Choose one best answer.Passage OneOne of the most interesting experiments in electronic communicationI've ever seen is coming from Wave. It's real-time e-mail. What that means is that as you're typing a message in Wave, either a new message or a reply, the person you’re writing to can see what you're typing as you type it. Sounds awful, right?You don’t have to use Wave in this real-time way. It also works as a standard e-mail. What’s really different about Wave is that ifyou’re replying to a message and the person you're replying to happen to be online, they can jump into the conversation at that point, and change what is an e-mail conversation into an instant message conversation or a chat.Wave right now is still closed to most users. And Wave isn't yet connected to other communication systems, like regular e-mail, which means that the only people we can Wave with are other people on Wave as well. So we don’t yet know what using Wave will be like once it gets crowded like e-mail. Also, the technology behind Wave is far more demanding on servers and the Internet itself than regular e-mail or chat, so we don’t know if the technology will work at scale.But Wave really is a current re-think of e-mail. A lot of people won’t like it. A lot of people didn’t like e-mail either when it first showed up. But people will find real uses for Wave or whatever it becomes, and it's one of the most interesting new takes on communication. Even if you don't like it, it will make you think differently about e-mail.36. What is special about Wave?A. It makes people see each other online.B. It enables people to send real-time e-mails.C. It allows you to send more e-mails at the same time.D. It can be easily connected to other communication systems.37. It is uncertain that Wave will work on a large scale because______.A. people cannot find practical uses for itB. it will be a challenge to regular e-mailC. the technology it needs is more complicatedD. many people do not understand how it works38. We know from the last paragraph that ______.A. Wave is a basis for face-to-face communication on lineB. Wave allows people to look at e-mail from a new angleC. most Internet users will have access to WaveD. Wave is now as popular as standard e-mail39. What is the author's attitude toward Wave?A. Optimistic.B. Indifferent.C. Pessimistic.D. Critical.Passage TwoWell, it could not have got better for young Kavya Shivashankar, a13-year-old student from Olathe, Kansas as she came out very successfully at the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2009 (2009全美拼写大赛). On Thursday night she defeated the other 11 finalists to win the 82nd Scripps National Spelling Bee, taking home more than $40,000 cash money along with other prizes.Kavya Shivashankar, whose parents migrated to the United States from India, and who aims to become a doctor, enjoys playing the violin, bicycling, swimming and learning Indian classical dance.Thing came a bit late in Kavya’s life since she could win the championship with her fourth appearance in the competition. The last three times when she had taken part in the same competition she had finished Tenth, Eighth and Fourth.However, this time Kavya proved her courage and determination by winning the title she had been competing for so long. Her last challenge was to spell out " Laodicean". The word" Laodieean" means one who is indifferent, mostly in religious matters. She spelled it correctly and a big smile appeared on her face. Kavya wrote the words on her palm each time and spelled every word correctly.After winning Kavya exelaimed," I can’t believe it happened It feels kind of unreal. " Her family was there to support her through the competition. Her father, Mirle Shivashankar said, "The competitiveness is in her.., but she doesn’t show that. She still has that smile. That’s her quality. " He went on to say that this was" the moment" they had been waiting for so long. It was like" a dream come true" for them.40. Who is Kavya Shivashankar?A. One of the 11 finalists at the spelling competition.B. A 13-year-old girl planning to become a star dancer.C. Champion of the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2009.D.

The image of a cabin represents his birthplace. Because Lincoln’s family was poor, and no one could have predicted his later importance, the actual cabin is long gone. Therefore the design is based on the "symbolic cabin" displayed at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site in Kentucky.The other designs show Abraham taking a break to read a book, the young lawyer Lincoln in front of the Illinois state capitol and a Lincoln-free image of the half finished U. S. Capitol dome as it looked during his time in office. These four coins-produced with today’s standard mix of 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper-are intended for general circulation.The Mint also released five collectible coins that sell for more than their face value. Special editions of the four penny designs were produced with the metal content used in 1909 ; a mix of 95 percent copper and 5 percent tin and zinc. In addition, in the world of "bigger" money,2009 has brought the Lincoln Commemorative One-Dollar Coin-made up of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper-with an image that has a Gettysburg Address theme.44. What does Paragraph 2 tell about the cabin on the coins?A. It is a symbolic cabin rebuilt in Kentucky.B. It is newly built for producing new coins.C. It has been protected well for over 200 years.D. It is exactly the one where Lincoln was born.45. Special editions of the 4 collectible coins ______.A. are made of copper and silverB. sell at a price same as their face valueC. are likely to be used for circulation in the futureD. have different metal content from the one-dollar coin46.

Abraham Lincoln’s 200th BirthdayB. Coins Issued with Metal Content in 1909C. Coins in Honor of Abraham LincolnD. Collectible Coins for Abraham LincolnPassage FourLaura and Anthony Valois are a young New York couple who have been trying in vain to have their first child. Several years ago, Belinda Ramirez read an Internet adoption listing and quickly contacted them from her home in Texas ,telling them they could adopt her unborn baby. Excited, Laura and Anthony spent weeks communicating with Ramirez and got regular updates on her pregnancy.Before long, Ramirez began to ask them for financial support. That took the Valoises by surprise. But they were willing to do a lot to ensure a smooth birth. They sent more than $1,000 to Ramirez over several months.Laura and Anthony finally drove to Texas so they could be on hand for the birth. But once they arrived,Ramirez avoided their daily phone calls. After three weeks, the couple drove back to New Yorkemptyhanded and emotionally crushed.They later learned Ramirez had been cheating about ten other peoplefor such things as Wal-mart gift cards in states ranging from California to Ohio to Florida. From start to finish, it was a scam.In fact, Ramirez was never even pregnant. She was sentenced to 24 months in prison as she deserved." When you find out you can’t have children, it’s just depressing, " Laura Valois told a Texas TV station. " But when somebody intentionally does this to you, it's 15 times worse. "48.

They warn that angry hostile feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possible cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others explode with anger, and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing(压制) anger. For years many doctors thought that compared with expressing anger, repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health. It may speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure or sugar into the blood and narrow the blood vessels. To avoid these problems, doctors thought a person should let the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some doctors disputed this. They said that people who express anger repeatedly and explosively did cause, in fact, more and not less anger. They said these too can cause medical problems.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. Expressing anger intensively may be more likely to develop heart disease, and keeping anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it isn’t, they say," Don’t express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. "Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.52. The passage mainly focuses on ______.A. the causes of angerB. the medical treatment of angerC. the health problems caused by angerD. reasonable ways of dealing with anger53. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. keeping anger inside is better than expressing it intensivelyB. both repressing and expressing anger cause health problemsC. keeping anger inside is more likely to cause heart diseaseD. expressing anger freely can avoid medical problems54. The author of the passage is most probably a(n) ______.A. patientB. editorC. psychologistD. surgeon55. According to the passage, a good way to control anger is ______.A. to do sportsB. to be high-spiritedC. to turn it into laughterD. to discuss it with doctorsⅤ.

This year’s college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of san Jose State University, got a degree in religious studies, but he has not gotten any job offers. He points out that many people already working are getting laid off and don’t have jobs, so it’s even harder for new college graduates to f ind jobs.Four years ago, the future looked bright for his class of 2006. There were many high-tech (“dotcom”) job opportunities, graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as health insurance and paid v acations. However, “Times have changed. It’s a new market.” according to an officer of the university.The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several short-time jobs, and they majored in fields that are still paying well, such as accounting or nursing.Even teaching is not a secure profession now. Ryan Stewart wanted to be a teacher, but instead he will probably go back to school in order to become a college teacher. He thinks college teaching could be a good career even in a bad economy.In conclusion, these days a college degree does not automatically lead to a good job with a high salary. Some students can only hope that the value of their degree will increase in the future.1. What did a college degree mean to people in the past?A. It was a proof of their professional skills.B. It would guarantee their quick promotion.C. It built up their confidence in the job market.D. It would help them to start an academic career.2. Ryan Stewart has not got any job offer because_______.A. there are too many graduates of his majorB. he wants to find a job with very high salaryC. he has not received a degree in the universityD. the job market has changed greatly since 20023. According to the passage, _______ had the best job prospects in 2002.A. computer scienceB. accountingC. teachingD. nursing4. Why does Ryan Stewart want to be a college teacher?A. Teaching jobs are well-paid.B. He majored in teaching in the university.C. College teaching is less challenging than high-tech jobs.D. College teaching career won’t be influenced by economy.5. It can be concluded from the passage that _______.A. the value of a college degree has decreased now.B. new college graduates today can’t find jobs.C. a college degree can still lead to a good job.D. graduates must prepare early to find jobs.Passage one 1.

