第二部分  阅读理解（共25小题。第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分）

                                   A

   Louis Armstrong had two famous nicknames (绰号).  Some people called him Bagamo. They said his mouth looked like a large bag. Musicians often called him Pops, as a sign of respect for his influence (影响) on the world of music.

   Born in 1901 in New Orleans, he grew up poor, but lived among great musicians. Jazz was invented in the city a few years before his birth. Armstrong often said, "Jazz and I grew up together."

   Armstrong showed a great talent (天赋) for music when he was taught to play the cornet（短号) at a boy's home. In his late teens, Armstrong began to live the life of a musician. He played in parades, clubs, and on the steamboats that travelled on the Mississippi River. At that time, New Orleans was famous for the new music of jazz and was home to many great musicians. Armstrong learned from the older musicians and soon became respected as their equal.

  In 1922 he went to Chicago. There, the tale of Louis Armstrong begins. From then until the end of his life,  Armstrong was celebrated and loved wherever he went. Armstrong had no equal when it came to playing the American popular song.

  His cornet playing had a deep humanity (仁爱) and warmth that caused many listeners to say, "Listening to Pops just makes you feel good all over. " He was the father of the jazz style(风格) and also one of the best-known and most-admired people in the world. His death, on July 6, 1971, was headline news around the world.

41. Armstrong was called Pops because he_____________.               [B]

 A. looked like a musician              B. was a musician of much influence

  C. showed an interest in music           D. travelled to play modern music

42. The third paragraph is developed ___________.                     [C]

  A. by space          B. by examples     C. by time         D. by comparison

43. Which statement about Armstrong is true?                          [C]

  A. His tale begins in New Orleans.          B. He was born before jazz was invented.

  C. His music was popular with his listeners.   D. He learned popular music at a boy's home.

44. Which would be the best title for the text?                          [BI

  A. The Invention of the Jazz Music       B. The Father of the Jazz Style

  C. The Making of a Musician             D. The Spread of Popular Music

                                                         B

   When people want to know about the weather, they usually go to their radios, TVs, newspapers, or to the Internet. However, you can also find many weather signs among wildlife, because of their highly developed senses. Drops in air pressure (压力) produce an effect on small animals in many ways. Mice and deer are good weather indicators. People who spend a lot of time outdoors have observed that, before a storm, field mice come out of their holes and run around. Deer leave high ground and come down from the mountains.

   Birds are especially good weather indicators because they also show the effect of a pressure drop in many ways. For example, some birds become irritable (急躁的) and quarrelsome and will fight over a piece of bread. Other birds chirp (叽叽喳喳) and sing just before a storm. It seems they know they won't get another chance for an hour or two. Birds also seek safe places before a storm. You will sometimes see birds settling in trees or gathering together on a wire close to a building. Pre-storm low pressure makes the air so thin that birds have difficulty flying.

 It is unusual to see many birds flying overhead in the summertime, rather than during the periods in the spring or autumn. Watch for other weather signs if you see this. If they fly in the wrong direction, they may be flying ahead of a storm.

By paying closer attention to some important signs in nature, we can become better prepared for any kind of weather.

45. The word "indicators" in paragraph 1 probably means________.        [C]

  A. maps            B. services          C. signs            D. stations

46. There will be a storm if birds_________.                           [A]

  A. make more noise than usual           B. fly in different directions

  C. come down from tall .trees             D. share a piece of bread

47. How can birds sense the coming of a storm?                        [C]

 A. By feeling a drop in air temperature.   B. By noticing the change of wind directions.

 C. By feeling a drop in air pressure.     D. By noticing the movements of other animals.

48. The best title for the text would be_______.                         [D]

 A. Signs of a Storm                      B. Drops in Air Pressure

 C. Animals' Sharp Senses                 D. Nature's Weather Signs

                                    C

     When former American President Bill Clinton travelled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam, he repeatedly referred to the Korean president's wife as Mrs. Kim. By mistake, President Clinton~ s advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese. Clinton had not been told that, in Korea, wives keep their family names. President Kim Young Sam's wife was named Sohn Myong Suk. Therefore, she should be addressed (称谓) as Mrs. Sohn.

 President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears. His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan.

   In addition to Koreans, some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names. This practice often puzzles (使困惑) English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents. They become puzzled about the student's correct last name. Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures.

  Mexican naming customs are different as well. When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and adds her husband's name after the word de (of). This affects (影响) how they fill in forms in the United States. When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father's family name. But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother. This often causes puzzlement.

  Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations: don’t always think that a married woman uses her husband's last name. Remember that in many Asian cultures, the order of first and last names is reversed (颠倒). Ask which name a person would prefer to use. If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and ask the person to help you say it correctly.

49. The story of Bill Clinton is used to__________.                          [B]

 A. improve US-Korean relations           B. introduce the topic of the text

  C. describe his visit to Korea             D. tell us how to address a person

50. The word "gears" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to_______.              [D]

 A. action plans       B. naming customs        C. travel maps    D. thinking patterns

51. When a woman marries in Korea, she ___________.                        [A]

 A. continues to use her family name        B. uses her husband's given name

 C. shares her husband's family name        D. adds her husband's given name to hers

52. To address a married woman properly, you'd better______.                   [C]

   A. use her middle name                B. use her husband's first name

   C. ask her which name she likes         D. change the order of her names

                                                      D

 Teens don't understand the big fuss (大题小做). As the first generation to grow up in a wired world, they hardly know a time when computers weren't around, and they eagerly catch the chance to spend hours online, chatting with friends. So what?

