A
When I was younger, bedtime was always my favorite part of the day. Wearing soft pajamas and with Ian, my stuffed monkey, in my arms, I felt no pressure at all.
I named Ian after my uncle when I compared Ian’s long arms and legs to his. One night I ran up to Uncle Ian at a family party and told him I had named my monkey after him. His eyebrows wrinkled in confusion, then a chuckle（哈哈笑）escaped his lips. I guess he didn’t understand how important it was to me.
Even if Uncle Ian didn’t think my monkey was special, I certainly did. I dressed him in a white baby nightgown. My mother thought that Ian was the best-dressed stuffed animal in the world. Yes, he was certainly a fashionable creature. The strong cologne（科隆香水）I used on him years ago makes him still smell “pretty”.
For a long time, Ian went everywhere with me. He was my best friend, and I told him everything. But when I turned twelve, I realized I was too old for stuffed animals. I thought people would think I was babyish, so I put him in the cupboard with the rest of my teddy bears and dolls. I begged him to understand why I was doing this, but at the same time I longed to talk to him again.
It took me several years to realize that it was OK to miss Ian. I know now that maturity（成熟）doesn’t only mean growing up and taking on more responsibility. It also means holding on to your childhood and acting young sometimes.
Ian has been with me since I was six years old holding him in my arms connects me to my past and my present as I continue to grow and understand myself.

57．The writer loved Monkey Ian deeply because __________.
A．he could understand her
B．he was a fashionable monkey
C．he could talk with her
D．he was her most honest listener
58．We can learn from the text that the writer believes ________.
A．keeping stuffed animals is babyish
B．maturity doesn’t mean growing up and taking on more responsibility
C．one should keep to his childhood and act young sometimes even when he has grown up
D．human beings should be kind to animals
59．We can infer from the text that _________.
A．the writer is still a teenager
B．the writer is now a middle-aged woman
C．Monkey Ian got angry for being left alone
D．Uncle Ian has a monkey-like face

“The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium（千年）, was made up of three parts――“The Fellowship of the Ring”, “Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative materwork.
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892. His parents died when he was a child. Living in England with his aunt, Tolkien and his cousins made up play languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien’s becoming skilled in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.
After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien served in World War I. In 1917, while recovering from trench fever, he began composing the mythology for The Rings. As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which included several writers. The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkien’s imaginative work “The Hobbit”.
Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural（鄉(xiāng)村的）class. Hobbits live in hillside holes. One of them, Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves（侏儒）. On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.
One of Tolkien’s students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft（草稿）. The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge for a children’s book would be his ten-year-old son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting, and “The Hobbit” was published in 1937.
It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation. Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced “The Lord of the Rings”, a series of books so creative that they hold readers―new and old ―after their publication.
60．What can we learn from the text?
A． “The Lord of the Rings” didn’t sell well in the last millennium.
B．People know better about Tolkien himself than about his works.
C．Tolkien was quite familiar with Old English.
D．Tolkien knew very well about different kinds of local languages in Africa.
61．What can we learn about “Hobbit” that Tolkien created in his works?
A．Hobbit was a race living in English downtown areas.
B．Hobbit was a local people who were very tall and strong.
C．Hobbit was a social group of people who lived in old castles.
D．Hobbit was a group of people who were mostly dwarves.
62．Which of the following helped most in making “The Hobbit” published?
A．One of Tolkien’s students.B．Stanley Unwin’s son.
C．Allen & Unwin.D．Bilbo Baggins.
63．What is mainly discussed in the text?
A． “The Lord of the Rings” and its writer.
B．A completely new masterwork in the new millennium.
C．a(chǎn) famous professor at Oxford University.
D．The power of the magic ring.
64．Which of the following shows the right order of Mr J.R.R.Tolkien’s life experience?
a．He had his “The Hobbit” published.
b．He became a member of the lnklings. c．He served in World WarⅠ
d．He became an undergraduate at Oxford.
e．His work “The Lord of the Rings” came to the world.
f．He moved to England to live with his aunt.

