第1题：
Animals are friends of human beings, so the languages of all nations contain a lot of words about animals. Certain words for animals do carry similar denotative and connotative meanings in both languages. In English, for instance, “dove” is often related to “peace”, and in Chinese we have a similar term “和平鸽”. Another example is that “fox” and “狐狸” both imply the quality of “being sly”, as is obvious in the idioms of “as sly as a fox” and “像狐狸一样狡猾”.
However, there are many words with the same denotative meanings but different connotative meanings. For instance, “bat” is an evil animal in European folk legends. The English idioms like “as blind as a bat” and “as crazy as a bat” give explanation by themselves. But many Chinese people believe that “bat” is the symbol of good luck, health and happiness. This is mainly because in “蝙蝠” “蝠” is pronounced the same with “福” (good fortune) in “幸福” (happiness) and “洪福” (limitless blessing).
Still, there are many other words whose denotative and connotative meanings are both different in English and Chinese. For example, in the western world, “dragon” is a fire-spitting mythical animal, signifying violence, as in “He is a bit of dragon here.” By contrast, most Chinese people regard “龙” (Long) as a symbol of dignity and power, as in the idiom “望子成龙” (hold high hopes for one’s child).
1. Some English words about animals carry both denotative and connotative meanings.()
A.True
B.False
2. Many words from Chinese and English are the same in both the denotational meanings and connotational meanings, such as “fox” and “狐狸”.()
A.True
B.False
3. The Chinese word “蝙蝠” carries the same connotative meanings with the English word “bat”.()
A.True
B.False
4. The Chinese word “龙” carries the same denotative meaning with the English word “dragon”.()
A.True
B.False
5.“He is a bit of dragon here.” The equivalent Chinese version of this sentence is: 他在这一带为非作歹。()
A.True
B.False

Music Used as a Healing Therapy
1 .Music has long been used to treat patients suffering from different problems.In 400 BC,its healing properties were documented by the ancient Greeks. More recently,in both world wars in the last century, medical workers used music therapy（疗法）with people suf-fering from trauma（外伤）.Currently, it is used as a treatment for many diseases, such as cancer,and it has also been used with patients with long-term pain and learning disabilities.
2 .There is growing evidence that music can caused physical changes to the body which can im-prove our health. In the Welcome Trust study,which took place over three years at the Chelsea and Westminster hospital in London,patients were asked to listen to musical perform-ances. As a result,it was found that stress levels were significantly reduced,recovery times were improved,and fewer drugs were needed.
3. These very positive results are partly due to general well-being（良好的健康状况）.It is already accepted that when people feel happy and have a positive approach to life,they are more likely to feel better and recover from disease quickly. Music increases this feeling of joy and adds to the recovery process.
4 .However,not all these benefits can be attributed to an increase in general well-being. Music has other effects which have not yet been understood. According to Professor Robert-son,a scientist and musician,some effects of music are mysterious and are,therefore,being investigated further. It has been suggested that the sounds and rhythms of music help stimu-late the brain and send electrical messages to the muscles.
5 .Science,however,demands facts and hard evidence. Many in the medical profession have not yet recognized the healing benefits of music,since reports have been based mainly on various stories of evidence. These new studies could provide proof to doctors that music is a suitable treatment for many conditions. One day doctors may even “prescribe”（开处方） music,but that could be a long time in the future.Many doctors don't believe that music can treat diseases because______.
A: recover from disease quickly
B: there is not enough hard evidence
C: use their minds actively
D: it improves general well-being
E: listen to musical performances
F: it brings many other benefits答案：B解析：文章第一段第一句是主题句，意为：长期以来，音乐都被用于治疗不同疾病 的患者。C项History of music therapy（音乐疗法的历史）与主题句意思相符，故选C。
文章第二段第一句是主题句，意为：越来越多的证据表明，音乐能引起一些 身体变化，这些变化可以改善我们的健康状况。E项Positive Physical Changes Caused by Music（音乐引起的积极的身体变化）与主题句意思相符，故选E。
文章第三段主要讲这些正面结果的部分原因来自于总体幸福感。当人们感到高兴并且生活态度积极时，人们自身的感觉会更好，并且能很快地从疾病中恢复过来，而音 乐能增加这样的愉悦感。B项Increase in General Well-Being（提高总体幸福感）符合本段主题，故选B。
文章第四段主要讲，音乐疗法的益处并不都来自于幸福感的提升，音乐的其他作用到现在还没有被弄明白，罗伯森教授说，音乐的一些作用是很神秘的。D项Other Mysterious Effects of Music（音乐的其他神秘作用）符合本段主题，故选D。
题干意为“研究人员已经发现，当病人收听音乐表演的时候，他们的压力水平会下降。”文章第二段最后一句指出，病人的压力水平明显减低，恢复的时间缩短，需要的药物减少。E项listen to musical performances（收听音乐表演）与原句意思相符，故选E。
题干意为“音乐能够治疗患者的部分原因是因为它能提高总体幸福感。”文章第三段第一句指出，这些正面结果的部分原因来自于总体幸福感。最后一句指出，音乐能增强人的愉悦感，加快恢复进度。D项it improves general well-being（它能提高总体幸福感）与原句意思相符，故选D。
题干意为“那些总是看到生活中积极一面的人更有可能从疾病中很快地恢复过来。”文章第三段第二句指出，当人们感到高兴以及生活态度积极时，人们自身的感觉会更好，并且能很快地从疾病中恢复过来，A项recover from disease quickly（从疾病中快速地恢复过来）与原句意思相符，故选A。
题干意为“很多医生不相信音乐可以治疗疾病是因为没有真凭实据。”文章第五段前两句指出，然而科学需要真凭实据，医学界的很多人并不认可音乐的治疗作用，因为相关报告主要是基于各种不同的故事。B项there is not enough hard evidence（没有真凭实据）与原句意思相符，故选B。 -

资料：Anything that affects the smooth flow of information is known as noise. This might be, for example, the language used,an in appropriate use of technology or the different levels of skill and knowledge of the sender and receiver.

