Cloze TestPassage 1Have you ever heard the old saying, “Never judge a book by its cover”? This is a good rule to 1 when trying judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual 2 in creative writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl. He searches awkwardly for words and does not talk smoothly. But don‟t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. 3 a pen and paper, he can express himself very well.Other people may fool you into overestimating their intelligence by 4 a good appearance. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class bound to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it 5 to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.The 6 idea is that you can‟t judge someone by appearance. The only way to determine a person‟s intelligence is to get to know him.

Every day I worked hard and finally 12 in the sharp competition, and soon I became very wealthy and life was filled with various social activities; I went to expensive restaurants, or attended concerts and parties; life seemed perfect to me. However, soon I was bored, and deep in my mind, I felt lost. I couldn‟t 13 why, but only felt that something needed to be done. Great emptiness, sometimes fear, made me sick. In a scream I 14 to reality, remaining sleepless the rest of the night. I was puzzled why, in the dream, I couldn‟t continue my comfortable life, and what on earth I wanted 15 this. I couldn‟t help asking: “What do we live for?” At that moment I thought of my ideal of being a well-known scholar, rather than a successful businessman. 16 once I imagined one day I stood on the platform in a university classroom, lecturing to the earnest students. Their wholehearted applause made me extremely happy, for I had 17 my social value. This sense of fulfillment can 18 be replaced by money. After careful consideration, I was determined to 19 my major of literature, which I was fond of and 20 of realizing my ideal in it.11. A. on B. with C. from D. at12.

You should accept the card with a smile and at the same time 23 _yours.Nowadays, business cards have become more and more 24 in an introduction. They do not only contain the bearer‟s name, profession and title, but also the address, telephone number, postal code, e-mail address and other useful 25 _and personal data. To a foreign friend, we should remember to present a card 26__with an English version or the one written in English, because most English speakers don‟t have competence in reading Chinese.

Technology, the application of knowledge for practical ends, is a major source of social change.Yet we would do well to remind ourselves that technology is a human creation; it docs not exist naturally. A spear or a robot is as much a cultural as a physical object. Until humans use a spear to hunt game or a robot to produce machine parts, neither is much more than a solid mass of matt er. For a bird looking for an object on which to res t, a spear or robot serves the purpose equally well. The explosion of the Challenger space shuttle and the Russian nuclear accident at Chernobyl drive home the human quality of technology; they provide cases in which well planned systems suddenly went haywire and there was no ready hand to set them right・ Since technology is a human creation, we are responsible for what is done with it. Pessimists worry that we will use out technology eventually to blow our world and ourselves to pieces. But they have been saying this for decades, and so far we have managed to survive and even flourish. Whet her we will continue to do so in the years ahead remains uncertain. Clearly, the impact of technology on our lives deserves a closer examination.Few technological developments have had a greater impact on our lives than the computer revolution. Scientists and engineers have designed specialized machines that can do the tasks that once only people could do. There are those who assert that the switch to an information-based economy is in the same camp as other great historical milestones, particularly the industrial Revolution. Yet when we ask why the industrial Revolution was a revolution, we find that it was not the machines. The primary reason why it was revolutionary is that it led to great social change. It gave rise to mass production and, through mass production, to a society in which wealth was not confined to the few.In somewhat similar fashion, computers promise to revolutionize the structure of American life, particularly as they free the human mind and open new possibilities in knowledge and communication. The industrial Revolution suppiemented and replaced the muscles of humans and animals by mechanical methods. The computer extends this development to supplement and replace some aspects of the mind of human beings by electronic methods. It is the capacity of the computer for solving problems and making decisions that represents its greatest potential and that pees the greatest difficulties in predicting the impact on society.1.A spear or a robot has the quality of technology only when it ______ C _____ •A)is used both as a cultural and a physical objectB)serves different purposes equally wellC)is ut订ized by manD)can be of use to both man and animal2.The examples of the Challenger and Chernobyl cited by the author serveto show that ______ D ____ •A)if not given close examination, technology could be used to des troy our worldB)technology is a human creation, so we are responsible for itC)technology usually goes wrong, if not controlled by manD)being a human creation, technology is liable to error3.According to the author, the introduction of the computer is arevolution mainly because ________ D ____ •A)the computer has revolutionized the workings of the human mindB)the computer can do the tasks that could only be done by people beforeC)it has helped to switch to an information technologyD)it has a great potential impact on society4.By using the phrase "the human quality of technology” , the authorrefers to, the fact that technology ________ B ____ •A)has a great impact on human lifeB)has some characteristics of human natureC)can replace some aspects of the human mindD)does not exist in the natural