Reading Comprehension

You never see him, but they’re with you every time you fly. They record where you are going, how fast you’re traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. Their ability to withstand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book. They’re known as “the black box”. When planes fall from the sky, as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the Indian ocean on June 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. So when a French submarine(潜水艇)detected the device’s homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed. In 1958, Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic: information like altitude and direction. That was the first mode for a black box, which became a requirement on all U. S. commercial flights by 1960. Early models often failed to withstand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear of the plane(the area least subject to impact)from its original position in the landing wells(起落架舱). The same year, the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility. Modern airplanes have two black boxes; a voice recorder, which tracks pilots’ conversations, and a flight-data recorder, which monitors fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft’s final moments. Placed in an insulated(隔绝的)case and surrounded by quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can withstand massive force and temperatures up to 2000?. When submerged, they’re also able to emit signals from depths of 20000 ft. Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447, which crashed near Brazil on June 1 2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say they’re still likely to turn up. In the approximately 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one plane’s black boxes were never recovered.

1． What does the author say about the black box?

A．It ensures the normal functioning of an airplane.

B．The idea for its design comes from a comic book.

C．Its ability to ward off disasters is incredible.

D．It is an indispensable device on an airplane.

正确答案：C

解析：根据第一段倒数第二行Their ability to withstand almost any disaster makes them seemlike something out of a comic book．可知黑匣子几乎能够经受住所有的灾难。它好像是来自漫画书中的神奇之物一样，故C正确。withstand，忍受；ward off，避免。

2． What information could be found from the black box on the Yemeni airliner?

A．Data for analyzing the cause of the crash.

B．The total number of passengers on board.

C．The scene of the crash and extent of the damage.

D．Homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash.

正确答案：A

解析：根据第二段第二行…the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong和determining the cause of a tragedy，可知黑匣子中的信息可以有助于找出一架飞往Yemeni的飞机失事的原因，故A正确。

3． Why was the black box redesigned in 1965?

A．New materials became available by that time.

B．Too much space was needed for its installation.

C．The early models often got damaged in the crash.

D．The early models didn’t provide the needed data.

正确答案：C

解析：根据第三段第三行Early models often failed to withstand crashes，however，so in 1965the device was completely redesigned，可知之所以在1965年重新设计黑匣子，是因为之前的黑匣子经常经受不住外部的破坏，故C正确。

4． Why did the Federal Aviation Authority require the black boxes be painted orange or yellow?

A．To distinguish them from the colour of the plane.

B．To caution people to handle them with care.

C．To make them easily identifiable.

D．To conform to international standards.

正确答案：C

解析：根据第三段倒数第二行the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes，whichwere never actually black，be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility．可知之所以把黑匣子染成橘黄色或者金黄色是为了便于察觉，故C正确。

5． What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447?

A．There is still a good chance of their being recovered.

B．There is an urgent need for them to be reconstructed.

C．They have stopped sending homing signals.

D．They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil.

正确答案：A

解析：根据第四段倒数第四行Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447，whichcrashed near Brazil on June 1，2009，are in water nearly that deep，but statistics say they’re stilllikely to turn up．可知专家仍然相信，2009年在巴西坠毁的飞机，其黑匣子还是有可能找到的，虽然该黑匣子可能已经接近极限了。

When next year’s crop of high-school graduates arrive at Oxford University in the fall of 2009, they’ll be joined by a new face: Andrew Hamilton, the 55-year-old provost(教务长)of Yale, who’ll become Oxford’s vice-chancellor—a position equivalent to university president in America. Hamilton isn’t the only educator crossing the Atlantic. Schools in France, Egypt, Singapore, etc, have also recently made top-level hires from abroad. Higher education has become a big and competitive business nowadays, and like so many businesses, it’s gone global. Yet the talent flow isn’t universal. High-level personnel tend to head in only one direction: outward from America. The chief reason is that American schools don’t tend to seriously consider looking abroad. For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of the university’s budget. “ We didn’t do any global consideration,” says Patricia Hayes, the board’s chair. The board ultimately picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist(活动家)who is likely to do well in the main task of modern university presidents: fund-raising. Fund-raising is a distinctively American thing, since U. S. schools rely heavily on donations. The fund-raising ability is largely a product of experience and necessity. Many European universities, meanwhile, are still mostly dependent on government funding. But government support has failed to keep pace with rising student number. The decline in government support has made funding-raising an increasing necessary ability among administrators and has hiring committees hungry for Americans. In the past few years, prominent schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2003, when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen “ a major strengthening of Yale’s financial position. “ Of course, fund-raising isn’t the only skill outsiders offer. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind of promote international programs and attract a global student body. Foreigners can offer a fresh perspective on established practices.

