     The art experts who work at the gallery say they used modern chemistry technology to 30 the paint on the picture. These checks found traces(痕迹) of paint deep in the picture 31 about 1814.
     Shakespeare 32 in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609.
     “We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840. This was 33 there was a new interest in Shakespeare’s 34 ,” Tanya Cooper, the gallery’s 16th century curator(馆长) said.
     The 35 picture has often been used as a cover for 36 of his plays. It is called the “Flower portrait” because one of its 37, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare Company.
     “There have always been 38 about the authenticity(真实性) of the painting,” said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company.
     “Now we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture(画像技法),” he said.
     Two other images of Shakespeare are also being studied as part of the investigation and the results will 39 later in May. But for now what Shakespeare really looked like will remain a 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)

    A
     ABC News anchor (节目主持人) Peter Jennings died on Aug.7, 2005 at home in New York after a brief battle with lung cancer. ABC News anchors said they hope if anything good can be taken from Jennings’ death, it is a great awareness of the dangers of smoking.
     “I want to give a message,” Barbara Walters said. “If you have kids who are smoking, tell them that we lost Peter.”
     Lung cancer is the worst killer in America, taking more lives each year than any other cancer, according to the America Cancer Society. About 160,440 Americans die each year of cancer, making up 28 percent of all cancer deaths. More than 87 percent of lung cancers are smoking related.
     Dr. Derek Raghavan, director of the Cleveland Clinic’s Taussing Cancer Center, said that once a person stops smoking, he starts getting better. Three to five years after quitting, the possibility of getting lung cancer is reduced by half.
     Warning signs of lung cancer can also be mixed with symptoms connected with long-term smoking. The three main warning signs are an increase of coughing that doesn’t clear up, coughing up blood and sharp chest pains.
     People with those symptoms should see a doctor. Raghavan said there have been promising developments in the treatment of lung cancer, including uses of radiation and surgery and drugs. “But the fact is that stopping smoking is the most important thing we can do,” Raghavan said. “There is no treatment that even comes close.”
    41. Anchor Peter Jennings died of lung cancer which was possibly caused by _____.
     A. his bad eating habit B. overmuch work C. long-term smoking D. the old age
    42. The first paragraph mentioned Peter Jennings’ death in order to _____.
     A. make him the main character of the passage.
     B. warn the smokers of the danger of smoking
     C. introduce the topic to be talked about
     D. make him better-known than before
    43. The underlined word “quitting” in the fourth paragraph probably refers to _____.
     A. doing more exercise  B. giving up smoking
     C. getting over lung cancer D. staying in hospital
    44. To fight against lung cancer, what matters much to smokers is _____.
     A. to receive the treatment of lung cancer B. to do exercise regularly
     C. to see a doctor in time D. to stop smoking
    B
     Comets(彗星)orbiting a distant star have been found to contain water, the first time the ingredient(成份) considered key to life has been discovered in objects circling a star other than our sun.
     The discovery, announced by scientists, adds weight to the theory that other planetary(行星的)systems may be necessary to the formation of life as we know it.
     Scientists have no way of knowing whether life ever existed on any comets or planets orbiting this particular star, known as CW Leonis and located some 3,000 trillion miles (4,800 trillion kilometers) from Earth in the constellation Leo(狮子座).
     But they are certain that no life could exist there now. That is because as it burns out the last of its nuclear fuel, the star has swelled(膨胀) and increased in luminosity(发光度), engulfing(吞没) nearby objects and melting comets in orbits as distant as Neptune is from the sun—releasing the water that astronomers spotted using a radio telescope in out space.
     “ The existence of these bodies is measured through their destruction(毁灭)” said Gary Melnick, chief scientist on the project and an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
     Mr. Melnick said the discovery was of particular importance because if there was a reservoir of water farther from the star, there could have been water closer to the star, bolstering the ideas that life may have existed outside our solar system. Comets are believed to have helped build life on Earth, Mr. Melnick and other scientists said. Besides bringing water to the oceans, they are also thought to have transported important chemicals as they went through Earth’s atmosphere in past eons(远古时代).
     “Comets are some of the smaller bodies in the solar system and form the seeds of planets themselves,” said Saavik Ford, a graduate student at Johns Hopkins University who first suggested that the water may have come from evaporating(蒸发的) comets. “The fact that we found water is interesting because it is necessary for the formation of life.
    45. According to the passage which of the following statements is NOT true?
     A. No life ever existed on any comets or planets orbiting CW Leonis.
     B. Neptune is a planet which orbits the sun.
     C. Water has been found beyond our solar system.
     D. CW Leonis belongs to constellation Leo.
    46. The underlined word “bolstering” in paragraph 6 means _____.
     A. objecting   B. inferring   C. denying   D. supporting
    47. What would be the best title for the text?
     A. Water is necessary for life. B. Water found in comets.
     C. New discovery in space D. Comets and stars.
    48. We can infer from the passage _____.
     A. All the chemicals on Earth were from comets.
     B. There couldn’t be life on Earth without comets orbiting a distant star.
     C. The earth probably came into being from a comet.
     D. Scientists are trying to find water on CW Leonis.
    C
     For those who have lonely nights and have trouble falling asleep, he is proving the ideal partner. This is a man who does not snore (打鼾) in bed. And he is happy to wrap a comforting arm around his dearest until morning arrives.
     He does exist. He is the body-shaped pillow, the latest sleeping aid from Japan.
     This pillow comes without a head and is filled with foam. It’s made by Kameo and has a “body” and a flexible arm that can be curled around its owner.
     About 1,000 of the pillows have been sold since they went on sale in Japan last year and many buyers say they are pleased with their sleeping companion.
     “This pillow makes me feel relaxed because I can hold the arm and feel something warm at my side,” said 34-year-old radio DJ Junko Suzuki.
     But according to Kameo, the pillow is more than just an emotional help for those tired of spending the night alone. And it is shaped, the firm says, to support its partner on both sides to ensure a night of good sleep.
     The idea is to curl up in between the body and the flexible arm. The head just rests on the pillow’s “arm muscles”.
     “My grandmother used to say that there is no more comfortable pillow than another person,” said the firm president, Tomoki Kakehashi. “So I thought that maybe people would want to sleep on a pillow shaped like an arm.”
     The pillows, on sale only in Japan for the moment, cost 8,500 yen(around US$80) each and come with shirt-or shirt-shaped pillow covers in blue, pink or green.
    49. Which of the following statements isn’t mentioned in the text?
       A. Many buyers are satisfied with the body-shaped pillow.
       B. The pillows are sold only in Japan at present.
       C. The inventor decided to develop new market in the US.
       D. The idea of body-shaped pillow is from what an old lady said.
    50. The underlined word in paragraph 6 “Kameo” may be the name of _____.
     A. a manager B. the firm C. a buyer D. another radio DJ
    51. The purpose of the passage seems_____.
     A. to introduce the latest sleeping aid, the body-shaped pillow
     B. to advise people to use the body-shaped pillow
     C. to tell how the body-shaped pillow is invented
     D. to tell how the body-shaped pillow works
    52. The body-shaped pillow is popular with users because _____.
        a. users can fall asleep easily using the pillow
        b. buyers can afford the pillow
        c. the pillow ensure a night of good sleep
        d. the pillow can provide an emotional help
     A. a; b; c    B. b; c; d    C. a; c; d    D. a; b; d
    D
     For many years, I was convinced(使相信) that my suffering was due to my size. I believed that when the weight disappeared, it would take old wounds, hurts, and rejections with it.
     Many weight-conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cherished. We fantasize about what it will be like when we reach the long-awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
     But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self-worth, and, of course, love.
     It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us strive hard to change our body, but in vain(徒劳地). We have to find a way to live comfortably inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.
    53. The passage tries to highlight(强调) the importance of _____.
     A. body size  B. attitudes toward life 
     C. culture difference  D. different beauty standards
    54. The word “everything” in paragraph 2 means _____.
     A. all the problems B. all the possessions C. the whole world D. the absolute truth
    55. What can be inferred about the author?
     A. The author is a Samoan.
     B. The author succeeded in losing weight.
     C. The author has been troubled by her /his weight.
     D. The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents.
    56. According to the author, what is the common view of those who have lost some weight first
     and gained it back later?
     A. They feel angry about the regained weight.
     B. They pay little attention to the regained weight.
     C. They feel optimistic about future plans on weight control.
     D. They think they should give up their future plans on weight control.

