The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything which goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasant wastes would provide energy if nothing else.The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: First, it will pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that founders and rollers will break up everything that can be broken. Finally, the rubbish will pass under magnets（磁铁）, which will remove the bits of iron and steel；the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.The first full-scale giant recycling plants are perhaps fifteen years away. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.十五年内英国不列颠其他国家也应该积极建设大型工业综合体，以回收废物。

Part I Reading Comprehension (30%) Directions: There are three 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.Nonverbal (非语言的) communication has to do with gestures, movements and closeness of two people when they are talking. The scientists say that those gestures, movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry.For example, the body distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, while the South American often considers the North American to be "cold" or "distant" because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to . The "eye contact" provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication. Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who don’’t like each other. The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about.On the other hand, too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable. The eyes apparently play a great part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Someone who is always smiling, and with little apparent reasons, often makes us uneasy.1. According to the passage, nonverbal communication_________.A is a method often used by people who cannot speakB can tell something that words cannotC can be used to talk with people who cannot bearD is less used than words答案:B本题主要考查的是考生对文章定义的理解把握。

Big monopolies try to buy inventions and turn them to their own profits. When they fail, they resort to other tricks. Inventors have to overcome thousands of difficulties put in their path before they can see their dreams realized.When George Stephenson was experimenting with the stream engine, there was much opposition from the Parliament, the newspaper, and landlords. They claimed that the noise and the smoke would kill cows, horses and sheep, that the engine would burst or that hot coals from it would set fire to their houses.So it was a very difficult matter for George Stephenson to persuade the people that trains could go on smooth rails, could pull carriages and wagons full of people and goods, and that there was no great danger of accidents.However, he was able to do it, and the first train driven by Stephenson himself showed that the newly invented steam engine was a complete success.1. The word "those" in the first sentence refers to2.Why do big monopolies buy inventions?3.Which of the following is not the very reason for the opposition to Stephenson's experiment?4. The word "dream" in the first paragraph refers to _____5. What is the main idea of this paragraph?第 1 空选项A. inventorsB. inventionsC. interestsD. monopolies第 2 空选项A.

"Yet in Sydney next month , they will meet again by the pool , and for a short time the friends will race against each other in the 50-meter butterfly(蝶泳)in the Australian championships at Homebush Bay .Gould , now a 47-year-old mother of four , has announced she will be making a return to elite competition(顶级赛事)to swim the one event , having set a qualifying(合格的)time of 30.32 seconds in winning gold at last year's United States Masters championships .

While the youth stood on the landing-place searching in his pocket for money, the ferryman lifted a lantern, by the aid of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a very accurate survey of the stranger's figure. He was a young man of barely eighteen years, evidently country bred, and now, as it seemed, on his first visit to town. He was wearing a tough gray coat, which was in good shape, but which had seen many winters before this. The garments under his coat were well constructed of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of muscular legs; his stockings of blue yarn must have been the work of a mother or sister, and on his head was a three-cornered hat, which in its better days had perhaps sheltered the grayer head of the lad's father. In his left hand was a walking stick, and his equipment was completed by a leather bag not so abundantly stocked as to inconvenience the strong shoulders on which it hung. Brown, curly hair, well-shaped features, bright, cheerful eyes were nature'sgifts, and worth all that art could have done for his adornment. The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already traveled more than thirty miles that day. As he walked, he surveyed his surroundings as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid, instead of the little metropolis of a New England colony.1.The story took place in ____.2. The boatman was willing to take Robin across the river because___.3. The stockings that Robin wore were obviously _____.4. From the way he looked, it was evident that Robin was ____.5.How did Robin appear as he walked into the town?第 1 空选项A. springB. summerC. fallD. winter第 2 空选项A. he wanted to make extra money.B. he saw that Robin was young and rich.C. he was going to row across the river anyway.D. he felt sorry for him because Robin looked poor.第 3 空选项A. worn-outB. very expensiveC. handmadeD. much too big第 4 空选项A. a wealthy merchant's sonB. a country boyC. a soldierD. a foreigner第 5 空选项A. He was cheerful and excited.B. He was tired.C. He seemed very sad.D. He seemed frightened by the strange surroundings.第1空答案 D. winter第2空答案 A. he wanted to make extra money.第3空答案 C. handmade第4空答案 B. a country boy第5空答案 A. He was cheerful and excited.40、 Television ,the modern wonder of electronics, brings the world into your own home in sight and sound,1. And the word "television" means "seeing far".Television works in much the same way as radio. In radio, sound is changed into electromagnetic (invisible light) waves which are sent through the air. Experiments leading to modern television took place more than a hundred years ago. By the 1920s inventors and researchers had turned the early theories into working models.Yet it took another thirty years for TV to become an industry.The influence of TV on the life of people is incalculable: it can influence their thoughts and their way of life. It can also add to their store of knowledge. Educational TV stations offer teaching in various subjects. Some hospitals use TV for medical students to get close-up views of operations. At first television programs were broadcast in black-and -white. With the development of science and technology, the problem of how to telecast them in full color was solved and by the middle 1960s the national networks were broadcasting most of their programs in color.The programs that people watch are not only local and national ones. Since the launching of the first communications satellite, more and more programs are telecast "live" from all over the world. People in San Francisco were able to watch the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo. And live telecasts now come from outer space. In 1969, the first astronauts to land on the moon televised their historic "moon walk" to viewers on the earth. Since then, astronauts have regularly sent telecast to the earth.1. Television is said to be the modern wonder of electronics, because _______.2. Television became an industry in _______.3. The word "incalculable" means______.4. The development of science and technology made it possible for television programs to _______.5. The launching of communications satellites made it possible for people to _______.第 1 空选项A. it is an industryB. it broadcasts most of the programs in colorC. it brings the world into people's own home in sight and soundD. it influences people's thoughts第 2 空选项A. 1920B. 1969C. the l920sD. the 1950s第 3 空选项A. very greatB. uncertainC. hard to tellD. very small第 4 空选项A. be telecast againB. be kept for later useC. be put on video tapeD. be telecast in full color第 5 空选项A. get close up views of operationsB. learn various subjectsC. watch the 1964 Olympic Games in TokyoD. watch local programs第1空答案 C. it brings the world into people's own home in sight and sound第2空答案 D. the 1950s第3空答案 A. very great第4空答案 D. be telecast in full color第5空答案 C. watch the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo41、 Directions: For this part, you are required to writea composition on the topic Smoking Is Dangerous to Health.

