G8 Summit
Leaders of the Group of Eight
Major Industrialized Nations (G8) will meet in Scotland in
July this year. Representatives from China, India, Mexico,
South Africa and Brazil have also been invited. Here's what
the G8 leaders want from the meeting.
British Prime Minister Tony
Blair wants the G8 to cancel debt to the world's poorest
countries. He wants them to double aid to Africa to 50 billion
pounds by 2010. He has also proposed reducing subsidies
to Western farmers and removing restrictions on African
exports. This has not got the approval of all members because
it will hurt their agricultural interests. On climate change,
Blair wants concerted (共同的) action by reducing carbon emissions
(排放).
US President George W. Bush
agrees to give help to Africa. But he says he doesn't like
the idea of increasing aid to countries as 'it will increase
corruption. Bush said he would not sign an agreement to
cut greenhouse gas emissions at the summit, according to
media. The US is the only G8 member not to have signed the
Kyoto Protocol (京都议定书). Although the US is the world's biggest
polluter, Bush so far refuses to believe there is sufficient
scientific data to establish beyond a doubt that there is
a problem.
French President Jacques Chirac
supports Blair on Africa and climate change. He is determined
to get the US to sign the climate change deal.
German Chancellor Gerhard Schroder
remains doubtful of Blair's Africa proposals. Schroder's
officials have dismissed the notion that money will solve
Africa's problems as "old thinking." Berlin says that African
states should only receive extra money if they can prove
they've solved the corruption problem.
Russian President Vladimir Putin
was doubtful about the value of more aid to Africa. But
he has seen a way to make this work to his advantage. Putin
intends to use the aid to Africa as a springboard (跳板) next
year to propose aid to the former Soviet republics of Georgia,
Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Moldova.
Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro
Koizumi's priorities are a seat on the UN Security Council,
for which he will be lobbying (游说) at the summit. And he's
concerned about the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's
nuclear weapons programme.
16 The G8 countries include China, India, Mexico, South
Africa and Brazil,

Nice Name But She's So Deadly
1 More than a million people in the United States
were told to leave their homes over the weekend as Hurricane
(飓风) Dennis headed to the Gulf coast, after killing at least
15 people in the Caribbean Sea.
2 If you read the news often enough=, you may
notice that all hurricanes are given names. Why is that?
Remember, there can be more than one hurricane operating
at one time. Without naming them, we could get confused
about which storm we're talking about.
3 For hundreds of years, hurricanes in the Caribbean
were named after the particular religious day on which they
occurred. One Australian meteorologist (气象学家) began giving
women's names to tropical storms at the end of the 19th
century. In 1953, the US National Weather Service, which
is responsible for tracking hurricanes and issuing warnings,
began using female names for storms. By i979, both women
and men's names were being used. One name for each letter
of the alphabet (字母表) is selected, except for Q, U and Z.
4 So who decides which names are used' each year?
The World Meteorological Organization uses six lists in
rotation, so each list is reused every six years.
5 Here's a list of the 2005 Atlantic hurricanes,
according to the US National Hurricane Centre: Arlene, Bret,
Cindy, Dennis, Emily, Franklin, Gert, Harvey, Irene, Jose,
Katrina, Lee, Maria, Nate, Ophelia, Philippe, Rita, Stan,
Tammy, Vince, Wilma.
23 Paragraph 1
24 Paragraph 2
25 Paragraph 3
26 Paragraph 4
A Reason for naming hurricanes

第4部分：阅读理解（第31～45题，每题3分，共45分）
下面有3篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题定1个最佳选项。
第一篇
A Society Without a Formal Authority
In the seventeenth century,
European soldiers who came across some Indian groups in
the western Great Lakes found that several native tribes
(部落) were living in the area without a formal leadership
system. They appeared to be "quite friendly with each other
without a formal authority!"
Not only did the Indians appear
to lack a formal system of authority, but they also deeply
hated any efforts to control their actions. All members
of the tribes knew what was required of them by lifelong
(一生的) familiarity with the tasks of the area. These tasks
tended to be simple, since the Indians' rate of social change
was slow. Thus, although subgroups such as soldiers had
recognized leaders, no real authority was required. Rather
than giving direct orders (which were considered rough),
members of the tribes would arouse others to action by examples.
