三、阅读理解（共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分）

A

There is no doubt about it. The best way to learn new words is to do it unconsciously. I dont mean while youre unconscious. I mean while you are unconscious of the fact that it is sinking in.

That is how I learnt the 30，000 words in my vocabulary by living in an Englishspeaking world， mother tongue. I just pick them up. But some of them may be misunderstood. Now， to misunderstand does not mean not to understand. To misunderstand is to understand but incorrectly.

The 5% mislearnt of all the words we “know” will be the least frequently used words， as the more frequently used words are less likely to be mislearnt. Some of the misunderstanding may live with all our lives， without knowing that we got them wrong.

Many English teachers think that this natural method of learning words in ones own mother tongue can be used for a second language learning. They teach their students how to play the Guessing Game. “There is no time to look up in your dictionaries all the new words you come across，” they will say. “You have to practice guessing what the word means from the context.”

This method of guessing in a second language learning does not work. It may succeed in many cases， but results in hundreds or thousands of wronglyguessed meanings of words.

And whats more， there are more separate meanings than there are words themselves. Our learners dictionaries usually have many meanings. A good dictionary is what makes selflearning possible.

Dont guess！ Look it up！

1. It is certain that the best way to learn new words is .

A. to learn them by oneself

B. to learn by living in an Englishspeaking world and using them frequently

C. to guess them from the context

D. to get more separate meanings of each word

2. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to .

A. the 30， 000 words

B. English teachers

C. misunderstood words

D. frequently used words

3. Which of the following is most likely NOT true？

A. Some of the words the writer knows must have been misunderstood.

B. Most of the 30， 000 words the writer learned are frequently used ones.

C. How many words the writer got wrong are not known.

D. All the words the writer knows were learned by reading them.

4. It can be inferred that .endprint

A. when somebody is conscious， he or she usually cant learn new words by heart

B. we must use the words as often as possible in order to master them

C. its the best way to learn new words that one should only guess their meanings from the context

D. only dictionaries can help us learn language well.

If your idea of a good time is to sleep in a hut， carry your own rubbish， and eat insects and wild animals， then ecotourism may be just for you. But is it also for people who want to fly over a rainforest sky before checking into a comfortable and expensive hotel in the middle of a national park？ Whatever ecotourism is， it is hot—perhaps too hot for its own good.

The World Tourism Organization claims that the industry looked after 592 million travelers last year who spent $423 billion， and of all the types of tourism， ecotourism seems to be the fastest growing. By the broadest measure—a trip with some sort of nature or wilderness element—ecotourism already accounts for perhaps a third of these travelers. On a stricter definition favored by the Ecotourism Society， it is “responsible travel that preserves natural environments and keeps up the wellbeing of local people，” which accounts for no more than 5% of tourism.

Ideally， ecotourism helps both people and nature. Before the disastrous civil war， Rwandas Mountain Gorilla Project was one such model. Visits to the gorillas were limited， local guides ensured good behavior or on the part of the humans， and the high admission charge—$170 a day—paid for salaries and presentation of the gorillas living areas. As this made the gorillas worth more alive than dead， poaching （偷猎） decreased. As another example， preservation Cooperation， Africas largest ecotour operator， uses only local labor， buys products from local farmers， and supports building projects： such as clinics and schools. This contribution to social advance is also good business sense. Projects from which local people benefit directly are less likely to be affected by poaching and theft.

Ecotourisms biggest problem is labeling. Going on an ecotour is no guarantee of good ecology. So far， only Australia has an official system to grade tour operators and tourist attractions on the basis of their “greenness”. Another issue is how ecotourists damage the environment. Dolphinfeeding， for instance， is innocent and enjoyable， but after too many free meals， the dolphins forget how to catch their own dinners.endprint

Keeping prices high is one way to limit enthusiasm. But measuring the effect of ecotourism on human environments is trickier. It is common， for villagers to see ecotourism as a source of new income. Hence， the very tourists who venture in search of traditional cultures end up breaking them up. As ecotourism becomes more popular， it will finally threaten the very things that are good for business.

5. According to the passage， ecotourism may .

A. harm its own purpose by becoming too popular

B. save the environment by becoming more popular

C. harm its own purpose by becoming less popular

D. save the environment by becoming less popular

6. Within the tourism industry as a whole， ecotourism .

A. has no single， clear definition that would satisfy everybody

B. has expanded less rapidly than other types of tourism

C. claims that no comfortable hotels should be used by tourists

D. most often has a negative effect on local culture

7. Rwandas Mountain Gorilla Project is a good example because .

A. tourists were free to visit the gorillas whenever they wanted to

B. local peoples attitudes toward animals were not affected

C. the gorillas were protected from both tourists and local people

D. the gorillas living area was modernized because of the high admission

8.  most directly benefits the local community.

A. Rwandas Mountain Gorilla Project

B. Preservation Corporation

C. Australias grading system

D. Dolphinfeeding

In some urban centers， work holism is so common that people do not consider it unusual： they accept the lifestyle as normal. Government workers in Washington D. C.， for example， frequently work sixty to seventy hours a week. They don

t do this because they have to; they do it because they want to.

Work holism can be a serious problem. Because true workaholics （工作狂） would rather work than do anything else， they probably dont know how to relax.