world5.The passage is based on the author，s ________ A _____ •A)keen insight into the nature of technologyB)prejudiced criticism of the role of the industrial RevolutionC)cautious analysis of the replacement of the human mind by computersD)exaggerated description of the negative consequences of technologyPassage 2Imagine a world in which there was suddenly no emotion-a world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness, no terror or hate. Try to imagine the consequences of such a transformation. People might not be able to stay alive: knowing neither joy nor pleasure, anxiety nor fear, they would be as likely to repeat acts that hurt them as acts that were beneficial. They could not learn: they could not benefit from experience because this emotionless world would lack rewards and punishments> Society would soon disappear: people would be as likely to harm one another as to provide help and support. Human relationships would not exist: in a world without friends or enemies, there could be no marriage, affection among companions, or bonds among members of groups. Society，s economic underpinnings (支柱)would be destroyed: since earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $10, there would be no incentive to work. In fact, there would be no incentives of any kind. For as we will see, incentives imply a capacity to enjoy them.In such a world, the chances that the human species would survive are next to zero, because emotions are the basic instrument of our survival and adaptation. Emotions structure the world for us in important ways. As individuals, we categorize objects on the basis of our emotions. True we consider the length, shape, size, or texture, but an object' s physical aspects are less important than what it has done or can do to us 一hurt us, surprise us, anger us or make us joyful. We al so use categorizations colored by emotions in our families, communities, and overall society. Out of our emotional experiences with objects and events comes a social feeling of agreement that certain things and actions are good and others are bad, and we apply these categories to every aspect of our social life一from what foods we eat and what clothes we wear to how we keep promises and which people our group will accept. In fact, society exploits our emotional reactions and attitudes, such as loyalty morality, pride shame, guilt，fear and greed, in order to maintain itself It gives high rewards to individuals who perform important tasks such as surgery, makes heroes out of individuals for unusualor dangerous achievements such as flying fighter planes in a war, and uses the legal penal (刑法的)system to make people afraid to engage in antisocial acts.6.The reason why people might not be able to stay alive in a world withoutemotion is that _______ B ___ •A)they would not be able to tell the texture of objectsB)they would not know what was beneficial and what was harmful to themC)they would not be happy with a life without loveD)they would do things that hurt each other" s feelings7.According to the passage, people，s learning activities are possiblebecause they ______ C ____ •A)believe that emotions are fundamental for them to stay aliveB)benefit from providing help and support to one anotherC)enjoy being rewarded for doing the right thingD)know what is vital to the progress of society8.It can be inferred from the passage that the economic foundation ofsociety is dependent on _______ C ____ •A)the ability to make moneyB)the will to work for pleasureC)the capacity to enjoy incentivesD)the categorizations of our emotional experiences9.Emotions are significant for man， s survival and adaptation because____ B ____ .A)they provide the means by which people view the size or shape of objectsB)they are the basis for the social feeling of agreement by which society is maintainedC)they encourage people to perform dangerous achievementsD)they generate more love than hate among people10.The emotional aspects of an object are more important than its physical aspects in that they ________________________ A _____ .A)help society exploit its members for profitB)encourage us to perform important tasksC)help to perfect the legal and penal systemD)help us adapt our behavior to the world surrounding usPassage 3It is pretty much a one-way street. While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial world, there is very littletraffic in the opposite direction. Pay has always been the biggest deterrent, as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For some industrial scientists， however, the attractions of academia outweigh any financial considerations.Helen Lee took a 70% cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of thegreater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects of a commercial return, and Lee' s is one of them.The impact of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the early st ages of a career. Guy Gra nt, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a pharmaceutical (制药的) company before returning to university as a post-doctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities.Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scien ti sts with a we a 1th of experience in indus try is forcing universities to make the transition (转换)to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary tearn, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well placed to bring some thing extra to the t eaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development. "Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project. ”11.By "a one-way street v (Line 1, Para. 1), the author means_ c __ .A.university researchers know little about the commercial worldB.there is little exchange between industry and academiaC.few industrial scientists would quit to work in a universityD.few university professors are willing to do industrial research12.The word ^deterrent” (Line 2, Para. 1) most probably refers tosome thing tha t ___ A ____ •A.keeps someone from taking actionB. helps to move the trafficC.attracts people' s attentionD.brings someone a financial burden13.What was Helen Lee' s major consideration when she changed her job in the middle of her career?