Mark your answers on ANSWERSHEET 1. Text 1 When Amber Post started graduate school inphysics at Princeton, her goal was the same as her male colleagues' : ateaching post at a major university. Now with her Ph.D. just a year away, Postis thinking instead about working for a policymaking agency in Washington.Although Princeton, with Shirley Tilghman as the president, is welcoming tofemale scientists, Post senses that her re- ception in the larger academicworld might be chillier. At famous universities, the percentage of women earningdoctor's degrees in science and engineering is considerably higher than thepercent- age of women professors--whi.ch means that a lot of talented women Ph.D. s like Post leave cam- pus for jobs in government or industry instead ofclimbing the teaching ladder. Stopping this female brain drain has been achallenge for years. At a recent academic confer- ence, Harvard presidentLawrence Summers suggested that women aren't succeeding because they lackability in math and science by nature. His comments drew immediate criticism.Indeed, scien- tists have uncovered some differences in male and female brains,but it's unclear how these differ- ences affect talent. Summers proposed two other possible problemsfor women:the conflict between work and life, and absolute prejudice againstwomen( which he seemed to dismiss). Many women scientists blame these twoproblems for the lack of women professors. Junior teachers need to spend their20s and 30s on research and publication. Those are the same years when women havechildren. Time is an enemy for women in other professions, especially law andmedicine. But while women doctors and lawyers benefit from lots of successfulrole models, academic science continues to belong to men chiefly. "Theatmosphere isn't compelling or welcoming, "Post says. "Too many of myfemale friends drop out of graduate programs simply because the environment isdisappointing, not because theycan't handle the math. " Even against this background, there has beensome progress. More universities are pushing hard with stepped-up recruitmentefforts and trying hard to assist staff members with young families. Butultimately, the best remedy against prejudice would be more women on top,like Princeton's Tilghman. 46. Amber Post is thinking about a job ingovernment because __ A．it isthe usual goal of the Ph.D. students at Princeton B she is doubtful about her future inthe academic world C．it isdifficult to get a teaching post at major universities D．shefears that she may not graduate with a Ph. D. degree 47. According to the text, the gap inpercentage between women Ph.D. s and women professors indicates that A．universities lack competitiveness in the recruitment market B．a lotof women professors have chosen to leave universities C．few womenPh. D. s are qualified for the competitive campus D．universitiesare faced with the problem of female brain drain 48. According to the writer, Summers'comments on women's ability seem to be based on A． hisown attitude towards women scientists B．hisrecent study on women's weaknesses C. the latest findings about human brains D.the conventional opinion about talents 49. We can infer that the most seriousproblem of women teachers is A． theirconflict with male colleagues B． thetrouble in balancing work and life C．theircooperation with male colleagues D．thedifficulty in their career advancement 50. The best solution to the female braindrain in universities is to A. create more academic posts for women B． offerhelp to women with young children C．dismissthose with prejudice against women D. promote more women to leadershippositions Text 2 Recently in the Scottish Highlands,260theatergoers were led up a well-lit, pin-tree-lined con- crete path. Theirdestination? A vacant water plant. The large concrete space had the impersonalfeel of an army camp--exactly the atmosphere the producers of Black Watch hopedto reproduce. The play is based on the true story of a Highlands troop sentoverseas in 2004. Essentially, site-specific theater refers toplays produced in places directly relevant to their ac- tion. At the MuseumHotel in Wellington, New Zealand, audiences filed into room 217 to watch a taleabout the various personalities who had occupied the room over time. "Ithink people are tired of the same old plays in the same confines of space,"says Paul McLaughlin, who produced Hotel."Drama happens all aroundus--at the bus stop, in a supermarket--so we attempted to show how people caninteract with the space that surrounds them. " To be sure, on-scene productions presenttheir own set of challenges. Producers of Black Watch had to scout aroundLondon for a location for when the show comes to the British capital. But formany audience members, leaving the comfort of their theater seats makes for amore meaningful experience. "A lot of site-specific work challenges theway you look and think, "says Nick Kaye, adrama professor at theUniversity of Exeter. Site-specific shows can also satisfy thegrowing desire for individualized entertainment fueled by on-demand televisionand the Intemet. In Faust, which the London-based theater group Punch- drunkjust wrapped up, audience members got to pick what they wanted to see. Housedin an old five-story storehouse in east London, the play featured different settings.Audience members could choose to watch a scene and follow certain actors fromlocation to location. Felix Barrett, the direc- tor of Faust, says today'stheatergoers expect more than just the traditional audience-actor relation-ship. "What I wanted to do was to create a piece where the audience cancarve out the night they want to have, and it stays with them. "Creating astrong sense of place goes a long way toward a- chieving that. - 51. Recently,260 Scottish people went to adeserted water plant A．to toura newly-built military base B． towatch a play about military life C. to visit a military troop back home D. to attend a military trainingprogram 52. The essence of site-specific theaterlies in the idea that drama A． shouldbe made as lifelike as possible B. should reflect people's feelings andideas C.should reveal what is going on in theworld D.should be acted by those related to thestory 53.

