Part Ⅰ Writing Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
June 16th, 2005 Dear Sir: I am your neighbor living just under your apartment in this building. Recently it seems that you make a lot of noises late at night, probably working on something. I think I can understand why some people have to work hard even at night. We are all sometimes pressed by some urgent work that has to be finished within a limited period of time. However, I wonder if you can readjust your working schedule a bit to avoid making noises late at night. The noise you make disturbs my study. As I am going to graduate from college this summer, I am busy preparing for my final exams. The noise you make at night has made it impossible for me to concentrate on my study. Besides, many other neighbors also complain of it. One neighbor complains that she is suffering from lack of sleep due to the noise and makes mistakes at work, which never happened in the past. To be brief, if you could kindly change your schedule and make less noise, all your neighbors, including me of course, will feel very much obliged to you. Sincerely yours, Wang Fang

Gulf Wracked By Katrina's Latest Legacy--Disease, Poisons, Mold A month after Hurricane Katrina tore through the U.S. Gulf Coast, medical experts are now straggling with the latest crisis in the region: contamination(污染). Katrina left New Orleans and other communities tainted with oil, sewage, and possibly poisons leached from federal toxic waste sites, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says. The pollution, combined with the lack of regular medical services in the region, has raised serious questions about the safety of New Orleans and other coastal towns as people longing for home begin to go back. "I don't think New Orleans is safe for people to return to, from a public health and environmental health standpoint," said Miriam Aschkenasy, an environmental health expert working with Oxfam America in the region. Much of the contamination rests in the brown, filmy sediment(沉淀物) left behind by Katrina's polluted floodwaters. Recent EPA tests of the sediment confirmed high levels of E. coli bacteria, oil and gas chemicals, and lead, as well as varying quantities of arsenic. The health risks posed by the sediment are immediate, experts say, because the sludge (淤泥) is nearly impossible for returning residents to avoid. In New Orleans, it covers every surface that was flooded, from cars and now-dead lawns to the entire contents of flooded homes, stores, hospitals, and schools. "When people come back, they are exposed to the sediment," said Wilma Subra, a chemist from New Iberia, Louisiana, who is analyzing the sediment. "It's in their yards and houses." Old Pollution Resurfacing Plaquemines Parish, a rural county on the peninsula south of New Orleans, is now covered with even more toxic sediment than it was two weeks ago, thanks to Hurricane Rita. "Six inches up to one foot (15 to 30 centimeters) of sludge," Subra reported. Much of the sludge in Plaquemines is the product of nearby bayous and bay bottoms, where sediment was lifted up by Katrina's and Rita's storm surges. The sediment has been polluted over the years with industrial chemicals and heavy metals, said Subra, who 'tested the sediment for the Southern Mutual Help Association, a nonprofit organization in New Iberia, Louisiana. "These water bodies have received industrial wastes for decades," she said. "This material has toxic chemicals, metals, and organic petrochemicals(石化产品)." Matters have only been made worse by multiple oil spills caused by Katrina and Rita. According to the U.S. Coast Guard, 11 oil spills have occurred in southern Louisiana, totaling 7.4 million gallons (28 million liters) of oil, most of which has been contained. Bacteria levels are also especially high in the Plaquemines sludge, said Rodney Mallett, spokesperson for the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality. "The sewage treatment plants were underwater," he explained. "Between the animal waste and the human waste, you've got a lot of bacteria." Protection Kits Health and environmental agencies are advising people to avoid contact with the sludge. They recommend that people wear gloves, goggles, and dust masks, and that they wash promptly if exposure occurs. EPA officials are directing people to its Web site (www.yinfu.gov) to inform themselves of the contamination risks. But most people returning to the area don't have computers to get that information, said Erik Olson, an attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental advocacy group. "If you [do] read the Web site," he added, "you practically have to have a degree in chemistry to understand it." To better inform people of health risks, the Southern Mutual Help Association and Oxfam America are developing a program to give every returning resident a protective kit. Each kit would contain waterproof suits, goggles (风镜), shoe covers, and masks, along with information about potential hazards. Volunteers would give out the kits at the security checkpoints that now stand at the major entrances to affected cities. The groups have made a hundred demonstration kits, which cost about $100 (U.S.) each to produce, and have shown them to state leaders in Louisiana. "The governor is really in favor of this," Subra said. "We just have to determine how we're going to fund them." Toxic Mold Blooms In addition to the toxic sediment, sprawling blooms of mold have now taken hold in many flooded homes. "The mold is growing everywhere--homes are just coated with it," Subra said. The problem has become so widespread that federal health officials warned Wednesday of allergic reactions and toxic responses to the mold. Professionals should be hired to clean mold that covers more than tan square feet (one square meter), they urged. "Those [surfaces] that can't be cleaned need to be removed," said Steven Redd, chief of the Air Pollution and Respiratory Health Branch of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The effects of the mold are already surfacing in Mississippi, where respiratory (呼吸的) problems are among the illnesses doctors there are reporting. "We're seeing a lot of asthma from inhaling the mold," said Richard Paat, team leader of a temporary East Biloxi clinic. "And mouth sores from the bad water." Due to contact with unclean water, 33 people in the flood zone have contracted Vibrio infections, according to the CDC. The infections are caused by a family of bacteria that live in contaminated salt water. They can cause serious illness, especially in people with compromised immune systems. To date, six people have died from Vibrio infections. "People had open wounds and walked through floodwater with sewage in it," CDC spokesperson Von Roebuck said. "And these folks were having these wounds infected with Vibrio." Disaster Response Care "This is a highly contaminated area," said Susan Briggs, the physician overseeing FEMA's disaster-response medical teams in Louisiana and Alabama. Her teams have been inoculating residents for tetanus and Hepatitis A and B. Hepatitis is a danger when people are exposed to sewage, through water or food, Briggs explained. Tetanus can occur when people cut themselves on unclean materials, as may happen when cleaning debris. The rudimentary (根本的) living conditions in many Katrina-struck areas make it more likely that people will get sick and injured, Briggs said. "They have no electricity, no clean water, no air conditioning," she said. "There are collapsed structures and stray animals. There are huge amounts of stray dogs, and people have been bitten." Briggs and other doctors in the area have been treating many cases of diarrhea, rashes, and upper-respiratory illnesses. All of these conditions are to be expected after natural disasters, according to the CDC. But it's too soon to know if these ailments are related to contamination, the CDC's Roebuck said. "We're looking at that question," he said. "We'd like to know the answer."

