If you want to find out a piece of information about anything , the best place to search for it is Wikepedia. This online encyclopedia is written by thousands of people around the world. Anyone can add or change the information if he or she finds it not correct or not well written. In this way, people who know a lot about a certain subject can write about it even if they are not university professors.
What is more, Wikepedia includes articles written in about 235 languages. This fact makes it one of the few websites (网站)on the internet that are truly international. It was started in 2001 by Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wales, as a free online English-language encyclopedia project. By April 2008, over 10 million articles had been put on Wikipedia. A quarter of the articles in English. Wikipedia is also a place where people can find the latest news.
However, Wikipedia has its own problems. There have been many complaints that some of the information on Wikipedia is not accurate and some important subjects are not included. This has arguments between the writers of articles. The people running Wikipedia say that the accuracy of the information is improving and that it is one of the top 20 visited websites on the internet.
So, if are looking for some information, why not try Wikipedia?

For many people, having your own business sounds like the perfect job. You can do work that you love. You can set your own timetable, and wear jeans to work. You never have to __80__ a boss, and you make all decisions yourself. You can even raise your salary any time you want.
But the reality is different. “Having your own business can be __81__,” says David Paik. After working for an advertising agency for six years, he started a website design business at home. His income in the first two months was $0. __82__, he got a big project creating a website for a magazine. Then he had a new problem: his timetable. “I was working twelve hours a day, seven days a week, because I didn’t have employees to help me.” Today, Paik Web Design is successful, but David says, “I really wasn’t prepared to be a business owner. I didn’t __83__ the difficulty.”
With no boss, it’s easy to take too much time off—and get too little work done. With no workmates, you might feel bored or __84__. You have to pay for your own holidays. If you make a bad business decision, you could lose all the money. For all of these reasons, more than half of all new businesses fail within one year.
Another problem is balancing work with personal life. As a business owner, you can’t just stop at 5 p.m. and forget about your work until tomorrow. “Even when I’m watching TV in the evening, I’m always thinking about my __85__ and projects,” says David Paik.
Still, hundreds of people around the world start business every day, and most enjoy the experience. “There are lots of advantages to having your own business,” says Denise Williams, the owner of a women’s clothing store. “You can decide exactly how to do your work, how much money you want to make, and who will work for you.”

D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)：（12分）
One of my earliest and most unforgettable experiences was the day my father took me to see my first football match. I was nine years old and crazy about football. All my friends at schools had been to see their favourite teams but I had never been to see a live(现场的) game.
“You’re not old enough,” my father said when I asked him to take me. But all my friends had gone. In the playground we talked about our favourite players and discussed how well we thought they would do on Saturday. I knew everything about them, but I had never actually seen them play.
Then one cold and bright winter morning my father told me to get dressed in warm clothes and hat and to get ready to go out later in the morning. “Where are we going, Dad?” I asked. “You’ll see,” is all he replied.
We drove in the car for hours, it seemed. I did not know where we were going and I finally fell asleep in the car. The next thing I knew my father was shaking me awake and telling me to got out. I found myself outside a tall round building and from behind wall I could hear a huge noise.
We walked around the corner and I saw the largest number of people I had ever seen, all pushing their way through huge iron gates into the building---a football stadium.
“Here we are,” said Dad cheerfully.
“Where are we, Dad?” I asked. “This is the home of the Chester City football team,” Dad answered. “I first came here when I was a young boy to see this team. I thought you would like to see them too.”
The next two hours passed like a dream. I watched the players kick and shoot the ball, and I shouted and cheered along with the other people near me. When one of the Chester players kicked a goal, we all cheered. That was the only score of the game. Our team had won.
I was so excited that on Monday morning at school I couldn’t stop telling everyone what had happened. It was an unforgettable experience. And even today I am still the fan of Chester City Football Club!
93. The writer had an unforgettable experience at the age of nine, didn’t he?
94. What did the writer look forward to at that time?
95. Where did the writer and his father go one winter morning?
96. Did they go there by bus or by car?
97. Which team won the game that day?
98. How did the writer show his excitement about his experience?