In the traditional air-conditioning systems found in most large buildings，water is pumped through the building in a continuous cycle.The water is first cooled to a temperature of 4℃ in machines called chillers.It is then sent to individual units that cool the air in each room.As the water flows through the building，it gradually becomes warmer.Finally，it reaches the roof ，where it is left to cool down naturally in a water tower.After that it is returned to the chillers，where the cycle begins again.Toronto lies on the shore of Lake Ontario，one of North America's Great Lakes，and the new system makes use of cold water taken from about 80 meters below the surface of the lake.At this depth，the water in the lake remains at 4℃ all year round.This is exactly the temperature to which the water in air-conditioning systems is cooled.However，the water from the lake is not pumped directly into the air-conditioning systems.Instead，it is used to cool the water that is already inside the air-conditioning systems.After that，the lake water is added to the city's ordinary water supply.Enwave，the company that developed this deep-lake cooling system，says that it uses 75 percent less energy than traditional air conditioning.And since no CFCs are used，no damage can be caused to the ozone layer.Not every city is located next to a large lake，but experts believe that systems like the one being used in Toronto could be built elsewhere by using other natural sources of cold water.Which of the following is true?AEnwave's system is said to work only in cities located near the Great Lakes.

Passage Four
"Cool" is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings.
"Cool" can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, "It's cool. ' You may think, "He's so cool," when you see your favorite football player.
We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of "cool". You can use it instead of many words such as "new" or "surprising". Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student's paper was just the one sentence, "It's so cool." Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.
But the story also shows a scarcity of words. Without "cool", some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word "cool"? I can. And I think they are also very cool.
46. We know that the word "cool" has had______.
A. only one meaning
B. no meanings
C. the same meaning
D. many different meanings
正确答案：D46．答案为D 从短文第一段As the world has changed，the word has had many different meanings可知cool有很多不同的意思，D为正确选项。

Music Used as a Healing Therapy
1 .Music has long been used to treat patients suffering from different problems.In 400 BC,its healing properties were documented by the ancient Greeks. More recently,in both world wars in the last century, medical workers used music therapy（疗法）with people suf-fering from trauma（外伤）.Currently, it is used as a treatment for many diseases, such as cancer,and it has also been used with patients with long-term pain and learning disabilities.
2 .There is growing evidence that music can caused physical changes to the body which can im-prove our health. In the Welcome Trust study,which took place over three years at the Chelsea and Westminster hospital in London,patients were asked to listen to musical perform-ances. As a result,it was found that stress levels were significantly reduced,recovery times were improved,and fewer drugs were needed.
3. These very positive results are partly due to general well-being（良好的健康状况）.It is already accepted that when people feel happy and have a positive approach to life,they are more likely to feel better and recover from disease quickly. Music increases this feeling of joy and adds to the recovery process.
4 .However,not all these benefits can be attributed to an increase in general well-being. Music has other effects which have not yet been understood. According to Professor Robert-son,a scientist and musician,some effects of music are mysterious and are,therefore,being investigated further. It has been suggested that the sounds and rhythms of music help stimu-late the brain and send electrical messages to the muscles.
5 .Science,however,demands facts and hard evidence. Many in the medical profession have not yet recognized the healing benefits of music,since reports have been based mainly on various stories of evidence. These new studies could provide proof to doctors that music is a suitable treatment for many conditions. One day doctors may even “prescribe”（开处方） music,but that could be a long time in the future.Music can treat patients partly because______.

单选题请阅读 Passage 1，完成第 21~25小题。Passage 1These days，many large city buildings are equipped with their own air-conditioning systems.These systems help keep the buildings cool，but they can also damage the environment.Since they use a lot of electricity，for instance，they contribute indirectly to global warming.In addition，the water that flows through the systems is often cooled using chemicals called chlorofluorocarbons，or CFCs，that are believed to damage the Earth's ozone layer.Recently，though，a system has been built in the city of Toronto，Canada，that cools buildings with little damage to the environment. In the traditional air-conditioning systems found in most large buildings，water is pumped through the building in a continuous cycle.The water is first cooled to a temperature of 4℃ in machines called chillers.It is then sent to individual units that cool the air in each room.As the water flows through the building，it gradually becomes warmer.Finally，it reaches the roof ，where it is left to cool down naturally in a water tower.After that it is returned to the chillers，where the cycle begins again.Toronto lies on the shore of Lake Ontario，one of North America's Great Lakes，and the new system makes use of cold water taken from about 80 meters below the surface of the lake.At this depth，the water in the lake remains at 4℃ all year round.This is exactly the temperature to which the water in air-conditioning systems is cooled.However，the water from the lake is not pumped directly into the air-conditioning systems.Instead，it is used to cool the water that is already inside the air-conditioning systems.After that，the lake water is added to the city's ordinary water supply.Enwave，the company that developed this deep-lake cooling system，says that it uses 75 percent less energy than traditional air conditioning.And since no CFCs are used，no damage can be caused to the ozone layer.Not every city is located next to a large lake，but experts believe that systems like the one being used in Toronto could be built elsewhere by using other natural sources of cold water.What happens in the end to the water from Lake Ontario?AIt is used by the residents of Toronto.
BIt is returned to a place deep in the lake.
CIt is cooled down before being used again.
DIt is added to the water inside air-conditioning systems.
