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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Ａ
The invention of the electric telegraph gave birth to the communications industry. Although Samuel B. Morse succeeded in making the invention useful in 1837, it was not until 1843 that the first important telegraph line was constructed. By 1860 more than 50,000 miles of lines connected people east of the Rockies. The following year, San Francisco was added to the network.
The national telegraph network strengthened the ties between East and West and contributed to the rapid expansion of the railroads by providing an efficient means to monitor schedules and routes. Furthermore, the extension of the telegraph, combined with the invention of the steam-driven rotary printing press by Richard
M. Hoe in 1846, revolutionized the world of journalism. Where the business of news gathering had been dependent upon the mail and on hand-operated presses, the telegraph expanded the amount of information a newspaper could supply and allowed for more timely reporting. The creating of the Associated Press as a central wire service in 1846 marked the arrival of a new era (纪元) in journalism.
56. The main topic of the passage is .
A. the history of journalism B. the origin of the national telegraph
C. how the telegraph network contributed to the expansion of railroads
D. the contributions and development of the telegraph network
57. The word "gathering" in line 11 refers to .
A. people B. information C. objects D. substances

A. compare the invention of the telegraph with the invention of the steam-driven rotary press
B. propose new ways to develop the communications industry
C. show how the electric telegraph affected the communications industry
D. criticize Samuel B. Morse
59. This passage would most likely be found in a .
A. U.S. history book B. book on trains C. science textbook D. computer magazine
60. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. Samuel Morse did not make a significant contribution to the communications industry
B. Morse's invention did not immediately achieve its full potential (潜力)
C. the extension of the telegraph was more important than its invention
D. journalists have the Associated Press to thank for the birth of the communications industry
B
It crawls up nostrils（鼻孔）. It nests in hair. It settles itself between teeth and burrows
under contract lenses（眼睛的晶状体）. And let’s not forget the
gritty mess that’s sure to appear if someone leaves a window open.
Last weekend, 2002’s draught（一阵）of thick grit from the Mongolian desert plain, which arrived earlier
than usual, whipped into urban northern China by March’s powerful wind. People
just sighed. They’ve got used over the decades to well-traveled dust arriving
from the skies to coat their furniture and lungs.
“Every spring it’s like this,
every year since I got to Beijing eight years ago. The whole city is covered
with it,” said Xiao Gai, a Beijing maid who wiped a thick layer of dust from a
TV in a downtown apartment. Beijing is dry to begin with, and it’s getting
drier. The
government estimates (估计) that deserts blow nearly 1 million tons of
sand into the city each year. It sits in a dust bowl directly in the wind path
of the Gobi Desert to the northwest. And decades of deforestation（砍伐森林）to make more farmland have brought down the trees that blocked
incoming sand, making drought (旱灾) worse and pushing the desert ever closer. In Beijing itself, the
building boom（繁荣）of recent years has dotted the
city with hundreds of construction sites where earth has been dug up and sits
in piles just waiting to be blown away.
61. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Spring Brings
Sand

Deforestation and Drought

drier as a result of construction sites.
63. What will be most probably discussed in the paragraph following this
passage?
A. Damage that sandstorms do
to other areas
B. Air pollution that
sandstorms have caused
C. Measures that the government takes to deal with sandstorms
D. Effect that sandstorms
have on Beijingers
C
Amy Tan, the American-born daughter of Chinese immigrants (移民), received the Commonwealth Club Gold Award in 1989 for her first work of novel, the best-selling Joy Luck Club. The sixteen interrelated stories that make up the work switch between the tales of four Chinese immigrant mothers and their Americanized daughters, in an exploration (探索) of the generational and cultural tensions (紧张状态) experienced by many first-generation daughters of immigrants.
Tan's parents, like many immigrants, had high expectations for their children and often set confusing (混乱的) standards, expecting Amy and her two brothers to think like Chinese but to speak perfect English, excellent at school, and take advantage of every chance that might lead to success. Tan, however, rebelled against her parents' expectations, which included such respected professions (专业) as neurosurgery (神经外科), and devoted herself to being thoroughly American and dreaming of being a novelist.
Tan got a bachelor's degree in English and linguistics (语言学) and a master's degree in linguistics and finally established herself as a highly successful business writer. Tan, however, was not satisfied in spite of her material success. Turning to her life-long dream, she wrote her first short story, "Endgame," and then a second, "Waiting between the Trees." In 1987 Tan visited her half-sisters in China with her mother, a trip that proved to be a turning point in her life and career. Tan felt a sense of completeness, a link with the country and its culture that she had never expected. Returning from China, Tan was surprised to learn that on the strength of her short stories she had received an advance from a publisher. Tan closed her business and wrote the remaining stories for the Joy Luck Club. It was a resounding success, well received by the critics (批评家) and appearing on the New York Times bestseller list. It has been translated into 17 languages, including Chinese, and was made into a movie in 1993.
64. What is the author's main purpose in this passage?
A. To analyze (分析) Amy Tan's literary works
B. To support Amy Tan's decision to become a novel writer
C. To present biographical (生平的) information about Amy Tan
D. To criticize Amy Tan's rebellion against her parents
65. In the 2nd sentence of Paragraph 1, the words "the work" refer to .
A. stories B. writing C. Commonwealth Club Gold Award D. Joy Luck Club
66. Before becoming a novel writer, Amy Tan was a successful .
A. business writer B. publisher C. English teacher D. neurosurgeon
67. The expectations of Tan's parents included all of the following EXCEPT .
A. being excellent at school B. speaking perfect English
C. questioning tradition D. choosing an important profession
68. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. Tan's parents understood her difficult situation but wanted the best for her
B. It took Tan a while to gather the courage to seek her dreams
C. Tan started writing novel in order to make more money
D. Tan had always wanted to return to China

