Part II Transitions (10%)

Directions: Read the following passages and choose an appropriate transition word or phrase in the numbered blanks. Mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. (1 x 10=10)

Passage one:

Thirty years ago, most teenagers had bicycles, but now they are comparatively rare, and even those boys and girls who have them do not use them as often. On the contrary, motor scooters are much more common. 31 , this may seem a sign of progress but in fact the change is not necessarily for the better. It is easy to see why young people prefer scooters. At first, they are much faster and do not require much physical effort; 32 , you can take a passenger with you on the pillion seat behind; above all, they give young people a feeling of independence, because they can travel further and impress their friends. 33 , the disadvantages are equally obvious. To begin with, scooters are more expensive to buy and to maintain, and meanwhile those under 16 are not allowed to have them. 34 , greater freedom brings danger because speed encourages young people to take risks and as a result scooters are involved in more accidents, and the accidents are 35 more serious.

31. a. At first sight b. In the beginning c. In the first place

32. a. also b. as well c. secondly

33. a. Although b. However c. In spite

34. a. Apart from that b. As a result c. On the other hand

35. a. as well b. generally c. however

Passage two:

A Robot is a mechanical device, so it can perform boring, dangerous, and difficult tasks. First of all, robots can perform repetitive tasks without becoming tired or bored;

36 , they are used in automobile factories to weld and paint. Second, robots can also function in hostile environments; 37 , they are useful for exploring and the ocean bottom as well as deep outer space. Finally, robots can perform tasks

requiring pinpoint accuracy. In the operating room, robotic equipment can assist the surgeon. For instance, a robot can kill a brain tumor; 38 , it can operate on a fetus with great precision.

The field of artificial intelligence is giving robots a limited ability to think and to make decisions. However, robots cannot think conceptually, 39 they cannot function independently. Humans have to program them; 40 , they are useless. Therefore, humans should not worry that robots will take over the world—at least not yet.

36. a. therefore b. however c. furthermore

37. a. moreover b. hence c. also

38. a. also b. consequently c. nevertheless

39. a. for example b. at last c. and

40. a. thus b. otherwise c. in addition

Part III Reading for Better Writing (20%)

Passage one: (2 x 5 = 10)

Directions:The following sentences are numbered from A to I in a random order. Using what you have learned about the organization of body paragraphs, choose the best answer of each of the questions followed, then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.

A. Getting your thoughts down on paper is not the final stage of writing a good

paragraph or essay.

B. There remains the rewriting of the first draft so as to shape your idea into a

carefully style composition.

C. Finally, for smoothness and balance, changes are made between sentences or

paragraphs.

D. A different word may be substituted for the original word because it is easier to

understand, is more colorful, gives a more precise meaning, or provides variety.

E. Ordinarily, editing involves changes at three points: in individual words, within

sentences, and between sentences.

F. At the sentence level, phrases may be put in different order, structures of

modification revised, different verb structures selected, or the length of phrases or whole sentences may be altered.

G. At the word level, spelling and capitalization are checked, but more creatively,

words are often changed.

H. Such changes, designed to clarify relationships between ideas, are often

accomplished by punctuating more adequately, by introducing more effective transitional devices, or by restating or removing awkward phrases and sentences.

I. Editing then—the self-conscious appraisal and revision of your own work—

usually makes the difference between a merely acceptable and a truly superior piece of writing.

41. Which is the topic sentence?

a. I

b. E

c. H

d. G

Passage two:

Directions:You are going to read a list of headings and a text about new crimes. Choose the most suitable heading from the list a-d for each numbered paragraph 46-49 and complete 50. The first and last paragraphs of the text are not numbered. Mark your answers on the answer sheet. (2 x 5 = 10)

[a] Computer vulnerability has been amply documented.

[b] Theft of data has attracted the interest of organized criminal syndicated.

[c] Politically motivated sabotage is on the increase.

[d] What a competitor sabotages is a company’s computer system.

New and bizarre crimes have come into being with the advent of computer technology. Organized crime too has been directly involved; the new technology offers it unlimited opportunities, such as data crimes, theft of services, property-related crimes, industrial sabotage, politically related sabotage, vandalism, crimes against the individual and financially related crimes…

______46_______. This is usually the theft or copying of valuable computer program. An international market already exists for computerized data, and specialized fences are said to be playing a key role in this rapidly expanding criminal market. Buyers for stolen programs may range from a firm’s competitors to foreign nations.

______47_______. This computer sabotage may also be tied to an attempt by affluent investors to acquire the victim firm. With the growing reliance by firms on computers for their recordkeeping and daily operations, sabotage of their computers can result in internal havoc, after which the group interested in acquiring the firm can easily but it at a substantially lower price. Criminal groups could also resort to sabotage if the company is a competitor of a business owned or controlled by organized crime.

