Ⅲ. Cloze Test：
Every summer, a great many students travel to other countries looking for work and adventure. Most of the __36____ are in seasonal work, mainly connected with tourism and 37 . The pay is usually poor, but most people work abroad for the 38 _ of travel. You can pick grapes in France, entertain(逗乐) kids on American summer camps, and, of course, there are 39 jobs in hotels and restaurants.
But it is not easy now to find work," 40 you speak the language of the country well, there will be very few openings," says Anthea Ellis, an adviser on 41 for students. "If you work with a family in Italy, you'll have to speak Italian. When you wash dishes in a restaurant in Paris, the owner will expect you to speak 42 . British students only have a language 43 for jobs in the USA and Australia."
44 enjoys the experience. Sarah James was employed to help forty American children in
Europe. The two teachers with the children had never been 45 . One child lost his passport; another became seriously ill and was 46 home; the whole group was thrown out of one hotel because of' the 47 they made, and Sarah herself was robbed on her only 48 evening of the entire trip. “I did visit a lot of new places,” she says, "but it wasn't worth it. The pay was 49 and it really was a 24 - hour - a - day job. The kids never slept !"
"The trouble is, students expect to have 50 time of it," Anthea Ellis points out. “ 51 , they see it as a holiday. In practice, _ 52 , you have to work hard. At the same time, all vacation work is casual(临时) work. You'll have a job when the hotel, the restaurant or the campsite is busy. 53 , you'll work if it's convenient for the company that employs you. But you have _ 54_ employment rights. As soon as the holiday season __55___, they'll get rid of you.”

Ⅳ. Reading Comprehension:
A
People are making more and more demands on the world’s natural resources. If babies born in 1991 live for eighty years, the human population of the world may be anything from twice to three times the present total by 2070. In other words, they will have to share what it left of the earth’s resources with 15 billion other people. But hopefully there will be a significant decrease in the growth of population. What if this does not happen? The answer is that by the time before the babies born in 1991 reach the age of 40 they could be sharing resources with as many as 10 billion other people.
Limiting the population of water and the atmosphere, controlling the output of the chemicals that may be causing the global warming and climate change, and eating less meat may go home way to help, but can anyone seriously imagine that these are going to solve the problems of the “baby class” of 1991?
There is no getting away from the fact that people are responsible for the present state of the world, and only people can solve the problems. The decisions have to be taken by people as members of national and local governments, as leaders and decision-makers in industry; as scientists and technologists; as professional engineers and designers; as religious leaders and individual citizens.
56. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. Making More Demands on the Natural Resources
B. Limiting the Pollution of the Air and Water
C. Reducing the World Population
D. Saving the Babies of 1991
57. What is meant by “the problems of the ‘baby class’of 1991?
A. A large number of babies will be born after 1991.
B. Babies born in 1991 won’t live a long life.
C. The children of 1991 are not given good education.
D. The problems caused by babies born in 1991.
58. This short passage is probably taken from ______.
A. a news report B. a science fiction
C. an article by a medical worker D. a government report
59. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the last paragraph as people responsible for the present state of the world?
A. Officials B. Industrialists C. Businessmen D. Scientists

As a young adult, Noah Webster was a teacher. At this time, the colonies were fighting for independence from Britain. Yet the books that American children used in school all came from Britain. The books were all about British people and British places. Webster wanted books that would mean more to American children. So he wrote three books that used American examples—a grammar book, a spelling book, and a reader. These books were very popular, and millions of them were sold.
Webster was interested in changing the spellings of words. He wanted words to be spelled the way they were pronounced. For example, he thought the word “head” should be spelled “hed”, and the word “laugh” should be spelled “laf ”. People liked Webster’s suggestions.
However, few words were actually changed. One group of words that were changed were words in which an unpronounced “u” followed an “o”. That is why Americans write “color” and “labor”, and the British write “colour” and “labour”
With the money he made from his books, Webster was able to write. It was the first American English dictionary, published in 1828. Webster’s dictionary had over 70,000 words and gave the meaning and origin of each. To this day, Webster’s work is the example that most dictionaries of American English follow.

A．Noah Webster had to borrow books from Britain when he was a student.

A．Webster spoke English in a different way
B．American people didn’t write English as exactly as English people did
C．Webster was good at correcting mistakes in textbooks
D．American people didn’t like writing English

A new study says one part of the human brain may become smaller as a result of a condition known as jet lag . Jet lag results from flying long distances in an airplane . People with jet lag may feel extremely tired for several days . They may also have problems thinking clearly and remembering .
Recently a researcher at the University of Bristol in Britain reported the findings of his jet lag study , which involved twenty young women who worked for international airlines . They had served passengers on airplanes for five years . These flight attendants flew across many countries and at least seven time zones . In the study , the flight attendants had different amounts of time to recover from jet lag . Half the women spent five days or fewer in their home areas between long flights . The other half spent more than fourteen days in their home areas .
The researcher took some saliva from the women’s mouths to measure levels of a hormone (荷尔蒙) that increases during stress (紧张) . He tested them to see if they could remember where black spots appeared on a computer screen . And he took pictures of their brains to measure the size of the brain’s temporal lobes (脑叶).
It was found that the women who had less rest time between flights had smaller right temporal lobes . This area of the brain deals with recognizing and remembering what is seen . The same group performed worse and had slower reaction times on the visual memory test . And their saliva samples showed higher levels of stress hormones .
The researcher believes the brain needs at least ten days to recover after a long trip . He says airline workers told him their ability to remember go worse after working on planes for about four years . Other studies have shown that increased feelings of stress can cause a loss of cells in the part of the brain that controls memory .
Scientists say more tests are needed to study the effects of jet lag on the brain . They want to find out if too much jet lag could permanently (永久性地) affect memory .
68．According to the text , jet lag .
A．can cause difficulties in speaking
B．can make people feel tired for a few weeks
C．can be only found in flight attendants
D．can be caused by flying over several time zones
69．It can be inferred from the text that .
A．the conclusion is refused by many scientists
B．scientists fear that this research is not done properly
C．every scientific conclusion needs the support from many tests
D．the women who were examined in the research were not healthy
70．From the result of the research we can see that .
A．the women who have a longer rest between long flights show better memory
B．the women who fly in a short time have smaller right temporal lobes
C．the women who have longer flights fail the memory test
D．the women who rest more than 14 days produce less hormones
71．What is the subject discussed in the text ?
A．The cause of jet lag .
B．A story of a group of flight attendants .
C．The importance of having enough rest after flights .
D．A research about the effects of jet lag on the brain .

A lot of things are wasted in our daily life. Some people buy more than they can eat and throw away the leftovers, which can be kept for another meal. Some don’t bother to turn taps off after using running water. Lights are sometimes left on even in the daytime and people ignore this as if they didn’t see it at all.
I hope everyone realizes that it’s no easy job for our parents to earn (or: make ) enough money to support us and that ours is not a very rich country and many people are still suffering poverty (or : are still very poor ) . We should not waste! Save on things we use for the sake of our parents and our country.
