Part 1 Reading Section A Format 1

The moment two humans lay eyes on each other has incredible. The first sight of you bums its way into your new acquaintance’s eyes and can stay printed in his or her memory forever.

Artists are something able to capture this quicksilver, short emotional response. I have a friend, Robert Grossman, an accomplished artist who draws regularly for Forbes, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, Rolling Stone and other popular publications. Robert has a unique gift for capturing not only the physical appearance of his subjects, but zeroing in on the essence of their personalities. The bodies and souls of hundreds of figures radiate from his sketch pad(素描) . One glance at his pictures of famous people, you can see, for instance, the insecure of arrogance of Madonna, the boyishness of Clinton, the awkwardness of George Bush.

Something at a party, Robert will do a quick sketch on a cocktail napkin of a guest. When he’s finished  drawing , he puts his pen down and hands a napkin to the guest. Often a puzzled look comes over the subject’s face. He or she usually mumbles some politeness like, “well, er, that is great. But it really is not me. ”The crowd’s convincing echo of “Oh yes it is!” drowns down the subject ,who is left to stare back at the world’s view of himself of herself in the napkin. Once I asked Robert how he could capture people’s personalities so well. He said ,”It is simple. I just look at them.” Almost every side of people’s personalities is evident from their appearance, their gesture, the way they move.

First impressions are incredible. Because in our fast-paced information-overload world, multiple stimuli bombard us every second, people’s heads are spinning. They must form quick judgments to make sense of the world and get on with what they have to do. Whenever people meet you, they take an instant mental snapshot. That image of you becomes the data that they deal with for a long time.

Passages 2

My dad was a plumber for the public works department in our town, so from time to time he came into my school. Can you imagine sitting in the class and seeing your dad peek through the door of your classroom and wave at you? In junior high?

One girl in our class always made fun of me because my dad was a plumber and hers was a lawyer, and she would always say things like, “that’s gross!” I must admit that I was sometimes embarrassed by what my dad did, especially in my early teens, when the only thing I really cared about was what the other girls thought.

The girl lived a few streets away from us, and a winter day--the day her older sister got married--the toilet in their main upstairs bathroom cracked and there was water everywhere. Her father called every plumber in the yellow book but nobody would come out because of the major snowstorm. His daughter told her father that my father was a plumber, and he called. My father went over and took me with him. (maybe he was hoping that the lawyer’s daughter would be nicer to me.) My father fixed the toilet, help them clean up everything, and didn’t take  a dime for the trouble. But as we were leaving, he told the girl, “If I ever need a lawyer, I’ll be happy to call your dad.”

As we walked to our car, he said to me, “Do you believe he didn’t know where the main shut-off valve was?

What a dumb ass!”

From that point on, her dad was known in school as Attorney Dumb Ass.

When my husband and I bought our house, the first thing my father showed him was shut-off valve. I have always been proud to say that I am a plumber’s daughter.

Passage 3

Imagine a guitar so tiny that you can't see it with the human eye, but you can hear sound when its strings are pulled. Some people say the future is big, but when it comes to technology, the world is getting smaller.

Nanotechnology (纳米技术) is the science that deals with doing things in a very small way, and it is being

studied and developed all over the world. Micro-machines too small to been seen by the eye are being designed to do many things. And these machines no larger than in diameter than a human hair, are extremely powerfully. Many scientists say nanotechnology will produce the next industrial revolution (工业革命).

Nano comes from the Greek word dwarf . A nanometer is one-billion of a meter. The period of the end of this sentence can contain about 100 micrometers, which in equal to 100,000 nanometers. To understand this new technology, we have to get rid of the normal ideas of size and strength.

Minute(微小的) robots, called “nanorobots” are being developed in the revolutionize manufacturing. Instead of cars being produced on assembling line, for example, scientist predict that cars can be built in a giant container onto which raw material and machines have been placed. Thousands of nanorobots will direct the process and tell the machine what to do.

Micro-machines can also be used to make our environment safer. Today, poison chemicals are stored in containers or transported by trucks or trains. This sometimes result in dangerous spills. But with nanotechnology, manufacturers could have their own tiny chemical factories. The produce would be no bigger than a sugar cube and would manufacture exactly the amount of chemicals needed at the moment. No chemicals would need to be stored. The workplace would be safer, and the environment would be cleaner.

A dictionary contains a definition of friendship somewhere in the F’s between the words “fear” and “Friday”. An encyclopedia supplies interesting facts on friendship. But all the definitions and facts do not convey what    f riendship i s  really all about. 21)  I t  i s  an  experience that involves all senses. 

