"I shoot them with my rifle,"Private Jones replied. "But where are you getting all the bullets(子弹)from?"the young officer demanded.

The first level is a simple note,like the sound of a spoken vowel (元音) or consonant (辅音).The second level puts two or more notes together,like combining vowels and consonants to form a word.The third level consists of several notes,like combining a few words to make a phrase. In human speech,inflection,or voice pitch,can change the meaning of the message. In writing,inflection can be shown by changing the punctuation (标点),for example,"No?" and "No!".Gulls use different inflections,too.They also change the order of their notes.Like a human's word order,a gull's note order can change meaning,for example,"You are my mother." and "Are you my mother?".There can be any-where from 2 to 15 notes in a call.Studies show that it is the first quick notes that appear to identify the bird.For example,a chick will rec-ognize and answer only the call of its own parents. 26.The word that means "voice pitch" is ________ .A.communication B.inflection C.language D.vowels27.The second level of vocal communication is like________ .A.putting words together to form a sentence B.putting vowels and consonants together to form a word C.the sound of a single vowel or consonant D.combining a few words to make a phrase28.Studies seem to show that the call of the laughing gull is________ .A.a simple arrangement of bird calls B.a complicated arrangement of notes C.a simple arrangement of words and lettersD.only a call for food29.According to the story,which of the following statements is probably true?

C.All birds answer the same call.D.A chick can only understand its sister's call.30.Which of the following shows a change in inflection? A.I'm tired.I'm not tired. B.You are late!Are you late! C.Are you my mother?Are you my mother?D.Is he tall!Is he tall? B)阅读下列短文,然后回答问题或完成句子。(C) In September 1991,two German moun-taineers were climbing through an isolated pass in the Italian Alps (阿尔卑斯山) when they saw something lying in the ice. They were shocked when they realized that it was the body of a man.The body looked as if it had been there for a long time,and the two Germans guessed that the man had been another mountaineer.Many climbers had been killed in the Alps over the previous 200 years,and sometimes it was years before their bodies were found. When the two men got back to the nearest town they reported what they had seen and the body was recovered by the local govern-ment.When doctors examined it to try to identify(确认) the man,they discovered something amazing.The man was not a modern mountaineer,but a Bronze Age(青铜器时代) traveler who lived more than 5,000 years before.He had died high up in the mountains and the freezing tem-peratures and thick ice had kept his body perfectly for thousands of years. Scientists gave the Bronze Age man the name Otze (after the Otztaler Alps where he was found ) and began to study him in detail. He was 1.57 meters tall and weighed 55 kilograms when he was alive.When the Germans found the body,it was lying down near some rocks with the right arm across the face. Scientists guessed that Otze had died while trying to take shelter (避险) among the rocks.Perhaps he was covering his face with his arm to protect himself from the snow and wind. The ice had not only kept Otze's body,but also the things he had been carrying with him.These gave scientists and historians exciting new information about life thousands of years a-go.Otze's clothes,shoes,and hat were made of animal skins,and his shoes were filled with grass to keep his feet warm. He was wearing a necklace with a single stone bead on it.He was also carrying various tools and weapons,such as a knife,a long bow,and arrows.Scientists were even able to say what Otze had eaten for his last meal by examining the frozen remains in his stomach.31.By whom was the body in the ice found?32.What did they think the dead man had been?33.How long had the body been on the mountainside?34.Why was the body kept so long?35.According to scientists,what was Otze doing at the time of his death?36.Why were Otze's shoes full of grass?37.How did scientists know what Otze had been eating before he died?(D)● Fly for free: just find a SARS cure China Southern Airlines is offering a life-time free ticket to the person credited with finding a cure or vaccine (疫苗) for SARS.The offer applies to whoever is singled out by the World Health Organization and the Chinese government as the key figure in defeating the flu-like illness,an airline spokesman said on Monday.● Xue Cun,a famous singer Xue Cun's famous song-People from northeast are all living Lei Fengs (Dongbeiren Doushi Huo Lei Feng),has just released a new album.This album,including nine of his new songs,also has music videos and flashes.Xue Cun insisted that these music videos are very special. He has a name for them-musical folk story-telling(Yinyue Pingshu).He said his songs are not the same as most pop songs,but are similar to sitcoms (情境喜剧) in the way they present humor and tell stories.● Happy toilet Singapore plans to rate its public toilets using a five-star system similar to that used to grade hotels.It is part of a new project called "Happy Toilet". Toilets will be rated on their cleanliness and design.A three-star rating will mean a toilet is regularly cleaned and equipped with toilet paper and soap.● High heels can be a real killer A New York woman killed her ex-boy- friend, striking him repeatedly with a special "weapon" -her high heeled shoe.That was after she threw her almost 100-kilogram body on top of the victim's chest,during a fight last Saturday night.38.The person will be offered a lifetime free ticket by China Southern Airlines if he/she________ .39.Xue Cun is famous for his song _____.40.When people are listening to Xue Cun's songs,people can enjoy his________ .41.Like hotels,Singapore's public toilets will be divided into________ rates.42.The woman who killed her ex-boyfriend weighed________ .(E) October 30,1938 was an ordinary day in America.People all over the country were sitting in their homes,listening to music on the radio when suddenly a news bulletin (新闻简报) was issued.Scientists had seen some unusual lights on the planet Mars (火星). The music continued but it was stopped a-gain for another surprising report: a large metal object had struck the ground near the village of Grover's Mill,New Jersey. More music and then terrifying news from Grover's Mill.Several horrible creatures had ap-peared out of the metal object.They had killed hundreds of people with a mysterious weapon called a "heat ray".The news reporter himself was killed on the air. Reports continued that the creatures were from the planet Mars.They were part of a Mar-tian army which was invading (入侵) the Earth.It was the beginning of the end for the human race!!! If you are wondering why your grandparents never told you about the time when Martians invaded the Earth,then don't worry.That's be-cause it didn't really happen. The whole thing was the idea of the brilliant young actor and director,Orson Welles.He wrote a radio play based on the book The War of the Worlds,by HG Wells and decided to set it in modern times and make it seem real. After the program,in which thousands of people were killed and many major cities were destroyed,Welles announced that it had been a fictional (虚构的) play written and produced by him. However,the announcement came too late for many listeners.Welles' play had been so re-alistic that many people believed the Martian invasion was really happening.All across Amer-ica people were terrified and in the area around Grover's Mill they completely panicked. Thousands tried to escape in their cars while others called the police in great fear. One old lady was so frightened that she committed suicide (自杀). When they found out they had been fooled,people were very angry.Orson Welles had to apologize in public.He said he had not meant to frighten people,that he was just trying to make his play more interesting.43.The people first learned the news bulletin on ________ .44.________ said that scientists had seen lights on the planet Mars.45.While the play was going on,the people in Grover's Mill________ .46.People were extremely angry when_____.47.What came out of the metal object in Grover's Mill?48.Who wrote The War of the Worlds?49.What was Orson Welles?50.What did Orson Welles say in his apology to the public?III.完形填空(Cloze)(共20小题,计20分) A)阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后选择方框内所给单词或短语的适当形式填空。方框内有多余的词或短语。 it,not until,which,film,put into,because, of,family,take,difficult, although,with,use,easy,that The invention of the camera goes far into the past.In the 1500s,people experimented with cameras that made pictures.But it was (51)________ the early 1800s that they found a way to make the pictures permanent(耐久的).Even then,photography was a new field.