Most of us find theforgetting easier, but maybe we should work on the for- giving part."Holding on to hurts wears you down physically and emotionally, "saysStanford Uni- versity psychologist Fred Luskin, author of Forgive for Good."Forgiving someone can be a powerful remedy. " In a recent study, Charlotte Van OyenWitvliet, assistant professor of psychology at Hope Col- lege in Holland,Michigan, and colleagues asked 71 volunteers to remember a past hurt. Tests re-corded sudden increases in blood pressure, heart rate and muscle tension--thesame responses that occur when people are beside themselves. Research haslinked temper and heart diseases. When the volunteers were asked to imagineforgiving those who'd wronged them, they remained calm by comparison. What's more, forgiveness can be learned,insists Luskin, director of the Stanford Forgiveness Project. "We teachpeople to rewrite their story in their minds, to change from victim to hero. Ifthe hurt is from a husband's or awife's unfaithfulness, we might encouragethem to think of themselves not only as a person who was cheated on, but as theperson who tried to keep the marriage togeth- er. "Two years ago Luskintested his method on five Northern Irish women whose sons had been murdered.After undergoing a week of forgiveness training, the women's sense of hurt,measured u- sing psychological tests, had fallen by more than half. They werealso much less likely to feelde- pressed and angry. "Forgiving isn'tabout regarding what happened as harmless or acceptable, "says Luskin."It is about breaking free of the person who wronged us. " The early signs that forgiving improvesoverall health are promisings. A survey of 1,423 adults by the University ofMichigan's Institute for Social Research in 2001 found that people who hadforgiven someone in their past also reported being in better health than thosewho hadn't. However, while 75 per cent said they weresure God had forgiven them for past mistakes, only52 per cent had been able tofind it in their hearts to forgive others. Forgiveness, it seems, is stilldivine. 56. In Luskin's opinion, people could enjoybetter health if they A．holdpast hurts back B．avoidthe wrongdoers C．becomeless emotional D．let offthose who hurt them 57. According to Luskin, to forgive anunfaithful husband, a wife needs to A．urgeherself to see the hurt as nothing B．takemeasures in restoring the marriage C.persuade herself to put up with the hurt D． seeherself as the guardian of the marriage 58. According to the text, to forgive means A．to keepsilent when someone hurts you article B.to stop being angry with those who wrongedyou C．tothink of something tolerable that has happened D．toprevent yourself from doing wrong to your enemies 59. What does the last paragraphimply? A. Most mistakes are forgivable. B. It's really no easy task to forgive. C.It's part of human nature toforgive. D．Fewpeople can truly forgive others. 60. The best title of the text mightbe A．TheResearch on Forgiveness B．TheDifficulty in Forgiveness C．ThePromotion of Forgiveness D. The Healing Power of Forgiveness Part B Directions: Read the texts from a magazine article whichdescribes the celebration of the New Year in five places.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneThousands of years ago, in the middle of an ocean, miles from the nearest island, an undersea volcano broke out. The hot liquid got higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in the sea.As time went on, hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces. Sea waves hit against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being.Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little living things there. Only plants could grow first. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food. A spider made its web uselessly, because there were no insects(昆虫) for its web to catch. Insects couldn’t stay until there were plants for them to eat. So plants had to be the first life on this new island.61. The passage centers on _______ .A. how an undersea volcano broke outB. how an island rose up in the seaC. how soil was formed on a new islandD. how life began on a volcano- produced island62. According to the passage, the island got its first soil from _______ .A. sea wavesB. the sand brought by the windC. its own rockD. cool rains63. The word "naked" (in para. 3) could be replaced by which of the following?A. redB. newC. oldD. bare64.The order of coming into being on the island is _______ .A. soil, plants and animalsB. soil, little creatures and plantsC. soil, birds and plantsD. soil, human beings and animals65. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Spiders were the first life that could live on the island.B. The island is far away from any piece of land.C. Insects could not live on the island without plantsD. Plants were brought to the island by human beingsPassage TwoErnest Miller Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899 in Oak Park, Illinois. In the nearly sixty two years of his life that followed, he built a literary fame unsurpassed（无法超越）in the twentieth century.As a boy he was taught by his father to hunt and fish along the shores and in the forests around Lake Michigan. The Hemingways had a summer house in northern Michigan, and the family would spend the summer months there trying to stay cool. Hemingway would either fish the different streams that ran into the lake, or would take the small boat out to do some fishing there. He would also go squirrel hunting in the woods, discovering early in life the peace to be found while alone in the forest or going through a stream. It was something he could always go back to throughout his life, and though he often found himself living in major cities like Chicago, Toronto and Paris early in his life, once he became successful he chose somewhat isolated places to live in.When he wasn’t hu nting or fishing his mother taught him the good points of music. She was a skilled singer who once had wished a life on stage, but at last settled down with her husband and spent her time by giving voice and music lessons to local children, including her own. Hemingway was never talented for music and suffered through singing practices and music lessons, however, the musical knowledge he got from his mother helped him share in his first wife Hadley’s interest in the piano.66. Ernest Hemingway died in _______ .A. 1969B. 1979C. 1981D. 196167. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. His father taught him to fish and hunt when he was a boy.B. His family had a summer house in northern Michigan.C. He taught himself music when he was a boy.D. He also went squirrel hunting in the woods.68. After he became successful, Ernest Hemingway _______ .A. preferred to stay in big citiesB. chose to live in somewhat isolated placesC. moved his family to ParisD. killed himself69. Being talented in music, Hemingway’s mother once wanted to _______ .A. be a music teacherB. help Hemingway learn musicC. perform on the stage as a singerD. marry a rich husband70. The passage is most probably from _______ .A. a literary biographyB. a science textbookC. a term paperD. a personal diaryPassage ThreeWhat will man be like in the future—in 5000 or even 50000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change tool —the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at. This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.71. The passage tells us about _______ .A. how man’s life will be in the futureB. how future man will look likeC. the fact that man’s organs will function differently in the futureD. the fact that man is growing uglier as time passes72. There is evidence that man is changing, _______ .A. he has been growing taller over the past 500 yearsB. he has got stronger eyes than he ever hadC. his hair is getting thinner and thinnerD. his limbs are getting weaker because he tends to make less use of them73. Man’s forehead will grow larger because _______ .A. he will make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacityB. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due timeC. he had rather narrow forehead a few hundred years agoD. he will have to use his brain more and more as time goes on74. Future man will probably _______ .A. have smaller eyesB. have larger eyesC. see betterD. have to wear better glasses75 .The reason for believing that future man will be different is that he _______ .A. will grow strongerB. never stops changingC. hopes for a changeD. will live a different lifePassage FourAuctions （拍卖）are public sales of goods, made by an officially approved auctioneer. He asked the crowd assembled in the auction room to make offers, or bids, for the various items on sale. He encouraged buyers to bid higher figures, and finally named the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer bangs a small hammer on a table at which he stands. This is often set on a raised platform called a rostrum.The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auction, meaning “increase”. The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils taken in war, these sales were called “sub hash”, meaning “under the spear”, a spear being stuck in the ground as a signal for a crowd to gather. In England in the eighteenth century, goods were often sold “by the candle”: a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight.Practically all goods whose qualities varied are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, hides, skins, wool, tea, cocoa, furs, spices, fruit, vegetables and wines. Auction sales are alsousual for land and property, antique furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art. The auction r ooms at Christie’s and Sotheby’s in London and New York are world famous.An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by prospective buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and continue in numerical order; he may wait until he registers the fact that certain dealers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in. The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible.76. A “bidder” (in para. 1) is a person _______ .A. who sells something.B. who buys something.C. who offers a price.D. who borrows something.77. Auctioned goods are sold _______ price offered.A. for the highestB. for the fixedC. for the lowestD. for the unexpected78. The end of the bidding is called “knocking down” because _______ .A. the auctioneer knocks the buyer downB. the auctioneer knocks the rostrum downC. the goods are knocked down onto the tableD. the auctioneer bangs the table with a hammer79. The “candle” used in paragraph 2 is _______ .A. because they took place at nightB. as a signal for the crowd to gatherC. to give light to the auctioneerD. to limit the time when offers could be made80. An auction catalogue gives prospective buyers _______ .A. the current market values of the goodsB. details of the goods to be soldC. the order in which goods must be soldD. free admission to the auction salePart IV.

Students and professors, parents and children, employers and employees, friends, and even enemies-all communicate. We have been communicating with others from the first weeks of life and will keep on doing so until we die.Why study the activity of communication you’ve done during your entire life? There are three reasons. First, studying interpersonal (⼈际的) communication will give you a new look at a familiar topic. For instance, you will find that some people can go years – even lifetimes –without communicating in a truly interpersonal manner. In this sense, exploring human communication is rather like studying mathematics and physics—everyday objects take on new meaning.A second reason for studying the subject has to do with the surprisingly huge amount of time we spend communicating .A research study once measured the amount of time a sample of college students spent on various activities .The researchers found that they spent an average of over 61 percent of their waking time engaging in some form of communication.The third reason is even more surprising. Franking speaking, none of us communicate as effectively as we wound. Our friendships, jobs, and studies suffer because we fail to express ourselves well and understand others accurately. If you pause now and make a mental list of communication problems you have encountered(遇到), you’ll see that, no matter how successful your relationships, there is plenty of room for improvement in your everyday communication.26. Communication is an activity that__________A) most people are interested inB) is more important than other activitiesC) accompanies us throughout the lifeD) people can do very well all the time27. In Paragraph 2,‖the activity of communication you’ve done during your e ntirelife‖ refers to ______.A) study and research C) your personal life experienceB) your life long career D) interpersonal communication28. What is surprising about the research result of communication? ____A) College students spend a lot of time doing various activities.B) Communication takes a huge amount of people’s walking time.C) The amount of time people spend communicating cannot be measured.D) 61 percent of the college students are engaged in some form ofcommunication.29. What is true about the interpersonal communication according to the passage? ___A) Interpersonal communication is a subject everybody is interested in.B) No one can probably communicate as effectively they would.C) We often stop to think of the communication problems.D) People never fail to express themselves well.30. From the last paragraph of the passage, we can infer that_____.A) People are born with the ability to communicateB) the results of the research are unbelievably surprisingC) everyone needs to improve their ability of communicationD) it is a new challenge for people to study interpersonal communication Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The internet is now becoming increasingly popular. People use it for their work and students use it for finding information about their school work. It can also be used for leisure. However, the Internet can be a very dangerous place sometimes. Some people are waiting there to cheat or harm you. Here are some tips for you to follow.Do Not Believe Everything You Read OnlineYou should not believe everything online. This is especially true if you visit chat rooms. In most chat rooms, you will be talking with unknown people. You do not know who you are talking to. Some people hide their identity just for fun. However, some people will often hide identities online to cheat or harm you.Keep Your Personal Information PrivateMost of the time, an online chat will be about discussing a favorite movie or similar topics. Sometimes, the topic may take on a personal turn. You should always keep your personal information private. You must always be on your guard and never give out any of your details, especially to strangers. If sometimes insists on knowingcertain details, you should leave the chat immediately.Use a Friend SystemWhen you decide to meet with an online friend in person, you should follow a friend system. Take along a friend or relative with you to the meeting. The idea behind this is that at no time should you be left along with an unknown person. What’s more, you should always choose a meeting place where there are a lot of people. Meeting must always be held in public areas like malls, cafes, parks, etc. This will help you make sure that you remain in a safe place.31. From the first paragraph, we can learn that people use the Internet_______.A) for chatting with others B) for many different reasonsC) mainly for their work D) mainly for their school work32. The author advises us______.A) not to talk with strangers in a chat roomB) not to chat with people who hide their identityC) not to hide our identity for funD) not to believe everything we read online33.

Sea waves hit against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being.Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little living things there. Only plants could grow first. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food. A spider made its web uselessly, because there were no insects(昆虫) for its web to catch. Insects couldn’t stay until there were plants for them to eat. So plants had to be the first life on this new island.61.

