Part I Reading Comprehension (60 marks, 60 minutes) Section A (每小题2分)
Directions:There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet. (40 marks) Passage One
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:
In an essay entitled Making It in America, the author Adam Davidson tells a joke from cotton country about just how much a modern textile factory has been automated: The average factory has only two employees today, “A man and a dog. The man is there to feed the dog, and the dog is there to keep the man away from the machines.”
Davidson’s article is one of a number of pieces making the point that the reason of such high unemployment and declining middle-class incomes today is largely because of the advances in information technology revolution, which is more rapidly than ever replacing labor with machines.
In the past, workers with average skills could earn an average lifestyle. But, today, average is officially over. Being average just won’t earn you what it used to. It can’t when so many more employers have more access to more above average cheap foreign labor, cheap robotics. Therefore, everyone needs to find their extra-their unique value contribution that makes them stand out in their field of employment.
Yes, new technology has been eating jobs forever, and always will. But there’s been an speeding-up. As Davidson notes,“In the 10 years ending in 2009, U.S. factories shed workers so fast that they got rid of almost all the gains of the previous 70 years; about 6 million manufacturing
jobs in total disappeared.”
There will always be change – new jobs, new products. But the one thing we know for sure is that with each advance in I.T. revolution, the best jobs will require workers to have more and better education to make themselves above average.
In a world where average is officially over, there are many things we need to do to support employment, but nothing would be more important than passing some kind of G. I. Bill for the 21st century that ensures that every American has access to post-high school education.
1.The joke in Paragraph 1 is used to illustrate _______.
A. the impact of technological advances
B. the relaxation of job pressure
C. the cut of textile mills
D. the decline of middle-class incomes
2.According to Paragraph 3, to be a successful employee, one has to ______.
A. work on cheap robots
B. ask for a moderate salary
C. adopt an average lifestyle
D. contribute something unique
3.What Davidson points in Paragraph 4 explains that ______.
A. gains of technology have been gone
B. job opportunities are disappearing at a high speed
C. factories are making much less money than before
D. new jobs and services have always been offered
4.According to the author, to reduce unemployment, the most important is ______.
A. to speed up the I.T. revolution
B. to ensure more education for people
C. to advance economic globalization
D. to pass more bills in the 21st century
5.Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?
A. New Law Takes Effect
B. Technology Goes Cheap
C. Average Is Over
D. Economic Development Is Worse
Passage Two
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:
A century ago, the immigrants from across the Atlantic included settlers and sojourners. Along with the many folks looking to make a permanent home in the United States came those who had no intention to stay, and who would make some money and then go home. About a quarter of all Italian immigrants, for example, eventually returned to Italy for good. They even had a lovely nickname, “birds of passage”.
Today, we are much stricter about immigrants. We divide newcomers into two categories: legal or illegal, good or bad. That framework has contributed strongly to our broken immigration system and the long political paralysis over how to fix it. We don’t need more categories, but we need to change the way we think about categories. We need to look beyond strict definitions of legal and illegal. To start, we can recognize the new birds of passage.
Crop pickers, violinists, construction workers, engineers, home health-care aides and physicists
are among today’s birds of passage. They are energetic participants in a global economy driven by the flow of work, money and ideas. They prefer to come and go as opportunity calls them. They can manage to have a job in one place and a family in another.
With or without permission, they straddle (跨越) laws and identities with ease. We need them to imagine the United States as a place where they can be productive for a while without committing themselves to staying forever. We need them to feel that they can belong to two nations honorably. Accommodating this new world of people in motion will require new attitudes on both sides of the immigration battle. Looking beyond the culture war logic of right or wrong means opening up the middle ground and understanding that managing immigration today requires multiple paths, including some that are not easy to accomplish legally in the existing system.
6.In the first paragraph, “birds of passage” refer to those who ______.
A. immigrate across the Atlantic
B. leave their home countries for good
C. stay in a foreign country for a short term
D. find permanent jobs overseas
7.It is implied in paragraph 2 that the current immigration system in the US ______.
