Spiders
Spiders can be distinguished from other Arachnids because the prosoma (combined head and thorax) is only separated from the opisthosoma (abdomen) by a narrow waist, in other Arachnids the whole body appears to be much more of a single unit. All spiders produce silk, but only some construct webs to catch their homes and to protect their eggs.
All spiders possess poison glands but very few of them are dangerous to humans, of the 600+species in Britain only 12 (at least one of these is a recent human assisted colonist) are strong enough to pierce the human skin, and apart from allergies, none are more dangerous than a common wasp. Most spiders have 8 eyes (though some have 6,4,2 or 0), as well as 8 legs. (by the way if you count the claws as separate leg section [which you shouldn’t really] then their legs have 8 parts as well [coxa, trochanter, femur, patella, tibia, tarsus, metatarus, claws]) There are more than 32000 known species of spider in the world. No human being has ever been officially recorder as having died as the result of a ‘tarantula’ bite.
All spiders are carnivorous and feed only on liquids, i.e. their preys natural juices and the breakdown products of external digestion (meaning they spit, exude or inject digestive juices onto/into their prey ad suck up the resulting soup). So why not invite some to your next social do?
What’s In a Name
The word ‘Arachnida’ comes from the Greek word ‘Arachne’ who was the daughter of Idmon of Colophon in Lydia, a dyer by trade. Arachne herself was a weaver, the best in all the known world. However in a foolish moment she challenged Athene, the daughter of Zeus and goddess of, among other things, waving to a weaving competition. Arachne wove so perfect a cloth that she tore it to shreds. Arachne became depressed after this and in the end she hung herself. Athene stirred to remorse at the knowledge of what her anger had wrought turned the rope Arachne had used to hang herself into a web and Arachne herself into a spider so that the beauty of her spinning should not be lost to the world ever again.
The Great Household Spider Safari
There are just over six hundred different sorts of spider in the British Isles. But of these only a handful are commonly found in houses. At the front of the head are a pair of what appear to be small legs. These are called palps and are used to guide food to the spider’s mouth. The front of the head also has a group of six or eight eyes. On the underside of the body at the rear, are four or six small conical bumps or cylinders. There are the spinnerets from which the spider produces the silk to make its webs.
Telling male and female spiders apart is easily done by looking at their palps. Males have swollen ends to their palps which makes them look as if they are wearing boxing gloves, these are often strange shapes if looked at with a hand lens. Females have normal looking palps that are not swollen at the ends.
The largest spider is the Goliath spider, the female of which grows to reach a leg span of ten inches. The largest spider in Britain is the Cardinal spider which is a close cousin of Tim Tegenaria. Females can achieve a leg span of four and a half inches. It is known as the Cardinal spider as it was common in Hampton Court when Cardinal Wolsey lived there. The sight of these long legged spiders wandering around the palace at night used to frighten him. So far 32000 different kinds of spider have been discovered from all over the world. Britain has 630 different kinds of spider of which 250 are tiny Money spiders. The smallest of which has a body less than one millimeter long.

Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
In the early days of the internet, many people worried that as people in the rich world embraced new computing and communications technologies, people in the poor world would be left stranded on the wrong side of a “digital divide.” Yet the debate over the digital divide is founded on a myth — hat plugging poor countries into the internet will help them to become rich rapidly.
This is highly unlikely, because the digital divide is not a problem in itself, but a symptom of deeper, more important divides: of income, development and literacy. Fewer people in poor countries than in rich ones own computers and have access to the internet simply because they are too poor, are illiterate, or have other more immediate concerns, such as food, health care and security. So even if it were possible to wave a magic wand and cause a computer to appear in every household on earth, it would not achieve very much: a computer is not useful if you have no food or electricity and cannot read. Yet such Wand-waving — through the construction of specific local infrastructure projects such as rural telecenters — is just the sort of thing for which the UN's new fund is intended.
This sort of thing is the wrong way to go about addressing the inequality in access to digital technologies: it is treating the symptoms, rather than the underlying causes. The benefits of building rural computing centers, for example, are unclear. Rather than trying to close the divide for the sake of it, the more sensible goal is to determine how best to use technology to promote bottom-up development. And the answer to that question turns out to be remarkably clear: by promoting the spread not of PCs and the Internet, but of mobile phones.
57. What is the main idea of this passage?
A) Plugging poor countries into the Internet will help them to become rich rapidly.
B) Poor countries should be given more basic devices other than advanced ones.
C) Rich countries should help poor ones becoming rich.
D) People in poor countries cannot afford devices such as computer.
58. What did the author mean by referring "digital divide." (Line 3, Para. 1)?
A) Digital technology will make the gap between rich world and poor world wider.
