TraveIAcross Africa

For six hours we shot through the barren (荒芜的) landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending,Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook l'd bought in.a market in Mozambique.

Southern Africa was full of stories. And visions. We were almost drunk on sensations.The roaring of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in
Botswana.

And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room,.a kilometre from clean water.

As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty-we hadn't seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye,
something moving close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn't know how long they had been there next to us.

I shouted to Dan: "Look!  but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet. They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape.

When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.

"Wild horses?" he said. "Why didn't you wake me up, Sophia?"
 
"I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds. " .

"Are you sure you didn't dream it?"

"You were the one who was sleeping!"

"Typical," he said. "The best photos are the ones we never take.

We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.

16. Daniel and Sophia drove slowly through the busy desert.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

答案B

解析 从文章的第一句 For six hours we shot through the barren landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. 便可以知道这句话是错的，shot 是动词 shoot 的过去时形式，shoot through 用以表示开车，那显然车是开得很快的；而且，他们开过的沙漠是一片荒漠( barren landscape) ，并非是一个busy desert。

17. Sophia wrote about her experiences in notebooks.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

答案 A

解析 第一段里就说她已经写了整整三个笔记本，并且开始写第四本了。

18. Daniel took photos of the Nile River.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

答案 C

解析 文中讲到 Daniel 用相机记录他在非洲的所见所闻，但并没有提到他拍摄过尼罗河 (the Nile River) 。

19. Daniel and Sophia saw a lot of wonderful things.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

答案 A

解析 从文章的第二、第三段可以看到他们两人在非洲看到了许多。

20. While driving Daniel and Sophia saw wild horses.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

答案 B

解析 实际上 Sophia 在开车，Daniel 则在睡觉，所以并非两人都看到了野马。

21. The horses didn't come near the car.

A； Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

答案B

解析 文中说到And as I drove，something caught my eye. something moving close enough to touch them，to smell their hot breath. 很显然，野马一度离他们的车很近，只是后来才渐渐远离了。

22. Sophia woke Daniel up so that he could take photos of the horses.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

答案 B

解析 Daniel 是在 Sophia 看到野马一小时后自己醒来的—— When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened. 并不是让Sophia 唤醒的。

Are You a Successful Leader?

1Almost nothing we do in this world is done in isolation. At work or at play, you'II find yourself in groups, working with other people: your team at work, a meeting with colleagues, your family, a holiday with friends, a group of students working together, a day out walking in the mountains, a group of neighbours wanting to make changes. It is now recognised that being able to work successfully with other- people is one of the major keys to success, partly because we need to do it so often.

2In almost every situation where you're in a group, you will need a skilled leader. All groups need leaders and all successful groups have good leaders: Groups without leaders or with weak leaders almost always break down. Members of a leaderless group often begin to feel dissatistled and frustrated. -llme is wasted and the tasks are not achieved.There are often arguments and tensions between people as there is nobody to keep the goals clear. Some personalities dominate and others disappear. Often group members begin not to come to meetings in order to avoid more disharmony.

3 Some people are natural leaders. The celebrity chef, Antonio Carluccio says, "True leaders are born and you can spot them'in kitchens." They're people who combine
toughness, fairness and humour. Although a lot of people agree that there are some natural-born leaders, most people now recognise that leadership can also be taught. Our professional and experienced staff can train almost anyone how to be a successfulleader Good leaders don't make people do things in a bossy, controlling way. You can learn how
to involve everyone, encouraging the whole group to work towards a common goal.

4 Our training courses use activities and techniques to develop a range of qualities which are necessary to be a good leader. Self-confidence is vital for you to overcome your own fears about being a leader. Successful leaders also need to be calm and intelligent. They need to be able to work out good strategies and make sound judgments under pressure. Lastly, and probably most importantly, good leaders need to be sensitive, sociable and be able to get on with a wide range of people. Good leadersV;ip is essentially the ability to influence others and good leaders allow all members of the group to contribute.