A. needs new immigrant categories
B. has loosened control over immigrants
C. should be adjusted to meet challenges
D. has been fixed by political means
8.According to the author, today’s birds of passage love ______.
A. financial motivation
B. a global recognition
C. opportunities to get regular jobs
D. the freedom to stay and leave
9.The author suggests that the birds of passage today should be treated ______.
A. as faithful partners
B. with economic favors
C. with legal tolerance
D. as powerful matches
10.The most appropriate title for this passage would be ______.
A. Come and Go: Big Mistake
B. Living and Thriving: Great Risk
C. With or Without: Great Risk
D. Legal or Illegal: Big Mistake
Passage Three
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
Snap decisions can be important defense mechanisms; if we are judging whether someone is dangerous, our brains and bodies are hard-wired to react very quickly, within milliseconds (毫秒). But we need more time to assess other factors. To accurately tell whether someone is friendly, studies show, we need at least a minute, preferably five. It takes a while to judge complex aspects of personality, like neuroticism (神经过敏) or open-mindedness.
But snap decisions in reaction to rapid stimuli (刺激物) aren’t exclusive to the interpersonal domain. Psychologists found that viewing a fast-food logo for just a few milliseconds prepares us to read 20 percent faster, even though reading has little to do with eating. We unconsciously associate (联想) fast food with speed and impatience and carry those impulses (冲动) into whatever else we’re doing.
Yet we can turn around such influences. If we know we will overreact to consumer products or housing options when we see a happy face (one reason good sales representatives and real estate agents are always smiling), we can take a moment before buying.
John Gottman, the marriage expert, explains that we quickly “thin slice” information reliably only after we ground such snap reactions in “thick sliced” long-term study. When Dr. Gottman really wants to assess whether a couple will stay together, he invites them to his island retreat for a much longer evaluation: two days, not two seconds.
Our ability to decline our hard-wired reactions by pausing is what distinguishes us from animals: dogs can think about the future only occasionally or for a few minutes. But historically we have spent about 12 percent of our days thinking the longer term. Although technology might change the way we react, it hasn’t changed our nature. We still have the imaginative capacity to rise above temptation and reverse the high-speed trend.
11.The time needed in making decisions may ______.
A. differ according to the urgency of the situation
B. prove the complexity of our brain reaction
C. depend solely on the importance of the assessment
D. pre-determine the accuracy of our judgment
12.Our reaction to a fast-food logo shows that snap decisions ______.
A. can be associative
B. are not unconscious
C. can be dangerous
D. are not hasty
13.To turn around the negative influences of snap decisions, we should ______.
A. trust our first impression
B. do as people usually do
C. think before we act
D. ask for expert advice
14.John Gottman says that reliable snap reactions are based on ______.
A. critical assessment
B. ‘‘thin sliced’’ study
C. sensible explanation
D. adequate information
15.The author’s attitude toward reversing the high-speed trend is ______.
A. Tolerant
B. uncertain
C. optimistic
D. doubtful
Passage Four
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
It is said that in England death is pressing, in Canada inevitable and in California optional. Small wonder. Americans’ life expectancy has nearly doubled over the past century. Failing hips can be replaced, clinical depression controlled, cataracts removed in a 30-minute surgical procedure. Such advances offer the aging population a quality of life that was unimaginable when I entered medicine 50 years ago. But not even a great health-care system can cure death—and our failure to confront that reality now threatens this greatness of ours.
Death is normal; we are genetically programmed to disintegrate and perish, even under ideal
conditions. We all understand that at some level, yet as medical consumers we treat death as a problem to be solved. Shielded by third-party payers from the cost of our care, we demand everything that can possibly be done for us, even if it's useless. The most obvious example is late-stage cancer care. Physicians—frustrated by their inability to cure the disease and fearing loss of hope in the patient—too often offer aggressive treatment far beyond what is scientifically justified.
