Alone in the wilderness. Nothing but jungle. A world of shadow with the rays of light falling like blonde hair from the crowns of the giant trees. Jungle in the midday sun. Everything motionless. Not a sound from sky or earth. Complete silence. Only some coconuts falling, at long intervals, very far away. The world reduced to the soft touch of cool grass along my naked back, and a sweet smell of rich soil and vegetation. Stretched out with closed eyes beside my heavy burden of fruit and firewood, I enjoyed the feeling of fresh blood streaming through every part of my body and fresh jungle air filling every corner of my lungs.
Resting motionless, I could see the sun through my closed eyelids, alone in the sky, as lonely as I, and as motionless and silent as everything else. The earth had surely stopped turning and somewhere on this planet there was supposed to be roaring traffic in busy streets. What a crazy, unbelievable thought!
Another coconut fell, to make the world come to a complete standstill. I had to roll over onto my stomach to feel that at least I could move and make noises. Then I found company. A little brown ant was struggling to find its way with a bit of dry straw through the jungle of leaves and grass below my nose. I wondered if I could give the little fellow a lift with its burden, but it showed not the slightest sign of tiredness and struggled on with all six legs, head first or head last, waving its feelers energetically as if the trip had just started. Who ever saw a tired ant? Tiredness, disagreeable tiredness, is restricted to hunted animals, slaves and modern man . It is as great an effort for an office clerk to walk five blocks with a loaded brief-case as it is for a jungle-dweller to cross a valley with a goat on his back. It is as hard to get up and climb or run when you have been seated for years as it is to get up and walk when you have been in bed for months. The body is strange. Spare it, and you get really tired for almost nothing; use it, and almost nothing makes you really tired.
I rose to my feet. I had heard a horse neighing down in the valley. Above me, on the open highland plains, there were wild horses. But down in the valley there was never a horse unless there was a man on it. Somebody was making his way up the valley and my wife was alone.
59．The author mentions coconuts’ falling to .
A．show his loneliness B．a(chǎn)dd beauty to the jungle
C．express his love of nature D．stress the absolute silence
60．How does the author feel about the ant?
A．He admired its attitude toward work.
B．He was amazed at its tireless efforts.
C．He showed sympathy for the little ant.
D．He was content to have it as a companion.
61．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author would probably .
A．work harder than before B．talk to the man on the horse
C．make his way home D．stay in the valley
62．We can learn from the passage that the author .
A．enjoyed being alone B．had an unforgettable adventure
C．missed his busy life in the city D．experienced a world of quietness
C
Anyone who ever wondered why a dying plant, say, a freshly-cut red rose may appeal to a lady friend, might take some comfort in science, which once again offers us a reasonable answer to one of the world’ s great mysteries.
Beyond a common preference in people for blue, “the long history of color preference studies has been described as ‘confusing and contradictory,” write scientists Anya Hurlbert and Yazhu Ling of England’ s Newcastle University, authors of a new study in the journal Current Biology. “This fact is perhaps surprising,” they said, “though the popularity of the concept that little girls differ from boys in preferring pink.”
But the scientists believe they have an answer to this scientific mystery, discovering women’s preference for red, hidden above the average liking for blue.
In their study, the pair
quickly flashed color cards, displaying many different aspects, at 208
volunteers, mostly Britishers but with a number of Han Chinese, who moved to
the
Puzzled, the authors realized that most of the difference between men and women came in the form of a preference for green VS red in the color cards, regardless of the other slight differences such as the slightly blue ones that everyone liked. Why might this be?
Evolution might offer an answer, they reason. Human color perception(感知), the assessment of three separate color types ― red ― green ― blue― in our vision (視覺(jué)) is a relatively recent addition to our line of mammals(脯乳動(dòng)物).
Adding weight to their argument, they found the women who are most typically feminine(女性的) on a psychological survey also had the biggest preference for reddish colors. “My love is like a red, red rose,” wrote the Scottish poet Rober Burns in 1794.