6． What is the current trend in higher education discussed in the passage?

A．Institutions worldwide are hiring administrators from the U. S.

B．A lot of political activists are being recruited as administrators.

C．American universities are enrolling more international students.

D．University presidents are paying more attention to funding-raising.

正确答案：A

解析：由倒数第三段最后一句The decline in government support has made fund-raising anincreasingly necessary ability among administrators，and has made hiring committees hungry forAmericans可以知道答案，故选A。

7． What do we learn about European universities from the passage?

A．The tuitions they charge have been rising considerably.

B．Their operation is under strict government supervision.

C．They are strengthening their position by globalization.

D．Most of their revenues come from the government.

正确答案：D

解析：由第四段第一行Many European universities，meanwhile，are still mostly dependent ongovernment funding．可以知道答案，所以选D。

8． Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard as its vice-chancellor chiefly because______.

A．she was known to be good at raising money

B．she could help strengthen its ties with Yale

C．she knew how to attract students overseas

D．she had boosted Yale’s academic status

Several recent studies have found that being randomly(随机地)assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood(可能性)of conflict. Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease prejudice and compel students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships. An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success throughout their college careers. Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure. In a New York Times article, Sam Boakye—the only black student on his freshman year floor—said that “ if you’re surrounded by whites, you have something to prove. “ Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students in residences. According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different races are more likely to experience conflicts so strained that one roommate will move out. An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester. Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. “ This may be the first time that some of these students have interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race,” she said. At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing. “One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly,” said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. “ This is the definition of integration. “ “I’ve experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down stereotypes and reinforced stereotypes,” said one Penn resident advisor(RA). The RA of two years added that while some conflicts “ provided more multicultural acceptance and melding(融合),” there were also “jarring cultural confrontations. “ The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race. Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the studies, noting that more background characteristics of the students need to be studied and explained.

11． What can we learn from some recent studies?

A．Conflicts between students of different races are unavoidable.

B．Students of different races are prejudiced against each other.

C．Interracial lodging does more harm than good.

D．Interracial lodging may have diverse outcomes.

正确答案：D

解析：第一段第一句中Several recent studies found that…与题干对应，其中“beingrandomly assigned to a roommate of another race”对应了选项D中的“interracial lodging”，“can…but also…”说明了interracial lodging是有利有弊的。因此D选项符合文意

12． What does Sam Boakye’s remark mean?

A．White students tend to look down upon their black peers.

B．Black students can compete with their white peers academically.

C．Black students feel somewhat embarrassed among white peers during the freshman year.

D．Being surrounded by white peers motivates a black student to work harder to succeed.

正确答案：D

解析：题干中出现的人名Sam Boakye提示答案定位在第四段第一句话。if you’resurrounded by whites，you have something to prove．这句话前面的插入语the only black studenton his freshman year floor，介绍了Sam Boakye作为黑人学生的背景，帮助我们理解之前那句话：如果你的周围都是白人，那么一定会去证明些什么，言下之意就是选项D“白人同伴的存在会激励黑人学生更加努力地去取得成功”。

13． What does the Indiana University study show?

A．Interracial roommates are more likely to fall out.

B．Few white students like sharing a room with a black peer.

C．Roommates of different races just don’t get along.

D．Assigning students’ lodging randomly is not a good policy.

