Even the word for “tea” in many languages around the world comes from different changes of the Chinese word “茶”. Chinese tea can be classified into 5 kinds. Green tea is perhaps the most natural, with no fermentation (发酵) of the leaves. Longjing, Maofeng and Biluochun are the most famous varieties. Black tea, known in China as red tea, is fermented before being baked. This is the kind of tea most commonly drunk in the West. Wulong tea is a variety half way between green and black teas, being made after partial fermentation. It is a specialty (特产) from southeast China, particularly Fujian, Guangdong and Taiwan. Compressed tea are teas that have been, of course, compressed and hardened into a certain shape. These are often called brick tea. We will learn a bit about this when we visit Inner Mongolia. Finally, we have flower tea. This kind of tea is made by adding flowers or other fragrances in with the tea. Jasmine (茉莉花) tea is perhaps the most famous. Tea has been one of the daily necessities in China for thousands of years, and has spread to be enjoyed by people around the world. 36.The passage is mainly about______.A. the history of Chinese teaB. the making of Chinese teaC. a general introduction of Chinese teaD. the spread of Chinese tea37.The difference between Biluochun and Wulong tea is that______A. Biluochun is fermented while Wulong tea is partly fermented.B. Biluochun is partly fermented while Wulong tea is fermented.C. Biluochun is partly fermented while Wulong tea is not fermented.D. Biluochun is not fermented while Wulong tea is partly fermented.38. The underlined word “fragrances” means______. A. 香料 B. 调味料 C. 配料 D. 辅料39. What can we conclude from the passage?A. The word “tea” in many languages around the world means just the same.B. Tea is spread from China to other parts of the world.C. People in Taiwan only like to drink Wulong tea.D. Longjin is green.B★★South Africa’s first black president Nelson Mandela is to become a comic strip hero（漫画男主角）in a new project aimed at encouraging young people to read, his charity foundation said.“We are using comics to get across the message and the values of Mr. Mandela,” John Samuel, chief executive of the Nelson Mandela Foundation, said Thursday. One million copies of each of the seven comic strips describing Mandela’s life will be distributed in newspapers and schools across South Africa as part of events celebrating the ex-president’s 87th birthday on July 18.“Comics are an extremely useful way of bringing young people into reading,” said Samuel. “Comics in fact are a very powerful tool for introducing literature and various aspects of reading to young people.”“And this is our goal here,” he told a news conference.Samuel dismissed a suggestion that the world’s most respected statesman should not be reduced to a comic figure. “It would take a lot more than comics to demean (贬低) his stature,” said Samuel. “That’s the least of our problems.”Mandela is to spend his 87th birthday with his wife Graca Machel, the wife of former Mozambican president Samora Machel, his three daughters, grand-children and great-grandchildren, at his home in the Eastern Cape village of Qunu.40.Which of the following is NOT the purpose of the project?

The story opens with the birth of a son to Mr. Dombey, the wealthy head of the shipping house of Dombey and Son, and the death of Mrs. Dombey who fails to survive the childbirth. Dombey loves his little son Paul very much because the boy can succeed to the family business, while his daughter Florence cannot. Paul is sent to Dr. Blimer’s school where he is given a strict education, and being a child of poor health, he falls in ill and dies at last. Dombey then has a second marriage which turns out to be a bargain (交易) for both sides concerned. Edith Granger，the second wife，is beautiful but poor and proud. Dombey gives her social position and wealth and expects her to give him a son in return. Edith shows great love for Florence but Dombey interrupts and separates the two, and then Edith runs away to France with Carker, Dombey’s manager. This is followed by business failures for Dombey, but the novel winds up in a “happy” ending when Dombey, having lost his wealth, his son and his wife and living in solitude (孤独), is comforted by the return of his daughter Florence who is now married to an employee of his firm, Walter Gay.44.Why does Mr. Dombey marry Edith Granger?

