(一)
Long long ago people made fires from lightning(闪电) 。 But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldn ’t start it again if there was no lightning. Later , they found out hitting two piece of stone together could make a spark (火花). The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make the fire again if it went out. Them people also learned to make a fire by rubbing. They made a hole on a big piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.
As years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from sun. they held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.
About two centuries ago, people began to make matches (火柴). Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fire. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fires. One of them is to use an electric fire starter . Of course an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches. But it is more useful.

(二)
As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for ahealthy mind and body.
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "flight or fight" and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we
meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response.
It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we can't remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.
6.People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because _____.
A.they regard working as their greatest enjoyment
B.they believe that work is superior to relaxation

D. they are becoming busier with their work than ever before

A.We can find quite a few ways to avoid stress.
B.Stress is always harmful to people's health
C.It's easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.
D. Different people can bear different amount of stress.
9.In the last sentence of the passage, "do so" refers to _____.
A."expose ourselves to stress"
B."find ways to deal with stress"
C."remove stress from our lives"
D."establish links between diseases and stress"
10. According to the author , the right attitude toward stress is _____.
A. to avoid it
B. to try to deal with it
C. to regard it as a vital motivation
D. to find some relaxation

(三)
What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career . A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work .So it is important to do well at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not
all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery(烹饪术)and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer , think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle(运用)tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work..
11. Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph?
A. The importance of doing well at school.
B. Using school performance to help to choose a career .
C. The importance of being good at all subjects.
D. The indirect value of schoolwork.
12. The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably _____.
A. a waste of time that could have been spent on study
B. useful for his future work
C. a good way to earn extra money
D. a good way to find out his weak points
13. According to the passage, if a student ’ s school record is not good, he ____.
A. will be a complete failure in his future work
B. will not be able to find a suitable job
C. will regret not having worked harder at school
D. may do well in his future work
14. Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for job hunting?
A. Mathematics.
B. English.

