Every Englishman has some knowledge, 50. slight, of the works of our greatest writer.

Shakespeare, more perhaps than any 53. writers, made full use of the great resource of the English language. There is probably no better way for a foreigner(or an Englishman) to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language54. by studying the various ways in 55. Shakespeare used it.
Part III Reading comprehension (30 marks)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.
A
Several animal species including gorillas in
Launched on the sidelines of global climate negotiations in Durban, the report by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation shows how higher temperatures, the rise in sea levels, deforestation and excessive land use have damaged the habitats of certain species, especially in Africa.
"Many ecosystems have already been stressed by increasing population, historical and recent deforestation, unsustainable management practices and even invasive species," Eduardo Rojas-Briales, assistant director general at the FAO's forestry department, said at the launch of the report.
The most affected areas include mountains, isolated islands and coastal areas, which limit the possibilities for animals to migrate elsewhere and create new habitats.
"The remaining populations become enclosed in very small ecosystems, they have inbreeding （近亲交配）problems ... and at the end these species may disappear," he added.
Other examples of affected animals included elephants in
The report said an estimated 20-30 percent of plant and animal species will be at higher risk of extinction due to global warming and a significant proportion of endemic species may become extinct by 2050 as a consequence.
Other consequences could include the spread of invasive species and infectious diseases, it said.
The report urges more focus on restoration of damaged ecosystems, especially those key to tackling （应对）climate change such as mangroves（红树林）, inland waters, forests, savannahs（非洲大草原） and grasslands.
The FAO also called for the creation of migration corridors for animals in areas where their movement was constrained.
The organisation said while more resources were flowing to biodiversity conservation, more action at the government and policy level was needed.
It also urged local communities to develop projects that mitigate the impact of climate change on wildlife, naming eco-tourism activities as an example.
56．Why are mountains, isolated islands and coastal areas becoming the most affected areas, according to the passage?
A．Because animals there are more likely to migrate to other places and create new habitats.
B．Because of higher temperatures and the rise in sea levels there.
C．Because it is less possible for animals to move to other places and create new habitats.
D．Because of the spread of invasive species and infectious diseases.
57．What does the underlined word “mitigate” mean?
A．Making something become less serious.

C．All the plants and animal species will be at higher risk of distinction due to global warming by 2050.
D．For animals living in areas where their movements was limited, we should create more corridors for them.
59．What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A．There are no resources available to conserve the biodiversity.
B．It is the local communities rather than the government that should take measures to protect the species from extinction.
C．It is better for the local communities to restrict eco-tourism activities.
D．The government should take some measures and some policies should be made to protect the biodiversity though more sources were being used for it.

A funny thing happened on the way to the communications revolution: we stopped talking to one another.
I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation. There we were, walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and... I became invisible, absent from the conversation.
The telephone used to connect you to the absent. Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent. Why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction. With e-mail and instant messaging over the Internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. If my morn has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine.
As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated, the alienation（疏远） index goes up, You can' t even call a person to get the phone number of another person anymore. Directory assistance is almost always fully automated.
I am not against modern technology. I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voice-mail system, and an e-mail account. Giving them up isn't wise.., they're a great help to us. It’s some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy.
More and more, I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for conversation, or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I did' t really have time to talk. The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lone-lire.., or at least facilitating my antisocial instincts.
So I' ve put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging with people who live near me, no cell-phoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when I’m at home.
66．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?
A．The Advance of Communications Technology
B．The Consequences of Modern Technology
C．The Story of the Communications Revolution
D．The Automation of Modern Communications
67．The sentence "Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent" means that .
A．the people sitting beside you have to go away to receive phone call
B．you can hardly get in touch with the people sitting beside you
C．modern technology makes it hard for people to have face-to-face talk
D．people can now go to work without going to the office
68．The writer feels that the use of modern communications is .
A．satisfying B．encouraging
C．disappointing D．embarrassing
69．The passage implies that .
A．modern technology is bridging people
B．modern technology is separating people
C．modern technology is developing too fast
D．modern technology is interrupting our communication
70．What does the underlined word “facilitating” mean?
A．加深 B．限制 C．帮助 D．装备
Part IV Writing (45 marks)
Section A (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
In addition to self-awareness, imagination, and conscience, it is the fourth quality — independent will — that really makes effective self-management possible. It is the ability to make decisions and choices and to act in agreement with them. It is the ability to act rather than to be acted upon, to actively carry out the program we have developed through the other three qualities.
The human will is an amazing thing. Time after time, it has overcome unbelievable difficulties. The Helen Kellers of this world give dramatic evidence to the value, the power of the independent will.
But as we examine this quality in the context of effective self-management, we realize it’s usually not the dramatic, the visible, the once-in-a-lifetime, up-by-the-bootstraps effort that brings lasting success. This special ability comes from learning how to use this great quality in the decisions we make every day.
The degree to which we have developed our independent will in our everyday lives is measured by our personal honesty. Honesty is, fundamentally, the value we place on ourselves. It’s our ability to make and keep promises to ourselves, to “walk our talk.”
Effective management is putting first things first. While leadership decides what “first things” are, it is management that puts them first, day-by-day, moment-by-moment. Management is discipline (training to be self-controlled), carrying it out.
Discipline obtains from belief—belief in a set of values, belief in an overriding purpose, to a long-term or short term goal that must be carried out.
In other words, if you are an effective manager of yourself, your discipline comes from within; it is a function of your independent will. You are a follower of your own deep values and their source. And you have the will, the quality to control your feelings and moods rather than depend on others or have your work half done. Section B (10 marks) Directions: Read the followings passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage. Magnetic north (磁极), which is the place where compass needles actually point, is near but not exactly in the same place as the geographic North Pole. Right now. The north magnetic pole is no longer a resident of Canada. It has drifted across the Canadian Arctic and is now angling toward Siberia. Not to be confused with the geographic North Pole – the northern extremity of the Earth’s axis (地轴), the north magnetic pole(where the Earth’s magnetic field is directed downward) is moving due to natural changes in the Earth’s magnetic field, a process that originates about 3,000 kilometers below our feet, in the outer core of the planet. The core is too deep for scientists to directly detect its magnetic field. But researchers can infer the field’s movements by tracking how Earth’s magnetic feed has been changing at the surface and in space. Scientists are now noticing that the magnetic pole has picked up its pace. Over the past century, the pole has been migrating at an average speed of about 10 kilometers per year, says Larry Newitt, head of Geomagnetic Laboratory at Natural Resources Canada in Ottawa. Since the 1970s, this speed has increased to about 50 kilometers per year. Scientists are wondering why the speed is increasing, says Newitt. One Hypothesis relates it to “magnetic jerks”, sudden shifts (变化) in the rate of change of the magnetic field. There have been three jerks in the past four decades, each one correlating to an increase in speed. If the north magnetic pole continues at its current rate, it could reach Siberia by 2056. “For most of recorded history, the pole has been a part of Canada, and now it’s not,” says Newitt. “It may be a blow to our collective psyche, but other than that, it doesn’t have a major effect on most people’s existence. 81.What does the underlined word “angling” in the first paragraph mean? (No more than 3 words) 82.How far away has the north magnetic pole migrated in the last decade? (No more than 6 words) 83.Why is the north magnetic pole moving?
