第Ⅰ卷
Part Ⅰ Reading Comprehension
Directions: There are four 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
Everyone loves to eat! People in every country enjoy this activity, There are so many different kinds of food in the world—Chinese food, Italian food, South American food, Indian food, and many others. It's fun to eat and compare, different types of cuisine, ltalian food is sometimes very spicy, but South American food is usually much spicier. Indian food can be the spiciest of all—sometimes it's so hot that it can make your mouth burn! But that's okay because then you can drink some good Italian or French wine to reduce the burning!
Some wonderful food comes from the Eastern countries. Chinese food is popular in many parts of the world. Lots of people love Chinese style vegetables because they are so crispy. Because Chinese-style vegetables are usually cooked for a much shorter time, they are crisper than American-style vegetables. In fact, they are probably the crispest cooked vegetables you can find.
Some people don't like American-style food. They think it is often less tasty and sometimes less nutritious than food in other countries. Americans spend nearly half their food dollars on meals away from home. They eat more "fast food", such as hamburgers, hot dogs, pizzas, canned and frozen food, for fast food takes a short time to prepare. Often, Americans feel they are too busy to spend a lot of time cooking. It's easier to pick up a pack of fried chicken on the way home from work or take the familiy out for pizzas or burgers than to start opening cans or heating up frozen dinners after a long, hard day.
Of course, in some other countries, like France, cooking is still an "art form". Some people believe that French cuisine is the best in the world. Certainly, each person has a different opinion, about which country has the tastiest food. But people in many places agree that French food is the most delicious and the best prepared.

1. The main idea of this passage is that ______.

A.American food is less delicious than food in other countries
B.people in many countries prefer Chinese food
C.it's interesting to compare a variety of food in different countries
D.people enjoy different kinds of food in the world

A B C D

[解析] 根据短文内容，A、B、C项正确，但是不是文章的主旨，只是陈述文章中的某一个方面。
[参考译文] 每个人都喜欢吃东西。世界上有许许多多不同种类的食物：中国美食、意大利美食、南美美食、印第安美食等。品尝不同种类的美食是非常有趣的。意大利美食口味辛辣，一般来说南美美食口味更辣，印第安是各种菜系中最辣的，能辣的让人的嘴唇像是着火了。不过没关系。你可以喝点意大利或者法国啤酒来降降火。
很多经典美食来自东方。中国食物在世界各地流行。很多人喜欢中式蔬菜的脆爽。之所以如此脆爽是因为中式蔬菜比美式蔬菜烹饪的时间短。事实上，中式蔬菜可能是世界上最脆的食物。
一些人不喜欢美式食物。他们认为美式食物相对其他国家食物口感较差，缺少营养。美国人食物消费一半是花在肉类上的。他们是很多快餐，比如汉堡，热狗，披萨，灌装、冷冻食品。因为这些快餐花费时间少。美国人认为没时间烹饪。辛苦工作一天后在回家路上带着快餐吃或者全家到外面去吃披萨汉堡比开火做饭更便利。
当然，在其他国家，像是法国，烹饪是一种艺术形式。很多人相信法国大餐是世界上最好吃的美食。当然也有人有不同意见。但是大部分国家的人认为法国美食是世界上最美味、准备最完美的食物。

Passage Two
If American children have to use mosquito ringtone (静音) of cell phones at school, a university in Japan is doing the opposite: giving cell phones to students. And not just any cell phone—the iPhone 3G.
According to Asiajin, about 550 students and staff members in the School of Social Informatics at Tokyo-based university Aoyama Gakuin received the iPhone 3G for free as part of their study materials.
This is the result of a deal that Aoyama Gakuin signed with SoftBank, the only sales representative of the iPhone in Japan. The number of students using the iPhone is expected to reach about 1,000. This is the first time a particular cell phone has been used on such a huge scale at a Japanese university.
The phone will work as a study tool for students. As it comes with the global positioning system (GPS), the university plans to use it to check student attendance. Dropping classes is a big problem in Japan, where regular attendance is an important factor in determining a student's grade. Students often fake attendance by getting classmates to answer roll calls.
Now, with the iPhone 3G, the school plans to keep better tabs on (监控) its students. Students are allowed to use the phone for attendance reporting (but only if they are actually in the classroom, a fact that will be proved by the phone's GPS), lecture podcasting, and online examinations. A student can't answer the roll call using the phone from any location other than the classroom.
Students can, of course, still cheat the new system by leaving their phones with fellow classmates, but this is not very likely to happen, as people tend to keep a lot of private information on their phones that they don't want to share with others.
As for calling and data plans, the university covers the basic fee. The hardware itself is free, but students will have to pay when they exceed downloading limits.