63. The scientists discovered the colour mystery that exists between men and women by _____.
A. giving examples B. doing experiments
C. stating causes and effects D. interviewing volunteers
64. The word “pair” in Para.4 refers to _____.
A. man and woman B. science and evolution
C. Anya Hurlbert and Yazhu Ling D. red and green
65. According to the study the scientists have carried out in the passage, _____.
A. men like blue most
B. women have preference for red besides blue
C. generally speaking boys prefer slight pink to blue
D. girls also love slight green
66. What does the first paragraph probably tell us ?
A. Science can make people feel more comfortable.
B. When we are bored, we can turn to science for help.
C. Science can make our study confusing and contradictory.
D. Scientific research contributes to people’s discovering the mystery.

Dancing the night away
It is a measure of how little control I have over my own life that in middle March I am escorting(護(hù)送) a pretty young redhead to a debutante ball. (A formal presentation of young ladies when they reach the age of maturity. This was originally used in the past to introduce young ladies to society so that they could meet a possible marriage partner , so it was for the upper class, the nobility (貴族)and titled families. At a debutante ball, the expensively-dressed girls stand in a line to be introduced individually. Their fathers then walk them, arm-in-arm around the dance floor, followed by a waltz.)
"Daddy, you OK?" she asks.
"Never better," I lie.
"Good," she says, hugging my shoulder and giggling (咯咯笑).
Generally, deb balls belong to the upper class, and that is decidedly not us. The other day, I was trying to figure out which to buy ― a garage door opener, or a DVD player. Both were broken, yet we could afford to replace only one. That's how "upper class" we are. We're more like "fixer upper class."
So it's a mystery how we ended up at this deb ball. Two mothers are checking for alcohol, making sure the debs aren't drinking.
Anyway, they won't let the dads eat dinner till we "present" the girls, which means we have to escort our daughters around the dance floor one by one, as the mistress (女主人) of ceremonies reads out the young lady's accomplishments.
"Trish plans to attend Stanford in the fall, where she will study molecular (分子) engineering in hopes of one day developing a way to help predict earthquakes."
On and on these introductions go. One girl hopes to grow food on Mars.
After the introductions we finally get to the Big Waltz. For the last month, the dads and daughters have all been taking lessons for the Big Waltz, under the direction of the widow (遺孀) of Otto von Bismarck. Fortunately, she is a people person.
"Forward, BACK!" she screamed, while teaching us to waltz.
Her gentle directions have worked miracles. Suddenly, on this big night, we are a well-organized team of 27 father-daughter dance pairs.
Honestly, waltzing is like math, in the sense that some people never get it.
The relative success of this Big Waltz comes as a huge relief to the mothers, who have been planning this ceremony for six years and have been a little tense lately.
In the end, everything turned out OK at the deb ball. The 27 dads developed into a fairly supportive fellowship. And the little red-haired girl? She hugged my shoulder and giggled happily, making it all ― the waltz lessons, the rental tuxedo (男士正式晚禮服), the 14 years of coaching softball ― worth every awful-wonderful moment.
67. We
know from the passage that at the debutant ball ________.
A. the mothers felt relieved after the ceremony began
B. well-dressed girls were introduced to their future husbands
C. the writer’s daughter, a red-haired girl, was the focus of attention
D. 27 father-daughter dance pairs presented a successful waltz show
68. By saying "it’s a mystery how we ended up at this deb ball" the writer suggests that _______.
A. as a member from the upper class he can attend the ball
B. it’s the first time for him to attend such a grand ceremony
C. the deb ball is usually held for rich families but his is not
D. many families want to attend the ball so it wasn’t easy for him to get in
69. According to the writer, waltzing is like math because ________.
A. both are not easy to learn
B. they are something you need a gift to learn well
C. the writer can not learn either waltzing or math well
D. girls from the upper class should learn either of them
70. The writer feels all his efforts were worthwhile because his daughter________.
A. really enjoyed the experience
B. was introduced into the upper class
C. showed her accomplishments at the ball
D. had a chance to meet a good marriage partner

第四部分 任務(wù)型閱讀 (共10小題；每小題1分, 滿(mǎn)分10分)

The world
hasn't seen a pandemic in 41 years, when the "
The outbreak of SARS in 2003 rang alarm bells as potential pandemics. Although it jumped the "animal-to-human" barrier, neither disease changed enough to enable human-to-human infection. Strictly speaking, SARS did not become pandemics because it was too good at killing their hosts. For a pandemic, it needs to be able to maintain human-to-human contact without killing its host off.