    Daily Telegraph bestseller for last week
    A Special Relationship
     This novel is about a woman whose entire life is turned upside down in a very foreign place despite the fact that people there speak her language. Sally Goodchild is a 37-year-old American who, after nearly two decades as a highly independent journalist, finds herself pregnant (怀孕的) and in London. She married an English foreign correspondent, Tony Thompson, whom she met while they were both on assignment in Cairo. From the outset, Sally’s relationship with both Tony and London is an uneasy one: She finds her husband and his city to be far more foreign than imagined. But her adjustment problems soon turn into a nightmare(噩梦). She discovers that everything can be taken down and used against you, especially by a spouse (配偶) who now considers you an unfit mother and wants to prevent you from ever seeing your child again.
     Born in 1955, Douglas Kennedy is the bestselling author of romances such as “The Big Picture”. He is also the author of several praised travel books.
    New York Times bestseller for last week
    White Hot
       Sayre Lynch decided never to return to her hometown Destiny, after she changed her last name and finally escaped from the influence of her controlling father, Huff Hoyle, who owns the iron foundry that the town is built around.

    One possible version:
     Li Hua is a primary school student and he enjoys drawing very much.
     One day, he went to the small woods not far from town to draw from nature, carrying a drawing board. He was glad to find a tree living although the rest had been cut down. “Let me start work at once,” he thought and began to set up his board.
     Just then a strong young man came with a big axe and got down to cutting the tree. Soon he cut it down and pulled it away.
     When Li Hua got ready and turned back to draw, he found the tree had disappeared.
     “Dear me! Where on earth is the tree?” Li Hua wondered, very disappointedly.