In the nearly sixty two years of his life that followed, he built a literary fame unsurpassed（无法超越）in the twentieth century.As a boy he was taught by his father to hunt and fish along the shores and in the forests around Lake Michigan. The Hemingways had a summer house in northern Michigan, and the family would spend the summer months there trying to stay cool. Hemingway would either fish the different streams that ran into the lake, or would take the small boat out to do some fishing there. He would also go squirrel hunting in the woods, discovering early in life the peace to be found while alone in the forest or going through a stream. It was something he could always go back to throughout his life, and though he often found himself living in major cities like Chicago, Toronto and Paris early in his life, once he became successful he chose somewhat isolated places to live in.When he wasn’t hunting or fishing his mother taught him the good points of music. She was a skilled singer who once had wished a life on stage, but at last settled down with her husband and spent her time by giving voice and music lessons to local children, including her own. Hemingway was never talented for music and suffered through singing practices and music lessons, however, the musical knowledge he got from his mother helped him share in his first wife Hadley’s interest in the piano.66. Ernest Hemingway died in_______ .A. 1969B. 1979C. 1981D. 196167.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. His father taught him to fish and hunt when he was a boy.B.

We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change tool — the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at. This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.71.The passage tells us about _______ .A. how man’s life will be in the futureB. how future man will look likeC. the fact that man’s organs will function differently in the futureD. the fact that man is growing uglier as time passes72. There is evidence that man is changing, _______ .A. he has been growing taller over the past 500 yearsB. he has got stronger eyes than he ever hadC. his hair is getting thinner and thinner公共英语试卷 第 9 页 （共12页）D. his limbs are getting weaker because he tends to make less use of them73. Man’s forehead will grow larger because_______ .A. he will make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacityB. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due timeC. he had rather narrow forehead a few hundred years agoD. he will have to use his brain more and more as time goes on74. Future man will probably_______ .A. have smaller eyesB. have larger eyesC. see betterD. have to wear better glasses75 .The reason for believing that future man will be different is that he_______ .A. will grow strongerB. never stops changingC. hopes for a changeD. will live a different lifePassage FourAuctions （拍卖）are public sales of goods, made by an officially approved auctioneer. He asked the crowd assembled in the auction room to make offers, or bids, for the various items on sale. He encouraged buyers to bid higher figures, and finally named the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer bangs a small hammer on a table at which he stands. This is often set on a raised platform called a rostrum.The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auction, meaning “increase”. The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils taken in war, these sales were called “sub hash”, meaning “under the spear”, a spear being stuck in the ground as a signal for a crowd to gather. In England in the eighteenth century, goods were often sold “by the candle”: a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight.Practically all goods whose qualities varied are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, hides, skins, wool, tea, cocoa, furs, spices, fruit, vegetables and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, antique furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art. The auction rooms at Christie’s and Sotheby’s in London and New York are world famous.An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by prospective buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together,公共英语试卷 第 10 页 （共12页）called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and continue in numerical order; he may wait until he registers the fact that certain dealers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in. The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible.76.A“bidder” (in para. 1) is a person_______ .A. who sells something.B. who buys something.C. who offers a price.D. who borrows something.77. Auctioned goods are sold_______ price offered.A. for the highestB. for the fixedC. for the lowestD. for the unexpected78. The end of the bidding is called“knocking down” because_______ .A. the auctioneer knocks the buyer downB. the auctioneer knocks the rostrum downC. the goods are knocked down onto the tableD. the auctioneer bangs the table with a hammer79.The“candle” used in paragraph 2 is _______ .A. because they took place at nightB. as a signal for the crowd to gatherC. to give light to the auctioneerD. to limit the time when offers could be made80. An auction catalogue gives prospective buyers _______ .A. the current market values of the goodsB. details of the goods to be soldC. the order in which goods must be soldD. free admission to the auction salePart IV.

They may want to move out of the family for a while. Many parents will say no to this demand. But experts say it might be a good idea to let your teens live with a friend or relative. “It was the break I needed at the time,” said Richard Lerner. He is talking about the time he spent living with his grandmother when he was 15. “It allowed me to be a different person than I was with my parents.” Lerner said. He now heads the Institute for Children, Youth and Families at Michigan State University.Experts say teens living away from their families can test new ways of thinking and getting along with people. They may see new solutions to problems. This is different from running away, the experts stress. Runaways are often fleeing serious problems. Some teens who want some time away from family attend a structured summer program. Others live for a while with a relative or with the family of a friend.If there is conflict at home, having a teen live elsewhere can benefit other family members. It gives everyone space to develop better relationships. Joseph Kett teaches history at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. He says living at home until the late teen years has become the norm only in recent times. “In the 17th century, children were often sent to live in other people’s homes when they were about 10 or 11.” he said.Peter Sheras teaches education at the University of Virginia. He said parents should listen when a child wants to move out. They should try to find out why the child wants some time away. Often, parents can help the child find a safe place to stay during that time. In other cases, they can meet the child’s needs at home.41. According to this passage, many parents think it________ for their children to live away from them.A. rightB. happyC. unsafeD. reasonable42. When children seriously disagree with their parents, experts suggest that parents should________.A. punish themB. let them live away from their familiesC. send for a teacherD. keep them in the house43. The underlined word“structured” means________.A. builtB. stuckC. organizedD. drunk44. In history,________.A. teens never left their familiesB. teens often left their parentsC. teens never went to schoolD. teens never make friends with each other45. Nowadays living away and running away from home________.A. never happenB. often worry parents and teachersC. are very popularD. are accepted by peoplePassage TwoMr. Smith was a wealthy industrialist, but he was not satisfied with life. He did not sleep well and his food did not agree with him. This situation lasted for some time. Finally, after several sleepless nights, he decided to consult his doctor. The doctor advised a change of surroundings. “Go abroad”, he said. “But I’m not good at foreign language,” said Mr. Smith. “It doesn’t matter,” said the doctor. “It won’t hurt you to talk a little less. Go on a voyage. Take plenty of exercise. Try to reduce your weight. Avoid rich food.”Mr. Smith went to Switzerland. He did not know French or German, and had to communicate through gestures. He attended a physical training course. The instructor made him bend his knees swing his arms, stretch his neck and shake his head rapidly. He had to lie on the ground and raise his right and left legs alternately. After a time his muscles grew hard and firm. He forgot the financial crisis and the importance of raising the level of production. He even began to notice individual trees and individual birds.Finally he returned home. But unfortunately his improvement was only temporary. Soon he was a normal business man again, worried about his property, his profits, his savings, his advancement in a technological society, and things in general.46. Mr. Smith went to see his doctor because he________.A. had little to eatB. was seriously illC. had to sleepD. didn’t feel well47. The doctor advised Mr. Smith to do all except________.A. talking lessB. learning a foreign languageC. eating less rich foodD. taking plenty of exercise48. In the second paragraph, the word “gesture” means________.A. body movementB. simple wordsC. pens or pencilsD. handshakes49. When he traveled abroad, Mr. Smith________.A. learned boxingB. forgot all about his businessC. raised the level of productionD. shook his head all the time50. In the last paragraph, the word “temporary” means________.A. lasting for a short timeB. not deepC. unimportantD. developing very slowlyPassage ThreeIt is difficult for doctors to help a person with a hurt brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives only three to five minutes. Sometimes the hurt brain gets better by itself. More often the doctors can’t fix the hurt brain. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help. It is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctor might make the person worse if he works on the brain.Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should try to make the brain become very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctors a longer time to do something for the brain.Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs. Then he operated on them. He made the monkeys’ blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys’ brain. When the brain temperature was 10℃, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations, the monkeys were as they were before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.Dr. White’s idea works well on monkeys. Are there other problems with human beings？Dr. White thinks doctors will use his idea on human beings. He thinks it will help people who have to die when their heart stops; doctors can start it again. The problem comes when the brain is without blood for three to five minutes; the person has a living body, but a dead brain. Maybe in the future, doctors will try Dr. White’s idea. When the person’s heart stops, the doctors will quickly try to cool the brain. They will have 30 minutes to start the heart again. Maybe there will be no problem with the brain.51. Which of the following expresses the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Not many doctors can help a hurt brain to recover.B. Without blood the brain can only live for five minutes.C. A hurt brain is not an easy problem for doctors to cope with.D. It is quite dangerous for doctors to operate on the hurt brain.52. What will help doctors work on the brain?A. Taking the blood out of the hurt brain.B. Lowering the temperature of the brain.C. Helping the brain live outside the body.D. Supplying enough blood for the brain.53. When a person’s heart stops beating,________.A. it doesn’t necessarily mean that he cannot come to life againB. it definitely means that he can never come back to life againC. it undoubtedly means that his brain has died at the same timeD. it undoubtedly means that his body has died at the same time54. People most probably die when________A. they stop breathingB. they stop bleedingC. their hearts stopD. their brains die55. Which is the best title for this passage?A. A Study of the Blood of the Monkey.B. A Study of the Brain of the Monkey.C. A New Way to Work on the Brain.D. A New Machine to Help the Brain.Passage FourI hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so.At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at one another’s hands for courage.They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up just by listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in this way is that the crowd is doing it.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a greater barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when every one else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the people who respect you for whom you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.56. The main purpose of this passage is to tell ________ .A. readers how to be popular with people aroundB. teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselvesC. parents how to control and guide their childrenD. people how to understand and respect each other57. According to the author, many teenagers think they are brave enough to be themselves, but, in fact, most of them ________ .A. have much difficulty understanding each otherB. lack confidenceC. dare not cope with problems single­handedD. are very much afraid of getting lost58. According to the passage, which of the following is not true?A. There is no popularity that really counts.B. What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.C. It is not necessarily bad for a teenager to disagree with his or her classmates.D. Most teenagers ate not actually rebelling.59. The author thinks of advertisements as ________.A. originalB. influentialC. detrimentalD. authoritative60. During the teenager years, one should learn to ________.A. differ from others in as many ways as possibleB. get into the right season and become popularC. find one’s real selfD. rebel against parents and the popularity waveⅢ（20 points）Part ClozeDirections: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passageand write the corresponding letter in the brackets“【 】”.Some people think the best time to begin studying a foreign language is in childhood and that the younger you are, the easier it is to learn another language. There is 61 evidence, 62 , that children in language classroom learn foreign languages 63 better than adults in the similar classroom situation. In fact, adults have many advantages 64 children: better memories, more efficient ways of organizing information, longer attention 65__, better study habits, and greater ability to handle 66 mental tasks. Adults are often better motivated than children: they see learning a foreign language as 67 for education or career. 68 , adults are particularly 69 to correctness of grammar and appropriateness of vocabulary, two factors that receive much attention in most language classrooms.Age 70 have some disadvantages, however. For instance, adults usually want to learn a foreign language 71 , unlike children, who can devote more time to language 72 . Also, adults have complex communication needs that extend 73 the mere ability to 74 a simple conversation. Adults need to be 75 to argue, persuade, express concern, object, explain, and present information about complex 76 that relate to their work or education. Because most adults do not like to 77 foolish, they often 78 themselves opportunities to practice 79 making mistakes, not getting their message 80 , or appearing ridiculously incompetent.

