第二部分:阅读理解(第一节20小题, 第二节5小题; 每小题2分, 满分50分)

A
The non-medical use of certain drugs is forbidden in the United States because they can be dangerous. Many Americans, however, still use drugs illegally without a doctor’s permission. In fact, the wrong use of drugs has become one of Americans’ most serious problems.
One of the most dangerous illegal drugs in use today is opium(鸦片), with its by-products morphine(吗啡) and heroin. These drugs have long been used by doctors to ease the pain of seriously sick or severely injured people. But the use of these drugs must be carefully regulated because they are habit-forming. When a drug or chemical is so habit-forming that the person who begins to use it gradually finds he cannot do without it; the drug is called addictive.
People who suffer from addiction are called addicts. In America, most drug addicts take heroin. Most heroin addicts are young men (under 30), and almost all live in large cities. There is no way to tell the exact number of heroin addicts in the United States. It is said that half of the America’s addicts live in New York City. This number may include hundreds of thousands of people.
Heroin is harmful, but why do so many people use the drug? Part of the answer lies in the effects that heroin produces. It can take away fear, tension and feelings of helplessness. People use heroin in the hope that it will help them escape from a life that is dull and hopeless. It is easy to see why the use of heroin is so common in the crowded big cities in America.
In the United States drugs have ruined many of the young people’s minds and their bodies, and the situation is not getting any better. Drug addiction has resulted in many a ruined career, exclusion from school or college, or years in prison. Clearly, using illegal drugs is a big problem.
41. One of the serious social problems in America is _______.
A. the wrong use of certain drugs
B. getting some drugs secretly and illegally
C. the production of morphine
D. the side effect of the drugs
42. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
A. It is said that half of the America’s addicts live in New York City.
B. The number of the addicts has reached as many as 100,000 people.
C. Most heroin addicts are under 30.
D. Almost all addicts live in cities.
43. People take heroin because _______.
A. they hope the drug may help them to escape from the practical world
B. they hope to produce some effects from the drug.
C. They are frightened, tense and helpless every day.
D. They like the taste of the plant
44. According to the writer, the illegal use of morphine or heroin can be _______.
A. punished by long-term labor outside the prison
B. very dangerous because it kills the user immediately
C. dull and hopeless
D. sentenced to prison for years
B
Hollywood suggests glamour, a place where the young star-struck teenagers could, with a bit of luck, fulfill their dreams. Hollywood suggests luxurious houses with vast palms-fringed swimming pools, cocktail bars and furnishings fit for a millionaire. And the big movie stars were millionaires. Many spent their fortunes on yachts, Rolls Royces and diamonds. A few of them lost their glamour quite suddenly and were left with nothing but emptiness and colossal debts.
Movies were first made in Hollywood before World War I. The constant sunshine and mild climate of southern California made it an ideal site for shooting motion pictures. Hollywood’s fame and fortune reached its peak in the 1930s and 1940s, the golden days of the black and white movies. In those days Hollywood was like a magnet, drawing ambitious young men and women from all over the world. Stars were often typecast and if he or she appealed to the public as a lover, then he or she always played the part of a lover. A star who was a hit as a cowboy or a bad guy, got the same kind of role again and again. There are little arguing. Their studios’ decided everything. Many studio chiefs were tyrants, determined to get their own way at all costs. They even tried to interfere in their stars’ private lives
Hollywood is no longer the heart of the world’s motion picture industry. Most movies today are filmed on location, that is to say, in the cities, in the countryside, and in any part of the world that the script demands. Yet Hollywood has not lost all its glamour. Movie stars still live there, or in neighboring Bevetley Hills, and so do many of the famous and wealthy people who have made their homes in southern California.
Hollywood, above all, has glamour of the past. It is a name which will always be associated with motion-picture-making, and for many years to come the old Hollywood movies will be shown again and again in movie houses and on television screens all over the world.
45. Hollywood is a place where _______.
A. all the young people can realize their dreams.
B. lucky young people can succeed easily
C. the dream of lucky young people who desire to become stars can come true easily
D. all young people can enjoy a comfortable life
46. What does the underlined word “hit” in the second paragraph mean?
A. a person who is hit by others
B. a person who loves films very much
C. a cowboy or a bad guy
D. a successful and popular person
47. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. Hollywood is still the heart of the world’s motion picture industry now.
B. Hollywood will always remind us of motion-picture-making.
C. In Hollywood movies were first made in the 1930s and 1940s.
D. Hollywood has lost its glamour completely
48. What will be the best title of the passage?
A. Hollywood B. The Glamor of Hollywood
C. The Stars in Hollywood D. The Story of Hollywood

Charles Stratton stopped growing when he was only five. His mother took him to see the famous showman, P.T.Bamum. Mr. Bamum thought a dwarf would be the perfect addition to his show. He hired Charles’ parents along with him, and they traveled the world together.
He gave the two-foot-tall Charles a new name, General Tom Thumb, after a tiny knight from a legend. He taught Tom how to sing, dance and tell jokes, etc. When he felt Tom was ready to perform on stage, he made up ads. To stir up great interest, he said that Tom was eleven years old and had come from England.
During the show, Tom fought fake battles with tall people. He also danced upon a wooden plate held by a person who was eight feet tall.
Tom’s act was very popular, and brought in a lot of money. By the time Tom was an adult, he had grown very rich. He had become a billionaire at the age of twenty-five.
Fortunately for Tom, Mr. Bamum added more little people to his show, and Tom became lucky in love as well. One of the little people was Lavinia Warren, a school teacher. Tom was able to win her love, and they married.
The ceremony and reception were the talk of the town. They were attended by about two thousand guests, including many rich and famous people. Crowds filled the streets of New York City to catch a glimpse of their tiny wedding carriage. The couple even met with President Abraham Lincoln during their honeymoon, just before going to live in Tom’s house in Connecticut.
Their wedding, which took place during the Civil War, provided a welcome escape from the gloomy problems of war. Not willing to let this bit of sunshine fade, communities throughout the country sponsored “Tom Thumb Weddings” . In these weddings, small boys and girls went through marriage ceremony for fun.