Waking Up
by Eleanor Farjeon
|
And then I woke, And all the dream went out like kettle-steam, Or chimney-smoke. My dream was all about - how funny, though! I've only just Dreamed it, and now it has begun to blow Away like dust. | In it I went – no! in my dream I had – No, that's not it! I can't remember, oh, it is too bad, My dream a bit. But I saw something beautiful, I'm sure – Then someone spoke, And then I didn't see it any more, Because I woke. |
Oh! I have just had such a lovely dream!
What do we do every night, whether we know it or not? We dream. Researchers have found that we dream about the same amount on nights that we remember our dreams as on the nights that we don't. The amount of time we sleep is broken into cycles and states. There are two states of sleep:
1. The first state is called NREM, or non-rapid eye movement. It consists of four stages:
Stage 1 is when we feel relaxed and sleepy.
Stage 2 is when we move into a light sleep. We don't dream in these two stages.
Stages 3 and 4 are called slow-wave sleep. In these stages, we are in a deep sleep and the dreams we have are ones we don't usually remember.
2. The second state is called REM, or rapid eye movement. This is when we dream the most
and have the dreams we remember the most. For many people, their REM dreams are the
most meaningful and visually exciting.
Approximately three-fourths of our total sleep time is spent in the NREM state and one-fourth in the REM state. We sleep by cycling through these states. Throughout the night, we experience four to six NREM/REM cycles.
72. The poet compares her dream to kettle-steam because .
A. kettle-steam is hot and noisy, like her dream
B. people tend to drink tea in the evening to help them dream
C. kettle-steam is hard to hold on to, like her dream
D. the whistle from the kettle woke her from her dream.
73. Many people remember nothing about their dreams when they awake. The person in the
poem .
A. remembered she had a dream, but did not remember the specifics
B. thought she should have had a dream, but could not remember what she dreamed
C. had a dream about kettles steaming, chimneys smoking, and dust blowing
D. was upset because someone woke her before she had a chance to dream
74. Which of the following statements is not true?
A. Dreams experienced during stages 3 and 4 are the most memorable.
B. Most of our sleep time is spent in the non-rapid eye movement state.
C. REM dreams tend to be more exciting than NREM dreams.
D. We spend more time in NREM sleep than in REM sleep.
75. The dream experienced in the poem most likely occurred during .
A. stage 2 of NREM B. stage 3 of NREM
C. stage 4 of NREM D. the REM state.

M: Shall we watch TV for a while?
W: I don't like American TV. People keep hitting each other and shooting each other.
M: Yes, some of the shows are quite violent. But maybe life is like that.
W: I don't believe it. The people here I've met are very kind.
M: So are the people I know. But look at the newspapers. There's a lot of violence in every paper.
W: Maybe nice people are not interesting enough.
M: You're probably right. People won't buy newspapers unless there's exciting news in them.
W:
Is that why there's so much violence on TV? Won't people watch a show unless
violent things
happen?
M:
I don't know. A lot of people like shows about the Old West, with cowboys and
Indians
fighting each other. I don't like them myself.
W: Neither do I.
M: They don't actually show how people really lived in the Old West.
W: Of course not.

A woman wearing old style clothes stood at the window of a shop. She thought for a moment, for she did not know whether she should come in and finally she went in. She asked to see a good dress in the window. The assistant was cleaning his front desk. He raised his head and took a quick look at the woman. He didn't like the way she was dressed at all. Then he spoke slowly, "This dress has been sold. "
Hearing that, the woman walked out of the shop angrily. She decided to punish the assistant the next day.
She came to the shop again the next day. This time she was dressed in a magnificent coat with a handbag. She found the rude assistant and asked for the same dress. The assistant didn't recognize her. He followed her instructions happily. After he got the dress with great difficulty, the woman said she didn't like it. Then she asked for another dress, pretended to look at it for a while and said she disliked it again. In this way, she enjoyed making him bring her almost everything in the window. Finally she bought the dress that she had first asked for and left the shop with satisfaction, leaving the tired assistant and a pile of dresses.

Dear editor:
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve had about whether it is necessary for middle school students to carry mobile phones to school.
The majority of the students think that it is more convenient for them to keep in touch with their parents and classmates if they have a mobile phone. And what’s more, it’s a fashion.
However, most teachers think that middle school students are not old enough to control themselves. It is a waste of time for students to play games and send messages to each other by mobile phone. And it’s easy to cause the students to vie with each other. If necessary they can make phone calls by using public phones on the campus.
In my opinion. following the fashion is understandable. But as middle school students, we should put all our heart into our studies.
Yours truly