Section B
Directions: 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.
There are more than almost two million cars on the streets of Shanghai. That’s not a big number _41_ to the city’s population of 23 million, but everyone agrees that traffic is a big problem here. And many people would argue that it’s not the number of cars on the road, but the _42_ of the drivers that is the main cause of concern.
According to one survey, 37% of Shanghai drivers have less than three years of driving experience. Many of these drivers are middle-aged and have never operated machinery more _43_ than a washing machine. On the road, they drive fast when they should drive slow, _44_ use turn signals, and make right turns on red lights without stopping first. And in the past year, there have been several incidents that resulted in pedestrian deaths when _45_ drivers mistook the gas pedal for the brake (刹车)pedal.
There are new regulations _46_ at making it more difficult for people to get a driver’s license, but that is only a partial solution to Shanghai’s traffic problems. What is really needed is a _47_ in drivers’ attitudes. There seems to be a lack of concern for safety on the part of drivers: their own safety and the safety of others. You can see this every day as drivers change lanes aggressively and _48_ pedestrians at crosswalks and intersections.
A car is a great convenience, but it can also be a _49_ weapon. Drivers will have to realize that before Shanghai’s streets can become truly safe. III. Reading Comprehension (50%)
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passages 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.
German universities, known for their excellence throughout the world in the early part of the 20th century, are in a state of decline, according to Michael Burda, an American economics professor at Berlin’s Humholdt University．
Burda claims that Germany’s 300 schools of learning are being hurt by ―a long-time shortage of general ．
―No statistic（统计数字）makes this more evident than a low proportion of young Germans actually university-level degrees,‖ he says．
Only 22 per cent of German students aged 24-34 complete their university studies．That’s compared to 31 percent in the UK, and 39 percent in the US, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development （OECD）．
One reason for the decline is that Germany spends barely 1．1 per cent of its gross product（GDP）on higher education, compared to 2．6 percent in the US．
― A central reason why so few Germans university degrees here is the deterioration（下降/退化）in the of education．This certainly comes from the rise in the number of students per teacher．Those who have the will and the means often study ,‖ he said．
Since the 1960s, more than 90 percent of German higher education has been publicly supported．Famous universities are still public institutions, by federal and regional governments．
Private funding of universities is in Germany．This comes from the country’s lack of a donating tradition and rules limiting the amounts of tax-free donations．
But now there signs that may be changing． Professor Dieter Lenzen, president of Berlin’s Free University, agrees thatmoney has to be spent on higher education．But he disputes Burda’s claim that German universities are in ．
―A decade ago that may have been the , but that was a result of the unsteady situation at the time of
reunification．Now, things have changed for the better,‖ Lenzen said．

Section B
Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
The Internet has led to a huge increase in credit-card fraud. Your card information could even be for sale in an illegal Web site.Web sites offering cheap goods and services should be regarded with care. On-line shoppers who enter their credit-card information may never receive the goods they bought.The thieves then go shopping with your card number or sell the information over the Internet.
Computers hackers (黑客) have broken down security systems, raising questions about the safety of cardholder information. Several months ago,25 000 customers of CD Universe, an on-line music retailer(批发商),were not lucky. Their names, addresses and credit-card numbers were posted on a Web site after the retailer refused to pay US $157 828 to get back the information.
Credit-card firms are now fighting against on-line fraud. Master Card is working on plans for Web-only credit card, with a lower credit limit. The card could be used only for shopping on-line.
However, there are a few simple steps you can take to keep from being cheated.
Ask about your credit-card firm's on-line rules: Under British law, cardholders are responsible for the first US $78 of any fraudulent spending.
And shop only at secure sites: Send your credit-card information only if the Web site offers advanced secure system.
If the security is in place, a letter will appear in the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. The Web site address may also start with https://—the extra ―s‖ stands for secure. If in doubt, give your credit-card information over the telephone.
Keep your password safe: Most online sites require a user name and password before placing an order. Treat your passwords with care.
65. What do most people worry about the Internet according to this passage?
A. A lot of stolen credit-cards were sold on the Internet.
B. Fraud on the Internet.
C. Many Web sites are destroyed.
D. Many illegal Web sites are on the Internet.

There are more than almost two million cars on the streets of Shanghai. That’s not a big number F. relative to the city’s population of 23 million, but everyone agrees that traffic is a big problem here. And many people would argue that it’s not the number of cars on the road, but the H. quality of the drivers that is the main cause of concern.
According to one survey, 37% of Shanghai drivers have less than three years of driving
experience. Many of these drivers are middle-aged and have never operated machinery more _ A. complicated than a washing machine. On the road, they drive fast when they should drive slow, _4
B. seldom 4_ use turn signals, and make right turns on red lights without stopping first. And in the past year, there have been several incidents that resulted in pedestrian deaths when _ I. inexperienced drivers mistook the gas pedal for the brake (刹车)pedal.
There are new regulations C. aimed at making it more difficult for people to get a driver’s license, but that is only a partial solution to Shanghai’s traffic problems. What is really needed is a _ E. change in drivers’ attitudes. There seems to be a lack of concern for safety on the part of drivers: their own safety and the safety of others. You can see this every day as drivers change lanes aggressively and _ J. ignore pedestrians at crosswalks and intersections.
A car is a great convenience, but it can also be a _ D. dangerous _ weapon. Drivers will have to realize that before Shanghai’s streets can become truly safe.