______48_______. Sophisticated computer technology arms these groups with awesome powers and opens technological advanced nations to their attack. Several attempts have already been made to destroy computer facility at an air force base. A university computer facility involved in national defense work suffered more than $ 2

million in damages as a result of a bombing.

______49_______. One congressional study concluded that neither government nor private computer systems are adequately protected against sabotage. Organized criminal syndicates have shown their willingness to work with politically motivated groups. Investigators have uncovered evidence of cooperation between criminal groups and foreign governments in narcotics. Criminal groups have taken attempts in assassinating political leaders… Computers are used in hospital life-support system, in laboratories, and in major surgery. Criminals could easily turn these computers into tools of devastation. By sabotaging the computer of a life-support system, criminals could kill an individual as easily as they had used a gun. By manipulating a computer, they could guide awesome tools of terror against large urban centers. Cities and nations could become hostages.

The computer opens areas of crime to organize criminal groups. It calls on them to pool their resources and increase their cooperative efforts, because many of these crimes are too complex for one group to handle, especially those requiring a vast network of fences. Although criminals have adapted to computer technology, law enforcement has not. Many still think in terms of traditional criminology.

50.According to the passage, which statement is not true? __________

a.The computer technology offers organized crime limited opportunities.

https://www.doczj.com/doc/0917883845.html,ernment and private computer systems are not adequately protected

against sabotage.

c.Buyers for stolen data are not only a firm’s competitors.

d.Relevant laws have not adapted to the new crimes.

Unit 1 Education: A Transformation of the Soul 1On my first day of high school, my teacher showed the class a Power Point presentation entitled The Value of Education. The first slide read simply this: ―Education = $‖. I felt uncomfortable, not knowing exactly why. 2 Education, throughout my high school experience, continued to be described to me like this: college means a diploma. A diploma means a better job. A better job means more money. More money means a good life. But I wondered who had decided the criteria for a ―better‖ job and a ―good‖ life. It all seemed so mathematical. Education was presented to me as an equation equaling a person I had not chosen to be. 重点单词的句子翻译: 1.她读了一首题为《想起你》的诗。(entitle) 2.他给这本书取名为《野性的爱》。(entitle) 3.教育的关键在于激励和享受,而不是一所学校或一个大学文凭。(diploma) 4.那青年用了3 年的时间取得研究生文凭。(diploma) 5.我自己成功的标准是能够努力工作和快乐生活。(criteria) 3 I went on to college, of course, as everyone told me to do. College is how you become an earner, they told me. My major that first semester was International Relations. I liked the woman I envisioned myself as in this field – a diplomat, a savvy citizen of the world. But gradually I began to realize that this person was not someone I bore any resemblance to. She was, rather, a clone of the well-educated, well-moneyed ideal my teacher had presented to me years ago. This woman had earning potential; she was smart and worldly. But she was not someone I would become. She had nothing I really wanted.

Is It Better to Buy or Rent? The price of housing has kept increasing in recent years, which causes a big headache for people living in cities. A lot of people cannot afford to own a real estate property, so they choose to rent instead of buying an apartment. This group of people does not want to bear burden of mortgage so that they opt for a practical solution. Renting an apartment makes them have a place to stay and thus they can focus on work as well as personal life. Some other people, however, believe that an apartment owned by themselves makes them feel safe and relieved, so they are willing to sacrifice some other aspects of life to borrow money from the bank to buy an apartment. As far as I am concerned, to buy or to rent is all about it will be better to rent first and wait for the good timing when the price is going down to buy. Topic 2: On Job Hopping It seems that nowadays, very few young people are willing to stay in a job position for long, let alone for the whole life. They change jobs constantly. This results from several factors. Firstly, young people like fresh things, and it is easy for them to be fed up with old routine work. So when they stay in a position for a while,the excitement will fade out. They are quite realistic and not willing to waste time in a job they are not interested in. Thirdly, some young people are not satisfied with current salary, believing they deserve better pay. In my opinion, constant job hopping will not benefit young people in their career development. Every job has its own merits and young people can certainly learn something from it as long as they are patient and wise enough. Every job experience is valuable down the career path and young people shall be able to make the most of it. Topic 3: Online Social Network Modern people will be no stranger to online social network. Facebook, Renren and Kaixin001 are probably the most populous networks among Chinese netizen. In these networks, people interact with each other, be it a stranger or a friend, and have a lot of fun in the virtual world. This phenomenon could be a result of the fast development of the Internet and people's great interest of the virtual world. I think it is a very good new platform for people to keep in touch. But it should not be overused. Firstly, some people are addicted to it, which makes them want to get online 24 hours a day. When people spend too much time on one thing,they will naturally have not enough time for study and for work. Secondly, online social network change people's behavior of interacting with others. In virtual world, you just click the mouse and type in words instead of having a face-to-face talk. This will not benefit people's long term friendship, and even harm their interpersonal relationships in real world.
