Someone said encouragement is simply reminding a person of the
“shoulders” he’s standing on, the heritage he’s been 36 . That’s what happened when a young
man, the son of a star baseball player, was 37 by one of the minor league teams. As hard
as he tried, his first season was 38 and by midseason he expected to be
released any day.
The coaches were puzzled by his 39 because he 40 all the characteristics of an excellent
athlete, but he couldn’t seem to incorporate (并入) those 41 into a coordinated (協(xié)調(diào)) effort. He seemed to have become
disconnected from his 42 .
His future seemed 43 one day when he had already struck out
his first time at bat. Then he 44 up to the batter’s box again and quickly
ran up two strikes. The catcher called a time ? out and ran to the pitcher’s
mound for a conference. 45 they were busy, the referee, standing
behind the plate, spoke 46 to the boy.
Then play continued, the next pitch (投球) was thrown－and the young man 47
it out of
the park. That was the turning point. From
then on, he played the game with a new 48 and power that 49 drew the attention of the parent team,
and he was 50 to the majors.
On the day he was leaving for the city, one of his coaches asked him
what had caused such a turnaround. The young man replied it was the encouraging
51 the referee had made that day when his
baseball career had seemed doomed (注定失敗).
“He told me I reminded him of all the times he had stood 52 my dad in the batter’s box,” the boy
explained. “He said I was holding the bat just the way Dad had held it. And he
told me, ‘'I can see his genes in you; you have .your father’s 53 .’ After that, 54 I swung the bat, I just 55 I was using Dad’s arms instead of my
own.”
TOKYO (Reuters) ? “Who played the father in the movie ‘Kramer
versus Kramer’?” That’s one of the 50 questions Japanese men could
face in a “daddy exam”, meant to raise awareness about fatherhood in
a
country where men tend to work long hours and leave their wives in
charge of childcare and household chores.
Even men who remember Dustin Hoffman struggling as a father in
the movie may have a hard time answering
questions ranging from potty
training and baby food to politics, such as
the percentage of gross
domestic product used for parenting
support.
Tetsuya Ando, director of Fathering Japan, a Tokyo non-profit organization that came up
with the test and will offer it to eager dads from next March, said the exam
was a catchy way to get fathers into parenting. “There just isn't enough
information about parenting for fathers. Through the exam, we want men to
realize that they don't know anything about child-rearing,” he said.
For the price of 3,900 yen ($34), fathers can find out whether they
qualify as a “Super Dad,” or are in need of more effort as a “Challenge Dad.”
“We have received inquiries(咨詢) from fathers, single men, to-be-dads, grandfathers ... even an
aunt who was concerned that her nephew is too busy with work to notice the fun
of parenting,” Ando said. The image of fathers is gradually changing in Japan
as younger men eschew their own dads’ hands-off approach in favor of
closer involvement, and a wave of new parenting magazines for male readers has
been hitting newsstands. But it is still hard for Japanese fathers to cut down
on their work hours and spend more time with their families. Only 0.5 percent
of employed men in Japan
took parental leave in 2005, as opposed to 14 percent in the United States and 12 percent in Britain
in 2000.
56．The “daddy exam” is intended to .
A．test to ? be ? dads’ fatherhood
knowledge
B．test Challenge Dad’s parenting
knowledge
C．a(chǎn)ttract the whole society’s
attention to parenting
D．have fathers realize their
responsibility for their families
57．In the exam, the Japanese fathers
may find that .
A．they almost know nothing about the
questions
B．the questions only make sense to to
? be ? dads
C．there is ample information about
parenting
D．it’s not a good way to get them
into parenting
58．The underlined word “eschew”
in the last paragraph can be replaced by the word “”.
59．The magazines for male readers are
popular most probably because many men .
A．long to know how to do household
chores
B．become more concerned about
parenting
C．want to get high scores in the 50 ?
question test
D．like to know whether they are
Challenge Dads
60．From the whole report, it can be
inferred that .
A．Japanese fathers show no interest
in parenting
B．young Japanese men tend to set
about parenting
C．young fathers value parenting less
than their fathers
D．Japanese fathers value parenting
more than British fathers