15. The whole passage centers on ____.
A. choosing a career according to what one is skilled in

(四)
American society is not nap (午睡)-friendly. In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, “There ’s even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep ”. Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work. To quote a proverb:“Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness eleven.”
Wrong. The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them.“We have to totally change our attitude toward napping, ” says Dr . William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research.
Last year a national commission led by Dement identified an “American sleep debt ” which one member said was as important as the national debt. The commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness: people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House. According to recent reports, President Clinton is trying to take a ha1f-hour snooze (瞌睡) every afternoon.
About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have “a mid afternoon quiet phase, ” also called “ a secondary sleep gate.” Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap.
We Superstars of Snooze don't nap to replace lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift.Rather , we “ snack ” on sleep, whenever , wherever and at whatever time we feel like it. I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and on boats; on floors and beds; and in libraries, offices and museums 16. It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is
A. unreasonable
B. criminal
C. harmful
D. costly
17. The research done by the Dement Commission shows that Americans ________
A. don't like to take naps
B. are terribly worried about their national debt
C. sleep less than is good for them
D. have caused many industrial and traffic accidents
18. The purpose of this article is to
A. warn us of the wickedness of napping
B. explain the danger of sleepiness
C. discuss the side effects of napping
D. convince the reader of the necessity of napping
19. The underlined phrase “American sleep debt ” in Para.3 is the result of
A. the traditional misconception the Americans have about sleep
B. the new sleep policy of the Clinton Administration
C. the rapid development of American industry
D. the Americans' worry about the danger of sleepiness
20. The second sentence of the last paragraph tells us that it is
A. preferable to have a sound sleep before a night shift
B. good practice to eat something light before we go to bed
C. essential to make up for cost sleep
D. natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for it
答案及解析
16.【答案】A【解析】推断题。由第一段,美国人不喜欢午睡,事实上,宾夕法尼亚大学医学院睡眠专家 David Dinges说,“甚至有一个禁令不允许我们需要睡眠。在工作的时候,没有人愿意被发现在打瞌睡或在睡觉。引用一个谚
语:有的人睡5 个小时,正常情况需7 个小时,懒惰者需9 个小时,堕落者需11个小时。由此可知,美国人认为过多的失眠是不合理的。并不是罪恶的,有害的,昂贵的。故答案为 A
17.【答案】 C【解析】推断题。美国人都普遍缺乏睡眠,他们的睡眠欠缺和国债一样不可小觑。可见,美国认为睡眠少对他们有益,这样可以做更多的事情。故答案为 C
18.【答案】 D【解析】主旨题。由第二段 The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them. We have to totally change our attitude toward napping 。工作时不睡着的方法是当你困的时候就小睡一下,我们必须完全改变我们对于小睡的态度。可知,本文的意图是使读者认识到小睡的必要性。故答案为D
19.【答案】 A【解析】细节题。由第一段可知,美国人不重视午睡,没有人想在工作时被发现在打盹或睡着了,还有一句俗语来抨击午睡,可见是传统观念在误导着他们。故选 A
20.【答案】 D【解析】推断题。由最后一段,睡觉是我们的一部分,无论何时,何地,我自己在公交车里,汽车,飞机,船上,在床上,图书馆,办公室,博物馆里都可以小睡。可知,本段是要告诉我们不论何时,当我们需要休息的时候,就应该小睡一会。故答案为 D
第二部分:词语用法和短语结构(共40题,20分考试时间为25分钟)
21. Having no money but _______to know, he simply said he would go without dinner .
A. not to want anyone
B. to want no one
C. wanted no one
D. not wanting anyone
【答案】 D 【解析】 but 前后句子要保持一致,故选 D 项。
22. Would you please ________ the radio a little? I'm doing my home work.
A. turn down B. turning down C. turn off D. turning off
【答案】 A【解析】因后有 a little 表程度,所以只能是“调低”.
23. Dream of the Red Chamber is _____ worth _____ because we can learn a lot about the noble families in the feudal society.
A. very; reading B. well; to be read C. well; reading D. very; to be read
【答案】 C【解析】考查固定结构。 Sth be well worth doing 很值得做某事;用 well 修饰 worth, 表示很,十分;
24. It ’s no use _______ so much money on clothes .
A. spend B. spent C. spending D. being spent
答案 C 解析 it ’s no use doing sth .为固定结构 ,意为“……是没有用的”。
25. I have two boys but ________ of them likes sweets .
A. both B. Neither C. either D. none
答案 B 解析句意:我有两个男孩,可是他们都不喜欢糖果。因此四个选项中,只有 neither 和 none 有可能是答案。
而 none 用来表示三个或三个以上的人或物,而两个人或物时通常用 neither 。
26.All the passengers ____ in the accident were sent to the nearby hospital in no time.
A.to find injured B .finding injured
C.to be found injured D . found injured
答案 D 解析。该题考查语法:非谓语。该句意为:所有事故中受伤的乘客都被及时送往附近的医院。
首先要分析句子结构,该句主语是 all the passengers ,谓语是 were sent to ,空白处所要填的词是用来修饰主语的。主语 all the passengers 和选项中的 findinjured 这一动词之间的关系为被动——事故中的乘客被发现受伤,
所以在表示被动语态的 C 和 D 中选;从表示过去时态的谓语 were sent to 又可以发现该句描述的是过去发生的事,而 C 中的 to 是一个表示将来的动词不定式符号,所以选 D。D 中的 found 是 find 的过去分词,后置做定语,相当
于一个从句 that/who have been found injured 。
27.The big fire lasted as long as 24 hours ____ it was brought under control.
A.after B .before C .since D .while
答案 B 解析。该题考查语法:时间状语从句。该句意为:大火在得到控制前持续了整整24个小时。
空白处前后皆为主谓完整的句子,由此可见空白处所需的为一个连词,而四个备选项皆可做连词,只不过语义以及主从时态略有区别。 after 在……之后, before 在……之前, since 自从……,while 相当于 when ,当……。since 引导
的时间状语从句,一般情况下,从句谓语动词用一般过去时,而主句的谓语动词用现在完成时,与该题时态不符,所以排除,其余三个选项依其语义来看, before 最符合
28.In this workshop, the output of July was three times ____ of January.
A.that B .this C.one D.it
答案 A 解析。该题考查语法:英文倍数的表达方法之一: the+计量名词+of+A+be+倍数+that+of+B 。该句意为:
这间工厂七月份的产量是一月份的三倍。
29.Seeing her father come back, ____.
A.tears ran down her cheeks B .her tears ran out
C.she burst into tears D .tears burst into her
答案 C 解析。该题考查语法:非谓语动词作状语。该句意为:看见她爸爸回来了,她眼泪夺眶而出。
非谓语作状语时,主语必须是非谓语的逻辑主语,句首的现在分词 seeing 其真正的主语是 she ,只有 C 的主语是 she而其他选项的逻辑主语都是 tears ,所以选 C。
30.____ singer and ____ dancer is also good at drawing.
A.The; a B .The; the C .A; a D .The;/
答案 D 解析。该题考查语法:冠词的省略。该句意为:这个歌手兼舞者也擅长画画。
该句谓语动词为 is,由此可知主语应该为单数,所以 singer 和 dancer 应该是一个人所同时具备的两种身份而不是两个人。当两个并列名词指的是同一个人时,后一名词前的不定冠词通常省略,所以选 D。
31. It's such a difficult problem ________no one can work it out.
A. as B. that C. so D.
答案 B 解析本题主要考查 such…that 从句这个结构,本句的意思是:这是一个如此难的问题,以致于没有人能够解决它。 such 后面跟的中心词必须是名词(problem),在这里要和 so…that 从句区分一下。 so 后面要加形容词或者副词。其他选项均不能搭配。
32. I'd rather you ________there next week.
A. went B. go C. should have gone D. had gone
答案 A 解析 would rather 后面接句子时往往用虚拟语气,谓语的时态用一般过去时的形式。故选 A
33.By the end of this term, we___________3,000 English words in all.
A will learn B. will have learned C. have learned D. had learned
答案 B 解析本题主要考查将来完成时,根据句意:到这个学期结束时,我们已经总共学习了3000个英语单词。可知
是说明将来的情况,故用将来完成时,应该选 B。A 选项是将来时, C 选项是现在完成时,同样地,如果改成 by the end of last term, 本题就选 D 项,表示截止到过去某个时间点,产生的影响和结果。
34._______ is known to all, the earth moves around the sun once a year .
A That B. As C. What D. It
答案 B 解析本题考查的是 as 引导的非限制性定语从句, as 指代后面的整个句子,句意为:正如大家所知道的,地球一年绕太阳转一圈。这种表达方式已经相对固定了如果此处填 it , 这句话应该这样表达: It is known to all that the earth moves around the sun once a year . that the earth moves around the sun once a year 是主语从句
后置, it 只是个形式主语。选项 that 不能引导非限制性定语从句, what 不能引导定语从句。
35.______I admit that she has shortcomings. I still like her .
A. When B. As C. While D. Once
答案 C 解析本题主要考查连词,也就是主从复合句中主句和从句之间的逻辑关系,根据句意:我承认她有缺点,但我依然喜欢她。可知此处是转折的关系, when 当……时候; as 既可以表示当……时候,也可以表示原因; once 一旦表示条件; while 可以表示转折,故选 C.
36. To our great__________ , Tom's illness proved not to be as serious as we had feared.
A. anxiety B. relief C. view D. judgment
答案 D 解析本题主要考查名词的辨析 , anxiety 焦虑, relief 安慰, view 观点, judgment 判断。根据句意:使我们感到安慰的是汤姆的病没有像我们的担心的那样严重。

