阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

The 82-year-old Frances Wood entered the Nazarene University two years ago. At that time, her husband of 59 years died, which left her a little lonely and sad. As a result, she started to study at university.

Ms Wood said that she was the oldest student on campus, and was known as “Granny Franny”. The lady is just like a grandma away from home. The students wanted to vote Ms Wood as the homecoming queen, but the granny refused to accept the honor. So instead, the school honored her during half time at a football game by making her become the homecoming granny queen, the first award of its kindness ever given by the school. Ms Wood got a standing ovation(鼓掌) and was presented with flowers. To prove her popularity further, she had three male youths holding on her arm for the evening ceremony.

Ms Wood took classes in finance, history and literature at university. She said after being widowed two years before, she needed something different to do. When she got to college, she said it was a little surreal being surrounded by the young ones. “I think this is unbelievable and dreamlike to do this,” she said.

Eager to get into her little classmate circle, she handed out homemade business cards with her phone number and e-mail address, so that the students could reach out to her. The cards also featured a photo of her, saying “about 10 years ago”.

1.Why did Ms Wood decide to study at school? (no more than 10 words)

2.What is the main idea of the 2nd paragraph? (no more than 15 words)

3.What does the underlined word “surreal” in the 3rd paragraph mean? (1 word)

4.Why did Ms Wood hand out her business cards? (no more than 10 words)

5.What do you think of Ms Wood? And why? (no more than 20 words)

Over the past twenty years, American country music has become more and more popular. Song writers are no longer writing about the modern values of the USA—money, success or expensive things to buy. Instead, they are writing once more about things that are common for everyone: feeling alone in the modern world, the value of having good friends and so on.

In the 1950s, American music was about other things, for example, love—getting or losing a boyfriend or girlfriend. Money was also thought to be important.

Then in the 1960s, song writers turned to other subjects. During these years many young students were angry with society, so songs were often full of anger. Political leaders were not well thought of.

Today country music has returned. It has become big business and brings in between 200 and 400 million dollars a year. Once, the home of American country music was Nashville, Tennessee. Now, however, the music has reached all parts of the States, from Los Angeles in the west to New York in the east. Singers do not just come from the States but from all over the world. There are many famous singers from Britain, Canada and Australia. A lot of them appear on television too.

The first country singers sang while playing the guitar. It was easy for them to carry a guitar on their travels. Now, however, a lot of electrical equipment is needed for large theatres.

Country music today still remains very popular.

1.What is the passage mainly about? (no more than 5 words)

2.What are song writers of American country music now writing about? (no more than 10 words)

3.Why were the songs in the 1960s often full of anger? (no more than 10 words)

4.Where was once the home of American country music? (no more than 5 words)

5.What do you think of American country music? Please explain. (no more than 20 words)

The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled，pain-free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness, then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact，the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.

As a result，many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage，raising children，professional achievement，religious commitment and self-improvement.

Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest，he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun，adventure and excitement. Marriage has such moments，but they are not its most distinguishing features.

Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night's sleep or a three-day vacation. I don't know any parent who would choose the word "fun" to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.

Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

1.According to the author，why does a bachelor resist marriage？（no more than 10 words）

2.What is the author's opinion on raising children？（no more than 10 words）

3.Please explain the underlined word “commitment” in English in Paragraph 3. （no more than 1 word）

4.What is the author trying to tell us？（no more than 10 words）

5.How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph？（no more than 20 words）

Music is very powerful. The kind of music you listen to says a lot about who you are. What music you choose to listen to today will help to determine what type of person you are tomorrow. Be careful about what type of music you choose to listen to. Music can either build you up or tear you down.

Garbage in, garbage out

In almost all categories of music, there are artists that deliver positive messages through their music and then there are artists that deliver destructive, hateful messages in their music. The kind of music you choose to listen to will help determine the level of success you achieve in life. Think negative thoughts and you will attract negative into your life. Think positive thoughts and you will see the positive in your life. Opportunities come to the optimists in life. When you entertain negativity in your life, opportunities are often lost or ignored.

Use Positive Music to get what you want out of life

Actively choose music with a positive message to listen to. Making this conscious choice will lead to positive experiences in your daily life. Music has a powerful effect on our beliefs and our actions. Being active in choosing the music we listen to will lead to a happier and fulfilling life. If you aren’t happy with the current state of your life, a great place to start changing it for the better is to choose better music to listen to.

Not convinced that you should listen to positive music?

Consider that all action is preceded(先于) by a thought. It’s impossible to take an action without having some thought about the action before you do it. Where do your thoughts come from? They come from what you are listening to, what you are seeing and who you are hanging out with. These influences over time, are responsible for our beliefs and ultimately our actions.

How to make positive changes in your life

Choosing music with a positive message is a great way to start making positive changes in your life. Don’t you like where your life is headed? Changing the music you’re listening to is an important first step towards creating a different, more positive life for yourself.

Poverty today is a major global issue. Although there are all kinds of definitions used to explain it, in simple words, it means the inability of a person to even get his basic needs of food, shelter, clothing, safe drinking water, health and education. Poverty can be found in each and every corner of the world, although the causes may differ from country to country. Given below are the main causes of poverty in the world today.

Overpopulation is one of the main causes behind the threatening of poverty on an individual level as well as a social level. This is simple math: If there are more mouths to feed and less income, definitely much will remain poor.

Another theory which is used as an explanation for poverty is lack of education. If you look at any of the underdeveloped countries, you will find that the level of education there is very low. Lack of education means lack of employment opportunities, thus leading to unemployment coupled with poverty in the future.

Moving away from one’s own homeland to another city or country in search of employment leads to poverty too. It may take these people a lot of time to find jobs. Meanwhile, they live in bad conditions. The cost of living in the city or country is most of the time too high for them.