Leading investors have joined the growing chorus of concern about
governments and companies rushing into producing biofuels as a solution for
global warming, saying that many involved in the sector could be jeopardizing
future profits if they do not consider the long ? term impact of what they are
doing carefully.
It is essential to build sustainability criteria into the supply
chain of any green fuel project in order to ensure that there is no adverse
effect on the surrounding environment and social structures. The report
produced by the investors expresses concern that many companies may not be
fully aware of the potential pitfalls in the biofuel sector.
Production of corn and soya beans has increased dramatically in the
last years as an ecofriendly alternative to fossil fuels but environmental and
human rights campaigners are worried that this will lead to destruction of rain
forests. Food prices could also go up as there is increased competition for
crops as both foodstuffs and sources of fuel. Last week, the UN warned that
biofuels could have dangerous side effects and said that steps need to be taken
to make sure that land converted to grow biofuels does not damage the
environment or cause civil unrest. There is already great concern about palm
oil, which is used in many foods in addition to being an important biofuel, as
rain forests are being cleared in some countries and people driven from their
homes to create palm oil plantations.
An analyst and author of the investors’ report says that biofuels
are not a cure for climate change but they can play their part as long as
governments and companies manage the social and environmental impacts
thoroughly. There should also be greater measure taken to increase efficiency
and to reduce demand.
61．What is the best title of this
passage?
A．Worries about Global Warming B．Our World Is Going Green
C．Biofuel and Environment D．New Energy Resource - Biofuels
62．In the first paragraph there is a

A．biofuel industry isn’t booming
B．the quality of biofuels hasn’t
improved
C．biofuels aren’t a way for global
warming

reward
63．As is suggested in the passage,
some measures should be taken to .
A．keep biofuel industry developing
soundly
B．prevent biofuel industry developing
slowly
C．make people realize climate change
D．raise awareness about global
warming
64．In the author’s view, .
A．investors should not spend money on
biofuel industry
B．it’s unnecessary for companies to
concern environment
C．crops needn’t be grown for biofuels
in the future
D．biofuel is a possible way to fight
global warming

With thousands of
years of history and mythology in its area, Athens―named for the olive-tree-loving
Athena---is more than a concrete jungle. It’s a lovely city decorated by
outdoor cafes, pedestrian streets, parks, gardens and plenty of characters. If
you get into the spirit of things, you might not even notice the smoke and fog
hanging overhead.
The city is
connected three sides by Mt Parnitha, Mt Pendeli and Mt Hymettos. Within Athens there are no less
than eight hills, of which the Acropolis and Lykavitos are the most famous. The
hills provide a peaceful rest from the noise of the city.
Just about
everything of interest to the traveler is within a small area surrounding
Plateia Syntagmatos (Syntagma
Square). This area is connected with the districts
of Plaka to the south, Monastiraki to the west, Kolonaki to the east and
Omaonia to the north.
Plateia Syntagmatos
is dominated by the old RoalPalace and is the beating
heart of the business district, with luxury hotels, banks and airline offices.
Plaka, nestled below the Acropolis, is the old Turkish quarter and virtually
all that existed when Athens was declared the
capital of independent Greece.
Though Plaka is packed with tourists in high season, it’s also one of the
prettiest and most atmospheric areas of the city. Monastiraki is the market
district and a fascinating part of town to wander. Psiri, nearby, is full of
stylish cafes and bars and makes a great place to stop for a rest of lunch.
Kolonaki, a classy living area, is full of trendy boutiques, art galleries and
cafes.

