8、er I had ever seen ! _38_ , I had been told the hotel was not beautiful but that you were better _39_ there than in any other hotel; and that was _40_ I wanted just then. The waiter came hurrying up. Before I came downstairs I had prepared _41_ carefully for what I must _42_. I had looked three time

9、s in my dictionary to make sure _43_ “breakfast” really meant “breakfast”. I had tried to get the right _44_ and I had stood in the front of a mirror and twisted my mouth until it ached. The waiter asked me _45_ I could not understand, but I spoke only my one prepared word “breakfast”. He looked at

10、me in a _46 way. so I repeated it. Still he did not understand. It was _47_ that English people didnt understand their language.

16、解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。AEvery kid wishes to be an adult. But now as grown-ups, some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind. They become "kidults" (kid+adult). Being a kidult has become a lifestyle-choice among young people across Asia.Som

17、e kidults collect toys they once played with. Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world. It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Garfield-shaped cushion on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory. Other kidults still enjoy children's stori

18、es and fairy tales. For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover. That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children's book!"Kidults can be like vitamins to society. Adults who value their childhood and hold on to

19、 pure, child-like emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society," said Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at Hankuk University(韓國外國語大學(xué)). He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids. It could give children and their parents books, movies, and ca

20、rtoon shows to enjoy together. He may be right.Tim Greenhalgh,a professor,explained that some kidults just refuse to grow up. They value childhood because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them. Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.56.

21、We can infer from the article that _.A. Kidults miss their childhood so much that they can't give up their toysB. Bloomsbury knows some kidults don't want people to know that they are kidultsC. Kidults like to have vitamins very muchD. Some toys are so interesting that even adults like them

22、very much57. According to the author, being a kidult is good in some way except that _.A. it can improve the relationship between parents and their kidsB. it can help kidults feel relaxedC. it is helpful to solve some social problemsD. it can make people loyal to one's parents58. According to th

23、e writer, _.A. being a kidult is nothing wrong B. kidults have mental problemsC. our society is very dull D. some people can never grow upBIf women are mercilessly exploited(剝削) year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothe

24、s that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend large sum

25、s of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time changing their old-fashioned dresses. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim that the fa

26、shion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with necessary things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomf

27、ort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or picking her way through deep snow in high heeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions

28、to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and

29、 reliability(穩(wěn)定耐用)? That is for you to decide.59. Designers and big stores always make money_. A. by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry B. because they are capable of predicting new fashions C. by constantly changing the fashions in women's clothing D. because they att

30、ach great importance to quality in women's clothing60. To the writer, the fact that women change their old-fashioned dresses is seen as _. A. a waste of money B. a waste of time C. an expression of taste D. an expression of creativity61. New fashions in clothing are created for _. A. the commerc

31、ial exploitation of women B. the women's strength of character C. basic qualities of inconstancy and instability D. an important contribution to society62. By saying "the conclusions to be drawn are obvious" ( Line One to Line Two, Paragraph Four), the writer means that _. A. women'

32、;s inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at B. women are better able to put up with discomfort C. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers D. men are more reasonable in the matter of fashionCWhile football fans feel strongly angry and shocked about mistakes made by refe

33、rees (裁判) because they cannot see clearly what has happened, a small German company is quietly pleased. For Cairos Technologies, mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy. The company has developed a tiny chip(芯片) that fits inside a football and determines whether t

34、he ball has crossed the goal line, by being able to discover its exact location on the field. The world football organization, FIFA, has shown interest in the technology. It is very possible that the new technology will be used in the 2006 World Cup in Germany."We've been testing the techno

35、logy at the main soccer stadium in Nuremberg for some time and more recently in an under-17 FIFA Cup in Peru," said Gunter Rohmer, a director of the company. "The technology has performed well, and we're pretty optimistic that it will be used at the games in Germany next year."The

36、 chip only weighs 12 grams, and is placed in the center of the football. It sends 2,000 signals a second to a receiver network of 12 antennas(天線),placed around the field. The receivers then send information about the ball's location to a central computer, and because it works in real time, it ca

37、n immediately tell the referee whether a goal has been scored. The chip even can tell when the ball crosses the line in mid-air. Oliver Braun, one of the inventors of the chip, says that feedback from German referees was generally positive. Germany sports-wear giant Adidas is also optimistic about u

38、sing this kind of chip in other ball sports.FIFA aims to test the technology later this year at another game in Japan before deciding whether or not to introduce it in all 12 stadiums in Germany for next year's World Cup.63. Carlos Technologies is pleased because _. A. football fans are angry wi

39、th referees B. their new product can satisfy football fans C. their new product will have a good market D. they can sell a lot of football in the future64. In the first sentence in Paragraph 2,". mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy" means _. A. Carlo

40、s Technologies can't afford the high price for advertising their product B. Mistakes in production are also a kind of advertisement C. Carios Technologies has already spent a lot of money on advertising their product D. Referees' mistakes will be of great help for the sale of Carlos Technolo

41、gies' new product65. The underlined word "feedback" probably means _. A. information given back by a user B. advice given by someoneC. supplying food to customers D. food given back by consumers66. The new product has drawn attention from some _.A. famous people B. referees C. big comp

42、anies D. countriesDLondon-A morning train rides away, across the channel. English kids discuss the Liverpool's football team in a Paris pub.Some Parisians have started to travel to work in London.In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two cities, London and Paris, in A Tale of Two Cit

43、ies. These days, it might be A tale of One City.As there are few jobs at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.Paris, rich in bea

44、uty, is more stylish. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down."For me, the difference is that London is real, alive," said Trevor Wheeler, a financial expert.Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees. "I am French, but I'll stay in London,&#

45、39;' she said.There is, of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. "I think people laugh more in Paris," she said."Both cities have changed beyond recognition," said Larry Collins, an author and sometimes a Londoner.Like most peopl

46、e who know both cities well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably."I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better."But certainly not cheaper.In some parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris.Deciding betwee

47、n London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice.Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don't have to choose."I love Paris, my little neighbourhood, the way I can walk around a centre, but life is too organi

48、zed , "she said. "In London, you can be whoever you want. No one cares."67. It can be inferred that _.A. Paris and London are the two biggest cities in the worldB. in the 19th century, Dickens told his stories in the two citiesC. London and Paris used to be separatedD. Liverpool is a

People can travel to London without a passport.D. People can find any job in London.69. According to this pass

50、age we know that _.A. Parisians enjoy English food more than their ownB. Londoners seldom travel to Paris on holidaysC. both cities have their advantagesD. young people prefer to live in London70.

52、e.Modern scientists believe that humankind, like other animals, evolved(進化) through millions of years of changes and adaptations to the environment and that our most direct evolutionary ancestor was probably an earlier species of the primate(monkey, ape) group. Despite this similarity with other cre

53、atures, however, the evolution of humankind differs from that of other species in one important and unique way.In other species, evolution has led to specialization, both in the species abilities and in its place within the environmental structure. For example, the giraffe is much adapted to feeding

54、 on treetops, but it is also specialized and thus limited to feeding on trees and shrubs. Only with great difficulty can it bend down to graze on the ground. Similarly, the anteater is extremely well adapted to eating ants but is unable to catch or eat other animals. The same is true for countless o

55、ther species.For humankind it is opposite. Our evolution had led to a very generalized ability. Our highly developed intelligence and ability to make and handle tools mean that we can do almost anything. Humans evolved in such a way that we are able to move into every environment on Earth and even into space. No natural competitor offers gre