It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate这通常很容易让孩子超过他的自然学习速度, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child但这可能会给孩子带来危险的失败感和担忧状态: This might happen at any stage这在任何阶段都可能发生. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early一个婴儿可能会被迫过早地上厕所, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Patents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child’s own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused, andemotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.在抚养孩子的过程中，每个父母都热切地注视着孩子的成长(学会) 在每一项新技能中，第一个说出来的词，第一个独立的词独立步骤，或开始阅读和写作。

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.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.We all know that panic-stricken moment. You drop your mobile phone, frightened, as it drops towards the floor, fearing it will land screen-side down — with shattering results.But now Apple plans to spare you that worry, with an invention that will stop your iPhone hitting the ground face first.The technology giant was granted a patent last week on an invention that can detect when a phone is falling and ensure the screen doesn ’t hit the ground. The idea could also work with iPads and other devices.Apple ’s design features on-board sensors that measure the speed at which the phone is falling and predict when it will land and which side of the phone will hit the floor.If sensors calculate the screen or camera will hit the ground, a motor in the phone is caused to start working instantly. The motor then affects other parts of the device, making it turn quickly around a central point as it falls, so that it lands on a hard area. The effect is similar to how a falling cat always manages to land on its feet.What ’s more, the patent even includes a system that would avoid damage to the connector.Victor Seidel, a lecturer in science entrepreneurship at Oxford University, said, “This does what a lot of successful new approaches do: combine ideas in a way others had not considered.

As we go about our everyday lives, we mentally attempt to place people in terms of their statuses. For example, we must judge whether the person in the library is a reader or a librarian, whether the telephone caller is a friend or a salesman, whether the unfamiliar person on our property is thief or a meter reader, and so on.The statuses we assume often vary with the people we encounter, and change throughout life. Most of us can, at very high speed, assume the statuses that various situations require. Much of social interaction consists of identifying and selecting among appropriate statuses and allowing other people to assume their statuses in relation to us. This means that we fit our actions to those of other people based on a constant mental process of appraisal and interpretation. Although some of us find the task more difficult than others, most of us perform it rather effortlessly.A status has been compared to ready-made clothes. Within certain limits, the buyer can choose style and fabric. But an American is not free to choose the costume (服装) of a Chinese peasant or that of a Hindu prince. We must choose from among the clothing presented by our society. Furthermore, our choice is limited to a size that will fit, as well as by our pocketbook (钱包). Having made a choice within these limits we can have certain alterations made, but apart from minor adjustments, we tend to be limited to what the stores have on their racks. Statuses too come ready made, and the range of choice among them is limited.16. In the first paragraph, the writer tells us that statuses can help us ________.A) determine whether a person is fit for a certain jobB) behave appropriately in relation to other peopleC) protect ourselves in unfamiliar situationsD) make friends with other people17. According to the writer, people often assume different statuses ________.A) in order to identify themselves with others B) in order to better identify othersC) as their mental processes change D) as the situation changes18. The word “appraisal ” (Line 5, Para. 2) most probably means “________”.A) involvement B) appreciation C) assessment D) presentation19. In the last sentence of the second paragraph, the pronoun “it ” refers to “________”.A) fitting our actions to those of other people appropriatelyB) identification of other people ’s statuses终稿C) selecting one ’s own statusesD) constant mental process20. By saying that “an American is not free to choose the costume of a Chinese peasant or that of aHindu prince ” (Line 2-3, Para. 3), the writer means ________.A) different people have different styles of clothesB) ready-made clothes may need alterationsC) statuses come ready made just like clothesD) our choice of statuses is limitedPassage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.After the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report: The damage and death toll (死亡人数) could have been much worse.More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, as earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25,000 victims.Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake occurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city ’s highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city ’s buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren ’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints (蓝图) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place.In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood that bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports. Called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake ’s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction.The new smart structures could be very expensive to build. However, they would save many lives and would be less likely to be damaged during earthquakes.21. One reason why the loss of lives in the Los Angeles earthquake was comparatively low is that________.A) new computers had been installed in the buildingsB) it occurred in the residential areas rather than on the highwaysC) large numbers of Los Angeles residents had gone for a holidayD) improvements had been made in the construction of buildings and highways22. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to ________.A) counterbalance an earthquake ’s action on the buildingB) predict the coming of an earthquake with accuracyC) help strengthen the foundation of the buildingD) measure the impact of an earthquake ’s vibrations23. The smart buildings discussed in the passage ________.A) would cause serious financial problems终稿B) would be worthwhile though costlyC) would increase the complexity of architectural designD) can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes24. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthquakes attentionshould be focused on ________.A) the increasing use of rubber and steel in capital constructionB) the development of flexible building materialsC) the reduction of the impact of ground vibrationsD) early forecasts of earthquakes25. The author ’s main purpose in writing the passage is to ________.A) compare the consequences of the earthquakes that occurred in the U.S.B) encourage civil engineers to make more extensive use of computersC) outline the history of the development of quake-resistant building materialsD) report new developments in constructing quake-resistant buildingsPassage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.“... The two big advantages I had at birth were to have been born wise and to have been born in poverty...It gave me one big advantage: none of my troubles or problems as an adult could throw me.”Sophia Loren was born in a charity ward for unmarried women in Rome in 1934. Her father Riccardo Scicolone officially recognized the child, but refused to marry the mother. Though her mother had a hard time raising her, Loren still has vivid memories of her younger years. “When I was a child, fear was common to my life — fear of having nothing to eat, fear of other children taunting me at school because I was illegitimate (私生的), and particularly fear of the big bombers appearing overhead and dropping their deadly burst from the sky.”Loren was a very young girl, when she saw the first Hollywood films. “I was filled with the feeling that that ’s what I was put on earth to do, to act, to let out whatever feelings I had inside.”However, it took a long time before Sophia was offered her first role in a film. She failed the screen tests one after the other, and it seemed as if there was no way for her to become an actress. What the cameramen could not see at first, was that her inner beauty made her stunning. Remembering the difficulties of the early days of her career, Sophia said, “I was so boldly confident about myself... I have never judged myself by other people ’s standards. I would get to wherever I was destined to go and try to alter my fate.”Sophia ’s acting career began at the age of eighteen in 1952 with her role in a film “ Africa Under the Seas ”. The film did not make a sensation, but did give a good start to the young actress. The dream of a skinny little girl, sitting in a dark movie house, was finally to come true.26. According to the passage, what did Sophia regard poverty as?A) A blessing. B) A curse.C) A disadvantage. D. A way to become wise.27. What can we infer about Sophia ’s school life?A.

