[解析] Most volcanoes are quiet. They rest (S1) peacefully for hundreds of years. No one pays much attention .to them. Mount St. Helens was one of these volcanoes. Until 1980, it was a beautiful (S2) recreation area. Its last eruption had been 123 years ago. No one was worried about another one. Then, in March 1980, Mount St. Helens began to make noises. At first, there were tremors. Then, small eruptions (S3) occurred. Some residents left immediately. Others felt there was no danger. But on the morning of May 18, 1980, the mountain (S4) blew its top. With the power of twenty-five (S5) atomic bombs, Mount St. Helens exploded. Clouds of dust and ash rose more than twelve miles into the sky. Roeks and mud crashed down on the (S6) slopes. Unfortunately, many people were still living, camping, or working in the area. Over forty people lost their lives. Others were (S7) rescued. Robert Baker was (S8) fishing with his family when the explosion occurred. He reported that the morning of May 18 was strange. No birds were singing. The air was still. Then, he saw a large black cloud coming down towards them. In minutes, day turned into night. (S9) He called his family to their van and they started on the slow dark ride away from the mountain. All the time, hot ash was raining on them. But other people were not so lucky. David Johnston, (S10) a volcano expert, was standing near the summit of the mountain. At 8:31 a.m., he radioed, "This is it!" He was never heard again. Mount St. Helens is peaceful now. But its slopes are empty. It will be many years before fish, plants, and trees will again live on the mountain.
Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage One Archaeology has long been an accepted tool for studying prehistoric cultures. Relatively recently the same techniques have been systematically applied to studies of more immediate past. This has been called "historical archaeology", a term that is used in the United States to refer to any archaeological investigation into North American sites that postdate the arrival of Europeans. Back in the 1930s and 1940s, when restoration was popular, historical archeology was primarily a tool of architectural reconstruction. The role of archaeologists was to find the foundations of historic buildings and then take back seat to architects. The mania (狂热) for reconstruction had largely subsided by the 1950s and 1960s. Most people entering historical archaeology during this period came out of university anthropology departments where they had studied prehistoric cultures. They were, by training, social scientists, not historians, and their work tended to reflect this bias. The questions they framed and the techniques they used were designed to help them understand, as scientists, how people behaved. But because they were treading on historical ground for which there was often extensive written documentation and because their own knowledge of these periods was usually limited, their contributions to American history remained circumscribed(限制). Their reports, highly technical and sometimes poorly written, went unread. More recently, professional archaeologists have taken over. These researchers have sought to demonstrate that their work can be a valuable tool not only of science but also of history, providing fresh insights into the daily lives of ordinary people whose existences might not otherwise be so well documented. This newer emphasis on archaeology as social history has shown great promise, and indeed work done in this area has led to a reinterpretation of the United States' past. In Kingston, New York, for example, evidence has been uncovered that indicates that English goods were being smuggled into that city at a time when the Dutch supposedly controlled trading in the area. And in Sacramento an excavation (出土文物) at the site of a fashionable nineteenth-century hotel revealed that garbage had been stashed (隐藏) in the building's basement despite sanitation laws to the contrary.
1. What is the main topic of the passage?
A.How the purpose and the methods of historical archaeology have changed.
B.How archaeology has been applied to studies of prehistoric cultures.
C.The attitude of professional archaeologists held toward historical archaeology.
D.The contributions made to historical archaeology.
A B C D
A
主旨大意题。文章第一段就指出，考古学过去一直被人们认为是一种研究史前文化的工具，最近这门学科也用来系统地研究距离我们更近的历史阶段了，被赋予了一个新的名称叫“历史考古学”，由此判断文章着重讲述的是与历史考古学相关的内容，故而B错；文章的第四段中才提到professional archaeologists，那么全文也不可能主要讨论专业考古学家对历史考古学所持有的态度，故而C也不对；至于历史考古学所做的贡献只在文中一笔带过，更不可能是本文讨论的重点，所以D也不正确；而纵观全文，作者自始至终按照时间顺序从第二段的back in the 1930s and 1940s到第三段的by the 1950s and 1960s再到第四段的more recendy，讲述了历史考古学在不同时期目的和方式的变化，所以A正确。
2. According to the passage, what is a relatively new focus in archaeology?
A.Studying prehistoric cultures.
B.Investigating ancient sites in what is now the United States.
C.Comparing the culture of North America to that of Europe.
D.Studying the recent past.