In 1950, the U.S. spent $12.7 billion on health care. In 2002, the cost will be $1,540 billion. Anyone can see this trend is unsustainable. Yet few seem willing to try to reverse it. Some scholars conclude that a government with finite resources should simply stop paying for medical care that sustains life beyond a certain age—say 83 or so. Former Colorado governor Richard Lamm has been quoted as saying that the old and infirm “have a duty to die and get out of the way ” so that younger, healthier people can realize their potential.
I would not go that far. Energetic people now routinely work through their 60s and beyond, and remain dazzlingly productive. At 78, Viacom chairman Sumner Redstone jokingly claims to be 53. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor is in her 70s, and former surgeon general C. Everett Koop chairs an Internet start-up in his 80s.These leaders are living proof that prevention works and that we can manage the health problems that come naturally with age. As a mere 68-year-old, I wish to age as productively as they have.
Yet there are limits to what a society can spend in this pursuit. Ask a physician, I know the most costly and dramatic measures may be ineffective and painful. I also know that people in Japan and Sweden, countries that spend far less on medical care, have achieved longer, healthier lives than we have. As a nation, we may be overfunding the quest for unlikely cures while underfunding research on humbler therapies that could improve people's lives.
16.What is implied in the first sentence?
A. Americans are better prepared for death than other people.
B. Americans enjoy a higher life quality than ever before.
C. Americans are over-confident of their medical technology.
D. Americans take a vain pride in their long life expectancy.
17.The author uses the example of cancer patients to show that ______.
A. medical resources are often wasted
B. doctors are helpless against fatal diseases
C. some treatments are too aggressive
D. medical costs are becoming unaffordable
18.The author's attitude to ward Richard Lamm's remark is one of ______.
A. strong disapproval
B. reserved consent
C. slight contempt
D. enthusiastic support
19.In contrast to the U.S. ,Japan and Sweden are funding their medical care______.
A. more flexibly
B. more extravagantly
C. more cautiously
D. more reasonably
20.The text intends to express the idea that______.
A. medicine will further prolong people's lives
B. life beyond a certain limit is not worth living
C. death should be accepted as a fact of life
D. excessive demands increase the cost of health care

Before Moko the dolphin turned up, the beached whales were in clear distress. But when Moko arrived at Mahia beach on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island, their mood changed and they 26 him to safety.
The ability of some animals to communicate is well known. What’s less well documented, 27 , is the communication between species. Justin Gregg, vice president of the Dolphin Communication Project, said it is 28 that a dolphin and a whale could communicate in some way. “But it wouldn’t be instructions 29 ‘Hey, buddy, the open ocean is over here. Follow me.”
Dolphins use three forms of 30 to other dolphins-whistles, clicking and postures. A whale might have signals in 31 with a dolphin, just as different species of dolphins are known to share signals which might theoretically 32 a form of basic inter-species communication.
There are many reasons why different species communicate, says Vincent Janik, lecturer at the Sea Mammal Research Unit at St Andrew’s University. “The animals 33 the systems of others 34 their own benefits. Sometimes the benefits are the same for each, 35 they share information. Sometimes they are trying to take advantage of the other.

Given the advantages of electronic money, you might think that we would move quickly to the cashless society where all payments are made electronically. 36 , a true cashless society is probably not around the 37 . Indeed, predictions have been 38 for two decades but have 39 come to reality. 40 , Business Week predicted in 1975 41 electronic payment would soon “revolutionize the 42 concept of money itself,” only to reverse itself several years 43 . Why has the movement to a cashless society been so 44 in coming?
Although electronic payment may be more 45 than a payment system based on paper, several factors work 46 the disappearance of the paper system. First, it is very 47 to set up the computer, card reader, and networks necessary to make electronic money the 48 form of payment. Second, paper checks have the advantage that they 49 receipts (收据), something that
many consumers are unwilling to 50 . Third, electronic payment may 51 security concerns. We often hear media reports that a hacker (黑客) has been able to 52 a computer database and to alter information 53 there, which means that dishonest persons could access bank accounts in electronic payments systems and 54 from others accounts. And the prevention of this 55 is no easy task.