A. his second wife’s running away B. his son’s death C. his daughter’s marriage D. not mentioned in the passageD★★★BOSTON (Reuters) - Climate change could be slowed by burying greenhouse gases blamed for global warming deep below the ocean floor under thick, cold sediment （沉积物）） that would trap it for thousands of years, said a team of Harvard-led scientists.The seafloor along the U.S. east and west coast is vast enough to store almost unlimited carbon dioxide emissions from U.S. coal-fired plants, said Daniel Schrag, director of Harvard's Center for the Environment."It would make coal a green fuel," he said in a telephone interview with Reuters.Carbon dioxide released by burning fossil fuels is the main gas blamed for pushing up world temperatures. Many scientists say the buildup could trigger more floods, droughts, powerful storms, heat waves and rising world sea levels. Schrag's team at Harvard and researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Columbia University propose capturing carbon dioxide from power plants, liquefying （液化） the gas, pumping it about 2 miles under water and then injecting it below the sea floor.Many governments and firms are already exploring ways to pump carbon dioxide under land or directly into the sea -- a process known as carbon sequestration（没收） -- to meet emissions caps set by the U.N.'s Kyoto Protocol for 35 industrial nations.But such schemes will only help if the gas stays below the ground or the sea for hundreds of years, and studies and experiments to date indicate it may eventually leak.Schrag said burying the gas under seafloor sediments of sand, silt and clay hundreds of meters (feet) thick at depths of 3,000 meters (9,800 ft) and very low temperatures would guarantee it would stay denser than the water above."The only place it can leak is deeper down," he said. 48. What is the text mainly about?A. Scientists urge deep-sea cure for climate change. B. What is to blame for climate change. C. A new way to reduce the effect of carbon dioxide. D. Possibilities and difficulties of burying greenhouse gases.49. From the text, we can know that ____________.A. coal is not a main fuel in the US and so not much Carbon dioxide is releasedB. the US burns a lot of coal but it has been made a green fuelC. most of the carbon dioxide released by burning fossil fuels in the US has been buriedD. the US burns a lot of coal and a lot of greenhouse gases are released50. Why does Schrag think of the way of burying greenhouse gases in deep sea floor?A. He thinks it will work but still has some worries.B. Although the gas may leak, it will not cause any damage.C. It won’t work well unless the problem of leaking is solved.D. He thinks it may leak and cause damage to the deep ocean life. 51. What does the underlined word “caps” mean in the passage? A. demands B. protective coverings C. upper limits D. documents E★★★New mothers should hold their naked babies next to their skin for the first hour after birth so they can bond together, says a leading midwife（助产士）. The 'golden hour' helps calm the baby, build up resistance to infection and get breastfeeding off to a good start. Dr Mary Price, a lecturer in midwifery at the University of Salford, said women should resist attempts by hospital staff to 'whisk away' the baby shortly after the birth, especially after having a Caesarean section. Although it is common practice to allow mother and baby 10 minutes together skin-to-skin, it's not long enough to give them time to get the bonding process underway, she said. She said 'I would like midwives throughout the UK to learn the benefits of leaving the baby with its mother for much longer. 'It's important to have an immediate assessment of the baby's condition after birth - but an experienced midwife can do that simply by looking at them, without taking the child away. I've known situations where the baby has been taken away because it needs help with breathing. But the baby goes from extremely anxious-looking to a rosebud pink within minutes once they are taken back into the mother's arms.' She believes mothers need to be given more information on the importance of skin-to-skin contact for calming the baby and building up resistance to infection. Babies have a 'primitive urge' to find food and naturally head for the breast if left long enough, she told Nursing Standard magazine. The hour after birth can also shape a child's emotions and there should be no rush to clean it up, she added. Dr Price's methods have been routinely adopted at Rochdale Infirmary and she hopes they will become known nationwide. 52. Dr Mary Price holds the view that ________________.A. hospital staff should take away the baby shortly after the birthB. women should refuse to have their babies taken away after the birthC. women should insist on having their babies with them after the birthD. women should find ways to calm their babies shortly after the birth53. Which of the following is not among the benefits of newly-born babies staying with their mothers? A. Having less chance of infection. B. Getting the bonding process underway. C. Getting calm. D. Starting breastfeeding sooner.54. When a baby returns to its mother’s arms after getting breathing, the baby ____________.A. still remains anxious B. soon becomes relaxed and calms down C. will breathe more normally D. will shape its emotions55. We can learn from the passage that Dr Price's methods ___________. A. have been widely accepted B. are against the common practice C. have caught nationwide attention D. are based on careful assessment第三部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节 短文改错 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)In common with many countries, Britain has serious environment problems. 56. ____In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because the smog.

Some students think it’s necessary to have foreign teachers because it can provide us with a better opportunity to learn English. We can practice spoken English with native speakers and improve our language abilities. Moreover, it can make us more interested in the English language. We can learn more about some foreign customs and culture. On the contrary, some other students are strongly against the idea. They think the most important thing for us is to be admitted into universities. However, having a foreign teacher seems to be no good to improve the academic achievements. And it may cause some trouble while communicating with them as there is culture diversity. What is worse, it costs a lot of money to employ foreign teachers.Anyway you are Principal. We believe you will make a wise decision.Best wishes. Yours sincerely, Li Hua |