23. Paragraph 1

24. Paragraph 2

25. Paragraph 3

26. Paragraph 4

A. Most of good leaders are natural-born

B. It's important to have a good leader

C. People are in groups

D. Thesr techniques are used to train leaders

E. Training can make good leaders

F. A good leader needs a variety of qualities.

27. Orie of the major keys to success is___.

28. Groups often break down because of ___.

29. Good leaders always avoid ___.

30. Self-confidence is the key to ___.

A. the ability to work with others

B. encouraging group members

C. lackofgoodleaders

D. overcoming fears about being a leader

E. bossing people around

F. working out good strategies

23 E 第一段的第一句话就讲世上几乎没有什么事我们是单枪匹马去完成的。接着作者举了好几个人们在群体中生活和工作的例子。所以 People are in groups. 正是本段的中心。

24 F 本段的第一句 In almost every situation where you're in a group，you will need a skilled leader. 就是它的主题句。本段要讲的就是任何一个群体都需要有一个领导者。

25 A 本段虽然以 Some people are natural leaders. (有些人生来就是当头的。)开始，但作者并不真正认同这一观点，这从 Although a 1ot of people agree that there are some natural- born leaders，most people now recognise that leadership can also be taught.这句话可以看到。所以 Training can make good 1eaders. 概括了本段的大意。

26 D 本段的第一句是它的主题句: Our training courses use activities and techniques to develop a range of qualities which are necessary to be a good leader. a range of qualities 就是a variety of qualities，即各种素质。

27 C 答案可见第一段的最后一句: ...being able to work successfully with other people is one of the major keys to success.

28 E Groups often break down because of lack of good leaders. 这句话是第二段中下面这句话的另一种说法: Groups without leaders or with weak leaders almost always break down.

29 A 请见第二段里的这句话: Good leaders don't make people do things in a bossy ，controlling way.

30 B 请见第四段里这句话: Self-confidence is vital for you to overcome your own fears about being a leader. be vital for someone to do something 即对某人做某事是十分关键的，和 be the key to doing something 是同一个意思。

第4部分：阅读理解（第31~ 45题，每题3分，共45分）

下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定1个最佳选项。

第一篇Three Ways to Become More Creative

Most people believe they don't have has imagination. They are wrong. Everyone has imagination, but most of us，once we became adults, forget how to access it. Creativity isn't always connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve，a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.

This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First，think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image，word，idea or object，for example，a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles：light，fire，matches, wax，night，silence，etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present；you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.

Imagine that normal limitations don't exist. You have as much time/space/money，etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new possibilities. If，for example，your goal is to learn to ski（滑雪），you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December，or every Monday in January.

Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators (谈判者) use this technique in business，and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. They ask questions：what does this character want? Why can't she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goal involves other people，put yourself "in their shoes". The best fishermen think like fish!

31. According to the passage, when we become adults，___________.

A. most of us are no longer creative

B. we are not as imaginative as children

C. we can still learn to be more creative

D. we are unwilling to be creative

32. According to the first technique，if you need to solve a problem，___________.

A. you should link it with candles

B. you could find an image and try to link it with the problem.

C. you have to think of buying a present for a friend

D. you should link it with as many words as possible

33. The second technique suggests that you just imagine ___________.

A. you have every resource to achieve your goal

B. setting a goal is as simple as skiing

C. new possibilities will soon appear

D. December and January are the best months for skiing

34. The phrase "put yourself 'in their shoes'" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to___________.

A. dress yourself like them

B. think as they would

C. do as they ask you to

D. put on their shoes

35. We learn from the third technique that a good salesman should ask himself ___________?

A. what do I usually do

B. what did my boss tell me to do

C. what are my customers' needs

D. how should I sell my products

本题分数（15）

第4 部分：阅读理解

31 C 本题的答题依据是文章开头的这句话: Everyone has imagination ，but most of us，once we become adults，forget how to access it.人人都有想象力，只是成年后，我们就忘了如何取得想象力 ( access it) 。文章的目的就是教给成年人几种获得想象力的技巧，所以说成年人还是可以学会怎么样更加富有创意的。

32 B 从第二段的这两句话：First，think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image，word，idea or object，for example，a candle. 可以找到答案。蜡烛只是一个例子。

33 A 第三段的第一句话: Imagine that normal limitations don’t exist. You have as much time/ space/money, etc. as you want.是本题的答题依据。

34 B put yourself in their shoes 是英语的一个成语，相当于汉语的"设身处地”.

35 C 第三种技巧就是:Look at the situation from a different point of view. 作者以谈判者和小说家为例，说明推销员如要应用这一技巧就应该把自己置于顾客的位置上，问一问他们的需要是什么。

第二篇

Excessive Demands on Young People

Being able to multitask is-hailed by most people as a welcome skill, but not according to a recent study which claims that young people between the ages of eight and eighteen of the so-called Generation M are spending a considerable amount of their time in fruitless efforts as they multitask. It argues that, in fact, these young people are frittering（浪费） away as much as half of their time as they would if they performed the very same tasks one after the other.

