These comments may come from stories about us that have been from 39 childhood. These stories may have no 40

43 . When I was 18, I took the US Army‟s Mechanical Aptitude Test. My scores were in the bottom for the entire nation! Six years later, 44 , I was at California University, working on my doctor‟s degree. One

of my professors, Dr. Bob Tannbaum, asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn‟t do. On the positive side, I the 46 45 down, “research, writing, analysis, and speaking.” On

第三部分 阅读理解（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分） 请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项， 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A My friend took his colleague to see an art exhibition in north London. The show was basically piles of breeze blocks forming armchair and sofa shapes, painted in primary colors. Seeing these, the colleague said, “You brought me all the way out here to see this pile of junk when we could have been having a nice lunch?” He continued his rant about the work all the way back to the office. When they got there my friend said, “You said you don‟t like the work, but you haven‟t stopped talking about it since you first saw it.” Whether he liked it or not, he could not forget it. If the artwork is fresh and new, you can‟t expect to like it straightaway, because you have nothing to compare it with. The effort of coming to terms with things you do not understand makes them all the more

-6-

valuable to you when you do grasp them. Good art speaks for itself. That doesn‟t mean you have to like it. So the next time you go to an art show, or look at anything for that matter, observe what effect it has on you and try to form your own opinion. That way, you become the critic and not a mouthpiece for someone else‟s opinions. 56. What does the colleague think about the art exhibition? A. He feels it a waste of time going to the exhibition. B. He is very interested in the work shown on the exhibition. C. He is disappointed that art is abused on the exhibition. D. He thinks his understanding about art is far better than the author of the work on the show. 57. The underlined word „rant‟ means ________. A. praise B. hatred C. complaint D. misunderstanding

58. Which of the following does NOT represent the author‟s opinion about art? A. Good art speaks for itself. B. Good art doesn‟t mean you have to like it. C. It matters more what impression a piece of art work leaves on you. D. Learn to be a mouthpiece for someone‟s opinion matters more. 59. What suggestion does the author give for going to an art show? A. Like it whether it is good or not. B. Don‟t compare it with anything.

C. Observe its effect and form your own opinion. D. Be a good mouthpiece.

B Because osteoporosis（骨质疏松）often causes no symptoms at all until a fall breaks a bone, the only way to tell if you have it is through a bone mine

ral thickness test. This is advised for anyone over 50 who has suffered a broken bone and all women over 65. Right now, the test involves lying on your back while the arm of a special X-ray device moves over your body to measure the thickness of various bones. CyberLogic, a New York R&D firm, has developed a simpler device that‟s nine inches high, runs on four AA batteries and scans bones with ultrasound. If the portable machine proves as reliable as X-rays, it could be a breakthrough, says New York osteoporosis expert Dr. Ethel Siris.

-7-

“A small device like this could make bone checkups part of a routine office visit, because it‟s both affordable and user-friendly.” If testing shows that you have osteoporosis, some major advances in treatment can help. While there are several effective medications on the market, including Fosamax, Actonel, Evista, Miacalcin and Forteo, the latest wonder drug is Boniva, the first once-a-month pill for osteoporosis. The FDA recently approved this drug, which works by reducing activity in cells responsible for bone breakdown. Should osteoporosis get severe enough to break a vertebra, doctors have a new way to make repairs: Two tiny balloons are inserted into the bone through surgical tubes. The balloons are expanded to push the bone back into its normal position, then bone cement is used to keep it from breaking again. 60. What does the underlined word “This” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Osteoporosis often causes no sign. B. The only way to tell if you have osteoporosis. C. A bone mineral thickness test. D. A fall snaps a bone.

61. What can we infer from the passage? A. Women are easier to get osteoporosis. B. Men are easier to get osteoporosis. C. Anyone over 50 is easy to get osteoporosis. D. Man and women share equal chances to get osteoporosis. 62. Which of the following is true about the portable scanner? A. It‟s easy to carry along. C. It‟s a breakthrough. B. It‟s as reliable as X-rays. D. It‟s not yet put into experiment.