The hot liquid got higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in the sea.As time went on, hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces. Sea waves hit against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being.Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little living things there. Only plants could grow first. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food. A spider made its web uselessly, because there were no insects(昆虫) for its web to catch. Insects couldn't stay until there were plants for them to eat. So plants had to be the first life on this new island.61. The passage centers on .A、how an undersea volcano broke outB、how an island rose up in the seaC、how soil was formed on a new islandD、how life began on a volcano-produced island62.

2010年专转本英语考试试卷第I卷(共100分)Part I Reading Comprehension(共20小题,每小题2分,共40分)Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage .Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’eyes , and that our Grandmas think We’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you built a positive self-image and learnt to love yourself.Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice .If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes.The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way.( )1.You need to build a positive self-image when you________.A. dare to challenge yourselfB. feel it hard to change yourselfC. are unconfident about yourselfD. have a high opinion of yourself( )2.According to the passage, our self-images________.A. have positive effectsB. are probably untrueC. are often changeableD. have different functions( )3.How should you change your serf-image according to the passage?A. Keep a different image of others.B. Make your life successful.C. Understand your ownD. Change the way you think.( )4.What is the passage mainly about?A. How to prepare for your success.B. How to face challenges in your life.C. How to build a positive self-image.D. How to develop your good qualities.( )5.Who are the intended readers of the passage?A. Parents.B. AdolescentsC. EducatorsD. People in general.Passage 2Questions6 to 10 are based on the following passage.Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as“honor”help you create this life of good feelings.Here’s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk’s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?In the first case, where we don’t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect .We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk’s attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable actions we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it’s easy to think and act honorably again when we’re happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it’s started, it’s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.( )6.According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our_______.A. self-respectB. financial rewardsC. advertising abilityD. friendly relationship ( )7. The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to______.A.1yingB. stealingC. cheatingD. advertising( )8. The phrase “bringing the error t o clerk’s attention” (Para.5)means________.A. telling the truth to the clerkB. offering advice to the clerkC. asking the clerk to be more attentiveD. reminding the clerk of the charged item ( )9.How will we feel if we let the clerk know the mistake?A. We’ll be very excited.B. We’ll feel unfortunate.C. We’11 have a sense of honor.D. We’ll feel sorry for the clerk.( )10.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. How to Live TruthfullyB. Importance of PeacefulnessC. Ways of Gaining Self-respectD. Happiness through HonorablePassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage .“Sesame Street”(芝麻街)has been called“the longest street in the world”.That is because the television program by that name can now be seen in so many parts of the world. That program became one of America’s exports soon after it went on the air in the New York in 1969.In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. The viewers include more than half of the nation’s pre-school children. Although some educators object to certain elements in the program, parents praise it highly. Many teachers also consider it a great help, though some teachers find that problems arise when first graders who have learned from“Sesame Street”are in the same class with children who have not watched the program.The program uses songs, stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relationships. Tests have shown that children have benefited from watching“Sesame Street”.Those who watch five times a week learn more than the occasional viewers. In the United States the program is shown at different times during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly.Why has“sesame street”been so much more successful than other children’s shows? Many reasons have been suggested. People mention the. educational theories of its creators, the support by the government and private businesses, and the skillful use of a variety of TV tricks. Perhaps an equally important reason is that mothers watch“Sesame Street”along with their children. This is party because famous adult stars often appear on“Sesame Street”. But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more.( )11.Why has“Sesame Street” been called“the longest street in the World'”?A. The program has been shown ever since1969.B. The program became one of America’s major exports soon after it appeared on TV.C. The program is now being watched in most parts of the world.D.

So many children in the United States watch the program because_________.A. it uses songs, stories and jokes to give them basic knowledgeB. it is arranged for most children to watch it regularlyC. tests have shown that it is beneficial to themD. both A and B( ) 14.Mothers often watch the program along with their children because_________.A. they enjoy the program as much as their childrenB. they find their children have benefited from watching the programC. they are attracted by some famous adult stars on the showD. they can learn some educational theories from the program( )15.What is the most important reason for the success of the program according to the author?A. The creators have good educational theories in making the program.B. The young viewers find they can learn something from it.C. Famous adult stars often appear in the program.D. It gets support from the government and private businesses.Passage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.You will have no difficulty in making contact with the Agent. As you enter his office, you will be greeted immediately and politely asked what you are looking for. The Estate Agent’s Negotiator (房地产推销员)——as he is called——will probably check that you really know your financial position. No harm in that, but you can always tell him that you have confirmed the position with the XYZ Building Society. He will accept that.He will show you the details of a whole range of properties；many of them are not really what you are looking for at a11.That does not matter. Far better turn them down than risk missing the right one.The printed details he will give you are called“particulars”.Over the years, a whole language has grown up, solely for use in Agent’s particulars. It is flowery, ornate (华丽的) and, providing you read it carefully and discount the adjectives, it can be very accurate and helpful.Since the passing of the Trades Description Act, any trader trying to sell something has had to be very careful as to what they say about it. Estate Agents have, by now, become very competent at going as far as they dare. For instance, it is quite acceptable to say“delightfully situated”. That is an expression of his opinion. You may not agree, but he might like the idea of living next to the gasworks. If, on the other hand, he says that the house has five bedrooms when, in fact, it has only two, that is a misstatement of fact and is an offence. This has made Estate Agents, and others for that matter, rather more careful.Basically, all that you need to know about a house is：how many bedrooms it has；an indication of their size；whether the house has a garage；whether there is a garden and whether it is at the back or the front of the house；whether it is semi-detached or terraced(联排的).( )16.The Estate Agent’s Negotiator will _______.A. want all the details of your financial circumstancesB. want to satisfy himself that you understand the financial implications of buying a houseC. check your financial position with the XYZ Building SocietyD. accept any statement you make about your financial position（）17.The author believes_________.A. it is better to be given information about too many properties than too fewB. you should only look at details of properties of the kind you have decided to buyC. the agent will only show you the details of properties you have in mindD. it doesn’t matter if you miss a few properties you may be interested in( )18.The adjectives in Agent’s particulars are _________.A. accurateB. helpfulC. both accurate and helpfulD. safe to ignore( )19.The Trades Description Act applies ________.A. house agents onlyB. most estate agentsC. any traderD. buyers of houses( )20.The phrase“going as far as they dare”(Para.4)probably means_________.A. covering as wide an area as possibleB. selling houses as far from the estate agent's houses as possibleC. telling lies about properties if nobody is likely to find out about it .D. trying every possible means to make the description of houses sound attractivePart II Vocabulary and Structure (共40小题,每小题1分,共40分)( )21.Scientists will have to________ new methods of increasing the world’s food supply in order to solve the problem of famine in some places.A. come up forB. come down withC. come down toD. come up with( )22.I’d like to rent a house, modem, comfortable and _______ in a quiet and safe neighborhood.A. all in allB. above allC. after allD. over all( )23.

