It was a cold afternoon on May 6th, 1954, when Bannister knew he had a 24 chance. Bannister had been 25 hard and was very fit, but the weather conditions were a real 26 to him. Describing the 27 later, Bannister said,“On the way to the track the wind blew strongly. As I 28 for the start I glanced at the flag. It moved 29 now. This was the moment when I made my decision.”
“The gun fired. My legs 30 to meet no resistance, as if I was 31forward by some unknown force. The noise from the faithful 32 gave me greater strength. I felt the 33 of a lifetime had come.”
“I was driven on by a 34 of fear and pride. My body had long since used up all its energy 35 it went on running just the same. This was the critical moment when my legs were strong enough to carry me over the last few yards as they 36 could have done in previous years. When I leapt at（冲向）the 37 tape, I fell, almost 38 . “I knew I had done it, even before I 39 the time.

第一节： 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的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。（共20小题，满分40分）
A
Jobs and work do much more than provide happiness and satisfaction. We’re all used to thinking that work provides the material things of life. But we are less aware of its psychological function. Work can make the difference between a full and an empty life.
Nowadays we often hear the complaints: “I can’t wait for my vacation,” “I wish I could stay home today.” So it may be surprising to learn that psychologists（心理学家） have recognized the positive contribution of work to the sense of personal achievement. Rather than a punishment or a burden, work is the opportunity to realize one’s ability. Psychologists have announced its healing effect on mental health patients. Many patients who always feel sad gain their self-confidence after reemployment.
But why? Why should work be such a significant source of human satisfaction? The answer lies in the pride that is provided by the activity of accomplishing.
The human being longs for a sense of being accomplished. Each of us wants to feel he or she has the ability to do some satisfying things. It is common to see a craftsman（工匠） who likes to make an object that may be useful or beautiful. You also can see the carpenter or designer stand aside and admire the product of his personal skill.
Some are misled into thinking that people like to save energy, and rest themselves as much as possible. Just the opposite, it is energy spending in an accomplished work team that is satisfying. I remember seeing a team of men in a chair factory whose job is to make chair. And there are several such “teams. One team is particularly known for its good cooperation and fast working speed. The men know they are good. They would work for ten hours before a rest – to show other groups what is skilled and best. When I talk with them, each is proud of being a part of the accomplished team. And this sense of belonging is the typical satisfaction of the work. 41. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. Work helps mental patients recover their health B. Work is punishment or a burden
C. Jobless people are likely to suffer from some psychological troubles D. Work can make a difference in our life
42. The craftsman admires his own product mainly because _______________ A. it is useful B. it is beautiful
C. it is both useful and beautiful
D. it gives him a sense of accomplishment
43. From the passage we can conclude that most people _______________. A. hate to do difficult work B. like to save energy
C. are willing to make use of their energy D. would rather rest than work
44. Most people can gain satisfaction from work, this is because ______________. A. they find pride in achievement
B. they are proud of being part of an accomplishment work team C. they want to live a full and meaning life D. all of the above
B
Maps and statistics can tell us a lot about where a country is headed. Take the US Census Bureau’s latest findings on American cities. They show that for the first time since 1900, Detroit is not on the list of the Top 10 most populous US cities. In its place is San Jose, California.
Detroit has been the long-time centre of the US auto industry, but in the past few years the “Big Three” US automakers—General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler—have closed plants and laid off workers. With the factory closings and huge job losses, Detroit cannot collect enough tax revenue to pay its bills, forcing it to close schools and lay off city workers. Cutbacks then cause others to flee the city.
“It’s part of a pattern for the heavily industrialized cities,” says Dana Johnson, an economist in Detroit. “There’s been an ongoing dynamic(变化) here of people fleeing the city looking for better schools, better lifestyles, better services.
Detroit is hardly alone. After World War II, the US was the world’s leading manufacturer. Cars, televisions, toys, and clothing made in America were exported around the world. As a result, the well-paid factory workers formed the backbone of a rising middle class. In the last three decades, the US economy has change. Companies have moved factories overseas to take advantage of lower wages in Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe.
Where are people who leave the northeast and Midwest going? They are moving south and west, another broad trend. In general, people are moving to where it’s warmer, less expensive and less crowded, or where jobs are more plentiful in growing service industries like health care, in the technology sector, or in factories that moved from the northeast or Midwest.
In a sense, the computer chips of San Jose, the new 10th largest city, in the heart of what is known as Silicon Valley, have replaced the sheet metal and molten steel of Detroit as the symbol of American economic power.
45. The main difficulty that Detroit is now facing is _________________.
A. the factory closing and huge job losses