22)    It is seen in an old couple sitting in the park holding hands. It is the way they touch, a touch as light as a leaf floating in the autumn air, a touch so strong that years of living could not pull them apart. Friendship is seen in a child freely sharing the last cookie. It is the small arm over the shoulder of another as they walk on the playground. Seeing friendship is not casual. It is watching for subtlety, but friendship is there for eyes that can see.

23)   It is heard in the words of two friends squeezing in lunch together on an extremely busy day. It is the way they walk each other, not the words. Their tone is unique. Friendship can be heard by those willing to listen.

Friendship is felt in a touch. It is a pat on the back from a teammate, a high five between classes, the slimy, wet kiss from the family dog. It’s a touch that reassures that someone is there, someone who cares. The touch communicates more than words or gestures. It is instantly understood and speaks volumes beyond the point of

contact, to the heart.

Friendship has a taste. 24)  , the ingredients all measured and planned, then carefully mixed and kneaded, then the quiet waiting as the dough rises. Hot from the oven, the bread tastes more than the sum of its ingredients . There are something else there, perhaps the thoughts of the baker as her hands knead the dough, or her patience as she waits for the dough to rise. Unseen and unmeasured, this is the ingredient that makes the difference .Warm, fresh from the  oven  with a  little butter, the  difference you  taste is  friendship.

Finally, more than the other senses, friendship is an experience of the heart. 24)  , --- a language without words, vowels, or consonants; a language that, whether seen, felt, heard, or tasted, is understood by the heart. Like air  fills the  lungs, friendship fills the  heart, allowing us  to experience the best life has to  offer: a  friend.

A. Friendship has a smell.

B. It is the language of the heart

C. It tastes like homemade bread

D. The only way to understand friendship is through experience.

E. Friendship can be seen.

F. It is a pat on the back from a teammate.

G. Friendship can be heard.

Section B

Imagine going to your doctor with a complaint of frequent headaches. Your doctor takes a prescription and writes a word on it. The word is not “aspirin”. It's “Mozart”.

The idea is not so farfetched. In China, instead of pills, doctors often recommend musical albums with names like Insomnia or Heart, Liver and Lungs, and Chinese people take these musical pieces as prescriptions. In fact, in China music is prescribed as often as herbal medicine to help people with common, everyday problems or to strengthen organs like the liver or the kidneys. Other countries use music for healing as well. In Japan, Mendelssohn’s “Spring Song” is often used to treat headaches. And hospital in India use different kinds of music to treat mental illness.

Using music as therapy is not new. It dates back to the beginning of civilization, when people got together to play music ob primitive drums and rattles. Music plays a part in every ritual and important life event, from weddings and funerals to crop planting and harvesting to marching people into battle. There is even evidence that music was our first language. Scientists found that 2/3 of the tiny hairs insides human ears respond only to the higher frequency of music, which shows that people probably sang before that talked.

Many kinds of music can stir the imagination and produce strong feelings. For some people, romantic composers such as Chopin and Tchaikovsky enhance feelings of love and compassion. Religious and spiritual music can help some people feel peace or lessen their pain. But one musician seems to have a unique ability to heal the human body—Mozart. Scientists have found Mozart's music to be remarkable in its ability to calm its listeners. It can also increase their perception, and help them express themselves more clearly.

Section B

66)There is nothing new about people cutting down trees. In ancient times, Greece, Italy and England were covered with forests. But now almost nothing were left.

Today, trees are being cut down more rapidly. A major cause of present destruction is the worldwide demand for wood. 67)In industrial countries, people are using more and more wood for paper, furniture and houses. There  is not enough wood in these countries, therefore they have begun taking wood from the forest of Asia, Africa and other countries.

Wood is also in great demand in developing countries. 68) In many area, people depend  on wood to cook  their food. As the population grows, the need for wood grows. But when too many trees are cut down, forests are destroyed. In reality , there is usually no chance to grow back. In this way, many million of acres of forests are destroyed every year.

69) The destruction of forests affects first the people who used to lived there. It also has other effects far way. For example, trees help to absorb heavy rains. When the trees are cut down, the rain pours all at once into the river.

70) But finally, the loss of forests may have an effect on the climate of our planet. Together with increasing pollution , it could cause temperature to raise, and the climate will change around the world. No one would know exactly what effects the world would have on our life. For many people the effects would probably be destructive.