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. Passage OneQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external result or product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language –all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they encounter new experiences and unexpected obstacles. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to confront the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow. Do we perceive ourselves as quick and curious? If so, then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we’re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of timidity can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe. Do we think we’re slow to adapt to change or that we’re not smart enough to cope with a newchallenge? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not confront and overcome these internal fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we cease to grow. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.16. A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when .A.he has given up his drinking habitB.he has made great efforts in his workC.he is keen on learning anything newD.he has tried to determine where he is on his journey17. In the author’s eyes, one who views personal growth as a process would.A.succeed in climbing up the social ladderB.judge his ability to grow from his own achievementsC.face difficulties and take up challengesD.aim high and reach his goal each time18. When the author says “a new way of being” (Line 3, Para. 3)he is referring to .A. a new approach to experiencing the world B) a new way of taking risksC. a new method of perceiving ourselves D) a new system of adaptation to change19. For personal growth, the author advocates all of the following except .A.curiosity about more chances B) open-mindedness to new experiencesC) promptness in self-adaptation D) avoidance of internal fears and doubts20. What is the best title of the passage?A) A Product of Growth B) Both Aspects of GrowthC) A Process of Growth D) Growth-Product or ProcessPassage TwoQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one of life’s essentials. Eating breakfasts at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by 33 percent-from 8.8 million to 11.7 million-according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arnold E.Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults. “The literature,” says one researcher, Dr. Ernesto Pollitt at the University of Texas, “is poor.”21. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is ______.A) the year the author wrote the articleB) 1977C) any year between 1977 and 1983D) 198322. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that ______.A) several studies have been done in the past few yearsB) the omission of breakfast do es no harm to one’s healthC) adults have especially made studies in this fieldD) eating little in the morning is good for health23. “…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance” (in Line 13) means ______.A) anyone without breakfast does improve his performanceB) not giving people breakfast improves performanceC) having breakfast does not improve performance, eitherD) people having breakfast do improve their performances, too24. The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to _______.A) written works on a particular subjectB) stories, poems, plays, etc.C) any printed materialD) the modern literature of America25. What can be inferred from the passage is that _________.A) breakfast does not affect performanceB) Dr.Pollitt is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learningC) not eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenD) Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonPassage ThreeQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.One of the strongest reasons for the raising of the school leaving age (ROSLA) has been that it will bring us nearer to the ideal of “equal opportunity”.Many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up the ladder of success for clever children. It would be good to think that no one who is really bright can be missed out when the state system is apparently so thorough. It is obvious, for instance, that many children from less rich homes reach university or do well in other ways.Unfortunately, we now have plenty of evidence that many children of every level of ability do much less well than they could. For instance, during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence of all male 18-20 year olds. Half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability groups had left schools at 15.It has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to university is almost the same now as it was in 1930. One study of 5000 children from birth to 21 years old indicated that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached 16 years old. Moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the sexes, but far more boys than girls stay in education after 16.It is clear from this and much other evidence that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from the prizes —money, social respectability, and interesting jobs, which higher education gives. It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social circumstances. Their parents often need the extra money another wage-earner can bring in; they do not value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy. It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, “It’s up to you”.26. It is hoped that ROSLA will give all children _________.A) a more enjoyable time at school B) the same chances in societyC) the right to a better school D) higher scores in intelligence tests27. People would like to think that __________.A) equal number of poor and rich children reach universityB) those with the least money get the best educationC) intelligent children are always chosen by the systemD) only clever children do well28. Working class children are felt to be at a disadvantage because _________.A) many of the clever ones leave school earlyB) fewer go to university than ever beforeC) more than half leave school when they are 16D) fewer boys than girls stay at school after 1629. Many children leave school early because _________.A) their social circumstances make them unhappyB) they are forced to work early by their parentsC) their schooling is a dull and unhappy experienceD) their parents don’t allow them to make their own decisions30. This article shows that equal opportunity in education___________________.A) is a thing of the past B) has greatly improved our societyC) is there for those who merit it D) has not yet been achievedPassage FourQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.In recent years, a growing body of research has shown that our appetite and food intake are influenced by a large number of factors besides our biological need for energy, including our eating environment and our perception of the food in front of us.Studies have shown, for instance, that eating in front of the TV (or a similar distraction) can increase both hunger and the amount of food consumed. Even simple visual cues, like plate size and lighting, have been shown to affect portion size and consumption.A new study suggested that our short-term memory also may play a role in appetite. Several hours after a meal, people's hunger levels were predicted not by how much they’d eaten but rather by how much food they'd seen in front of them—in other words, how much they remembered eating.This disparity (盖弃）suggests the memory of our previous meal may have a bigger influence on our appetite than the actual size of the meal, says Jeffrey M. Brunstrom, a professorof experimental psychology at the University of Bristol."Hunger isn't controlled solely by the physical characteristics of a recent meal. We have identified an independent role for memory for that meal，" Brunstrom says. "This shows that the relationship between hunger and food intake is more complex than we thought."These findings echo earlier research that suggests our perception of food can sometimes trick our body’s response to the food itself. In a 2011 study, for instance, people who drank the same 380-calorie (卡路里）milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels of hunger-related hormones （荷尔蒙），depending on whether the shake’s label said it contained 620 or 140 calories. Moreover, the participants reported feeling more full when they thought they'd consumed a higher-calorie shake.What does this mean for our eating habits? Although it hardly seems practical to trick ourselves into eating less, the new findings do highlight the benefits of focusing on our food and avoiding TV and multitasking while eating.The so-called mindful-eating strategies can fight distractions and help us control our appetite, Brunstrom says.31. What is said to be a factor affecting our appetite and food intake?A) How we perceive the food we eat. B) What ingredients the food containsC) When we eat our meals. D) How fast we eat our meals.32. What would happen at meal time if you remembered eating a lot in the previous meal?A) You would probably be more picky about food.B) You would not feel like eating the same food.C) You would have a good appetite.D) You would not feel so hungry.33. What do we learn from the 2011 study?A) Food labels may mislead consumers in their purchases.B) Food labels may influence our body’s response to food.C) Hunger levels depend on one's consumption of calories.D) People tend to take in a lot more calories than necessary.34. What does Brunstrom suggest we do to control our appetite?A) Trick ourselves into eating less. B) Choose food with fewer calories.C) Concentrate on food while eating. D) Pick dishes of the right size.35. What is the main idea of the passage?A) Eating distractions often affect our food digestion.B) Psychological factors influence our hunger levels.C) Our food intake is determined by our biological needs.D) Good eating habits will contribute to our health.Part III Vocabulary and structure (15 points)Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