A B C D
D
[解析] 19-22 M: What a lovely sunny day! W: Yes, Mike. It's lovely. By the way, your red coat really suits you. I'm sure you are very happy today. M: So you really believe that clothes carry a kind of message for other people and that what we put on is in some way a reflection of what we feel? W: Oh yes, very much so. Now people are beginning to take seriously the idea of a kind of psychology of clothing, to believe that there is not just individual taste in our clothes but also thinking behind what we wear, which is trying to express something we may not even be aware of ourselves. M: But surely this has always been the case. We all dress up when we want to impress someone, such as for a job interview with a prospective employer. We tend to make an effort and put on something smart. W: True, but that's a conscious act. What I am talking about is more of a subconscious thing. Take for example the student who is away from home at college or university: if he tends to wrap himself up more than the others, this is because he is probably feeling homesick. Similarly, a general feeling of insecurity can sometimes take the form of over-dressing in warmer clothes than are necessary. M: Can you give any other examples? W: Yes. I think people who are sociable and outgoing tend to dress in an extroverted way, preferring brighter or more dazzling colors--yellows, bright reds, and so on. In the same way, that might be seen as parallel with the animal kingdom; aggressive clothes might indicate an aggressive personality or attitude to life. Think about the threat displays used by animals when they want to ware off opponents. M: Do you think the care over the way we actually wear our clothes has anything to tell us? W: Yes, indeed. The length, for example, of a man's trousers speaks volumes about his awareness of his own image. Or, if his trousers are very short or hanging loosely, this probably means he's absorbed by other things, 19. According to the woman, what governs the clothes we wear?
C.They may try to attract other people's attention.
B.They are either cold or very sick.