" H1N1 flu is already a man-to-man disease, which makes it much more difficult to manage. And H1N1 flu appears much more infectious than SARS."
But the WHO warns, it cannot say whether or not it will indeed cause a pandemic. According to experts, here's what the world might see if there is another pandemic, based on past experience:
The disease would skip from city to city over an 18-to-24 month period, infecting more than a third of the population. World health Organization officials believe as many as 1.5 billion people around the globe would seek medical care and nearly 30 million would seek hospitalization. Based on the last pandemic and current world population, as many as 7 million people could die. Hospitals will become overcrowded, schools will close, businesses will close, airports will be empty. Business will become very bad, as people avoid as much social contact as possible.
Health facilities will become overrun with patients and there would be less-than-adequate staffing, as medical health professionals fall ill themselves and that would result in higher deaths.
The very young and very old will likely be the most susceptible(易受感染的) to the illness. Experts warn, much is still unknown about the current H1N1 flu virus and its severity and it is too early to say whether it will lead to a pandemic. Right now, the focus is on finding answers and controlling the spread.
Title: It’s Not a Pandemic yet!
Three diseases mentioned
● “Hong Kang” flu
● 72
● H1N1 flu
Some 71 about SARS and H1N1 flu
● SARS didn’t change 73 to enable sustained
human-to-human infection.
● SARS was very good at killing its 74
● A man with H1N1 flu can infect 75 man.
● Comparing SARS and H1N1 flu, SARS is not 76
infectious.
Possible consequence of H1N1 flu
● The disease would 77 very fast.
● Around 1.5 billion people in the world will need 78 care.
Experts’ 79
Much is still unknown about 80 H1N1 is leading to pandemic or not.

My son was badly hurt in a fire. After he 36 from a series of treatments, the doctors told him they would not do any operation for six months 37 it took long for the skin to stop shrinking (收縮). So, he had to return to college with a visible 10-inch 38 on his face.

One of my friends in college was very 48 . At first, when people met him, they noticed his 49 for about 10 seconds.

China news, Beijing, Feb. 9 ? Housing price in China has
always aroused heated discussions among property developers and ordinary
Chinese. To many property developers and local government officials, housing
price in China is still low compared with many developed countries. However,
the average housing price in the United States is only 8,000 yuan per square
meter, while in China, it is even higher than in the United States. This shows
that there are some bubbles(泡沫) in Chinese real estate market, the
International Finance News reported.
Although the average price of residential houses in the
United States, after converted to Renminbi, is about 8,000 yuan per square
meter, the houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese
property developers do when they sell their houses. If US property developers
sell their houses according to the building area, then the housing price will
be even lower than 8,000 yuan per square meter. In most big Chinese cities,
such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, houses are sold at a price even higher
than those in the US.
The high housing sales price
in large cities in China proves that Chinese real estate market does have some
bubbles. Moreover, Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in US in
terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities. Furthermore,
it should be noted that American people’s average income is several dozen times
higher than that of Chinese people. How can the Chinese afford to buy a house
which is even more expensive than that sold in US?
At the beginning of 2007, Chinese government issued a set of
policies that aimed to benefit the public. Now in order to reduce the high
housing prices, the government can regulate(控制) the real estate
market by raising tax on property industry and controlling the release of loans
and lands to property developers. At the same time, the government should allow
people to build more houses through various fund-raising channels, such as
funds collected from buyers or raised by working units. By applying these
multiple means, it is expected that the high housing prices can be lowered.