A B C D
D
细节推理题。文章第一段的第一句就指出…archaeology has long been an accepted tool for studying prehistorie cultures... relatively recently the same techniques have been systematically applied to studies of more immediate past... 考古学过去一直被人们认为是一种研究史前文化的工具，最近这门学科也用来系统地研究距离我们更近的历史阶段了，由此可以推出考古学近期研究的新焦点应是近代史，故而D为正确答案。
3. According to the passage, when had historical archaeologists been trained as anthropologists?
A.Before the 1930s.
B.During the 1930s and 1940s.
C.During the 1950s and 1960s.
D.After the 1960s.
A B C D
C
细节推理题。文章第三段指出…the mania for reconstruction had largely subsided by the 1950s and 1960s... most people entering historical archaeology during this period came out Of university anthropology departments where they had studied prehistoric cultures...，由此可见C为正确选项。
4. In the third paragraph, the author implies the questions and techniques of history and those of social science are
A.of equal value in studying prehistoric cultures
B.quite different from each other
C.all aiming to understand people's behavior
D.all highly technical and poorly written
A B C D
B
事实细节题。文章第三段指... they were，by training，social scientists，not historians，and their work tended to reflect this bias...，暗含这一时期研究历史考古学的人往往都是学社会科学出身的，而不是专门学习历史专业的；本段后面又提到…but because they were treading on historical ground for which there was often extensive written documentation and because their own knowledge of these periods was usually limited，their contributions to American history remained circumscribed...，此句暗含由于这一时期研究历史考古学的人对真正的历史知识的了解十分匮乏，他们就不可能从历史学的角度提出问题或是使用历史学研究常用的方法，而是惯用社会科学研究的方法，这样导致了他们对于美国历史研究的贡献十分有限，由此可推断出社会科学的研究方法是不适用于历史学的研究的，所以两者存在很大差别，故而B为正确答案。
5. The equivalent of the "supposedly" in the last paragraph is______.
Passage Two During the next several weeks I went completely to the wolves. I took a tiny tent and set it up on the shore of bay. The big telescope was set up in the mouth of the tent in such a way that I could observe the wolves by day or night. Quite by accident I had pitched my tent within ten yards of one of the major paths used by the wolves. Shortly after I had taken up residence, one of the wolves came back and discovered me and my tent, but he did not stop or hesitate in his pace. Later, one or more wolves used the track past my tent and never did they show the slightest interest in me. I felt uncomfortable at being so totally ignored. The next day I noticed a male wolf make boundary markers by passing water on the rounds of his family lands. Once I had become aware of the strong feeling of property rights which existed among the wolves, I decided to use this knowledge to make them at least recognize my existence. One evening, after they had gone off for their regular nightly hunt, I staked out a property claim of my own, including a long section of the wolves' path. In order to ensure that my claim would not be overlooked, I made a property mark on stones, dumps of moss, and patches of vegetation with a lot of tea. Before the hunters came back, task was done, and I retired, somewhat exhausted, to observe results. A few minutes later the leading male appeared. As usual he did not bother to glance at the tent, but when he reached the point where my property line intersected the trail, he stopped as abruptly as if he had run into an invisible wall. Cautiously he extended his nose and sniffed at one of my marked bushes. After a minute of hesitation he backed away a few yards and sat down. Then, he looked directly at the tent and at me. His glare seemed to become fiercer as I attempted to stare him down. The situation was becoming intolerable. To break the impasse I turned my back on the wolf. Then briskly, and with an air of decision, he turned his attention away from me and began a systematic tour of the area I had staked out as my own. As he came to each boundary marker he sniffed it once or twice, then carefully placed his mark on the outside of mine.
5. Why did the author stake out an area of his own?
A.Because he thought it better to be stared at than to be ignored.
B.Because he didn't want the wolves to use the track past his tent.
C.Because he wanted the wolves to take notice of his existence.
D.Because be wanted to find out how fierce the wolf’s glare was.