Yet pleasure at your own can vanish if you learn that a colleague has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he has a reputation for slacking, you might even be outraged. Such behavior is regarded as "all too human” , with the underlying assumption that other animals would not be capable of this finely developed sense of grievance. But a study by Sarah Brosnan and Frans de Waal of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well.The researchers studied the behavior of female brown capuchin monkeys. They look cute. They are good~natured, co~operative creatures, and they share their food readily. Above all, like their female human counterparts, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of u goods and services” than males.Such characteristics make them perfect candidates for Dr. Brosnans and Dr. de Waal' s study> The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for slices of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate but adjoining chambers, so that each could observe what the other was getting inreturn for its rock, their behavior became markedly different・In the world of capuchins grapes are luxury goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was reluctant to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her to ken in exchange at all, the ot her eit her to ssed her own to ken at the researcher or out of the chamber, or refused to accep t the slice of cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other chamber (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to induce resentment in a female capuchin.The researches suggest that capuchin monkeys, like humans, are guided by social emotions. In the wild, they are a co-operative, group living species. Such co-operation is likely to be stable only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of righteous indignation, it seems, are not the preserve of people alone. Refusing a lesser reward completely makes these feelings abundantly clear to other members of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness evolved independently in capuchins and humans, or whether it stems form the common ancestor that the species had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.16.In the opening paragraph, the author introduces his topic by BA.posing a contrast.B. making a comparisonC. justifying an assumption.D. explaining a phenomenon17.The statement "it is all too monkey” (Last line, paragraph 1)implies that . BA.monkeys are also outraged by slack rivals.B.resenting unfairness is also monkeys' nature.C.monkeys, like humans, tend to be jealous of each other.D.no animals other than monkeys can develop such emotions.18.Female capuchin monkeys were chosen for the research most probably because they are •AA.more inclined to weigh what they get.B.attentive to researchersinstruetions.C.nice in both appearance and temperament.D.more generous than their male companions19.Dr. Brosnan and Dr. de Waal have eventually found in their study that the monkeys • CA.prefer grapes to cucumbers.B.can be taught to exchange things.C.will not be co-operative if feeling cheated.D.are unhappy when separated from others.20.What can we infer from the last paragraph? BA.Monkeys can be trained to develop social emotions.B.Human indignation evolved from an uncertain source.C.Animals usually show their feelings openly as humans do.D.Cooperation among monkeys remains stable only in the wild.Passage 5For hundreds of millions of years, turtles (海龟)have struggled out of the sea to lay their eggs on sandy beaches, long before there were nature documentaries to celebrate them, or GPS satellites and marine biologists to track them, or volunteers to hand-carry the hatchlings (幼龟)down to the water" s edge les t t hey become disorie nted by headlights and crawl to wards a motel parking lot instead. A formidable wall of bureaucracy has been erec ted to protect t heir prime nesting on the Atlantic coastlines. With all that attention paid to them, you' d think these creatures would at least have the gratitude not to go extinct.But Nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness, and a report by the Fish and Wildlife Service showed a worrisome drop in the populations of several species of North Atlantic turtles, notably loggerheads, which can grow to as much as 400 pounds. The South Florida nesting population, the largest, has declined by 50% in the last decade, according to Elizabeth Griffin, a marine biologist with the environmental group Oceana. The figures prompted Oceana to petition the government to upgrade the level of protection for the North Atlantic loggerheads from "threatened” to “endangered” 一meaning they are in danger of disappearing without additional help.Which raises the obvious question: what else do these turtles want from us, anyway? It turns out, according to Griffin, that while we have done a good job of protecting the turties for the weeks they spend on land (as egg-laying females, as eggs and as hatchlings), we have neglected the years spend in the ocean. "The threat is from commercial fishing, ” says Griffin. Trawlers (which drag large nets through the water and along the ocean floor) and long line fishers (which can deploy thousands of hooks on lines that can stretch for miles) take a heavy toll on turtles.Of course, like every other environmental issue today, this is playing out against the background of global warming and human interference with natural ecosystems. The narrow strips of beach on which the turtles lay their eggs are being squeezed on one side by development and on the other by the threat of rising sea levels as the oceans warm. Ultimately we must get a handle on those issues as well, or