II: 完型填空　　　　 A feeling of excitement overcame me as I looked around the stadium.

At 5: 30 pm, two hours before game time, I walked into the locker room. My 36 of school, music and what I planned to do on Saturday night were 37 with the simple aim to beat he football team across the field from us tonight.

Approaching my locker, I noticed my teammates 38　. Some rested on benches, staring up at the ceiling　39 it were a film of the opposing teams play. Some seemed a bit more 40 , using the time to tell jokes. A few stared at the field, 41 what will happen in 120 minutes.

Our coach, Tony Severino, came out of his office at 6 o’clock. He told the team how 42 this game was for the season, between two of the state’s top teams—my school and our opposing team, Liberty High School. His words gave the team impulse (冲动) it needed to 　 43　 .

At 7: 10 pm, warm-ups finished, we went over the game　44 and discussed what we needed to do for the next three hours. The sound of the national anthem (国歌) 45 that we were only minutes from the action. Our coach usually made a final　46 . But tonight was different. On this clear night he 47 looked around the room at all the players and shouted, “Let’s go and get them.” Even 48 the “get” came out of his mouth, we were already 49 our way out of the door.

Outside, a few young fans reached to touch our hands, eager to be a 50 of our school’s winning tradition. When I smiled and 51 my hand, the young faces lit up as if they had just met Superman.

Seconds later, the team ran onto the 52 , moving as a mass of blue, in front of a packed stadium. We enjoyed a noisy 53 from fans and the fight song played by our school band. Breathing in the 54 of one of the biggest game of the year, I felt we were sure to win. I told myself, “This was what it was all about” and 55 that it was for moments like this that I loved high school football.

III:阅读理解　　　　　　　 A　　　　　　　　　　　　 How Good Are US Drivers?

　　The CBS—TV “National Drivers’ Test”，showed that many US drivers have a lot to learn. Here’s why.

　　CBS picked 1,799 sample drivers to take the test in TV studios in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los Angeles. More than two out of five of the drivers failed the test. And the average score was the lowest passing mark—51 points out of a possible 80.

　　Chicago drivers did best with an average of 53 points. Los Angeles drivers came next with 52 points. New York and Philadelphia drivers got 50 points—a failing score. Drivers with 50 points or less were rated “poorly informed” by the judges.　　Here are some of the test results:

1. Are men drivers better informed than women ones? 　Yes. Men averaged 52 points. Women got an average of 49.

2. Are older drivers better informed than younger drivers?　　　No. Drivers under 26 averaged 52 points. Drivers from 27 to 45 averaged 51, Drives over 45 failed with a 48 point average.

3. Does education make a difference?　　 Yes. College graduates averaged 52 points. High school graduates averaged 50. Those without high school diplomas got 48. And people who had taken driver education courses scored an average of 53 points—three more than those who hadn’t.

4. Does driving experience make a difference?　　 Yes. Drivers with three or more years of experience averaged 51 points. Drivers with less experience averaged 49.

　　Here are some surprising facts brought out by the test:

　　1. More than one out of three drivers did not know that a blinking red light means a full stop.

　　2. Three out of ten drivers did not know that an octagonal (eight-sided) sign means stop.

　　3. More than two out of three drivers did not know what to do when being “tailgated (追尾)”.

The answer: slow down, drive to the right, and let the drivers behind pass.

The results of the test were turned over to the National Safety Council. They will help future safety planning.

If you’re not satisfied watching the tube at home, in the pub, or even on the street, cell phone producers are about to offer consumers another choice.

Soon you’ll be holding your favorite show in the palm of your hand. Mobile phones that pick up television signals are about to hit the market and experts predict handset makers will sell about 130,000of the devices by the end of the year.

　　Those figures are expected to shoot up soon after , according to a study released by the research group Informa, and it is predicted about 125 million mobile phone users will be watching television on their handsets by 2010.

　　At a time when people can text , email, and record still and moving imagines on their phones , it appears to be the logical next step. Samsung is the first company to roll out this new technology, but it’s not yet available commercially, and Nokia has said it will introduce its invention of the TV phone in the first part of 2006.

　　“The degree to which these networks will become either competitive or matching will eventually determine the fate of market,” analyst David McQueen said in the report.

　　The devices will be equipped with special chips that will handle the TV signals. Phones also have chips to process mobile phone calls, music and streaming video links.

　　The difference between a TV signal and a streaming video link is that the video feed is on demand while the television transmission is broadcast to all users at the same time. The TV signals are also expected to be better quality.

“The pen is more powerful than the sword（刀）.” There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong. Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.

　　She was born in the U.S.A. in 1811.One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freeing the enslaved race. The civil war was the American Civil War of 1861, in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.

　　This book that shook the world was called Uncle Tom's Cabin. There was time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery.　Not many people read it today, but it is still very interesting. The book has shown us how a warm-hearted writer can arouse (唤起) people's sympathies. The author herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave. The Southern Americans were very angry at the book, which they said did not at all represent true state of affairs, but the Northern Americans were wildly excited over it and were so inspired by it that they were ready to go to war to set the slaves free.