A B C D
C
文章第二段指出I felt uncomfortable at being so totally ignored，由此可看出，作者是想引起狼群的注意并且想要证实自己的假设才想方设法留下标记的，故而正确答案为C。
Passage Three Clothes play a critical role in the conclusions we reach by providing clues to who people are, who they are not, and who they would like to be. They tell us a good deal about the wearer's background, personality, status, mood and social outlook. Since clothes are such an important source of social information, we can use them to manipulate people's impression of us. Our appearance assumes particular significance in the initial phases of interaction that is likely to occur. An elderly middle-class man or woman may be alienated by a young adult who is dressed in an unconventional manner, regardless of the person's education, background, or interests. People tend to agree on what certain types of clothes mean. Adolescent girls can easily agree on the lifestyles of girls who wear certain outfit, including the number of boyfriends they likely have had and whether they smoke or drink. Newscasters, or the announcers who read the news on TV, are considered to be more convincing, honest, and competent when they are dressed conservatively. And college students who view themselves as taking an active role in their interpersonal relationships say they are concerned about the costumes they must wear to play these roles successfully. Moreover, many of us can relate instances in which the clothing we wore changed the way we felt about ourselves and how we acted. Perhaps you have used clothing to gain confidence when you anticipated a stressful situation, such as a job interview, or a court appearance. In the workplace, men have long had well-defined precedents and role models for achieving success. It has been otherwise for women. A good many women in the business world are uncertain about the appropriate mixture of "masculine" and "feminine" attributes they should convey by their professional clothing. The variety of clothing alternatives to women has also been greater than that available for men. Male administrators tend to judge women more favorably for managerial positions when the women display less "feminine" grooming shorter hair, moderate use of make-up, and plain tailored clothing. As one male administrator confessed, "An attractive woman is definitely going to get a longer interview, but she won't get a job."
1. Judging from the third paragraph, we can conclude that the youth tend to hold the view that certain types of outfits can______.
A.help them befriend with the opposite sex
B.help them establish successful interpersonal relationships
C.make them competitive in the job market
D.change people's conservative attitudes toward their ways of life
A B C D
B
细节理解题。文章第三段中指出And college students who view themselves as taking an active role in their interpersonal relationships say they are concerned about the costumes they must wear tO play these roles successfully，而A，C，D在本文中均未提及，由此可判断B为正确答案。
2. According to the passage, the way we dress ______
A.provides cues for people who are picky.
B.points to our likes and dislikes in choosing a career
C.has a direct impact on the way people look at us
4. According to the passage, many working women find themselves caught between two stools because_____.
A.men are usually judged for being competent for management
B.they are hesitant to what extent they should demonstrate their feminine qualities through what they wear to work
C.there is a variety of professional clothes for them to choose
D.women are generally thought to be only good at following fashions
A B C D
B
细节理解题。文章最后—段中指出A good many women in the business world are uncertain about the appmpnate mixture of“masculine”and“feminine”attributes they should convey by their professional cloth-ing，由此可判断很多职业女性之所以感到困惑是因为她们无法正确把握工作着装中应加人多少女性的因素，故而选择B。
Passage Four Did you know that all human beings have a "comfort zone" regulating the distance they stand from someone when they talk? This distance varies in interesting ways among people of different cultures. Greeks, others of the Eastern Mediterranean, and many of those from South America normally stand quite close together when they talk, often moving their faces even closer as they warm up in a conversation. North Americans find this awkward and often back away a few inches. Studies have found that they tend to feel most comfortable at about 12 inches apart. In much of Asia and Africa, there is even more space between two speakers in conversation. This greater space subtly lends an air of dignity and respect. This manner of space is nearly always unconscious, but it is interesting to observe. This difference applies also to the closeness with which people sit together, the extent to which they lean over one another in conversation, how they move as they argue or make an emphatic point. In the United States, for example, people try to keep their bodies apart even in a crowded elevator; in Paris they take it as it comes. Although North Americans have a relatively wide "comfort zone" for talking, they communicate a great deal with their hands—not only with gesture but also with touch. They put a sympathetic hand on a person's shoulder to demonstrate warmth of feeling or an arm around him in sympathy; they nudge a man in the ribs to emphasize a funny joke; or they pat in arm in reassurance. To many people—especially those from Asia or the Moslem countries—such bodily contact is unwelcome, especially if inadvertently (不注意地) done with the left hand. (The left hand carries no special significance in the U.S. Many Americans are simply left-handed and use that hand more.)
1. With regard to bodily distance, North Americans_____.
A.move nearer during conversation
B.are similar to South Americans
C.stand farthest apart
D.feel uncomfortable when too close
A B C D
D
细节理解题。文章第二段第二句告诉我们，North Americans find this awkward and often back away a few inches．“this”指前一句提到的“很近”。然而他们却不是谈话时站得最远的人，更不会像南美人一样，谈得兴起时还会越走越近，故而正确答案应选择D。