B) Digital technology will divide people into rich and poor world.
C) People can be divided digitally.
D) To divide people in digital world is wrong.
59. We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that.
A) people in poor countries cannot use computer because of illiteracy.
B) poor people cannot use computers.
C) there would be no magic to cause a computer to appear in every household on earth.
D) people in poor countries need more basic living conditions than computers.
60. Considering the following sentences, which one would the author most agree?
A) Digital technology is useless.
B) Digital divide will help poor countries becoming rich.
C) Poor people need more immediate concerns, such as food, health care and security.
D) Mobile phones should be promoted firstly.
61. The following passage will probably be:
A) How to promote using of mobile phones.
B) How to use technology to promote bottom-up development.
C) The benefits of building rural computing centers.
D) How to meet the need of food, health and security in poor countries.
Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors (流星 ) but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.
Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called “rem”. Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 reins has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage — a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will no be discovered until the birth of deformed children or even grandchildren.
Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.
62. According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to man in that ____.
A) it protects him against the harmful rays from space
B) it provides sufficient light for plant growth
C) it supplies the heat necessary for human survival
D) it screens off the falling meteors
63. We know from the passage that ____.
A) exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatal
B) the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in coming
C) radiation is avoidable in space exploration
D) astronauts in spacesuits needn't worry about radiation damage
64. The harm radiation has done to the Apollo crew members ____
A) is significant B) seems overestimated
C) is enormous D) remains unknown
65. It can be inferred from the passage that ____.
A) the Apollo mission was very successful
B) protection from space radiation is no easy job
C) astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildren
D) radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers
66. The best title for this passage would be ____.
A) The Atmosphere and Our Environment
B) Research on Radiation
C) Effects of Space Radiation
D) Importance of Protection Against Radiation
Part V Cloze (15 minutes)

You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Who won the World Cup 1994 football game? What happened at the United Nations? How did the critics like the new play? 67 an event takes place; newspapers are on the streets 68 the details. Wherever anything happens in the world, reports are on the spot to 69 the news.
Newspapers have one basic 70 , to get the news as quickly as possible from its source, from those who make it to those who want to 71 it. Radio, telegraph, television, and 72 inventions brought competition for newspapers. So did the development of magazines and other means of communication. 73 , this competition merely spurred the newspapers on. They quickly made use of the newer and faster means of communication to improve the 74 and thus the efficiency of their own operations. Today more newspapers are 75 and read than ever before. Competition also led newspapers to branch out to many other fields. Besides keeping readers 76 of the latest news, today's newspapers 77 and influence readers about politics and other important and serious matters. Newspapers influence readers' economic choices 78 advertising. Most newspapers depend on advertising for their very 79 .Newspapers are sold at a price that 80 even a small fraction of the cost of production. The main 81 of income for most newspapers is commercial advertising. The 82 in selling advertising depends on a newspaper's value to advertisers. This 83 in terms of circulation. How many people read the newspaper? Circulation depends 84 on the work of the circulation department and on the services or entertainment 85 in a newspaper's pages. But for the most part, circulation depends on a newspaper's value to readers as a source of information 86 the community, city, country, state, nation, and world—and even outer space.

答案：
Part I
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.當(dāng)出現(xiàn)all這種過于絕對(duì)的詞語時(shí)，考生應(yīng)該引起注意。一般這樣的命題多數(shù)是不正確的。首段中有句話：“All spiders produce silk, but only some construct webs to catch their food”命題中all的說法過于絕對(duì)。
2.T.該命題是對(duì)原文第二段首句話的同義改寫。
3.F.原文中第二段首句中寫到，“of the 600+ spiders in Britain only 12 are strong enough to pierce the human skin”，因此并不是命題中說的當(dāng)它們刺進(jìn)人的皮膚會(huì)經(jīng)常殺死人。
4.F．原文中說，“Arachne became depressed after this and in the end she hung herself.”注意代詞this指代上面的句子，結(jié)合上一句一起理解，命題顯然是錯(cuò)誤的。
5. NG.文章中只出現(xiàn)過一次Tim Tegenaria，所以該題很好定位，即最后一段的第二句。可是文章中并沒有出現(xiàn)tarantula spiders。
6.T.該命題定位在最后一段倒數(shù)第三句話處。
7.NG.首先定位Money spiders出現(xiàn)的位置是文章的最后的兩句，可是并沒有提到它是最小的。
8.32000
該題由關(guān)鍵詞species of spider定位在第二段倒數(shù)第二句。
9.looking at their pales
該題定位在倒數(shù)第二段的首句。
10.the Goliath spider
掃讀全文的時(shí)候注意有級(jí)的地方。由此我們可以將該題定位在文章最后一段的首句。

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: 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.

