Cell phones are all around us. We use cell phones to call our friends, send text messages, play games, and even take photographs. Now imagine using your cell phone to call your air conditioner (空调器). If this were possible you could tell your air conditioner to turn on before you got home. Does this sound impossible to you? Well, it could become possible sooner than you think. In the near future, we might use cell phones as remote controls (遥控器) for the electrical devices (器具) in our homes. People are already working to develop different ways to communicate wirelessly with devices we use every day. For example, it is already possible for cell phones to communicate with laptop computers. Business people using laptops during meetings can use their cell phones as remote controls. They can use their cell phones to send instructions to computers to turn on, change pictures, and turn off. With the same technology, people can use their cell phones to control other devices. You can call your stereo (立体声音响设备) to play music automatically (自动地). You can call your lights to turn on when you enter a room. Maybe even by next summer you will be able to call your air conditioner!51. What is the main idea of this passage? A. In the future we will all need air conditioners. B. Business people need to use computers. C. Some people like to make phone calls to machines. D.

Peter Owen has been making wigs (假发) since the 1980s. He has made wigs for the stars of more than seventy movies, including Tom Hanks in Philadelphia, Johnny Depp in Sleepy Hollow, and Nicole Kidman in The Others. One of his biggest jobs so far has been designing the hair and make-up for the three Lord of the Rings movies. He had just six weeks to design and make more than a hundred wigs, each one a different style, colour, shape and length.
The hair and make-up in a movie are just as important as the costumes(戏装) or the sets. Over the years, Peter has made actors look older, younger, healthy and sick. For one movie he even made a female actor look like a man!“What people don’t realize about wigs is that we are not always making people more beautiful,” he says. “Often we are covering up beauty and making them look ordinary.” All Peter’s wigs are hand-made using human hair, so they look as real as possible. This also makes them very expensive―between US$4,500 and US$12,500 each! He knows he’s done a good job when people don’t realize the star of the movie is wearing a wig. So he was pleased when one newspaper said that Nicole Kidman had dyed her hair dark brown for a movie. “It was a wig and no one knew that,” he says.56. How many wigs did Peter make for the three Lord of the Rings movies? A. More than one hundred. B. Seventy. C. Sixty. D. Three hundred.57. What’s the best heading for Paragraph 2? A. How wigs can change people’s height. B. Peter Owen: Wigmaker to the stars. C. Peter’s wigs look very real. D. Peter’s wigs are very expensive.58. What special feature about wigs does Peter mention? A. They can make people more beautiful. B. They can change people’s hair styles. C. They can cover up beauty and make people look ordinary. D. They can make people look younger. 59. Why are Peter’s wigs so expensive? A. They are made in foreign countries. B. Peter makes the best wigs. C. They are only made for rich film makers. D. They are handmade using human hair.60. Which statement is NOT TRUE about Peter? A. Peter Owen has made wigs for lots of movies. B. Designing and making the wigs for The Lord of the Rings was a huge job. C. In a movie, the costumes are more important than the hair and make-up. D. If people think that a wig is real hair, Peter is happy.
C
Val Plumwood was exploring a river in Kakadu National Park in northern Australia. As her canoe went round a bend, she saw a stick in the water. When she got closer she saw that the stick had eyes―golden eyes. It was a crocodile!
Val tried to turn the canoe away but the crocodile hit it hard. Over and over again it hit the canoe. The bank of the river was very steep, so Val tried to jump into a tree. When she jumped, the crocodile grabbed her with its jaws and pulled her under the water.
Crocodiles kill an animal by rolling it around under the water until it becomes weak. This is called the“death roll”. They then hold the animal under the water until it drowns (淹死). The crocodile rolled Val around and around. Her head came out of the water and she took a deep breath, but the crocodile pulled her under again. After a second death roll, Val felt the crocodile’s jaws pull her under again. After the third death roll, Val pulled herself free and threw herself up the steep bank. At first she kept falling back toward the crocodile, but finally she was able to pull herself to the top of the bank. Four hours later she was found and taken to hospital. She was badly hurt, but alive!61. When Val first saw the crocodile, what did she think it was?62. What happens to an animal when a crocodile holds it under the water?63. How many times did the crocodile roll Val around in a “death roll”?64. How did Val escape from the crocodile?