2. For Asians, the "comfort zone"_____.
A.measures about 21 inches
B.implies esteem
C.is determined by social customs
D.varies in accordance with social status
A B C D
B
细节推理题。文章第二段倒数第二句告诉我们，This greater space subtly lends an air of dignity and respect，由此可以判断出对于亚洲人来说，这块区域实际代表的是尊严和地位。
3. When Americans tell a joke, they often ______
A.poke people in the ribs
B.pat people on the arm
C.stroke people's hair
D.give people a big hug
A B C D
A
事实细节题。文章第四段第二句提到，they nudge a man in the ribs to emphasize a funny story，由此可推断出A为正确答案。
4. It can be inferred from the passage that in a crowded elevator, a Frenchman ______
A.would be afraid of bodily contact with others
B.would do his best to keep distance from others
C.would make no particular effort to distance himself from the crowd
D.would behave in exactly the same way as an American would
A B C D
C
细节推理题。文章第二段最后一句告诉我们，In the United States，for example，people try to keep their bodies apart even in a crowded elevator；in Paris they take it as it comes，由此可推断出法国人在拥挤的电梯里不会刻意与他人保持距离，而是自然接受，故而选择C。

26. American people ______ fair competition more than any other values so that they speak highly of business instead of government, which is characterized by monopoly.
Part Ⅳ Short Answer Questions Directions: This part consists of a short passage. In this passage, there are altogether 10 mistakes, one in each numbered line. You may have to change a word, add a word or delete a word. Mark out the mistakes and put the corrections in the blank provided. If you change a word, cross it out and write the correct word in the corresponding blank. If you add a word, put an insertion mark (∧) in the right place and write the missing word in the blank. If you delete a word, cross it out and put a slash (/) in the blank. Motorways are, no doubt, the safest roads in the country. Mile for mile, vehicle for vehicle, you are much less likely to be killed or seriously injured than on an ordinary road. On the other hand, if you do have a serious accident on a motorway, fatalities are much more likely to occur than in a comparable accident elsewhere on the roads. Motorways have no sharp bends, no roundabouts or traffic lights and thus speeds are much greater than on other roads. Though the 70 m.p.h, limit is still in force, it is often treated with the contempt that most drivers have for the 30 m.p.h, limit applying in built up areas in Britain. Added to this is the fact that motorway drivers seem to like traveling in convoys with perhaps barely ten meters between each vehicle. The resulting horrific pile-ups (involving may be hundred vehicles) when one vehicle stops for some reason—mechanical failure, driver error and so on— have become all too familiar through pictures in newspapers or on television. How many of these drivers realize that it takes a car about one hundred meters to brake to a stop from 70 m.p.h.? Drivers also seem to think that motorway driving gives them complete immunity from the caprices (多变) of the weather. However wet the road, whatever the visibility in mist or fog, on they plough at ludicrous (滑稽的；荒唐可笑的) speeds oblivious (不注意的，不以为然的) of police warnings or speed restrictions until their journey comes to a premature conclusion. Perhaps one remedy for this motorway madness would be better driver education. At present, learner drivers are barred from motorways and are thus, as far as this kind of driving is concerned, thrown in at the deep end. However, much more efficient policing is required, for it is the duty of the police not only to enforce the law but also to protect the general public from its own folly.
1. According to the writer, what are the two sides of driving on motorways as far as safety is concerned?
Motorways are the safest roads，but with more fatalities in serious accidents．
根据第一段的对比结构…on the other hand... 可找到两个方面。
2. Why are speeds on motorways greater than those on other roads?
Because there are no sharp bends，no roundabouts and no traffic lights．
根据第二段第一句。
3. What will happen if one vehicle stops on a motorway?
There will be terrible pile-ups．
根据第二段第四句 The resulting horrific pile-ups (involving may be hundred vehicles) when one vehicle stops...
4. What do drivers pay no attention to with the changing weather?
Police warnings and speed restrictions．
根据第二段最后两句Drivers... on they plough at ludicrous speeds oblivious of police warnings or speed restrictions...
5. The last paragraph is mainly about ______
remedies for motorway madness
根据最后一段的主题句特别是核心词：Perhaps one remedy for this motorway madness would be better dfiver education．
Part Ⅴ Writing Directions: For this pan, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic. You should write at least 150 words and you should base your composition on the outline below:
1.
Are You Willing to Develop Yourself in Western China?
Are You Willing to Develop Yourself in Western China?
The new generation of college graduates are facing the problem of job-hunting. Where should and would they go? A famous teleplay has such lines as "Is Xinjiang suitable for living?" and it triggered the indignation of lo-cal residents and college students. They condemned the director and the screenwriter for distorting the truth. They said people still hold misunderstanding about Xinjiang. This is a reflection of the reality. Our government has been strengthening western development, but the West still cannot draw many college graduates' attention despite various preferential policies. By contrast, the majority prefers coastal areas and other places where they can have full self-development. Maybe the misunderstanding of the west regions is the biggest stumbling block to most of them, besides psychological and geographical factors. Given the opportunity, I am quite willing to go to the West to exert my feeble strength and make my own devotion to its development.