Ms. White visited the store while doing Christmas shopping, but did not buy anything. She was followed though the town by a store manager. He had been told that a customer saw her take a card and put it in her shopping bag. He stopped her at a bookstore as she was reading a book. Ms. White said, “This man, a total stranger, suddenly grasped my bag and asked if he could look in it.” She was taken back to the store and shut in a small room in full view of shopper for 20 minutes until the police arrived. At the police station she was body-searched and nothing was found. Her lawyer said the department store sent an insincere apology and they insisted that she may have been stealing. The hearing continues today.
Q1. What does the story tell us about the old woman?
Q2. What was said to have been stolen?
Q3. What happened to Ms. White after she was taken back to the store?
Q4. What was now the attitude of the department store in this legal case?
Passage Two
My friend, Vemon Davies kept birds. One day he phoned and told me he was going away for a week. He asked me to feed the birds for him and said that he would leave the key to his front door in my mailbox.
Unfortunately, I forgot all about the birds until the night before Vemon was going to return. What was worse, it was already dark when I arrived at his house. I soon found the key Vernon gave me could not unlock either the front door or the back door. I was getting desperate. I kept thinking of what Vemon would say when he came back.
I was just going to give up when I noticed that one bedroom window was slightly open. I found a barrel and pushed it under the window. As the barrel was very heavy, I made a lot of noise. But in the end, I managed to climb up and open the window.
I actually had one leg inside the bedroom when I suddenly realized that someone was shining a torch up at me. I looked down and saw a policeman and an old lady, one of Vemon’s neighbours. “What are you doing up there?” said the policeman. Feeling like a complete fool, I replied, “I was just going to feed Mr. Davies’s birds.”
Q1. Why couldn’t the man open the door?
Q2. Why did the man feel desperate?
Q3. Why did the man feel like a fool?
Passage Three
When Iraq troops blew up hundreds of Kuwaiti oil wells at the end of the Gulf War, Scientists feared environmental disaster. Would black powder in the smoke from the fires circle the globe and block out the sun?
Many said, “No way; rain would wash the black power from the atmosphere. But in America, air sampling balloons have detected high concentrations of particles similar to those collected in Kuwait that didn’t catch fire. It has formed huge lakes in the Kuwaiti desert. They trap insects and birds, and poison a variety of other desert animals and plants.
The only good news is that the oil lakes have not affected the underground water resources. So far, the oil has not been absorbed because of the hard sand just below the surface.
Nothing, however, stops the oil from evaporating. The resulting poisonous gases are choking nearby residents.
Officials are trying to organize a quick cleanup, but they are not sure how to do it. One possibility is to burn the oil. Get those black-powder detectors ready.
Q1. What were the scientists worried about soon after the Gulf War?
Q2. What was the good news for scientists?
Q3. What are the officials trying to do at the moment?
Section C
