Passage One
Coffee is one of the most popular drinks throughout the world today. Coffee contains a kind of drug called caffeine (咖啡因). Caffeine can stimulate (刺激) the nerves of the body. Drinking coffee tends to make people a little bit more awake. One story of the discovery of the coffee plant in East Africa records this effect of caffeine. The story says that coffee was first found by a goat farmer named Kaldi about the year 850.
Kaldi was leading his animals through the mountains and the goats were stopping repeatedly to eat the plants near the path. Suddenly, some of the goats started jumping up and down in a very strange way.
Kaldi figured out that the goats were acting this way because of the plants they were eating. Kaldi himself tried eating some of the green beans that the goats had been eating. He, too, felt the same effect of the beans.
Kaldi wanted to prove what had happened, so he picked some of the beans and took them back to his home village. The green bean got the name“Kaffa”and later“coffee” because the beans were discovered in a place called Kaffa in Africa.
Then for years, people used to eat a few of the green Kaffa beans when they were in the mountains and needed extra energy. It was later found that the coffee beans could be picked and then dried until they turned brown, and then they could be stored. Then they could be used at any time.

Passage Three
When Beethoven(贝多芬) was 28, he began to notice a strange noise in his ears. As it grew worse, he went to see doctors, and was told that he was going deaf. This was too much for any composer(作曲家) to bear. Beethoven became hopeless; he was sure that he was going to die. He went to the countryside where he wrote a long good-bye letter
to his brothers, describing how sad and lonely his deafness made him. He longed to die, and said to death, “Come when you will; I shall meet you bravely.”

Instead of the past artistic music for the rich listeners, Beethoven wrote stormy, exciting music which reminds us of his troubled and courageous life. In time he went completely deaf, but he wrote more creatively than ever, for he could “hear” his music in his mind. .His Heroic Symphony(交响乐) and Fifth Symphony both show his courage in struggling with his fate.
In time he went completely deaf, but he wrote more creatively than ever, for he could “hear” his music in his mind.

Part III: Reading Comprehension (40%)
Directions: There are four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each question, there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Who says people need land to grow vegetables? All you need is a roof that is strong enough, and flat enough, to support a garden. Here is one way to build a rooftop garden without soil. Four things are needed to follow this design: a roof, grass cuttings, a sheet of plastic and a box about 8 cm deep and made out of four pieces of wood. Once you are sure the roof is good, cut and collect some grass. Place the box on the top of the sheet of plastic. Then fill it with the cut grass. Next, add water and walk on the cuttings to press them down. After about three weeks, the rooftop garden is ready for growing beans, peas, tomatoes, etc. Put the seeds directly into the wet grass cuttings. Water every day to keep the grass wet until the plants begin to grow and keep growing. The plants will also need some liquid fertilizer which you can make yourself: collect chicken waste in a cloth bag and put the bag in a container of water. After about one week, the water becomes a good liquid fertilizer. Rooftop gardens are increasingly popular, and not just to grow vegetables. They keep buildings cooler in the sun, so they save energy. They also reduce the runoff of storm water and help clean the air. Plus they add nice places for birds and insects in the city.
54. Why are rooftop gardens increasingly popular?
A) They can stop hunger. B) They can help clean the air.
C) They can discourage birds. D) They can create nets.
55. What makes a good fertilizer?

