II. Grammar and vocabulary Section ADirections: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks,use one word that best fits each blank.(A)I hated dinner parties. But I decided (25)_ (give) them another try because Im in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because (26)_ dinner parties in London are very different from those in New York. In New York, “Im having a dinner party” means “Im booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you (27)_ hardly afford and well be sharing the check evenly, (28)_ you eat.” Worse, in Manhattan, there is always someone who (29)_ (leave) before the bill arrives. Theyll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, who dont drink, end up (30)_ (pay) even more. But if I try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: “Where are you going?” And its not like that I cant say I have somewhere to go: everyone knows I have nowhere to go. But in London, dinner parties are in peoples homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix. The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India, Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations. In New York, the mix is like a gathering at Bloomingdales, a well-known department store. Personally, I think dinner parties in London are (31)_ (impressive) than this. For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn (District) and Queens (District) in New York. But at Mallerys, when I said that I (32) _ (be) to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was. In New York people would think it was a usual new club. 來源:中國教育出版網(wǎng)(B)Several factors led to my recent car accident. First of all, a heavy snow and freezing rain that had fallen the day before made the road I was driving on dangerous. The road had been cleared, (33)_ it was still dangerously icy. Despite the slippery road, I was stupidly going along (34)_ about 50 miles an hour, instead of driving more cautiously. Another factor was a dirty green van that suddenly pulled onto the road from a small crossroad of the street about fifty yards ahead of me. The road (35)_ (cover) with a sheet of ice at that point and if I applied my brakes, I would steer into the van. So I carefully drove my car into the next lane, and though the rear (后部) of my car began skidding back and forth, for a moment I got the idea (36)_ everything was OK as I drove past the slow-moving van.Unfortunately, the rear of my Volkswagen was heavy (37)_ the engine was there and also because there was a new weight-lifting set (38)_ (lay) in the back seat, the result of (39)_ was that after I passed the van, my car turned completely around on the slippery road. I was desperately sliding down the highway backwards at 50 miles an hour. Then I slid off the road, (40)_ (hit) a wooden fence post. My left rear taillight was broken in the process. Then I suddenly saw a telephone pole about only 6 feet to the right of me, and I realized my accident could have really been a disaster. Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. dip B. common C. desired D. addition E. embarrassing F. carefully G. muddy H. fed I. access J. raising K. benefitDucks offer certain advantages over hens. Ducks are immune to some 41 diseases found in hens. Some breeds of duck produce bigger eggs than hens. In 42 , ducks lay eggs over a longer season than hens do.Poultry（禽類） keepers with gardens have less to worry about if they keep ducks rather than hens because the former are unlikely to dig up plants and destroy roots. While both hens and ducks 43 the garden by eating pests, hens are known to damage grass beds. Ducks, on the other hand, will search for insects more 44 . Only very delicate plants are at risk from the broad, webbed feet of ducks.Like all waterbirds, ducks need 45 to water, and duck keepers typically provide this by building a pond. Something this large is not absolutely necessary, however, ducks need only to be able to 46 their heads in the water to keep their nose clean. If a pond is provided, though, it is important to keep baby ducks away from it until they are old enough to put up with the cool temperature of the water. When 47 ducks, one has to consider just how many the land will support. The rule is generally about 100 ducks per acre. If more than this proportion is introduced, there is a risk of pressing the soil, which can lead to 48 conditions for long periods as the rain is not easily absorbed into the ground. While ducks offer many advantages over hens, they must be given a greater quantity of food, especially if regular eggs are 49 . An adult duck will eat between 170 to 200 grams of food a day. If the ducks live near grass and a pond, they will be able to find for themselves approximately 70% of their daily dietary requirements in warmer months but less than half that in colder times. Therefore, it is important that they be 50 onenough food, such as grain, every day.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A 來源:中教網(wǎng)Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Scientists fear rising energy bills may lead to an increase in obesity after discovering a link between poorly-heated homes and higher body fat.Researchers from the University of Stirlings Behavioral Science Centre 51 to explore claims that warm indoor temperatures have 52 increasing obesity levels in winter. Instead, the team found that people who live in 53 homes are more likely to have low body mass index (BMI) levels while those who keep their heating 54 or off tend to be heavier. Dr Michael Daly, behavioral scientist and senior lecturer, said: “We come on to investigate the scientific claims that cooler indoor temperatures help us to 55 a healthy weight by pushing our bodies to consume more 56 through shivering and generating heat through tissues.” In fact, the research suggests people may eat less and 57 more energy when living in a warmer indoor environment. The 13-year study, published in the journal Obesity, 58 more than 100,000 adults across England. Researchers found 59 weight levels among people living in homes heated to above 23C (73F), which accounted for about 15,000 of the households studied. Dr Daly said: “As national gas bills continue to rise faster than the rate of inflation(通貨膨脹), this research suggests the 60 of obesity could worsen where heating dropped below 61 levels or off for lengthy periods to cut costs. “This is not just about people who live in warm enough homes being in the 62 position to afford more expensive low-calorie foods, exercise classes and sporting activities. 63 , they find it easier to stay at a low BMI level. The study took age, gender, social class and other factors into account. “The comfortable surrounding temperature of 20.3-23C is where we feel comfortable in our 64 and are neither hot nor cold. At temperatures above this, we consume more energy and we eat less because our 65 is taken away.” 51.A. set upB. set out C. set offD. set about52.A. contributed to來源:中#教#網(wǎng)z#z#s#tepB. devoted to C. resulted fromD. differed from53.A. well-heatedB. well-designedC. well-organizedD. well-decorated54.A. turned onB. turned outC. turned upD. turned down55.A. stayB. drainC. maintain來源:z+zs+D. preserve56.A. energyB. strengthC. powerD. muscle57.A. exploreB. exhaustC. exploitD. burn58.A. impactedB. involvedC. imposedD. inspired59.A. increasedB. addedC. reducedD. lost60.A. miracleB. existenceC. trendD. delivery61.A. sensitiveB. agreeableC. gracefulD. present62.A. financialB. appropriateC. socialD. defensive63.A.

(A)The composing career of Albert Roussel got off to a disobedient start, and received one of its biggest boosts from a lie.Roussel was orphaned at the age of eight and went to live with his grandfather. He built on the music he had learned from his mother, entertaining himself by reading through the family music collection and playing operatic selections and popular songs on the piano.Three years later Roussels grandfather died, and his mothers sister took him in. Her husband arranged for young Albert to take piano lessons. Summer vacations at a Belgian seaside resort added a second love to his life the sea. He studied to be a naval cadet（軍校學生）, but still made time to study music.In the French Navy, while he was sent to a warship based at Cherbourg, he and two friends found the time to play the piano trios of Beethoven and other composers. Roussel also began composing. At the Church of the Trinity in Cherbourg on Christmas Day 1892, he staged the performance of his Andante（行板樂曲）for the first time as a composer. That success encouraged Roussel to write a wedding march, and one of his fellow naval officers offered to show it to a prominent conductor, Edouard Colonne. When Roussels friend returned with the draft of the march, he reported that Colonne had advised Roussel to give up his naval career and devote his life to music. Not long afterward, at the age of 25, Roussel did just that. He applied the self-discipline, simplicity, and spirituality that he had developed in the navy to his composing and became a major force in twentieth century French music.
