Travel in most of Europe is easy. An agreement between the 15 European Union countries in 1995 means that citizens from most European countries can travel across borders without needing a visa.
Each of the 12 countries that has 21 its own currency (货币) to accept the euro has its own 22 . So how have these countries been able to 43 ? And how has each country prepared for the birth of this new currency?
Firstly, many people in Europe, 24 in west Europe, speak English. The European Convention on Human Rights says that all people have a 25 to learn and use their traditional language.
But at the European Central Bank in Frankfurt, Germany, the official language for all _ 26 is English. And every European country requires students to study English for many years at 27 . Other languages may be offered too. But English is a 28 .

Each country has its own 32 culture. Though the French may be famous for their 1,000 types of cheese and the Greeks are 33 for putting olive oil on everything, most people in Europe like 34 strong coffee on their breakfast table.
Another drink is held 35 throughout the continent. Europe’s vineyards (葡萄园) may be famous, but the real drink of Europe is 36 . Europeans consume tons of it.
Football, of course, also helps to 37 all of Europe. Many fans are obsessed (着迷) with 38 _ and with international stars. David Beckham, of England’s Manchester United, is a hero to Europeans in the same 39 that Michael Jordan is to 40 .

第二部分 阅读理解
（共25小题。第一节每小题2分，第二节每小题1分；满分45分）
第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Doctors and scientists have been doing the research for several years and they have found that men and women are exposed differently to environmental risk, and their bodies may respond differently even to the same threats. For instance, the incidence of respiratory（呼吸的）illness is considerably higher among women and children, who are constantly exposed to indoor air pollution, than among men.
There are varieties of threats against both men and women. One of the latest threats to health and social welfare is the spread of HIV/AIDS. Both sexes are affected, but to different extents in different parts of the world. Globally, men account for 52 percent of infected adults. Lack of information among women on how the disease is transmitted makes people confused on the problem in many regions. In sub-Saharan Africa, 55 percent of those infected are women. In this region, women grow most of the food, and women’s agricultural labour often shows the first signs of wider community destruction by HIV/ AIDS. For example, in Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe where women are responsible for most food production, there has been a progressive shift from maize (玉米) production to less labour-intensive, and less nutritious, cassava (木薯) production because of the labour lost through HIV/AIDS. Why more women than men in this regions have got infected?
41. Respiratory illnesses among women are higher than among men mainly because ______.
A. women are weaker B. women grow most products
C. women stay in houses more often D. women always stay with children
42. According to this passage, on an average in the world, _______.
A. more men get infected with HIV/AIDS than women
B. more women get infected with HIV/AIDS than men
C. more children get infected with HIV/AIDS than adults
D. more women and children get infected with HIV/AIDS than men
43. We can infer from the text that, in sub-Saharan Africa, _____.
A. people are living peacefully B. men don’t work at all
C. there are fewer men than women D. laborers are mainly women
44. The underlined word “shift” probably means _____.
A. raise B. change C. growth D. lift
B
Perhaps the best example of sportsmanlike behavior by the Brazilian public was the reaction of the 220,000 football fans who were crowding Maracan Stadium to watch Brazil play the final game of the World Cup in 2006 against Uruguay. A tie would have given the home team the Jules Rimet Cup. Brazil scored first, but the Uruguayan team fought courageously to tie the game and then went on to score again and became the world champion. Brazilian fans were heartbroken, but there were never any sign of disrespect towards the winners or, perhaps more important, towards the losers.
Brazil’s national team is the only one that has taken part in the final round of all the World Cups up to now, and has managed to win it four times, always abroad. Even when they lose, returning players are welcomed with honor back home, and their efforts, though unsuccessful, are fully recognized by the public. The most recent World Cup competition is a case in point: although deeply disappointed by the performance of their team in the match against France, Brazilians cheered their players. After all, the Brazilian athletes had been able to win for the sixth time the right to compete in the World Cup final. Whatever happens, the team will be warmly supported by all Brazilians.
45. In the World Cup Competition described above, Brazil __________.
A. failed to enter the final B. was beaten by Uruguay in the final
C. became the world champion D. was beaten by France in the final
46. What was the score between Brazil and Uruguay in the World Cup final this time?
A. 1:1. B. 0:1. C. 1:2. D. 1: 3.
47. In the writer’s opinion, the football team is treated_______ in Brazil no matter what happens.
A. with care B. with respect C. unfairly D. badly
48. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Brazil has won six World Cup champions.
B. France beat Brazil and won the right to compete in the final.
C. Uruguay beat Brazil and won the right to compete in the final.
D. Brazil has never failed to enter the World Cup final.