These days people who do manual work often receive far more money than people who work in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as “white-collar workers” for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.
When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit. Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustman kept his secret. Alf’s wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office. He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him “Mr. Bloggs”, not “Alf”.

Section B
Passage 1
文章導(dǎo)讀：許多人認(rèn)為數(shù)字化給落后的國(guó)家?guī)砹艘粋€(gè)迅速發(fā)展的機(jī)會(huì)，而另一些人認(rèn)為數(shù)字化加大了富國(guó)和窮國(guó)之間的距離，使窮國(guó)更加落后。作者分析了窮國(guó)的情況，認(rèn)為窮國(guó)應(yīng)該在更加基礎(chǔ)的方面得到幫助，而不是迅速普及電腦等先進(jìn)設(shè)施。
57. B 從第二段我們可以看出，作者認(rèn)為，窮國(guó)的人民關(guān)心更加現(xiàn)實(shí)的東西，比如食物、醫(yī)療和安全保障。即使提供給他們?cè)S多先進(jìn)的數(shù)字設(shè)備，他們也會(huì)因?yàn)槿狈χR(shí)或沒有電力而不能用。所以與其提供這些，不如提供更加基礎(chǔ)的援助，所以選B。第一段最后一句話說，作者認(rèn)為只是數(shù)字技術(shù)使窮國(guó)變富是一個(gè)神話，所以A錯(cuò)誤。作者只是從數(shù)字設(shè)備和基礎(chǔ)設(shè)備兩個(gè)方面比較，而不是籠統(tǒng)的說富國(guó)應(yīng)該幫助窮國(guó)變富，所以C錯(cuò)，從第二段可以看出，作者說即使提供給世界上每個(gè)家庭一臺(tái)計(jì)算機(jī)，也不會(huì)有太多作用，顯然問題不在于能不能負(fù)擔(dān)起計(jì)算機(jī)，所以D錯(cuò)。
58. A divide的意思是分離，隔開。digital divide 可譯成“數(shù)字鴻溝”，即數(shù)字化使世界的貧富差距越來越大。所以A正確。在沒有數(shù)字化之前，世界上就存在貧富分化。數(shù)字化的出現(xiàn)只是 使其差距更大，而不是產(chǎn)生的原因，所以B，C，D錯(cuò)誤。
59. D 文章的大意是窮國(guó)更需要基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施和幫助，而第二段作者通過舉例和論證說明了論點(diǎn)，所以本題選D。第二段雖然說了，窮國(guó)的人民因?yàn)闆]有文化而不能使用計(jì)算機(jī)，但這不是全部的原因，所以A錯(cuò)。答案B過于籠統(tǒng)，只說窮人無法使用電腦，而文章說明了窮人不能使用電腦是有具體原因的，所以B錯(cuò)。讓每個(gè)家庭都有一臺(tái)電腦是作者的一個(gè)假設(shè)，用于說明窮人無法使用電腦的原因，而不是討論這個(gè)假設(shè)可不可能實(shí)現(xiàn)，所以C錯(cuò)。
60. C 文章的第二段第二句說明了窮國(guó)更多關(guān)注的是"food, health care and security." 所以選C。作者分析了數(shù)字化在現(xiàn)階段大多數(shù)窮國(guó)沒有太多好處，但是并沒有否定數(shù)字技術(shù)的作用，所以A錯(cuò)誤。在第一段的最后一句，作者說在給他們電腦和網(wǎng)絡(luò)等高級(jí)設(shè)備之前，應(yīng)該先晉級(jí)基礎(chǔ)設(shè)備。在這里移動(dòng)電話只是基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施的一個(gè)例子，并不是說一定要先擁有移動(dòng)電話才能用電腦，所以答案D錯(cuò)。
61. B 本題用排除法：移動(dòng)電話只是一個(gè)例子來說明更加基礎(chǔ)的設(shè)備，所以答案A錯(cuò)誤。建造鄉(xiāng)村電腦中心的好處與文章說明的問題無關(guān)，所以答案C錯(cuò)誤。解決糧食、健康、安全保障的問題范圍過于寬廣與本文主旨無關(guān)，所以答案D錯(cuò)，最后得出答案為B。
Passage 2
文章導(dǎo)讀：太空是個(gè)充滿了神秘的地方，同時(shí)也藏著危險(xiǎn)。其中來自外太空的輻射尤為恐怖，但是，看完這篇文章，你會(huì)相信聰明的人總會(huì)找到一些解決辦法的。
62. A 問題問的是為什么大氣層對(duì)人類是至關(guān)重要的。文章的第四句說到了大氣層屏蔽了大量的外來射線。
63. B A，C，D選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容在文章中均沒有明確肯定，只有B對(duì)應(yīng)了原文的第二段的第四句話---問題在于很難發(fā)現(xiàn)輻射對(duì)人的損傷，當(dāng)事人當(dāng)時(shí)可能感覺良好，但是他的遺傳細(xì)胞可能受到損傷，將會(huì)影響到他的孩子，甚至后代。
64. D 從文章中我們得知，到現(xiàn)在為止還沒有報(bào)告顯示阿波羅號(hào)受到輻射損害，所以A，B，C選項(xiàng)均與文章意思相悖，只有D相對(duì)正確。
65. D 該題對(duì)應(yīng)了原文的最后一段。文章說雖然到現(xiàn)在為止還沒有報(bào)告顯示阿波羅號(hào)受到輻射損害，但畢竟它登月的時(shí)間短。人類能否長(zhǎng)時(shí)間接受輻射照射還是個(gè)未知數(shù)。防輻射的藥雖然已經(jīng)研制出來，但只能削減輻射對(duì)人類的損害，還談不上根治。所以說防太空輻射不是容易的事情。
66. D 此文主要是談?shì)椛涞奈：Υ笠约胺垒椛涞囊恍┐胧最準(zhǔn)確。

【解析】to give和giving都合乎語法，但giving強(qiáng)調(diào)的是正在發(fā)生的動(dòng)作，而此處重點(diǎn)表達(dá)的是“反應(yīng)快”，不是正在做什么。

Spiders
Spiders can be distinguished from other Arachnids because the prosoma (combined head and thorax) is only separated from the opisthosoma (abdomen) by a narrow waist, in other Arachnids the whole body appears to be much more of a single unit. All spiders produce silk, but only some construct webs to catch their homes and to protect their eggs.
