Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage One John Grisham was born on February 2, 1955, in Jonesboro,

20、Arkansas, in the USA. His father was a construction worker and moved his family all around the southern states of America, stopping wherever he could find work. Eventually they settled in Mississippi. Graduating from law school in 1981, Grisham practiced law for nearly a decade in Southaven, special

21、izing in criminal defense and personal injury litigation (诉讼). In 1983, he was elected to the state House of Representatives and served until 1990. One day at the Dessoto County courthouse, Grisham heard the horrifying testimony of a 12-year-old rape victim. He decided to write a novel exploring wha

22、t would have happened if the girls father had murdered her attackers. He proceeded to get up every morning at 5 a.m. to work on the novel, called A Time to Kill, which was published in 1988. Grishams next novel, The Firm, was one of the biggest hits of 1991, spending 47 weeks on The New York Times b

23、estseller list. Grisham lives with his wife and two children, div/ding their time between their Victorian home on a 67 acre firm in Mississippi and a 204 acre plantation near Charlottesville, Virginia. When hes not writing, Grisham devotes time to charitable causes, including mission trips with his

24、church group. As a child, he dreamt of becoming a professional baseball player, and now serves as the local Little League commissioner. He has built six ballfields on his property and hosts children from 26 Little League teams. 46. John Grisham is _ at present. A. a writer B. a lawyer C. a professio

25、nal baseball player D. a congressman 47. What inspired Grisham to write his first novel? A. A case of murder. B. A case of rape. C. His fathers experience. D. His life on the farm. 48.

28、gPassage Two A quality education is the ultimate liberator. It can free people from poverty, giving them the power to greatly improve their lives and take a productive place in society. It can also free communities and countries, allowing them to leap forward into periods of wealth and social unity

29、that otherwise would not be possible. For this reason, the international community has committed itself to getting all the worlds children into primary school by 2015, a commitment known as Education for All. Can education for all be achieved by 2015? The answer is definitely yes, although it is a d

30、ifficult task. If we now measure the goal in terms of children successfully completing a minimum of five years of primary school, instead of just enrolling for classes, which used to be the measuring stick for education, then the challenge becomes even more difficult. Only 32 countries were formerly

31、 believed to be at risk of not achieving education for all on the basis of enrollment rates. The number rises to 88 if completion rates are used as the criterion. Still, the goal is achievable with the right policies and the right support from the international community. 59 of the 88 countries at r

32、isk can reach universal primary completion by 2015 if they bring the efficiency and quality of their education systems into line with standards observed in higher-performing systems. They also need significant increases in external financing and technical support. The 29 countries lagging farthest b

33、ehind will not reach the goal without unprecedented rates of progress. But this is attainable with creative solution, including use of information technologies, flexible and targeted foreign aid, and fewer people living in poverty. A key lesson of experience about what makes development effective is

34、 that a countrys capacity to use aid well depends heavily on its policies, institutions and management. Where a country scores well on these criteria, foreign assistance can be highly effective. 51. In the first paragraph, the author suggests that a quality education can _ A. free countries from for

35、eign rules B. speed up social progress C. give people freedom D. liberate people from any exploitation 52. Ideally, the goal of the program of Education for All is to _ by 2015. A. get all the worlds children to complete primary school B. enroll all the worlds children into primary school C. give qu

36、ality education to people of 88 countries D. support those committed to transforming their education systems 53. _ countries are now at risk of not achieving education for all on the basis of completion rates. A. 32 B. 59 C. 29 D. 88 54. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT mentio

37、ned as the right policy? A. Raising the efficiency of education systems. B. Improving the quality of education. C. Using information technologies. D. Building more primary schools. 55. As can be gathered from the last paragraph, foreign aid _ A. may not be highly effective B. is provided only when s

38、ome criteria are met C. alone makes development possible D. is most effective for those countries lagging farthest behindPassage Three Most people think of lions as strictly African beasts, but only because theyre been killed off almost everywhere else. Ten thousand years ago lions spanned vast sect

39、ions of the globe. Now lions hold only a small fraction of their former habitat, and Asiatic lions, a subspecies that split from African lions perhaps 100,000 years ago, hang on to an almost impossibly small slice of their former territory. India is the proud steward of these 300 or so lions, which

40、live primarily in a 560-square-mile sanctuary (保护区). It took me a year and a half to get a permit to explore the entire Gir Forest-and no time at all to see why these lions became symbols of royalty and greatness. A tiger will hide in the forest unseen, but a lion stands its ground, curious and unaf

41、raid-lionhearted. Though they told me in subtle ways when I got too close, Girs lions allowed me unique glimpses into their lives during my three months in the forest. Its odd to think that they are threatened by extinction; Gir has as many lions as it can hold-too many, in fact. With territory in s

42、hort supply, lions move about near the boundary of the forest and even leave it altogether, often clashing with people. Thats one reason India is creating a second sanctuary. There are other pressing reasons: outbreaks of disease or natural disasters. In 1994 a serious disease killed more than a thi

43、rd of Africas Serengeti lions-a thousand animals-a fate that could easily happen to Girs cats. These lions are especially vulnerable to disease because they descend from as few as a dozen individuals. If you do a DNA test, Asiatic lions actually look like identical twins, says Stephen OBrien, a geneticist (基因学家) who has studied them. Yet the dangers are hidden, and you wouldnt suspect them by watching these lords of the forest. The lions display vitality, and no small measure of charm. Though the gent
