Chen Huilin is one of those singers whose music has changed a lot over the last few years. When she first made a splash on（在……引起反響） the Chinese pop scene,it was with touching love songs like “Notebook” and “Care Too Much for You”.Now this 28-year-old Hong Kong singer is about to become a dancing queen with her new Mandarin album（國語專輯）,“Love’s Coming”. Chen’s new album is filled with songs that you can dance to.With the help of famous Hong Kong musicians,this album intends to make fans get into the beat.The title track（主打歌曲）,“Love’s Coming”,is an old-style disco song that sounds like one from an album of Madonnas. To change fan’s opinion that she “l(fā)ooks as cold as ice”,Chen has also come up with a redhot summer look.“Some may think that I’m a cold fish,”she said.“But all of my friends know that I’m an outgoing（開朗的） person who likes to play jokes.So I hope that my new look will change that idea a bit.” Chen was awarded the title of Most Popular Female Singer of Asia Pacific at the Jade Solid Gold Best 10 Awards（十大勁歌金曲頒獎典禮）earlier this year. Welcomed in China , Japan , Malaysia and Singapore,Chen is already an international success. Seven years ago,this student of Parsons School of Design in New York didn’t expect to be so successful in music.She kept telling herself,“If I do not succeed,I will go back to design.” But now,her goals for music career（事業(yè)） have become very ambitious（有挑戰(zhàn)性的）.She hopes that she can be like Alan Tam（譚詠麟），one of the best singers in Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s. “No matter how much time has passed,his songs are still remembered.I hope this will happen to me too,”said Chen. But her first goal is to learn to dance well.Chen’s new dance steps can be seen at her concerts from July 12 to 17,2002 in Hong Kong. 5.What kind of song did Chen sing before? A.Love songs like “Notebook” and “Care Too Much for You”. B.The songs with strong and fast rhythm. C.Slow love songs. D.Fast love songs. 答案：C 6.What do you know about Chen Huilin? A.She is to become a dancer instead of a singer. B.She is to hold concerts in the middle of July in Hong Kong. C.She used to be a student in New York. D.Both B and C. 答案：D 7.Which of the following is true? A.Chen’s new album is full of songs that you have heard before. B.In order to change people’s opinion,Chen has come up with a new look. C.Seven years ago,Chen planned to become a famous singer. D.Chen’s songs have not much difference from those before. 答案：B 8.We can infer from the article that_____. A.Alan Tam’s songs are not as popular now as before B.Chen is popular in Malaysia and Singapore as well as in China and Japan C.Madonna sings old-style disco songs D.Chen prefers singing to designing 答案：D C New ways of building are being tried out everywhere.There are many new shows to watch! In England,I saw a 17-story building made right on the ground.First,the workers dug a deep hole.They build the basement.This work was the same as on any building.From then on,the work was not the same. On the ground,the men set 40 big jacks（千斤頂）.You know what a car jack does.It lifts a car.These big jacks were to lift each floor of the building.On top of the 40 jacks,the men first built a roof.Yes,the roof of the building! What next?The jacks lifted the floor one story high.Then the builders worked on this floor.It was not the bottom floor of the building.Not at all!It was the top floor.It was on the ground then.But it was going to be floor 17.The jacks lifted floor 17.Under it,the workers built floor 16.They built it right on the ground,too. When floor 16 was done,the jacks lifted it.Under floor 16,the men built floor 15.And so it went.The bottom floor of the building was made last. The work went quickly.Under the roof,the men worked even in rain or snow.They didn’t need to climb to high places.And trucks brought things right to them. It took only one man to work the jacks.He just pushed a button.Right away,the jacks began to lift. In the United States,also,some builders use big jacks.But the jacks are above the floors,not under them.The floors are made of concrete（混凝土）.They are made on the ground,one on top of another.Strong posts run through them. At first,the floors look like a big pile of pancakes,as the picture shows.Then jacks at the top of the posts lift each floor into place.The top floor makes the roof. In Texas,I saw a roof made in a new way.A helicopter flew over the building,again and again.Each time,it stopped to put a piece of the roof into place.The helicopter was like a bird building a nest. What a funny way to make a roof!But the helicopter built in one morning.To make a roof like this,builders take weeks. 9.What might people feel is the most special and interesting thing in the new ways of building? A.The floor are made of concrete. B.The roof is built first and on the ground. C.Jacks are used for building. D.The building is completed in a short time. 答案：B 10.Which picture shows what the floors described in the 8th and 9th paragraphs look like at first? 答案：A 11.What can we infer about the new way of building the writer saw in England? A.The workers never needed to get to high places during the whole course of the building. B.The jacks were controlled by machines. C.The ground floor was made first. D.Each floor was really one big piece. 答案：B 12.What is the purpose of the writer in writing this passage? A.To suggest a new way of building. B.To show the advantages of modern machines. C.Just to introduce some new ways of building. D.To show the power of imagination. 