Minh Pham was born in Vietnam．He left his native country when he was 2 I years old．Minh has been in America for almost two years．There is still much he does not understand about America．
Once Minh was in a supermarket．He saw an old man and an old woman．They wanted a box of cereal(麦片)．The box was on a high shelf. The man and woman couldn’t reach it．Minh saw a
stepladder．He got on the ladder and got the box．He handed it to the elderly couple．They thanked
him．
“Where are your children?”asked Minh．“Why don’t they help you buy food?”
“Our children have their own lives,”said the man and woman．“We like to be independent．”
Minh doesn’t think this is right．In his country，children help their parents. Minh gave the elderly
couple his phone number．He told them to call him if they needed help．One night they asked Minh to dinner, but they never asked him for help．
One day, Minh was walking win a Vietnamese friend. The two were going to a movie．Minh
wanted to go to a restaurant first，Minh took his friend’s hand. He pulled him toward the restaurant．People on the street stared at Minh．In Vietnam, friends often hold hands．Minh found out that people in America are not used to men holding hands．
Minh Pham is going through a process known as re-socialization．Socialization is the process in which a person learns to live in a society．Everyone goes through this process．Minh went through it when he lived in Vietnam．But the Vietnamese way life is much different from the American way of life．When Minh came to America, he had to learn a new way of life．He had to learn how to live in a new society．

An American researcher has developed a simple device to help people stop snoring．The device limits the movements of the tissue(软组织) that caused the disliked sound. Snoring is a common problem．It may prevent a person from getting enough sleep. It may also prevent enough oxygen from reaching the heart and lungs during the sleep．But for most people snoring affects relations with the other person who must sleep in the same room．
Snoring happens when the sleeping person breathes with the mouth open. In the back of the
mouth the tissues surrounding the entrance of the throat is soft．As the person breathes, the movement of the air around the soft tissues caused them to move or vibrate(振动)．This tissue movement causes the sound we call snoring．A number of possible solutions have been suggested．Some devices keep the mouth shut．They forced the patient to breathe only through the nose．A medical operation is also possible．Other devices listen for the sound of snoring and then wake the patient．The new antisnoring device was developed by a dentist，George Wagner of the Indian University School of Dentistry．He developed a piece of plastic that fits up against the inside of the mouth．The device keeps the soft tissues from vibrating and making the snoring noise．It was worn only at night．Doctor Wagner said several patients report that the simple device has ended their snoring problem．
60．The American researcher has developed the device with the purpose of ______.
A．keeping the patient’s mouth shut
B．finding out the cause of snoring
C．solving people’s sleeping problem
D．helping those who can’t get on well with the snoring people
61．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Snoring may affect one’s roommates．
B．Snoring may lead to slower heartbeat．
C．Snoring may cause one’s lack of oxygen．
D．Snoring may prevent one from having enough sleep．
62．From this passage we know that snoring happens ______.
A．if one is in poor health
B．if one sleeps with his mouth open
C．if one breathes with the mouth closed
D．if one dreams at night，even during the day
63．How does the new device work to stop a patient snoring?
A．It keeps the patient’s mouth shut．
B．It keeps the soft tissue from vibrating．
C．It provides the patient with enough oxygen．
D．It wakes the patient up as soon as he or she snores．
C
If I had known then what I know now I would have taken my father’s advice when I was 18 and I had to choose my major at university．He told me to study outside Italy where there were more possibilities to find a job once I finished university．But I said no，scared of living alone in a different country with a different culture，with a different language，and above all，far from my family and friends．So I decided to go to university in Italy and I chose the one in Rome，my city, which is one of the most ancient universities in the world，studying “Communication Science” because it was the most common and the most fashionable major six years ago(and still is now…) At that age，I wanted to become a sports journalist, but with the passing time, my opinions and my ideas started changing and I understood that I didn’t like my choice．At that time，I understood that at 18 years old，everyone feels mature to decide about his own future．Everyone thinks that the advice that parents try to give is wrong and we are able to decide alone，maybe just with the help of our friends who are in the same situation．This is the worst thought that we can think．However, I graduated last December with the pride of my parents and I decided，with their help，to come to Toronto and study English．Here I am living the best experience I have ever lived．I often think：“If I had known that living alone in a different country and studying something I like was so nice and interesting when I was 18，I would have listened to what my father told me six years ago．”I try to regret nothing about my choices I have made in my past，but I just think that now I am mature to ask my parents and to listen to them because they have more experience and they know better than me what is right and what is wrong.
64．What can we learn about the writer from the passage?
A．He went to Toronto in order to become a sports journalist．
B．He studied English when he was in a university in Rome．
C．He followed his parents’ advice when choosing a university．
D．He is enjoying his stay in Toronto and his study of English．
65．The underlined word mature in the passage means ______.
