Part I Writing (30 minutes)

1． For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on Doing Exercise and Keeping Fit. Your composition should be based on the outline given below in Chinese. You should write at least 120 words.如何保持强健的身体?不同的人有不同的观点。请谈谈你的观点，并阐述理由。

正确答案： Doing Exercise and Keeping Fit Some people believe that the best way to keep fit is to be on a diet, but to me, to do exercise is the best way. First of all, exercise provides a source of the needed energy. Without exercise, we may get sick easily. Just as a machine breaks down if not often used, so our body can stop working properly if not given enough exercise. Second, exercise takes away unnecessary fat more effectively than any other means. We can take up different kinds of exercise according to our health, age, and so on. If we want to keep a sound figure or lose our weight, jogging is the best and most convenient way. Only by doing exercise can we keep in good shape in the long run. Furthermore, exercise gives us a good appetite. Exercise consumes energy and then refuels our body, and thus we tend to eat more, enjoying lots of delicious food. If we lose our appetite, what does our life count? So why do you still keep sitting in front of the screen? Let’s go out and keep running, jumping and enjoying.

Coretta Scott King Coretta Scott King, the widow of civil rights, activist Martin Luther King Jr. , has died. She was 78. Mrs. Bagley said her body would be returned to her home, Atlanta, for entombment next to her husband, whose crypt is at the Martin Luther King Jr. Center there. Mrs. King had been in falling health since suffering a stroke and heart attack last August. She appeared at a Martin Luther King Day dinner on Jan. 14, but did not speak. Andrew Young, the former United Nations ambassador and longtime family friend, said at a news conference this morning that Mrs. King died in her sleep. “She was a woman born to struggle,” Mr. Young said, “and she has struggled and she has overcome.” Mrs. King rose from rural poverty

in Heiberger, Ala. , to become an international symbol of the civil rights revolution of the 1960’s and a fireless advocate for social and political issues ranging from women’s rights to the struggle against apartheid in South Africa that followed in its wake. She was studying music at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston in 1952 when she met a young graduate student in philosophy, who on their first date told her: “The four things that I look for in a wife are character, personality, intelligence and beauty. And you have them all.” A year later, she and Dr. King, then a young minister from a prominent Atlanta family, were married, beginning a remarkable partnership that ended with his assassination in Memphis on April 4,1968. Mrs. King did not hesitate to pick up his mantle, marching, even before her husband was buried, at the head of the striking garbage workers that he had gone to Memphis to champion. She then went on to lead the effort for a national holiday in his honor and to found the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Non-Violent Social Change in Atlanta, dedicated both to scholarship and to activism, where Dr. King is buried. Coretta Scott was born on April 27, 1927, the second of three children born to Obadiah and Bernice Scott. She grew up in the two-room house her father built on land that had been owned by the family for three generations. From the start there was nothing predictable about her life. The family was poor, and she grew up picking cotton in the hot fields of the segregated South or doing housework. But Mr. Scott hauled timber, owned a country store and worked as a barber. His wife drove a school bus, and the whole family helped raise hogs, cows, chickens and vegetables. So by the standards of blacks in Alabama at the time, the family had both resources and ambitions out of the reach of most others. Some of Coretta Scott’s earliest insights into the injustice of segregation came as she walked to her one-room school house each day, watching buses full of white children stir up dust as they passed. She got her first sense of the world beyond rural Alabama when she attended the Lincoln School, a private missionary institution in nearby Marion, where she studied piano and voice and had her first encounters with college-educated teachers and where she resolved to flee to a world far beyond rural, segregated Alabama. She graduated first in her high school class of 17 in 1945 and then began attending Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio, where two years earlier her older sister, Edythe, had been the first black to enroll. She studied education and music and after graduation went on to the New England Conservatory of Music, hoping to become a classical singer and working as a mail order clerk and cleaning houses to augment the fellowship that barely paid her tuition. Her first encounter with the man who would become her husband did not begin auspiciously, as recounted in “Parting the Waters” by Taylor Branch. Dr. King, very much in the market for a wife, called her after getting her name from a friend and announced: “You know every Napoleon has his Waterloo,” he said. “I’m like Napoleon. I’m at my Waterloo, and I’m on my knees.” Ms. Scott, two years his elder, replied: “That’s absurd. You don’t even know me.” Still, she agreed to meet for lunch the next day, only to be put off initially that he was not taller. But she was impressed by his erudition and confidence, and he saw in this refined, intelligent woman what he was looking for as the wife of a preacher from one of Atlanta’s most prominent ministerial families. When he proposed, she deliberated for