63.According to the passage______.

　A. every English-speaking person has read Uncle Tom's Cabin

　B. Uncle Tom's Cabin was not very interesting

　C. those who don't speak English cannot have read Uncle Tom's Cabin

　D. the book Uncle Tom's Cabin did a great deal in the American Civil War

64.What do you learn about Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe from the passage?

　A. She had been living in the north of America before the American Civil War broke out.

　B. She herself encouraged the Northern Americans to go to war to set the slaves free.

　C. She was better as writing as swinging a sword.　　D. She had once been a slave.

65.Why could Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe's book cause a civil war in America?

　A. She wrote so well that Americans loved her very much.

　B. She disclosed the terrible wrongs that had been done to the slaves in the Southern States.

　C. The Southern Americans hated the book while the Northern Americans like it.

　D. The book had been read by many Americans.

66.What can we learn from the passage?

　A. We needn't use weapons to fight things that are wrong.　B. A writer is more helpful in a war than a soldier.

　C. We must understand the importance of literature and art.

　D. No war can be won without such a book as Uncle Tom's Cabin.

Beijing has started a battle to get rid of “Chinglish” (Chinese English). The “Language mandarins” of Beijing have decided that Chinglish is a disease for China’s modernizing claim and must be obliterated before the city hosts the Olympic Games in 2008.

　　A road sign on the Avenue of Eternal Peace (Chang’an Street), for example, advised: “Take Notice of safe; The Slippery are Very Crafty, ” a warning that the sidewalk was slippery. Another sign in a Beijing park reads: “Little grass is smiling slightly, please walk on sidewalk”.

　　Li Honghai, the city official in charge of the battle, said：“Linguistic perfection is becoming increasingly important with the rise in the number of the foreigners flowing into the city.”

　　However, not everyone shares the disdain (蔑视) of the Beijing government for the mixed language. “The choice of words is uncontrolled. One can either choose the verbs, adverbs, nouns or whatever one likes,” explained one Hongkong linguist on an Internet website.

　　So many examples exist that several Internet sites have been set up to collect Chinglish phrases. Many come from English instructions on packages such as a candle marked with “Keep this candle out of children” and a model boat—curiously named Posh Sailboat— which means “Please don’t place it in dusty play.”

If the battle against Chinglish is successful, Chinese will also turn their attention to the English language versions of newspapers, which play an even more important role in teaching right English.

67.The underlined word “obliterated” refers to 　　　　　.

　　A. removed　　　　　　　　B. exploited 　　　　　　　 C. translated　　　 D. beautified

68.From the passage, we know that 　　　　　 .

　　A.everyone shares the disdain for the mixed language

B.all the people don’t share the disdain for the mixed language

　　 C.Chinglish usually communicates in many cases

　　 D.several Internet sites have been set up to clear the Chinglish phrases

69.We can infer that the English language versions of newspapers 　　　　　 .

　　A.should be in duty to teach normal English　　B.should report the battle above

　 C.should be paid more attention to　　　　　　D.should collect more Chinglish phrases

70.Which of the following signs is Chinglish?

　　　　 A　　　　　　　　　 B　　　　　　　　 C　　　　　　　　 D

Watch your step.

Slippery !

Keep off the grass, please.

please

Tourists do not　enter.

No smoking, please!

With so much change in schools, heads welcome the chance to refresh their skills. And Chris Mitten, head teacher of the 230-pupil Roche Community Primary School, in St Austell, Cornwall, found that a new leadership course not only introduced him to new ideas, it also helped him to delegate more effectively.

Chris has been a head for eight years. His leadership and management was described as very good in Roche’s most recent Foster report, but he believed his school could do more to improve. Like many heads, he felt separated from colleagues in other schools and wanted to share ideas with them. He also wanted to empower staff to take more ownership of school improvement.

He signed up for two programmes organized by the National College for School Leadership ---one leadership programme for serving heads and its other programme for consultant leaders, who will work to help other schools improve. The college hopes to enlist 400 consultant leaders in 2003.

Roche has a strong record of staff professional development, and has been praised for its training programmes for teaching assistants. Since Chris completed his courses, other staff have been encouraged to improve their training. Staff are now more involved in collective decision-making and in taking delegated responsibilities. There is greater openness to new ideas. The whole school has been refreshed as a result of their head teacher refreshing his leadership skills.

And Chris’s work with primaries as a consultant leader means he helps to solve the literacy and numeracy problems they face.

71. Chris took up a new leadership course because 　　　　　　 .

A. he liked new ideas　　　　　　　　 B. he could encourage other staff to improving their training

　　　C. he wanted to solve literacy and numeracy problems　　　D. he hoped that his whole school could be improved

72. He believed his school could do more to improve. He meant to 　　　　　 .

　　　A. be head teacher for a longer time　　B. help other schools to improve

　　　C. share ideas with his staff　　　　　D. take more ownership of school improvement

73. We can infer from the passage that____________.

　　　A. Roche is a successful college　　 B. Roche pays much attention to staff training

　　　C. Chris is the first consultant leader　 D. Chris has fallen behind other heads