In the summer of 1917, two English schoolgirls, sixteen-year-old Elsie Wright and her cousin Frances Griffiths, spent many hours playing near a stream (溪流) in a place called Cottingley Glen. Frances, who was only nine, would often come home with her shoes and clothes wet. This annoyed her mother and her aunt, Elsie’s mother. They asked Frances why she kept going into the stream. Frances was silent for a moment, and then replied that she went to see the fairies (仙女). The two women didn’t believe her. Then Elsie said that she had seen the fairies too and that they would take photographs to prove it. So they borrowed Elsie’s father’s camera and went back to Cottingley Glen. The girls produced a number of photographs of themselves with fairies. Mr Wright did not believe the fairies were real, but the girls’ mothers were not so sure. They didn’t think their daughters would trick them and, like many people at that time, they wanted to believe that fairies existed. They showed the photographs to other people, who studied them and argued about them. Many believed that the Cottingley Glen fairies were real, even the famous author Arthur Conan Doyle. It wasn’t until 1983 that Elsie admitted to a journalist that the photographs were fakes (伪造品). The girls had drawn the fairies, cut them out and used pins to stand them up. Elsie said she couldn’t believe that their “little joke” had tricked so many people for so many years. 67. Where was the stream where Elsie and Frances used to play?68. Why did Frances’s mother get annoyed?69. Who was Arthur Conan Doyle?70. How did the girls make the fakes?

VII. 写作(Writing) A) One possible version:
Hi Lily, How are you? On Saturday night I’ll have a birthday party at my house and I’d like to invite you. You can come to Baishan by train and, if you want, I can pick you up from the station. Since we are on our winter holiday, I’m hoping you can stay with me for a few days. I’ll take you to some places of interest. We’ll have great fun. See you soon, Louis B) One possible version: I enjoy going to fast food restaurants such as McDonald’s and KFC. Fast food saves time and it’s also very convenient. However, experts say that fast food is full of fat and sugar which can cause people to grow heavier and heavier. And if a person eats too much fast food he will not feel like eating other things. As a result, he will become overweight and weak. If fast food can cause health problems, we should choose to eat healthy food. I think it’s wise to eat traditional food. It is also important for us to help other people around us make good food choices.一、 评分原则: 1. 本题总分为: A) 10分; B) 15分。按四个档次给分。 2. 评分时,先根据文章的内容和语言初步确定其所属档次,然后以该档次的要求来衡量,确定或调整本档次,最后给分。 3. 作文词数少于50或多于100的, 从总分中减去2分。 4. 如书写较差,以至影响交流,将分数降低一个档次。 二、 内容要点: 1. 包括图示所有内容,可适当增加情节,使内容连贯。 2. 故事发展的重要情节即内容要点。 三、 各档次的给分范围和要求: 第四档(很好):A) 9—10分; B) 12—15分 完全完成了试题规定的要求,覆盖所有内容要点,符合英语表达习惯, 应用了较多的语法结构和词汇,没有语法和词汇错误,具备较强的语言运用能力,完全达到了预期的写作目的。 第三档(好):A) 6—8分; B) 9—11分 完成了试题规定的要求,应用的语法结构和词汇能满足题目的要求,符合英语表达习惯, 基本没有语法和词汇错误,达到了预期的写作目的。 第二档(一般):A) 4—5分; B) 5—8分 未恰当完成试题规定的要求,漏掉内容要点,未描述清楚主要内容,写了一些无关内容,有语法和词汇错误,影响了对写作内容的理解,信息未能清楚地传达给读者。 第一档(差):A) 1—3分; B) 1—4分 未完成试题规定的要求,明显遗漏主要内容,写了一些无关内容,语法结构单调,词汇项目有限,有较多语法和词汇错误,影响对写作内容的理解,信息未能传达给读者。 0分 未能传达给读者任何信息:没有内容或内容太少,无法评判,写的内容均与所要求内容无关或所写内容无法看清。 四、 说明: 1. 内容要点可用不同方式表达。 2. 对紧扣主题的适当发挥不予扣分。 3. 漏掉每个要点扣1—2分。

W: Well, I’m going to be at the library until eight so we could meet in town. M: I can pick you up at the library, then you won’t have to get a bus. W: Thanks. That would be great. Question: Where are they going to meet?13. W: I’m really hungry!Shall we go out tonight? M: I’ve already cooked the chicken!

Part IV. Passages A) You will hear a passage. Choose the best answer to each question. The passage will be read twice.Woman: The brain is the most amazing part of our bodies. But just like our bodies, it needs care. Getting a good night’s sleep, eating a balanced diet and taking deep breaths are all important ways of looking after both your body and your brain. Many people think their brain will slow down with age and their memory will get worse. The truth is, just like your body, you can also improve your brain. I’ve found I can improve my memory by picturing what I need to remember. For example, if I’m going shopping and I need bread, milk and a birthday card for my brother, I picture a loaf of bread, a bottle of milk with a cow in the front and a birthday card with a football on it. The same kind of thing can be used with important dates. If you have a picture in your mind of a special event it’s much easier to remember than just a number. Another way of improving your mind is to make sure you often visit new places and have new experiences. I find learning Spanish is a great way to keep the brain working, but communication in any language is important.
B) You will hear a passage. Choose the best answer to each question. The passage will be read twice.Man: Next month, students from the fashion department at Iffley College will hold an exciting show to collect money for children. They are putting on a fashion show and it will take place on Saturday 25th June. The show will be held in the new drama studio on the first floor of the college.