American researchers say drinking tea may help strengthen the body’s defense system against infection（感染）. Doctors at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, did the study. The team studied a chemical found in black, green, oolong and pekoe tea. This chemical is an amino acid（氨基酸）called L-theanine. The scientists say it may increase the strength of gamma delta T cells. That’s the letter T, not the drink. Gamma delta T cells are part of the body’s defenses.
First, the researchers mixed some of these cells with antigens（抗原）found in the amino acid. Antigens help the body react to infection. Then the scientists added some bacteria（細(xì)菌）. Within twenty-four hours, the cells produced a lot of interferon, a substance that fights infection. Cells not mixed with the antigens did not produce interferon.
In the second part of the study, eleven people drank five to six cups of black tea every day. Ten other people drank the same amount of instant coffee. That is dried coffee mixed with hot water.
Two weeks later, and again two weeks after that, the researchers tested the blood of all twenty-one people. They also looked at what happened when they added bacteria to the blood cells. They found that the tea drinkers produced five times more interferon after they started drinking tea. The coffee drinkers did not produce interferon.
Doctor Jack Bukowski led the study. He says the antigens added to the gamma delta T cells were responsible for the increased reaction to the bacteria. He says the study also showed that the cells were able to remember the bacteria and fight them again the next time.
Earlier research already has found that tea can help prevent heart disease and cancer. Doctor Bukowski says the new study must be repeated with more people. If the findings prove to be true, he says, then tea drinking might also help protect against bacterial infections. He says the amino acid L-theanine could be removed from tea and used as a drug to strengthen the body’s defenses.
68．We may know from the text that ________ can be found in different kinds of tea.
A．Gamma delta T cells B．L-theanine
C．interferonD．bacteria
69．Tea may help strengthen the body’s defense system because it helps ________.
A．the body to produce more interferon
B．the body to produce more gamma delta T cells
C．to add some bacteria to the blood cells
D．to mix antigens with some of the cells in the body
70．According to Dr Bukowski, ________.
A．the findings of the study have already proved to be true
B．he has taken some amino acid L-theanine from tea and made a drug with it
C．further study is needed to prove the findings true
D．he is not sure whether tea can help prevent heart disease and cancer
71．What would be the best title for this Text?
A．Tea Is Better Than Coffee.
B．Tea May Help Fight Infection
C．Tea Can Help Prevent Cancer.
D．Our Body Needs Tea

Maybe you never opened that account, but someone else did ――someone who used your name and personal information to commit fraud（造假）. When an imposter uses your name, your credit card number, or some other piece of your personal information for their own purpose ?in short, when someone takes your personal information without your knowledge ?it’s a crime, pure and simple.
The biggest problem is that you may not know your identity（身份）has been stolen until you notice that something’s wrong: you may get bills for a credit card account you never opened, your credit report may include debts you never knew you had, a billing cycle may pass without your receiving a statement, or you may see charges on your bills that you didn’t sign for, and even don’t know anything about.
If someone has stolen your identity, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) suggests that you take three actions immediately.
First, contact the fraud departments of each of the three major credit offices. Tell them to flag your file with a fraud alert（警告）including a statement that creditors should get your permission before opening any new accounts in your name.
Then, ask the credit offices for copies of your credit reports. Credit offices must give you a free copy of your report if it is not correct because of fraud. Review your reports carefully to make sure no additional fraudulent accounts have been opened in your name or unauthorized（侵權(quán)的）changes made to your present accounts. In a few months, order new copies of your reports to check your corrections and changes, and to make sure no new fraudulent activity has occurred.
72．What’s the subject discussed in the text?
A. What you should do if your credit card is stolen.
B．What you should do if your identity is stolen.
C. What an imposter always does to make money.
D．What the Federal Trade Commission is about.
73．What should you do first when you find your identity is stolen?
A．Inform creditors not to open any new accounts in your name without your permission.
B．Ask for copies of your credit reports and make sure no other frauds have been made.
C．Keep ordering new copies to check what you have already changed and corrected.
D．Always lock your ID card in your cupboard in case it should be stolen.
74．What is the most difficult thing for people to deal with identity frauds?
A．No measures can work on the billing cycle.
B．There is no strict law for this kind of behaviors.
C．It might be a long time before you realize that.
D．The FTC does nothing except for three suggestions.
75．Which is the least possible if a fraud has happened to you?
A．You may have debts in your credit card.
B．You may find charges on your bills unauthorized.
C．A new credit card may be opened in your name.
D．The fraud departments can find out the imposter right away.

