第三部分   閱讀(共兩節(jié),滿分40分)

第一節(jié)  閱讀理解(共15小題,每小題2分,滿分30分)

閱讀下列三篇短文,從每題所給的四個選現(xiàn)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

A

Where in the world can you take an hour’s train ride, and pass a forest, a London street, a scene from the Wild West, and a burning building that never burns down? There’s only one place, and that’s Hollywood, in California. The scenes you see from the tourist train are film sets in the Universal Studios, one of the oldest and largest movie companies in the USA.

A visit to Universal Studios brings back memories of great days of Hollywood, the films and the stars. But they are only memories. Hollywood isn’t quite the same as it used to be. Costs have gone up and confidence has gone down. Movie-makers are afraid to spend their money on expensive new ideas. Instead, they repeat old ones.

The film industry is changing fast. Teenagers still go out to the movies. The theatre is a good place to meet friends away from home. But older people mostly stay home to watch series, like Dynasty have become as important to Hollywood as expensive movies. These “soap opera”, as they are called, show rich, powerful families living in beautiful homes and wearing beautiful clothes. But the actors and actresses are nearly all middle-aged, like many of the people who watch them.

Though it is soap operas that are keeping the film-makers of Hollywood in Business, big films are still being made in America. But more and more of them are made outside Hollywood. New York is the most important new center, but there are many others as well. Movie-makers have realized that they don’t need Hollywood any more--modern cameras and real houses instead of expensively made copies in a studio. Other states, especially Florida and Texas, are working hard to take the film business away from California. They are offering better working conditions and lower costs.

But Hollywood is fighting back. The state of California is trying hard to keep its best-known industry.

41. From the passage, we know Universal Studios is ________.

A. a very large park               B. a busy London street

C. a famous movie company    D. an old Hollywood movie

42. The movie industry in California isn’t as successful as before because ________.

A. young people don’t go to movie theatres any more

B. there is strong competition from other states

C. its movie companies are in need of young stars

D. the state hasn’t put a development plan into action

43. Which of the following seems to be a threat to Hollywood?

A. The use of modern cameras and other equipment

B. The interest of middle-aged film stars

C. The making of TV series like Dynasty

D. The expensively made copies of scenes

44. What can we learn about “soap operas” from the passage?

A. They are teenagers’ favorites.       B. They are much more expensive.

C. They are less attractive.       D. They are cheaper and easier to make.

45. The passage mainly tells us ________.

A. something about the film industry in the USA

B. the importance of soap operas in Hollywood

C. the good old days of Hollywood

D. the film business in California

B

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.

    Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap.

    Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go some place to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.

    Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.

    Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.

    Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.

    A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!

 46. The passage tells us _______ have a communication problem.

    A. parents and other people

    B. school kids and their parents

    C. teachers and their students

    D. parents and children of all ages

 47. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you _______.

    A. don’t get to them often                      B. write a letter to them

    C. don’t speak to them politely                     D. express yourself well

 48. The underlined phrase “cool off” in the passage means “_______”.

    A. to make yourself happy                           B. to get you quiet and relaxed(放松)

    C. to have a good rest                                   D. to hide yourself quickly

 49. If there’s really a generation gap between you and your parents, you’d better _____.

    A. have a talk with them often               B. keep away from them

    C. agree with them all the time               D. argue with them

 50. From the passage we learn that _______.

    A. parents and children should not have a generation gap

    B. parents should show love and respect to their children

    C. there are some good ways to bridge the generation gap

D. there are so many serious problems in families today

C

The world economy has run into a brick wall. Despite countless warnings in recent years about the need to address a potential(潛在的) hunger crisis in poor countries and an energy crisis worldwide, world leaders failed to think ahead. The result is a global food crisis. Wheat, corn and rice prices have more than doubled in the past two years. And oil prices have increased more than three times since the start of 2004. These food-price increases, together with increasing energy costs, will slow down if not stop economic growth in many parts of the world and will even affect political stability(穩(wěn)定). Practical solutions to these problems do exist, but we'll have to start thinking ahead and acting globally.

Here are three steps to ease the current food crisis and avoid the potential for a global crisis. The first is to promote the dramatic success of Malawi, a country in southern Africa, which three years ago established a special fund to help its farmers get fertilizer and seeds with high productivity. Malawi’s harvest doubled after just one year. An international fund based on the Malawi model would cost a mere $10 per person annually in the rich world, or $10 billion altogether.