1. According to the passage, American children are ______ at school.

A.encouraged to use cell phones
B.not encouraged to use cell phones
C.offered a new type of free cell phones
D.allowed to use free cell phones

A B C D

[解析] 根据文章内容可知，美国不鼓励学生使用手机，更不会提供学生新型手机。
[参考译文] 如果要求美国儿童在校使用小型静音手机，日本一所大学却相反：给学生发放手机。不仅仅是手机还有iPhone 3G。
根据Asiajin报道，青山学院大学信息学院的550名学生和在校职工收到iPhone 3G，用做学习资料的一部分。
这是根据日本软银(日本唯一的iPhone销售代理)和青山学院大学签订合同。使用iPhone的学生数量预计达到1000人。这也是在日本大学校园第一次广泛地使用手机。
这种手机作为学习工具之一。使用它的全球定位系统，学校计划用它来考察学生的出勤。在日本出勤是个很大的问题。而日常的出勤是评价学生分数的重要因素。以前学生通过让同学点名代喊假出勤。
现在，使用iPhone后学校计划对学生行踪很好监控。学校允许学生使用手机听报告演讲、在线测试。除了教室以外，学生不能在其他地方使用手机回应点名。
当然学生通过把手机交给同学依然能够欺骗定位系统，但是这种情况不可能发生。因为人们都在手机里面保存很多私人信息不会与别人分享。
至于点名计划，学校承担基本费用。硬件是免费的。但是当学生超过下载限制，学生依然需要付费。

2. Which of the following statements is NOT true of the School of Social Informatics? ______

A.Students receive the iPhone 3G for free
B.Students use the iPhone 3G as a study tool
C.Students have received the iPhone 3G before
D.Students can save private information on the iPhone 3G

A B C D

[解析] 根据文章内容，该学校提供给学生免费的iPhone 3G作为学习工具之一。iPhone 3G具有存储信息的功能，学生可以在上面存储私人信息。

3. Which of the following problems might be solved by using the iPhone 3G? ______

A.Fake attendance reported by classmates.
B.Failure of on-line examinations.
C.Answer to roll calls at school.
D.High cost of telephoning.

A B C D

[解析] 根据文章内容，通过使用iPhone 3G，学校可以控制学生的行踪考察学生的出勤。至于考试成败、高额电话费问题没有提及。学校点名问题未必能很好解决。同学代点名的问题可以解决。因为iPhone 3G里面存储了很多私人信息。

4. The following functions of the iPhone 3G are mentioned in the text EXCEPT ______.

A.attendance reporting
B.lecture podcasting
C.online examinations
D.downloading payment

A B C D

[解析] D项不是iPhone 3G的功能。其他几项都有提及。

5. This passage is mainly about ______.

A.the uses of the iPhone 3G at a Japanese university
B.the advantages of the iPhone 3G in Japanese universities
C.the control of dropping classes in a Japanese school
D.the use of GPS to locate students at school

A B C D

[解析] 全文讲述的是日本的一个大学给学生发放iPhone 3G的相关情况。

Passage Three
Coco Chanel, a French woman, is very famous for her success in the fashion world. The life of Coco Chanel is a classic rags-to-riches story. Born in 1883, she was abandoned by her father after her mother died. She was raised by her aunts who taught her to sew and gave her the nickname Coco, which means "little pet".
Starting out as a hat designer, Coco went against the fancy hats being worn at the time. "How can a brain function under those things," she wondered. Instead, she created simple, but beautiful designs which became popular with fashionable young women of Paris.
Strangely enough, World War I gave her the chance to develop her idea of simple elegance from hats to clothing. Due to the shortage of material during the war, she took the opportunity to show that less can truly be more, introducing turtle-neck(叠领) sweater and pants for women.
In 1923, Coco launched her line of perfumes. "A woman who does not wear perfume has no future!" she said, and women believed her. Since its first appearance, Chanel No.5 has been the world's most popular perfume, with another bottle being sold every 30 seconds. And Coco herself inspired generations of women designers and businesswomen to pursue their dreams.