  But researchers nationwide are increasingly worried that teens are becoming isolated (孤寂), less skillful at person-to-person relationships, and perhaps numb (麻木) to the cheatings that are so much a part of the e-mail world. "And a teen's sense of self and values may be changed in a world where personal connections can be limitless," said Sherry Turkle.

 Another researcher, Robert Kraut, said he's worried about the "opportunity costs" (机会成本) of so much online time for youths. He found that teens who used computers, even just a few hours a week, showed increased signs of loneliness and social isolation. "Chatting online may be better than watching television, but it's worse than hanging out (闲逛) with real friends," he said.

  Today's teens, however, don’t see anything strange in the fact that the computer takes up a central place in their social lives. "School is busy and full of pressure. There's almost no time to just hang out," said Parker Rice, 17. "Talking online is just catch-up time. "

  Teens say they feel good about what they say online or taking the time to think about a reply. Some teens admit that asking someone for a date, or breaking up, can be easier in message form, though they don’t want to do so. But they insist there's no harm.

53. The researchers argue that__________.                                [A]

 A. teens may develop a different sense of values

 B. nothing is wrong with teens~ chatting online

 C. teens can manage their social connections

 D. spending hours online does much good to teens

54. Teens think that talking online can help them____________.                [D]

 A. use computers properly               B. improve their school work

 C. develop an interest in social skills      D. reduce their mental pressures

55. The text mainly deals with________.                                    [D]

 A. teens’ pleasant online experience          B. teens' computer skills and school work

 C. the effects of the computer world on teens

 D. different opinions on teens' chatting online

56. The purpose of the text is to__________.                                 [B]

 A. describe computer research results       B. draw attention to teens~ computer habits

 C. suggest ways to deal with problem teens   D. discuss problems teens have at school

     Last year more than one million Filipinos worked abroad as servants, nurses, sailors and in other difficult but low-paid jobs. Southeast Asians leave their poorer countries for their richer neighbours.

   Many of these wage-earners return in the end. In the meantime, they send home huge amounts of money----- in the Philippines’ case, over 10% of its GDP. Between January and November, the amount was up 18% on the same period of 2005.  Poverty and unemployment are still high in the Philippines and other labour-exporting (劳务输出) countries. They would be far worse but for this outflow of bodies and inflow of dollars. As for those Asian countries that import (输入) labour, as in Europe, falling birth rates mean they are going to need more foreign workers.

  On January 13th leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) signed an agreement to help migrant (流动性) workers -- with the realization that the flow of labour between their countries is a growing problem that they cannot blame on outsiders. A 2005 study showed that 8.4 million Southeast Asians worked outside their home countries, but this did no~ include the huge numbers of Indonesians doing so without papers. So the true total is probably rather higher.

  Of the ten ASEAN countries, the Philippines, Indonesia, Myanmar, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos export labour, Singapore and Brunei import it, and Thailand and Malaysia do both. Sziraczki of the UN's International Labour Organization points out that, in the next ten years, the total labour force of the worker-exporting countries should grow by about a third. It makes sense to work on the problem before it gets out of control.

  People in the receiving countries seem to be worried about competition for their jobs. Most Thais said their government should admit (准入) no more foreign workers, and a few thought otherwise. Even in Singapore, just over half of people are against admitting more foreign workers. Malaysians think that the increase in foreign workers has worsened crime rates (犯罪率).

57. It can be inferred from the case of the Philippines that__________.           [C]

 A. the country is Asia's main source of migrant workers

  B. labour exports lead to a 10% growth of its GDP

  C. the outflow of labour helps solve its social problems

  D. the country both exports and imports labour force

58. The flow of labour is a growing problem because ____________.            [A]

  A. there is a greater flow of labour than reported

  B. more Indonesians work abroad without papers

  C. some countries suffer from low birth rates

  D. the ASEAN is against admitting foreign workers

59. For the labour-importing countries, the flow of labour may lead to_________.     [D]

  A. higher birth rates                      B. lower crime rates

  C. greater money inflows                 D. stronger job competition

60. The writer of the text seems to_____________.                            [B]

  A. support the flow of labour between countries

  B. report fairly on the question of labour flow

  C. express his worries over the ASEAN's decision

  D. regard the outflow of labour as a serious problem

(二)根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

提纲：

第1段：Lora利用暑假打工的理由

第2段：Lora父母不同意的理由

第3段：你给Lora的具体建议

 I think that Lora wants to work part-time for these reasons.

【范文】

   I think that Lora wants to work part-time for these reasons. First, she can make some pocket money to meet her daily needs and thus develop a sense of independence. Second, she can learn how to deal with various problems in the workplace. Third, she can build up new friendships and improve her social skills.

  But her parents may regard learning as an increasingly important task for Lora. This holiday should be a catch-up time for independent study. Besides, personal safety may also be one of their major considerations.

   My advice for Lora is this: make a detailed plan for her study and work; ask her friends to work together with her, and tell her parents that she can manage things properly. I wish Lora a pleasant summer.