63. Which of the four medications is the most convenient? A. Fosamax. B. Evista. C. Forteo. C D. Boniva.

D Be careful! Someone may use the truth to deceive. When he tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”

-9-

This guy‟s a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He‟s really a big loser! He didn‟t say anything that was false, but he purposely left out important information. That‟s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest. Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this tactic. Let‟s say that during Governor Smith‟s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smith‟s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That‟s true. However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith‟s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.” Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It‟s against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might boast, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation. This kind of deception happens too often. It‟s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well. 67. Which statement is true according to the article? A. Whenever people tell the truth, they are really lying. B. You can‟t trust gamblers. C. All governors help their states. D. The truth can be used in dishonest ways. 68. The underlined word “deceive” in the first sentence means ________. A. removing one‟s teeth in public C. fool B. ignore warnings D. repair

69. The author clearly wants people to ________. A. think carefully about what they read and hear B. wear mismatched socks during political campaigns C. never trust anyone D. vote for female candidates 70. An appropriate title for this passage would be ________. A. Half-truth B. Everyone Lies C. Lying With the Truth

第四部分 任务型阅读（共 10 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 请认真阅读下列短文， 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。 注 意：每空格 1 个单词。 The State of Hawaii is a state of the United States, located on a group of islands in the central Pacific Ocean southwest of the continental United States, southeast of Japan, and northeast of Australia. The state was admitted to the Union on August 21st, 1959, making it the 50th

state. Its capital is Honolulu on the island of Oahu. The most recent census puts the state‟s population at 1,211,537. This state includes nearly the entire volcanic Hawaiian Island chain, which is made up of hundreds of islands spread over 1,500 miles. At the southeastern end of the group of islands, the eight “main islands” are Niihau, Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe, Maui, and Hawaii. The last by far the largest, and is often called the “Big Island” or “Big Isle” to avoid confusion with the state as a whole. Hawaii‟s tallest mountain, Mauna Kea stands at 13,796 ft（4,205m）but is taller than Mount Everest if followed to the base of the mountain—on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. All of the Hawaiian islands were formed by volcanoes erupting from a magma （岩浆） source described in geological theory as a hotspot. The theory maintains that as the plate beneath much of the Pacific Ocean moves in a northwesterly direction, the hot spot remains quiet, slowly creating new volcanoes. This explains why only volcanoes on the southern half of the Big Island, and the Loihi Seamount deep below the waters off its southern coast, are presently active, with Loihi being the newest volcano to form. The last volcanic eruption outside the Big Island occurred at Haleakala on Maui in the late 18th century, though recent research suggests that Haleakala‟s most recent eruption could be hundreds of years earlier. Because of the islands‟ volcanic formation, native life before human activity is said to have arrived by the “3W‟s”: wind（carried through the air）, waves（brought by ocean currents）, and wings（birds, insects, and whatever they brought with them）. The complete separation of the Hawaiian Islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean from any continent, and the wide range of environments to be found on high islands located in and near the tropic 回归线） have resulted in （ ,

四、任务型阅读 71.

I think it quite correct. This is an important measure for the quality-oriented education. As is well known to all, in order to raise the number of students to meet the required score in gaokao, almost all high schools gave lessons during the holidays. We students suffered a lot both physically and mentally. However, my parents felt worried, and they complained, “Now that the present system of the college entrance exam hasn‟t changed, can you cope with the fierce competition without extra lessons and enough exercise?” Believe it or not, no summer vacation has been so meaningful to me as that of this year. Every day, I spent several hours going over my lessons. I also had time to relax and enjoy my hobbies. I went swimming, watched interesting programs on TV, did some reading and met my friends. In addition, I participated in community work and this has raised my awareness of public service. I really enjoyed my vacation. 书 面 表 达 评 分 标 准 一、 评分原则 77. arrival 78.