There may be other causes of poverty like the change in business. For example, in America, a couple of decades ago, heavy industry flourished ,which employed a lot of African-American people. But now, the focus is more on information technology and health care, both of which employ only skilled and trained people. This has led to unemployment among African-Americans.

Poverty has many ill effects on society. That’s why steps should be taken to get rid of it!

________________________________________________________________________.

For thousands of young people everywhere，college means taking their first big step into adult life. What you do in your first year of college can have a big effect on the rest of your college years. Here are some tips of mine for you.

Plan ahead. By the end of your first week, you'll know when you should finish each of your study tasks. Put those on your list. More importantly, you need to finish them on time. Start making good use of your time at the beginning of the term.

Eat right. College students often gain weight in their first year. Without Mom and Dad planning your meals, it's easy to lose track of just how many calories you’re taking in. Try to limit fast food and keep a varied diet.

Talk to your professors. College students tend to be afraid of their professors. Don't be afraid. They're there to help you. Visit a professor during his or her office hours just to chat with him or her. Tell them about a book you have read，or ask for advice. And, of course, ask for help, whether with a difficult point in your readings or with big life issues (问题).If nothing of these, a professor can point you in the right direction to find the resources you need.

Speak up in class. Ask questions, answer the professor’s questions, and share your opinion as much as possible. There are no points for sitting quietly anymore.

Go to the library. There are so many resources available in the library-- magazines, videos, and of course, the books you need for your papers. Learn as much as you can about your library .Talk with the librarians about the resources available in your field.

1.What does the underlined word “those” in Paragraph 2 refer to? （No more than 3 words）

Lots of teenagers are trying to enter a university by coping stories and phrases from the internet to fill out their personal statements in Britain. Personal statements are used to show what can make applicants （申请）different as they outline their interests and reasons for studying a particular course. But it seems that some ideas and words are alike, even the same, thanks to an internet site designed to help those who don’t know what to write about themselves. A study found that nearly 800 applications had personal statements containing phrases taken from three online examples. The study, which involved examining 50,000 personal statements, found that 5% used the material from the internet, most from one free website. Borrowed material was most likely to appear at the end of a statement or where the applicant described the reasons for wanting to study a subject. Almost all applications are now completed online, but the new evidence of Internet temptation（诱惑）follow concern that teenagers are cutting and pasting material for A-level coursework(课程作业). A spokesman said later that he and his partners were looking for ways examine whether people appeared to be copying material.

阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语问答问题（请注意问题后词数要求）。

Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding.

Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always rely on one another to speak and act honestly.

Generosity(大度) means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, of course. Instead you have to learn how to share things you enjoy, like your hobbies and your interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better.

Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve（解决). Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.

No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practise honesty, generosity and understanding.

1.What is the best title of the passage?(no more than 10 words)

2.What does a good friendship begin with?(no more than 8 words)

第二节 读写任务（共1小题，满分25分）

阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

Beijing is set to lift its12-year-old ban on fireworks for the traditional Spring Festival holidays, probably starting from next Chinese Lunar New Year in January 2006.

Zhou Jidong, director of the Legislative Affairs Office of the Beijing municipal government(市政府), told a press conference last Thursday that his office has completed the draft(草案) regulations on firework safety supervision.

Under the draft regulations , setting off fireworks will be allowed in the capital city’s eight downtown districts from the Eve of the Lunar New Year to Lantern Festival 15 days later. When the draft regulations were posted on the municipal government’s website for suggestions, local residents gave a total of 969 pieces of advice, with 70 per cent in favour of lifting the ban. Related surveys suggest local people who want to light fireworks during Spring Festival range from 50.4 per cent to 86.3 per cent.

In fact, the voice of opposition and criticism has never ended since the municipal government introduced the ban in 1993, considering pollution, noise, fire worries and personal injuries caused by letting off fireworks.

Opponents accused the government of introducing the ban only for the sake of facilitating its management role while disregarding the will of the people. Worse, they say, the ban threatened to break down the age—old traditions of celebrating Spring Festival among Chinese people.

Partly due to this endless objection, about 106 out of a total 282 Chinese cities that had followed Beijing’s lead in banning fireworks have already dropped the ban.

1．概括短文的内容要点，该部分的字数大约30词左右；

“Can I see my baby?” asked the happy new mother. The bundle(婴儿包)was placed in her arms and when she moved the fold of cloth to look upon his tiny face, she gasped-the baby has been born without ears. Time, however, proved that the baby’s hearing was perfect except his appearance.

One day when he rushed home from school and threw himself into his mother’s arms, he cried out bitterly, “A boy, a big boy… called me a f-…freak(怪人).” She sighed, knowing that his life was to be endless of heartbreaks.

He grew up, handsome and popular with his fellow students. He developed a gift for literature and music. But for his misfortune, he might have been class president.

The boy’s father had a talk with the family doctor. “Could nothing be done?” “I believe we could graft(移植)on a pair of outer ears, if they could be donated(捐献),”the doctor decided. So the search began for a person who would make such a sacrifice a young man. Two years went by. Then, “You’re going to the hospital, son. Mother and I have someone who will donate the ears you need. But it’s a secret,” said the father.

The operation was a brilliant success. His talents blossomed (开花)into genius. School and college became a series of successes. Later he married and entered the diplomatic（外交）service. “But I must know!” he urged his father. “Who gave so much for me? I could never do enough for him.”

“I do not believe you could,” said the father, “but the agreement was that you are not to know….not yet.” The years kept the secret, but the day did come…. one of the darkest days that ever pass through a son. He stood with his father over his mother’s casket(棺材).Slowly and softly, the father stretched forth a hand and raised the thick, reddish-brown hair to let out the secret.
