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 the Answer Sheet.Passage OneThe scandal at Harvard university in which authorities are investigating whether nearly half of a class of 279 students cheated on a take-home final exam raises a number of questions, including this : Does everybody cheat?Dozens of Harvard university students may have wrongly shared answers on a final exam, an “unprecedented” care of suspected academic dishonesty. Sanction for students found guilty of cheating include leaving Harvard for a year.Harvard, like most U.S. colleges and universities, has never had an honor code, although the Associated Press reports that it is giving “renewed consideration” to the ideas as a result of the scandal.So, does everybody cheat?Not quite, but studies show that most students cheat at one time or another.A survey of 40,000 high school students found that more than half of teenagers said they had cheated on a test in the previous year, and 34 percent said they had done it more than twice. One-third of the students said that they had plagiarized an assignment with the help of the Internet.The consequences for the country may be significant. A 2009 study about the relationship between high school attitudes and behavior and later adult conduct found that people who cheated on the exams in high school two or more times are more likely to be dishonest later in life than those who never cheated in high school.Meanwhile, we’ve seen successive scandals inv olving cheating by the adults in school-teachers and principals-as a result of the growing importance of standardized tests. As the stakes associated with the scores have risen-the tests are used to gauge not only student achievement, but also teacher effectiveness, school and district quality-more people have taken desperate measures to ensure better scores. Not an excuse, just an explanation.Modern technology makes cheating much easier. Cheating cases have been documented in 30 states over the past three academic years. Some students, including those at virtual schools, sometimes put entire quizzes on the Internet, and the same exams are used repeatedly by teachers.Back at Harvard, a culture of cheating persists. “There’s a lot of pressure internally and externally to succeed at Harvard, and when kids who are not used to failing feel these things, it can really bend their ethics in ways I didn’t expect to see,” author Eric Kester told ABC News.51. The word “unprecedented” is used in Paragraph Two to emph asize that ______.A. there had never been any cheating at Harvard beforeB. such cases of cheating had been left unreported by the mediaC. such large-scale cheating was something unheard of at HarvardD. the causes of these cases of cheating had remained a mystery52.An honor code is probably ________.A. a person who decides on the penalty to an offenderB. a set of rules or principles to deter academic dishonestyC. a series of codes for various test papers at schoolD. a role model well-known for his honesty and diligence53.The survey of 40,000 high schools found that ________.A. The majority of these teenagers had cheated on many testsB. one in three students had cheated on only one testC. at least half of these students had committed cheatingD. all these teenagers had cheated with the help of Internet54.According to the 2009 study, cheating on a test in high school ________.A. leaves one prone to major crimes in adulthoodB. increases the chance of dishonesty in later lifeC. has no effect on one’s behavior in adulthoodD. is no longer regarded as shameful in adulthood55.Which of the following is true about teachers and principals according to this passage?A. They can benefit from high scores of students.B. They seldom punish the offenders on a test.C. They are reluctant to become more effective.D. They have never used standardized tests.56.The central idea of this passage is that ________.A. students at Harvard are under great pressureB. cheating has negative impact on one’s careerC. high schools and colleges encourage cheatingD. cheating is quite universal and commonplacePassage TwoThe digital attack of e-books and Amazon-styles e-tailers has put bookstores at risk. Digital books are expected to outsell print titles by 2015 in Britain and even sooner in America.with this change, physical bookstores appear to be on borrowed time. So, what is the future of the bookstore? This is a burning question on everyone’s lips at a recent event at Foyles’s flagship bookstore in London.To remain successful, a bookstore must improve “the experiments of buying books,” says Alex Lifschutz, an architect. He suggests an array of approaches:“small ,quiet spaces sheltered with books; Larger spaces where one can dwell and read;other larger but still intimate spaces where one can hear talks from authors about books.”Exteriors must buzz with activity;entrances must be full of eye-catching presentations.The trend for not only incorporating cafes in bookstores but also placing them on the top floor makes good sense.This draws shoppers upwards floor-by-floor ,which is bound to encourage people to linger longer and spend more.There are plenty of ways to delight customers.The consensus is that bookstores need to become cultural destinations where people are prepared to pay good money to hear a concert,see a film or attend a talk.The programming will have to be intelligent and the space comfortable.As shoppers often browse in shops only to buy online later,some wonder whether it makes sense to charge people for the privilege.A more attractive idea might be a membership scheme like those offered by museums and other cultural