What they do is to select young people who have potential (潜能) and who can be trained. They then give the young people the kinds of skills that will make them suitable employees for company. In other words, they adjust their training to their particular needs.One recently employed graduate says that she is receiving a great deal of valuable training from the company. "This means that I will be a loyal employee," she says, "And it also means that the company will want to keep me. I am an important investment for them. So the policy is a good one because it benefits both the employer and the employees."Recently, however, attitudes towards employment are beginning to change. Employees are slowly beginning to accept the idea that lifelong employment is not always in their best interest and that changing firms can have career advantages.1. The purpose of lifelong employment is to __________.A) adjust the needs of the company to its employeesB) make employees loyal to their companyC) select the best skilled young employeesD) keep the skilled staff satisfied2. By training its employees, a company can make them __________.A) do their work more easilyB) more interested in their workC) willing to invest money into the companyD) possess the necessary qualities for the job3. Talking about the training she has received, a recently employed graduate has the view that __________.A) it is still well-received by all the staff members todayB) it is valuable to the employer and the employeesC) it is helpful for attracting young employeesD) it is both useful and interesting4. Attitudes towards lifelong employment are changing because __________.A) job changes have career advantagesB) it's boring to work in only one companyC) only the employer benefits from such employmentD) stable employment seldom offers better opportunities5. The passage is mainly about __________.A) lifelong training of employeesB) policies of lifelong employmentC) attitudes towards lifelong employmentD) employers' interest in lifelong employmentPassage 2People today are still talking about generation gap (代沟). Some parents complain that their children do not show them proper respects, while children complain that their parents do not understand them at all.What has gone wrong? Why has the generation gap appeared?One important cause is that young people want to choose their own life style. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents like, and often to continue the family occupation.Parents often expect their children to do better than they do, to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the high wishes that parents place on their children are another cause of the generation gap.Finally, the high speed of the social changes deepens the gap. In a traditional culture, people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society today the knowledge of a lifetime may be out of use overnight（隔夜）.1. According to the passage, children today expect their parents to __________.A) give them more independence B) choose a good job for themC) live together with them D) make more money2. Parents often hope that their children will __________.A) make as much money as they do B) be more successful than they areC) choose jobs according to their own will D) avoid doing what their parents can't do3. The generation gap has become wider than before because of __________.A) the increasing dependence of children on parentsB) the influence of traditional culture on childrenC) the rapid changes of the modem societyD) the missing of lifelong occupation4. In today's society, the knowledge of a lifetime __________.A) is still very much valuedB) becomes out of date quicklyC) is essential for continuing family occupationD) helps the young generation to find a better job5. A proper title for this passage would be __________.A) Parents' Viewpoints On Generation GapB) Relationship Between Family MembersC) Generation Gap Between the Young and the OldD) Difference Between Traditional Culture and Modern KnowledgePassage 3Psychology is the study of the mind and mental activities. For example, psychologists are interested in why some things make you sad, but others make you happy. They want to know why some people are shy, but others are quite talkative. They also want to know why people do the things that they do. They test intelligence.Psychologists deal with the mind and behavior of people. Your mind consists of all your feelings, thoughts, and ideas. It is the result of one part of the brain called the cerebrum （大脑）。

