第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Football is , I believe , the most important game in England : one has only to go to one of the important matches to see this . Rich and poor , young and old , one can see them all there , shouting for one side or the other .
To a stranger , one of the most surprising things about football in England is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams . He has pictures of them and knows the results of large numbers of matches . He will tell you who he expects will win such a match, and his opinion is usually as good as that of men three or four times his age .
Most schools in England take football seriously—much more seriously than nearly all European schools , where lessons are all that are important, and games are left for the children themselves . In England, it is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boy’s mind with facts in classroom, it also means the training of character by means of games , especially team games , where they boy or girl has to learn to work with others for the team instead of working for himself alone . The school therefore plans games and matches for its pupils . Football is a good team game ; it is good for both the body and the mind . That is why it is every school’s game in England .
56．In Paragraph 1, “this” means .
A．people often shout at each other in a football match
B．people , rich and poor , young and old , often play football
C．football is the most popular game in England
D．people usually go to the important matches
57．People often one football team or the other by shouting .
A．beat B．win over C．support D．laugh at
58．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage ?
A．English children know more about football than adults
B．Nearly all European schools consider lessons the most important
C．It is surprising that English children have great knowledge of football
D．English schools attach more importance to football than nearly all European schools
59．What does education mean in England ?
A．Filling a boy’s mind with facts .
B．Teaching how to work with others for the team .
C．Training character by means of games .
D．More than the teaching of knowledge .
60．From the passage , we learn that .
A．football is popular mostly among English children
B．schools in England make use of football for the training of body and mind
C．football is more important than lessons in England
D．other European schools consider football unimportant
B
Life on earth depends on water ,and there is no substitute for it . The current assumption is that our basic needs for water—whether for drinking , agriculture , industry or the raising of fish will always have to be met . Given that premise (前提), there are two basic routes we can go : more equal access to water or better engineering solutions .
Looking at the engineering solution first , a lot of my research concentrates on what happens to wetlands when you build dams in river basins , particularly in Africa . The ecology of such areas is almost entirely driven by the seasonal changes of the river—the pulse of the water . And the fact is that if you build a dam, you generally spoil the downstream ecology . In the past , such problems have been hidden by a lack of information . But in the near future , governments will have no excuse for their ignorance .
The engineers’ ability to control water flows has created new kinds of unpredictability too . Dams in Africa have meant fewer fish , less grazing and less floodplain (洪泛区) agriculture— none of which were expected . And their average economic life is assumed to be thirty years . Dams don’t exist forever , but what will replace them is not clear .
The challenge for the future is to find new means of controlling water . Although GM technology (转基因) will allow us to breed better dry-land crops , there is no market for companies to develop crops suitable for the micro-climates of the Sahel and elsewhere in Africa . Who is going to pay for research on locally appropriate crops in the Third World ?
61．What’s the main idea of this passage ?
A．The Challenge for the Future .
B．The engineering solutions to water resource and their limitation .
C．The Basic Means of Controlling Water .
D．The Challenge for Developing Crops .
62．Which of the following statements is NOT true for meeting our basic needs for water ?
A．Water resource should be used more reasonably .
B．More dams should be built in river basins .
C．More wetlands should be protected from destruction .
D．More dry-land crops could be developed in Africa .
63．The author suggests that governments will have no excuse for their careless ignorance in the future because .
A．the ecological destruction will be known to the public by researchers
B．the ecological destruction will no longer be a problem in the future
C．the future is an information age
D．governments will face greater challenge in the future
64．The author mentions all the problems caused by dams EXCEPT .
A．fewer fish B．less grazing land
C．less farming land D．less floodplain agriculture
65．The last sentence probably implies that .
A．no one will invest in developing locally appropriate crops in Africa
B．researchers have no interest in developing dry-land crops
C．research on locally appropriate crops in the third world may be profitable
D．There is less water resource in the Third World
C
Internet use appears to cause a decline in psychological well-being (安康), according to research at Carnegie Mellon University .
Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less frequently , they two-year study showed . And it wasn’t that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet , but that using the Net actually appeared to cause the bad feelings .
Researchers are puzzling over the results , which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television , since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others .
The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in well-being , researchers suggested . Faceless , bodiless “virtual” (虚拟的) communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation , and the relationships formed through it may be shallower . Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world via the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.
“But it’s important to remember this is not about the technology , perse ; it’s about how it is used ,” says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel , one of the study’s sponsors . “It really points to the need for considering social effects in terms of how you design applications and services for technology.” ?
66．The best title for this passage would be .
A．Internet may Cause Depression
B．
C．
D．
67．
A．B．C．D．
68．
A．B．C．D．
69．
A．B．C．D．
70．
A．B．C．D．
71．
A．B．C．D．
72．
A．B．C．D．
73．
A．B．C．D．
74．
A．B．C．D．
75．
A．B．C．D．

I don’t know who wrote those words , but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it . We can take the mysterious , unknown future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine , just like a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone .

第六部分 书面表达（1题；30分）
Nowadays some freshmen are applying to suspend their schooling for one year . They want to make the best use of the time to find jobs in the companies . Through practice they will get to know the society better , which will certainly helps them study with a clear aim and improve their abilities in the university . On the other hand , it is easier for them to find jobs after graduation because of their experience.
In my opinion , what they do really helps them make up for the failing that they lack social experience and they don’t know what society requires . It is in this way that they are quite sure what they will do in university to meet the society’s need .
As a senior student , I think we should take part in some practical activities besides learning in school in order to know the society better and inspire our studies .

People in Poland tend to spend Christmas with their families , and the most important points of Christmas is Christmas Eve supper . And the whole family just sits around the table , and there are twelve traditional dishes on the table , and you are supposed to taste them all ,because if you don’t try any of them you may have bad luck in the following year . Well , before everybody sits down to eat the supper , we just break wafers with each other , wishing each other good luck . When the supper is over , the children go to the other room , where the big Christmas tree stands , and they find some Christmas presents under the Christmas tree . And after the supper , the whole family just sits around the table singing Christmas songs , and waiting for midnight , when they go to church .