communicate face-to-face,they convey information in several ways apart from by the words they use.Thus,how often they make eye contact and how long they sustain that contact can indicate their degree of intimacy（亲密）,interest in or understanding of what they are communicating verbally.Their posture（姿势）—the way they sit or stand—can reveal attention,interest, disagreement or boredom.The distance they sit or stand from one another and the angle at which they do so can suggest friendship,hostility or respect.These and other forms of nonverbal（非口头的）communication are so pervasive that we usually scarcely notice them.Their importance quickly becomes apparent（明显的）,however,when for some reason they are lacking or unclear.One occasion when most people notice the importance of nonverbal communication is when they are talking on the telephone.There is an unwritten rule of telephone conversations that the listener must supply frequent and regular confirmation that he or she is listening.This is done by saying“Aha, Mmhm.Yes,I see,”and so on.Failure to do this often enough may result in the speaker interrupting him or herself to ask if the other person is“still there.”In face-to-face conversation,this is unnecessary,as attention and understanding are conveyed silently,chiefly by eye contact and posture.Another situation where the importance of nonverbal communication becomes clear is duringcross-cultural communication.It is an instructive experience to travel in a foreign country whose culture is very different from one’s own.Do men shake hands,bow,touch,point,wink,and so on,or are some or all of these behaviors considered rude?How long can eye contact be maintained without indicating something more than polite interest?How close does one stand before being disrespectful or too intimate,how far away before being thought cold or hostile?Features like these can sometimes be more important in a second language than grammatical accuracy or a good accent（口音）.31.People seldom notice the importance of nonverbal communication because__________.A.it is usually lackingB.it is usually unclearC.it is too apparentD.it is too widespread32.In face-to-face communication,you can tell whether the other agrees with you or not by all thefollowing except__________.A.the frequency of his eye contact with youB.the length of his eye contact with youC.the way he sits or standsD.the way he smokes33.In telephone conversation,__________.A.the listener must agree with what the speaker is sayingB.the listener must supply words of confirmationC.the speaker must frequently ask if the listener is still thereD.the speaker must frequently ask questions to catch the listener’s attention34.For a traveler in a foreign country the more important thing than verbal communication is__________.A.a good accent of that country’s languageB.a good command of the grammar of that country’s languageC.a good knowledge of the culture of that countryD.a good knowledge of the history of that country35.According to the passage,cross-cultural communication is an__________experience.A.instructiveB.embarrassingC.excitingD.enjoyingPassage2Internet use appears to cause a decline in psychological well-being,according to a research at Carnegie Mellon University.Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on（登录）less frequently,the two-year study showed.And it wasn’t that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet,but that using the Net actually appeared to cause the bad feelings.Researchers are puzzled over the results,which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television,since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may explain the drop in well-being,researchers hypothesized（假设）.Faceless,bodiless“virtual”communication may be lesspsychologically satisfying than actual conversation,and the relationships formed through it may be shallower.Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world via the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.“But it’s important to remember this is not about the technology itself;it’s about how it is used.”says psychologist Christine Riley,one of the study’s sponsors（发起人）.“It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology.”36.It can be learned from the passage that___________.A.people having bad feelings spend more time on the InternetB.the Internet makes its users psychologically healthyC.Internet use may cause its users’depressionD.people use the Internet less frequently than before37.The fact that the Internet proved less socially healthy than television___________.A.was what the researchers had expectedB.went against the researchers’expectationC.was well understood by the researchersD.was a puzzle the researchers had solved38.According to the passage,one of the possible reasons why Internet use leads to a decline in itsusers’well-being is that___________.A.Internet users spend less time with their friends and familiesB.Internet users can’t get satisfaction from the InternetC.the Internet prevents its users from communicating with their familiesD.people can’t establish lasting relationships with others on the Internet39.In the last paragraph,Christine Riley points out that as to the decline in Internet users’well-being,___________.A.the technology itself should be held responsibleB.it is no fault of the technology itselfC.the blame lies with Internet usersD.the Net itself should take responsibility for it40.It is suggested in discussing problems caused by Internet use that___________.A.Internet users should spend less time on the InternetB.Internet users should have more conversation with their friendsC.social factors should be considered in devising applications for technologyD.a wider range of services should be made availablePassage3Banks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts;they relied on depositors（储户）not to demand payment all at the same time.If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not sound,that it cannot pay off all its depositors,then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did,the bank could not pay all accounts.However,if they did not all appear at once,then there would always be funds to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it.Mrs.Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced.One day in December of1925several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs.Vaught lived.The other banks anticipated a run the next day,so the officers of the bank in which Mrs.Vaught worked as a teller（出纳员）had enough funds on hand to pay off as many depositors as might apply.The officers simply instructed the tellers to pay on demand.Next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside.The length of the line convinced many that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone.People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’windows.Clothing was torn and limbs broken,but the jam continued for hours.The power of the panic atmosphere is evident in the fact that two tellers,though they knew that the bank was sound and could pay out all depositors,nevertheless withdrew the funds in their own accounts.Mrs.Vaught says that she had difficulty restraining herself from doing the same.41.A bank run occurs when__________.A.a bank is closed for one or more daysB.too many depositors attempt to draw out their money at one timeC.there is not enough money to pay all of its depositors at one timeD.employees of a bank take their own funds out of the bank42.What happened to some of the customers of Mrs.Vaught’s bank?A.They were injured.B.They lost their money.C.They had to leave part of their money in the bank.D.They were forced to put their money into other banks.43.The tellers in Mrs.Vaught’s bank were told to__________.A.explain why they could not pay out all depositorsB.pay out deposits as requestedC.assure customers that the bank was soundD.pay out money as slowly as possible44.The essential cause of a run on a bank is__________.A.loss of confidenceck of sufficient fundsC.crowds of peopleD.inefficient tellers45.According to the passage,the actions of the customers of Mrs.Vaught’s bank were influencedchiefly by__________.A.the ease with which they could obtain their moneyB.the confidence demonstrated by other customers of the bankC.the confidence that Mrs.Vaught demonstratedD.the failure of several other banks to openIII.Blank-filling(15%)One result of this practice is that the Japanese worker identifies closely with his company and feels__46__loyalty to it.By working hard for the company,he believes he is protecting his own future.It is not surprising that__47__to one’s company is considered a great__48__in Japan.A man is often prepared to put his firm’s interests before__49__of his immediate family.The job security__50__by this system influences the way Japanese employees__51__their work.They tend to think__52__terms of what they achieve throughout their career.This is__53__ they are not judged on how they are performing during a short period of time,perhaps when they are __54__pressure to increase company earnings.They can afford to take a longer__55__than Western workers.This marriage between the employee and the company,the__56__of lifetime employment,may explain__57__Japanese workers seem__58__to love the products their company is producing and why they are__59__to stay on after work,for little overtime pay,to__60__in earnest discussions about the quality control of their products.A.participateB.becauseC.intenseD.consequenceE.underF.virtueG.willingH.whyI.devotionJ.approachK.those L.guaranteed M.positively N.perspective O.inIV.Translation from Chinese into English(10%)61.It is said that those who are stressed or working overtime are____________________（更有可能增加体重）.62.We look forward to_____________________________（被邀请出席开幕式）.63.The manager never laughed;neither______________________（她也从来没有发过脾气）.64.It is suggested that the air conditioner___________________________（要安装在窗户旁）.65.The16-year-old girl decided to travel abroad on her own despite__________________（她父母的强烈反对）.V.Writing(15%)Directions:For this part,please write a short essay on the topic of“Buying Books Online”.You should write no less than100words following the outline given below.1、网上购书成为时尚2、网上购书的优势3、我的看法Key to Vocabulary&ReadingI.Vocabulary1~5BCBAC6~10AADBA11~15ABAAD16~20DACDC21~25BADBD26~30ADCDBII.Reading Comprehension31~35DDBCA36~40CBABC41~45BABAD。

