A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.With a good book in our hands we need never be lonely. Whether the characters in it are taken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble (相像) human friends whom we hold dear or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances(熟人). Our human friends sometimes may bore us, but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company. By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings. While human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement.Of all the gifts from reading books, the most valuable one is experience. Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of daily routines or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way; no airship or ocean liner orstream-lined train to transport us; no passport to enter the land of our heart's desire. Through books we may get the thrill ofhazardousadventure without danger. We can climb high mountains, brave the perils (危险) of an Antarctic winter, or cross the scorching sands of the desert, all without hardship. In books we may visit the studios of Hollywood; we may mix with the merry crowds of the Paris boulevards; we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a South Sea island. Indeed, throughbooks___________________The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.30．Why do we sometimes forget our surroundings and even our identity while reading? A．No one is trying to disturb you there.B．All is so quiet and calm around you.C．The book you read is so fascinating.D．Our life is just far from satisfactory.31．What makes people like their acquaintances in books even more?A．They are just like our human friends.B．They are unfamiliar types we like.C．They will never ever abandon us.D．They will never hurt our feelings.32．The word “hazardous” means ______.A．“unexpected”B．“dangerous”C．“imaginary”D．“unusual”33．“...the whole world is ours for the asking” means that we can____________.

All high school graduates ought to go, says conventional wisdom and statistical evidence, because college will help them earn more money, become “better” people, and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go.But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone. And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending, those who don’t fit the pattern are becoming m ore numerous, and more obvious. College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis; college students interfere with each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation in the fierce competition so as to get admitted into graduate schools. Others find no stimulation (激励) in their studies, and consequently have to drop out, which is often encouraged by college administrators.Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves--they are spoiled and they are expecting too much. B ut that’s a condemnation（谴责）of the students as a whole, and doesn’t explain all campus unhappiness. Others blame the state of the world, and they are partly right. We have been told that young people have to go to college because our economy can’t absorb a n army of untrained eighteen-year-olds. But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer absorb an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds, either.Some campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best, the proper, the only place for every young person after the completion of high school. We may have been looking at all those surveys and statistics upside down, it seems, and through the rosy(玫瑰般的) glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college doesn’t make people intelligent,ambitious, happy,liberal, or quick to learnthings—maybe________________, and intelligent, ambitious, happy, liberal, quick-learning people are merely the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place. And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not. This is heresy (异端邪说) to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good, more has to be much better. But contrary evidence is beginning to come up.35．According to the first paragraph, ___________________.A．people now no longer challenge college education.B．people still have a low opinion of college education.C．the author thinks youngsters should all go to college.D．people have great expectations for college education.36．More young people drop out of college because _________.A．they are no longer motivated in their studies.B．they can start selling shoes and driving taxis.C．they compete for admission to graduate schools.D．college administrators encourage them to do so.37．Who does the author think is to blame for campus unhappiness?A．young students who are all spoiled and expecting too much.B．our society that can’t offer enough jobs to college graduates.C．our society that has not enough jobs for high school graduates.D．young people as well as our society are to blame for all this.38．Which of the following sentences is TRUE about those surveys and statistics?A．They proved wrong as being contradictory to our college experiences.B．They are so convincing that we think of our rosy college experiences.C．They may have been misread because of our rosy college experiences.D．They prove high school graduates are smarter than college gratuates.39．What is the meaning of the underlined sentence in Paragragh 4?A．It is a different way B．It is just the opposite.C．It is the wrong way. D．There’s no other way.40．What’s the main purpose of this passage?A．To inform young people college education is no longer important now.B．To prove college education doesn’t make young people more intelligent.C．To argue against the idea that college is the first choice for all youngsters.D．To tell young people that there’s something wrong with college education.四、单项选择41．Such plants, particularly___ to collectors, motivated them to explore on a large scale.A． appealed B． attractedC． appealing D． attaching42．These citizenship ceremonies on Australian Day are intended to encourage ____, respect and promote friendship among people of different cultural and social backgrounds.A． reservation B． enduranceC． tolerance D． expedition43．There were restrictions _____ the weight of luggage.

As we go about our daily routines, we mentally attempt to place people in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman, and so on. The statuses we take often vary with the people we meet and change throughout life. Most of us can quickly adjust our statuses that various situations or occasions require. Most of social interaction(互动) consists of identifying and selecting among appropriate statuses and allowing other people to take their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people based on a constant mental process of judgment. Although some of us find the task more difficult than others, most of us perform it rather effortlessly.A status has been compared to ready-made clothes. Within certain limits, thebuyer can choose style and fabric (衣料). But an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society. Furthermore, our choice is limited to a size that will fit, as well as by our pocketbook(钱包). Having made a choice within these limits we can make certain changes, but apart from minor adjustments, we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their racks(衣架). Statues too come ready made, and the range of choice among them is limited.46．What is the function of statuses ? (not more than 15 words) 47．What do we do as the situation changes? (not more than 5 words)48．In Paragraph 2 which word do you think can replace “identifying”? (1 word) 49．Besides society what are the other two factors (因素)that limit our choice of statuses? (not more than 3 words)50．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3? (not more than 7 words)六、任务型阅读第二节语法填空(满分10分,每空不超过3个单词)“Equal pay for equal work” is a phrase by the American women who feel they are51．(fair) treated by society. They think it is not right for women to be paid less than men forthe52．amount of work. Some people say men have more duties than women. A married man has to earn money to support his family and make important _53．(decide), so it is right for them to be paid more. Some are even against married women54．(work)at all. When wives go out to work, they say, the home and children are given no attention55．. If women are encouraged by equal pay to take up jobs, they will56．(able) to do the things that they are best at doing: making a nice home and bringing _57．children. Women who disagree say that they want to escape from the limited place which society wishes them to fill and have58．freedom to choose between a job and home life,59．a mixture of the two. In fact women have theright60．_ to equal pay but also to equal chances.七、提纲类作文61．第三节书面表达假设你是二中高三（8）中学的学生王军，班里从外地转来一名同学李华，他一时无法融入新的班集体，感到很苦恼。