venues.Unlike rewawd cards,which offer discounts and other nominal benefits,a club membership could provide priority access to events and a private lounge where members can eat,drink and meet authors before events.Different memberships could tailor to the needs of children and students.To survive and thrive,bookstores should celebrate the book in all its forms:rare,second-hand,digital,self-printed and so on.Reaaders should have the option of buying e-books in-store,and budding authors should have access to self-pringting book machines,an important source of revenue in America.The bookstore of the future will have to work hard.Service will be knowledgeable and personalized,the inventory expertly selected,spaces well-designed and the culturalenents appealing.Whether bookstores are up to the challenge is not clear.The fate of these stores is a cliff-hanger.57. The first paragraph implies that without effective countermeasures .A.books on physics will die out soonB.traditional bookstores will be short-livedC.no bookstores can survive digitalizationD.printed books will outnumber e-books58. The main idea of the second paragraph is that .A.the layout and atmosphere will be vital for bookstoresB.advertising is critical to sales at future bookstoresC.future bookstores should provide quick servicesD.bookstores should provide dringks on each floor59.All of the following are approaches suggested to boost sales EXCEPT .A.making bookstores recreationalB.adopting the membership schemeC.issuing reward cards to customersD.widening the range of services60. The underlined word “celebrate” as is used in this passage probably means _____________memorateB. observeC.spendD.embrace61. The last paragraph of this passage is concerned with __________A.the easily achievable goal of future bookstoresB.current difficulties facing bookstoresC.great opportunities for various bookstoresD.challenges facing bookstores of the future62. This passage can be entitledA.E--Publish or PerishB.The Future of the BookstoreC.Lower Value of Physical BooksD.Never Too Old to ReadPASSAGE THREEEveryone knows about straight--A students . They get high grades , all right , but only by becoming dull and diligent students , their noses always stuck in a book . How , then , do we account for Paul Melendres ? Melendres , now a freshman at the University of New Mexico , was student---body president at Valley High School in Albuquerque . He joined the soccer and basketball teams of this school , exhibited at the science fair , was chosen foe the National Honor Society and he achieved straight A’s in all his classes ..How do super--achievers like Melendres do it ? Brains are not the only answer .”Top grades do not always go to the brightest students , “declares Herbert Walberg , professor of education at the University of Illinois at Chicago , who has conducted major studies of e super--achieving students . ‘Knowing how to make the most of your innate abilities counts for more . Infinitely more .”Hard work is not the whole story , e ither. “It is not how long you sit there with the books open ,” said one of mang many A students we interviewed . “ It is what you do while you aer sitting .” Indeed , some of these students actually put in fewer hours of homework time than their lower--scoring classmates .The kids at the top of the class get there by masting a few basic techniques that others can readily learn .Set priorities .Top students brook no intrusions on study time . Once the books are open or the computer is booted up , phone calls go unanswered , TV shows unwatched , snacks ignored . Study is business : business comes before recreation .Study anywhere---or everywhere. A cross---country runner who worked out every day used the time to memorize biology terms . Another student posted a vocabulary list by the medicine cabinet and learned a new word every day while brushing his teeth.Get organized.In high school,McCray ran track,played rugby and was in the band and orchestra.”I was so busy,I couldn’t waste time loo king for a pencil or missing paper.I kept everything right where I could put my hands on it,”he says.Among the students we interviewed,study times were strictly a matter of personalpreference.Some worked late at night when the house was quiet.Others awoke early.Still others studied as soon as they came home from school when the work was fresh in their minds.All agreed,however,on the need for consistency.63. Which of the following statements might Herbert Walberg agree with?A.A super-achiever has to devote all his spare time to studyB. High IQ alone may not be the guarantee of top gradesC.Innate abilities do not make much difference to your gradesD.The brighter the students,the greater their chances of success64. In paragraph Three,the author stresses the importance of .A.disciplineB.practiceC.carefulnessD.efficiency65. ”Top students brook no intrusions on study time.”