The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath an old willow tree. Not 36__ with life, I was down. A young boy out of breath 37 me, all tired from play. He stood right before me with his head tilted(傾斜的) down, 38 with great excitement, “Look what I found!”

第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

第一节 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。

A

Today just as technology changed the face of industry, farms have experienced an “agricultural revolution”. On the farm of today, machines provide almost all the power.

One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently. The computers help them keep more accurate records so they can make better decisions on what crops to plant, how much livestock(家畜) to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers. Programs are being written for pig producers, grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be able to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses. There can be no doubt that farmers will rely on computers even more in the future. While the old-time farm depended on horse power, and modern farms depend on machine power, farms of the future will depend on computer power.

Another technological advance which is still in the experimental stage is the robot, a real “mechanized hired hand” that will be able to move and, in some ways, think like a human being. Agricultural engineers believe that computer-aided robots will make shocking changes in farming before the end of the century. Unlike farmers of the present, farmers of the future will find that many day-to-day tasks will be done for them. Scientists are now developing robots that will be able to shear（修剪） sheep, drive tractors, and harvest fruit. Even complex jobs will be done by robots. For example, in order to milk their cows, farmers must first drive them into the barn, then connect them to the milking machines, watch the machines, and disconnect them when they are finished. In the future, this will all be done by robots. In addition, when the milking is completed, the robots will automatically check to make sure that the milk is pure. The complete change of the farm is far in the future, but engineers expect that some robots will be used before long.

56. Which sentence carried the main idea of the whole passage? A. The first sentence of the third paragraph.

B. The first sentence of the second paragraph. C. The first sentence of the first paragraph. D. The last sentence of the second paragraph.

57. According to the passage, computers can not help farmers decide _______. A. how much money they can earn from their products B. whether to plant a certain kind of crop C. what livestock to raise D. when to sell their products

58. Which of the following statements is true?

A. Farmers in the future will depend totally on computers. B. Farmers mainly use machines on their farms at present. C. Both computers and robots have been in use on today’s farms.

D. Students at agricultural colleges must take computer classes because they can do

Nothing without the help of computers on today’s farms. 59. What is the best title for the whole passage?

A. Computer, Farmers’ Best Friend B. Farmers in The Future C. The Agricultural Revolution D. Computers and Robots

B

You can’t buy happiness but it looks like you can at least inherit (遗传) it, British and Australian researchers said on Thursday.

A study of nearly 1000 pairs of identical and non-identical twins found genes control half the personality traits（特性）that make people happy while factors such as relationships, health and careers are responsible for the rest of our well-being.

“We found that around half the differences in happiness were genetic,” said Tim Bates, a researcher at the University of Edinburgh who led the study. “It is really quite surprising.”

The researchers asked the volunteers – ranging in age from 25 to 75 – a series of questions about their personality, how much they worried and how satisfied they were with their lives.

Because identical twins share the same genes and fraternal twins (异卵双胞胎) do not, the researchers could identify common genes that result in certain personality traits and predispose people to happiness. People who are sociable, active, stable, hardworking and conscientious tend to be happier, the researchers reported in the journal Psychological Science.

“What this study showed was that the identical twins in a family were very similar in personality and in well-being, and by contrast, the fraternal twins were only around half as similar,” Bates said. “That strongly implicates genes.”

The findings are an important piece of the puzzle for researchers trying to better understand depression and what makes different people happy or unhappy, Bates said.

People with positive inherited personality traits may, in effect, also have a reserve of happiness to draw on in stressful times, he said.

“An important implication is that personality traits of being outgoing, calm and reliable provide a resource, we called it ‘affective reserve,’ that drives future happiness” Bates said. 60．Which of the following is NOT true according to the study?

A．Identical twins tend to be happier than fraternal twins. B．About half the differences in happiness can be inherited. C．Relationships, health and careers can affect one’s happiness. D．Genes control half the personality traits affecting one’s happiness.

61．The underlined word “predispose” in paragraph 5 probably means .

A．lead

B．switch

C．force

D．fix

62．The purpose of paragraph 7 is to inform us that .

A．the fraternal twins’ happiness has nothing to do with genes B．the identical twins’ happiness has nothing to do with genes C．the difference between the identical twins and the fraternal twins D．genes play an important part in one’s personality and happiness

63．Bates thinks that .

A．peoples’ happiness is only dependent on some related genes B．happiness reserve consists of positive personality traits C．people ought to reserve more positive personality traits D．people should have their character trained hard

C

No matter how long your life is, you will, at best, be able to read only a few books of all that

Have been written, and he few you do read should include the best. It is to be expected that the selections will change over time. Yet there is a surprising uniformity（一致）in the lists which represent the best choices of any period.

