II. 阅读理解(Reading comprehension) (共20小题;选择题5小题,每小题1分,非选择题15小题,每小题2分,计35分)

 A) 选择题:阅读下面短文,从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出能回答所提问题的最佳答案。(答案涂在答题纸上)

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. It is also one of the most interesting. It was named after Jupiter, the most important of the Roman gods, and nicknamed the “King of Planets.” It is the fifth planet from the sun and the fourth brightest object in the sky. Before the invention of the telescope, Jupiter was thought to be a bright star.

In 1610, the famous astronomer Galileo realised that Jupiter was actually a planet. He also noticed that it had four large moons. These are known as the Galilean moons. The biggest is Ganymede, and it is larger than the planets Pluto and Mercury. Next in size is Callisto, which is the farthest away from Jupiter. Io is the closest to the planet, and has a lot of active volcanoes. The smallest of the Galilean moons is Europa. Europa is covered in ice, and scientists believe there may be an ocean underneath.

Galileo's discovery that Jupiter was not a star but a planet was very important. Before this time, people believed the Earth to be the centre of the universe. They thought that the sun, stars, and other planets all revolved around the Earth. However, Galileo proved that the sun was at the centre of the universe!

(A) Jupiter is farther out in the solar system than Earth, so it takes longer to revolve around the sun. (B) However, a day on Jupiter is much shorter, only 9.8 Earth hours. (C) This is because it spins a lot faster than the Earth does. (D)

Another of Jupiter's interesting features is its “Great Red Spot.” On the surface of the planet is a large red spot. The spot is actually a huge storm like a hurricane, but bigger. It covers an area twice as big as the Earth and has been going on for at least 400 years!

46. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Features of the planet Jupiter.     

B. Differences between Jupiter and other planets.

C. Galileo's accomplishments in astronomy.

D. How Jupiter moves in the solar system.

47. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about Jupiter?

A. It is the brightest object in the sky.

B. One of its four moons might have an ocean.

C. It is the fourth planet from the sun.

D. Either Pluto or Mercury is bigger than it.

48. According to Paragraph 3, why is Galileo's discovery important?

A. Because Jupiter was thought to be smaller than Earth.

B. Because people knew that Earth is not the only planet.

C. Because it meant that the planet goes around the Earth.

D. Because it proved that Earth is not the centre of the universe.

49. The underlined word “revolved” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to        .

A. approached       B. stopped          C. sped up          D. circled

50. Where would the following sentence best fit into Paragraph 4, (A), (B), (C) or (D)?

     This means that one year on Jupiter is as long as 11.6 Earth years.

B) 非选择题:阅读下列材料,然后按要求完成所给出的题目。(答案写在答题纸上)

A

Questions 51—54: Complete the table according to the passages with no more than three words in each blank.

Questions 55—56: Answer the following questions briefly.

55. What is the main purpose of “Open Evenings” at the University of Westminster?

56. How many words does the thesis of an EdD programme have to contain?

B

What would your teacher think if you walked into class and said,“Hey buddy, what's up?” He would probably think you were impolite for speaking too casually. A better greeting might be, “Good morning, sir.” This is one example showing how English usage depends on a particular relationship. As you can see, English has no honorifics (敬语) in the language itself, unlike Korean and Japanese. Instead, English speakers show respect by speaking politely and formally.

This is particularly true when you are making requests. Imagine you are at dinner with an American host family. A basic rule to keep in mind is always to use “please” and “thank you” when you ask for something. “Pass me the salt” is considered a rude command!“Pass me the salt, please” is fairly polite. To ask even more politely, English speakers use “would you” or “could you” at the beginning of requests: “Would you please pass me the salt?”

Another way to show respect in English is through the use of titles. In formal situations you should call a person Mr., Mrs., or Ms. Certain professions have titles as well. For example, doctors are called Dr. instead of Mr., Mrs., or Ms. A person who holds a PhD is also called “doctor”. Judges also have a special title, “Your Honour”, in the courtroom. Finally, a police officer should be addressed as “Officer”.

(64) Even though the English language does not have honorifics in the language form, it is important to show respect in certain situations. With close friends you can use slang and casual language. However, you should take care to speak differently to older people, or those who you don't know very well. (65) Also when you're not sure which level of formality to use, you should be more formal than not formal enough, just as you would in Korean or Japanese.

Questions 61—63: Answer the questions or complete the sentence.

61. What is the passage mainly talking about?

62. There are two ways for English speakers to show respect in oral communication. What are they?

63. When you talk to a police officer who is going to give you a ticket for speeding, you should call him or her “________”.

Questions 64—65: Translate the underlined sentences into Chinese.