(Para.5) means that they ________ .A.consider study nore important than anything elseB.never ask any questions while studyingC.don’t allow other things to interrupt their studyD.don’t want other people to tell them how to study66. What tips might McCray offer to other students?A.Study anywhere at any timeB.Learn as much as you canC.Put things in their right placesD.Join a school organization67. What can we learn about study times from the last paragraph?A.Study times can be adjusted every dayB.Study times vary from person to personC.There are no best study times for a student.D.Study times are crucial for academic excellence.68. What is the topic of the passage?A.Secrets of top sudentsB.Balacing study and playC.Hard work in high schoolsD.Grades and educationsPassage FourCleaning clothes usually requires soap and water to remove srains and smells,and a tumble in the dryer or an afternoon on the clothesline to dry.The time and energy needed to turn a heap of dirty laundry into a pile of clean clothes might make people wish for clothes that just clean themselves.That wish is a step closer to coming true.Recent experiments show that cotton fabric coated with the right mixture of chemicals can dissolve stains and remove odors after only a few hours in the sun.”The technology can be applied to all kinds of fabrics and their related products,”says materials scientist Mingce Long.He helped develop the treated cotton with his colleague Deyong Wu.The handy fabric gets its self-cleaning abilities from a chemical mixture that coats the cotton threads.The coating includes substances known as photocatalysts,which trigger chemical ractions in light,One of those photocatalysts,called titanium dioxide （二氧化钛），helps sunscreen block the sun.Another,called silver iodide(碘化银)，is used for developing photographs.Researches have previously shown that titanium dioxide mixtures could remove stains in clothes—but with exposure to ultraviolet ,not visible,light.(The waves of ultraviolet light are more energetic and shorter than those of visible light.)Other studies have demonstrated that silver iodide can speed up chemical reactions in sunlight.“We knew that self-cleaning cotton fabrics with titanium dioxide coating had already been developed,but they cannot work,or they work weakly,under sunlight,”Long sys.”If we want to use the fabrics in da ily life,we must develop cotton that cleans itself undaer daylight.”Long and Wu created with the titanium dioxide mixture.Then they added particles of silver iodide,which boosted the fabric’sself-cleaning ability in the sun.In laboratory tests,their creation was nearly seven times better at removing stains than titanium dioxide alone.The scientists can’t start selling their self-cleaning cotton just yet;they still need to make sure the coated cotton won’t harm those who wear it.Although titanium dioxide is used in some foods,recent experiments have shown that it can cause health problems if it gets in the lungs.So before the material can be worn,scientists need to find a way to make it safe.69. The materials developed by Mingce Long can clean themselves by______A.being exposed only to ultraviolet lightB.being exposed to sunlight for a few hoursC.being hung in high-temperature environmentD.being soaked in a mixture of chemicals70. The research conducted by Long and his colleagues_________A.is based on previous studiesB.is pioneer work in a few fieldC.poses a challenge to other scientistD.has caused a debate among scientist71.

Part One: Reading ComprehensionDirections: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 write down the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Hyperinflation (极度通货膨胀) is defined as an economic condition during which there is a steep increase in prices. In accordance with the laws of economics, three factors combine to create this condition. First, demand must be much greater than the supply of available goods. Second, the country must continuously create and thereby build up an ever increasing supply of money. Third, the governmental processes that are used to collect taxes must be crippled. Let’s imagine a country where production is barely accomplishing its goal to keep up with demand. When this happens, the government should decrease the salaries of the workers by raising taxes. But the government is powerless to collect the taxes, so it prints more money to compensate for (补偿) the goods it must purchase. This new money goes to the workers who produced the goods: as a result, the people are forced to give up certain things for a while—they actually become richer. While this might appear to be a positive step, it is actually regressive. Every month the government is forced to print more and more money, thereby increasing its liabilities(债务) until it is destroyed. The only way to prevent total economic collapse in such a situation is for the government to increase taxes in a manner that is characterized by impartiality (公正) to everyone involved.1.Which of the following might occur during hyperinflation?A. A slight increase in prices.B.Rapid growth of economic.C.Decrease of worker’s salary.D.Soaring prices.2.The author states that during hyperinflation_______________.A. goods appear to be overabundantB. the country has to supply more moneyC. government may become richer by collecting more taxesD. people are forced to give up certain things3.

The word “regressive” probably means___________.A. harmfulB. negativeC. going backD. progressive5. The tone of the author can be said to be___________.A. seriousB. mildC. subjectiveD. objectivePassage 2Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is for life.In some modern countries, it has been fashionable to think that by free education for all--- whether rich or poor, clever or stupid one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees, they refuse to do what they think “low” work. In fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor. We can live without education, but we would die if we have no food. If no one cleaned out streets and moved the rubbish away our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.6. The author of this passage thinks that ______.A. education can settle all of the world’s problems.B. free education won’t help to solve social problems.C. free education for all probably leads to a perfect worldD. all the social problems can’t be solved by education7.