综合推断题。结合听力材料可知，女士很精通服装，男士则不断用引导话语向女士提问，由此推断，男士可能是记者而女士可能是服装设计师，故选A。 [考点] suit作及物动词，有“满足，适意；对…方便”之意，如：It suits me if you come to work at eight o'clock．如果你八点来上班我就满意了。也指“适合，适当”，如：That dress suits you．那套衣服很适合你。还有“供给…衣服，给…穿衣服”之意，如：The NCOs suited the recruits in green uniforms．军士给新兵们提供绿色的制服。 wrap作动词时常与up连用，表示“包，裹，卷”，如：The assistant wrapped the skirt up for her as quickly as possible．店员以最快的速度为她包好了裙子。而wrap up in 意为“全神贯注于”，如：She is wrapped up in her studies．她埋头苦读。 warn off意为“告诫(某人)离开，告诫(某人)不得靠近”，如：I had been warned off visiting her while she was still unwell，我被告诫在她病好之前不要去看她。warn off强调的是二者的距离，以及不可接近性；与其形式相近的warn of/against强调的是警告、提醒。 speak volumes about/for意为“有力地说明；充分证明”，如：These facts speak volumes for her honesty．这些事实有力地证明了她为人诚实。
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
[解析] 23-25 M: Hi, Sarah. What's up? W: Oh, hi. I just got out of a history class. I had to give a presentation. M: How did it go? W: Terribly. I'm sure I made a fool of myself. M: Why? Weren't you prepared? W: No, it's not that. 1 just get so embarrassed and nervous whenever 1 have to speak in front of a group of people. I stand up and my Pace gets red and...then I get even more nervous because I know everyone can see me blushing. M: It is not so bad to blush. W: But it happens all the time. If the professor asks a question and I know the answer, I'll blush like crazy if he calls oil me. Doesn't that ever happen to you? M: No, not really. Maybe you should try to forget about the people. Look at something else in the room, like the exit sign. W: I guess I could try that. But I doubt that it'll help. M: You know we talked about this in psychology class. Blushing, even though it's involuntary, is more or less a learned behavior. W: What do you mean? M: Oh, children hardly ever blush at all. And, among adults, supposedly women blush more than men. W: I wonder why. M: l don't know. But I had a friend in high school, Brian Smith. It was really easy to make him blush. He turned red whenever a waitress would ask him for his order.

Passage One Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[解析] 26-28 Rats are the enemy of human beings. They eat or spoil crops of grain and rice be fore they can be harvested, or while they are in storage. In India, where millions of people go hungry, there are ten times as many rats as people. Rats devour half of the available food. Rats will also attack birds and animals, from frogs and chicks to geese and young calves. They have even destroyed dams and buildings by making holes through or under them, and have started fires by chewing on electrical wiring. The most terrible destruction caused by rats, however. has come from the diseases they carry. In the fourteenth century, rats caused the death of one-third of the world's population by transmitting the dreadful Black Plague that reined Europe. Ironically, it is in fighting diseases that rats have been most useful to humanity. Thousands of specially bred rats are used in research laboratories every year to test medicines which can possibly be used to prolong and improve human life. Some laboratory rats are even used to test new methods of eliminating their cousins, the wild rats. 26. What is the best title for the passage?

[解析] 29-31 Yokoi Shoichi, a Japanese soldier during World War II, never surrendered. For twenty-seven years, he hid deep in the jungles of Guam, a Pacific island battle site during the war. Shoichi stayed there, away from friends and foes alike, because he felt "shame and dishonor" after the war. Shoichi knew that Japan had lost the war, but the humiliation of defeat kept him from surrendering. So he stayed in the jungle, living on what he could search out. He ate mostly insects, snails, flogs and rats. In 1972, U.S. authorities finally convinced Shoichi to "surrender". He was sent back to his homeland. Shoichi's returning home attracted a lot of attention. When a department store in Tokyo exhibited his jungle clothes and tools, more than 350,000 curious people came to view them. After spending some time back in civilization, Shoichi met a forty-five years old widow. The old soldier and the widow fell in love and married. After their wedding, the couple took a honeymoon trip to the island of Guam. 29. What is the passage mostly about?