Is work holism always dangerous？ Perhaps not. There are， certainly， people who work well under stress. Some studies show that many workaholics have great energy and interest in life. Their work is so pleasurable that they are actually very happy. For most workaholics， work and entertainment keep them busy and creative.

Why do workaholics enjoy their jobs so much？ There are several advantages to work. Of course， it provides people with paychecks， and this is important. But it offers more than financial security. It provides people with selfconfidence; they have a feeling of satisfaction when theyve produced a challenging piece of work and are able to say， “I made that.” Psychologists claim that work gives people an identity through participation in work， they get a sense of self and individualism. In addition， most jobs provide people with a socially acceptable way to meet others. Perhaps some people are compulsive about their work， but their addiction seems to be a safeeven an advantageousone.endprint

9. The passage indicates that workaholics .

A. just know work but nothing else

B. are willing to work hard for long hours without pay

C. find their work provide them more satisfaction and selfconfidence than how much they are paid

D. has the work with more responsibility than others

10. One of the reasons that some people are not willing to quit their jobs even in their eighties and nineties is that .

A. they are in the need of financial security

B. they would rather work than be disturbed by domestic affairs

C. they long for a sense of identity and being accomplished

D. they may have health problems from sheer boredom

11. This passage is mainly about .

A. workaholics are usually successful people， but their lives are in a mess

B. work holism can lead to serious problems but it can also create a joyful life

C. people who are absorbed in their work may enjoy movies， sports and other kinds of entertainment

D. those who work even under difficult conditions may be very happy

12. It can be inferred from the passage that .

A. in the eyes of all the common people workaholics are peculiar

B. to workaholics， work is the sole source of happiness

C. a piece of challenging work may provide the workaholics a sense of satisfaction

D. workaholics are as addicted to their job as other people are to drugs or alcohol

In Kansas City， Missouri， a computer helps firefighters. The computer contains information about every one of the 350，000 street addresses in the city. When firefighters answer a call， the computer will give them important information about the burning building： its position， size， type and so on. In fact， the computer system has almost unlimited ways of helping firefighters with the problems facing them. For instance， it can give medical information about invalids （病残者） living in a burning building. With this information， the firefighters can take special care to find these sick persons and remove them quickly and safely.

The Kansas City computer system also helps a medical record of each of the citys 900 firefighters. This kind of information is specially useful when a fireman is injured. With this medical information， doctors at the hospital can treat the injured firefighters more quickly and easily.

The firefighters themselves greatly appreciate the computers help. They know about possible dangers ahead of them and can prepare for them. Many times the computer information helps to save lives and property （财产）， sometimes the lives are those of firefighters themselves！endprint

四、任务型阅读（共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分）

Ambition is a necessary quality in life. It is the force which drives us on to use whatever talent we have got. If we havent got some degree of ambition， these talents will not be used for our own and others benefit. We must continually want to be better than we are. Without ambition we are just jellyfish that flop through life. We only react to events; we dont try to control them.

Ambition， however， can have several defects.

First of all， it can be unrealistic. We may not be able to see the limits of our own abilities， so we do ambitious things that are completely beyond us. Our career masters can see our good qualities and our limitations objectively. They may tell us that we havent the ability to deal with people and would make good businessmen. We refuse to take their evaluation. We keep on trying. Many years and many disappointments later we are forced to accept their judgement. But what a waste of time our illfounded ambition has caused us！

Secondly， our ambition can be too concentrated. We devote our attention to one narrow aim， such as getting distinctions in our science subjects. Everything that may draw us away from this aim is cut out of our lives. In the end we get our distinctions. But what damage we have caused ourselves in the process！ We are isolated beings who only care about a particular examination. And we probably wont make good scientists. We lack the breadth of view necessary for success in higher studies.

Thirdly， our ambition can be limited to lifeless objectives. We want to gain money， or power， or membership of some circles. Persons who feel inferior try to make up by seeking the respect of others through possessions of these artificial signs of worth.endprint

Fourthly， our ambition may be selfcentered. Instead of directing some of our ambition towards community improvement we may exploit members of the community in the interests of selfadvancements. In later life we may be ambitious for the success of our children but we regard this success as only a further mark of our own success.

Ambition is necessary in the lives of individuals—necessary for their own improvement and for the improvement of the community in which they live. But， like all blind forces， it must be directed if it is not to cause disaster. It must be tightly controlled by the head and the heart. Otherwise ambition may demand too high a price in terms of human qualities.

五、One possible version：

Recently， more and more frequent heavy hazes are greatly influencing our life and health.

Nowadays， the hazy weather frequently appears in our country. It has not only done harm to peoples health， but also affected the public transportation. Terrible accidents happen every now and then， some highways have to be shut down because of the low visibility.

Obviously， air pollution is the main factor that has resulted in the frequency of hazy weather. At the same time， smoke from burning coal and all kinds of dust are also important factors. Besides， exhaust emission from cars and buses has made the situation even worse.

So proper measures should be adopted to deal with the serious problem. The students opportunities for outdoor sports activities should be decreased， washing faces and hands with running water after each outing is also important， and do not forget to wear a goodquality mask to protect yourself while going outside.

I hope well regain a fresh， clean and bright world soon. （150 words）