He used to be a chain smoker, you know. W: What about you? Have you thought about quitting smoking? （Text 4） W: Summer vacation is coming. Have you already got any plan? M: Not really. But I‟m going to head down to Vancouver Island to visit my brother for a few days first. We haven‟t seen each other for a couple of years. Then maybe go back home. I‟m a little homesick. （Text 5） W: I feel scared of hosting the evening party. You know, this is the first time for me to host such an important party. M: Don‟t you worry. Just be yourself and everything will be fine. I‟m sure you can do quite well. （Text 6） W: So, what are we going to do tonight, Dave? M: Let‟s watch TV

. There‟s a soccer match between the US and Brazil on. W: No way! We are on VACATION. I refuse to sit in a hotel room and watch soccer on TV. I want to go to see a play. M: Come on. I‟m sure it‟s too late to get tickets now. W: Nice try, but you don‟t know for sure without trying. M: All right, all right. Which shows are popular right now?

W: I read in New York Magazine yesterday that Jessica Lange and Alec Baldwin are co-starring in A Streetcar Named Desire. Isn‟t it great? Let me first call the ticket agent to see if there are any tickets. （Text 7） W: Are you going to Paris, too? M: Actually, I‟m going to Paris first, and then to Amsterdam. I‟d like to visit museums in these two cities. W: May I ask where you‟re from? M: I‟m from Spain. W: Oh, I went to Malaga once, about five years ago. It was beautiful. M: I‟m glad you liked it. Are you Japanese? W: No. I‟m from China. M: Oh, I‟ve been to China. （Text 8） W: Taxi! M: Where to go, Madam? W: Battery Park, please—but can you make a stop at Union Square? I want to pick up my friend there. M: Of course. W: How long will it take to Union Square? M: Well, that depends on the traffic, you know. It‟s pretty heavy this afternoon. W: Can you make it in fifteen minutes? I‟m already ten minutes late. M: OK, I‟ll try. Where exactly is your friend waiting at that place? W: On the 14th Street side. Oh, we‟re already at the 16th Street. You‟re fast. Can you make a left at the next corner? M: Oh, you got it. W: I think she‟s around here. Can you slow down? Ah, there she is! Just in front of the bookshop. Sally! （Text 9） M: Excuse me, could you help me?

W: Yes. What seems to be the problem? M: Well, I was wondering if anyone has turned in a passport. W: I‟m afraid not. Have you lost your passport? M: I think so. I can‟t find it anywhere in my hotel room, and I remember the last place I used it yesterday was in this department store. W: Where exactly did you use your passport in our store? M: I wanted to buy a pair of sunglasses first, but I couldn‟t find a suitable one. Then, in the sports department I had to show it to pay for a pair of trainers with my traveler‟s checks. W: Well, would you please fill in this lost property report? I‟ll keep my eye out for it. Those kinds of things usually turn up eventually, but I suggest you contact your embassy and tell them about your situation, so they can issue you a new passport in case it doesn‟t show up. M: OK. Do you have a pen? W: Here you are. M: Thank you. Oh, I always take good care of my things. I don‟t know what happened to me yesterday. （Text 10） Welcome to THIS IS AMERICA in VOA Special English. I‟m Barbara Klein. For sports fans, August means different things. For those who follow American football, August is traditionally when players begin training. For tennis lovers, the United States Open begins on August twenty-eighth in New York City. For basketball fans—well, they

have a little time. The National Basketball Association just released its full list of games for the coming season. Opening night is October thirty-first. So what have we left out? Oh yes, the boys—and girls—of summer. Little League baseball. Their World Series is August twenty-seventh in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. As for the major leagues, their World Series is not until October twenty-first. There are probably more than one thousand songs about baseball. The most popular is “Take Me Out to the Ball Game.” It was written in nineteen-oh-eight by Jack Norworth. He wrote it after seeing a sign about baseball in an underground train in New York City. Jack Norworth reportedly had never seen a Major League Baseball game. He did not see one until thirty-three years after he wrote the song. People still sing “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” during baseball games. In the game, near the end everyone stands up and stretches their arms and legs. Most often, they sing the