All spiders possess poison glands but very few of them are dangerous to humans, of the 600+species in Britain only 12 (at least one of these is a recent human assisted colonist) are strong enough to pierce the human skin, and apart from allergies, none are more dangerous than a common wasp. Most spiders have 8 eyes (though some have 6,4,2 or 0), as well as 8 legs. (by the way if you count the claws as separate leg section [which you shouldn’t really] then their legs have 8 parts as well [coxa, trochanter, femur, patella, tibia, tarsus, metatarus, claws]) There are more than 32000 known species of spider in the world. No human being has ever been officially recorder as having died as the result of a ‘tarantula’ bite.
All spiders are carnivorous and feed only on liquids, i.e. their preys natural juices and the breakdown products of external digestion (meaning they spit, exude or inject digestive juices onto/into their prey ad suck up the resulting soup). So why not invite some to your next social do?
What’s In a Name
The word ‘Arachnida’ comes from the Greek word ‘Arachne’ who was the daughter of Idmon of Colophon in Lydia, a dyer by trade. Arachne herself was a weaver, the best in all the known world. However in a foolish moment she challenged Athene, the daughter of Zeus and goddess of, among other things, waving to a weaving competition. Arachne wove so perfect a cloth that she tore it to shreds. Arachne became depressed after this and in the end she hung herself. Athene stirred to remorse at the knowledge of what her anger had wrought turned the rope Arachne had used to hang herself into a web and Arachne herself into a spider so that the beauty of her spinning should not be lost to the world ever again.
The Great Household Spider Safari
There are just over six hundred different sorts of spider in the British Isles. But of these only a handful are commonly found in houses. At the front of the head are a pair of what appear to be small legs. These are called palps and are used to guide food to the spider’s mouth. The front of the head also has a group of six or eight eyes. On the underside of the body at the rear, are four or six small conical bumps or cylinders. There are the spinnerets from which the spider produces the silk to make its webs.
Telling male and female spiders apart is easily done by looking at their palps. Males have swollen ends to their palps which makes them look as if they are wearing boxing gloves, these are often strange shapes if looked at with a hand lens. Females have normal looking palps that are not swollen at the ends.
The largest spider is the Goliath spider, the female of which grows to reach a leg span of ten inches. The largest spider in Britain is the Cardinal spider which is a close cousin of Tim Tegenaria. Females can achieve a leg span of four and a half inches. It is known as the Cardinal spider as it was common in Hampton Court when Cardinal Wolsey lived there. The sight of these long legged spiders wandering around the palace at night used to frighten him. So far 32000 different kinds of spider have been discovered from all over the world. Britain has 630 different kinds of spider of which 250 are tiny Money spiders. The smallest of which has a body less than one millimeter long.

Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
In the early days of the internet, many people worried that as people in the rich world embraced new computing and communications technologies, people in the poor world would be left stranded on the wrong side of a “digital divide.” Yet the debate over the digital divide is founded on a myth — hat plugging poor countries into the internet will help them to become rich rapidly.
This is highly unlikely, because the digital divide is not a problem in itself, but a symptom of deeper, more important divides: of income, development and literacy. Fewer people in poor countries than in rich ones own computers and have access to the internet simply because they are too poor, are illiterate, or have other more immediate concerns, such as food, health care and security. So even if it were possible to wave a magic wand and cause a computer to appear in every household on earth, it would not achieve very much: a computer is not useful if you have no food or electricity and cannot read. Yet such Wand-waving — through the construction of specific local infrastructure projects such as rural telecenters — is just the sort of thing for which the UN's new fund is intended.
This sort of thing is the wrong way to go about addressing the inequality in access to digital technologies: it is treating the symptoms, rather than the underlying causes. The benefits of building rural computing centers, for example, are unclear. Rather than trying to close the divide for the sake of it, the more sensible goal is to determine how best to use technology to promote bottom-up development. And the answer to that question turns out to be remarkably clear: by promoting the spread not of PCs and the Internet, but of mobile phones.
57. What is the main idea of this passage?
A) Plugging poor countries into the Internet will help them to become rich rapidly.
B) Poor countries should be given more basic devices other than advanced ones.
C) Rich countries should help poor ones becoming rich.
D) People in poor countries cannot afford devices such as computer.
58. What did the author mean by referring "digital divide." (Line 3, Para. 1)?
A) Digital technology will make the gap between rich world and poor world wider.
B) Digital technology will divide people into rich and poor world.
C) People can be divided digitally.
D) To divide people in digital world is wrong.
59. We can infer from the 2nd paragraph that.
A) people in poor countries cannot use computer because of illiteracy.
B) poor people cannot use computers.
C) there would be no magic to cause a computer to appear in every household on earth.
D) people in poor countries need more basic living conditions than computers.