Some young people are using an ever larger number of electronic devices as they study. At the same time they are working, young adults are also surfing on the Internet, or sending out emails to their friends, and/or answering the telephone and listening to music on their iPods or on another computer. As some new device comes along, it is also added to the list rather than replacing one of the existing devices. Other research has indicated that this multitasking is even affecting the way families themselves function as young people are too wrapped up in(沅湎于) their own isolated worlds to interact with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house nor can they eat at the family table.

All this electronic wizardry(魔力) is supposedly also seriously affecting young people's performance at universit3t and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the impact of modern gadgets (小装置) on their.performance of tasks, the great majority of young people gave a favourable response.

The response from the academic and business worlds was not quite as positive. The former feel that multitasking with electronic gadgets by children affects later development of study skills, resulting in a decline in the quality of writing, for example, because of the lack of concentration on task completion. They feel that many undergraduates now urgently need remedial (补救的) help with study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the workforce need to be taught all over again, as they have become deskilled.

While all this may be true, it must be borne in mind that more and more is expected of young people nowadays; in fact, too much. Praise rather than criticism is due in respect of the way today's youth are able to cope despite what the older generation throw at them.

36. What is probably true about the multitasking Generation M?

A. They feelthey are more effIcient than others.

B. They waste more time than they should spend.

C. They put more energy on important tasks.

D. They need to improve their analytical skills.

37. With the introduction of new gadgets, what happens to the Generation M's present e-devices?

They give way to the latest..

They are quickly put aside.

They are sold to their friends.

They become part of their collection.

38.Multitasking rriakes the Generation M

A. feellonely add pitiful.

B. selfish and aggressive.

C. distant to their family.

D. silent and sad."

39.The academics feel that many undergraduates badly need to

A. adjust their social attitudes.

B. seekpsychologicalassistance.

C. improve their study skills.

D.  take more business,courses.

40.  What attitude should the older generation adopt towards the multitasking youth?

A. Critical.

B. Thankful.

C. Negative.

D. Supportive.

36 A 文章的第一段把这一点讲得十分明确: ...the so-called Generation M are spending a considerable amount of their time in fruitless efforts as they multitask. It argues that， in fact，these young people are frittering away as much as half of their time as they would if they performed the very same tasks one after the other.

37 A 第二段的最后一句话: As some new device comes along, it is also added to the list rather than replacing one of the existing devices. 回答了这个问题。只要有新的玩意儿出现，它就会被增加到现有的玩意儿上去，而不是替代原有的东西。注意四个选项里的they 指的是 e-devices 而不是属于Generation M 这一代的年轻人。

38 D 根据文章的内容应选 D。 distant to their family 意为 "和自己的家人疏远"。具体可见第三段。

39 D 答题的依据是第五段里的这句话: They feel that many undergraduates now urgently need remedia1 help with study skills. 可见在大学教师看来许多本科生急需补上学习技能这一课。

40 A 这道题的答题依据是文章的最后一段，作者认为尽管上面所说的都没错，但是 (注意 while 这个连接词的转折意义)我们要记住现今对年轻人的期望越来越高。不管老一辈怎么说他们(注意 despite这个介词表示的让步意义)，对他们 (年轻人) 还是应该给予表扬而不是批评(Praise rather than criticism is due) 。To be due 应该得到。

第三篇 Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking?

Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication-having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.

The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professional worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.

On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning (扫描) equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.

What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.

As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often

41. People buy cell phones for the following reasons EXCEPT that

A they're popular

B they're useful

C they're convenient

D they're cheap

42. The world "detected" in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by

A cured

B removed

C discovered

D caused

43. The salesman retired young because

A he couldn't remember simple tasks

B he disliked using mobile phones

C he was tired of talking on his mobile phone

D his employer's doctor persuaded him to

44. On the safety issue of mobile phones, the manufacturing companies

A hold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry about

B deny the existence of mobile phone radiation

C develop new technology to reduce mobile phone radiation

D try to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to health

45. The writer's purpose of writing this article is to advise people

A to buy mobile phones

B to use mobile phones less often

C to update regular phones

D to stop using mobile phones

本题分数（15）

41 D 第一段里讲到了人们拥有手机的几种理由，其中不包括手机便宜 (cheap ) 这一条。

42 C detect 意为"觉察、发现"，故可用 discover 来代替。

43 A 第三段里把这名推销员年纪轻轻就要退休的原因讲得十分明白: ...a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn't remember even simple tasks.