Section B Short Answer Questions (每小题2分）
Directions:In this part there is a short passage followed by five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet. (10 marks)
Americans usually consider themselves a friendly people. Their friendships, however, tend to be shorter and more casual than friendships among people from other cultures. It is not uncommon for Americans to have only one close friend during their lifetime, and consider other “friends” to be just social acquaintances. This attitude probably has something to do with American mobility and the fact that Americans do not like to be dependent on other people. They tend to “compartmentalize” (划分) friendships, having “friends at work”, “friends on the softball team”, “family friends”, etc.
Because the United States is a highly active society, full of movement and change, people always seem to be on the go. In this highly charged atmosphere, Americans can sometimes seem brusque (无礼的) or impatient. They want to get to know you as quickly as possible and then move on to something else. Sometimes, early on, they will ask you questions that you may feel are very personal. No insult is intended; the questions usually grow out of their genuine interest or curiosity, and their impatience to get to the heart of the matter. And Americans are usually eager to explain all about their country or anything “American”. So much so in fact that you may become tired of listening. It doesn’t matter, because Americans tend to be uncomfortable with silence during a conversation. They would rather talk about the weather or the latest sports scores, for example, than deal with silence.
On the other hand, don’t expect Americans to be knowledgeable about international geography or world affairs, unless those subjects directly involve the United States. Because the United States is not surrounded by many other nations, some Americans tend to ignore the rest of the world.
56.The Americans’ attitude towards friendship probably results from their ______.
57.What will Americans do once they get to know you?
58.What do Americans dislike in a conversation?
59.Due to their country’s geographic location, Americans tend to neglect ______.
60.The general topic of this passage is about Americans’ ______.

Section B From English to Chinese
Directions: Translate into Chinese the underlined sentences in the following passage. Write your translation on Answer Sheet. (15 marks)
66) For a long time, the American workforce has been becoming increasingly specialized, which means that an increasing amount of education and preparation is required for many careers.
A high school diploma was once a guarantee of a person's ability to handle most job skills, but this
is no longer the case. In many instances, a person with only a high school diploma faces difficulties finding well-paying positions with job security. 67) A few years of college, and better a degree, are now almost necessary qualifications.
Obtaining a college degree makes more than just a financial difference for the individual; rather, it can make the difference for an entire family. Those with more education are generally qualified for jobs with better benefits, including health, life, and retirement.
68) As the cost of a college education goes up, many begin to question whether the expense is worth the reward. Simply examining the financial differential between those with a college degree and those without one reveals that the more educated a person is, the more, on average, he will earn in his lifetime. 69) It is estimated that people with a college degree earn almost twice as much as those with only a high school diploma; even those with only a few years of college or an associate's degree earn close to a quarter more. Though the burden of tuition and loans can seem heavy, the cost of remaining uneducated is obvious.
Significance
Parents who make more money are also better able to provide for their children's education, increasing the likelihood that they will go to college and get good jobs. 70) Getting a college education is one of the best ways to escape the cycle of poverty, for both yourself and your children.

写作
Giant leaps of the Internet industry have set the stage for the mushrooming of online shopping, which is gaining growing popularity for the past year or two. According to one recent survey conducted by Sina Weibo, an immensely popular microblogging service in the Middle Kingdom, close to 90 percent of respondents have once done web shopping.
Undoubtedly, virtual shopping cuts both ways. To be more concrete, Internet
shopping enjoys a host of benefits. To name only one: the prices of the commodities and services you desire to purchase are typically lower in online shops than that in physical ones. For all the various strengths of Internet-based shopping, the dark sides of it also exist, however. Take a concrete example. A tiny minority of merchants with evil motives use the false information to trick people into parting with credit cards and other important personal details, which cost consumers dear.