Reading Comprehension (30%)Passage 1Science and technology are productive forces. The scientific and technological revolution has played a very important role in the high-speed development of the economies of western countries including the United States since the war.Right before the end of the Second World War, the U.S. achieved prominent breakthroughs in the three fields of atomic energy, electronic computers and space navigation. These three great inventions, together with other inventions in military scope, were applied to civil industries in the postwar period, which has led to the third great scientific and technological revolution in man’s history. It was originated（起源于）from the U.S. and it benefited the U.S. most.The first computer came into being in 1945 and in the same year, the first atomic bomb was tested. Soon after the first man-made earth satellite of the Soviet Union was sent into the sky in 1957, the U.S. launched her earth satellite into the orbit. Then the U.S. started an unprecedented（前所未有的）Apollo program, with the aim of sending man to the moon within a decade. The project was successfully carried out and in 1969, for the first time in man’s history, two human beings landed on the moon. It was the most remarkable triumph（成就）in the twentieth century.Science has been greatly responsible for the rise on big business, as it has given industry certain technological advances, such as assembly-line production, automation. Since World War II, the computer has produced major changes in our way of doing things. Computers have also helped social scientists to take a more experimental view of humans and their universe.31. The U.S. accomplished three great inventions ___________.A. in military scopeB. for civil industriesC. before the end of the World War IID. together with Britain32. The third great scientific and technological revolution could be attributed to ___________.A. the application of many inventions to civil industriesB. Allied Forces’ victory of the warC. the Apollo programD. the expedition into the outer space33. The first atomic bomb was tested ___________.A. before 1945B. in 1945C. in 1957D. after 195734. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The Soviet Union first sent man-made satellite into the space.B. The U.S. first sent human to the moon.C. The first computer was made in 1945.D. Computers can help social scientists do experiments in the universe.35. The best title for the passage is ___________.A. The importance of the World War IIB. The important role of computers in experimentsC. The impact of science on usD. Space competition between the two superpowersPassage 2Airline companies are responsible for transporting your luggage. If you cannot recover it at the point of arrival, you must inform the airline immediately. They will carry out the necessary search. If the luggage is recovered, it will be delivered to your place of residence. If you wish to insure your luggage, you may do so at your own expense.Some airlines restrict luggage weight to 44 pounds (20kg); in other cases, there is no weight restriction, but you are not allowed more than two pieces of luggage. Inquire about luggage allowances from the airline with which you will be traveling. However, you must pay extra for excess luggage, which is not reimbursed（补偿）by Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).Each suitcase, bag or package must be clearly labeled with your name and destination（目的地）. If you do not know the exact destination address at the time of your departure, label your luggage in care of（由……代收）the executing agency whose name appears in the Training Agreement, using the following model:Surname, first nameName of your countryAddress of the executing agencyCity, country, postal codeTelephone number of executing agencyIf you do not have this information, please label your luggage with the name and address of the institution you are to attend in Canada.

Every person is registered with a doctor in his or her local area, known as a general practitioner（全科医生）or GP. This means that their names are on the GP’s list, and they may make an appointment to see the doctor or may call the doctor out to visit them if they are ill. People sometimes do have to pay part of the cost of drugs that the doctor prescribes. GPs are trained in general medicine but are not specialists in any particular subject. If a patient needs to see a specialist doctor, they must first go to their GP and then the GP will make an appointment for the patient to see a specialist at a hospital or clinic.Although everyone in Britain can have free treatment under the NHS, it is also possible for him to have treatment done privately, for which he has to pay. Some people have private health insurance to help them pay for private treatment. Under the NHS, people who need to go to hospital may have to wait for a long time on a waiting list for their treatment. Anyone who is very ill can call an ambulance （救护车）and get taken to hospital for free urgent medical treatment. Ambulances are a free service in Britain.41.

My friend was puzzled that I did not want what was obviously a “step up”toward what allAmericans are taught to want when they grow up: money and power.V.

