16、ges painted pink or white, the sight over the rolling hills of a pretty collection of thatched farm buildingsthese are still common sights in parts of England. Most people will agree that the thatched roof is an essential part of the attraction of the English countryside.Thatching is in fact the old
17、est of all the building crafts(工艺)practised in the British Isles. Although thatch has always been used for cottage and farm buildings, it was once used for castles and churches, too. Thatching is a solitary(独自的)craft, which often runs in families. The craft of thatching as it is practised toady has
18、changed very little since the Middle Ages. Over 800 full-time thatchers are employed in England and Wales today, keeping and renewing the old roofs as well as thatching newer houses. Many property owners choose thatch not only for its beauty but because they know it will keep them cool in summer and
19、 warm in winter.In fact, if we look at developing countries, over half the world lives under thatch, but they all do it in different ways. People in developing countries are often unwilling to go back to traditional materials and would prefer modern buildings. However, they may lack the money to all
20、ow them to get the necessary materials. Their temporary mud huts with thatched roofs of wild grasses often only last six months. Thatch which has been done the British way lasts from twenty to sixty years, and is an effective defiance against the heat.56. Which of the following remains a special fea
21、ture of the English countryside? A. Narrow streets lined with pink or white houses. B. Rolling hills with pretty farm buildings.C. Cottages with thatched roofs. D.

23、ple in developing countries also live under thatch because _.A. thatched cottages are a big tourist attractionB. thatched roof houses are the cheapest C. thatch is an effective defense against the heatD. they like thatched houses better than other buildings(B)Today our lives are changing faster than
24、 at any time in history. Here we report on three important changes that will have a big impact on our everyday lives in the futureThe cashless society Cash and bank-notes will disappear almost completely. They will be replaced by smart cards, namely plastic cards: microchip(微芯片)processors (处理器)loade
25、d with some money. When we pay for goods,the shop assistant will put our smart card into a payment terminal(终端)and money will come into his card from our card. When all the money is used up,we will be able to reload it by putting it into a telephone,dialing our bank account and money will be put int
26、o the card from the account. Interactive telephones Talking computers will play an important part. They will recognize speech, ask us what information we need, look through a database,and put the information into speechIf we want to book a flight or pay a bill by phone, we will interact with a talki
27、ng computer to do so. Human telephone operators will be used only for more complex operations such as dealing with complaints or solving special problems. _ Traffic jams in cities will be reduced because drivers will use electronic route maps to find the quickest route to their destination. Electron
28、ic systems will start changing motorists for driving in citiesAs soon as motorists have to pay to drive in cities, they will stop using their cars and use public transport instead. Speed control systems will be built into cars. These systems will automatically(自动地)regulate the speed of the car to ta
29、ke account of traffic and weather conditions and prevent accidents. It will be many years before these changes bring results but when they do,there will be a titanic improvement in road safety. With the development of science and technology, more and more advanced things will be invented or created.

34、n groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this, they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long timeat least twenty or thirty years. Like some ani
35、mals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw. Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for th
36、ousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people. There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every boat in the are
37、a and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the areaexcept for The Penguin. Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect th
38、em and in these places it is against the law to kill them. 65. Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they _. A. live in groups B. have large brains C. are warm-blooded D. have their own language 66. Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around? A. Its n

He was seriously wounded. D. They wanted his help. 68. By telling the story of Jack, the writer wanted t
40、o show that _. A. dolphins are friendly and clever B. people are cruel to animals C. Jack is different from other dolphins D. dolphins should be protected by law (D)Hotlines have become common in China. Some radio broadcasting stations use hotlines to encourage the listeners to take part in the talk
41、 shows.Thats a good idea. Yet, the fact is, some people do nothing but break the whole program. Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller will
42、 ask a few questions which express his hope and show his ignorance (无知). Then the host has to answer and explainhow silly this is! It wastes a lot of time.It seems that some people phone the hotlines for fun. They just want to let the listeners hear them. They dont care what the topic is, whether th
43、ey themselves are interested or how silly they appear to be.Im totally bored by those people. Its necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programmers. In my opinion, if a caller does not know what is going on, the operator should not let the caller take part in it.69. The sentence “some
44、people do nothing but break the whole program” may tell us that _.A. radio stations use hotlines in a wrong way B. it is a fact C. it is a good idea D. some people have unclear thoughts70. Some calls waste the hosts time _.A. because the host works hard B. because of the callers ignoranceC. because
45、the host likes talking to the caller D. because of a lot of questions raised by the caller二、单项选择 21. C 解析:这里需要一个非谓语动词作定语修饰 the man,答案 A 是用来作谓语的;man 与 wear 是主动关系,所以答案 D 的正确形式应该是 wearing。dress up 是“打扮”的意思,与句义不符。dress 与 man 是被动关系,所以用过去分词,其中 in 后面经常跟什么样的衣服或者什么颜色的衣服。 22. B 解析:句义是“曾经被拒签 ”,所以要用过去分词表示被动。选项
46、C 和 D 所表示的时态不对。23. B 解析:本题考查词语辨析。check 意思是“核查,确认无误” 。examine 的意思是“检查,调查” 。clean 的意思是“打扫,清洁” 。analyze 的意思是“分析” 。根据句义“警察将为了指纹检查这个房间” ,所以 B 最合适。24. C 解析:这里的 only 修饰主语 teachers,不是用来修饰状语的,所以不用倒装。25. B 解析:根据后一句话得知“我们迟到了,没有按时到” ,所以选择 B,be supposed to do sth 表示“被期望做某事” ,但是实际并没有做到。should/ought to do sth 都是“应该做某事”的意思,放在这里与句义不符,正确的应该是should /ought to h