56. What is the average housing price per square meter in China?
A. 8000 yuan. B. 10000
yuan.
C. 7000 yuan. D. It’s
not mentioned here.
57. Which of the following does NOT support the idea that the average
housing price in China is even higher than in the United States?
A. Chinese houses can not be
compared with houses in US in terms of building quality, environment and
supporting facilities.
B. American people’s average income
is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people.
C. The houses in US are not sold in
terms of building area, as most Chinese property developers do when they sell
their houses.
D. The population who need houses
in China is larger than in the United Stated.
58. How many measures are mentioned in the last paragraph in order to reduce
the high housing prices?
A. Four.
B. Three.
C. Two.
D. One.
59. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The housing price in China is so high that the government should do something useful to
prevent it.
B. There are some bubbles in Chinese
real estate market.
C. The average housing price in
China is even higher than in the United States.
D. Chinese government issued a set
of policies that aimed to benefit the public.

When people ask me why I’m so negative, I always tell them I’m simply looking out for my best interests and everyone else’s. But negativity gets a bad reputation. Everywhere you look, someone’s talking about the power of positive thinking.
My life is good and I contribute it to imagining the worse and then being pleasantly surprised when the worst doesn’t happen. Last week, I read about a report out of the Netherlands suggesting this outlook increases my chances of dying from heart disease.
This news might have moved me to change my ways, but then I saw an article about some new data from Denmark. Over the last three decades, Danes have been shown to have higher rates of “l(fā)ife satisfaction” than any other Western country. Their key to contentment? Low expectations.
As the article explained, Danes know they don’t come from the largest, blondest or most temperate nation on the earth. They don’t expect to be the winners of any game. So when good things happen, they are that much happier.
This is the philosophy I’ve been living for years. It’s why I go to every party expecting to have a miserable time and leave for every vacation thinking it will rain. These things rarely happen, so every time things don’t turn out so bad, I’m relieved and joyful. That’s the power of negative thinking.
I strongly doubt if there is a sense of contentment being too positive, especially when expectation gets confused with hope. Americans seem unable to separate these ideas. Our entire belief is wrapped up in the myth of turning dreams into reality, of constantly reaching for higher goals, of never settling. Obviously, this can-do spirit turned us into the most powerful nation in the world. But I’ve always thought we would get better results with a belief like “the pursuit of contentment”.
It is interesting how it sounds strange that people often hope to get the best, while making preparations for the worst”. But that’s the problem with positive thinking. Because it ignores
satisfaction, which is really desirable, and runs after high expectations, which are less likely to be
achieved. So let’s stop being so optimistic.
60. What is the main reason why Danes have higher rates of “l(fā)ife satisfaction”?
A. Danes live a rich life. B. Danes have few social problems.
C. Danes are very optimistic. D. Danes don’t expect too much.
61. What does “this outlook” in the 2nd paragraph refer to?
A. Positive thinking. B. Negative thinking
C. Setting a high goal. D. Imaging a bright future.
62. Where does the writer come from?
A. The Netherlands B. Denmark C. The U.S.A. D. Japan
63. Which of the following proverbs agrees with the writer’s point of view?
A. Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched.
B. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
C. God helps those who help themselves.
D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
C
Heading back to the room for dinner and a hot shower may sound like the act of a tired tourist, but in the traditional Japanese inn --- or ryokan --- those activities can be as interesting as anything along the sightseeing trail. “People going looking for a sort of nostalgic (懷舊的),old-fashioned, traditional view of Japanese life will find it most easily in a ryokan,” said Peter Grilli, president of Japan Society of Boston, Massachusetts.
Many ryokan spang up in the 17th century to put up feudal lords (領(lǐng)主) traveling along Tokaido highway to Edo (now Tokyo). Today tourists looking for a taste of the country’s historic lifestyle find varying levels of understated elegant in ryokan throughout the country.