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 decideon the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line throughthe center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Some psychologists(心理学家) maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performedin the brain alone, but that one' s muscles also participate. (76) It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to music not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music without moving their body or, more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one listens to a symphonic concert on the radio, heis attracted to direct the orchestra (乐队) even though he knows there is a good conductor on thejob.Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment from music unless he participates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener"feels" himself into the music with more or less noticeable motions of his body.( 77 ) The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process of thinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious because it is less noticeable.1. Some psychologists think that thinking isA. not a mental processB. more of a physical process than a mental actionC. a process that involves our entire bodiesD. a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain2. The process of thinking and that of listening to music are similar in thatA. both are mental actsB. muscles participate in both processesC. both processes are performed by the entire bodyD. we derive equal enjoyment from them3. Few people are able to listen to familiar music withoutA. moving some part of their bodyB. stopping what they are doing to listenC. directing the orchestra playing itD. wishing that they could conduct music properly4. The listener's way of "feeling" the music isA. the unnoticed motion of his musclesB. "participating" in the performanceC. bending an ear to the musicD. being the conductor of the orchestra5. According to the passage, muscle participation in the process of thinking isA. deliberateB. ApparentC. indistinctD. impressivePassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. (78) The meanings of. thousands of everyday perceptions , the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory. Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includes not only "remembering" things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involving any change in the way an animal typically behaves. (79)Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain be- cause he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six- year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat.Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. puters, for example, contain devices for storing data for later use. It is interesting topare the memory-storage capacity of a puter with that of a human being. The instant-accessmemory ofa large puter may hold up to 100,000 " words" --ready for instant use. An averageU.S. teenager probably recognizes the meaning of about 100,000 words of English. However, thisis but a fraction of the total amount of information which the teenager has stored. Consider, for example, the number of faces and places that the teenager can recognize on sight. The use of words is the basis of the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings.A large part of a person' s memory is in terms of words and binations of words.6. According to the passage, memory is considered to beA. the basis for decision making and problem solvingB. an ability to store experiences for future useC. an intelligence typically possessed by human beingsD. the data mainly consisting of words and binations of words7. The parison made between the memory capacity of a large puter and that of a human being shows thatA. the puter' s memory has a little bigger capacity than a teenager' sB. the puter' s memory capacity is much smaller that an adult human being' sC. the puter' s memory capacity is much smaller even than a teenager' sD. both A and B8. The whole passage implies thatA. only human beings have problem-solving intelligenceB. a person' s memory is different from a puter' s in every respectC. animals are able to solve only very simple problemsD. animals solve problems by instincts rather than intelligence9. The phrase "in terms of" in the last sentence can best be replaced byA. "in connection with"B. "expressed by"C. "consisting"D. "by means of"10. The topic of the passage is:A. What would life be like without memory ?B. Memory is of vital importance to life.C. How is a person' s memory different from an animal' s or a puter' s?D. What is contained in memory ?Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money tobuy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of thingsas money. One of the first kinds of money was shells.Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In some parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too.The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place.Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins of gold and silver.But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. (80) The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today. Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.11. Which of the following can be cited as an example of the use of money in exchange for services?A. To sell a bicycle for $20.B. To get some money for old books at a garage sale.C. To buy things you need or want.D. To get paid for your work.12. Where were shells used as money in history?A. In the Philippines.C. In Africa.D. We don' t know.13. Why, according to the passage, did ancient Chinese coins have a square hole in the center?A. Because it would be easier to put them together and carry them around.B. Because it would be lighter for people to carry them from place to place.C. Because people wanted to make it look nicer.D. Because people wanted to save the expensive metal they were made from.14. Why does the author say that even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy some- thing expensive?A. Because they are easy to steal.B. Because they are difficult for people to obtain.C. Because they are not easy to carry around.D. Because they themselves are expensive, too.15. Which do you choose as the best title for this passage?A. Money and Its UsesB. Different Things Used as MoneyC. Different Countries, Different MoneyD.

2014年成人本科学士学位英语模拟试题一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 revealed 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 factors which 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 accidents B) injured in accidentsC) possible to die in accidents D) responsible for road accidents9. What can we infer about the author’ opinio n 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 areneglected, 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. B y “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 staffed by 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 thinkI 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.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfin-ished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should de-cide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:England is not a big country: from north to south and from east to west it is only about three hundred miles across. (76) But for a small country .it has a surprising range of climate. People who have never visited England, or who have visited only one part of it, often make the mistake of thinking that it is a cold and wet country. Except for the summer months of June to September, this is probably true of the north of England and the Midlands, In the south, however, the climate is much more pleasant. One result is that when people retire from a job in the north they often prefer to move down to the milder south.Perhaps the warmest part of the country is the southwest, which consists of the counties of Devon and Cornwall. The warm Gulf Stream flows across the North Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Mexico and makes the coastal regions of the southwest quite warm. Palm trees, bamboo (竹) and many semi-tropical ( 亚热带的) plants grow well in the southwest of England. Flowers and vegetables ripen (成熟) as much as a month earlier than those elsewhere. Farmers in the area obtain a higher price for their vegetables and flowers because they are ready earlier. (77) In winter there may be several feet of snow in other parts of England but there will probably be no snow at all in the southwest. This may be one of the reasons why the southwest is one of England' s most popular holiday areas.1. The distance from the center of England to the south coast is aboutA. one hundred milesB. three hundred milesC. one hundred and fifty milesD. six hundred miles2. England is a countryA. with a cold and wet climateB. with a surprising climateC. with a pleasant climateD. with a variety of climates3. According to the passage,A. flowers and vegetables from Devon are on the market one month earlierB. farmers in the southwest grow as many vegetables and flowers as farmers elsewhereC. people in the southwest have to pay a higher price for vegetables and flowersD. vegetables in Cornwall ripen as much as a month earlier than flowers4. In the north of England and the Midlands,A. it is cold and wet all the year roundB. the climate is pleasant as a wholeC. it is warm most of the time in a yearD. only the summer is not cold or wet5. In winter, people in Devon and CornwallA. seldom see snowB. never see any snowC. may have several feet of snowD. often see snowPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage :How can we get rid of garbage? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs?These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the same time it can save the land to hold garbage.For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped (倾倒) it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. However, garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil (化石) fuels. As we use up our fossil fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source.Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years. (78) The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil wa- ter. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Paris, France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the cities garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half mil- lion barrels of oil.Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. (79) Burning garbage might be one kind of energysource that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount of gar-bage piling up on the earth.6. What two problems can man solve by burning garbage?A. The shortage of energy and air pollution.B. The shortage of energy and the land to hold garbage.C. Air pollution and the shortage of fossil fuel.D. Air pollution and the shortage of land to hold garbage.7. Which of the following is not the result of burning garbage?A. The garbage burned is turned into fossil fuels.B. The heat produced is used to boil water.C. The steam produced is used to make electricity.D. The steam produced is used to heat buildings.8. According to the passage which of the following is NOT true?A. About 2 million metric tons of garbage is burned in some power plants in Pads, France each year.B. In a modem society, more and more garbage is produced each year.C. Using garbage is a good way to solve the problem of energy shortage.D. It will be too expensive to use garbage as an energy source.9.What is the author's attitude?A. Delighted.B. Sad.C. Agreeing.D. Disagreeing.10. The best title for the passage may beA. Garbage and the EarthB. Fossil Fuel and GarbageC. Land and GarbageD. Garbage--Energy SourcePassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Fire can help people in many ways. But it can be very dangerous. Fire can heat water, warm houses, give light and cook. But fire can bum things, too. It can bum trees, houses, animals or people. Sometimes big fires can bum forests.Nobody knows for sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting stories about the first time a man or a woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope (绳子) and brought fire down.Today people know how to make a fire with matches (火柴) . Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can bum a piece of paper and then it might burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire very fast. Fire kills many people every year. So you must be careful with matches. You should also learn to put out fires. (80) Fires need oxygen(氧气). Without oxygen they will die. Cover a fire with water, sand, or sometimes with your coat. This keeps the air away from a fire and kills it. Be careful with fire, and it will helpyou. Be careless with fire, and it will burn you.11. How did people begin to use fire?A. Not everybody knows how people began to use fire.B. Nobody knows how to make a fire.C. It is an Australian who started a fire.D. We are not sure how people began to use fire.12. Children mustn' t play with matches becauseA. matches burn paperB. it isn' t interestingC. they can be dangerousD. they can burn a house13. When you are going to put out a fire, youA. must be carefulB. should keep air away from itC. must know it is dangerousD. should cover it with water14. We must be careful with fire, or itA. will dieB. will warm our housesC. might burn usD. won' t help us15. Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?A. Fire can help people in many ways.B. Fire can be both helpful and dangerous.C. Fire can burn things and people.D. We must be careful with matches.Part 11 Vocabulary and Structure (30 % )Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences. For each sentence there are four choices marked A,B, C and D.

Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneWhy don’t birds get lost on the ir long migratory flights? Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years. Now they’re beginning to fill in the blanks. Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly mainly by night? Tests with artificial stars have proved conclusively that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights.One such bird—a warbler (鸣禽)—had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird’s cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky at migration time. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the position of the make-believe stars caused a change in the direction of his flight,Scientists think that warblers, when flying in dayflight, use the sun for guidance. But the stars are apparently their chief means of direction-finding. What do they do when the stars are hidden by clouds? Apparently they find their way by such landmarksas mountain ranges, coast line, and river courses. But when it’s too dark to see these, the warblers circle helplessly, unable to get their directions.16. The reasons why birds don’t get lost on migratory flights _____.A. are known to everyoneB. will probably remain unknownC. have been discovered only recentlyD. have been known to scientists for years17. Birds that fly mainly at night follow _____.A. the starsB. the moonC. artificial starsD. the natural sky18. The experiment with the warbler indicated that ______.A. some birds cannot fly at nightB. birds have to be taught to find directionsC. a bird that has been caged will not migrateD. some birds can follow the stars when flying at night19. Warblers migrate ______.A. only once during their lifetimeB. when they are freed from their cagesC. using what is apparently an inborn abilityD. only with the guidance of his outdoor cousins20. When the stars are hidden by clouds, ______.A. warblers circle helplesslyB. warblers rely on landmarksC. warblers can’t see mountain rangesD. warblers are unable to get their directionsPassage TwoThe three biggest lies in America are: (1) “The check is in the mail.” (2) “Of course I’ll respect you in the morning.” (3) “It was a computer error.”Of these three little white lies, the worst is by far the third. It’s the only one that can never be true. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say: “It was a computer error.” Nonsense. The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cash register in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation: “It was a computer error.”It wasn’t, of course. That high-tech cash register is really nothing more than an electric eye. The eye reads the Universal Product Code —that bar of black and white lines in a corner of the package —and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory. If the price list is right, you’ll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day —that is, somebody sits at a keyboardand types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow “a computer error” is supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge, modern computers are “electric brains” with “artificial intelligence.” At some point there might be a machine with intelligence, but none exists today. The smartest computer on Earth right now is no more “intelligent” than your average pen. At this point in the development of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do.21. Of the three errors, the computer error is the worst because ______.A. the computer says nonsenseB. the computer cheats customersC. the computer does not admit its errorD. the computer does not make the error22. We are told that a high-tech cash register is really just ______.A. a simple adding machineB. a machine to receive moneyC. an electric instrument of sightD. an instrument for printing codes23. Grocery store price lists are updated by ____.A. a computerB. a keyboardC. an employeeD. an electric brain24. The computer can do many things because _______.A. it is very cleverB. it has men behind itC. it has a good memoryD. it will never make mistakes25. Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?A. Computers are stupid and inefficientB. Computers help stores update the price listC. Computer errors are basically human errorsD. Supermarket price errors are due to dishonestyPassage ThreeI came across an old country guide the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village in many parts of the country, and it was impressive to see the great variety of services which were available on one’s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.Nowadays a traveller in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the inhabitants or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a contradiction of village comme rce, but its power is stillremarkable.Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket. And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value.His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old age retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced figure, instantly obtains it for them.26.The services in villages nowadays _____.A. are decliningB. are still very activeC. are active in selling antiques to visitorsD. are not able to meet the villagers’ demands27. The local grocer’s shop is expanding _____.A. because it is a place for women to chatB. even though town shops are convenientC. because personal service is available only thereD. even though town shops sell a bit cheaper goods28. The writer implies that one disadvantage of town shops is that ______.A. their prices are too higherB. people cannot telephone themC. people must queue up to buy goodsD. their staff make fewer efforts to satisfy customers29. How do village grocer’s assistants feel about giving extra service?A. They don’t think it is a trouble.B. They don’t think it worthwhile.C. They are very reluctant to offer it.D. They think it pleasant to deliver the cheese on bicycle.30. Another aspect of personal service available in the village shop is that ______.A. there is a very wide range of goods availableB. rare goods are obtained whenever they are neededC. goods are always restocked a little before they run outD. special attention is given to the needs of richer customersPassage FourWater problems in the future will become more intense and more complex. Our increasing population will tremendously increase urban wastes, primarily sewage. On the other hand, increasing demands for water will decrease the amount of water available for treating wastes. Rapidly expanding industries which involve more and more complexchemical processes will produce larger volumes of liquid wastes, and many of these will contain chemicals which are poisonous. To feed our rapidly expanding population, agriculture will have to be intensified. This will involve ever-increasing quantities of agricultural chemicals. From this, it is apparent that measures must be taken immediately to develop corrective measures for the pollution problem.There are two ways by which this pollution problem can be dwelt with. The first relates to the treatment of wastes to decrease their pollution. This involves the processing of solid wastes before disposal and the treatment of liquid wastes to permit the re-use of the water or reduce pollution upon final disposal.A second approach is to develop an economic use for all or a part of the wastes. Liquid wastes from sewage disposal plants are used in some areas for watering agricultural land. Liquid wastes from other processing plants may also be used as a new source of water. Many industries are currently changing former waste products into marketable byproducts (副产品). Other industries are exploring potential economic uses for their waste products.31. The purpose of this passage is _____.A. to explain industrial uses of waterB. to let the reader know water pollution problemsC. to demonstrate how to solve the pollution problemD. to remind the reader of the decreasing water supply32. Which of the following points is NOT included in the passage?A. Treating wastes needs certain amount of water.B. Intensive agriculture requires more and more chemicals.C. Demands for water will rise with the expanding pollution.D. Industrial development needs simpler chemical processes.33. The phrase “sewage disposal” in the last paragraph means _____.A. treatment of liquid wastesB. watering agricultural plantsC. processing agricultural plantsD. emptying waste water into rivers34. It can be concluded that ______.A. byproducts from wastes lead to a prosperous marketB. countries of the world work together on water problemsC. some industries are now making economic use of wastesD. great progress has been made in increasing water supply35. The author develops the passage through the use of _____.A. opinions and personal observationsB. the evidence from scientific researchC. definitions which clarify important termsD. interviews with experts in the field of water controlsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

