(1)

london — britain awoke on easter monday to a period of mourning for the queen mother, who died over the weekend after a life spanning a century of noisy and evident change. the 101-year-old royal matriarch died in her sleep last saturday with queen elizabeth, her elder and only surviving daughter, at her bedside. for a woman who was one of the best-known figures in britain for more than 80 years — from the era of tinted portraits on tin biscuit boxes and cigarette cards to the age of the internet, the queen mother remained an enigmatic(不可思议的) and elusive(躲避的) figure.

she achieved such a respect through aeons(永世, 亿万年) of, first, fawning and, later, intrusive media fascination, by remaining almost entirely silent. her private thoughts were never paraded(炫耀) in public. what the public saw was a charming and benign elderly lady, adept at winning the admiration of press photographers,

whom she always favoured with a particular smile.

【答案解析】

这是 3 篇新闻报道。第 1 篇是关于英国皇太后死亡的消息；第 2 篇是关于中国发射神舟三号无人飞船的消息；第 3 篇是关于台湾发生 7.5 级强烈地震的消息。

1. c。判断题。皇太后死的时候有其女儿伊利莎白皇后在身边，排除a项；皇太后没有从政，排除b项；皇太后是在睡觉的时候死去的，d项也排除。所以答案选c。

2. d。判断题。从第3段的几个关键词safely?successful 可知a项错误；b项内容在文中没有提及，可排除；而神舟三号为无人飞船，故不会有科学家在太空中做实验，可排除c；既然神舟三号无人飞船已安全着陆，那肯定是已成功发射了。

3. c。主旨题。既然台湾发生了地震，那当然是没有预料到的灾害。a、b、d三项内容离题太远。

the space shuttle columbia flared and broke up in the skies over texas on saturday, february 1,2003, killing the seven astronauts on board in what nasa and president bush called a tragedy for the entire nation. nasa launched an investigation into the disaster and began searching for the astronauts remains. it

said that although there had been some data failures it was too early to nail down a precise cause. the break-up, 16 minutes before the shuttle was due to land at kennedy space center in florida, spread possibly toxic debris(有毒的残骸) over a wide swath of texas and neighboring states.

dramatic television images of the shuttles descent clearly showed several white trails(痕迹) streaking through blue skies after the shuttle suddenly fell apart. it was almost 17 years to the day that the challenger shuttle exploded on jan. 28, 1986, killing all seven astronauts on board.

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应的横线上。

teamwork is just as important in science as it is on the playing field or in the gym. scientific investigations (调查) are almost always carried out by teams of people working together. ideas are shared, experiences are designed, data are analyzed, and results are evaluated and shared with other investigators. group work is necessary, and is usually more productive than working alone. several times throughout the year you may be asked to work with one or more of your

classmates. whatever the task your group is assigned, a few rules need to be followed to ensure a productive and successful experience.

what comes first is to keep an open mind, because everyone’s ideas deserve consideration and each group member can make his or her own contribution. secondly, it makes a job easier to divide the group task among all group members. choose a role on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths. thirdly, always work together, take turns, and encourage each other by listening, clarifying, and trusting one another. mutual support and trust often make a great difference.

activities like investigations are most effective when done by small groups. here are some more suggestions for effective team performance during these activities: make sure each group member understands and agrees to the task given to him or her, and everyone knows exactly when, why and what to do; take turns doing various tasks during similar and repeated activities; be aware of where other group members are and what they are doing so as to ensure safety; be responsible for your own learning, though it is by no means unwise to compare your observations with those of other group members.

when there is research to be done, divide the topic into several areas, and this can explore the issue in a very detailed way. you are encouraged to keep records of the sources used each person, which helps you trace back to the origin of the problems that may happen unexpectedly. a format for exchanging information (e.g. photocopies of notes, oral discussion, etc.) is also important, for a well-chosen method not only strengthens what you present but also makes yourself

easily understood. when the time comes to make a decision and take a position on an issue, allow for the contributions of each member of the group. most important of all, it is always wise to make decisions by compromise and agreement.

after you’ve completed a task with your team, make an evaluation of the team’s effectiveness — the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and challenges.（428）

阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题（请注意问题后的字数要求）。

[1]the word addiction usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs, but in modern-day society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions. some people are compulsive (难以自制的) shoppers. others find it impossible to pull themselves away from their work. still others spend countless hours watching tv or playing computer games

[2]over the years, shopping has become a very common activity. many people enjoy going to malls or stores more and more everyday, but it’s more than a common hobby for some of them. they have turned into shopaholics. they are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it. even though they don’t have enough money, they buy everything they want.

[3]the question is: why do they have this addiction? there isn’t a specific answer. some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely and they want to feel better. they use this activity as a way to forget their problems. shopaholics say that they feel more important and better after they buy something. they also tend to have this addiction when they feel guilty.