six months before saying yes, and they were married in the garden of her parents’ house on June 18, 1953. The 350 guests, elegant big- city folks from Atlanta and rural neighbors from Alabama, made it the biggest wedding, white or black, the area had ever seen. Even before the wedding, she made it clear she intended to remain her own woman. She stunned Dr. King’s father, the Rev. Martin Luther King Sr., who presided over the wedding, by demanding that the promise to obey her husband be removed from the wedding vows. Reluctantly, he went along. After it was over, the bridegroom fell asleep in the ear on the way back to Atlanta while the new Mrs. King did the driving. Mrs. King thought she was signing on for the ministry, not ground zero in the seismic cultural struggle that would soon shake the South, and her husband became minister of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery in 1954. But just over a year later, the Montgomery Bus Boycott brought Dr. King to national attention and then, like riders on a runaway freight train, the minister and his young wife found themselves in the middle of a movement that would transform the South and ripple through the nation. In 1960, the family moved back to Atlanta, where he shared the pulpit of the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church with his father. With four young children to raise and a movement culture dominated by men, Mrs. King, for the most part, remained away from the front lines of the movement. But the recognition of danger was always there, including a brush with death when he was stabbed while autographing books in Harlem in 1958. What role she would play was a source of some tension between them. While wanting to be there for their children, she also wanted to be active in the movement. He was, she has said, traditional in his view of women and balked at the notion she should be more conspicuous. “Martin was a very strong person, and in many ways had very traditional ideas about women,” she told The New York Times Magazine in 1982. She continued, “He’d say, ‘I have no choice, I have to do this, but you haven’t been called.’” “And I said, ‘Can’t you understand? You know I have an urge to serve just like you have.’” Still, he always described her as a partner in his mission, not just a supportive spouse. “I wish I could say, to satisfy my masculine ego, that I led her down this path,” he said in a 1967 interview. “But I must say we went down together, because she was as actively involved and concerned when we met as she is now.” She mostly carved out her own niche, most prominently through more than 30 “Freedom Concerts” where she lectured, read poetry and sang to raise awareness of and money for the civil rights movement.

听力原文： The London bombings will cost the UK up to 3 billion pounds and have an effect on the economy comparable to a natural disaster or deadly virus outbreak, an expert has said. The World Markets Research Centre said the attacks will cause similar economic damage to ahurricane or earthquake, or the Sars crisis of 2003. Jan Randolph, head of risk at tile London-Based Business analysts, said: “You have the immediate cost in terms of physical damage.” But the real cost comes from the knock-on effect which is quite considerable in terms of use of public transport and retail sales, which were sliding anyway. “There’s also tourism and entertainment to consider, there will be less visitors, less people going to theatres and

restaurants.” “We estimate 2 to 3 billion pounds in terms of cost to the UK economy and a fall in growth of up to 0.2% over the quarter, although that should rebound next quarter, as it did after September 11 and the Madrid bombings.” Mr. Randolph predicted there would also be an increase in the internet retail sector and use of car parks as a result of the London bombings. He said: “What we saw amid the Sars virus in Asia was a rise in online shopping--the same is likely to happen here.” “People will just think, ‘Why risk going out the door when I can just order my hi-fi or groceries or whatever over the internet’?’ Commuters are also likely to take their cars into work more, rather than chance it on public transport.”

Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.

