On Saturday August 12, 2000, during Northern Fleet training exercises in the Barents Sea, the Russian nuclear submarine(潛水艇) Kursk sank in about 100 meters of water with some 118 sailors aboard. It's known later that several officers were also aboard, observing the training exercises. The Kursk is lying on the ocean floor in the Barents Sea. The Russian Navy said that it was listing 30 degrees to port. Other sources reported it was listing as much 60 as degrees. According to a Russian newspaper, when the submarine Kursk failed to make contact with the naval command at the right time later that day, Northern Fleet Commander Admiral Vyachesav Popov ordered rescue ships into the area. It took hours to find the submarine, as it didn't launch(發(fā)射) a marking buoy(浮) before sinking.
Russian Navy Chief insisted that the submarine Kursk had been involved(卷入) in a major collision(碰撞), but a great deal of information shows that this is not true. Up till now, it's believed that an explosion in the torpedo compartment(魚雷艙) in the nose of the Kursk was the likely cause. Now Russian government officially asked Norway for help in recovering of sailors' bodies first of all, and Norway has agreed to offer all help. But Russian insisted that only Russians work inside the submarine Kursk and that the work last for about 10～18 working days. It is expected to recover only 25～35 bodies from the Kursk.
It was not until October 25, when a team of Russian divers entered the submarine Kursk, some 350 feet below the surface, that truth became clear. On November 7, in the morning, owing to(由于)  the icy and the cold weather, a special rescue meeting held on Murmansk decided to stop the whole bodies recovering operation.
小題1:From the text we can infer that _______ led to the sinking of the submarine Kursk.
A．a(chǎn) small fighting with another foreign submarine
B．a(chǎn)n explosion inside the submarine Kursk
C．a(chǎn) great collision inside the submarine Kursk
D．a(chǎn)n attack from another foreign submarine
小題2:After Kursk accident occurred, Northern Fleet Commander Popov _______.
A．decided to recover all the sailors' bodies immediately
B．went to apply to Norway for help at once
C．decided to find out the real cause of sinking at once
D．sent several rescue ships into the Barents Sea
小題3:Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?
A. The Norwegians were willing to offer all help.
A. If the rescue work did within 10～18 days, there would be about 30 sailors to be recovered.
B. It was not believed that there were many unclear weapons inside the Kursk.
C. A team of divers from Norway entered the submarine Kursk successfully on Oct. 25
D. It's reported that a major collision was unlikely to cause the sinking of the Kursk.
小題4:Why did Russia insist that only Russian divers can work inside the submarine Kursk?
A．Because the Barents Sea is very icy and the weather is too cold.
B．Because Russia feared that the top secrets inside the Kursk will be let out.
C．Because Russian divers are much more skilled than those from Norway.
D．Because Russian government wants to bring the cost down to the lowest degree.
小題5:The underlined words “make contact with” in the first paragraph refers to the idea that the submarine Kursk can't_______.
A．get in touch after much effort with the naval command
B．send up the nuclear weapons in the training exercises
C．get the naval officers to return to the Northern Fleet
D．get in touch after much effort with Russian government

小題1:B
小題2:D
小題3:C
小題4:B
小題5:A

2000年8月12日，俄羅斯的一艘潛水艇連同120余名官兵沉入Barents海100多米的水底，在請求了挪威的援助下營救工作隨即開始，事故原因眾說不一，時至十月二十五日才真相大白。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第 2 段第 2 句話Up till now, it’s believed that an explosion in the torpedo compartment in the nose of the Kursk was the likely cause 可知答案。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第 1 段倒數(shù)第 2 句話…Northern Fleet Commander Admiral Vyachesav Popov ordered rescue ships into the area 可知答案。
小題3:判斷題。根據(jù)第 2 段倒數(shù)第 2 句話But Russian insisted that only Russians work inside the submarine Kursk 可得出答案。
小題4:判斷題。此題屬考查考生的國際軍事外交常識。其中四個選項文章中均沒有提及到，但比較四個選項可以發(fā)現(xiàn)C選項較合情理(潛核艇內(nèi)部設(shè)備屬于國家機(jī)密，不允許別國的人入內(nèi)，以免泄密)。
小題5:詞義猜測題。從第 1 段后部分內(nèi)容中可猜出是 the naval command 與 submarine Kurst“失去聯(lián)系”后，Northern Fleet Commander 估計 submarine Kurst 發(fā)生了事故，才派遣搜救船隊。

BEUING (Associated Press 美聯(lián)社) —China has a growing middle class, a tradition (傳統(tǒng)) of expecting education and 21 million new babies every year. Selling educatioinal toys should be easy.
While China may be the world’s biggest toy?maker, many of the best are exported (出口). Department stores here do not have enough high quality toys. It is said that the demand for educational toys is low.
A US company, BabyCare, is trying to change that with a new way to sell toys in China.
BabyCare works basically together with doctors in Beijing hospitals.  People who join the company’s "mother club"can get lectures and newsletters on baby and child development at no extra cost, if they agree to spend 18 dollars a month on the company’s educational toys and child?care books.
"We want to build a seven year relationship with those people," said Matthew J. Estes, BabyCare’s president. "It starts during pregnancy (孕期), when the anxiety and needs are highest." BabyCare works on a one to one basis. Doctors, nurses, and teachers paid by BabyCare advise parents, explain toys that are designed for children at each stage (階段) of development to age six.
BabyCare opened its first store in China last June in a shopping center in central Beijing and another near Beijing Zoo. It plans to have 80 stores in China within six years.
It is a new model for China and develops a market in young children’s education and health that no other companies are in.
小題1: What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us?
A．Educational toys and foreign toy markets.

