36-40 CDBBD 41-45 BCAAB46-50 DDABC 51-55 BCADC
 36. 解析:這是一個強調句,使用強調句結構“It was…that…”。所以本題選C項。
37.解析:整個句意是“只是在18世紀歐洲人才開始認為山脈是美麗的”。所以根據(jù)句意和單詞的意思應該選擇D項think(認為,考慮)。
38.解析:上下兩句意義進行對比。下句表達18世紀以前人們對于山脈的看法,所以選擇B項。
   39. 解析:living用動詞的-ing形式作后置定語,相當于who lived…定語從句。
  40. 解析:用“介詞+關系代詞”形式引導非限制性定語從句,修飾the city people,意思是“對城市人來說”。
 41.解析:整個句子前后兩部分構成對應。前部分兩個形容詞wild和dangerous 對應后面的lost和killed by terrible animals。因為“荒野”而容易迷路,因為be killed by terrible animals所以說比較危險。
42.解析:用where引導定語從句修飾places, where在定語從句中作地點狀語。
43. 由后面的關鍵詞:killed by terrible animals.結合上文意思此處為丟失、迷路。
   44. 解析:指從18世紀開始,“許多人”的思想發(fā)生了改變。
45. 解析:定語從句,who were living也可直接用living。
 46.解析:be tired of“厭煩、厭倦……”,本題用了系動詞grow代替系動詞be,含有“逐漸增加厭倦感”的意思。
47.解析:be interested in…“對……感興趣”,可以用feel代替系動詞be。
48.解析:untouched country與man made town構成對比。
49.解析:which引導定語從句,在定語從句中作主語,代指places,復數(shù)含義,其后謂語動詞用復數(shù)。
  50.解析:根據(jù)句意進行判斷以及下文的暗示。
  51.解析:句意指“爬山作為一種體育運動而開始逐漸受歡迎”。
52.解析:pleasant形容詞作后置定語,修飾something, pleased形容詞說明人的感覺,不用來修飾物,pleasure是名詞,unpleasant詞義不對。
   53. 解析:根據(jù)句意作出判斷“爬到山頂”。
   54. 解析:比較的前后兩個方面是同等結構,a struggle against nature和a battle against other human beings并列。
55. 解析:用形容詞修飾reward,satisfied說明人的感覺,不修飾reward,A、D兩項詞義不對。

Active vacations are often the most relaxing of all. But Wait! It's all in defining what an active vacation is. We don't expect you to take up jogging, backpacking, or hang gliding. we ask the sedentary(愛坐的)vacationers to spend two to four hours a day doing things, such as walking the city streets, exploring a nature preserve, or taking a leisurely rowboat ride.
These kinds of activities aren't just good for your physical health. They improve your mental health, even your spiritual health. And they make vacations memorable and worthwhile. Here are some fresh ideas for active and healthy vacation.
Make the morning your activity time. At that time it is most likely that the weather will be friendlier, your energy level higher, and your schedule emptier than later in the day.
Have a walk at dawn or dusk. Such activity is called rejuvenation(恢復活力). Try to make this a daily routine of life away from home, and you will guarantee yourself both physical and spiritual youth.
Get into the water as much as you can. Don't allow yourself to spend your entire time sitting in front of the water. Whether it is the ocean, a swimming pool, or a tree-lined lake, make sure you get into the water for swimming or games or even walking. Merely standing in waist-high water is a good workout, thanks to the action of the water. And you'll feel so much more alive!
Choose a cruise for your trip. It's amazing how active you can be being stuck on a boat in the middle of the Atlantic. Most cruise ships offer numerous options for seaworthy exercise. During your sea and land trips you can burn calories as you swim, hike, dive, and horseback ride.
Get out of the car every two hours. Many of us spend a large part of our vacations on the road, either getting to and from our destinations, or using the car for sightseeing. But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, great and memorable vacations don't happen in a car seat. Don't wait for tiredness or nature's call to get you to pull over. Frequently get out and stretch, walk, picnic, shop, visit, and have fun. It's important for your health and energy, and it makes traveling a lot more active and interesting.
小題1:The first paragraph mainly tells us ____________.
A.that active vacations are very relaxing
B.the activities we should join in
C.how many hours we should exercise every day
D.what an active vacations is
小題2:How many tips does the writer give in the passage?
A.ThreeB.FourC.FiveD.Six
小題3:Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?
A.Usually the weather in the morning is better.
B.You can have a memorable vacation in a car.
C.Swimming can make you feel much more alive.
D.Don’t drive your car very often to go sightseeing.

We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don’t do a very good job.   71 .
So, you have to give a speech ─ and you are terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble (結結巴巴) over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank Goodness, it’s over. I’m just not good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”
Cheer up!   72 . Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of your time doing your research.

