Standing in the middle of a yard crowded with soldiers, Luo Ming, a 31-year-old team leader with the Sichuan Emergency Response Volunteer Group, sees a threat(威胁) nearly as big as the earthquake that struck Western China’s mountainous area on Saturday: too many volunteers.
“The volunteers have created a certain kind of disaster themselves,” he says, obviously tired due to no sleep in 48 hours. “There are more volunteers than there are earthquake victims. They have no place to sleep, and nothing to eat, and most of them have no experience or training. \
Mr Luo is in charge at the volunteer registration (登记) tent at the town centre of Long men, where the earthquake has left thousands of people without shelter, food and water for three days. He has registered more than 500 volunteers, but he has turned even more than that away. “For some people, the biggest help that they can do for disaster areas is go back where they came from safely,” he says.
Authorities are trying to make sure that no more volunteers show up. Beijing announced a ban on private volunteers and civil society groups entering the disaster area for the time being, and several universities in Sichuan issued notices to their students asking them not to travel to the earthquake areas, encouraging them to donate blood instead.
One of the reasons for the government's decision is transportation difficulty: large rescue vehicles and heavy car traffic makes the roads impassable. On one stretch between Long men and Taiping, traffic was so bad on Sunday morning that an injured woman was taken out of her ambulance, which was stuck in traffic, and carried by her husband on his back to seek medical attention.
56．Which of the following is true of Luo Ming according to the passage? A. He is a soldier. B. He is in his forties. C. He is overworking. D. He has nothing to eat.
57．How many volunteers has Mr Luo received so far? A. 48.
B. 800.
C. 500.
D. Over 1000.
58．Why are more volunteers banned from entering the disaster areas? A. They cannot give any help at all. C. They refuse to donate their blood.
B. They bring more trouble than help. D. They make the earthquake even worse.
59．The man had to carry his injured wife on his back to find a doctor because ____. A. the ambulance she had been in was stuck in traffic
B. her injure was too serious for her to be carried in any vehicle C. a road accident made it impossible for the ambulance to go on D. he thought it the best way to carry her dear wife 60．What's the best title for the news item? A. Quake Left Thousands Homeless B. Quake Volunteers Create Challenge C. Luo Ming, a Hard-working Team Leader D. Transportation difficulty in Disaster Areas

There may be no more rewarding family activity than reading stories aloud. Besides providing hours of relaxing, educational fun, the act of sharing stories is certainly a child’s first step on the road to becoming a lifelong reader. But what to read? The library is full of wonderful books, but which ones are appropriate for your children? And where on earth can you find stories of exactly the right length, suited to a child’s short attention period and designed to fit into those precious minutes before sleep-time?

And there’s so much more between these covers.