正确答案：A

解析：题干中出现的机构名称Indian University提示答案定位在第七段第一句话。通过定位可以发现研究结果显示Interracial roommate were three times as likely as two whiteroommates to no longer live together，与选项A中的more likely to fall out对应，因此选择A。此处，fall out应该理解为“散伙，分开”。

14． What does Alec Webley consider to be the”definition of integration”?

A．Students of different races are required to share a room.

B．Interracial lodging is arranged by the school for freshmen.

C．Lodging is assigned to students of different races without exception.

D．The school randomly assigns roommates without regard to race.

正确答案：D

解析：题干出现的人名Alec Webley提示答案定位在第十段第一句。人名后出现“Thisis the definition of integration”，由“this”可知人名前就是我们要找的答案，即the process throwsyou together randomly，“throw you together randomly”与“randomly assign”对应.意思与选项D符合。因此，此处选择D。

15． What does Grace Kao say about interracial lodging?

A．It is unscientific to make generalizations about it without further study.

B．Schools should be cautious when making decisions about student lodging.

C．Students’ racial background should be considered before lodging is assigned.

D．Experienced resident advisors should be assigned to handle the problems.

正确答案：A

解析：It is unscientific to make generalizations about it without further study．根据最后一段意思：要得出Interracial lodging的一般规律，需要对学生的背景特征有更多的研究，与选项A的意思相同。而选项BCD在文中没有明确提及。

Life learning(sometimes called un-schooling or self-directed learning)is one of those concepts that are almost easier to explain by saying what it isn’t than what it is. And that’s probably because our own schooled backgrounds have convinced us that learning happens only in a dedicated building on certain days, between certain hours, and managed by a specially trained professional. Within that schooling framework, no matter how hard teachers try and no matter how good their textbooks, many bright students get bored, many slower students struggle and give up or lose their self-respect, and most of them reach the end of the process unprepared to enter into society. They have memorized a certain body of knowledge long enough to rush back the information on tests, but they haven’t really learnt much, at least of the official curriculum. Life learners, on the other hand, know that learning is not difficult, that people learn things quite easily if they’re not compelled and forced, if they see a need to learn something, and if they are trusted and respected enough to learn it on their own timetable, at their own speed, in their own way. They know that learning cannot be produced in us and that we cannot produce it in others—no matter what age and no matter whether we’re at school or at home. Life learning is independent of time, location or the presence of teacher. It does not require mom or dad to teach, or kids to work in workbooks at the kitchen table from 9 to noon from September to June. Life learning is learner-driven. It involves living and learning—in and from the real world. It is about exploring, questioning, experimenting, making messes, taking risks without fear of making mistakes, being laughed at and trying again. Furthermore, life learning is about trusting kids to learn what they need to know and about helping them to learn and grow in their own ways. It is about providing positive experiences that enable children to understand the world and their culture and to interact with it.

16． It is implied in the text that it is hard to ______.

A．carry life learning through

B．tell the nature of life learning

C．learn without going to school

D．find a specially trained teacher

正确答案：B

解析：细节题。文章第一段开始作者就强调很难给终身学习这个慨念下定义，所以答案为B。

17． According to the author, the schooling framework often______.

A．produces slow students with poor memories

B．ignores some parts of the official curriculum

C．fails to provide enough knowledge about life

D．gives little care to the quality of teaching materials

正确答案：B

解析：细节题。文中第二段最后提到…but they haven’t really learnt much，at least of theofficial curriculum．由此可知，学校模式下的学习忽视了正式课程中的某些部分，所以答案为B。

18． Life learners recognize that learning will not be difficult if they are______.

A．clear about why to learn

B．careful to make a time table

C．able to respect other people

D．cautious about any mistakes

正确答案：A

解析：细节题。文中第三段第一句可知，终身学习者认为，如果学习者不被强迫，如果他们认识到了学习的必要性，学习将会变得容易许多，所以答案为A．

19． According to the author, life learning______.

A．could prevent one from running risks

B．could be a road full of trials and errors

C．makes a kid independent of his parents

D．teaches a kid how to avoid being scorned

正确答案：B

解析：主旨归纳题。文中第四段最后一句可知终身学习是一个不断探索、求知、冒险，且不断犯错的过程。即B选项里提到的充满了尝试和错误，所以答案为B.