During the past few years, scientists in the world have suddenly
found themselves productively engaged in task they once spent their lives
avoiding ? writing, and kind of writing, but particulary letter writing.
Encouraged by electronic mail’s surprisingly high speed, convenience and
economy, people who never before touched the stuff are regularly, skillfully,
even cheerfully tapping out a great deal of correspondence.
electronic journals. Anyone with a personal
computer, a modern and the
software to link computers over telephone
lines can sign on. An estimated
five million scientists have done so with
more joining every day, most
of them communicating through a bundle of
interconnected domestic
and foreign routes known collectively as
the Internet, or net.
E-mail is starting to edge out the fax, the telephone,
overnight mail,
and of course, land mail. It
shrinks time and distance between scientific
collaborators, in part because it
is conveniently asynchronous (writers can type while their colleagues across
time zones sleep; their message will be waiting). If it is not yet speeding
discoveries, it is certainly accelerating communication.
Jeremy Bernstei, the physicist and science writer, once called
E-mail the physicist’s umbilical cord (生命線). Lately other people, too, have been discovering its connective
virtues. Physicists are using it; college students are using it, everybody is
using it, and as a sign that it has come of age, the New Yorker has celebrated
its liberating presence with a cartoon―an appreciative dog seated at a
keyboard, saying happily, “On the
Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.”
69．The reasons given below about the
popularity of E ? mail can be found in the passage except .
A．direct and convenient B．time ? saving in delivery
C．money ? saving D．a(chǎn)vailable around the clock
70．How is the Internet or net explained in the passage? _____
A．Electronic routes used to fax or
correspond overnight.
B．Electronic routes used to read home
and international journals.
C．Electronic routes waiting for
correspondence while one is sleeping.
D．Electronic routes connected among
millions of users, home and abroad.
71. Which
statement is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence in the third
paragraph?_____
A．It shrinks time for communication
and accelerates discoveries
B．Although it does not speed up
correspondence, it helps make discoveries.
C．It quickens communication even if
it does not accelerate discoveries.
D．The quick speed of correspondence
may have ill ? effects on discoveries.
72．What will happen to fax, land mail, overnight mail, etc. according
to the writer? _____
A．They will co-exist with E-mail for
a long time.
B．Fewer and fewer people will use
them.
C．Their functions cannot be replaced
by E-mail.
D．They will play an additional
function to E ? mail.

In America, drivers’ education is part
of regular high school curriculum. Every student in his or her second year of
high school is required to take a class in driver’s education. However, unlike
other courses, it is not given during the regular school year. Instead, it is a
summer course.
The course is
divided up into two parts: class time for learning laws and regulations and
driving time to practise driving. Class time is not unlike any other class. The
students have a text from which they study the basic laws they must know to
pass the written driving test that is given to anyone wanting to get a driver’s
license.
Driving time is a
chance for the students to get behind the wheel (steering wheel) and practise
starting steering, backing up, parking, switching lanes, turning corners, and
all the other maneuvers required to drive a car. Each student is required to
drive a total of six hours. The students are divided up into groups of four.
The students and the instructor go out driving for two-hour blocks of time.
Thus, each student gets half an hour driving time per outing. The instructor
and “driver” sit in the front seats and the other three students sit in the
back.
Drivers Ed cars are
unlike other cars in which they have two sets of brakes, one on the driver’s
side and one on the other side where the instructor sits. Thus, if the student
driver should run into difficulties the instructor can take over. The car also
has another special feature. On the top of the car is a sign that reads:
STUDENT DRIVER. That lets nearby drivers know that they should use extra
caution because the student driver is a beginning driver, not very experienced
and prone to driving slowly.
After the student
has passed the driver’s education course and reached the appropriate age to
drive (this age differs in every state but in most cases the person must be 16
years old), they can go to a designated state office to take their driver’s
test, which is made up of an eye examination, a written test, and a road test.
The person must pass all three tests in order to be given a driver’s license.
If the person did well in his or her driver’s education class, he or she will
pass the test with flying colors and get a driver’s license.
73．In America, the driver’s course
mentioned above __________.
A．is considered as part of the
advanced education
B．is given to anyone wanting to get a
driver’s license
C．is carried on at the same time as
other courses
D．is offered to all the students of
Grade 2 in high
schools
74．We can infer that the students are
required to __________ in their whole driving practice.
A．go out driving for twelve
times
B．spend at least six hours driving
C．drive for two-hour blocks of
time
D．get half an hour driving
75．In the last sentence,the underlined
phrase “with flying colors”means _________.
A．happily B．successfully C．colorfully D．quickly

Learning to study is not difficult. The first
thing to remember is that you must be willing to learn. It doesn't mean that
you must always like the subject. It does mean, however, that you must be
willing to learn whatever is necessary. Try to understand why it is important
and how it will help you now and later. Knowing mathematical facts will be
useful in your whole life. Knowing how to spell words makes any kind of writing
easier. Sometimes the subject that you think is going to be uninteresting will
be attractive when you begin to work on it. Learning things can be fun if you
can try your best.
Here's some advice for you. Have a certain time
each day and a quiet place with good lighting for study, so that you can
concentrate on your study without interruptions. Have everything ready before
you sit down to study, a dictionary, paper, a pen and books. Be sure you
understand what you should learn before you start. Read carefully and pay
special attention to the most important things. When memorizing, find out the
main parts and then recite the whole thing. Check your homework after you
finish it. Never forget the importance of review and preview.