German universities, known for their excellence throughout the world in the early part of the th20 century, are in a state of decline, according to Michael Burda, an American economics professor at Berlin’s Humholdt University．
Burda claims that Germany’s 300 schools of learning are being hurt by ―a long-time shortage of general ．
―No statistic（统计数字） makes this more evident than a low proportion of young Germans actually university-level degrees,‖ he says． Only 22 per cent of German students aged 24-34 complete their university studies．That’s compared to 31 percent in the UK, and 39 percent in the US, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development （OECD）．
One reason for the decline is that Germany spends barely 1．1 per cent of its gross product （GDP） on higher education, compared to 2．6 percent in the US． ― A central reason why so few Germansuniversity degrees here is the deterioration （下降/退化） in the 57 of education．This certainly comes from the rise in the number of students per teacher．Those who have the will and the means often study ,‖ he said．
Since the 1960s, more than 90 percent of German higher education has been publicly supported．Famous universities are still public institutions, by federal and regional governments．
Private funding of universities is in Germany．This comes from the country’s lack of a donating tradition and rules limiting the amounts of tax-free donations．
But now there signs that may be changing．
Professor Dieter Lenzen, president of Berlin’s Free University, agrees that money
has to be spent on higher education．But he disputes Burda’s claim that German universities are in ．
―A decade ago that may have been the , but that was a result of the unsteady situation at the time of reunification．Now, things have changed for the better,‖ Lenzen said．

(A)
Last August Susan and forty-two other students got wet and dirty while removing six tons of garbage (25)_____ the river running across their city. (26)_____ cleaned up the river as part of a weeklong environmental camp. Like one in three American rivers, this river is so polluted that it’s unsafe for swimming or fishing. Still, Susan, (27)_____ has just completed her third summer camp on the river cleanup, sees a change in this river. ―Since we started three years ago, the river is getting a lot (28)_____(clean),‖ she says. Environmental scientists praise the teenagers for removing garbage (29)_____ can harm wild life. Water birds, for example, can die of plastic bottle rings and get cut by tiny metals. Three years ago, when the cleanup started, garbage was everywhere. But this year the teenagers can row their boats fast. By the end of the six-hour cleanup, they (30)_____(remove) enough garbage to fill more than two large trucks. ―(31)_____(see) all that garbage in the river makes people begin to care about environmental issues,‖ Susan says. She hopes that when others read that, she and her peers care enough
(32)_____(clean) it up, maybe they would think twice before they throw garbage into the river.
(B)
Dave Fuss lost his job (33)_____(drive) a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years.

Section B
Directions: 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.
Modern inventions have speeded up people’s loves amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, __41__ cross the world inside a day, while computers operate at __42__ speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts of saving __43__ seconds in handling tasks.
All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the __44__ feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind on another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientists; too much use may send harmful radiation into our brains, a __45__ we do not like to think about.
However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to __46__ activities that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the
radio, letting imagination take us into another world.
There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the __47__ of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might __48__ a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestor faced: they __49__ with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern __50__ has freed people from that primitive (原古的) existence.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
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.
It’s believed that intelligent people are better at learning languages. Most language learning skills, __51__, are habits, which can be formed through a bit of discipline and self-awareness. But, some of them are not good enough. Here are the three most common __52__ language learners make and how to correct them.
Not listening enough
There’s a school of language-teaching experts that believe language learning __53__ a ―silent period‖. Just as babies learn to produce language by hearing and parroting sounds, language learners need to practise listening in order to learn. This can develop learned vocabulary and structures, and help learners see patterns in language.
Listening is the communicative skill we use most in daily life, but it can be __54__ to practise unless you live in a foreign country or attend language classes. The solution? Find music, podcasts, TV shows and movies in the __55__ language, and listen, listen, listen, as often as possible.
A single method
Some learners are most comfortable with the listen-and-repeat drills of a language lab. Some need a grammar textbook to __56__ a foreign tongue. Each of these approaches is fine, but it’s a mistake to rely on only one. Language learners who use __57__ methods get to practise different skills and see concepts explained in different ways. What’s more, the __58__ can keep them from working in a situation that never changes. When choosing a class, learners should seek a course that __59__ the four language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking). For self-study, try a __60__ of textbooks, audio lessons, and language learning apps.
__61__
It doesn’t matter how well a person can write in foreign script, or finish a vocabulary test. To learn, improve, and truly use our language, we need to speak. This is the stage when language students should calm down, and feelings of __62__ or insecurity hinder (阻碍) all their hard work. In Eastern cultures where saving face is a strong social value, EFL teachers often complain that

Unlike many of my classmates, my idol (偶像) is not a film star or a famous writer. Neither is he a world leader, nor an important person from . My idol is my dad.
Most people believe that a man should go out and work. However, when I was a baby, I was very ill and needed attention all the time. Since my mother and father both worked, and my grandparents lived very 52 , this was a big problem. My dad knew how much my mum loved her job, so he stopped working to stay at home and look after me.
Many men in this would want their wives to stay with the child, but my dad always thinks about others before himself. My dad 54 took a job and worked at night. He chose the job so that he would only be out of the house when I was sleeping. Ever since then, my dad has helped and me in everything I do. The most important thing he taught me was never to 56 . I remember when I was learning to ride a bike. My dad would run behind me for hours. He held the back of the bicycle so that I would not fall. I felt so because I knew he was near. I did not when he stopped holding me. Soon, I was riding by myself.
My family is not rich, and we do not own a big house or an expensive car. My dad is my idol because he has shown me that the most important things in life are family and love.