60. Considering the following sentences, which one would the author most agree?
A) Digital technology is useless.
B) Digital divide will help poor countries becoming rich.
C) Poor people need more immediate concerns, such as food, health care and security.
D) Mobile phones should be promoted firstly.
61. The following passage will probably be:
A) How to promote using of mobile phones.
B) How to use technology to promote bottom-up development.
C) The benefits of building rural computing centers.
D) How to meet the need of food, health and security in poor countries.
Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
Space is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors (流星 ) but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere again acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is essential for plants to make the food which we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.
Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. The unit of radiation is called “rem”. Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1 rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 reins has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage — a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will no be discovered until the birth of deformed children or even grandchildren.
Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high amount of rems. So far, no dangerous amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.
62. According to the first paragraph, the atmosphere is essential to man in that ____.
A) it protects him against the harmful rays from space
B) it provides sufficient light for plant growth
C) it supplies the heat necessary for human survival
D) it screens off the falling meteors
63. We know from the passage that ____.
A) exposure to even tiny amounts of radiation is fatal
B) the effect of exposure to radiation is slow in coming
C) radiation is avoidable in space exploration
D) astronauts in spacesuits needn't worry about radiation damage
64. The harm radiation has done to the Apollo crew members ____
A) is significant B) seems overestimated
C) is enormous D) remains unknown
65. It can be inferred from the passage that ____.
A) the Apollo mission was very successful
B) protection from space radiation is no easy job
C) astronauts will have deformed children or grandchildren
D) radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers
66. The best title for this passage would be ____.
A) The Atmosphere and Our Environment
B) Research on Radiation
C) Effects of Space Radiation
D) Importance of Protection Against Radiation

Who won the World Cup 1994 football game? What happened at the United Nations? How did the critics like the new play? 67 an event takes place; newspapers are on the streets 68 the details. Wherever anything happens in the world, reports are on the spot to 69 the news.
Newspapers have one basic 70 , to get the news as quickly as possible from its source, from those who make it to those who want to 71 it. Radio, telegraph, television, and 72 inventions brought competition for newspapers. So did the development of magazines and other means of communication. 73 , this competition merely spurred the newspapers on. They quickly made use of the newer and faster means of communication to improve the 74 and thus the efficiency of their own operations. Today more newspapers are 75 and read than ever before. Competition also led newspapers to branch out to many other fields. Besides keeping readers 76 of the latest news, today's newspapers 77 and influence readers about politics and other important and serious matters. Newspapers influence readers' economic choices 78 advertising. Most newspapers depend on advertising for their very 79 .Newspapers are sold at a price that 80 even a small fraction of the cost of production. The main 81 of income for most newspapers is commercial advertising. The 82 in selling advertising depends on a newspaper's value to advertisers. This 83 in terms of circulation. How many people read the newspaper? Circulation depends 84 on the work of the circulation department and on the services or entertainment 85 in a newspaper's pages. But for the most part, circulation depends on a newspaper's value to readers as a source of information 86 the community, city, country, state, nation, and world—and even outer space.

Part I
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.當(dāng)出現(xiàn)all這種過于絕對(duì)的詞語時(shí)，考生應(yīng)該引起注意。一般這樣的命題多數(shù)是不正確的。首段中有句話：“All spiders produce silk, but only some construct webs to catch their food”命題中all的說法過于絕對(duì)。
2.T.該命題是對(duì)原文第二段首句話的同義改寫。
3.F.原文中第二段首句中寫到，“of the 600+ spiders in Britain only 12 are strong enough to pierce the human skin”，因此并不是命題中說的當(dāng)它們刺進(jìn)人的皮膚會(huì)經(jīng)常殺死人。
4.F．原文中說，“Arachne became depressed after this and in the end she hung herself.”注意代詞this指代上面的句子，結(jié)合上一句一起理解，命題顯然是錯(cuò)誤的。
5. NG.文章中只出現(xiàn)過一次Tim Tegenaria，所以該題很好定位，即最后一段的第二句。可是文章中并沒有出現(xiàn)tarantula spiders。
6.T.該命題定位在最后一段倒數(shù)第三句話處。
7.NG.首先定位Money spiders出現(xiàn)的位置是文章的最后的兩句，可是并沒有提到它是最小的。
8.32000
該題由關(guān)鍵詞species of spider定位在第二段倒數(shù)第二句。
9.looking at their pales
該題定位在倒數(shù)第二段的首句。
10.the Goliath spider
掃讀全文的時(shí)候注意有級(jí)的地方。由此我們可以將該題定位在文章最后一段的首句。

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: 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.