The show will end at 2:45 pm with a presentation of the students’ own designs. Come and help children in need at the same time. It’ll be a fun day out! You can buy tickets for the show on the college website, or over the phone. 2005年全国中学生英语能力竞赛(NEPCS)决赛 初二年级组试题

Many high school students in the United States take part in school activities such as sports, bands, math clubs, science clubs, and theater activities. But after-school activities are not just for high school students. Many elementary schools also have after-school programs for students. Most of the students in elementary after-school programs cannot go home when school ends because both parents work. These students are too young to stay at home alone. So the main purpose (目的) of these programs is just to look after the children until their parents can take them home. And the best part is that many of the activities in elementary schools are free for parents, unlike some daycare centers that are usually very expensive. The teachers in charge of(负责) the programs want the children to learn while they are there. So the programs may have a special time for children to do their homework. And many schools also keep the school libraries open for students. Students can go to the libraries to read books or to use the libraries’ computers. But after-school programs are not “all work”. There is also plenty of time for children to play in the school’s playground. A) 阅读上面的短文,选择最佳选项完成56题。 (答案涂在答题纸上)56. What’s the passage mainly about? A. After-school activities for elementary school students. B. Elementary school students and their parents. C. It is about how parents look after their children. D.

And I have four younger brothers and sisters. So I know how to get on well with children.
Yours,Tim Woods
B) One possible version: I don’t think dropping out of school is a good idea. Firstly, some parents think getting money is more important than getting knowledge. So they don’t encourage their children to go to school. In fact, knowledge can bring money. Now most of the rich people are well-educated. Secondly, you are only 15 years old. You are too young to go to work. Thirdly, you have so many school friends. Don’t you want to study and play with them? Workers in the factory are all much older than you. Can you get on well with them? Stay with us!一、 评分原则: 1. 本题总分为: A) 10分; B)15分。按四个档次给分。 2. 评分时,先根据文章的内容和语言初步确定其所属档次,然后以该档次的要求来衡量,确定或调整本档次,最后给分。 3. 作文词数少于50或多于100的, 从总分中减去2分。 4. 如书写较差,以至影响交流,将分数降低一个档次。 二、 内容要点: 1. 包括图示所有内容,可适当增加情节,使内容连贯。 2. 故事发展的重要情节即内容要点。 三、 各档次的给分范围和要求: 第四档(很好):A) 9—10分; B) 12—15分 完全完成了试题规定的要求,覆盖所有内容要点,应用了较多的语法结构和词汇,没有语法和词汇错误,具备较强的语言运用能力,完全达到了预期的写作目的。 第三档(好):A) 6—8分; B) 9—11分 完成了试题规定的要求,应用的语法结构和词汇能满足题目的要求,基本没有语法和词汇错误,达到了预期的写作目的。 第二档(一般):A) 4—5分; B) 5—8分 未恰当完成试题规定的要求,漏掉内容要点,未描述清楚主要内容,写了一些无关内容,有语法和词汇错误,影响了对写作内容的理解,信息未能清楚地传达给读者。 第一档(差):A) 1—3分; B) 1—4分 未完成试题规定的要求,明显遗漏主要内容,写了一些无关内容,语法结构单调,词汇项目有限,有较多语法和词汇错误,影响对写作内容的理解,信息未能传达给读者。 0分 未能传达给读者任何信息:内容太少,无法评判,写的内容均与所要求内容无关或所写内容无法看清。 四、 说明: 1. 内容要点可用不同方式表达。 2. 对紧扣主题的适当发挥不予扣分。 3. 漏掉每个要点扣1—2分。

Please come to my house for dinner on Friday night. You can easily get to my house from the school. You can walk from the school to my house; it will take about twenty minutes. It is much faster to take a taxi or bus. Sometimes it is hard to catch a taxi near the school, so I think you’d better take the bus. There is a bus stop in front of the bookshop near our school. Take bus No. 83. From the school, the bus will drive along School Road and turn left at Main Street. Get off the bus at the second stop on Main Street. You will see a bank across the street from the bus stop. Walk right along until you find Linden Road. Go left on Linden Road and you will find my house on the right. It’s 4772 Linden Road. See you then! B) You will hear a passage. Choose the best answer to each question. The passage will be read twice.
Whether we like it or not, we all have to go shopping from time to time. Luckily, I like it. And I like to go window shopping very much. By window shopping, I learn a lot about the new changes in fashion and style. I sometimes find a good sale when I’m out window shopping. Because I go window shopping a lot, I know how much things cost at different shops. That’s why I never overpay for things. I also go to buy some fruit and vegetables every week. Usually I shop at Smith’s, a supermarket very close to my house. I like Smith’s because it has fresh fruit and vegetables all the time.
