want a few part-time English reporters. I#39;m quite interested in it.
I think I#39;m fit for the job. As a student, I#39;ve read a lot and have much knowledge in many fields. I#39;m fond of English and do well in both speaking and writing. Besides, I#39;m easy to get along with and enjoy working together with others. Above all, I once worked as a reporter for my school broadcasting station. So I#39;m sure I can do the job well if I get the position.
I#39;m looking forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