What do we think with? Only the brain? Hardly. The brain is like a

telephone exchange. It is the switchboard, but not the whole system. Its function is to receive in-coming signals, make proper connections, and send the messages through to their destination. For efficient service, the body must function as a whole. But where is the “mind”? Is it in the brain? Or perhaps in the nervous system? After all, can we say that the mind is in any particular place? It is not a thing, like a leg, or even the brain. It is a function, an activity. Aristotle, twenty-three hundred years ago, observed that the mind was to the body what cutting was to tile ax. When the ax is not in use, there is no cutting. So with the mind. “Mind,” said Charles H. Woolbert, “is what the body is doing.” If this activity is necessary for thinking, it is also necessary for carrying thought from one person to another. Observe how people go about business of ordinary conversation. If you have never done this painstakingly, you have a surprise in store, for good conversationalists are almost constantly in motion. Their heads are continually nodding and shaking sometimes so vigorously that you wonder how their necks can stand the strain. Even the legs and feet are active. As for the hands and arms, they are seldom still for more than a few seconds at a time. These people, remember, are not making speeches. They are merely common folk trying to make others understand what they have in mind. They are not conscious of movement. Their speech is not studied. They are just human creatures in a human environment, trying to adapt themselves to a social situation. Yet they converse, not only with oral language, but with visible actions that involve practically every muscle in the body. In short, because people really think all over, a speaker must talk all over ii he succeeds in making people think.

58． Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A．Bodily Communication. B．Bodily Actions. C．Spoken Language. D．Conversations.

正确答案：A

59． Which of the following statements would the author agree with? A．Thinking is a social phenomenon. B．Thinking is solely a brain function.

C．Thinking is a function of the nervous system. D．Thinking is the sum total of bodily activity.

正确答案：D

60． In communication, it is essential not only to employ speech, but also ______.

A．to speak directly to the other person

B．to employ a variety of bodily movements

C．to be certain that the other person is listening

D．to pay great attention to the other person’s behavior

正确答案：B

61． It can be inferred from the passage that the basic function of bodily activity in speech is to ______.

A．make the listener feel emotional B．make the speaker understood

C．strengthen the speaker’s oral words

D．convey the speaker’s implied meaning to the listener

正确答案：A

As infants, we live without a sense of the past; as adults, we can recall events from decades ago. Scientists have only a vague understanding of this remarkable transition, when our sense of time expands beyond this morning’s feeding and last week’s bath, but now they know a bit more: Conor Liston of Harvard University has determined that the beginnings of long-term recall arise between the ninth and the 17th month of a baby’s life, coinciding with structural changes in the memory- processing regions of the brain. Besides explaining why Junior doesn’t remember last month’s trip to Disney World, these results should help guide future research on the link between early behavioral development and changes in the infant brain. “It wasn’t clear how long children in the first year of life could retain a memory of an event,” Liston says. We were interested in testing the hypothesis that neurological developments at the end of the first year and the beginning of the second would result in a significant Enhancement in this kind of memory. Liston showed a simple demonstration to infants ages 9, 17, or 24 months old. The test results showed a huge difference between the test children Who had been 9 months old when they saw the first demonstration and those who had been older. “Whereas 9-month-olds don’t I really remember a thing after four months, 17-and 24-month-olds do,” Liston says. “Something is happening in the brain between 9 and 17 months old that enables children to encode these memories efficiently and in such a way that they can be retained and retrieved after a long period of time,” Liston says. Researchers believe that changes in certain regions of the brain’s frontal lobe and the hippocampus, which axe associated with memory retention and retrieval,

drive the rapid expansion of childhood recall. Previous studies have shown that the frontal lobes in humans begin to mature during the last quarter of the first year of life. Liston’s work may help explain why adults can rarely remember anything from before their second birthday or so. Most people simply accept this “infant amnesia” as a fact of life. “But it’s not clear why a 40-year-old has plenty of memories for something that happened 20 years ago, but a 20- year-old has basically no memories for something that happened when he was 2 or 3 ,” Liston says. He suggests that the same brain mechanisms that were not yet able to encode long-term memories in 9-month-olds may also play some role in adults’ inability to remember events of infancy. Researchers still need to look at other areas of cognition -- such as what role language ability plays in memory -- to really fully understand why people can’ t remember anything that happened before 2--3 years of age. But one thing is clear: When l-year-old Snookums claims he doesn’t remember breaking the heirloom chitin five months ago, he’s almost surely telling the truth.