D
Many of us believe that a person’s mind becomes less active as he grows older. But this is not true, according to Dr. Lissy F. Jarvik, professor of psychiatry at the University of California, Los Angeles, and a board member of the New Center for Aging at the Veterans Hospital. She has studied the mental functioning of aging persons for several years. For example, one of her studies concerns 136 pairs of twins, who were first examined when they were already 60 years old. As Dr Jarvik continued the study of the twins into their 70s and 80s, their mind did not generally decline as was expected.
However, it took them longer to complete mental tasks than it used to. But when speed was not a factor, they lost very little intellectual ability over the years. In general, Dr Jarvik’s studies have shown that there’s no decline in knowledge or reasoning ability. This is true not only into the 30s and 40s, but into the 60s and 70s as well.
As for learning new things, and ability to remember, studies by Dr Jarvik and others show that the old are equal to the young. It is true that older people themselves often complain that their memory is not as good as it once was. However, much of what we call “loss of memory” is not that at all.
In the cases where an older person’s mind really seems to decline, it is not necessarily a sign of a decline due to becoming old or “senility(衰老)”. Often it is simply a sign of a depressed (less active) emotional state. This depression usually can be got rid of by asking a psychologist for advice or taking some medicine which fights depression.
In American society, when an older person loses something, we tend to call him or her “senile”. But notice that a younger person loses something, he does not blame it on senility or loss of memory. He finds some other excuse!
53. What is true about the subjects of Jarvik’s study?
A. They are 136 old people.
B. They are members in the New Center for Aging.
C. They were first examined when they were young.
D. They were examined into their 70s and 80s.
54. What does Jarvik’s study show?
A. A person’s mind becomes less active as he grows older.
B. It takes aging people shorter to complete mental tasks.
C. The people lose little intellectual ability over the years even in their 60s and 70s
D. There is decline in reasoning ability in people’s 30s and 40s.
55. The depression of an old person usually can be got rid of by ________.
A. asking a psychologist for advice
B. taking some medicine which fights senility.
C. not thinking of his age
D. staying with other old people
56. What will be the best title of the passage?
A. The Study Of Aging Persons
B. The Equality Of The Old
C. Mental Functioning Of Aging Persons
D. The Learning Ability Of The Old

From the days of Empire, the British have always considered themselves models of reserve, laughing at “excitable foreigners” who show no feeling control. British men are abandoning their tight upper lips but still do not wear their hearts on their sleeves like Americans, a new survey showed.
When it comes to raw emotion, the once buttoned-up Brits are now happy to shed tears quite openly. “30% of all British males have cried in the last month. That is a very high figure,” said Peter Marsh, director of the Social Issues Research Center which took the emotional temperature of Britain. “Only 2% said they could not remember when they last cried.”
Long gone is the “No Tears---We’re British” times when emotion was considered obviously bad form. According to the poll of 2,000 people, very few people in their forties or fifties had seen their father cry. Now it is twice as many. 77% of men considered crying in public increasingly acceptable. Almost half the British men opened the floodgates over a sad movie, book or TV program. Self-pity got 17% crying. 9% sobbed at weddings.
Women’s battle for equal rights has certainly had an effect---both in the workplace and at home. “Men in their twenties or thirties are interacting with women on equal terms much more so than a generation ago. They have to mix with the opposite sex. Women become more man-like and men become more female.” Marsh said.
Marsh argued the divide was still there: “We have probably not caught up with the Americans or the Italians when it comes to the actual display of emotions. But we are clearly varying. What we take as typical British reserve has been greatly changed.”
Reflecting on the survey’s findings, clinical psychologist Ron Bracey agreed. “we are catching up with Americans but are not nearly as open as the French, Italians and the Greeks,”, he said. “In the United States, there are five times as many psychologists as there are in UK. That might be a too large number but the Americans want to know what makes them cry.”
57. The reason why the British laughed at “excitable foreigners” is that the foreigners________.
A. always allow their feelings to be seen
B. always show proper reserve
C. always control their feelings
D. like to talk about others’ affairs
58. What does the underlined phrase “opened the floodgates” mean?
A. got sad at the flood
B. opened the gate to admit water
C. closed the gate to keep out of flood
D. burst into tears
59. Which statement is true according to the text?
A. The typical British reserve has changed a little.
B. Emotion is still considered obviously a bad form in Britain now.
C. Most men in Britain consider crying in public acceptable now.
D. There are five times as many psychologists in Britain as there are in the United States.
60. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Women in Britain fight for equal rights.
B. The British consider themselves models of reserve.
C. The British cry more in public nowadays than before.
D. No Tears--- We are British

书面表达:
Country life is quite different from city life. You will never worry about air pollution if you live in the country. The air is clean and pure. Instead of hearing the noise of buses everywhere, as in the city, you will enjoy yourself listening to the cock crow and the singing of birds. The natural scenery of the country is much more beautiful than that of the city. There aren’t any skyscrapers in the country. All you see is little hills and valleys and streams and lakes. Of course, the cost of living is less in the country than in the city. Unlike the people in the city---they are often strangers to one another even if they have lived in the same building for years---country people know each other quite well. They are friendly and hospitable.
