Part I Reading comprehension (60 marks, 60 minutes) Section A Format I
Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1.(2’*20=40 marks) Passage One
Question 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
The moment two humans lay eyes on each other has incredible. The first sight of you is a brilliant holograph. It burns its way into your new acquaintance’s eyes and can stay printed in his or her memory forever.
Artists are sometimes able to capture this quicksilver, short emotional response. I have a friend, Robert Grossman, an accomplished artist who draws regularly for Forbes, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone, and other popular publications. Bob has a unique gift for capturing not only the physical appearance of his subjects, but zeroing in on the essence of their personalities. The bodies and souls of hundreds of figures radiate from his sketch pad（素描侧）. One glance at his pictures of famous people, you can see, for instance, the insecure of arrogance of Madonna, the boyishness of Clinton, the awkwardness of George Bush.
Sometimes at a party, Robert will do a quick sketch on a cocktail napkin of a guest. When he’s finished drawing, he puts his pen down and hands a napkin to the guest. Often a puzzled look comes over the subject’s face. He or she usually mumbles some politeness like, “Well, er, that’s great. But it really isn’t me.” The crowd’s convincing echo of “Oh yes it is!” drowns down the subject, who is left to stare back at the world’s view of himself or herself in the napkin. Once I asked Robert how he could capture people’s personalities so well. He said, “It’s simple. I just look at them.” Almost every fact of people’s personalities is evident from their appearance, their posture, the way they move.
First impressions are indelible. Because in our fast-paced information-overload world, multiple stimuli bombard us every second, people’s heads are spinning. They must form quick judgments to make sense of the world and
. .
get on with what they have to do. Whenever people meet you, they take an instant mental snapshot. That image of you becomes the data they deal with for a long time. 1. People usually get the first impression of a person through ______. A. reading an article about him or her in a famous magazine B. getting acquainted with his or her beat friends C. taking a brief look at his or her appearance D. studying his or her personality carefully

B. He can memorize the names of people instantly C. He can illustrate the subject’s characteristic

C. the artist failed to show his respect for the subject D. the image of the drawing was too real to believe 5. We can conclude from the passage that ______.
A. one should never trust a person by his or her appearance B. the first impression usually has a long lasting influence
C. the judgment based on the first impression is always reliable D. we can no longer make any sense of the information an hand
Passage Two
Question 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
My dad was a plumber for the public works department in our town, so from time to time he came into my school. Can you imagine sitting in class and seeing your dad peek through the door of your classroom and wave at you? In junior high?
One girl in our class always made fun of me because my dad was a plumber and hers was a lawyer, and she would say things like, “that is gross!” I must admit I was sometimes embarrassed by what my dad did, especially in my early teens, when the only thing I really cared about was what the other girls thought.
The girl lived a few streets away from us, and a winter day---the day her elder sister got married---the toilet in their main upstairs bathroom cracked and there was water everywhere. Her father called every plumber in the yellow book but nobody would come out because of the major snowstorm. His daughter told her father that my father was a plumber, and he called. My dad went over and took me with him(maybe he was hoping that the lawyer’s daughter would be nicer to me.)
My father fixed the toilet, helped to clean up everything, and didn’t take a dime for the trouble. But as we were leaving, he told the girl “If I ever need
. .
a lawyer, I’ll be happy to call your dad.”
As we walked to our car, he said to me, “Do you believe he didn’t know where the main shut-off valve was? What a dumb ass!”
From that point on, her dad was known in school as Attorney Dumb Ass.
When my husband and I bought our house, the first thing my dad showed him was the main shut-off valve.
I have always been proud to say that I’m a plumber’s daughter.

Passage Three
Question 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
Imagine a guitar so tiny that you can’t see it with the human eye, but you can hear sound when its strings are pulled. Some people say the future is big, but when it comes to technology, the world is getting smaller.
Nanotechnology(纳米技术)is the science that deals with doing things in a very small way, and it is being studied and developed all over the world. Micro-machines too small to been seen by the eye are being designed to do many things. And these machines no larger than in diameter than a human hair, are extremely powerful. Many scientists say nanotechnology will produce the next industrial revolution(工业革命).
Nano comes from the Greek word dwarf. A nanometer is one-billion of a meter, The period of the end of this sentence can contain about 100 micrometers, which in equal to 100,000 nanometers. To understand this new technology, we have to get rid of the normal ideas of size and strength.
Minute( 微 小 的 ) robots , called “nanorobots” are being developed in the revolutionize manufacturing. Instead of cars being produced on assembling line, for example, scientist predict that cars can be built in a giant container into which raw material and machines have been placed. Thousands of nanorobots will direct the process and tell the machine what to do. Micro-machines can also be used to make our environment safer. Today, poison chemicals are stored in containers or transported by trucks or trains. This is sometimes result in
. .
dangerous spills. But with nanotechnology, manufacturers could have their own tiny chemical factories. The produce would be no bigger than a sugar cube and would manufacture exactly the amount of chemicals needed at the moment. No chemicals would need to be stored. The workplace would be safer, and the environment would be cleaner.

D. describe the craft of making musical instruments
12. According to the passage, why does the nanotechnology lead to the next industrial revolution?

13. The word dwarf in Pra.3 is closest in meaning to ______? A. clever B. slow C. quick D. minute
14. With nanotechnology, where will cars probably be produced ______? A. On assemble line B. In huge containers
C. Inside the micro-machines D. Inside the nanorobots
15. Which of the following is NOT the causes leading to cleaner environment by adopting nanotechnology?
A. There will be less dangerous spills.
B. The amount of produced chemicals can be precisely controlled. C. Micro-factories need not store chemicals. D. The factories will be of large size.
Passage Four
Question 15 to 20 are based on the following passage:
When Caroline heard the phone ring late in the evening, she knew it was something important. She listened as a park ranger explained the situation. Seven children were lost in the Pennsylvania wildness. Caroline pulled on the red jacket that said Rescue on it and called on her dog, Aly, a shepherd.

A dictionary contains a definition of friendship somewhere in the F’s between the words “fear” and “Friday”. An encyclopedia supplies interesting facts on friendship. But all the definitions and facts do not convey what friendship is really all about. 21__________ It is an experience that involves all the senses.
22______________ It is seen in an old couple sitting in the park holding hands, It is the way they touch, a touch as light as a leaf floating in the autumn air, a touch so strong that years of living could not pull them apart. Friendship is seen in a child freely sharing the last cookie. It is the small arm over the shoulder of another as they walk on the playground. Seeing friendship is not casual. It is watching for subtlety, but friendship is there for eyes that can see.