One can learn from the passage _______.A. work with hands is dirty and shameful workB. work with hands is low workC. work with hands is the most importantD. we can’t regard work with hands as low work9. The purpose of education is ______.A. to choose the system of educationB. to prepare children mainly for their future workC. to build a perfect worldD. to let everyone receive education fit for him10. The passage mainly tells us about ______ of education.A. the meansB. the systemC. the valueD. the typePassage 3Everybody in this world is different from one another. But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it’s not easy to change later in life. Financial experts say that every one also has their own belief of how to manage their finances. This is part of our value system and it has a great impact on the way we look after our money. According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail.The ant---works firstJust like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don’t care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk.The cricket---fun firstThe cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn’t think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little saving. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance.The snail---lives under pressureThe snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.11. According to the passage, by looking into the differences of people, you will_____.A. know different ways of saving moneyB. find people’s different ways of managing their financesC. easily set up your value systemsD. easily change your value system12. Value system_____.A. is a set of our own values or beliefsB. is the way we look after our moneyC. will not change later in timeD. is belief of how to manage our finances13. People who live like ants_____.A. will store food in summer for winterB. don’t enjoy their workingC. may enjoy lift when they get old and retireD. love saving money instead of making investment14. Which of the following is true?A. the crickets always think they have no futureB. the crickets borrow money because they would like to enjoy everything nowC. the snails will take more loans if they realize that they can afford it.D. the snails enjoy life because they have luxurious houses.15. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is_____.A. to state that we are the same as animalsB. to make fun of the three kinds of foolish peopleC. to make us understand we should spend our own moneyD. to make us understand the differences of people and manage our money betterPassage 4Stories of a mysterious island called Atlantis date from around 400 BC.

(1)Objective Description:A professional author has to focus on the object he is portraying rather than on his personal reactions to it. All the related situations require a precise description of the conditions or processes his research involves. And in such cases his goal is to supply information-to build up as accurate a picture as he can for his readers.(2)Subjective Description:To show the author’s impressions of or responses to what they see. 21.General Requirement for ResearchDescriptionPresenting a Picture of the Object.Illustrating the Object in Artificial Language. Making Necessary Comparison.Sizing the Object Specially.Locating the Object Correctly. Carefully. Generalizing/Systematizing the Observation 22.L ogical Development1)Developing by Chronological Sequence2)Developing by Investigation Procedures3)Developing the Research “from Abstract to Concrete”(deductive method )演绎法4）Developing the Research “from Concrete toAbstract”(inductive method)归纳法5）Developing by Using Other Logical Sequencing23.Reasoning(Persuasion)劝导法/推理The task of reasoning is to justify the writer’sinference and try to persuade the readers of theproposals offered by the writer.24.General Functions and Contents of Results:The value of a research lies in the value of itsfinal results and the author’s interpretation of theresults.

For each of them there are fourchoices marked A, B, C or D. You should decide on the best choice andchoose the corresponding letter .Passage OneQuestions 121 to 125 are based on the following passage.Have you ever seen a moon that looks unbelievably big? It hangs over the horizon like a huge, pale hot-air balloon. Many people think of the bright full moon of autumn or the harvest moon that way —like a huge, pale hot-air balloon. But can you always trust your eyes?The harvest moon is the full moon on a day nearest the first day of autumn. Full or nearly full, it rises early in the evening forseveral nights in a row. It brings farmers well-lit evenings to harvest their crops.The harvest moon can look huge. But does it really fill more of the sky than an ordinary full moon?Why does the moon look bigger when it is near the horizon? Our brains compare the size of the moon with the size of the objects we see on the horizon. We know that the distant mountains, homes, or skyscrapers are really very large. And, since the moon is much farther away than is the distant landscape, we “see” the moon as being larger than it would otherwise look.4121 To what do we compare the size of the harvest moon?A. MountainsB. BuildingsC. HomesD. All of these 122. The main purpose of the article is to __________.A. informB. persuadeC. praiseD. convince 123.