The classical study of family size and IQ was conducted in the Netherlands. It was based on the examinations of more than 386,000 Dutchmen. Researchers found that the brightest subjects came from the smallest families and had few, if any, brothers and sisters when they were born. Thus the firstborn child in a family of two was usually brighter than the last child in a family.
The effects of family size on intelligence may be explained by what a house full of children does to the home environment. It increases the amount of time a child spends with other children and decreases the amount of parental attention he or she receives. For example, a parent with one restless child is likely to sit and play with the child. The same parent with two or three restless children is more likely to ask them to play with each other. Some psychologists say that when a child communicates with an adult alone, the child learns more and therefore intelligence is increased. Researchers have also found that parents often expect more from their firstborn, which motivates such children to seek a higher standard.
Not all psychologists agree that firstborns tend to be more intelligent. They say that the data need to be examined more closely for other possible explanations. For example, in industrialized nations most large families come from lower socio-economic backgrounds. Thus environment, not family size or birth order, may be influencing intelligence. On the other hand, there may be genetic variations(基因变异) within families that also explain the cause of differences.
If firstborns have advantages in the area of intelligence, research has also shown that they may be more conforming(顺从) and have poorer social skills than their younger siblings (兄弟姐妹). Although more research needs to be done in this area, it is clear that such factors as birth order, the order in which boys and girls are born into a family, the number of years that separate siblings probably have an effect on the development of intelligence, personality, and social relationships.
49. The underlined word "subjects" in the 1st paragraph means ________.
A. branches of knowledge
B. persons chosen to be studied in experiments

A. cleverer than his/her brother/sister B. no cleverer than his/her brother/sister
C. less clever than his/her brother/sister D. as clever as his/her brother/sister
51. Why are firstborns encouraged to seek a higher standard?
A. They are more likely to obey others.
B. Their parents spend less time with other children.
C. They obtain more attention from their parents.
D. Their parents expect more from them.
52. The best title for this passage would be ________.
A. Family Size and IQ B. Boys Cleverer Than Girls?
C. The Development of Intelligence D. Factors Influencing IQ

BALTIMORE – When 15-year-old Michael Thomas left home for school last May, he couldn’t have been prouder. On his feet, thanks to his mother’s hard work, were a pair of new Air Jordan’s $100 worth of leather, rubber and status(身份) that to today’s youth are the Mercedes-Benz of athletic footwear.
The next day it was James David Martin, 17, who was walking down the street in Thomas’ new sneakers, while Thomas lay dead in a field not far from his school. Martin was arrested for murder.
For the Baltimore school system, Thomas’ death was the last straw. He was the third youngster to have been killed over his clothes in five years. Dozens of others had been robbed of name brand sneakers, designer jogging suits, leather jackets and jewelry.
This fall, the school board announced a dress code (规定) preventing leather skirts and jackets, jogging suits, gold chains and other expensive items.
Clothes had just gotten out of hand, said board president Joseph Smith.
Across the nation, parents, school officials, psychologists and even some children agree.
They say that today’s youngsters, throughout the nation, have become clothes fixated(专注). They worry about them, compete over them, neglect(无视) school for them and sometimes even rob and kill for them.
In many cases, students are so concerned about what they and their classmates are wearing, they forget what they come to school for, educators said.
In response, many public school mainly in Eastern cities, have adopted school uniforms to cut down on competition.

In 1985, The Coca-Cola Company made what has been known as one of the biggest marketing mistakes. The Coca-Cola Company stumbled onto the new formula (配方) in efforts to produce diet Coke. They put forth 4 million dollars of research to come up with the new formula. The decision to change their formula and pull the old Coke off the market came about because taste tests showed a distinct preference for the new formula. It was a sweeter variation with less tang(浓味), it was also slightly smoother.
A large contribution to the change was that Coke’s market share fell 2.5% in four years. Each percentage point lost or gained meant 200 million dollars. A financial analyst said, “Coke’s market share fell from 24.3% in 1980 to 21.8% in 1984.” This was the first flavor change since the existence of the Coca-Cola Company.
The change was announced on April 23, 1985 at the Vivian Beaumont Theater at the Lincoln Center. Some two hundred TV and newspaper reporters attended this announcement. It included a question and answer session, a history of Coca-Cola, and many other elements.
The change to the world’s best selling soft drink was heard by 81% of the U.S. population within 24 hours.
Within a week of the change, one thousand calls a day were flooding the company’s eight hundred numbers. Most of the callers were shocked and angry and many said that they were considering switching to Pepsi. Within six weeks, the eight hundred numbers were being jammed by six thousand calls a day. The company also received over forty thousand letters.
57. The text mainly tells us about ___________.
A. different kinds of the diet Coke B. the Coca-Cola’s customer service
C. a change in the Coca-Cola’s products D. the study of a new diet Coke
58. The new formula ___________.
A. proved to be well accepted B. caused the Coke’s market share to fall
C. made a huge profit for the company D. pulled the old Coke off the market
59. People called Coca-Cola company mainly to _____.
A. express satisfaction B. order the new products
C. to make complaints D. to make suggestions
60. The underlined word “stumbled” might mean “__________”.
A. fell B. advertised C. announced D. improved