Graduating students should adjust their expectation accordingly. On the one hand, they should modify their job ideals. For instance, they should no longer target at a well-paid job. If they aim too high, they will feel all the more disappointed at the harsh reality. On the other hand, they can do some work with little or no pay just to gain some experience. One can even try to get self-employed by running a business of his own.In fact, a good attitude toward job-hunting will prepare one better for the bright future when economy recovers. （121 words）文章来源：/p/ck.html 更多成考资源资料下载完全免费。

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. Passage OneQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external result or product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a promotion, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language –all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since by definition it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they encounter new experiences and unexpected obstacles. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to confront the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is essential to our ability to grow. Do we perceive ourselves as quick and curious? If so, then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we’re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of timidity can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and not to take a step until we know the ground is safe. Do we think we’re slow to adapt to change or that we’re not smart enough to cope with a newchallenge? Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we do not confront and overcome these internal fears and doubts, if we protect ourselves too much, then we cease to grow. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.16. A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when .A.he has given up his drinking habitB.he has made great efforts in his workC.he is keen on learning anything newD.he has tried to determine where he is on his journey17. In the author’s eyes, one who views personal growth as a process would.A.succeed in climbing up the social ladderB.judge his ability to grow from his own achievementsC.face difficulties and take up challengesD.aim high and reach his goal each time18. When the author says “a new way of being” (Line 3, Para. 3)he is referring to .A. a new approach to experiencing the world B) a new way of taking risksC. a new method of perceiving ourselves D) a new system of adaptation to change19. For personal growth, the author advocates all of the following except .A.curiosity about more chances B) open-mindedness to new experiencesC) promptness in self-adaptation D) avoidance of internal fears and doubts20. What is the best title of the passage?A) A Product of Growth B) Both Aspects of GrowthC) A Process of Growth D) Growth-Product or ProcessPassage TwoQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one of life’s essentials. Eating breakfasts at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by 33 percent-from 8.8 million to 11.7 million-according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakfast does not affect performance,” said Arnold E.Bender, former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults. “The literature,” says one researcher, Dr. Ernesto Pollitt at the University of Texas, “is poor.”21. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is ______.A) the year the author wrote the articleB) 1977C) any year between 1977 and 1983D) 198322. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that ______.A) several studies have been done in the past few yearsB) the omission of breakfast do es no harm to one’s healthC) adults have especially made studies in this fieldD) eating little in the morning is good for health23. “…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance” (in Line 13) means ______.A) anyone without breakfast does improve his performanceB) not giving people breakfast improves performanceC) having breakfast does not improve performance, eitherD) people having breakfast do improve their performances, too24. The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to _______.A) written works on a particular subjectB) stories, poems, plays, etc.C) any printed materialD) the modern literature of America25. What can be inferred from the passage is that _________.A) breakfast does not affect performanceB) Dr.Pollitt is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learningC) not eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenD) Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonPassage ThreeQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.One of the strongest reasons for the raising of the school leaving age (ROSLA) has been that it will bring us nearer to the ideal of “equal opportunity”.Many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up the ladder of success for clever children. It would be good to think that no one who is really bright can be missed out when the state system is apparently so thorough. It is obvious, for instance, that many children from less rich homes reach university or do well in other ways.Unfortunately, we now have plenty of evidence that many children of every level of ability do much less well than they could. For instance, during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence of all male 18-20 year olds. Half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability groups had left schools at 15.It has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to university is almost the same now as it was in 1930. One study of 5000 children from birth to 21 years old indicated that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached 16 years old. Moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the sexes, but far more boys than girls stay in education after 16.It is clear from this and much other evidence that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from the prizes —money, social respectability, and interesting jobs, which higher education gives. It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social circumstances. Their parents often need the extra money another wage-earner can bring in; they do not value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy. It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, “It’s up to you”.26. It is hoped that ROSLA will give all children _________.A) a more enjoyable time at school B) the same chances in societyC) the right to a better school D) higher scores in intelligence tests27. People would like to think that __________.A) equal number of poor and rich children reach universityB) those with the least money get the best educationC) intelligent children are always chosen by the systemD) only clever children do well28. Working class children are felt to be at a disadvantage because _________.A) many of the clever ones leave school earlyB) fewer go to university than ever beforeC) more than half leave school when they are 16D) fewer boys than girls stay at school after 1629. Many children leave school early because _________.A) their social circumstances make them unhappyB) they are forced to work early by their parentsC) their schooling is a dull and unhappy experienceD) their parents don’t allow them to make their own decisions30. This article shows that equal opportunity in education___________________.A) is a thing of the past B) has greatly improved our societyC) is there for those who merit it D) has not yet been achievedPassage FourQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.In recent years, a growing body of research has shown that our appetite and food intake are influenced by a large number of factors besides our biological need for energy, including our eating environment and our perception of the food in front of us.Studies have shown, for instance, that eating in front of the TV (or a similar distraction) can increase both hunger and the amount of food consumed. Even simple visual cues, like plate size and lighting, have been shown to affect portion size and consumption.A new study suggested that our short-term memory also may play a role in appetite. Several hours after a meal, people's hunger levels were predicted not by how much they’d eaten but rather by how much food they'd seen in front of them—in other words, how much they remembered eating.This disparity (盖弃）suggests the memory of our previous meal may have a bigger influence on our appetite than the actual size of the meal, says Jeffrey M. Brunstrom, a professorof experimental psychology at the University of Bristol."Hunger isn't controlled solely by the physical characteristics of a recent meal. We have identified an independent role for memory for that meal，" Brunstrom says. "This shows that the relationship between hunger and food intake is more complex than we thought."These findings echo earlier research that suggests our perception of food can sometimes trick our body’s response to the food itself. In a 2011 study, for instance, people who drank the same 380-calorie (卡路里）milkshake on two separate occasions produced different levels of hunger-related hormones （荷尔蒙），depending on whether the shake’s label said it contained 620 or 140 calories. Moreover, the participants reported feeling more full when they thought they'd consumed a higher-calorie shake.What does this mean for our eating habits? Although it hardly seems practical to trick ourselves into eating less, the new findings do highlight the benefits of focusing on our food and avoiding TV and multitasking while eating.The so-called mindful-eating strategies can fight distractions and help us control our appetite, Brunstrom says.31.