A typical stay starts with a greeting from the inn’s staff and a change from street shoes into slippers. An attendant leads guests to their rooms, where slippers are removed before walking on the rice straw flooring, called tatami. Walking slowly along behind a kimono-clad (和服) attendant on the creaky wood floods of Fukuzumiro ryokan’s hallways is like stepping back in time. The inn was established in 1890 by a former samurai(武士).
Tim Paterson, 33, a banker living in Tokyo, has stayed at several ryokan. This New Zealand native leaves after a recent stay at Fukuzumiro. “I think it’s quite good mixing culture with history and not just going to see it, but living in it, staying in it.” he said. Sliding glass doors line the inn’s rural hallways, bringing in the sound of trickling water and the quietness of the stone and tree-filled courtyards outside.
64. From the 1st paragraph, we can see that ________.
A. there is no dinner or a hot shower in ryokan
B. such activities as dinner and shower in ryokan can take you back in time
C. such activities as dinner and shower mean the same both in ordinary inns and traditional inns
D. such activities as dinner and shower are more important than the sightseeing for tourists
65. What’s the purpose of building so many ryokan in the 17th century?
A. To provide rooms for the noble when they travelled.
B. To keep the Japanese traditional style of life.
C. To make people feel elegant in the ryokan.
D. To attract more tourists to put up in the ryokan.
66. Which of the following shows the right order of tourists entering the ryokan?
a. An attendant shows guests to their room
b. The guests take off their shoes
c. The staff greet the guests
d. The guests walk on tatami
e. The guests take off slippers
f. The guests put on slippers
A. bcdefa B. cbfaed C. cadbef D. badecf
67. From Tim Paterson’s words, in the last paragraph, we can infer that ______.
A. he will never stay in such a ryokan again
B. he stays in such a ryokan just for its long history
C. he feels relaxed and culturally enriched
D. he would rather live in such a ryokan than go back home
D
Peaceful Use of Space Resources Drives China’s Space Program
China’s successful launch of its manned spacecrafts has drawn worldwide applause. It has become the third nation in the world capable of putting men into space.
It is widely believed home and abroad that the latest progress made by China will surely improve national cohesiveness（內(nèi)聚力）and make the country’s 1.3 billion people more confident in their future in terms of social and economic progress.
However, some people in and outside China describe China’s manned space program as a prestige project which yields little economic benefit.
They argue that billions of US dollars spent on the decade-old space program may be better used for poverty relief and education as millions of Chinese still have a poor living and many children cannot afford basic schooling. However, mankind does need to make use of space resources for sustainable human development.
Space technology has become increasingly important for the exploration and peaceful use of space resources due to the shrinking reserve of natural resources on the Earth.
Lunar reserve of isotope helium 3 is sufficient for human need for about 10,000 years, which is attractive to the mankind being troubled by high oil prices and limited oil reserve.
China has benefited from the dividend of its investment in space sector. Space technology has become an indispensable part of people’s daily life, such as weather forecast, telecommunications, disaster reduction, and resources prospecting.
Striving hard to feed its 1.3 billion people and more in the future, China has been developing improved species of crops on the basis of space technology, mostly through recoverable satellites and spacecraft.
Information obtained from Shenzhou-3 and Shenzhou-4 in earth observation has been used for maritime(海上的) pollution control and desertification control projects, which is useful for China and other parts of the world.
China has listed space technology and information technology among the country’s seven high-tech fields in its national high-tech research and development program initiated in 1986.
68. Which point of view may the author agree to?
A. It is unnecessary to explore resources in space.
B. The successful launch proves that our space technology is the most advanced in the world.
C. The successful launch is of great significance to the development of our country.
D. Though the launch is successful, China yields almost no economic benefits from it.
69. What does the underlined word perhaps mean in the 3rd paragraph?
A. Fame. B. Success. C. Failure. D. Pride.
70.Some people think China’s manned space program is of little economic value as they think about the following EXCEPT ____.