From my own perspective, the rewards of Internet-based shopping outweigh its risks. Simply stated, we are supposed to make full use of its virtues to serve our purposes and do all in our power to minimize its adverse impacts on us meanwhile.

The servants were up very late on the Saturday evening, getting everything ready for the next day, and while they were busy they saw the glow (暗淡的光) of a fire start in the sky. By 3 o'clock on the Sunday morning, the glow had become so bright that one of the servants, Jane, woke her master to see it. Pepys went to the window to watch it. It seemed fairly far away, so after a time he went back to bed. When he got up in the morning, it looked as though the fire was dying down, though he could still see some flames. So he set to work to tidy his room and put his things back where he wanted them after the servants had cleaned everything. While he was doing this, Jane came in to say that she had heard that the fire was a bad one: three hundred houses had been burned down in the night and the fire was still burning. Pepys went out to see for himself. He went to the Tower of London and climbed up on a high part of the building so that he could see what was happening. From there, Pepys could see that it was, indeed, a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning. Someone told him that the fire had started in a

《大学英语》样卷 Part II. Reading Comprehension (40 points) Directions:There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One How do young children learn to have good values? How can parents teach their children about the importance of kindness, patience, and self-discipline? At a time when more and more parents worry about the negative and violent images (暴力形象) their children see on TV, in the movies and, on the internet, some are turning to fairy tales (童话) as a way to teach their young ones how to behave in society. Fairy tales were not always intended for children. We know this because some of these stories have existed for hundreds of years and were passed from generation to generation through songs and drama. They were considered entertainment for everyone, not only for young people. In these ancient stories, the heroes were extremely clever, fiercely independent, and never gave up. Over the years, some of the heroes’ qualities and story lines have been changed to fit the times. Psychologists think that fairy tales have a positive influence on children because they present the two sides of good and evil very clearly. When children hear the stories, they develop sympathetic for the heroic characters. In each tale, they can see that there are many different kinds of people in the world and that we all have a choice about what kind of people we want to be. We can choose to do good actions, rather than bad ones, in our lives. What kind of values can children learn from fairy tales? In “The Princess and the Pea,”a poorly dressed girl who insists she is a princess is given a difficult test by the Queen. When she passes the test, we learn that she is rewarded because she stayed true to herself. In “The Little Mermaid,” the mermaid (美人鱼) who lives under the sea longs to be with the humans on land. Through her experiences, we learn about the importance of living with and accepting other cultures. In “Pinocchio,” a wooden puppet (木偶) turns into a boy when he finally learns how to tell the truth. Teaching values is the reason most often given for teaching literature and encouraging reading. These old stories can indeed teach us lessons about human relationships that are universal (普遍的) enough to survive throughout the centuries. This might be the reason why they have been around for so long and are unlikely to disappear any time soon. 1. What do we learn about fairy tales from the passage? A. They are written solely for children.