It would be difficult, if not
impossible, to carry out such a system in our own society.
Most of us have grown up under one authority or another
for as long as we can remember. Our parents, our teachers,
our bosses, our government all have the recognized right
under certain conditions to tell us what to do. The authority
is so much a part of our culture that it is hard for us
to imagine a workable society without it. We have been used
to relying on authority to get things done and would probably
be uncomfortable with the Indian methods of examples on
a large scale.
Of course, the major reason
why the Indian system would not be suitable for us is that
our society is too large. The number of tasks that various
members of our society have to perform often under tight
time and resource limitations could not be treated by the
Indian system, in modern societies, the formal authority
system is necessary to achieve any social objectives.
31 Which of the following statements about the European
soldiers is correct?
A They had no leaders.
B They treated the Indian groups
well.
C They came across some Indian
groups.
D They found the Indian groups friendly to them.
32 Members of the tribes got others to do things
A with resolution.
B by examples.
C by force.
D with effort.
33 According to the author, it is hard for a society
to work without
A a recognized authority.
B enough money.
C examples.
D changes.
34 After reading the passage, you may conclude that
A the Indian system is also
suitable for some small towns.
B the Indians tended to follow
orders.
C our system is much better
than the Indians'.
D the Indian system would be
very difficult to implement in our society
35 It can be inferred from the passage that many tasks
in our society have to be carried out
A under severe weather conditions
B without any effort.
C without any delay.
D with ease.
第二篇
Schooling and Education
It is commonly believed in the
United States that school is where people go to get an education.
Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt
their education to go to school. The distinction between
schooling and education implied by this remark is important.
Education is much more open-ended
and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no limits.
It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or in
the job, whether in a kitchen or in a theatre. It includes
both the formal learning that takes place in schools and
the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education
can range from a respected grandparent to the people debating
politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist.
Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education
quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with
a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known
of other religions. People are engaged in education from
infancy (婴儿期) on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive
term. It is a lifelong (一生的) process, a process that starts
long before the start of school, and one that should be
an integral (基本的) part of one's entire life.
Schooling, on the other hand,
is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern
varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a
country, children arrive at school at approximately the
same time, take assigned (指定的) seats, are taught by an adult,
use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on.
The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they
are words or an understanding of the working of government,
have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject
being taught. For example, high school students know that
they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth
about political problems in their communities or what the
newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite
conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
36 Which of the following is true according to the author?
A School is the place where
people get informal education.
B Education means schooling.
C Education can be both formal
and informal.
D Going to school is the only way to receive education.
37 Education is different from schooling in that
A the former is predictable
while the latter is not.
B the former is specific while
the latter is not.
C the former is a formalized
process while the latter is not.
D the former is more open-ended and all-inclusive than
the latter.
38 When does education begin?
A Before one enters school.
B After one enters school.
C After one graduates from college.
D After one retires from work.
39 The fact that children arrive at school at about the
same time shows that
A schooling imposes a lot of
strain on the students.
B schooling has a clear boundary.
C schooling follows more or
less the same pattern.
D schooling includes different aspects of learning.
40 What is the author's attitude toward schooling?
A Positive.
B Negative.
C Neutral (中立的).
D Supportive.
第三篇 Too Late to Regret It
When I was a junior, I met a
second-year student in my department. He wasn't tall or
good-looking, but he was very nice, attractive and athletic.
He had something that I admired very much. He was natural,
warm, and sincere.
I disregarded (不顾) my parents'
disapproval. We were very happy together. He picked me up
from my dorm every morning, and after class we would sit
alongside the stream that ran through campus, or sunbathe
(晒太阳) on the lawn. At night he would walk me back to my
dorm. He came from a poor family, but in order to make me
happy, he borrowed money from his friend to buy presents
and meals for me. Our fellow students looked up to him as
a role model, and the girls envied (妒忌) me. He wasn't a
local, but wanted to stay here after graduation. I thought
we had a future together.