What are the signs by which we may recognize a great book? The four I will mention may not be all there are, but they are the ones I’ve found most useful in explaining my choices over the years.

Great books are probably the most widely read. They are not bet sellers for a year or two. But they are long lasting ones. Gone With the Wind has had relatively few readers compared to the plays of Shakespeare or Don Quixote. It would be reasonable to estimate that Homer Iliad（《伊利亚特》）has been read by at least 25,000,000 people in the last 3000 years.

Great books are popular, not pedantic（书生气的）.They are not written by specialists about specialties for specialists. Whether they are philosophy or science, or history or poetry, they treat of human, not academic problems. They are written for men, not professors. To read a textbook for advanced students, you have to read an elementary textbook first. But the great books can be considered elementary in the sense that they treat the elements of any subject matter. They are not related to one another as a series of textbooks, graded in difficulty or in the technicality of the problems with which they deal.

Great books are always contemporary, the most readable and instructive.

Great books deal with the persistently unsolved problems of human life. There are genuine mysteries in the world that mark the limits of human knowing and thinking. Great minds acknowledge mysteries honestly. Wisdom ins strengthened, not destroyed, by understanding its limitations. ．Which is NOT the standard in the following when evaluating a great book?

A．Although not a best seller, it must be the most widely read. B．It can be read without much relevant knowledge. C．Great books are never out of date. D．Great books will not disappoint you.

65．According to the author, Gone With the Wind is .

A．sure to enjoy a large number of readers in the long run B．disliked by readers who like Shakespeare C．not a great book because of the few readers D．read more often than Don Quixote

66．After reading the passage, we can infer that .

A．different periods have different lists of great books because there are many books for people to choose from B．if you don’t read an elementary textbook, you may have difficulty in understanding in understanding

an advanced one

C．Homer Iliad must be a best seller when it came out

D．great books often deal with unsolved problems of human life for the writers have confidence in settling

them

67．The best title for this passage is .

A．Great Books in Your Life C．How to Find a Great Book

D

For the most part, schools are designed to produce people who fit into society, not people who set out to change it. However, schools, particularly universities, may not only spread culture; they may add to the cultural heritage (遗产). Today American society places a good deal of emphasis on the development of new knowledge, especially in the physical and biological sciences, medicine, and engineering. In recent years, the nation’s leading universities have increasingly become research centres.

An emphasis on research has led universities to judge professors not by abilities as teachers, but as researchers. Promotions, salary increases, and other benefits have long been dependent on research and

B．Great Books in Your Specialty D．What Is a Great Book

publication (出版物). However, the most important is no longer publishing. To be successful these days, professors have to bring in money provided by government and private industry. Critics claim that academic success is most likely to come to those who have learned to “ignore” their teaching duties to pursue research activities. Defenders say that even when students themselves are not involved in research projects they benefit from such an emphasis on research.

Major research universities like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have also cooperated with industrial companies to develop technology and products with commercial potential. With university-industry ties continuing to grow, debate has increased about the consequences for basic science, academic openness, the control of information, the direction of research, and the influence on students.

68. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT emphasized by today’s American society? A. Physical science. B. Biological sciences. C. Engineering. D. Computer science. 69. Supporters of the present emphasis on research argue that ______. A. it involves more students in it B. it does good to students anyway C. it has a direct good effect on teaching D. it earns a lot of money for a university

70. The author seems to be _______ the move of emphasis to research. A. totally against B. sorry to see C. in favor of D. neutral (中立) about

Dear Mrs. Winthorp,

So my first week at college is over! No lectures this morning so I think I’d email you and let you know what things are going.

One possible version：

Nowadays , it is a common phenomenon that more and more high school students open their own blogs on the Internet. For one thing, it can provide a colorful platform to showcase their talent, and it is a way to release their pressure, and all this makes it more and more popular with high school students. But many parents and teachers hold the different view, they think that managing one’s blog will take a lot of time and energy, while this should be used to study which is their main responsibility.

In my opinion, I do approve of this activity. Nowadays the Internet is playing an important and essential role in our life that we can’t ignore its influence. Therefore as high school students of the so-called information age, we need to learn and make the most of this useful tool to communicate and display ourselves. More importantly, opening and organizing an eye catching blog needs various abilities such as writing ,designing, being skillful at computer and so on. Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful blog. As a consequence, we improve ourselves during the procedures of organizing our blogs.

Blog itself is of little harm. It is your attitude towards it that matters. We should take the advantages and avoid some bad effects
