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.

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.

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.

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. Also adults have more trouble than children in making new friends who speak the foreign language.【 】61. A. few B. little C. a few D. a little 【 】62. A. therefore B. moreover C. however D. so【 】63.

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.