[解析] 32-35 Hundreds of violins are made every day. However, the finest were handcrafted by an Italian violin maker over two hundred and fifty years ago. The craftsman's name was Antonius Stradivarius. Any one of his violins is worth more than $100,000 today. His instruments could reproduce tones as rich as those produced by the human voice. During his career he made over eleven hundred violins by hand. Those still in existence have become treasured possessions. Unfortunately, the secret of the Stradivarius violin died with its maker. During his lifetime Stradivarius kept his notes safely hidden. Even his two sons, who helped him in his workshop, did not know all the steps involved in each violin's construction. Through the years, many experts have offered possible explanations for the unique tone of a "Strad". Some say it is the instrument's shape and the harmony of its parts.' Others suggest that the secret lies in the special properties of the wood that no longer exist. The most widely accepted supposition is the paint that the old master used to coat his instruments. Still, no violin maker has been able to fully reproduce the tone of Stradivarius's violins. 32. What is the best title for this passage?

Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated (47) ? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date? Many people are afraid to assert (表现) themselves. Dr. Alberti thinks it's because their self-respect is low. "Our whole (48) is designed to make people distrust themselves," says Alberti. "There's always ' (49) ' around--a parent, a teacher, a boss--who 'knows better'. These superiors often gain when they chip (消弱) away at your self-image." But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people (50) themselves. They (51) "assertiveness training" courses--AT for short. In the AT courses people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be more (52) without hurting other people. In one way, learning to speak out is to (53) fear. A group taking a course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger (54) --the need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because be wants to tell how he feels. Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image. If someone you face is more "important" than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to (55) your own good sense. You go by the other person's (56) . But, why should you? AT says you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.

Passage One Among all the animals, the ape is most like human beings. Both people and apes have the similar brain structure, the similar nerve system, and the similar kind of blood. There are four kinds of apes: the chimpanzee (黑猩猩), the orangutan (猩猩), the gorilla (大猩猩), and the gibbon (长臂猿). They live in the deep forests and warm tropical regions of Africa and of Southeast Asia, including Indonesia. All apes are covered with brown, reddish-brown, or black hair everywhere on their bodies except their faces, feet, and hands. Their hands each have four lingers and a thumb that helps them grip things the way our thumbs help us. But they also have a thumb on each foot instead of a big toe. Thus they can hold things with their feet also. Having short, weak legs, apes do not walk on the ground very much. However, their arms are very strong. This enables them to swing from branches and travel very quickly from tree to tree. These animals live in small family groups that move from place to place in search of vegetables and fruits. They also eat eggs, small animals, nuts, and insects. When they are tired, they build nests in the trees. But they rarely sleep there for more than a night or two. Then they move on to look for more food. There are some differences among the following three kinds of apes. The gibbon is never more than three feet high and weighs only about fourteen pounds. The gorilla grows to be six feet tall and weighs up to 600 pounds. The orangutan is smaller than the gorilla. It stands three to five feet tall and weighs up to 200 pounds. Chimpanzees are the smartest of all apes. They can be taught to sit at a table and eat, to dress themselves, and to do things that human children can do.

Passage Two Videodisc holds great promise of helping to meet the needs of American schoolchildren who have problems seeing, hearing, speaking, or socializing. Almost eleven percent of the students aged 3-21 in this country have an impairment that affects their ability to benefit from a regular education program. Handicapped students require special education because they are often markedly different from most children in one or more of the following ways: mentally retarded (发展迟缓的), learning-disabled, emotionally disturbed, deaf visually handicapped, physically handicapped, or other health impairments. The education of these handicapped children is rewarding but challenging. A special education student usually needs a longer period of time to acquire information. Repetitive teaching techniques arc often beneficial, and indefatigable(孜孜不倦的) consistency on the part of the teacher is frequently necessary. Interactive videodisc courseware has characteristics that can be capitalized upon to meet the challenges that special education poses. A videodisc program is infinitely patient. Repetition of any videodisc lesson can continue endlessly, and designers can assure absolute consistency within a program. Most important, according to special educator William Healey of the University of Arizona, is that videodisc "adds an extra dimension of realism for children who need graphic representations". Healey explained that deaf and mentally retarded children especially have difficulty grasping figurative (比喻的) language and higher-order language concepts. He believes that for special education, the power of videodisc lies in the ability of the technology to visually represent language concepts normally taken for granted by non-handicapped persons. Complex figurative language forms such as idioms and metaphors come most readily to mind as being difficult for handicapped learners.

Many people wrongly believe that when people reach old age, their families place them in nursing homes. They are left in the 1 of strangers for the rest of their lives. Their 2 children visit them only occasionally, but more often, they do not have any 3 visitors. The truth is that this idea is an unfortunate myth--an 4 story.
