1.“If there is one thing I’m sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers．It is not that newspapers are a necessity．Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio．Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday．But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation． The nature of what is news may change．What basically makes news is what affects our lives — the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same．I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though．It’s already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因) engineering．In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do — as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are． It’s quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送) electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home．In fact, I’m pretty sure that how it will happen in the future．You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read — sports and international news, et C． I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体)．They actually feed off each other．Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers, but that hasn’t happene D．What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen or sound lost in the air．And as for the Internet, it’s never really pleasant to read something just on a screen．[单选题] What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?

5.A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspapers．"Last week," said he, "my umbrella was stolen from a London Church．As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didn't get it back." 　　"How did you write your advertisement?" asked one of the listeners, a merchant. 　　"Here it is," said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper．The other man took it and read, "Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella．The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No．10 Broad Street．" 　　"Now," said the merchant, "I often advertise, and find that it pays me well．But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is of great importance．Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, I'll buy you a new one." The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote: "If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening doesn't wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No, 10 Broad Street．He is well known." This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door．In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors that had been thrown in, and his own was among the number．Many of them had notes, fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.[单选题] This is a story about __.

7.根据以下资料，回答111-114题。 　　A hundred years ago, the game we now call football did not exist．American football started during a game between two colleges．The teams had got together to play what they called "football", but each team played by different rules．One team played what we now call soccer．The other played what we now call rugby (橄榄球) . 　　Both games had been invented a thousand years before．In the first kind of football game ever played, all the men from one village tried to kick a ball into another village．The men of the second village tried to kick the ball into the first．Hundreds of people joined in, running everywhere, running crops and knocking down fences．In time, people agreed on some rules to keep order, but many rules were left open to change．Different rules developed in different places. 　　When the two colleges met to play football, each followed its own rules．They mixed the games together and invented a new game．A hundred years 1.ater we call that game American football. 　　In what ways do you suppose the game we know now will have changed in another hundred years?111 When the two colleges first met to play "football", the players followed __.

8.III. Cloze ( 30 points)In Britain, people have different attitudes to the police. Most people generally 21 them and the job they do-although there are certain people who do not believe that the police 22 have the power that they do.What does a policeman actually do? It is not 23 job to describe. After all, a policeman has a number of jobs in one.

9.There is nothing more possible than a new hip or knee that can put the spring back inyour step.Patients receiving joint implants(移植）often are able to resume many of thephysical activities they love,even those as vigorous as tennis and hiking.No wonder.then,that joint replacement is growing in popularity.In the United States in 2007,surgeons performed about 806,000 hip and knee implants(the joints most commonly replaced),double the number performed a decade earlier.Though these procedures have become routine,they are not failure free.implants must sometimes be replaced,said Dr.Henrik Malchau,an orthopedic surgeon(矫形外科医生）at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.A study published in2007 found that 7 percent of hips implanted in Medicare patients had to be replaced withinseven and a half years.The percentage may sound low,but the finding suggests that thousands of hip patients eventually require a second operation,said Dr.Malchau.Those patients must endure additional recoveries,often painful,and increased medical expenses.Thefailure rate should be lower,many experts agree.Sweden,for instance,has a failure rate estimated to be a third of that in the United States.Sweden also has a national jointreplacement registry,a database of information from which surgeons can learnhow andwhy certain procedures go wrongA registry also helps surgeons learn quickly whetheraspecifictype of implant is particularly problematic,"Every country that has developedaregistry has been able to reduce failure rates."“Significantly,"said Dr.Daniel Berry,chief of orthopedic surgery at the Mayo Clinicin Rochester,Minn.A newly formed American Joint Replacement Registry will begin gathering data fromhospitals in the next 12 to 18 months.It's good news for those who are considering replacing a knee or hip.The U.S.is trying to reduce joint replacement failure rate by（）

12.Toronto:A 300-pound adult Siberian tiger escaped from its four-meter high chain-link pen(圈)atthe Toronto Zoo yesterday, on one of the busiest days of the year. Though no one was hurt, thedangerous animal was separated from the public for a time by noting more than a four-foot fence.The escape occurred after one of the animal’s handlers left the pen gate open. It promoted a swiftresponse from officials. Staff were sent immediately to arrest the runaway tiger. General ManagerCalvin White told reporters that staff were preparing for the worst. “ I ordered a tranquilizer(麻醉剂)gun so we would have tranquilized her, but thankfully we didn’t have to”, Mr. White said. Thetiger was successfully led back into its cage after the brave escape.The incident occurred during the Toronto Zoo’s 28th annual Christmas Treats Walk, whereadmission is free in return for donation of food that does not easily go bad. Thousands of peopleattend each Boxing Day to see the animals fed by their handlers.Who is Calvin White?

14.Years ago, a cigarette commercial asked if you were smoking more, but enjoying it less．That describes the way many of us live today．We are doing more, but enjoying it less．And when that doesn't work, we get the problem．In our extremely hurried search for satisfaction, we try stuffing still more into our days, never realizing that we are taking the wrong approach. 　　The truth is simple; so simple it is hard to believe．Satisfaction lies with less, not with more．Yet, we pursue the myth that this thing, or that activity, will somehow provide the satisfaction we so desperately seek. 　　Arthur Lindman, in his very effective book, "The Harried Leisure Class," described the uselessness of pursuing more．His research focused on what people did with their leisure time．He found that as income rose, people bought more things to occupy their leisure time．But, ironically, the more things they bought, the less they valued any one of them．Carried to an extreme, he predicted massive boredom in the midst of tremendous variety．That was more than twenty years ago, and his prediction seems more accurate every year. Lindman of course, is not the first to discover this．The writer of Ecclesiastes expressed the same thought thousands of years ago．It is better, he wrote, to have less, but enjoy it more. 　　If you would like to enjoy life more, I challenge you to experiment with me．How could you simplify your life? What could you drop? What could you do without? What could you stop pursuing? What few things could you concentrate on? 　　The more I learn, the more I realize that fullness of life does not depend on things．The more I give up, the more I seem to gain．But words will never convince you．You must try it for yourself．[单选题] Lindman wrote his book __.

19.During the Christmas shopping rush in London, the interesting story was reported of a tramp(流浪者)who, apparently though no fault of his own,found himself locked in a well?known chain storelate on Christmas Eve. No doubt the store was crowded with last?minute Christmas shoppers andthe staff were dead beat and longing to get home.Probably all the proper security checks weremade before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three?day holiday untroubled bycustomers desperate to get last?minute Christmas presents.However ridiculous that may be,our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to makethe best of it. There was food, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use.There must also have been television sets and radios.Though it was not reported if he tookadvantage of these facilities, when the shop reopened he was discovered in bed with a largenumber of empty bottles beside him.He seems to have been a man of good humor as indeedtramps very commonly are.Everyone else was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why he should not do thesame.He yielded himself cheerfully,and was taken by the police. Perhaps he had had a betterChristmas than usual. He was sent to prison for seven days.The judge awarded no compensation(赔偿 )to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed.They had,in hisopinion,already received valuable free publicity from the story revealed in the newspaper and ontelevision.Perhaps the judge had had a good Christmas,too.The tramp was locked in the store__________.
