 (10·四川A篇)

I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (觀點(diǎn)) by creating worlds we could step into, take part. in. and live in.

     With this unshakable belief, I, at. fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people’s writing can one discover what works, what doesn’t and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.

Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文學(xué)作品)．As a. law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter—the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

41. What can be inferred about the author as a child? w_w w. k#s5_u.c o*m

A.  He never watched TV. w_w*w.k_s*5_u.c_o m

B.  He read what he had to.

C.  He found reading unbelievable.

D.  He considered reading part of his life.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

42. The underlined word "voice" in the second paragraph most probably means “       ”.

A.  an idea     

B.  a sound quality

C.  a way of writing

D.  a world to write about

43. What effect does reading have on the author? w_w*w.k_s*5_u.c_o m

A.  It helps him to realize his dream.

B.  It opens up a wider world for him.

C.  It makes his college life more interesting.

D.  It increases his interest in worldwide travel.

44. Which of the following can be the best title of this text? w_w w. k#s5_u.c o*m

A.  Why do I read?

B.  How do I read?

C.  What do I read? 

D.  When do I read?

Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our possibility to give and receive support from one another under stressful (有壓力的) conditions. Social support makes up of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily problems. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over types of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people defend themselves against illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.
Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others in spite of our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship support. Taking part in free-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting (轉(zhuǎn)移注意力) us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support :money aid, material resources, and needed services - that reduces stress by helping us solve and deal with our problems.
61. Interpersonal relationships are important because they can ________
A. make people live more easily   B. smooth away daily problems
C. deal with life changes          D. cure types of illnesses
62. The researches show that people's physical and mental health _______
A. lies in the social medical care systems which support them

A. takes place of            B. makes up of
C. lessens the effect of       D. gets rid of
64. Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work in spare time is an example of ________
A. instrumental support      B. informational support
C. social companionship     D. the strengthening of self-respect
65. What is the subject discussed in the text?
A. Interpersonal relationships.    B. Kinds of social support.

Several animal species including gorillas in Rwanda and tigers in Bangladesh could risk extinction if the impact of climate change and extreme weather on their habitats is not addressed, a UN report showed on Sunday.
Launched on the sidelines of global climate negotiations in Durban, the report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization shows how higher temperatures, the rise in sea levels, deforestation and excessive land use have damaged the habitats of certain species, especially in Africa.
“Many ecosystems have already been stressed by increasing population, historical and recent deforestation, unsustainable management practices and even invasive (入侵的) species,” Eduardo Rojas-Briales, assistant director general at the FAO's forestry department, said at the launch of the report.
The most affected areas include mountains, isolated islands and coastal areas, which limit the possibilities for animals to migrate elsewhere and create new habitats.
“The remaining populations become surrounded in very small ecosystems, they have inbreeding (近親交配) problems ... and at the end these species may disappear,” he added.
Other examples of affected animals included elephants in Mali, lions in the Serengeti and crocodiles in Malawi.
The report said an estimated 20-30 percent of plant and animal species will be at higher risk of extinction due to global warming and a significant proportion of native species may become extinct by 2050 as a consequence.
Other consequences could include the spread of invasive species and infectious diseases, it said.
The report urges more focus on restoration of damaged ecosystems, especially those key to dealing with climate change such as mangroves(紅樹林), inland waters, forests, savannahs(非洲大草原) and grasslands.
The FAO also called for the creation of migration corridors for animals in areas where their movement was limited.
The organization said while more resources were flowing to biodiversity conservation, more action at the government and policy level was needed.
It also urged local communities to develop projects that mitigate the impact of climate change on wildlife, naming eco-tourism activities as an example.
【小題1】What does the author tell us in Paragraph 2?

A．The theme of global climate negotiations in Durban.
B．The subject of research done by Eduardo Rojas.
C．Causes of damage done to ecosystems.
D．Harmful effects of damage done to ecosystems.
【小題2】Why are animals living in mountains, islands and coastal areas most affected?
A．They are frequently attacked by invasive species and infectious diseases.
B．They have difficulty finding enough food for survival.
C．They can hardly find mates to produce their young.
D．They have little chance of moving to other places.
【小題3】To avoid extinction of some animal species, the UNFAO suggested all the following ways EXCEPT ______.
A．restoring damaged ecosystems
B．limiting world population growth
C．creating movement channels for animals
D．urging governments and local communities to take action
【小題4】What does the underlined word “mitigate” in the last paragraph mean?
A．increase or further improve something.
B．Make full use of something.
C．Make something become less serious.
D．Move from one place to another.
【小題5】What would serve as the best title for the passage?
A．Animals at risk due to climate change.
B．Global warming and its consequences.
C．Climate change and ecotourism.
D．Solutions to animal distinction.

