1.—You hate Lee, don't you?
—________I just think he's a bit annoying. That's all. A.Certainly. C.Of course.
B.Not exactly. D.Why not?
答案 B [考查交际英语。由答语“I just think he's a bit annoying. That's all.”可知,选not exactly,意为“不尽然”。再如:“Not exactly, Fred,”replied the imperturbable Richard, continuing to write with a businesslike air.“不完全是那么回事,福来德,”沉住气的理查德边说边一本正经地继续写着。]

答案 D [awful“糟糕的”。由下文的“our room was far too small. Then we found that the shower didn't work.”可以看出,这个宾馆的条件是很差的。common“普通的”;normal“正常的”;convenient“方便的”。]

III.阅读理解
A
They can run all day. They never complain and if they demand a pay rise you can just remove their batteries:many premiership managers must dream of having a robotic (机器人的)football player.
In fact, robotics researchers believe that by 2050 a robotic football team will take to the field that will be able to defeat the current human world champions.
It's an ambitious goal which sounds more like science fiction than reality—but the plan to develop the robotic equivalent of Brazil is already well on its way.
This week, teams of robots from all over the world are taking part in Robocup 2007—the robotic football World Cup.
This year the event is taking place at Georgia Tech University in the US for the biggest ever
demonstration of robotic footballing prowess.
While they might not have the guile or pace of Wayne Rooney just yet, scorelines that stretched into double figures proves that these robo-soccer stars certainly have a grasp of the game's fundamentals.
The groups ranged from the “Humanoid League” right through to robots so small they can only be seen with a microscope in the inaugural “NanoCup”.
For robots to play football, various technologies have been developed including artificial intelligence so the robots know who to pass to and how best to defeat an opponent as well as sophisticated robotics and sensors. After the fun and games of the Robocup is over, the technologies developed for scoring winning goals is then transferred to a number of other more useful applications such as developing robots that can be used in search and rescue in large scale disaster.

B
Instead of hitting the beach, fourteen high school students traded swimming suits for lab coats last summer and turned their attention to scientific experiments.
The High School Research Program offers high school students guidance with researchers in Texas A & M's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Jennifer Funkhouser, academic adviser for the Department of Rangeland Ecology and Management, directs this four-week summer program designed to increase understanding of research and its career potential.
Several considerations go into selecting students, including grades, school involvement and interest in science and agriculture. And many students come from poorer school districts.
Funkhouser says, “This is their chance to learn techniques and do experiments they would never have a chance to do in high school.” Warner Ervin of Houston is interested in animal science and learned how to tell male from female mosquitoes. His adviser, Craig Coates, studies the genes of mosquitoes that allow them to fight against malaria and yellow fever. Coates thought this experience would be fun and helpful to the high school students.
The agricultural research at A&M differs from stereotypes. It's “molecular(分子)science on the cutting edge,” Funkhouser says. The program broadened students' knowledge. Victor Garcia of Rarcia of Rio Grande City hopes to become a biology teacher and says he learned a lot about chemistry from the program.
At the end of the program, the students presented papers on their research. They're also paid $600 for their work—another way this program differs from others, which often charges a fee.
Fourteen students got paid to learn that science is fun, that agriculture is a lot more than milking and plowing and that research can open many doors.
文章大意:为了培养未来的科学爱好者,the High School Research Program启动了。 6.The research program is chiefly designed for________. A.high school advisers from Houston B.college students majoring in agriculture C.high school students from different places
D.researchers at the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences

7.It can be inferred from the text that the students in poorer areas________. A.found the program useful to their future B.could often take part in the program C.had little chance to go to college
D.showed much interest in their high school experiments
答案 A [推理判断题。由第三段最后“...this experience would be fun and helpful to the high school students.”可推知。]
8.When the program was over, the students________.
A.entered that college B.wrote research reports C.paid for their research D.found ways to make money
答案 B [细节理解题。由第五段第一句话可知,学生们要写调查报告。] 9.What would be the best title for the passage? A.A Program for Agricultural Science Students B.A Program for Animal Science Students C.A Program for Medical Science Lovers D.A Program for Future Science Lovers
答案 D [主旨大意题。由文章大意可知。D项具体简洁。] IV.短文改错

stream(溪)near our house became big river. It burst
through the bank. The fields all around was soon full of water. Luckily, the water didn't reach any of the
house in our village. But the bursting water from the river carried away our wooden bridge, that was over three hundred of years old. We were very sorry to lose the oldest thing we have had for such a
long time. We will build a new bridge, so it will not be as familiar than the one we had before!