World of the Future Scientists think that wonderful things may come true in the future. Future means a time that is not yet here. It can be a short time from now or a long time from now. Some of the underwater wonders are almost ready to come true now. Others won't come tree, we think, until a long time from now. Some, of course, may never come true--but who knows for sure? They may. What are some of the wonders that may come true in the future? A world underground The green utopia (an ideally perfect place) underground is going to help us regain a more harmonious relationship between the often opposing sides of large-scale development and our ecosystem. The city may be called Alice City, from Alice's Adventure in the Wonderland, which offers a wonderful world that is almost as fantastical as that was described in the book. A large clear dome (圆顶), within an area of open parkland, leads into a multi-leveled structured metropolis of underground offices, housing, transportation and public areas. There will be everything to make the city as self-sufficient as possible including shopping malls, theatres and sports complexes in addition to facilities (contained in a separate structure) for power generation, heating and waste recycling. Apart from offering an almost limitless space for development, such underground development has many more attractive ecological advantages over traditional forms of housing. It is less disturbing than high rise development and therefore favorable in environmentally sensitive areas. Land above the complex can be set aside for parkland and recreational use. In towns or cities where pollution levels are high, air can be filtered through air pipes in the roof of an underground housing or industrial complex. A world underwater At the docks you step into a shiny metal submarine that is shaped like a shark. The door is closed behind you, and powerful engine starts to push. Down slides the submarine--like a shark diving. Deeper and deeper under the water. Soon all sunlight is gone. The headlights of the diving ship are turned on. Then, six miles below, you come to the sea bottom. From the diving submarine, you change to tiny jet boat and ride along close to the bottom of the ocean, almost as you would skim over the land in an air-plane. As you travel, you have fun looking out the window at the sights on the bottom of the ocean. You see strange fish and underwater mountains, cliffs, and valleys. But more than that--hotels and mining camps and farms and factories! A world in space Let's go back to dry land and take a future journey the other way-up instead of down. Huge rocket liners take you into space to visit the Moon Camp. You walk around on the moon in a special moon suit. You visit an observatory where a giant telescope looks far into space--farther than anyone has ever been able to see from Earth. You go deep down into one of the moon mines. After you have visited the moon, you visit the Mars Colony and the Venus Exploration Outpost. A new world on the Earth Let's go back to Earth. In the far, far future, girls--and boys, too--may be playing with dolls that look like the people of the planets visited by our spacemen. To control or run all kinds of toys, boys and girls may learn to use special computers --machines that answer questions and do arithmetic faster than you can blink. Bicycles and perhaps skates may be run by jet power, and a new thing to ride may be a small flying saucer. Imagine a race between them! There may be telepathy (心灵感应) helmets that send thought waves from your brain to that of your friend miles away. You just think a thought and your friend knows it! You can have secrets with each other that nobody else can turn in on! Robots There will be other surprises in the future. How would you like to have a robot playmate? Having robot playmates may not be-so much fun as it seems. But maybe a boy with a wrench (扳手) and a screwdriver can fix the robot so that it won't be too perfect! Food What about the food of the future? Scientists think that much of it will be artificial --made in factories from such surprising things as coal, limestone, air, and water. You don't think that ice-cream or cake or candy or even bread and potatoes made out of these things will taste very good? You may be wrong. These artificial things will be blended so skillfully by food chemists that the food of the future probably will be delicious. It probably will also be healthful because all the things that you need to live a long and healthy life will be put into it. A longer life Scientists of the future will almost certainly find other ways to make life last longer. They probably will find cures for most diseases. Hospitals will probably have "body banks" that can give you almost any new part you need to keep on living. People of the future may live to be a lot older than 100 years. TV Are you wondering whether there'll be television in the future? There'll almost certainly be wonderful programs. Television screens probably will be large and flat, hanging on the wall or going across the four walls of a room. People on the screen will look as real as if they were right in the room with you. Highways What about highways of the future? Well, a very small child probably will be able to drive a car. Nobody will need to steer. Electric signals will hold each car on the right road to get wherever the "driver" wants to go. And it probably will be impossible for cars to smash together. Controls that won't even have to be touched will make all speeding cars miss each other or will put on the brakes. Driving by car will be as safe as being at home. Weather control But maybe the most wonderful surprise in the future will be weather control. Cities may have giant plastic domes over them to keep out snow, rain, or storms. When you plan a picnic in a park, you won't have to worry about rain. It will rain only when the "weatherman" thinks it is needed to freshen the air inside the city. All other days will be fair and warm. The future should be a wonderful time in which to live. But the time you axe living in now was also "a wonderful future" to the people who lived 100 years ago. 1. The underground city would get its name from a book called Alice's Adventure in the Wonderland. A. Y B. N C. NG 2. The multi-leveled structure underground would include everything that is necessary to a city, from offices, shopping malls to power and heating system. A. Y B. N C. NG