A euphemism (from the Greek words eu - well and pheme - speak) is a word or expression that is used when people want to find a polite or less direct way of talking a- bout difficult or embarrassing topics like death or the bodily functions. Most people, for example, would find it very difficult to say in plain language that they have arranged for their sick old dog to be killed. They would soften the pain by saying: We had Ruby put down or We had Ruby put to sleep. Many people prefer to call someone plain than ugly, or cuddly rather than fat.
Euphemisms are an important part of every language, but it seems that English has an ever-growing number of them. The non-native speaker not only has to make sense of the euphemisms he hears, he also has to learn which euphemisms are appropriate in any particular situation. He might be aware that his American friend needs to use the toilet when she asks where the bathroom (or restroom, or comfort station) is, but he is less likely to guess that his English friend has the same need when he says he has to see a man about a dog. He might have learned,
D. parents
for example, that in the family way is a euphemism for pregnant If, however, he says to his boss, “Congratulations! I hear your wife is in the family way,” he would be using an expression that is too familiar for the circumstances.
Schools are full of euphemisms. At Frankfurt International School, for example, the special lessons given to students who are having difficulties in their school subjects are called Study Center (in the middle school) and Academic Workshop (in the high school). Teachers rightly do not want to upset students or parents by being too frank or straightforward, and usually choose a softer word or expression to convey the same message.
66. According to the passage, people use euphemisms in order to______. A. make themselves understood C. to sound straightforward
B. avoid embarrassment D. attract attention
67. A person who is described as plain and cuddly is in fact______. A. tall and handsome C. ugly but tall
B. pretty and slim D. ugly and fat
68. When an English lady says she has to see a man about a dog, she might want to______. A. have her old dog killed C. go to the toilet
B. see an ugly friend D. see a pregnant woman
69. The main purpose of Paragraph 2 is to______.
A. stress that euphemisms are an important part of every language B. inform readers that English has an ever-growing number of euphemisms C. suggest non-native speakers use euphemisms as often as possible
D. warn English learners to be careful about the meaning and use of euphemisms
70. At Frankfurt International School, the students who receive lessons in Study Center______.
A. have poor grades in the subjects C. work hard at their lessons
B. do well in school D. prefer to learn more D
An alcohol breath test (ABT) is often used by the police to find out whether a person is drunk while driving. In the United States, the legal blood alcohol limit is 0.08% for people aged 21 years or older, while people under 21 are not allowed to drive a car with any level of alcohol in their body. A “positive” test result, a result over the legal limit, allows the police to arrest the driver. However, many people who tested positive on the test have claimed that they only drank a “non-alcoholic” energy drink. Can one of these energy drinks really cause someone to test positive on an ABT? Researchers in Missouri set up an experiment to find out.
First, the amount of alcohol in 27 different popular energy drinks was measured. All but one
had an alcohol level greater than 0.005%. In nine of the 27 drinks, the alcohol level was at least 0.096%. The scientists then investigated the possibility that these small levels of alcohol could be discovered by an ABT. They asked test subjects to drink a full can or bottle of an energy drink and then gave each subject an ABT one minute and 15 minutes after the drink was finished.
For 11 of the 27 energy drinks, the ABT did find the presence of alcohol if the test was given within one minute after the drink was taken. However, alcohol could not be discovered for any of the drinks if the test was given 15 minutes after the drink was consumed. This shows that when the test is taken plays an important role in the test result. The sooner the test is conducted after the consumption of these drinks, the more likely a positive alcohol reading will be obtained.
71. What is the legal alcohol level for a 20-year-old driver in the US? A. 0.000%.
B. 0.005%.
C. 0.080%.
D. 0.096%.
72. What is the purpose of the Missouri experiment?
A. To introduce a new method of calculating blood alcohol levels. B. To discover the relation between energy drinks and ABT test results. C. To warn people of the dangers of drinking energy drinks.
D. To change the current legal alcohol limit for drivers in the United States. 73. The underlined word “subjects” in Paragraph 2 refers to ______. A. the things that are being discussed C. the participants in an experiment
B. areas of knowledge studied in school D. the people who belong to a country
74. Which of the following affects the ABT test result most for energy drink consumers? A. The age of the person who takes the test B. The place where the test is given. C. The equipment that the test uses. D. The time when the test is taken.
75. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. A driver whose blood alcohol level is found to be 0.1% will be arrested. B. No energy drinks really cause anyone to test positive on an ABT. C. Few popular energy drinks contain alcohol in them.
D. Those taking an ABT 15 minutes after drinking alcohol cannot be found out.

第一节阅读表达（共5小题；第小题3分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意76、78和80题后的词数要求）。
［1］In ancient Greece, there was a great philosopher named Socrates. One day one fellow
met him and said, “Do you know what I just heard about your friend?”
［2］“_____________,” Socrates replied. “Before telling me anything I'd like you to pass a little test It’s called the Triple Filter Test(三重筛选测试).”.
［3］“Triple filter?”
［4］“That’s right,” Socrates continued. “Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter(过滤) what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?” ［5］“No,” the man said, “actually I just heard about it and...”.
［6］“A11 right,\filter, the filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?” .
［7］“No, on the contrary... ”
［8］“So,” Socrates continued, “you want to tell me something bad about him, but you're not certain it's true. You may still pass the test though, because there's one filter left; the filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?”
［9］“No, not really. ” ［10］“Well,”
concluded Socrates, “if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good
nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?”
Lesson:
［11］You can always participate in loose talks when you feel bored. But when it comes to your friends it’s not worth it. Always avoid talking behind the back about your near and dear friends.