57. How long it will take to get ready for planting your garden?
A) Three days. B) Three weeks. C) Three hours. D) One month. 58. Which of the four supplies is needed to follow the design of a rooftop garden?
A) Plastic. B) Vegetable. C) Water. D) Dirt.
Passage Two
The number of people in Yanhai City who prefer traveling abroad has grown in the past 10 years. In 1996 it was only 10,000 or so and in 2001 it grew to about 40,000. But it rose sharply to almost 130,000 in 2006. I think one of the reasons for the increase is the rapidly developing economy. Since people make more money now, they can afford such a luxury, and want to relax and live a better life. And with the opening up of China, they are becoming more eager to learn about the outside world. Traveling abroad gives them a chance to see the world and thus broaden their horizons. They treasure （珍视） most about travel for it allows them to see novel things and to look with new eyes on familiar things. They usually return changed, different, but wiser. What effects can this bring about? People learn a lot from traveling abroad and when they come back they can give suggestions for their city’s construction and on how to make it more beautiful. People going abroad can also tell foreigners more about their own city and help attract foreign investment. However, everything has two sides-- if more people travel abroad, it will also harm the local travel industry. For the increasing numbers of people going abroad will lead to a relatively smaller number of people traveling at home. To deal with this, the government should make an effort to develop domestic （国内的） tourism and attract people at home and abroad. So, we should definitely make the best of traveling abroad while trying to minimize the bad effects.
59.The number of people traveling abroad in 2006 is ______ that of 1996 .
A) 40 times B) 4 times C) 3 times D) 13 times
60. Which of the following is not the reason for more and more people traveling abroad?
A) They have benefited from the rapidly developing economy.
B) The opening up policy allows them to see the outside world.
C) They want to return home totally changed.
D) They want to enjoy a more relaxed life after hard work.
61.In the phrase “trying to minimize the bad effects”, “minimize” most probably means _______.
A) to reduce to the reasonable amount B) to produce certain amount
C) to produce small amount D) to reduce to the smallest possible
amount
62.In what way, will more people traveling abroad do harm to our local economy?
A) More people spend more money abroad while less at home.
B) No people will make contribution to the local tourism.
C) No people will make contribution to the outside world.
D) More people spend more time abroad while less at work.
63.According to the author, when people travel abroad, they usually _______.
A) fail to see familiar things in different countries.
B) bring along a novel to read during the journey
C) see new things and extend their vision
D) learn to speak some foreign languages
Passage Three
THIRTY-five years ago, it was an honor for an 18-year-old to go to Harvard University. But one young man soon found that his heart wasn’t in studying law. He would spe nd many nights in front of the school’s computer and the next day sleep in class. Two years later, Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard. He went on to start the Microsoft company with a childhood friend Paul Allen. Now Microsoft is the world’s biggest softwar e company. About 90 percent of computers run on Microsoft Windows. Gates topped the list of the richest men on the planet for 13 years until 2007. But last week the billionaire made the decision to give all his money to charity(慈善事业), instead of to his children. All of his $58 billion fortune will go to The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Gates and his wife set up the foundation to help with health and education projects around the world. After stepping down from Microsoft in July, Gates will devote himself to running the charity programs. “I’ve been given the gift of great wealth. But I believe with great wealth comes great responsibility--the responsibility to give back to society,” said Gates. The Gates couple’s foundation is the world’s biggest charit y foundation. Their spending on fighting AIDS in Africa is more than most developed countries have spent.

Passage Four
Every one is provided by nature with a set of finger-prints entirely different from those of everybody else. It is now accepted as a scientific fact that no two people have the same finger-prints. The ten finger-prints of one person always differ from the complete set of another. But that is not all. The print of each separate finger of a person differs from his prints of all other fingers and from the prints of other fingers in the world. Someone has calculated the chance that a print made by one person will be the same as a print made by another and the calculation shows that the chance is so small that for all practical purposes, it doesn’t exist. The police, therefore, always record finger-prints, if possible; they are an unfailing clue to identity when once they have been obtained. Finger-print identification as it is known and practiced today is of comparatively （相当地） recent origin. It first came to the notice of modern police forces in India. Finger-prints were found so valuable there that they were later adopted by the police of other countries. They accepted as legal evidence in a court of law; if a man’s prints are found on the scene of the crime, it is taken for gr anted that he was there, though when and why he was there are other question.
69.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
A) Finger-prints mean all in a court of law.

71.Finger-prints were first noticed by ___________.
A) Indian police forces B) Indian medial fields
C) Indian government D) Indian lawyers
72.The police record finger-prints___________.

C) as an international law D) whenever possible
