It is an exciting idea to send two robots driving over very different places of Mars at the same time, to be able to see what is on the other side of the hill. Last month, NASA announced it was sending one robot to Mars, but after two weeks, it decided there was enough money for two. The robots will be sent up within two weeks of each other in May and June of 2002 from Kennedy Space Center. If all goes will, the two spacecraft will touch down on Mars, after a seven-and-a-half-month space flight, on January 2 and 20, 2004. The robots, each weighing 150 kilograms, can cover 100 meters per day. They are designed to be able to examine the mineral content of the soil, and their special camera will be under control from Earth, the robots are able to move more freely compared to those sent up before them. The actual landing points have not been determined yet, but the scientists say it will be in areas where they hope to find water. 41.According to the news report, scientists plan to send robots up to Mars to _____.A. find out whether there is water on MarsB. see if robots can find minerals thereC. test how fast robots can drive thereD. prove that robots can work on Mars 42. How long in between will the two robots be sent to Mars?A. 1 year.B. 7.5 months.C. 2 months.D. 2 weeks. 43. One of the important jobs for the robots on Mars is to _____.A. study the soilB. walk everywhereC. test the new camera D. find a suitable landing point 44. We can infer from the last sentence that scientists_____. A. have changed the landing points many times B. hope to land the robots on the surface of water C. are still working on the plan D. know where they can find water B Lillian Beard whistled and smiled while she worked. “Why are you so happy?”her co-workers asked her. “Last week I got my income tax refund,”Lillian answered.“This morning I went to the bank and cashed the check. I have $ 462 in my pocket. I’m thinking about the money. How will I spend it?” After work, Lillian came home and decided to wash come clothes. She looked at the jeans she was wearing. They were dirty, so they put them in the washing machine, too. Ten minutes later she thought, “The money! It’s in the pocket of my jeans!”Lillian ran to the washing machine and took out the jeans. The money was still in the pocket, but it was wet. Lillian put the money on the kitchen table. A few hours later the money was still wet. “Hmmm,”Lillian thought.“How can I dry this money?”Then Lillian had an idea. She could dry the money in her microwave oven! Lillian put the money in the microwave, set the timer for five minutes, and left the kitchen. When Lillian came back a few minutes later, she saw a fire in the microwave. She opened the oven door, blew out the fire, and looked at her money. The money was burned. The next day Lillian took the burned money to the bank. A teller at the bank told her, “If I can see the numbers on theburned bills, I can give new money.”Unfortunately, the teller found numbers on only a few bills. The teller took those bills and gave Lillian $ 17. A newspaper reporter heard about the burned money. He wrote a story about Lillian for the newspaper. Several people read the story and called the newspaper. “Tell Mr. Beard to send the burned money to the US Department of Treasury,”the people said. “Maybe she can get her money back.” Every year about 30,000 people send damaged money to the Treasury Department. Experts there look carefully at the damaged money. Sometimes they can give people new money for the damaged money. Once a farmer’s cow ate-his money ––– thousands of dollars. The farmer killed the cow and sent the cow’s stomach, with the money inside, to the Treasury Department. The experts gave the farmer new money. Lillian sent her money to the Treasury Department. The experts looked at Lillian’s burned money and sent her a check for $ 231. What did Lillian buy with the money? She didn’t buy anything. She gave the $ 231 to friends who needed money. Lillian said, “When I burned the $ 462, I thought, ‘Well, my money is gone.’”The check for $ 231 was a big surprise. I decided to give the money to my friends. Money is important, but people are more important to me. 45. Where does Lillian’s $ 462 come from?A. Her salaryB. Her bonus(奖⾦)C. She picked up on her way homeD. Tax which has been overcharged 46. How did Lillian dry the money?A. By blowingB. By putting it in the sunC. By drying it in microwaveD. By putting on the table 47. How did Lillian know she could send her money to the Treasury Department?A. Her bank told her.B. People from the newspaperC. A friend phoned her.D. She thought out herself. 