36. A選項B和C與下一句中 papers在數(shù)上不一致，選項 D不合文意。根據(jù)文意及 papers 、test 兩詞的提示可決定選A，表示一次算數(shù)測驗。?
37.C that從句所表示的情況只有在評卷時才會發(fā)現(xiàn)，故選C. paper作為可數(shù)名詞可表示“試卷”，mark the papers意為“評卷”， answer the papers 意為“答卷”，complete the papers意為“答完試卷”,examine與the papers不能搭配。?
38.B 下一句末尾的it指的就是本題要填的詞，而這個詞所表示的事情顯然與這十二位男生有關(guān)。從上文已知道這十二位男生在考試中所出的錯誤完全一樣，那么這是件什么性質(zhì)的事情呢？顯然是“作弊行為”，根據(jù)詞義，應(yīng)選B。本句的意思是：“考試中的作弊確實沒有什么新招。”?
39.A 正因為Mrs O’Neill了解學(xué)生一般怎樣在考試中作弊的，所以她對此什么話也沒說。根據(jù)文意及下一句中的only可以決定本題應(yīng)用否定形式。這里強調(diào)的是一個事實而不是一個意愿，故選A，而不選D。?
40.C 下一段是包括作者在內(nèi)的十二位同學(xué)課后留下來的情況，故選C。文中沒有apologize
的內(nèi)容，故應(yīng)排除D。?
41.A 第二分句的either一般用于否定一個情況后又否定一個情況的場合，因此，本題必須用否定詞。四個選項中只有A適合。?
42.D 首先排除B、C兩項。表示“原諒”時excuse常與me連用，excuse me表示“對不起”、“請原諒”，作為客套語，常用于要走開、詢問、插話、表示異議等場合。表示這一意思時，excuse通常不用與句中與其他人稱代詞連用，故排除A。scold符合句意，故選D，句意是：“既沒問問題，也沒有訓(xùn)斥”。?
43.A Thomas Macaulay的名言已出現(xiàn)在本文的開頭,故選A。above作定語是可位于被修飾名詞的前面，也可位于后，The above words = the words above意為“以上的話”。?
44.D A、B、C三項中的動詞都不能使麥考萊的話進入練習(xí)本，只有copy這一動作得以完成，
故選D。指語言時，repeat通常指口頭重復(fù)。麥考萊這句名言的意思是：“衡量一個人的真
正為人，要看他在知道永遠(yuǎn)不會被人發(fā)現(xiàn)的情況下做些什么�！�?
45.B 下文所述內(nèi)容主要是作者學(xué)習(xí)了麥考萊這句名言以后的感受及對他以后性格的影響，
但至于另十一位同學(xué)的感受，作者不了解，故選B。?
46．C 指自己日后受益匪淺的“教訓(xùn)”，incident與句子主語it一致，指這件事，但incident一詞沒有反映出下文作者所敘述的思想變化，故應(yīng)排除。A、D兩項與文意不符。47．B 雖然時隔三十年，時間那么長久，但麥考萊的名言對于作者來說仍然是記憶猶新，是生活準(zhǔn)繩，選B。本題用still與前面的Thirty years構(gòu)成時間上的對比。?
48．A 這里是指衡量自己的一種方法，故選A。?
49．B 根據(jù)下一句But all of us，這里應(yīng)用否定詞，故排除A、C。我們當(dāng)中總要有人作出象國家是否參加戰(zhàn)爭、軍隊是否去打仗這樣的重大決定，但做出這樣重大決定的人畢竟為數(shù)不多，故排除D而選B。?
50.C 這樣的決定當(dāng)然是重大決定，故選C。?
51．D call on sb. to do sth.表示“要求某人做某事”。call sb. out意為“把某人叫出去”，call sb. up意為“給某人打電話”，兩者雖然能接不定式，但不符合語境。call forsb.雖也有“要求某人”之意，但不能接不定式。?
52．A 下一問句已有提示。A項表示“應(yīng)該或不應(yīng)該做某事”。?
53．A change在這里作“零錢”解。把這一題和余下一題結(jié)合起來理解，不難選出extra與returned這兩詞相符答案，本題選A。?
54．D 多余的找頭應(yīng)該歸還，故選D。?
55．B 根據(jù)下一句中的主語，這里應(yīng)選B。意思是 ：“這樣的事只有你知道”。這里的you是泛指，指任何人。 ?

Dear Li Xiaolei,
I am sorry you have had so much trouble to stop smoking ,but I am glad you are still trying. I hope the tips below will help you.
First of all, don’t give up. The more often you try the more likely you are to eventually succeed.
When you feel irritable, don’t automatically reach for a cigarette to make you feel better. Take a few moments to relax. Start by breathing deeply and lifting your arms out to the side and over your head.
It is a good idea to drink lots of water and eat lots of fruit when you are quitting smoking. This will help to remove the nicotine from your body faster and you won’t feel so sick.
It is normal to feel a little stressed when you first give up smoking, but try to remember that it will only last a few days and then you will begin to feel much better.
Keep up the good work, Li Xiaolei ,and remind yourself how much healthier you will be when you finally quit.
Good luck and best wishes,
Sun Gao