Spring was born in Englandin 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he prospered (兴隆) by selling his small but real collection of early US signatures. Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating (模仿) signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To lessen the chance of being found out, he sent his forgeries (伪造品) to England and Canada for sale.Forgers have a hard time selling their products. A forger can’t approach a respectable buyer but must deal with people wh o don’t have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their work look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they can treat paper and ink with chemicals.In Spring’s time, right after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the Southern states, so Spring invented a respectable lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General “Stonewall” Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny’s money problems forced her to sell a great number of letters and manuscripts （手稿）belonging to her famous father. Spring hadto work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring from dying in poverty （贫穷）, leaving sharp-eyed experts the difficult task of separating his forgeries from the originals. 126 According to the context, what does “forger” m ean?A. A forger is a person who opens a bookshop.B. A forger is a person who is good at his job.C. A forger is a person who loves to cheat people.D. A forger is a person who makes false things such as signatures.127.How did Spring make his first fortune?A. He prospered by selling fake signatures of VIP.B. He became rich by selling books.C. He became rich by selling his collection of real signatures.D. He received a large amount of money from one of his relatives.128.What was the trouble for forgers in their business mentioned in this passage?A. They could not find anyone who was willing to buy their forgeries.B. They found it very hard to forge the signatures of those famous people.C. They found it difficult to sell their forgeries to people with knowledge.D. They had no way to make their products attractive and true.129. According to the passage, what can be said about Spring?A. He was very good at forgery and earned money doing it.B. He tried many times to make good forgeries but failed.C. He could not meet the demand of Miss Fanny and was poor for a short time.D. He prospered on his forgery and extended his business to many parts of the world.130. What is the tone of this passage?A. Boastful.B. Approving.C. ObjectiveD. Critical.Passage ThreeQuestions 131 to 135 are based on the following passage.Computer programmer David Jones makes $35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a check card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18.The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David's firm puts two new games on the home market each month.But David's biggest headache is what to do with his money. In spite of his salary, made by inventing new programs within quite a short period of time, with bonus payments and profit sharing, he cannot drive a car, get some money from a bank to buy a house, or get credit cards He lives with his parents in their house in Liverpool, where his father is a bus driver. His firm has to pay $150 a month in taxi fares to get him the five miles to work and back every day because David cannot drive.David got his job with the firm a year after leaving school with six levels and working for a time in a computer shop. " I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs, he said."I suppose $35,000 sounds a lot but actually that's not good enough I hope it will come to more than that this year. " He spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother $20 a week. But most of his spare time is spent working."Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school," he said. "But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, any-way.David added, "I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear."131. Why is David different from other young people of his age?A. He earns a very high salary.B. He has no job.C. He does not go out much.D.

While entertainment has been the focus up to the present, the real importance of television is only now being discovered.In the future, television communication will serve many significant functions in the home. Already we have cassette tapes of programs, and we are able to use the home screen to play gamessuch as electronic tennis. Eventually, students might prefer to talk to an instructor on television through special attachments to their home sets, and this could mean the end of public schools as we know them.Most of all, television will become a place for creative ideas. Instead of passively watching programs the way we do now, new developments will allow us to participate in shows and to feel and sense directly the emotions of the actors we watch. Also, there will be methods that will let us shape and create our own shows. We may even be able to press a button and have our own light show displayed on the screen. We will be able to think of animage and see that image flash on the screen in front of us. Different people in different places will be able to exchange ideas through television and even to interrupt and comment on shows for the benefit of performers in the television studio.Television is a necessary part of our technological future. Now is the time for us to consider it as a responsibility, so that, when the new inventions make it more interesting to watch television, our own ideas and creative talents will be ready and waiting to make the technology of television more beneficial for all.136.

Because the earth is divided into twenty-four timezones one hour apart, you can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes the hour. Travelling west, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours.If you travel by ship across the Pacific you cross the international date line. By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar the full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday; traveling west, it is tomorrow!141. The best title for this selection is __________.A. A Trip Across the AtlanticB. How Time Changes Around the WorldC.