What do you do if you don’t get into your first choice of university? That’s the dilemma that faces thousands of British students every year.
Many candidates turn to Clearing, the service that helps find university places for students at the last moment. If they don’t have the marks to get into their first choice of institution, Clearing tells them about places available at other universities, though they might have to read another subject.  
But this year has seen a record number of people applying to university. This, combined with the weak economy, an uncertain job market and budget cuts at universities, means that there's been even more of a scramble for places than usual. Some sources say six students have applied for each remaining undergraduate university place.
The British university admissions service, UCAS, says up to a quarter of this year’s university applicants --- almost 190,000 people --- still don’t have a place on a degree course. That’s a rise of over 46,000 students from last year.
Faced with these figures, some British students might be thinking of an interesting alternative: studying abroad. The University of Nottingham, for example，is offering places at its campuses in Ningbo, near Shanghai, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Students here can gain University of Nottingham degrees in business, accounting, engineering and English. Similarly, the University of Bolton says it has ‘unlimited’ places at its campus in the United Arab Emirates.
Given the problems getting into university, the UK’s Higher Education Minister, David Willetts, encourages students who haven't made the grade to consider alternatives to university, such as apprenticeships and studying at home.
"There are a range of options available," he says. "People are able to reapply. They should think how they can spend their year adding that bit to their CV, which would help their application --- getting practical work experience or extra skills --- anything that strengthens their chances next year."
But some experts say that rising university costs, poor long-term job prospects, and a drop in graduate recruitment mean it’s the worst time to be a university student in the UK.
【小題1】When the author says this year “there’s been more of a scramble for places” (Para. 3), he means_________________.

A．more people have applied to university
B．there is more competition between the candidates
C．there are more services that help find university places
D．more places are available
【小題2】According to UCAS, there are about ____university applicants this year.
A．190,000B．46, 000C．236, 000D．760, 000
【小題3】David Willetts encourages students faced with the lack of places on a degree course _____.
A．to consider apprenticeships and studying at home
B．to study at campus outside the UK
C．to reapply next year
D．not to go to university in the UK
【小題4】Which of the following is NOT the reason that may make this year the worst time to enter university?
A．It costs more to study at university.
B．Long-term job prospects are worse.
C．Universities offer places in other countries.
D．There are fewer chances to do graduate study.
【小題5】According to the passage, what can students do if they don’t get into their first choice of university?
A．They can go to work in Clearing.
B．They can get practical work experience or skills and reapply next year.
C．They can spend the year writing a better CV.
D．They do graduate study at home.

“In only six days I lost seven pounds of weight.”

“Two full inches in the first three days!”

These are the kinds of statements used in magazine, newspaper, radio and television ads, promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device. The promoters(推銷員) of products say they can shape the legs, slim the face, smooth wrinkles, or in some other way to beauty or desirability.

Often such products are nothing more than money-making things for their promoter. The results they produce are questionable, and some are dangerous to health.

To understand how these products can be legally（合法地） promoted to the public, it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation. If the product is a drug, FDA（Food Drug Administration）can require proof (證明) under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act that it is safe and effective before it is put on the market. But if the product is a device, FDA has no authority(="right)" to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness. If a product already on the market is a danger to health, FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily(主動(dòng)地), or it can take legal action, including seizure (查封) of the product.

One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor, which had been sold for reducing the waistline. The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads. FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.   

Obviously, most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings (法律訴訟), and new devices appear continually. Before buying, it is up to the consumer(消費(fèi)者) to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.

72. It can be inferred that ads mentioned in the text are _________.

A. objective              B. costly（昂貴的）             C. unreliable          D. illegal

73. FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product _________.

A. if it is a drug                                                                 B. if it is a device

C. if its consumers make complaints                          D. if its distributors challenge FDA’s authority

74. The Relaxacisor is mentioned as _________.

A. a product which was designed to produce electricity

B. a product whose distributor was involved in a legal case

C. a successful advertisement of a beauty product

D. an example of a quality beauty product

75. The author intends to _________.

A. make consumers aware of（意識(shí)到） the promoters’ false promises

B. show the weakness of the law on product safety

C. give advice on how to keep young and beautiful

D. introduce the organization of FDA