However, when I got a part-time
job during the summer vacation, people began giving me a
lot of pressure, saying that a pretty, intelligent girl
like me should find a better guy to spend time with. This
was also what my family thought. He spent the summer in
his hometown, so I was all by myself. When he got back,
I began finding fault with him. But his big heart and warmth
soon drove all unpleasant thoughts away. However, I had
no idea how badly I had hurt him and that things would get
worse.
I had a good part-time job off
campus that paid pretty well. With my good performance at
school, I also got admission to graduate school at one of
China's best universities. He, on the other hand, did not
do so well at school or at work. I had to worry about his
living expenses, job and scores.
Almost all my colleagues and
friends advised me to break up with him. Then we had a quarrel
last June. He was in great pain, and my cold words and bad
moods started turning him away.
Graduation time was drawing near, and hometown. He said
that he couldn't put up with at him in despair. He said
he wanted to go back to his me anymore. I was shocked and
looked.
True love happens only once, but I found it out too late.
41 When did the author fall in love with the boy?
A After she had a quarrel with
him.
B When she was a junior.
C When she was a second-year
student.
D After she found a part-time job.
42 What did he do to make her happy?
A He studied much harder.
B He often took her for a ride.
C He always endured her insults.
D He often bought her presents and meals.
43 Who advised her to break up with him?
A His parents.
B Her teachers.
C Her colleagues and friends.
D Their fellow students.
44 Why did he leave her?
A Because he could no longer
bear her.
B Because he hated her.
C Because his parents needed
taking care of.
D Because he wasn't a local."
45 Upon learning that he would leave her, she was
A very happy.
B extremely joyful.
C quite relieved.
D in great pain.

Mind Those Manners on the Subway
So, there you are, just sitting there in the subway car,
enjoying that book you just bought (46) Or,
the person sitting next to you takes out a nail clipper
(指甲刀) and begins cutting his or her nails.
Annoying? Many of us have to spend some time every day
on public transportation (47) So, to make the
trip more pleasant, we suggest the following:
Let passengers get off the bus or subway car before you
can get on (48)
Stand away from the doors when they are closing
Don't talk loudly on a bus or subway. Chatting loudly
with your friends can be annoying to others. (49)
Don't think your bags and suitcases (手提箱) deserve a seat
of their own.
Use a tissue whenever you cough or sneeze (打喷嚏). An uncovered
sneeze can spread germs (细菌), especially in crowded places.
Don't cut your nails or pick your nose on public transportation.
Don't read over other people's shoulder (50)
It can make people uncomfortable. They might think you're
too stingy (小气的) even to buy a newspaper. Or they might
think you're judging their behavior
A Don't eat food in your car.
B Don't shout into your mobile phone on a bus or subway.
C We all know that some behaviors are simply unacceptable.
D Many people do this on subways, but it's really annoying
E Getting off and on in an orderly manner can save time
for all.
F Suddenly, you feel someone leaning over your shoulder
reading along with you

A Country's Standard of Living
The "standard of living" of
any country means the average person's share of the goods
and services the country produces. A country's standard
of living, (51), depends on its capacity to
produce wealth. "Wealth" (52) this sense is not
money, for we do riot live on money (53) on
things that money can buy: "goods" such as food and clothing,
and "services" such as transport and entertainment.
A country's capacity to produce
wealth depends upon many factors, most of (54)
have an effect on one another. Wealth depends (55)
a great extent upon a country's natural resources. Some
regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals,
and have fertile (肥沃的) soil and a favorable climate; other
regions possess none of them.
Next to natural resources (56) the ability
to turn them to use. China is perhaps as well-off (57)
the USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years
from civil and external wars, and (58) this and
other reasons was (59) to develop her resources.
Sound and stable political conditions, and (60)
from foreign invasions, enable a country to develop its
natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce
more wealth than another country equally well favoured by
nature but less well ordered.
A country's standard of living
does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and
consumed (61) its own borders, but also upon
what is directly produced through international trade. (62),
Britain's wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural products
would be much less if she had to depend only on (63)
grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplus (过剩的)
manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural
products that would (64) be lacking. A country's
wealth is, therefore, much (65) by its manufacturing
capacity provided (如果) that other countries can be found
ready to accept its manufactures.