Use as many example as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they help you make your points more clearly.   73 . Don’t talk over their heads, and don't talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Snow-melting Agent
A heavy snow can kill pests and this means a good harvest next year.This will bring as well as trouble to urbanites.
On Nov.16,2003,a cold air current brought a heavy snow to Beijing.To prevent traffic jams,related government departments mobilized people to clear off snow on streets.
One of the most effective ways to clear off snow on roads is to scatter snow-melting agent on the roads.The major component of the snow-melting agent is salt.The snow-melting agent can make snow stop from freezing,make it easier to clear off the road,and allow traffic to flow smoothly.But it also brings about some hidden dangers.In the spring of 2003,over 300 000 trees in Beijing urban districts died.After analyzing soil around these trees,experts discovered that the salt content of these soils was 392 times higher than normal.Where did the excessive salt come from?After investigating,forestry experts found that when clearing snow in the winter,people usually heap snow containing snow-melting agent at trees’ roots,and that when the snow melts,this agent penetrates the soil and increases its salt content.The snow-melting agent indirectly killed the trees.
Statistics show that during a heavy snow in 2002,over 1000 tons of snow-melting agent was scatterred on streets in Beijing.Snow water containing a large amount of snow-melting agent got into the soil through sewers.
In addition,salt in the snow-melting agent can expedite the corrosion of steel bars in concrete buildings and cause the concrete to crack and peel,shortening the life of roads.
Scientists and government officials are required to solve traffic problems caused by heavy snows as soon as possible and at the same time try to reduce the negative effects of the snow-melting agent.This is a difficult problem placed before them.Related authorities have framed some local criteria to regulate the production and use of snow-melting agents.
Now,more harmless snow-melting agents are being developed.Now that even snow-melting agents that meet today’s criteria must still be used carefully,we have to rely more on our manpower and machines to clear off snow.
This year,in addition to using snow-melting agents,Beijing will use a large number of snow vehicles to clear snow on roads.In more places,citizens are mobilized to clear snow with their hands.This may be a test of a city’s civilization level.
小題1:Salt is a snow-melting agent while _________ is a cleaning agent.
A.waterB.soapC.a(chǎn) washing-machineD.a(chǎn) housewife
小題2:The third paragraph of the text is mainly about _______.
A.the side effect of snow-melting agent
B.a(chǎn) case of damage to trees caused by snow-melting agent
C.the results of using snow-melting agent
D.the uses of snow-melting agent
小題3:According to the text,the most practical way to clear off snow is to _________.
A.use snow-melting agent as much as possible
B.only use more harmless snow-melting agent
C.encourage people to clear snow with their hands
D.use more snow vehicles
小題4:This text most probably appears in_________.
A.a(chǎn) newspaperB.a(chǎn) magazine on latest findings
C.a(chǎn) book on saltD.a(chǎn) magazine on environmental protection

Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.
How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they’ll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It’s a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn’t. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.
Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’s time for you to change the subject.
Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you’re saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.
小題1:Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way _______.
A.for you to make more and more new friends
B.to begin your business talks
C.to get the conversation going smoothly
D.for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others
小題2:After having asked somebody a question, it’ll be polite of you to _______.
A.make clear what kind of person he is
B.listen to his reply attentively
C.wait quietly and patiently for his answer
D.go on asking him more questions
小題3:Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who _______.
A.a(chǎn)re good at making any topic interesting
B.never talk too much or too little
C.a(chǎn)lways speak in a gentle way
D.know how and when they should change the topic of the talk
小題4:If you really take delight in meeting someone again, _______.
A.you may take him as your lifelong trustworthy friend
B.it seems necessary for you to let him know it
C.it’s proper for you to give him a second handshake
D.it’ll be helpful for you to have further understanding of him

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.
The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities, others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "flight or fight" and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Since we can't remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.
46. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because _____.
A. they regard working as their greatest enjoyment
B. they believe that work is superior to relaxation
C. they are traveling fast all the time
D. they are becoming busier with their work than ever before
47. According to the author, the most important character for a good manager is his _____.
A. strong will to hold out stress
B. knowing the art of relaxation
C. high sense of responsibility
D. having control over performance
48. Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the passage?
A. We can find quite a few ways to avoid stress.
B. Stress is always harmful to people's health
C. It's easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.
D. Different people can bear different amount of stress.
49. In the last sentence of the passage, "do so" refers to _____.
A. "expose ourselves to stress"
B. "find ways to deal with stress"
C. "remove stress from our lives"
D. "establish links between diseases and stress"
50. According to the author, the right attitude toward stress is _____.
A. to avoid it                 B. to try to cope with it
C. to regard it as a vital motivation      D. to find some relaxation