A. there are many poor areas in China lacking supports
B. many children can’t go to school because of poverty
C. it will delay the progress of economy
D. it cost too much on the space program
71. Which supports the idea of the underlined sentence in paragraph 4?
A. The mankind was once troubled by high oil prices and limited oil reserve.
B. There will be enough useful resources for human use on the earth.
C. The mankind is feeling nothing about less and less oil resource.
D. Natural resources are shrinking all over the world.
72. Space technology of China has functioned in __________ aspects.
A. Eight. B. Seven C. Six D. Five

There looked to be little relief ahead for farmers in Henan province this week, with experts predicting the severe drought that has starved their crops for more than 120 days will continue.
Liu Mancang, vice-governor of the province, had felt raindrops on his face as he walked to his office on Saturday. Hoping it signaled the end of the worst dry spell for 60 years, he rushed to call the local meteorological administration.
But the news he received was not good. And at a press conference later that day, Liu, also vice-commander of the drought-relief team covering China’s biggest farming region, admitted: “The drought will go on as there isn’t going to be enough rain in the near future.”
On February 7, Henan province had its first rainfall for 110 days ? but it was just 6 mm. During February and March, a crucial time that can dictate the success of a June harvest, crops needed 30 mm, said Zhu Mengzhou, deputy director of the province’s agricultural bureau.
“If the drought continues, we may lose at least 25 percent of the production this year,” he added.
And with temperatures rising, the arrival of pests may deteriorate the situation.
“It was reported there would be rainfall around February 17 but we are not optimistic it can relieve the huge drought,” Yu Hequn, vice-deputy director of Henan’s irrigation bureau, told China Daily on Saturday.
The province has spared no expense in attempting to save its 78.9 million mu (5.26 million hectares) in winter wheat, having spent 1.169 billion yuan ($170 million) of its relief fund to put 1.82 million people on average every day and a total of 620,000 vehicles into action.
Wheat fields in central plain areas, especially those near water resources such as reservoirs, aqueducts, rivers and wells, have been irrigated effectively. But the 28 million mu in the western uplands has been difficult to reach.
“We endeavor to dig wells, divert water from rivers and organize people to transport water to relieve the drought,” said Yu. But of the 9 million-plus mu that cannot be helped, he explained: “The cost is too much. The irrigation facilities, most built in the 1960s, are out of order. Farmers have nothing to do but rely on rain.”
The drought also revealed cracks in the current farming system, he said.
“It is too expensive to adopt the advanced irrigation technology for individual households,” Yu told China Daily.
He said he hoped the country’s new land transfer policy will speed up the process of large-scale planting and mass production, which would enable more effective farming management and save a lot of costs.

As the US wakes up to China’s rising status (地位) as an economic and strategic competitor, US parents are urging their children to learn Chinese, reports Julian Borger.
The US is being swept by a rush to learn Mandarin (普通話(huà)) -- from wealthy New York mothers hiring Chinese nannies (保姆) for their small children to a defence department education project in Oregon.
The forces driving Mandarin’s momentum (勢(shì)頭) are parental ambition for children facing a future in which China is almost certain to be a major player, and the government is worried about that America may get left behind in that new world.
The bottleneck is the supply of teachers. Mandarin instructors are difficult to import and difficult to train. There are visa problems in bringing over teachers from China but the biggest barrier is cultural. Teaching in Asia is generally done by rote and the change to western, interactive styles of instruction can be a large leap（跳越）.
On the other hand, it requires enormous firmness for westerners to learn a language like Chinese, with its thousands of written characters. According to the Asia Society in New York, all of America’s teacher-training institutions turn out only a couple of dozen homegrown Mandarin teachers.
One way to ease the shortage is to find native Mandarin speakers and use fast-track methods to train them. However, the majority of Chinese-Americans grew up speaking Cantonese, the dialect（方言）spoken in Hong Kong, where their parents came from. Many are themselves signing on as Mandarin students at the private language schools springing up on the west coast.