答案：C D The case for college has been accepted without question for more than a generation.All high school graduates ought to go,because college will help them earn more money,become “better” people,and learn to be more responsible citizens than those who don’t go. But college has never been able to work its magic for everyone.And now that close to half our high school graduates are attending,those who don’t fit the pattern are becoming more and more,and more obvious.College graduates are selling shoes and driving taxis;college students get in the way of each other’s experiments and write false letters of recommendation（推薦） in the competition for admission to graduate school.Others find no interest in their studies,and drop out—often encouraged by college administrators（教導(dǎo)主任）. Some observers say the fault is with the young people themselves—they are spoiled and they are expecting too much.But that is a condemnation（譴責(zé)） of the students as a whole,and does not explain all campus unhappiness.Others blame the state of the world,and they are partly right.We’ve been told that young people have to go to college because our economy cannot take in an army of untrained eighteen-year-olds.But disappointed graduates are learning that it can no longer take in an army of trained twenty-two-year-olds,either. Some adventuresome educators and campus watchers have openly begun to suggest that college may not be the best,the proper,the only place for every young person after the completion of high school.We may have been looking at all those surveys（調(diào)查） upside down,it seems,and thinking of the rosy glow of our own remembered college experiences. Perhaps college does not make people intelligent（clever）,ambitious,happy,liberal,or quick to learn things—maybe it is just the other way round,and intelligent,ambitious,happy,liberal,quick-learning people are only the ones who have been attracted to college in the first place.And perhaps all those successful college graduates would have been successful whether they had gone to college or not.This is heresy（異端邪說） to those of us who have been brought up to believe that if a little schooling is good,more has to be much better.But opposite evidence is beginning to mount up. 13.According to the passage all the following statements are true EXCEPT that_____. A.about half of the high school graduates continue their studies in colleges B.college graduates are believed to be able to earn more money C.administrators often encourage college students to drop out D.more and more young people are found unfit for college 答案：C 14.Which of the following is one of some observers’s opinions? A.The students expect so much that they are not satisfied with the hard college life. B.The economic situation is so discouraging that the youth have to attend college. C.Colleges should improve because of so much campus unhappiness. D.Colleges provide more chances of good jobs than anywhere else. 答案：B 15.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean? A.Our college experiences prove that those surveys are incorrect. B.The surveys may remind us of our beautiful college experiences. C.The surveys should all be reexamined according to our college experiences. D.Our college experiences may make us misunderstand the results of the surveys. 答案：D 16.What is the main purpose of this passage? A.To value young people’s further education in colleges. B.To put forward an idea that college should not be the first choice. C.To argue against the idea that college is the best place for all young people. D.To persuade young people into working after the completion of high school. 答案：C E Mark felt that it was time for him to take part in his community,so he went to the neighborhood meeting after work.The area’s city councilwoman was leading a discussion about how the quality of life was decreasing.The neighborhood faced many problems. Mark looked at the charts taped to the walls.There are charts for parking problems,crime,and for problems in vacant buildings.People were supposed to suggest solutions to the councilwoman. It was too much for Mark.“The problems are too big,”he thought.He turned to the man next to him and said,“I think this is a waste of my time.Nothing I could do would make a difference here.” Mark thought some more on his way to the bus stop.“People should just take care of themselves,”he decided.“That’s enough to do.I can’t take on all the problems of the world.” As he neared the bus stop,Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag and baby.She was trying to unlock her car,but she didn’t have a free hand.As Mark got closer,her other child,a little boy,suddenly darted into the street.The woman tried to reach for him,but as she moved,her bag shifted and groceries started to fall out.Mark ran to take the boy’s arm and led him back to his mother.Then he picked up the groceries while the woman smiled in relief.“Thanks!”she said.“You’ve got great timing!” “Just being neighborly,”Mark said.As he rode home,he glanced at the walls of the bus.On one of them was “Small acts of kindness add up.”Mark smiled and thought,“Maybe that’s a good place to start.” 17.In Mark’s opinion,_____. A.nobody was so able as to solve the problems B.he was not in the position to solve much problems C.many people were too selfish to think about others D.he already had more than enough work to do 答案：B 18.The word “darted” in Paragraph 5 can be best replaced by_____. A.walked B.marched C.wandered D.rushed 答案：D 19.What is the implication of the words on the bus wall? A.You should be kind to your neighbors and they will treat you the same way. B.Everyone can play his own part to make things better. C.All small acts will add up to kindness. D.It’s a small act to help a person in need. 答案：B 20.The passage is mainly about_____. A.how individuals can help make a difference B.running a neighborhood meeting to solve its problems C.citizens’s reactions to the problems they face D.solving problems through group action 答案：A Ⅴ.書面表達(dá) 下面是一份餐廳的菜單。用英語寫一篇100~120詞的短文。 假設(shè)你現(xiàn)在正在這家餐廳和一個剛從中國來的朋友吃飯，請向他解釋西餐和中餐的不同及應(yīng)如何點菜，并介紹一下這家餐廳的菜肴，推薦幾個你認(rèn)為還不錯的菜。 　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　 West food is quite different from Chinese food.It includes appetizers,which are mainly some soup or snacks;main courses including meat and fish usually;then side orders with vegetables and rice.All of these are its main food.They are brought in this order also.After this,people usually will order a dessert.Something sweet after a meal is their habitual diet.Of course,you can order some drinks,like tea,coffee,even some beer or wine along.Don’t feel surprised that soup will be served first.It’s their order.The onion soup here is special and steak and green beans are very good.In dessert,strawberries are really worth recommending. 111