Second, the U.S. and Europe should give up their policies of paying partly for the change of food into biofuels(生物燃料). The U.S. government gives farmers a taxpayer-financed payment of 51 cents per gallon of ethanol (乙醇) changed from corn. There may be a case for biofuels produced on lands that do not produce foods ― tree crops, grasses and wood products ― but there's no case for the government to pay to put the world's dinner into the gas tank.

Third, we urgently need to weather-proof the world's crops as soon and as effectively as possible. For a poor farmer, sometimes something as simple as a farm pond ― which collects rainwater to be used in dry weather ― can make the difference between a good harvest and a bad one. The world has already promised to establish a Climate Adaptation Fund to help poor regions climate-proof vital economic activities such as food production and health care but has not yet acted upon the promise.

51. An international fund based on the Malawi model would______.

A. cost each of the developed countries $10 billion per year

B. aim to double the harvest in southern African countries in a year

C. decrease the food prices as well as the energy prices

D. give poor farmers access to fertilizer and highly productive seeds

52. With the second step, the author expresses the idea that ______.

A. it is not wise to change food crops into gas

B. it is misleading to put tree crops into the gas tank

C. we should get alternative(可供選擇的)forms of fuel in any way

D. biofuels should be developed on a large scale

53. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. A rain-collecting pond is a simple safeguard against dry weather

B. A Climate Adaptation Fund has been established to help the poor

C. The world has made a serious promise to build farm ponds.

D. It makes a great difference whether we develop wood products or not.

54. The writer’s purpose of writing the passage is ______.

A. to warn the world of a potential hunger crisis in poor countries

B. to address a potential hunger crisis in poor countries and an energy crisis worldwide

C. to give advice on how to relieve the global food shortage

D. to establish a Climate Adaptation Fund to help poor regions

55. In the passage, the author calls on us to______.

A. slow down but not to stop economic.

B. develop tree crops, grasses and wood products

C. achieve economic growth and political stability

D. act now so as to relieve the potential global food shortage

第二節(jié)   任務(wù)型寫作(共1小題,滿分25分)

請根據(jù)以下任務(wù)說明和寫作要求,寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。(請將該部分答案寫在答題卷上)

[任務(wù)要求]

閱讀下面的短文。

As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.

Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?

Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making your dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it’s impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream.

In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.

You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.

As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies. 

[寫作內(nèi)容]

(1)請簡明扼要地復(fù)述這篇文章的基本內(nèi)容,該部分需要寫大約30詞;

(2))根據(jù)自己的實際情況,以“我夢想的職業(yè)” 為題寫一篇英語小短文。文章至少包含以下的內(nèi)容要點,該部分的字?jǐn)?shù)需要寫大約120詞。

a.你夢想的職業(yè);

b.你的理由;

c.你將如何實現(xiàn)。

[寫作要求]

你可以使用實例或其它論述方法支持你的論點,也可以參照閱讀材料的內(nèi)容和使用其中的一些詞語,但不要抄襲閱讀材料中的句子。

My Ideal Job

      As is mentioned in the passage, it’s a big challenge for everybody to make his/her dream come true. In order to realize it, he/she is expected to be clear about his/her dream and then keep on pursuing it.

 When it comes to the dream, which is a big topic, we young students prefer to our ideal jobs in the future. There are various kinds of jobs in the world and people choose different jobs as their ideal careers. This happens mainly for the reason that everyone has his own interest.
     As for me, I have been dreaming of being a guide for a long time. First, I am fond of travelling so much that I want to get a job about tourism. Secondly, good guides are knowledgeable, meanwhile, they have wide vision. Finally, guide can constantly expand his knowledge and understand lots of customs about different cultures and countries.

To achieve my dream of being a qualified guide, I have to make sufficient preparations. Fro one thing, I must learn my subjects well, such as geography, history, art and so on and travel a lot at my spare time, just as a famous saying goes: “Seeing is believing.” For another, I should improve my oral-describing ability so that I can express my feelings fluently, introduce the places of interest clearly and communicate well with my travellers .

Being a good guide is difficult, but I believe if I devote myself to it, I’ll be successful sooner or later.