A．good and ripe B．confident enough
C．carefully decided D．having a developed mind
66．All the following are the reasons why the writer chose a university at home except that ______. A．he might meet cultural shock
B．he couldn’t speak a second language
C．he wanted to study Communication Science
D．he didn’t want to be separated from his family and friends
67．From his own experience the writer tries to tell us that ______.
A．parents’ advice is worth taking
B．he still prefers to ask his friends for help
C．he doesn’t regret about the choices he made
D．Communication Science is still fashionable now
D
I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city．If it weren’t for my job I would immediately move out for the open spaces and go back to nature．
Cities can be frightening places．The majority of the population live in many tower blocks，noisy，dirty and impersonal．The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up．All you can see from your window is sky，or other blocks of flats．Children become aggressive and nervous as they are shut up at home all day，with nowhere to play；their mothers feel isolated(孤立的) from the rest of the world．Strangely enough，in the past the residents of one street all knew each other，but nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don’t even say hello to each other．
Country life，on the other hand，differs from this kind of：isolated existence in that a sense of
community generally binds the residents of small villages together．People have the advantage of
knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help．But country life has disadvantages too．While it is true that you may be among friends in a village，it is also true that you are cut off from the exciting and important events that take place in cities．There's little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie．Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go a long way to the nearest large town．The city people who leave for the country often can’t bear the stillness and quiet there.
What，then，is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off；the city gives people a feeling of isolation，and constant noise can nearly drive you mad．But one of its main advantages is that you are at the center of things，and that life doesn’t come to all end at half-past nine at night. Some people have found a compromise(折衷) between the two：leave cities and move to villages within commuting(可乘公交车往返的) distance of large cities．It sounds great!
68．It seems that the writer prefers to live in the country mainly because ______.
A．the city is some how polluted B．the country folks are more friendly
C．one can get better sleep in the country D．it’s hard for people to find jobs in the city
69．The biggest disadvantage of living in the country is that ______.
A．1ife there is inconvenient B．shopping is almost impossible
C．you can not see a movie or a show D．1ife comes to an end at half past nine
70．As to which is better, city life or country life，the writer ______.
A．did some explanation B．made some comparison
C．described both of them vividly D．talked a lot about his preference
71．The underlined word “binds”in the third paragraph his similar in meaning to ______.
A．attracts B．drives C．prevents D．unites
E
People have been painting pictures for at least 30,000 years．The earliest pictures were painted by people who hunted animals．They used to paint pictures of the animals they wanted to catch and kill．Pictures of this kind have been found on the walls of caves in France and Spain, No one knows why they were painted there．Perhaps the painter thought that their pictures would help them to catch these animals．Or perhaps human beings have always wanted to tell stories in pictures．
About 5,000 years ago the Egyptians and other people in the Near East began to use pictures as a kind of writing．They drew simple pictures or signs to represent things and ideas, and also to represent the sounds of their language．The signs these people used became a kind of alphabet．
The Egyptians used to record information and to tell stories by putting picture-writing and pictures together．When an important person died，scenes and stories from his life were painted and carved on the walls of the place where he was buried．Some of these pictures are like modem comic-strip{连环漫画) stories．It has been said that Egypt is the home of the comic strip. But，for the Egyptians，pictures still had magic power．So they did not try to make their way of writing simple．The ordinary people could not understand it.
By the year 1,000 BC，people who lived in the area around the Mediterranean Sea had developed a simpler system of writing．The signs they：used were very easy to write，and there were fewer of them than in the Egyptian system．This was because each sign，or letter，represented only one sound in their language．The Greeks developed this system and formed the letter of the Greek alphabet．The Romans copied the idea，and Roman alphabet is now used all over the world．
These days, we can write down a story，or record information，without using pictures．But we still need pictures of all, kinds：drawings，photographs，signs and diagrams．We find them everywhere：in books and newspapers, in the street, and on the walls of the places where we live and work．Pictures help us to understand and remember things more easily，and they call make a story much more interesting．
72．Ancient people in France and Spain painted pictures on walls of caves because ______.
A．they loved animals B．they enjoyed seeing pictures
C．they thought pictures helpful D．they preferred painting pictures telling stories
73．From this passage we know that ______.
A．Egypt is well-known for their comic-strip stories
B．The Roman alphabet was developed from Egyptian alphabet
C．The Egyptian signs made a particular alphabet come into being
D．People in other parts of the world copied their written system from the Egyptians
74．Which of the following statements is，TRUE?
A．Pictures are not as important as they were．
B．Egyptians painted pictures about important people．
C．The earliest writing system was developed by Asians．
D．Scientists have found out why people did cave paintings．
75．The possible title of this article may be ______.
A．Pictures and Writing B．The Best Way of' Writing
C．Home of the Comic-Strip Stories D．The Earliest Language in the World

“八校”2006—2007学年度高三第一次联考
英语录音稿及参考答案
1. M: I went shopping with Mr. Brown and he bought some paper, paints and brushes.
W: Oh, I know, he needs them at high school.