Passage One
An elderly woman yesterday made a legal claim against a department store because it had wrongly accused her of stealing a Christmas card. Ms. Doss white, 72 years old, is claiming $3,000 damages from the store for wrongful arrest and false imprisonment. Ms. White visited the store while doing Christmas shopping, but did not buy anything. She was followed though the town by a store manager. He had been told that a customer saw her take a card and put it in her shopping bag. He stopped her at a bookstore as she was reading a book. Ms. White said, “This man, a total stranger, suddenly grasped my bag and asked if he could look in it.” She was taken back to the store and shut in a small room in full view of shopper for 20 minutes until the police arrived. At the police station she was body-searched and nothing was found. Her lawyer said the department store sent an insincere apology and they insisted that she may have been stealing. The hearing continues today.
Q1. What does the story tell us about the old woman?
Q2. What was said to have been stolen?
Q3. What happened to Ms. White after she was taken back to the store?
Q4. What was now the attitude of the department store in this legal case?
Passage Two
My friend, Vemon Davies kept birds. One day he phoned and told me he was going away for a week. He asked me to feed the birds for him and said that he would leave the key to his front door in my mailbox.
Unfortunately, I forgot all about the birds until the night before Vemon was going to return. What was worse, it was already dark when I arrived at his house. I soon found the key Vernon gave me could not unlock either the front door or the back door. I was getting desperate. I kept thinking of what Vemon would say when he came back.
I was just going to give up when I noticed that one bedroom window was slightly open. I found a barrel and pushed it under the window. As the barrel was very heavy, I made a lot of noise. But in the end, I managed to climb up and open the window.
I actually had one leg inside the bedroom when I suddenly realized that someone was shining a torch up at me. I looked down and saw a policeman and an old lady, one of Vemon’s neighbours. “What are you doing up there?” said the policeman. Feeling like a complete fool, I replied, “I was just going to feed Mr. Davies’s birds.”
Q1. Why couldn’t the man open the door?
Q2. Why did the man feel desperate?
Q3. Why did the man feel like a fool?
Passage Three
When Iraq troops blew up hundreds of Kuwaiti oil wells at the end of the Gulf War, Scientists feared environmental disaster. Would black powder in the smoke from the fires circle the globe and block out the sun?
Many said, “No way; rain would wash the black power from the atmosphere. But in America, air sampling balloons have detected high concentrations of particles similar to those collected in Kuwait that didn’t catch fire. It has formed huge lakes in the Kuwaiti desert. They trap insects and birds, and poison a variety of other desert animals and plants.
The only good news is that the oil lakes have not affected the underground water resources. So far, the oil has not been absorbed because of the hard sand just below the surface.
Nothing, however, stops the oil from evaporating. The resulting poisonous gases are choking nearby residents.