You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 to 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.In Washington D. C., 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is a very special address. It is the address of the White House, the home of the president of the United States.Originally the White House was gray and was called the presidential Palace. It was built from1792 to 1800. At this time, the city of Washington itself was being built. It was to be the nation's new capital city. George Washington, the first president, and Pierre Charles L' Enfant, a French engineer, chose the place for the new city. L' Enfant then planned the city. The president's home was an important part of the plan,A contest was held to pick a design for the president's home. An architect named James Hobart won. He designed a large three-story house of gray stone.President Washington never lived in the Presidential Palace. The first president to live there was John Adams, the second president of the United States, and his wife Mrs. Adams did not-really like her new house. In her letters, she often complained about the cold. Fifty fireplaces were not enough to keep the house warm!In 1812 the United States and Britain went to war. In 1814 the British invaded Washington. They burned many buildings, including the Presidential Palace.After the war James Hoban, the original architect, partially rebuilt the president's home. To cover the marks of the fire, the building was painted white. Before long it became known as the White House.The White House is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States. Every year more than 1.5 million visitors go through the five rooms that are open to the public.36. The White House was built in Washington ________.A) because a French engineer was invited to design itB) because President George Washington liked to live in itC) because the British invaders lived in it in 1812 -1814D) because it was to be the nation' s capital city37. The Presidential Palace was ________.A) painted gray and white B) made of gray stoneC) made of white stone D) made very warm in winter38. The president's home and the city of Washington were ________.A) built by the American army B) built by the British troopsC) planned by George Washington D) planned by the French39. The original home of the president needed to be rebuilt ________.A) because John Adams' wife did not like itB) because it was cold in winter even with 50 fireplacesC) because it had burned down during the warD) because George Washington was not willing to live in it40. The new presidential home was painted white to ________.A) cover the marks of fire B) attract tourist from FranceD) to please Mrs. John Adams D) keep it warm in winterTask 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 to 45.Man finds living together with his own species(物种) difficult enough and living together with other species almost impossible. Our usual solution is to kill off anything that get in our way. Even on those rare occasions when we do enter into a relationship with another species, it is heavily biased(带有倾向) in our favor. The other species benefits only when it suits our own interests. Our attempts to communicate with another species are concerned mainly with givingorders in our own language and having them obeyed. Probably our best attempt has been the whistle language that is used in the shepherd-sheepdog relationship. This is a system that is natural to neither species, but one that both can understand. Its only fault lies in fact that the bias is still there--the dog cannot whistle for the man.But now comes news of a piece of research that promises, for the first time, to open up two-way communication between man and another species.At the University of Nevada in the western United States, animated(活跃的)conversations are being heldwith a young female chimpanzee (黑猩猩)called Washoe. Allen and Beatrice Gardener have succeeded in doing this because they have used an entirely new approach, an approach based on the natural abilities of the chimpanzee. Past attempts to communicate with chimpanzees have failed because the researchers tried to make their animals use a vocal language.41. According to the writer, when man finds it impossible to live together with other species, he usually _________.A) tries to communicate with themB) tries to teach them a languageC) sets up a relationship with themD) wipes them out42. According to the writer; we communicate with animals in an attempt to ________.A) set up a relationship with themB) make them do what we wantC) get along well with themD) teach them a language43. The writer implies that the shepherd-sheepdog whistle language is still biased because ________.A) it can only be used to give ordersB) it is not natural for both shepherd and sheepdogC) it is a one-way communication approachD) it can only be used between man and dog44. Allen and Beatrice Gardener managed to communicate with the chimpanzee by ________.A) training the chimpanzee to learn human language in an entirely new methodB) creating a language both man and the chimpanzee were able to useC) using animal' s vocal language which the chimpanzee was able to understandD) learning the chimpanzee's language with an entirely new approach45. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A) in the future the chimpanzee can learn language like human beingsB) in the past researchers taught a chimpanzee words of our natural languageC) man and animals can get along well if they can communicate with each otherD) the chimpanzee can communicate well with our human beingsTask 3Directions: The following is a passage about contract. After reading it, you are required to complete the outline below it (No. 46 to No. 50). You should write your answers briefly (in no more than three words) on the Answer Sheet correspondingly.A contract is an agreement between two or more people in which one person agrees to dosomething by a specified date in return for something done by the other. Usually the contract is a written document signed and dated by both parties. It must state clearly the consideration, that is, what is to be given or done by one person in exchange for what is given or done by the other. If one person does what was promised and the other does not, the other may be sued in court and required by court order to make good. He or she may also be required to pay for*damages suffered as a result of the failure to perform. The things to be done by both parties must be stated in definite terms or the court will hold that contract is too Vague and general to be enforced. Similarly, the time period within which the work is to be done must be definite or the court will say that the document is not a contract.Task 4Directions: The following is a list of terms about meeting. After reading it, you are required to find the items equivalent to (与…相同的) those given in Chinese in the table below.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneEver since Stephanie’s 13th birthday we have been receiving comments from other adults expressing their sympathies because our daughter is now a teenager. We’ve heard everything from, “ Sure she’s a good kid, but just wait, now that she’s a teenager ...” to the ever inspiring, “Well, all kids are rotten when they are teenagers, just try to go through it the best way you can.” What’s more upsetting is that many of these insensitive adults feel the need to share their negative predictions well within the hearing of both our daughters. I know that teenagers can be moody and difficult at times, but I’m 32 and I can also be difficult and moody. We worry about the future and want today’s kids to know that we care for them and that there are opportunities that await them. However, at the very point they set out on that journey toward adulthood we stand there watching them disapprovingly, just waiting for them to make a mistake, “just like we knew they would.” We tell them to respect themselves and to say no to drugs, yet we fail to set a positive example by treating them with kindness and consideration, demonstrating our respect for them. I have, at times, beenguilty of this behavior but am now realizing that the more I see each person as a person, the more I am pleasantly surprised in some way or another. For example, a few weeks ago my husband and I were having dinner at our favorite restaurant and two teenage boys came in and sat down right beside us. I must admit that my first thought was, “Perfect, there goes our quiet, peaceful dinner.” I was so wrong! These young men were well behaved, quiet, and left a nice tip for the waitress. Once I looked beyond the jeans so loose they were practically falling off and the multi-colored hair, I saw what fine people these kids were.Many of the people who, perhaps unknowingly, treat teens with disrespect are unhappyabout the fact that pop singers and sports stars are our children’s heroes. I feel that unless we give them something better to go after, we really shouldn’t complain.41. When their children reach their teens, parents usually expect ______.A. troubleB. sympathyC. congratulationsD. inspiring comments42. In the author’s opinion, the trouble with parents is that ______.A. they are too watchful of their teenage childrenB. they ar e too concerned about their children’s futureC. they fail to treat teenagers with sufficient kindness and respectD. they speak ill of their children within their hearing43. When two teenagers came into the restaurant and sat beside the author, her first thought was ______.A. her quiet dinner with her husband would be ruinedB. something interesting was going to happen over dinnerC. they were wrong to have chosen this restaurant for dinnerD. she and her husband were going to have a pleasant surprise44. What does the author think of the two teenage boys?A. They are typical of teenagers who wear ill-fitting clothes and dye their hair.B. They may become nice people if they are willing to change their lifestyle.C. They are fine young men despite their loose jeans and multi-colored hair.D. They will respect you if you respect them.45. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. There is nothing wrong with teenagers admiring pop singers and sport stars.B. Pop singers and sport stars should not be heroes of our children.C. If our children admire pop singers and sports stars, it is the parents who are to blame.D. Parents should set a good example for their children to follow.Passage TwoMore and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap big reward. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.It’s easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers. Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it’s disturbing to note how many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic inspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met.Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result if the public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled (篡改) the most confidential (保密) records right under the noses of the company’s executives, accountants, and security staff. And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs tocontinue his crimes elsewhere.46. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. it is still impossible to detect computer crimes todayB. people commit computer crimes at the request of their companyC. computer criminals escape punishment because they can’t be detectedD. computer crimes are the most serious problem in the operation of financial institutions47. It is implied in the third paragraph that ______.A. most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luckB. the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problemC. most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimesD. many more computer crimes, which are discovered, go undetected48. Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage?A. A strict law against computer crimes must be enforced.B. Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes to protect their reputation.C. Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputation.D. Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information.49. What may happen to computer criminals once they are caught?A. With a bad reputation they can hardly find another job.B. They may walk away and easily find another job.C. They will be denied access to confidential records.D. They must leave the country to go to jail.50. The passage is mainly about ______.A. why computer criminals are often able to escape punishmentB. why computer crimes are difficult to be detected by systematic inspectionsC. how computer criminals mange to get good recommendations from their former EmployersD. why computer crimes can’t be eliminatedPassage ThreeAnother cultural aspect of nonverbal communication is one that you might not think about: space. Every person perceives himself to have a sort of invisible shield surrounding his physical body. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he bumps onto someone, he feels obligated to apologize. But the size of a person’s “comfort zone” depends on his cultural ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. In other words, they like to keep each other “at arm’s length”, people in Latin or Arab cultures, in contrast, stand very close to each other, and touch each other often. If someonefrom one of those cultures stands too close to an American while in conversation, the American may feel uncomfortable and back away.When Americans are talking, they expect others to respond to what they are saying. To Americans, polite conversationalists empathize by displaying expressions of excitement or disgust, shock or sadness. People with a “poker face”, whose emotions are hidden by a deadpan expression, are looked upon with suspicion. Americans also indicate their attentiveness in a conversation by raising their eyebrows, nodding, smiling politely and maintaining good eye contact. Whereas some cultures view direct eye contact as impolite or threatening, Americans see it as a sign of genuineness a nd honesty. If a person doesn’t look you in the eye, American might say, you should question his motives—or assume that he doesn’t like you. Yet with all the concern for eye contact, Americans still consider staring—especially at strangers—to be rude.51. What the author discussed in the previous section is most probably about______.A. classification of nonverbal communicationB. the reasons why people should think about spaceC. the relationship between communication and spaceD. some other cultural aspects of nonverbal communication52. How far people keep to each other while talking is closely associated with their______.A. cultural originB. habitsC. customD. nationality53. When an Italian talks to an Arabian on informal occasions______.A. he sta nds about four feet awayB. “comfort zone” does not existC. keeping close enough is preferredD. communication barriers may emerge54. A “poker face” (Line 3, Para. 2) refers to a face which is______.A. attentiveB. emotionalC. suspiciousD. expressionless55. In a conversation between friends, Americans regard it as sincere and truthful to____.A. maintain direct eye contactB. hide emotions with a deadpan expressionC. display excitement or disgust, shock or sadnessD. raise their eyebrows, nod and smile politelyPassage FourAfter 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, an 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 (蓝图的) 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, which 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.56. 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 highways57. The function of the computer mentioned in the passage is to ______.A. counter-balance 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 vibrations58. The smart buildings discussed in the passage ______.A. would cause serious financial problemsB. would be worthwhile though costlyC. would increase the complexity of architectural designD. can reduce the ground vibrations caused by earthquakes59. It can be inferred from the passage that in minimizing the damage caused by earthquakes attention should 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 earthquakes60. 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 buildingPart III Cloze ( 1 x 20 )Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children, of whom four or five lived till they were five years old. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today women marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’ s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty­five and can be expected to live another thirty­five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances and convenience foods.This important change in women’s life pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full­time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school leaving age is sixteen, many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part time work. Such changes have led to a new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equality in providing the money, and running the home, according to abilities and interests of each of them.41. We are told that, in an average family about 1900________.A. many children died before they were fiveB. seven or eight children lived to be more than fiveC. the youngest child would be fifteenD. four or five children died when they were five42. According to the passage, the woman of today usually________.A. marries instead of getting paid workB. marries before she is twenty­fiveC. has more children under fifteenD. has too few children43. One reason why the woman of today may take a job is that she________.A. is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselvesB. does not like children herselfC. need not worry about food for her childrenD. can retire from family responsibilities when she reaches sixty44. According to the passage, it is now quite usual for women to________.A. stay at home after leaving schoolB. marry men younger than themselvesC. start working again later in lifeD. marry while still at school45. Nowadays, a husband tends to________.A. play a greater part in looking after the childrenB. help his wife by doing most of the houseworkC. feel dissatisfied with his role in the familyD. take a part­time job so that he can help in the homePassage TwoAs people continue to grow and age, our body systems continue to change. At a certain point in your life your body systems will begin to weaken. Your joints may become stiff. It may become more difficult for you to see and hear. The slow change of aging causes our bodies to lose some of their ability to bounce back from disease and injury. In order to live longer, we have always tried to slow, to stop this process that leads us toward the end of our lives.Many factors contribute to your health. A well–balanced diet plays an important role. The amount and type of exercise you get is another factor. Your living environment and the amount of stress you are under is yet another. But scientists studying senescence want to know: Why do people grow old? They hope that by examining the aging process on a cellular level medical science may be able to extend the length of life.There is nothing to be afraid of as old age approaches. Many consider the later portions of lift to be the best time for living. Physical activity may lessen, but often you gain a broader understanding of yourself and the world.What we consider old age now may only be middle–aged some day soon. Who knows with so many advanced in medical science happening so quickly, life spans may one day be measured in centuries, rather than in years!46. When people become aging, they will lose some of their ability to bounce back from disease and injury, “bounce back” here means ________.A. to improve in health after one’s disease and injuryB. to recover from disease and injuryC. to jump after recoveringD. to run fast47. In order to live longer, ________.A. we have to try to be on a dietB. we should keep in high spiritsC. we should try to do more exerciseD. we should postpone the process of aging48.