[4]shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction, but it can ___________. some of them can be psychological. if this is the case, people addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit. however, the process, like for most addictions, is long, and they suffer 2

a lot. it can also cause financial problems. they just think about satisfying their feelings, so they spend money they don’t have. they get deep in debt, and they can even go bankrupt and get sent to prison.（294）

the causes of eating disorders are not clear. there may be genetic or biochemical factors in some cases. there may be psychological problems from early childhood or the present (such as school or family conflicts) that trigger the problem. often, there is the double pressure to enjoy life through food and yet remain ultra-slim. society all around us encourages eating and drinking as main ways to enjoy life- to be popular, you are supposed to eat. eat, eat

81. but in real life most people, if they keep consuming like that, just keep pulling on more and more weight they then find themselves in conflict with another dominant pressure in society — to stay slim and trim. models in ads, even those shown eating fairy foods, are usually physically lit and quite thin. all of these pressures put teens in a terrible situation. the .solution that some teens choose is to deny themselves all the time so as to keep temptation away. bui soon, hunger and food boredom lead to overeating. over time they develop anorexia or bulimia.

82. once an eating disorder has become firmly established, there is no easy cure. someone whos never suffered anorexia and never known an anorexic might be tempted to think. its simple — just tell them to eat more! unfortunately, its not that simple. even when anorexics have been brought into the hospital and arc receiving physical care, nutritional therapy, and psychiatric care, many dont improve much.

83. our societys obsession with thinness, together with a constant emphasis on the theme that rich food means pleasure, puts many teens in a difficult situation. being drawn to overeating on the one hand and self-denial on the other can bring about anorexia or bulimia — or both. anorexics seem to feel that no matter how much weight they lose, they are still too fat therefore, it is important for each person in our society to try to maintain a healthy and realistic self-image. dont compare yourself with the models and actors in the media set your sights more realistically by comparing yourself with family and friends, if anyone.

self-denial is the typical first step toward an caring disorder. eventually, desires for what youve denied yourself become unbearable, and you react with either a binge or overly fierce self-control. the answer is not of course, to eat all the snacks and treats you fancy. but 10 avoid that first step that leads to overeating, strive for a good and healthy diet such a diet is based primarily on grain products, fruits, and vegetables, with moderate amounts of meat and dairy products and with small amounts of snacks and desserts. research demonstrates that mis kind of diet leaves you more alert and energetic. （450）

every january, breckeidge hosts the international snow sculpture

championships. fourteen teams travel from all over the world to switzerland to compete. teams sculpt for sixty-five hours over five days. each team hopes that when the time is up, its sculpture will be judged the best.

as the championship begins, the fourteen teams are faced with huge blocks of snow that weigh twenty tons each. the sculptors bring out their favorite tools that

work best on the hard iced snow, but they are not allowed to employ tools that use electricity.

most teams are inspired by what they have seen in daily life. for example, one team carved a teapot with tea pouring out. another team sculpted a little cat on its hind feet(后脚)reaching into a fish bowl complete with water ripples(涟漪) and a crab(螃蟹) trying to attack the cat. in 2006, team usa sculpted a golden dog looking at its image reflected in a mirror. to create the effect that the little dog saw its reflection in the glass, the artists carved two dogs facing each other with their paws(脚爪)touching.

as the final hours of the competition tick by, exhausted team members add last-minute detail. they use small brooms to brush off snow caught in tiny holes. one team member counts down the last five minutes while others are busy cleaning up the tools. if they leave any tools behind, they will be out. when the whistle bows, everyone must step away from the sculpture. the judges then vote on creativity, technical skills, and visual impact (视觉效果)of the designs.

in 200, team usa took first place for their golden dog sculpture titled “discovery”. but the competition is not just about medals and ribbons. “it’s not about the prize,” said rob neyland, team usa’s captain. “it’s about touching the audience. ”

every year, as the championship ends, each team is already dreaming of the next masterpiece it will design. （335）

researchers presented a piece of advice to new mothers, saying that women who want to lose the extra weight gained in pregnancy should try to get more sleep .

they found that mothers who slept five hours or less a day when their babies were six months old were three times more likely than more rested mothers to have kept on the extra weight at one year.

―we ?ve known for some time that lacking sleep is associated with weight gain and obesity in the general population, but this study shows that getting enough sleep ---- even just two hours more --- may be as important as a healthy diet and exercise for new mothers to return to their per-pregnancy weight,‘ said erica gu nderson of kaiser permanente , which runs hospitals and clinics in california.

gunderson and colleagues studied 940 women taking part in a study of prenatal and postnatal health at harvard medical school in boston.

the women who slept five hours or less a night when their babies were six months old were likely to have kept on 11 pounds (5kg) of weight one years after giving birth, they found.

women who slept seven hours a night or more lost more weight, they reported in the american journal of epidemiology

the researchers acknowledged this may make new mothers feel puzzled, given that their babies sleep so brokenly.