Officials are trying to organize a quick cleanup, but they are not sure how to do it. One possibility is to burn the oil. Get those black-powder detectors ready.
Q1. What were the scientists worried about soon after the Gulf War?
Q2. What was the good news for scientists?
Q3. What are the officials trying to do at the moment?
Section C
These days people who do manual work often receive far more money than people who work in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as “white-collar workers” for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.
When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit. Alf did this for over two years and his fellow dustman kept his secret. Alf’s wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office. He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him “Mr. Bloggs”, not “Alf”.

Passage 1
文章導(dǎo)讀：許多人認(rèn)為數(shù)字化給落后的國(guó)家?guī)砹艘粋€(gè)迅速發(fā)展的機(jī)會(huì)，而另一些人認(rèn)為數(shù)字化加大了富國(guó)和窮國(guó)之間的距離，使窮國(guó)更加落后。作者分析了窮國(guó)的情況，認(rèn)為窮國(guó)應(yīng)該在更加基礎(chǔ)的方面得到幫助，而不是迅速普及電腦等先進(jìn)設(shè)施。
57. B 從第二段我們可以看出，作者認(rèn)為，窮國(guó)的人民關(guān)心更加現(xiàn)實(shí)的東西，比如食物、醫(yī)療和安全保障。即使提供給他們?cè)S多先進(jìn)的數(shù)字設(shè)備，他們也會(huì)因?yàn)槿狈χR(shí)或沒有電力而不能用。所以與其提供這些，不如提供更加基礎(chǔ)的援助，所以選B。第一段最后一句話說，作者認(rèn)為只是數(shù)字技術(shù)使窮國(guó)變富是一個(gè)神話，所以A錯(cuò)誤。作者只是從數(shù)字設(shè)備和基礎(chǔ)設(shè)備兩個(gè)方面比較，而不是籠統(tǒng)的說富國(guó)應(yīng)該幫助窮國(guó)變富，所以C錯(cuò)，從第二段可以看出，作者說即使提供給世界上每個(gè)家庭一臺(tái)計(jì)算機(jī)，也不會(huì)有太多作用，顯然問題不在于能不能負(fù)擔(dān)起計(jì)算機(jī)，所以D錯(cuò)。
58. A divide的意思是分離，隔開。digital divide 可譯成“數(shù)字鴻溝”，即數(shù)字化使世界的貧富差距越來越大。所以A正確。在沒有數(shù)字化之前，世界上就存在貧富分化。數(shù)字化的出現(xiàn)只是 使其差距更大，而不是產(chǎn)生的原因，所以B，C，D錯(cuò)誤。
59. D 文章的大意是窮國(guó)更需要基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施和幫助，而第二段作者通過舉例和論證說明了論點(diǎn)，所以本題選D。第二段雖然說了，窮國(guó)的人民因?yàn)闆]有文化而不能使用計(jì)算機(jī)，但這不是全部的原因，所以A錯(cuò)。答案B過于籠統(tǒng)，只說窮人無法使用電腦，而文章說明了窮人不能使用電腦是有具體原因的，所以B錯(cuò)。讓每個(gè)家庭都有一臺(tái)電腦是作者的一個(gè)假設(shè)，用于說明窮人無法使用電腦的原因，而不是討論這個(gè)假設(shè)可不可能實(shí)現(xiàn)，所以C錯(cuò)。
60. C 文章的第二段第二句說明了窮國(guó)更多關(guān)注的是"food, health care and security." 所以選C。作者分析了數(shù)字化在現(xiàn)階段大多數(shù)窮國(guó)沒有太多好處，但是并沒有否定數(shù)字技術(shù)的作用，所以A錯(cuò)誤。在第一段的最后一句，作者說在給他們電腦和網(wǎng)絡(luò)等高級(jí)設(shè)備之前，應(yīng)該先晉級(jí)基礎(chǔ)設(shè)備。在這里移動(dòng)電話只是基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施的一個(gè)例子，并不是說一定要先擁有移動(dòng)電話才能用電腦，所以答案D錯(cuò)。
61. B 本題用排除法：移動(dòng)電話只是一個(gè)例子來說明更加基礎(chǔ)的設(shè)備，所以答案A錯(cuò)誤。建造鄉(xiāng)村電腦中心的好處與文章說明的問題無關(guān)，所以答案C錯(cuò)誤。解決糧食、健康、安全保障的問題范圍過于寬廣與本文主旨無關(guān)，所以答案D錯(cuò)，最后得出答案為B。
Passage 2
文章導(dǎo)讀：太空是個(gè)充滿了神秘的地方，同時(shí)也藏著危險(xiǎn)。其中來自外太空的輻射尤為恐怖，但是，看完這篇文章，你會(huì)相信聰明的人總會(huì)找到一些解決辦法的。
62. A 問題問的是為什么大氣層對(duì)人類是至關(guān)重要的。文章的第四句說到了大氣層屏蔽了大量的外來射線。
63. B A，C，D選項(xiàng)內(nèi)容在文章中均沒有明確肯定，只有B對(duì)應(yīng)了原文的第二段的第四句話---問題在于很難發(fā)現(xiàn)輻射對(duì)人的損傷，當(dāng)事人當(dāng)時(shí)可能感覺良好，但是他的遺傳細(xì)胞可能受到損傷，將會(huì)影響到他的孩子，甚至后代。
64. D 從文章中我們得知，到現(xiàn)在為止還沒有報(bào)告顯示阿波羅號(hào)受到輻射損害，所以A，B，C選項(xiàng)均與文章意思相悖，只有D相對(duì)正確。
65. D 該題對(duì)應(yīng)了原文的最后一段。文章說雖然到現(xiàn)在為止還沒有報(bào)告顯示阿波羅號(hào)受到輻射損害，但畢竟它登月的時(shí)間短。人類能否長(zhǎng)時(shí)間接受輻射照射還是個(gè)未知數(shù)。防輻射的藥雖然已經(jīng)研制出來，但只能削減輻射對(duì)人類的損害，還談不上根治。所以說防太空輻射不是容易的事情。
66. D 此文主要是談?shì)椛涞奈：Υ笠约胺垒椛涞囊恍┐胧最準(zhǔn)確。
Part V
67. A
【解析】just在此為副詞，意為“剛剛”，做狀語。此句意為“一個(gè)事件剛剛發(fā)生，街上就有報(bào)紙報(bào)道詳情了。說明報(bào)紙對(duì)新聞的反應(yīng)之快。
68. A
【解析】to give和giving都合乎語法，但giving強(qiáng)調(diào)的是正在發(fā)生的動(dòng)作，而此處重點(diǎn)表達(dá)的是“反應(yīng)快”，不是正在做什么。
69. A