If they can pin down the biochemical process that makes us age, there will be hope for extending the length of life.D. They want to find out if there is a link between how efficiently a cell could repair itself and how long a creature lives.49. Many consider the later portions of life to be the best time of living, because ________.A. they have a very good understanding of themselves and the outside worldB. they consider their life has been a successful oneC. they have come through the battle of life safelyD. they have nothing to do all day long only to watch their grandchildren growing up around them.50. According to the passage, “spans” means ________.A. longevityB. a length of timeC. a long period of timeD. a long distance from one place to anotherPassage ThreeSocial change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance on mixed societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.Within a society, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the nonmaterial, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human, elations on a continuous scale rather than one width, sharp dichotomies. This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities, because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts.51. Which of the following is the topic sentence of the first paragraph?A. The first sentence.B. The third sentence.C. The second sentence.D. The last sentence.52. Social change is more likely to take place in the society which consists of people different in many ways because________.A. condition may be satisfactoryB. they look at the world in more different waysC. they lack the opportunity to express themselvesD. they are hard to please53. According to the passage, which of the following is not true?A. Different points of view tend to accelerate the social change.B. Social change is likely to occur in technology rather than in form.C. People similar in many ways have got so used to their conditions that they seldom see the needs for change.D. Social change is less likely to occur in strange elements.54. ________, social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily.A. If social change is quickB. If people are satisfied with their likely conditionsC. If people have different ideas and interestsD. If people prefer substances to forms55. The word “counterparts” in Paragraph 3 (line 4) refers to________.A. other minoritiesB. mixed societyC. AmericansD. dichotomiesPassage FourThere is no creature that does not need sleep or complete rest every day. If you want to know why, just try going without sleep for a long period of time. You will discover that your mind and body would become too tired to work properly. You would become irritable and find it hard to think clearly or concentrate on your work. So sleep is quite simply the time when the cells of your body recover from the work of the day and build up supplies of energy for the next period of activity.One of the things we all know about sleep is that we are unconscious in sleep. We do not know what is going on around us. But that doesn’t mean the body stops all activity. The important organs continue to work during sleep, but most of the body functions are slowed down. For example, our breathing becomes slower and deeper. The heart beats more slowly, and the blood pressure is lower. Our arms and legs become limp(柔软的)and muscles are at rest. It would be impossible for our body to relax to such an extent if we were awake. So sleep does for us what the most quiet rest can not do.Your body temperature becomes lower when you are asleep, which is the reason people go to sleep under some kind of covers. And even though you are unconscious, many of your reflexes (习 惯性思维) still work. For instance, if someone tickles (使觉得痒) your foot, you will put it away in your sleep, or even brush a fly from your forehead. You do these things without knowing it.56. If you don’ t have as much sleep as your body needs, you will________.A. work properlyB. think clearlyC. keep your attention on your workD. easily get angry57. The cells of your body develop supplies of energy________.A. when you are asleepB. when you recover from your work of the dayC. in the next period of activityD. when you are quiet58. In the clause“... that we are unconscious in sleep”, the word “unconscious” means________.A. untiringB. unmovedC. quietD. not knowing what is happening around59. Sleep helps your body to relax to such an extent________.A. that any rest can reachB. that no rest can have the same effectC. that you will never need any restD. that you will need the most quiet rest60. When you are sleeping,________.A. all of your reflexes stop workingB. most of your reflexes stop workingC. many of your reflexes still workD. all of your reflexes still workPart ClozeⅢ（20 points）Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

There are 4 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read these materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1Trees are useful to man in three very important ways: they provide him with wood and other products; they give him shade; and they help to prevent droughts (干旱) and floods.Unfortunately, man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important. Two thousand years ago a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships, with which to gain itself an empire (帝国). It gained the empire, but, without its trees, its soil became hard and poor. When the empire fell to pieces, the home country found itself faced by flood and starvation.Even though a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees, it is difficult for it to persuade villagers to see this. The villagers want wood to cook their food with; and they can earn money by selling wood. They are usually too lazy to plant and look after the trees. So, unless the government has a good system of control, or can educate the people, the forests will slowly disappear.This does not only mean that the villagers' children and grandchildren will have fewer trees. The results are even more serious, for where there are trees their roots break the soil up allowing the rain to sink in and also bind the soil, thus preventing its being washed away easily but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away from the surface, causing flood.51. What is the most important function of trees?A. Providing fuelB. Offering shade.C. Preventing natural disasterD. Providing wood.52. What eventually happened to the empire in the paragraph?A. Its people died of hunger.B. It fell to pieces.C. It became a giant empire.D. It built many ships with wood.53. It is implied in the passage that the villagers__________.A. want a plentiful supply of trees.B. want firewood badly.C. just want to get money.D. don't realize the importance of trees.54. The role of trees is to__________.A. loosen soilB. keep soil in positionC. harden soilD. both A and B55. What is the passage mainly concerned with?A. The benefits of trees.B. Trees and soil protectionC. The various uses of trees.D. Different attitudes toward trees.Task 2I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court (法庭).After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines and it cost me $215.My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident. Yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that they played for time, I left without getting a cent.My experiences taught me two things about America: firstly, in a country like America money is everything. It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality (职业道德). Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talk about America we should see both its good and bad sides.56. The author’s roommate offered to help him because_______.A. he felt sorry for the authorB. he thought it was a chance to make some moneyC. he knew the doctor was a very good oneD. he wanted the author to have a good lawyer57. A good doctor is essential for the author to _________.A. be properly treatedB. talk with the person responsible for the accidentC. recover before he leaves AmericaD. eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury58. The word “charge” in this passage means_________.A. be responsibleB. accuseC. ask as a priceD. claim59. Both the doctor and the lawyer in this passage are very________.A. friendlyB. greedyC. professionalD. busy60. What conclusion can you draw from the story?A. Going to court is something very common in America.B. One must be very careful while driving a car.C. There are more bad sides in America than good sides.D. Money is more important than other things in the US.Task 3How men first learned to invent words is unknown, in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feeling, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letter, we call words.The power of words, then lies in their associations – the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meanings for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appear powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.61. The origin of language is ______.A. a legend handed down from the pastB. a matter that is hidden or secretC. a question difficult to answerD. a problem not yet solved62. One of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and action was that _______.A. they could agree upon certain signsB. they could write them downC. they could communicate with each otherD. they could combine them together63. What is true about words? .A. they are used to express feeling only.B. they can not be written downC. they are simply soundsD. they are mysterious64. The real power of words exists in their ______.A. propertiesB. characteristicsC. peculiarityD. representative function65. Which of the following statements is true? .A. the more we read and learn, the more ignorant we areB. the more we read and learn, the more confused we will beC. the more we read and learn, the more learned we areD. the more we read and learn, the more snobbish we becomeTask 4Directions:The following is an email from Peter Smith. After reading it, you should give brief answers to the 5 questions (numbered 61 through 65) below. The answers (in no more than 5 words) should bewritten after the corresponding numbers.Sam and Joe are astronauts. There was once a very dangerous trip and the more experienced astronauts knew there was only a small chance of coming back alive. Sam and Joe, however, thought it would be exciting though a little dangerous. “We are the best men for the job,” they said to the boss. “There may be problems, but we can find the answers.”“They are the last people I’d trust,” thought the boss. “But all the other astronauts have refused to go.”Once they were in space, Joe had to go outside to make some repairs. When the repairs were done; he tried to get back inside the spaceship. But the door was locked. He knocked but there was no answer. He knocked again, louder this time, and again, no answer came. Then he hit the door as he could and finally a voice said, “Who’s there?”“It’s me. Who else could it be?” shouted Joe. Sam let him in all right but you can imagine that Joe never asked to go on a trip with Sam again.66. Why were most of the astronauts unwilling to go on the trip?They thought they .67. Why were Sam and Joe chosen?They were the only men who .68. What did the two astronauts think the trip would be like?.69. Joe didn’t want to work with Sam again. What’s the reason?Sam was possibly .70. What does this story show us?of the astronauts’ life.Part IV TranslationSection A Put the following into Chinese. （2×5）71.