a creature that outlived the dinosaurs (恐龙)will meet its end at the hands of humans, leaving our descendants to wonder how creature so ugly could have won so much affection.6.We can learn from the first paragraph that _________ B ____ •A- human activities have changed the way turtles surviveB.efforts have been made to protect turties from dying outC- government bureaucracy has contributed to turtles‘ extinctionD.marine biologists are looking for the secret of turtles‘ reproduction7.What does the author mean by "Nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness w(Line 1, Para・ 2)? DA.Nature is quite fair regarding the survival of turtles.B・ Turtles are by nature indifferent to human activities.C.The course of nature will not be changed by human interference.D・ The turtie population has decreased in spite of human protection.8.What constitutes a major threat to the survival of turties according to Elizabeth Griffin? BA・ Their inadequate food supply. B. Unregulated commercial fishing.C.Their lower reproductively ability.D. Contamination of sea water9.How does global warming affect the survival of turtles? AA- It threatens the sandy beaches on which they lay eggs.B.The changing climate makes it difficult for their eggs to hatch.C- The rising sea levels make it harder for their hatchlings to grow.D.It takes them longer to adapt to the high beach temperature.10.The last sentence of the passage is meant to __________ C ____ •A- persuade human beings to show more affection for turtlesB.stress that even the most ugly species should be protectedC.call for effective measures to ensure sea turtles， survivalD.warn our descendants about the extinction of speciesPassage 7There are few more sobering online activities than entering data into college-tuition calculators and gasping as the Web spits back a six-figure sum. But economists say families about to go into debt to fund four years of partying, as well as studying, can console themselves with the knowledge that college is an investment that, unlike many bank stocks, should yield huge dividends.A 2008 study by two Harvard economists notes that the a labor-market premium toskill—or the amount college graduates earned that， s greater than what high-school graduate earned一decreased for much of the 20th century, but has come back with a vengeance (报复性地)since the 1980s. In 2005, The typical full-time year-round U. S.worker with a four-year college degree earned $50, 900, 62% more than the $31, 500 earned by a worker with only a high-school diploma.There' s no question that going to college is a smart economic choice. But a look at the st range varia ti ons in tuition reveals tha t the choice abo ut which college to at tend doesn，t come down merely to dollars and cen ts. Does going to Columbia University (tuition, room and board $49, 260 in 2007-08) yield a 40% greater return than attending the University of Colorado at Boulder as an out-of-state student ($35, 542)? Probably not. Does being an out-of-state studentat the University of Colorado at Boulder yield twice the amount of income as being an in-state student ($17,380) there? Not likely.No, in this consumerist age, most buyers aren^ t evaluating college as an investment, but rat her as a consumer product—like a car or clot hes or a house. And with such purchases, price is only one of many crucial factors to consider.As with automobiles, consumers in today， s college marketplace have vast choices, and people search for the one that gives them the most comfort and satisfaction in line with their budgets. This accounts for the willingness of people to pay more for different types of experiences (such as attending a private liberal-arts college or going to an out-of-state public school that has a great marine-biology program). And just as two auto purchasers might spend an equal amount of money on very different cars, college students (or, more accurately, their parents) often show a willingness to pay essentially the same price for vastly different products. So which is it? Is college an investment product like a stock or a consumer product like a car? In keeping with the automotive world' s hottest consumer trend, maybe it， s best to characterize it as a hybrid (混合动力汽车)；an expensive consumer product that, over time, will pay rich dividends.11.What， s the opinion of economists about going to college? DA・ Huge amounts of money is being wasted on campus socializing.B> It doesn，t pay to run into debt to receive a college education.C.College education is rewarding in spite of the startling costs.D.Going to college doesn， t necessarily bring the expected returns.12.The two Harvard economists note in their study that, for much of the20th century, ____ D _____ .A • enrollment kept decreasing in virtually all American colleges and universitiesB.the labor market preferred high-school to college graduatespetition for university admissions was far more fierce than todayD.the gap between the earnings of college and high-school graduates narrowed13.Students who attend an ins tate college or university can _______________ A_.A. save more on tuition B・ receive a better educationC> take more liberal-arts courses D・ avoid traveling long distances14.In this consumerist age, most parents __________ D ____ .A・ regard college education as a wise investmentB> place a premium on the prestige of the CollegeC.think it crucial to send their children to collegeD.consider college education a consumer product15.What is the chief consideration when students choose a college today? BA・ Their employment prospects after graduation.B> A satisfying experience within their budgets.C.Its facilities and learning environment.D.Its ranking among similar institutions.。