2. W: I don’t understand how you got a ticket. I always thought you were a careful driver.
M: I usually am, but I thought I could make it before the light turned.
3. W: This is the third time you’ve been late this week, Robert. You’ll have to do better than that,
or I might find it necessary to let you go.
M: It won’t happen again. I promise.
4. M: I want to get a private room as soon as possible. Also, please put a “No Visitors” sign on my door when you leave.
W: I’ll take care of both things, but first put this in your mouth so that I can fill in your chart.
5. W: Now this chair I like. It would go perfectly with my blue carpet.
M: Well, there’s a small hole on the back side of the cushion. See? It regularly sells for $159,
but we will gladly make an adjustment if you want it.
6. M: Hello. Are you the person who has a house for sale?
W: Yes, I am.
M: Well, the ad says that it has four bedrooms and three baths, just what I need for my family
of six. May I ask how much you want for it?
W: I prefer not to talk about it over the phone, but let’s say it’s $50,000. But you should pay me $ 10,000 first. Why don’t you come by and take a look?
M: Well, I’m not sure I could pay you such a large sum of money right now, but I would like to see the house. If you can tell me how to get to Churchill Avenue from South Florida Street, my wife and I’ll be over.
7. W: What’s the matter, dear?
M: I want a cup of coffee, but this machine is out of order, and I lost my money.
W: Let’s go to the restaurant at the Student Center.
M: Better not. The last time I was there it was so crowded that I had to wait in line for almost an hour.
W: Really? Let’s go somewhere else then. It can’t be too long because I have a test at three o’clock.
M: Okay. Let’s go to the library. There’s another machine downstairs by the telephones.
8. W: When did you become interested in collecting stamps?
M: Oh, when I was about ten years old. It’s an exciting hobby. You know, the first postage stamps
were issued in Britain in 1840.
W: Really, I didn’t know that. I did know that the charge for mail delivery was paid by either the sender or the receiver. How much was the usual charge?
M: Oh, about ten cents for a short distance. But post offices were losing money with that system.
Rowland Hill, an Englishman, suggested using postage stamps. Here’s a picture of the first
two stamps issued.
W: They both bear a picture of Queen Victoria.
M: Yes, I wish I had the originals. I would be a wealthy man instead of a poor stamp collector.
9. M: Hey, Michelle. Look what I just found. Right here in the sand.
W: A piece of wood? Oh. Driftwood. Interesting shape, almost like some sort of modern
sculpture.
M: Yeah. And feel how smooth it is.
W: Hmm. Must’ve been in the water a long time. It could’ve been drifting in the ocean movement
for months, or even years.
M: In the ocean movement? Doesn’t the wind just blow things around out there?
W: Well, sure. But the ocean water is always moving, too. Almost like rivers, but underwater rivers,
flowing through the ocean.
M: So how do scientists find out where ocean water goes? Stick a message in a bottle and throw it in the water?
W: Don’t laugh. In fact, I was reading in a science magazine that scientists have put huge numbers of bottles into the ocean over the years. They wanted to map out where the ocean water would carry them.
M: Say, I’m sure – after they found out where all those bottles ended up – they could enter all that
data into a computer and make a pretty detailed model to … to show where the ocean water goes.
W: In fact, they did.

Nowadays, rugby is more than just a different way of playing football. But over a hundred years ago, it was “invented” by a schoolboy playing in a football team. This boy wanted to score a goal, so he picked up the ball and ran up the pitch. Then he put the ball down between the goalposts. The boy was a pupil at Rugby school, so ever since then the game has been called rugby.
Let me explain some of the rules of the game. There are fifteen men in a rugby team. In football you may only kick the ball; the ball is completely round. A rugby ball is not round. This makes the ball easier to hold, because you must run with the ball in your hands. Each side tries to carry the ball to the other team’s end of the pitch and places it on the ground. If a player can do this without the other side stopping him, he scores a “try”, which is worth four points. The player can then attempt to kick the ball between the goalposts and score two more points. If a team breaks the rules then the other side can take a free kick at their goal, and it counts as three points.
Every year England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland and France play each other at rugby in a championship. However, the best team in the world comes from New Zealand. The team is called the “All Blacks” because the players wear black shirts, shorts and socks.
Rugby is popular all over the world. Although rugby is a rougher game than football, the players are friendly, but that is after the game is over!

第二节 书面表达 sample versions:
We often give money to the people in poor or disaster-stricken areas. Some students don’t think it a good way to help people there. However, some prefer helping the unfortunate with money.
In their opinion, money can be used to buy daily necessities and can help people rebuild their hometowns, while sometimes the things people there receive are not what they need actually.
But some other students think that giving used clothing to the people in those areas is better. Many people, especially in rich areas and in cities, have much clothing they no longer like or need. By giving it away to the needy people we can make the best use of it. Besides, we are just students, and we have no incomes of our own.
Anyhow, no matter which way is considered better, we should try our best to help those who need help.