B. many people’s moving to the south and west C. The poor quality of the automobile D. The lack of the computer chips
46. Which of the following isn’t the trend of the change?
A. The decline of the manufacturing economy B. Computers’ moving overseas
C. The end of the US cities’ development
D. The migration of Americans to the south and west
47. Which of the following is not true about San Jose?
A. The newly-listed 10th largest city B. The heart of Silicon Valley
C. The symbol of American economic power D. The center of the heavily industrialized cities
48. Which statement is not correct according to the passage?
A. Detroit has been on the list of the Top 10 most populous US cities for over a century B. People immigrate south and west to take advantage of lower wages there C. The US was an important exporting country in the middle of the last century D. The US economy now is not as prosperous as 30 years ago C
When former American President Bill Clinton traveled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam, he repeatedly referred to the Korean president’s wife as Mrs. Kim. By mistake, President Clinton’s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese. Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names. President Kim Young Sam’s wife was named Sohn Myong Suk. Therefore, she should be addressed (称谓)as Mrs. Sohn. President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears. His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan. In addition to Koreans, some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names. This practice often puzzles(使困惑) English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents. They become puzzled about the student’s correct last name. Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures. Mexican naming customs are different as well. When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husband’s name after the word de (of). This affects (影响)how they fill in forms in the United States. When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father’s family name. But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother. This often causes puzzlement. Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations: don’t always think that a married woman uses her husband’s last name. Remember that in may Asian cultures, the order of first and last names is reversed (颠倒).Ask which name a person would prefer to use. If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it correctly. 49. The story of Bill Clinton is used to . A. improve US-Korean relations B. introduce the topic of the text C. describe his visit to Korea
D. tell us how to address a person
50.The word “gears”in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .
A. action plans B. naming customs C. travel maps D. thinking patterns 51. When a woman marries in Korea, she . A. continues to use her family name
B .uses her husband’s given name C. shares her husband’s family name D. adds her husband’s given name to hers
52. To address a married woman properly, you’d better . A. use her middle name B. use her husband’s first name C. ask her which name she likes D. change the order of her names
D
As a professor at a large American university, there is a phrase that I hear often from students:“I’m only a 1050.”The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice, or even have a chance to get a higher education at all. The SAT score, whether it is 800, 1 100 or 1550, has become the focus at this time of their life.
It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores, then a great amount of their self-respect is put in the number. Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over. The low test score, they think, will make it impossible for them to get into a good college. And without a degree from a prestigious university, they fear that many of life’s doors will remain forever closed.
According to a study done in the 1990s, the SAT is only a reliable indicator of a student’s future performance in most cases. Interestingly, it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicators——like a student’s high school grades. Even if standardized tests like the SAT could show a student’s academic proficiency（学业水平）,they will never be able to test things like confidence, efforts and willpower, and are unable to give us the full picture of a student’s potentialities（潜力）.This is not to suggest that we should stop using SAT scores in our college admission process. The SAT is an excellent test in many ways, and the score is still a useful means of testing students. However, it should be only one of many methods used. 53. The purpose of the SAT is to test students’ . A. strong will B. academic ability
C. full potentialities D. confidence in school work 54. Students’ self-respect is influenced by their .
A. scores in the SAT B. achievements in mathematic C. job opportunities D. money spent on education 55.“A prestigious university”is most probably
A. a famous university B. a technical university C. a traditional university D. an expensive university 56. This passage is mainly about . A. how to prepare for the SAT B. stress caused by the SAT C. American higher education D. the SAT and its effects

Charles Blackman is famous for his beautiful painting of dreams.

Hello, everyone. It’s nice to speak about what we can do for our school, and I think each of us can do something.
The first thing we can do is to make our campus more beautiful. Every one of us may plant a tree in the school, or organize a thorough cleaning on the campus. We can also form a good habit of putting the rubbish in the trashcan.
The second thing we can do is to protect the facilities in our school. When we leave the
classroom, we should never forget to turn off the light or close the door. We should not leave the tap water running or waste any materials in the laboratory class.
If everyone does one thing for our school, I believe we will turn our school into a better place to Study and live in.
Thank you for listening!