A. invited B. supposed C encouraged D. hoped

38. Can you ___________the differences between the two pictures?

答案 B 解析。本题考查一般过去时态。句意:当乔治还是一个上小学的小男孩时,他总是步行去学校。由于表示的是过去发生的事情,所以只能选 went 。

【范文】
Is Failure a Bad Thing
Failure is quite a common thing in our life. As long as we do things we will surely encounter difficulties. Of course we should try our best to get over them, but in many cases, it is not so easy, or even impossible. Then how should we face failure?
Different people take different attitudes towards failure. When faced with failure, some people become frustrated and lose their self-confidence. They refuse to make any further efforts. These people will probably never amount to anything in life. Some people just don't fear failure. They firmly believe that failure is the mother of success. As a result, not only can failure stop them, but they draw useful lessons from it and try even harder . Such people are sure to succeed someday.
As for me, I don't think failure is a bad thing. Failure can never discourage me but only enrich my experience and steel my will. With this positive attitude in mind, I will try hard in anything I'm determined to accomplish and attain success in the end.
【评语】
本文按题目所给纲要分为三段。首段简要地论述了失败是每个人都会遇到的,末句用了一句设问,起到了承上启下的作用。第二段谈到了人们对失败的两种典型态度,先写错误观点进行铺垫,而后再写正确观点。这种安排自然突出了作者所赞同的态度,同时为引出第三段做好的了准备。末段作者则阐明了自己的观点。全文层次清楚,段落间衔接紧密而自然,主题突出,语言流畅,用词准确。