48. Lillian gave her money to ________.A. her motherB. her friendsC. Treasure DepartmentD. farmer C Your mobile phone rings, and instead of the usual electronic signals, it’s playing your favorite music. A friend sends your favorite song to cheer you up. One day, a record company might forward new records and music videos to your phone. The mobile business is getting into the music business. For the moment, the interest is in pleasant ring tones, but some companies are hoping to take full advantage of the next generation of mobile phones ― all – purpose gadgets(⼩玩意⼉)that blend phone, personal stereo, video player and Internet browser into one. Finally, record companies might send new records and videos to fans who register(注册)their cell phone numbers. The fans could pass music or songs along to friends― a kind of musical trading card. Unlike Internet tracks, mobile downloads would be easy for record companies to control, said former record industry official Ralph Simon, who is now chairman of Yourmobile, based in Santa Monic, California. “If you pass a song along to other phones through a network, each phone can be charged,” said Simon. “It’s like going through a toll gate(收费站). There’s more possibility for copyright control than there is on the Internet.” Massachusetts – Based Converse is offering a service in Portugal and the Netherlands that lets people record tunes on their voice mail or send music as presents to friends. Finally, people might be able to sing karaoke and pass them along. The company is sure that people will want to use music to reach out and touch someone. “A mobile phone is not a listening machine, and you’ll be disappointed if you think you can change it to a radio,” said Ohad Ouziel, a creative manager for Converse in Israel. “But if someone sends you a phone while you’re on vacation, you appreciate the feedling.” 49. The underlined word “blend” in the second paragraph most probably means________.A. sendB. becomeC. mixD. compare 50. “Massachusetts – based Converse”in the sixth paragraph probably refers to_________.A. a personB. a city in IsraelC. a state of the USAD. a company 51. Record companies __________ the idea of passing songs and music along mobile phones.A. are worried aboutB. are interested inC. try hard to stopD. take no notice of 52. According to Ralph Simon it would be easier to _________ through mobile phone network than through the Internet.A. protect copyright of music worksB. send personal messagesC. pass along songs and musicD. send voice mail D Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes into touch with them. Their values ― this can not be repeated too often ― aren’t necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a room with rotten food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone on bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interrupting personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we’re in danger of carrying this idea of personal freedom to the point where serious risk(冒险)are being taken with the health and safety of the old. Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The old is like a car; it needs more mechanical repair as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results are. And at what point should you stop to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by continuing the development of medicine to excite the forgetful old mind and to m a k e t h e o l d b o d y a c t i v e , k n o w i n g t h a t i t i s d e s i g n e d t o d i e ?

Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choiceBy adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly increase their children’’s language development. It is surprising but true. How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children’’s language development. If a parent encourages the child to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child’’s language skills increase.A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents. Half of the children participated in the experimental study; the other half acted as the control group. In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions. For example, the parent should ask, "What is the doggie doing?" rather than "Is the doggie running away?" The parents in the experimental group were also instructed in how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers.At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary. Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.1. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A Children who talk a lot are more intelligent.B Parents who listen to their children can teach them more.C Active children should read more and be given more attention.D Verbal ability can easily be developed with proper methods.答案:D本题考查的是考生对细节的把握。