Language and communication skills are believed to develop best in an environment that is rich with sounds and sights. Experts say children should repeatedly hear the speech and language of other people.America’s National Institutes of Health says evidence suggests there are important periods of speech and language development in children. The ability to learn a language will be more difficult if these periods pass without early contact with a language.The first signs of communication happen during the first few days of life, when a baby learns that crying will bring food and attention. Research shows that most children recognize the general sounds of their native language by six months of age. By that time, a baby usually begins to make speech-like sounds. These sounds become a kind of nonsense speech over time.By the end of their first year, most children are able to say a few simple words,although they may not understand the meaning of the words. By 18 months of age, most children can say between eight and ten words. By two years of age, most children are able to make simple statements. By ages three, four and five, the number of words a child can understand quickly increases. It is at these ages that children begin to understand the rules of language.41. Language and communication skills are best developed in an environment full of .A) babies’ loud crying B) sounds and sightsC) nonsense speech D) food and attention42. According to the second paragraph, evidence shows that for children there exist .A) natural abilities to learn a languageB) difficult periods to learn a languageC) critical abilities to develop their languageD) critical periods to develop their language43. A baby begins to learn what communication is when .A) it realizes crying will bring food and attentionB) it first realizes nonsense speech over timeC) it first makes some recognizable soundsD) it makes the sounds and speech repeatedly44. When do babies usually begin to make speech-like sounds?A) By the age of two. B)By the age of one.C) By the age of 6 months. D) By the age of three.45. According to the passage, which of the following language skills do children develop last?A) Grammar. B) Sounds. C) Words. D) Statements.Passage TwoThe only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed earnestly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from bad weather, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, when he came back from looking for food, he found that his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky.The worst had happened. Everything was lost.He was stunned with grief and anger. “God, how could you do this to me!” he cried.Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. “How did you know I was here?”the weary man asked his rescuers. “We saw your smoke signal,” they replied.It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad.But we shouldn’t lose heart, even in the midst of pain and suffering.Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground it just may bea smoke signal that summons the help from God.46. From the first paragraph we learn that a ship .A) had been on fire B)had been robbedC) had sunk D)was missing47. The word exhausted (Para.2) can be best replaced with .A) tired B)shocked C) excited D)disappointed48. When he came back from looking for food, the man found his little hut .A) washed away B)in water C) torn down D)on fire49. The rescuers got to know there was a person on the island because they saw .A) the hut B)the smoke C)the footprints D)the shipwreck50.

Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.“I have two kids in college, and I want to say ‘come home,’ but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Jacobs.The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but atleast they will be able to finish school.With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.At the same time, tuition（学费）continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade,“If we go on this way for another 25years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.51. According to Paragraph 1 why did the plan of Jacobs family fail?A) The family fell apart.B) The tuition was raised.C) Their saving ran out .D) The father was out of work.52. How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem?A) They got help from the school and the federal government.B) They borrowed a large sum of money from the school.C) They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.D) They told their children to drop out from the school.53. Financial aid administrators believe that _______.A) college tuition fees will double in the next decadeB) the government will receive more letters of complaintC) more families will face the same problem as the JacobsD) they will have enough money to support poor students54. What can we learn about the middle class families from the passage?A) They blamed the government for the college tuition increase.B) The earn enough to support their kids’college education.C) They will try their best to send kids to college.D) Their debts will be paid off within a decade.55. According to the last paragraph, the government will .A) provide most students with scholarshipsB) cut down financial aid to college studentsC) stop the companies from making student loansD) go on providing financial support for college studentsPassage FourOnline dating or Integer dating is a dating system which allows individuals, couples and groups to make contact and communicate with each other over the Internet, usually with the objective of developing a personal, romantic, or sexual relationship.

Please write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Most people know that water is unevenly distributed over the earth’s surface in oceans, rivers, and lakes. Few realize, however, how very uneven the distribution actually is .71) It is necessary to think of the total amount of water on Earth, the areas where the water occurs, and the long-term importance of the findings.The oceans of the world cover 140 million square miles of the Earth’s surface and the average depth of the ocean basin is about 12,500 feet. If the basins were shallow, seas would spread far onto the continents. 72) Dry land areas would consist mainly of a few island groups with high mountain ranges rising above the sea.Considered as a continuous body of fluid, the atmosphere is another kind of ocean. Yet, in view of the total amount of rain and snow on land areas in the course of a year, one of the most amazing water facts is the very small amount of water in the atmosphere at any given time. The volume of the lower seven miles of the atmosphere is roughly four times the volume of the world’s oceans. But the atmosphere contains very little water. 73) It is chiefly in the form of invisible vapor, some of which is carried over land by air currents. If all vapor suddenly fell from the air onto the Earth’s surface, it would form a layer only about one inch thick. 74) A heavy rainstorm on a given area may use up only s small percentage of the water from the air mass that passes over. How, then, can some land areas receive more than 400 inches of rain per year? How can several inches of rain fall during a single storm in a few minutes or hours? 75) The answer is that rain-yielding air massesare in motion, and as the drying air mass moves on, new moist air takes its place.