VII.写作(Writing)(共1题,计20分)Dear Sir, I am writing to complain about your new book,The Ultimate Guide Book-Rington,which contains several errors. Firstly,you say that the souvenirs are poorly made.Although I agree this is sometimes true,I cannot understand why you fail to mention the high quality handmade knives for which Rington is famous. In addition,you say there are not enough places to eat.However,Coney Street has many cafes and restaurants,where tourists can have either a snack or a meal. Furthermore,according to your guidebook,the River Bane is polluted,but this is no longer true.It has recently been cleaned and in some parts of the river it is possible to swim.I also disagree with your comment about queuing for the monuments.These only become busy in Au-gust,when the longest that tourists have to wait is 15 minutes. Rington is an attractive and friendly town,which offers tourists everything they need for a pleasant visit.I trust you will make the necessary corrections in the next edition of your guide-book.Yours faithfully,Alice Matheson一、评分原则:1.本题总分为20分,按四个档次给分。2.评分时,先根据文章的内容和语言初步确定其所属档次,然后以该档次的要求来衡量,确定或调整本档次,最后给分。3.词数少于130或多于170的,从总分中减去2分。4.如书写较差,以至影响交流,将分数降低一个档次。二、内容要点:对书中的以下观点加以反驳:1.The souvenirs are poorly made.2.There are not enough places to eat.3.The River Bane is polluted.4.Tourists queue for the monuments.三、各档次的给分范围和要求:第四档(很好):(16-20分)完全完成了试题规定的要求,覆盖所有内容要点,应用了较多的语法结构和词汇,没有语法和词汇错误,具备较强的语言运用能力,完全达到了预期的写作目的。第三档(好):(11-15分)完成了试题规定的要求,应用的语法结构和词汇能满足题目的要求,基本没有语法和词汇错误,达到了预期的写作目的。第二档(一般):(6-10分)未恰当完成试题规定的要求,漏掉内容要点,未描述清楚主要内容,写了一些无关内容,有语法和词汇错误,影响了对写作内容的理解,信息未能清楚地传达给读者。第一档(差):(1-5分)未完成试题规定的要求,明显遗漏主要内容,写了一些无关内容,语法结构单调,词汇项目有限,有较多语法和词汇错误,影响对写作内容的理解,信息未能传达给读者。0分未能传达给读者任何信息:内容太少,无法评判,写的内容均与所要求内容无关或所写内容无法看清。四、说明:1.内容要点可用不同方式表达。2.对紧扣主题的适当发挥不予扣分。3.漏掉每个要点扣1-2分。