I was also nervous before I got here, but once I arrived I soon felt happy. You asked me about the kinds of clothes you should bring.

My mum wanted to make sure that I packed lots of special food so that I would not her Chinese cooking too much. However, there are many different kinds of food in the UK, and I can buy all my favourite foods at small Chinese shops. There are also lots of cheap restaurants near the university.
Another suggestion is to learn how to cook some of your favourite before you come. Chinese food in England very different to the food back home. You can also go to the university canteen—eating with others is a great way to make new friends.
You will probably live in the halls of residence in your first year. People usually have their own room, with a desk, and a bed. The bathrooms and kitchen are usually the corridor(走廊).

Jenny: I was reading a science magazine called Nature yesterday. It had some interesting
articles about life 100 years from now. They talked of many kinds
of medical technologies which would allow people to live to be
110 years old.
Janet: Oh, I wouldn‘t like that at all. I am quite satisfied to live for 70
or 80 years. I don‘t want to live any longer than that. I hate to get
so old that I could not look after myself. As long as I keep fit and
healthy I am happy, but I don‘t want to become old and useless to society.
Jenny: Well, the magazine also talked about other things that will happen in the future. For
example, most people will not travel to work but will communicate online or through video and telephone. Most industries will be operated by robots and controlled by computers. Many people will spend less time at work, but they will spend time doing other things such as looking after their parents.
Janet: That sounds awful as well. I enjoy working and I want to continue to work throughout
my life. I suppose this magazine also talked about technology in the home.
Jenny: Yes, it did. It said it would be possible in the future for everyone to have a home
computer which would do everything for you. For example, it would prepare your food, play music and videos and make videophone calls for you. I would love that! It seems quite certain that wealthy people could have these computers in just a few years‘ time. Janet: At the same time, the poor people will not have enough food to eat and there will not
be enough medicine to keep them healthy. The wonderful future that new medicine and new technology will bring is only for rich people in the rich countries. What will happen to the rest of the world‘
s population? I hope 100 years from now we will have

Directions: 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.
Modern inventions have speeded up people’s loves amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour, __41__ cross the world inside a day, while computers operate at __42__ speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts of saving __43__ seconds in handling tasks.
All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the __44__ feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have been left behind on another time zone. Again, spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientists; too much use may send harmful radiation into our brains, a __45__ we do not like to think about.
However, what do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to __46__ activities that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the
radio, letting imagination take us into another world.
There was a time when some people’s lives were devoted simply to the __47__ of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might __48__ a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestor faced: they __49__ with bare hands, often lived close to hunger, and had to fashion tools from wood and stone. Modern __50__ has freed people from that primitive (原古的) existence.
III. Reading Comprehension
Section A
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.
It’s believed that intelligent people are better at learning languages. Most language learning skills, __51__, are habits, which can be formed through a bit of discipline and self-awareness. But, some of them are not good enough. Here are the three most common __52__ language learners make and how to correct them.
Not listening enough
There’s a school of language-teaching experts that believe language learning __53__ a ―silent period‖. Just as babies learn to produce language by hearing and parroting sounds, language learners need to practise listening in order to learn. This can develop learned vocabulary and structures, and help learners see patterns in language.
Listening is the communicative skill we use most in daily life, but it can be __54__ to practise unless you live in a foreign country or attend language classes. The solution? Find music, podcasts, TV shows and movies in the __55__ language, and listen, listen, listen, as often as possible.
A single method
Some learners are most comfortable with the listen-and-repeat drills of a language lab. Some need a grammar textbook to __56__ a foreign tongue. Each of these approaches is fine, but it’s a mistake to rely on only one. Language learners who use __57__ methods get to practise different skills and see concepts explained in different ways. What’s more, the __58__ can keep them from working in a situation that never changes. When choosing a class, learners should seek a course that __59__ the four language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking). For self-study, try a __60__ of textbooks, audio lessons, and language learning apps.
__61__
It doesn’t matter how well a person can write in foreign script, or finish a vocabulary test. To learn, improve, and truly use our language, we need to speak. This is the stage when language students should calm down, and feelings of __62__ or insecurity hinder (阻碍) all their hard work. In Eastern cultures where saving face is a strong social value, EFL teachers often complain that