20． Through life learning, children______.

A．will grow without the assistance from parents

B．will learn to communicate with the real world

C．will be driven to learn necessary life knowledge

D．will be isolated from the negative side of society

正确答案：B

解析：推理判断题。文中最后一段中说终身学习使学习者理解世界，了解文化并与之进行交流，所以答案为B。

British Cuisine:The Best of Old and New Why does British food have a reputation for being so bad? Because it is bad! Those are not the most encouraging words to hear just before eating lunch at one of Hong Kong’s smartest British restaurants, Alfie’s by KEE, but head chef Neil Tomes has more to say. “The past 15 years or so have been a noticeable period of improvement for food in England,” the English chef says, citing the trend in British cuisine for better ingredients, preparation and cooking methods, and more appealing presentation. Chefs such as Delia Smith, Nigel Slater, Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay made the public realise that cooking and eating didn’t have to be a boring thing. And now, most of the British public is familiar even with the extremes of Heston Blumentha’s molecular gastronomy, a form of cooking that employs scientific methods to create the perfect dish. “ It’s no longer the case that the common man in England is embarrassed to show he knows about food. “ Tomes says. There was plenty of room for improvement. The problems with the nation’s cuisine can be traced back to the Second World War. Before the War, much of Britain’s food was imported and when German U-boats began attacking ships bringing food to the country, Britain went on rations(配给). “As rationing came to an end in the 1950s, technology picked up and was used to mass-produce food,” Tomes says. “ And by then people were just happy to have a decent quantity of food in their kitchens. “ They weren’t looking for cured meats, organic produce or beautiful presentation; they were looking for whatever they could get their hands on, and this prioritisation of quantity over quality prevailed for decades, meaning a generation was brought up with food that couldn’t compete with neighbouring France, Italy, Belgium or Spain. Before star chefs such as Oliver began making cooking fashionable, it was hard to find a restaurant in London that was open after 9 pm. But in recent years the capital’s culinary(烹饪的)scene has developed to the point that it is now confident of its ability to please the tastes of any international visitor. With the opening of Alfie’s in April, and others such as The Pawn, two years ago, modern British food has made its way to Hong Kong. “ With British food, I think that Hong Kong restaurants are keeping up,” says David Tamlyn, the Welsh executive chef at The Pawn in Wan Chai. “Hong Kong diners are extremely responsive to new ideas or presentations, which is good news for new dishes. “ Chefs agree that diners in Hong Kong are embracing the modern British trend. Some restaurants are modifying the recipes(菜谱)of British dishes to breathe new life into the classics, while others are using better quality ingredients but remaining true to British traditions and tastes.

Translation

Section ADirections: Translate the following English into Chinese.

66)Time spent in a well-decorated bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a keen book-lover or merely there to buy a nice book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. 67)The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust jacket(护封、书套)is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book. 68)You soon become engrossed in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment—without buying a book, of course. 69)This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, as far as I’m concerned, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. You can wander round such places to your heart’s content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the inevitable greeting, “can I help you, sir?” You needn’t buy anything if you don’t want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing. Then, only then, are his services necessary. Of course you may want to find out where a particular section is, but when he has led you there, the assistant should retire carefully and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book. You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. 70)It_is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste great deal of time wandering from section to section.

正确答案： An Application to Be a Volunteer of Expo Dear Sir or Madam, I’m writing to apply for a volunteer position of this Expo. I have been hoping to become a volunteer for a big event for a long time. I made the decision for the following reasons. Firstly, this program is of far-reaching social significance in that it helps both the Chinese get to know the world and the world get to know China. Secondly, this program, a totally new environment for me, will offer a unique opportunity for my personal growth. What’s more, I believe my strengths, responsibility and enthusiasm arm me as a qualified candidate. I am highly responsible and patient, ready to help, have good English proficiency, and like communicating. In addition, I have been working for some charity activities for about one year and a half, as a volunteer English teacher for a nearby middle school, as well as a volunteer aide to a beadhouse. I’m sure these experiences will help. Your favorable consideration will be highly appreciated. Yours sincerely, Lin Lin