A.a little animal
B.a hat company
C.the nickname of a French woman
D.the surname of a French girl

A B C D

[解析] 设计师的名字是Coco Chanel，以她的名字命名了这个品牌。
[参考译文] Coco Chanel是闻名于时尚界的一名法国女性。她的一生是典型的从贫到富的一个传奇。1883年出生，母亲死后她就被她的父亲抛弃。她被阿姨抚养长大。她的阿姨教她缝纫，给她起了名字叫做Coco，意思是小宠物。
起初她做帽子设计师，一反当时流行华丽花俏的设计理念，她设计了简单但是美丽的帽子，很快就在巴黎时尚女性中流行。
第一次世界大战使她的简单美设计思想得到了发展。战争中物资短缺，她利用机会设计了女性的叠领的上衣和宽松的裤子。
1923年Coco开发了香水生产线。她说，一个不使用香水的女性是没有未来的。女人们都相信她。从开始出现，Chanel No. 5一直是世界上最流行的香水。每30秒卖出一瓶。Coco的传奇故事激励了女性设计师、女性商人去追求他们自己的梦想。

2. Coco had her hats ______ those of her time at the beginning of her designing.

Passage Four
Everyone knows that laziness is not good. We have probably all bad lectures telling that laziness is immoral, that it is wasteful, and that lazy people will never gain anything in life. But laziness can be more harmful than that, and it is often caused by more complex reasons. Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems. They may not trust their fellow workers and they are unable to join in any group task for fear of being laughed at or for fear of having their ideas stolen. These people who seem lazy may be affected by a fear of failure that prevents successful work. Some people are so busy planning great deals that they are unable to deal with "easier" work on hand. Still others are not avoiding work; strictly speaking, they are simply putting off their work.
Laziness, however, can actually be helpful. Some people may look lazy while they are really thinking, planning and researching. We should all remember that great scientific discoveries happened by chance. Newton wasn't working on the farm when the apple hit him and he devised the theory of gravity. All of us would like to have someone "lazy" build the car we buy, particularly if that "laziness" were caused by the worker's taking time to check each step of his work and to do his job right. And sometimes, being "lazy"—that is, taking time off for a rest—is good for the overworked students or executives. Taking a rest can be particularly helpful to the sportsman who is trying too hard or the doctor who is simply working himself overtime too many evenings in the hospital. So be careful when you want to call someone lazy. That person may be thinking, resting, or planning his or her next work.

1. The main idea of this passage is that ______.

A.laziness is a bad habit that everyone wants to get rid of
B.there are advantages and disadvantages in being lazy
C.laziness is the sign of very serious emotional problems
D.lazy people usually do their work more carefully

A B C D

[解析] 文章一开始介绍对懒惰的通常认识。然后表述不同看法。举出一些看似懒惰其实不然的一些实例。通篇围绕懒惰的优缺点进行描述。
[参考译文] 每个人都知道懒惰是不好的。所有的演讲中都告诉我们懒惰是不正常的，浪费生命，懒惰的人一无所获。但是懒惰有更多的坏处，诸多复杂的原因却引起了懒惰。有些人看上去很懒是因为正遭受严重的困扰。他们不信任同事，担心思想被别人使用，或者被同事嘲笑不敢加入团队工作。这些人看上去懒惰其实是害怕不能完成工作任务而失败。一些人忙于执行大计划而怠于做琐碎小事。其他人不是逃避工作，严格地说他们是将工作推后。
然而懒惰有时候的确有用。一些人在思考设计研究的时候看上去比较懒散。我们应该了解很多著名的科学发现都是偶然发生的。当苹果击中牛顿的时候他没有在农场里工作。他发现了万有引力定律。我们都喜欢购买“懒人”设计的汽车。有时，懒惰也是休息的一种方式。这对超负荷工作的学生员工来说很有用。对于刻苦锻炼的运动员和在医院连续加夜班的医生来说，休息一下特别有帮助。所以你要注意，当你说一个人懒惰的时候他可能正在思考休息或者计划未来的工作呢。

2. Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage? ______

A.Laziness is a kind of mental disease.
B.Laziness is more beneficial than harmful.
C.Laziness cannot be explained.

C.The word "laziness" is sometimes misused.

4. The author's attitude towards laziness is ______.

A.objective
B.subjective
C.critical
D.humorous

A B C D

[解析] 作者对懒惰的态度是主观的。他主观设想了看上去懒惰的人实际所处的状态。

How to Relieve My Pressure

[范文]

How to Relieve My Pressure

Today's college students face many pressures, mainly from parents' expectation, study, economy, employment and all kinds of competition.
For me, my pressure is to study well and gain the permission from others, then find a good job and make my parents to live a better life.
I don't want to think too much. What I should do is as follows:
First, set a clear aim of a struggle. The aim can give me motivation, and make me become active.
Second, have the opioin to study hard and master the major skills well and strengthen my ability in all sides.
Third, to make as more friends as possible, which will help each other.
The last is to take part in outdoors activitives, it can relax me in pressure life and talk to my family more.
If I find pressure is nearly beyond my control, I'd turn to professional psychological guidance.
Concidence comes from hardworking.
