A) 阅读下面的短文,从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。(5分,每小题1分)
A
Everyone has a childhood full of dreams. Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.
Before World War I, we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds, and above all, the insects.
I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm had led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other people's observations and discoveries. Then something happens, that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.
But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist, up to point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.
51. The first paragraph tells us the author __________.
A. was interested in flowers and insects in his child-hood
B. lost his hearing when he was a child
C. didn't like his brothers and sisters
D. was born to a naturalist's family
52. The author can't remember his relatives clearly because __________.
A. he didn't live very long with them
B. the family was extremely large
C. he was too young when he lived with them
D. he was fully occupied with observing nature
53. It can be inferred from the passage that the author was __________.
A. a scientist as well as a naturalist
B. a naturalist but not a scientist
C. no more than a born naturalist
D. first of all a scientist
54. The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he __________.
A. has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic
B. lacks some of the qualities required of a scientist
C. just reads about other people's observations and discoveries
D. comes up with solutions in a most natural way
55. According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be __________.
A. full of hope B. full of enthusiasm
C. knowledgeable D. self-disciplined
B)阅读下列短文,并按要求做每篇后面的题目。(30分,每小题2分)
B
In what now seems like the prehistoric times of computer history, the earth's postwar era there was quite a widespread concern that computers would take over the world from man one day. Already today, less than forty years later, as computers are relieving us of more and more of the routine tasks in business and in our personal lives, we are faced with a less dramatic but also less foreseen problem. People tend to be over-trusting of computers and are hesitant to challenge their authority. Indeed, they behave as if they were hardly aware that wrong buttons may be pushed, or that a computer may simply function in a wrong way.
Obviously, there would be no point in investing in a computer if you had to check all its answers, but people should also rely on their own internal(内在的) computers and check the machine when they have the feeling that something has gone wrong.
Questioning and routine double-checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days. Maybe each computer should come
with the warning: for all the help this computer may provide, it should not be seen as a substitute for fundamental thinking and reasoning skills.
Answer the questions 56—59 and complete the sentence of 60.
56. What was the initial concern about computers?
57. What's the less dramatic and less foreseen problem?
58. What does “their own internal computers” refer to?
59. What's one of the reasons why questioning and routine double-checks must continue to be as much a part of good business as they were in pre-computer days?
60. The author would disapprove of _________.
C

62. BOY
63. Writers cafe
64. Trellinis
65. Vegetarian Cooking Classes (B)
A. offering facilities for parties
B. not a restaurant
C. offering breakfast
D. giving you an extra serving if you present the

E. bringing the food you order to your houses
D
When Christopher Columbus arrived in America 500 years ago, he found people who had been living here for centuries. Among the Native Americans eventually affected by his “discovery” were the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico. Recently, we spoke with five Pueblo teens. Here's what they had to say about their lives today:
What qualities do you think are special to Native Americans?
Robin Atencio, 15: Our people are proud and have a strong sense of community. We look out for one another. No one is homeless.
Katrina Humetewa, 16: We have many strong old beliefs and traditions. One is that nature is sacred(神圣的). The earth gives us food and life. We don't throw away a lot of poisons into the ground and rivers.
How do you learn about your history and culture?
Fabiola Lovato, 17: We learn from our elders. They tell us about the natural world, medicines, and other things. Our traditions are passed down from generation to generation by word of mouth.
Is your daily life like that of other teens?
Justin Mchorse, 17: In many ways, yes. I listen to rap and rock ‘n' roll. I dress in jeans, T-shirts, and sneakers. I go to a regular school. In my pueblo (village), I live in an adobe (house made of mud and plaster). We have electricity and plumbing.
Jonathan Teba, 15: I go to movies with my friends and just hang out and talk. I also love sports. I watch the Lakers and the Bulls on TV.
How is your life different?
Justin: I listen to traditional Native American music. At powwows, different tribes get together to perform their dances. I'll hear round-dance songs, war-party songs, and stuff like that.
Jonathan: Mostly it's a matter of religion. We have many traditional beliefs and ceremonies. But we can't talk about them. They're private.
What's the biggest problem you face as a Native American living in today's world?
Justin: There's a lot of prejudice. Many people have stereotypes about Native Americans. They think we all live in tepees (圆锥形帐篷) and hunt buffalo, like the Native Americans they see in TV westerns.
Fabiola: Some history books talk about us as if we were all savages (原始人) and uncivilized. They're wrong. We're good, hard-working people who live in harmony with nature.
What other concerns do you have?
Robin: For me, seeing Columbus being celebrated for discovering America is difficult. Our people lost their lives, their culture, their land. We're wondering, “What about us?”
Jonathan: I worry about losing our traditions. I'm trying to learn my language—Tewa. But it seems many elders have forgotten a lot. Elders used to stay home and teach the children. Today, many have to work. There's less time for the old ways nowadays.
Answer the following questions.
66. What's the purpose of this article?
67. Who are important people in Pueblo culture according to the article?
68. How do these teenagers feel about their heritage (文化遗产)?
There are a lot of information in the teenagers' talk. Fill in the following chart with the names of people to find out who talk about the information given.

IV. 翻译 (Translation) (共10小题, 计10分)
A)阅读下面的短文,然后把划线处的句子译成汉语。
A couple of years ago, when I was going to college, I volunteered to be a finish-line “hugger” at the
Kentucky Special Olympics held in Richmond. (86) Because I was studying to become a special-education teacher, I was very interested in the games and the people and wanted to be more involved.
The day of the event dawned dreary, wet and gray. I arrived early and watched as the participants arrived with their families, friends and school groups. (87) Even though it started to rain and a cold wind blew, I didn't hear a single person complain. In fact, most of the participants were so excited that they didn't seem to notice the weather at all.
When the sky cleared up a bit, the first games began. (88) My job was to stand at the end of a lane on the track and hug the person in that lane when he or she crossed the finish line. It seemed to me that many of the participants completed their races just so they could get that “finish” hug. (89) As the arms of the hugger closed around them, their faces lit up with pure joy, whether they came in first or dead last.
While we huggers stood around, waiting for one race to end and the next to begin, we talked. I was told that most of the participants had been training for the races all year. I was impressed. (90) A dedicated athlete, I had been captain of my high school soccer team for two years, but even I hadn't trained year-round.