With the sea ice forming later in the year and melting earlier, polar bears do not have enough opportunity to hunt and eat. Less sea ice makes it harder for the bears to catch the seals. The bears must swim longer distances between ice packs(大片浮冰), and they can't always make it. The ice is also getting thinner. These conditions can cause polar-bearcabsto become separated from their mothers, who provide them with food.

2013年山东学位英语样题及答案2012-12-26 07:43 来源:31省市学位英语网[大中小]Part I Reading Comprehension(35 minutes,40 points)Directions: There are four 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). After you read a passage you should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.A fire drill is, to put it mildly, an inconvenient exercise at the best of times.A fire drill at 2:00 in the morning in terrible weather conditions, like the one we had on Thursday night and Friday morning last, is incomparably more inconvenient. This is why writing this note to thank you all most sincerely for your excellent co-operation and the spirit with which you endured the inconvenience.A fire drill is not an idle exercise. It is an extremely serious one and can, in fact, save lives in the long run. Last week’ fire drill has already reyealed a number of important things regarding fire precautions in the Hall. For instance, there seem to exit a number of “deaf spots” in the Hall, namely, the two rooms in Purser House and some rooms in the Bottom corridor. I have no reason to doubt that residents from these areas could not hear the alarm. I shall request an immediate examination of this problem.I should, also, remind you that it is a requirement that fire drills should be regularly carried out (at least two in every one year)and each resident should be made fully aware of this and obliged to take part. All residents must take fire precautions with the seriousness they deserve. Failure to do so can result bin fines and expulsion(驱逐)from the Hall. Thank you again for your co-operation.1. The last fire drill caused much more inconvenience because_________.A) it was in bad weather B) there were “deaf spots”C) a big fire started D) it was at the weekend2. The phrase “in the long run”(L.2,Part.2)means_________.A)effectively B) endlessly C) eventually D) efficiently3. Some people did not make their appearance at the last drill because_______.A) they were deaf B)they could not hear the alarmC) nobody waked them up D) they refused to leave their rooms4. Afire drill is extremely important according to the writer for_________.A) it is a good physical exercise B) it cultivates people’s enduranceC) it is a legal requirement D) it can save lives in case of a fire5. Which of the following was NOT stated by the author?A) A fire drill is very important and useful.B) The last fire drill received inactive co-operation from the residents.C) Those who do not take fire precautions will be fined and driven out.D) It has been made a rule that fire drills will be performed regularly.Passage TwoQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passageAccidents are caused; they don’t just happen. The reason may be easy to see: a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the misfortune—frustration, tiredness or just bad temper—that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.By definition, an accident is something you can not predict or avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moments of carelessness or thoughtlessness.It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety precautions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are injured from work due to accidents. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment—noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factorswhich contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.6. The passage suggests that________.A)Accidents are usually caused by psychological factors.B)Accidents mostly result from slippery roads.C)Drinkers run three times the normal risk of accidents in factories.D)About 50 000people lose their lives at work in Britain every day.7.Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor of accidents?A) Mood. B) Tiredness. C) Carelessness D) Weather8. The word “accidents-prone”(L.2 Para.2)means________.A) likely to have accidentsB) injured in accidentsC) possible to die in accidents D) responsible for road accidents9. What can we infer about the author’ opinion of accidents?A) Safety precautions are of little use in accidents.B) Many accidents can and should be avoided.C) Factory accidents , unlike road accidents, are inevitable.D) Most road accidents are caused by just a few careless drivers.10. The best title for the passage would be __________.A) Accidents and AnxietyB) How to Deal with Accidents on Road and in FactoriesC) Human Factors in AccidentsD) How to Prevent Accidents on Road and in FactoriesPassage ThreeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.Is language, like food, a basic human need? Judging from the result of the violent experiment by a German King, Frederick II, in the 13th century, it may be. Hoping to discover what language a child would speak if he heard no mother tongue, he told the nurses to keep silent.All the infants died before the first year. But clearly there was more than language deprivation here. What was missing was good mothering. Without good mothering, in the first year of life especially, the capacity to survive is seriously affected.Today no much violent deprivation exists as that by Frederick II. Nevertheless, some children are still backward in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the signals of the infant, whose brain is programmed to map up language rapidly. There are critical times, it seems, when children learn more readily. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal time for acquiring language skills passes and they might never be learned so easily again.Linguists(语言学家)suggest that speech stages are reached in a fixed sequence and at a constant age, but there are cases where speech has started late in a child who eventually turns out to be of high IQ.Recent evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. What is special about Man’s brain compared with that of the monkey, is the complex system which enables a child to connect the sight and feel of , say, a teddy-bear(玩具熊)with the sound pattern “teddy-bear”.But speech has to be stimulated, and this depends on interaction between the mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the signals in the child’s babbling(牙牙学语), grasping, crying, smiling, and responds to them. Insensitivity of the mother to these signals dulls the interaction because the child gets discouraged and sends out only the obvious signals. Sensitivity to the child’s non-verbal signals is essential to the growth and development language.11. Frederick II’s experiment was violent because_________.A) he wanted to prove children are born with ability to speakB) he ignored the importance of mothering to the infantC) he was unkind to the nurseD) he wanted his nurses to say no mother tongue12. The reason some children are backward in speaking today that_________.A) their mothers do not respond to their attempts to speakB) their mothers are not intelligent enough to help themC) they do not listen carefully to their mothersD) their brains have to absorb too much language at once.13. By “critical times” in Paragraph 3 the author means__________.A) difficult periods in the child’s lifeB) moments when the child becomes critical to its motherC) important stages in the child’s developmentD) times when mothers often neglect their children14. Which of the following in NOT implied in the passage?A) Ability to learn to speak a language is inborn in manB) Children do not need to be encouraged to learn to speakC) Early language starters are not necessarily highly intelligentD) Most children learn their language in definite stages15. If the mother does not respond to her child’s signals_________.A) the child will never be able to speak properlyB) the child will stop giving out signalsC) the child will invent a language of his ownD) the child will make little effort to speakPassage FourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Americans who remember “the good old days” are not alone in complaining about the educational system in this country. Immigrants(移民) complain ,too. Lately a German friend was filled with anger when he learned that the mathematics test given to his son on his first day as a college freshman included multiplication and division. Japanese businessmen in Los Angeles send their children to private schools staffedby teachers imported from Japan to learn mathematics at Japanese levels, generally considered at least a year more advanced than the level here.But I wonder: If American education is so poor, why is it that this is still the country of innovation(创新)?When I was 12 in Indonesia, I had to memorize the name of all the world’s major cities, from Kabul to Karachi. At the same age, my son, who was brought up by a Californian, thought that Buenos Aires was Spanish for good food. However, unlike children of his age in Asia and Europe, my son had studied creative geography. When he was only 6, he drew a map of the route that he traveled to get to school, including the streets, the traffic signs and the houses that he passed.Dissatisfied American parents forget that in this country their children are able to experiment freely with ideas; without this they will not really be able to think or to believe in themselves.Critics of American education cannot grasp one thing: freedom. America, I think, is the only country that extends even to children the license to freely speak, write and be creative. Our public education certainly is not perfect, but it is a great deal better than any other. I think I have found the answer to my question.16. From the text we learn that_________.A) both Americans and immigrants are dissatisfied with the quality of American educationB) the author shares the general idea that American education is worse than education in many other countriesC) Japanese schools in America require their American teachers to teach mathematics at Japanese levelsD) the author’s German friend was a little displeased because the mathematics test for his son was too easy.17. Which of the following is NOT true?A) The author most probably was an immigrant from Asia and received some school education there.B) Buenos Aires must be the name of a city, as are Kabul and Karachi.C) Children in other countries are not likely to learn creative geography.D) The knowledge of geography of the author’s son shows that American education is poor.18. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A) If children are not allowed to experiment freely with ideas they won’t grow up independent and creative.B) Most Americans think the present American educational system is not as good as it used to be.C) Private schools run by Japanese businessmen maintain a higher level than American public schools.D) Americans are more innovative than other people in the world.19. In the last paragraph the author says, “I have found the answer to my question.” What is the question?A) Is Japanese education better than American education?B) Why do Japanese businessmen send their children to Japanese-staffed schools?C) Why was my son not taught enough geographic knowledge?D) Is American education really worse than education in other countries?20. What would be the best title for this passage?A) American Education and Education in Foreign countriesB) Improvement Needed for American EducationC) Freedom to Think— Characteristic of American EducationD) Education and Innovation in AmericanPart II Vocabulary and Structure (30 minutes, 20points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.