Beijing's broadened ban on smoking in public places took effect Thursday, adding force to the effort to hold a smoke-free Olympics.
The new rules extend existing anti-smoking regulations to more places, including fitness centers, cultural relic sites, offices, meeting rooms, dining halls, toilets and lifts. Restaurants, Internet cafes, parks, and waiting halls at airports, railway stations and coach stations are required to set up smoking areas. Hotels will have to offer smoke-free rooms or floors, but the regulations do not specify a proportion.
However, some restaurant owners have complained that it would be difficult to have a separate smoking room as required by the new regulations. "We plan to issue specific rules to solve this problem as soon as possible," Rao Yingsheng, vice-director of the Beijing Committee for Patriotic Public Health Campaign, was quoted by the Beijing News as saying Thursday. He said small restaurants without a separate room should set aside at least 70 percent of their area for non-smokers. He also said customers and restaurant owners would be asked for their thoughts on the new rule.
Local authorities dispatched about 100,000 inspectors to make sure the ban was being enforced Thursday. Everyone has the right to dissuade people from smoking in public places, Liu Zejun, who works for the Beijing committee, said. "Citizens are encouraged to expose those who refuse to obey the rule by calling the free telephone line 12320," Liu said.
People caught smoking in forbidden areas will be fined 10 yuan ($1.40), while enterprises and institutions that violate(違反) the ban will face fines of between 1,000 yuan and 5,000 yuan. Smoking was forbidden in hospitals, kindergartens, schools, museums, sports venues and other places before the new regulations took effect. From Oct 1 last year, the city also banned smoking in its 66,000 cabs, and imposed fines of 100 yuan to 200 yuan on drivers caught smoking in taxis.
China has pledged a cigarette-free, green Olympics. This year's event will be the first non-smoking Olympic Games since the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), of which China is a signatory(簽名人), went into effect in 2005.
小題1:The passage mainly tells us _____.
A．There will be more places where smoking is forbidden.
B．More people should give up smoking.
C．Broadened ban on smoking in public places took effect in order to set up a non-smoking Olympic Games.
D．Those who smoke at public places will be fined.
小題2:Smoking is _____ at airports, railway stations or coach stations etc.
A．forbiddenB．a(chǎn)llowed
C．a(chǎn)llowed at it’s smoking areasD．we don’t know

A．Hotels will have to offer smoke-free rooms.
B．Smoking is not allowed in most restaurants.
C．12320 is a free telephone line to expose those who smoke at public places.
D．People caught smoking in forbidden areas will be fined.

The idea of being able to walk on water has long interested humans greatly. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aid --- we simply weigh too much, and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.
However, several types of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus, a lizard（蜥蜴）native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several meters, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the water’s surface with its feet. The lizard will take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans to do this, we’ll need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate “hitting.”
But fortunately there is an alternative: cornflour. By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water (and it does take a lot), you can create a “non-Newtonian” liquid that doesn’t behave like normal water. Now if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles（粒子）in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can walk across the surface of an adequately thick liquid of cornflour.
Fun though all this may sound, it’s still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice. If you must do it, then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sink --- and take a shower afterward!
小題1:Walking on water hasn’t become a reality mainly because humans _______.
A．a(chǎn)re not interested in it
B．have biological limitations
C．have not invented proper tools
D．a(chǎn)re afraid to make an attempt
小題2:What do we know about Basilicus basilicas from the passage?
A．It is light enough to walk on water.
B．Its huge feet enable it to stay above water.
C．It can run across water at a certain speed
D．Its unique skin keeps it from getting wet in water
小題3:What is the function of the cornflour according to the passage?
A．To create a thick liquid.
B．To turn the water into solid.
C．To help the liquid behave normally.
D．To enable the water to move rapidly.
小題4:What is the author’s attitude toward the idea of human’s walking on water?
A．It is risky but beneficial.
B．It is interesting and worth trying
C．It is crazy and cannot become a reality
D．It is impractical; though theoretically possible

第三節(jié)：閱讀理解（共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分）
（A）
JIUQUAN, Gansu Province, Sept. 6(Xinhua) ---- China’s manned spacecraft Shenzhou-7 will be launched at an appropriate time between Sept. 25 and 30 from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern Gansu Province, a spokesman said here on Saturday. The mission will accomplish the first spacewalk by Chinese astronauts.
“All the major systems involved in the launching are now in the final preparation. The main tests for the spacecraft, the Long-March II-F rocket, suits for the space walk and a satellite accompanying the fly have also been finished, ” said the spokesman.
In addition, the ground control system is fully prepared, including the launch site, the landing site, and the communication for observation and control.
When Shenzhou-7 enters its orbit, one of the three taikonauts will conduct a space walk, said Zhao Changxi, a senior scientist with the project, earlier.
According to Zhao, cameras would be fixed outside and inside of the ship for live broadcasting of the space walk.
While the last mission of Shenzhou-6, with a crew of two, was aimed at several days of manned flight, this time the task might be more stringent as one of its main goals is the space walk.
Earlier reports said a crew of six astronauts had been chosen for the mission, with three manning the spacecraft and three substitutes. 
China successfully put two manned spacecrafts into orbit in 2003 and 2005 respectively, becoming the third country to send an astronaut into space after the United States and the former Soviet Union(now Russia).
56. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Shenzhou-7 is better equipped than the last two spaceships.
B. Shenzhou-7 will be more successful than the last two launches.
C. All the systems involved in the launching have been prepared.
D. China is ready for the launching of Shenzhou-7.
57. We can learn from the passage ________.
A. This will be the third time for Chinese astronauts to have a space walk
B. Three of the six astronauts chosen for the mission will walk in space
C. The space walk will be live broadcasted on TV
D. Everything has been prepared except communication system
58. The underlined word”stringent”most probably means
A. challenging   B. encouraging   C. interesting   D. moving