44 A 请见第四段里的这句话:Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation，but they say the amount is too small to worry about.它们并不否认手机有辐射，只是辐射量很小无需担心。

45 B 作者建议大家少用手机，这一点在最后一段里可以清楚地看到。

下面的短文有5处空白，短文后有6个句子，其中5个取自短文，请根据短文内容将其分别放回原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。

Flying into History

When you turn on the television or read a magazine, celebrities (名人) are everywhere. Although fame and the media play such major roles in our lives today, it has not always been that way.____一 (46) Many historians agree that Charles Lindbergh was one of the first major celebrities, or superstars.

Lindbergh was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1902, but he grew up in Little Falls, Minnesota. As a child, he was very interested in'how things worked, so when he- reached college, he pursued a degree in engineering. At the age of 20, however, the allure(诱惑） of flying captured Lindbergh's imagination.(47) Soon after, Lindbergh bought his own plane and traveled across the nation performing aerial stunts(空中特技).

In 1924, Lindbergh became more serious about flying. He joined the United States military and graduated first in his pilot class.(48)

During the sarTie time, a wealthy hotel owner named Raymond Orteig was offering a generous award to the first pilot who could fly nonstop from New York City to Paris, France. The Orteig Prize was worth $25,OOO-a large amount even by today's standards.

Lindbergh knew he had the skills to compfete the flight, but not just any plane was capable of flying that far for that long.(49)

On May 20, 1927, Charles Lindbergh took off from Roosevelt Field in New York City and arrived the next day at an airstrip(简易机场) outside Paris. Named in honor of the sponsor, The Spirit of St. Louis carried Lindbergh across the Atlantic Ocean and into the record books. He became a national hero and a huge celebrity.

When he returned to the United States, Lindbergh rode in a ticker-tape(热烈的) parade held to celebrate his accomplishment. was even named for Charles Lindbergh-the kept at the Smithsonian Institute's National Air (50) A very popular dance Lindy Hop. Today, The Spirit of St. Louis is and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.

A.  He also received a Medal of Honor, the highest United Statest military decoration.

B.  Lindbergh used this additional training to get a job as an airmail pilot, flying out of St Louis, Missouri.

C.  His childhood was not full of fond memories.

D.  Working with an aviation company from San Diego, California, and with financial help from the city of St. Louis, Lindbergh got a customized (定制的) airplane that could make the journey.

E.  Eighty years'ago; radio and movies were just beginning to have that kind of effect on Americans．

F.  He quit school and moved to Nebraska where he-learned to'be a pilot.

46 A 第一段是文章的引言，说的是当今有了电视和杂志这样的媒体，名人到处可见，但是情况并非一向如此，80 年前收音机和电影才刚开始对美国人产生这样的效应，也就是才能向美国的公众介绍宣传Lindberg，使他成为名人。

47 D 这个空的前一句说的是 Lindberg 在大学读工程学位，但是飞行吸引了他的想象;其后的一句则讲他自己买了飞机在各地表演空中特技，所以在中间自然应该填入他辍学并移居到 Nebraska 去学习飞行这句话。

48 F 前一句说到Lindberg 参军，在飞行员班里第一个毕业，这样正好接上 Lindbergh used this additional training to get a job as an airmail pilot，flying out of St. Louis，Missouri. 这句话。

49 B 前面一句讲了Lindberg 觉得要完成这次飞行自己的技术没有问题，但并非任何一架飞机都能飞这么远。所以下面就接上他找到了 San Diego 的一家飞行器公司定做了一架飞机。

50 C 六个选项中只有这个选项是和他回到美国后得到的荣誉有关的。

第6部分：完形填空（第51—65题，每题1分，共15分）

下面的短文有15处空白，请根据短文内容为每处空白确定1个最佳选项。

Sport or Spectacle?

Muhammad Ali is probably the most famous sports figure on earth: he is recognized on ever3r. continent and by all generations. The____ (51) of his illness as Parkinson's disease after his retirement fuelled the debate about the dangers of boxing and criticism (52) the sport. That, plus his outspoken opposition (53) women's boxing, made people wonder how he would react when one of his daughters decided to  _ (54). up the sport.
