Global Warming

In these times, people all over the world are starting to learn the influence that global warming has on people everywhere. it is a sad truth that this issue is affecting not only merely the weather, but not everyday lives as well.

These are numerous reasons to explain this; here I would like to explore some of the most important ones. The development of modern industry must be the biggest reason. Carbon dioxide exerted from some factories is believed to be contributing to the accelerated warming our atmosphere. In addition, the way that we are consuming a greater and greater amount of energy in the process of our day-to-day lives is only exacerbating this problem.

Talking into consideration those factors discussed above, I believe there are at least two measures we can take: on one hand, the government should come up with more effective and stricter laws for the regulation of industrial emissions and byproducts. On the other hand, as individuals, we need to get into the habit of saving energy. With joint effort from every one of us, we can certainly hope for a lasting solution to this problem one day.

Part II

1.F.当出现all这种过于绝对的词语时，考生应该引起注意。一般这样的命题多数是不正确的。首段中有句话：“All spiders produce silk, but only some construct webs to catch their food”命题中all的说法过于绝对。

2.T.该命题是对原文第二段首句话的同义改写。

3.F.原文中第二段首句中写到，“of the 600+ spiders in Britain only 12 are strong enough to pierce the human skin”，因此并不是命题中说的当它们刺进人的皮肤会经常杀死人。

4.F．原文中说，“Arachne became depressed after this and in the end she hung herself.”注意代词this指代上面的句子，结合上一句一起理解，命题显然是错误的。

5. NG.文章中只出现过一次Tim Tegenaria，所以该题很好定位，即最后一段的第二句。可是文章中并没有出现tarantula spiders。

6.T.该命题定位在最后一段倒数第三句话处。

7.NG.首先定位Money spiders出现的位置是文章的最后的两句，可是并没有提到它是最小的。

8.32000

该题由关键词species of spider定位在第二段倒数第二句。

9.looking at their pales

该题定位在倒数第二段的首句。

10.the Goliath spider

扫读全文的时候注意有最高级的地方。由此我们可以将该题定位在文章最后一段的首句。

11. M: I forgot to bring my pencil and paper to take notes with in class.

W: That’s all right. I have enough for both of us.

Q: What will the woman most probably do next?

12. W: When is Jason coming?

M: Well, he said he’d be here at seven-thirty, but if you know him, it will be at least eight o’clock.

Q: What do we know about Jason?

13. M: Are you ready to check out?

W: Yes. I’ll pay the bill and you’ll call the desk and have our baggage taken out to the taxi.

Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place?

14. M: Remember, you promised to help me with my homework for English class.

W: But I want to watch this program first. It is almost over. Wait a moment, please.

Q: What does the woman mean?

15. M: I was terribly embarrassed when some of the audience got up and left in the middle of the performance.

W: Well, some people just can’t seem to appreciate real-life drama.

Q: What are they talking about?

16. W: Professor Hook was so strange today.

M: I noticed that too. He was talking so quietly and then not giving us any homework at all. Can you believe that?

17. M: This room is so crowded. I can hardly breathe and I can’t see anything.

W: I don’t understand why they didn’t have this show in a bigger place. Do you?

Passage one

W: Sit down please, Mr. Johnson.

M: Introduce you, ma’am

W: I have read your letter here. You seem to have done very well in school. Can you tell me something about your schoolwork?

M: As you can see, my strongest subjects were art subjects. My best subject was history, and my second best was geography. However, my favorite subject was math, and the results I got in the math paper were quite reasonable..

W: That’ s true. Now, can you tell me why you think these subjects will help you in this job?

M: Well, ms’ am, I understand that you manufacture computers, prepare software, and advise diets on how to use them. Is that right?

W: What’s right.

M: And I’ve been told that working with computers needs a logical mind rather than great skills in mathematics. That’ s especially true, I believe, when it comes to writing programs. So I think my results show that I have some ability in logic and in mathematics, as well.

W: So, you would like to write material for computers, would you?

M: Yes, ma’am. That’s what interests me most about computers, writing programs. But I think the computer industry itself is still expanding enormously. I’ m sure that career prospects in the industry would be very good.

W: I see. Well, thank you. I’ve enjoyed our talk. We’ll be writing to you.

M: 1lmdc you, ms’ am. Good-bye.

Q1: According to the conversation, Mr. Johnson is NOT very strong in which subject?

Q2: Mr. Johnson thinks what can help him a lot in the job?

Q3: What would Mr. Johnson like to work as?

Passage two

M: Well, Cynthia, our first semester at university is almost over. I can’t wait for the holidays.

W: Me, too, Edward! Why don’ t we go somewhere far away and forget about lectures and essays and all that hard work.

M: Sounds good to me. Now, how long will we have before we have to be back here on campus for the next semester?

W: We’ve got about six weeks, I think.

M: How about if we go to the coast? It would be great to do some swimming and surfing.

W: The coast would be good, but let’s look at our other options. There are the mountains. They’re nice and cool at this time of year. And we can do some bush-walking. There’s also the desert, which I really enjoyed last year.

M: What about going to Sydney? I’ve never been there and they say it’s a great city to visit. Lots of things to do there, I’ve heard.

W: I agree Sydney would be good but there are too many tourists there at this time of year. And I’d rather get away from buildings and cars. There are enough of those around here. I vote for mountains.

M: All right, then, let’s do that. Now we have to decide where we’re going to stay and how we’re going to get there.

Q1: Where did the woman go for holiday last year?

Q2: Who are the two speakers?

Q3: Why does the man vote for Sydney?

Q4: What will the two speakers probably do next?