Passage OneAmericans this year will swallow 15, 000 tons of aspirin, one of the safest and most effective drugs invented by man. As the most popular medicine in the world today, it is an effective pain reliever. Its bad effects are relatively mild, and it is cheap.Although aspirin was first sold by a German company in 1899, it has been around much longer than that. Hippocrates, in ancient Greece, understood the medical value of the leaves and tree bark which today are known to contain salicylates, the chemical in aspirin. During the 19th century there was a great deal of experimentation in Europe with this chemical, and it led to the introduction of aspirin. By 19l5, aspirin tablets(片剂) were available in the United States. For millions of people suffering from arthritis, aspirin is the only thing that works. A small quantity of aspirin (two five-grain tablets) relieves pain and inflammation. It also reduces fever by interfering with some of the body’s reactions. Aspirin, in short, is truly the 20th-century wonder drug. On the other hand, it is also the second largest suicide drug and is the leading cause of poisoning among children. It has side effects that, although relatively mild, are largely unrecognized among users.Aspirin is very irritating to the stomach lining, and many aspirin takers complain about upset stomach. There is a right way and a wrong way to take aspirin. The best way is to chew the tablets before swallowing them with water, but few people can stand the bitter taste. Some people suggest crushing the tablets in milk or orange juice and drinking that.16. This article discusses __________.A. the multiple functions of aspirinB. how and why aspirin was inventedC. the history and the features of aspirinD. how to take aspirin properly17. According to the second paragraph, salicylates is __________.A. leaves and tree barksB. the old name of aspirinC. the name of a US companyD. a component of aspirin18. Which symptom can NOT be treated by aspirin?A. feverB. reactionsC. painD. inflammation19. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the best way to take aspirin is to take it __________.A. with bitter waterB. with orange juiceC. in tablet formD. in powder form20. The author of this article seems to be__________.A. against the use of aspirinB. in favour of aspirinC. doubtful about aspirinD. not interested in aspirinPassage TwoDr. Mary Jo Bane is the associate director of the Center for Research on Women. Her recent study found “surprising evidence of the persistence of American commitments to family life”, which cast doubt on some common myths about American family.Myth 1: The American Family is Dying Because of the Soaring Divorce Rate.According to Dr. Bane’s study, the American family is changing, not dying. It is becoming smaller and the divorce rate is high. But Dr. Bane says that despite the high divorce rate, marriage has never been more popular. The majority of divorced people re-marry, but only 2％marry more than twice. Most marriages last a long time, and a large proportion of divorces are from teenage marriages. Depending on the specific situation, there’s often good reason for teenage marriages to break up.Myth 2: Working Mothers are Destroying the Family by Neglecting Their Children.“There’s no evidence that children receive less attention from mothers who work outside the home than from mothers working inside the home,” says Dr. Bane. “You have to divide the time into different categories: simple physical function and educational time or development time when a mother plays with the child. So far we haven’t seen the amount of educational or development time vary much, whether or not the mother works outside the home.” In fact, Dr. Bane finds evidence that working mothers, especially in the middle class, try to compensate for working by setting aside time exclusively for their children. “They probably read more to their children and spend more time in planned activities with them than nonworking mothers do.” says Dr. Bane.21. Dr. Mary Jo Bane’s study seems to suggest that _________.A. Americans are persistent in careerB. Americans are serious with their familiesC. American families are all breaking upD. American families are perfect as usual22. It can be inferred that the common myths of American family consider family life to be _________.A. in great dangerB. quite wonderfulC. changing too fastD. very satisfying23. According to the article, which of the following is true about marriage and divorce?A. Divorced people never consider a second marriage.B. Teenage couples often divorce out of no reason.C. Less and less people plan to get married.D. Very few people have a third or fourth marriage.24. For the children whose mothers go out to work, __________.A. it is better to have mothers at homeB. almost no attention is paid to themC. no less attention is paid to themD. a lot of time is spent playing gamespared with nonworking mothers, working mothers________.A. spare less time to stay with their childrenB. do more educational activities with childrenC. do very little simple physical houseworkD. avoid disturbing their work by family dutiesPassage ThreeCrime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns in UK.The pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do rape and other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime: 62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p. m. and 6 a. m.Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6 p. m. and 2 a. m. on a Saturday night in December, January or February. The most uncriminal month of all is May; however, more dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.On the other hand, our intellectual seasonal cycles are completely different from our criminal tendencies. Professor Huntington, of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, made extensive studies to discover the seasons when people read serious books, attend scientific meetings, make the highest scores on examinations, and propose the most changes to patents. In all instances, he found a spring peak and an autumn peak separated by a summer low. On the other hand, Professor Huntington’s studies indicated that June is the peak month for suicides and admissions to mentalhospitals. June is also a peak month for marriages!26. The seasonal cycle of crime patterns is proved by_________.A. the figures in police recordsB. 2,400 cities and townsC. a magazine reportD. the studies by police officers27. According to paragraph 2, a murder would most possibly occur on _________.A. a weekday morning in springB. a weekday morning in autumnC. a weekend night in summerD. a weekend night in winter28. What makes May a special month of the year?A. All types of crimes happen in May.B. There is no crime happened in May.C. Criminals increase in number in May.D. Dog attacks are most frequent in May.29. Which behavior is NOT an example of human intellectual activities?A. Reading books on philosophy.B. Attending wedding ceremony.C. Working on mathematics questions.D. Innovating engineering machinery.30. According to Professor Huntington’s study, June is the peak month when people _________.A. get divorcedB. recover from mental illnessC. try to kill themselvesD. climb high and low mountainsPassage FourIn Lusaka, Zambia, a young man applying for a job was told to see the manager. He leaned over the receptionist’s desk and asked. “What tribe（部落） is he?” When the receptionist told him that the manager was a Mashona, the applicant replied, “Then I’ll never get the job.”This phenomenon is called tribalism（部落主义）. There are more than 2,000 tribes in black Africa. Each has its own language, customs, and physical characteristics that make its members almost immediately recognizable to a person from another tribe. To the Westerner, tribalism is one of the most difficult of African customs to understand. It makes many people think of savagery, warfare, or old-fashioned customs.However, to most Africans, tribalism simply means very strong loyalty to one’s ethnic group. It is a force that can be both good and bad. By definition tribalism means sharing among members of the extended family. It makes sure that a person is taken care of by his own group tribesman. To give a job to a fellow is not wrong; it is an obligation. Similarly, for a politician or military leader, it is considered good common sense to choose his closest advisers from people of his own tribe. This ensures security, continuity, and authority. Tribal loyalty may mean a quick promotion —from sergeant to captain, from clerk to manager—within a very short time.Modern African politicians publicly speak out against tribal divisions. Yet it remains perhapsthe most powerful force in day-to-day African life.31. In paragraph 1, why did the young man believe his job application will be refused?A. His behavior was not appropriate.B.

Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneTwo hundred years ago, American students went to American schools. Like you, they studied arithmetic, spelling and geography. Unlike you, they also studied Greek and Latin. In fact, students spent more than half their time studying Greek and Latin.The same was true for most students in Europe. Until the seventh century, all educated Europeans knew Latin. It did not matter if they lived in England or Italy or France or Spain. If they were educated, they knew Latin.During the seventh century, educated Europeans began to study Greek as well as Latin. Greek and Latin had been the leading languages of the ancient Greeks and Romans. All educated Europeans were expected to know these languages.To educated Europeans, the languages of the Greeks and the Romans were important. The ideas of the Greeks and Romans were also important. People knew that many of their own ideas had come from the Greeks and the Romans. To understand their own culture, they must understand its origin. They knew that those beginnings lay in the classical world.Today we have so many things to study that few people have time to learn Greek and Latin. Few of you will study either language in school. Yet the ideas of the Greeks and the Romans are still important to us. These ideas still help to shape Western culture today. To understand our own culture, we must understand the culture of the classical world.36. A good synonym for "origin" isA. peopleB. futureC. beginningD. culture37. According to this passage, all educated Europeans of the seventh century were expected to studyA. physical science and chemistryB. Greek and LatinC. democracy and communismD. French and Spanish38. Today, most of people won't study either Greek or Latin becauseA. they are no longer importantB. people do not have enough timeC. they are no longer existedD. people can not learn them well39. What can we conclude from this passage?A. Greeks and Romans significantly influenced European culture.B. The Greeks were the founders of democracy.C. The Greeks and Romans were bitter enemies.D. People of the classical world were barbaric and uneducated.Passage TwoWould you eat a bacon, lettuce and love apple sandwich'?. You probably have eaten many of them. Love apple was the name used many years ago for the tomato.The tomato is originally an American plant. It was found in South America by early Spanish explorers. The word tomato comes from the native Nahuatl word tomatl. But when it moved north, the plant earned a different name. Remarkably, the settlers in North America thought it was poisonous. They believed that to eat it was surely to die. It was said that deserted suitors would threaten to eat a tomato to cause their coldhearted lovers regret. Because of this legend, the settlers called the tomato a "love apple. " While people enjoyed other native plants such as corn and sweet potatoes, everyone avoided the tomato.No one knows who first dared to eat a tomato. Perhaps someone was brave enough, or lovesick enough, to try out the truth of the rumors. Of course, whoever ate this fruit was perfectly safe. No one died from eating a love apple. Still, it was many years before the people fully believed that the tomato was a safe, and even good food. But its use did become common, and the plant was sent across the ocean to become part of many traditional European dishes.40. The language from which we derived the word tomato isA. PortugueseB. SpanishC. NahuatlD. European41. North American people didn't eat tomatoes at first becauseA. they had too much other foodB. they mistakenly thought they were poisonousC. settlers ate only traditional European foodsD. no one liked the taste42. The underlined word "suitor" in the second paragraph meansA. boyfriendB. laundererC. tailorD. explorer43. A good title for this passage would beA. Life in Early AmericaB. What Happens to the BrokenheartedC. The History of the TomatoD. Vegetables in Our DietPassage ThreeNature has devised many ways to protect creatures' eyes. The most common protection is the eyelid--a fold of skin that closes over the eye, protecting it from damage. Eyelashes are useful for keeping out dust and other irritants, and tears wash away any particles that get through the other defenses.Some creatures, including most birds, have three eyelids. The upper and lower lids act like human lids and keep out twigs, dirt and sand. The third eyelid, however, is a semitransparent tissue that crosses over the eye from the inside corner to the outside corner. Because of this protective membrane, birds seldom have to blink. They close their eyes only when they go to sleep. In ducks, this third eyelid self as an underwater diving mask that helps the ducks find food.Most fish and snakes have no eyelids at all. Instead, a hard glassy covering protects their eyes. In fish, water constantly sweeps away dirt from the covering. And a snake's eyesight is usually so bad that a little dirt obscuring its vision does not disturb it greatly.Eyelashes defend the eye by shading it from glare. They also act like miniature brushes to remove dust. Camels have lashes that are four inches long to protect their eyes from windblown sand in the desert.44. A camel has long eyelashesA. to keep windblown sand out of its eyesB. that get in the way of its sightC. to help it see betterD. to attract other camels45. The writer implies that eyelids areA. not found on lizardsB. nice to look atC. always covered with eyelashesD. the most effective eye protection46. The author compares the duck's third eyelid to aA. tissueB. glassy coveringC. tiny brushD. diving mask47. A good title for this passage would beA. Look OutB. Birds' EyesC. Eyes in the NightD. Protecting the EyePassage FourAs part of an ongoing campaign against polyvinyl chloride (聚氯乙烯), a Virginia-based environmental advocacy group today called on manufacturers and retailers to phase out its use in shower curtains. The Center for Health, Environment and Justice (CHEJ) , released the results of a small study indicating that PVC ( 聚氯乙烯)-containing shower curtains are capable of emitting scores of potentially harmful materials, into people's bathrooms. A previous study, conducted by Environmental Protection Agency researchers, also found that plastic shower curtains can emit toxic compounds into the air.There's still debate among scientists about just how serious the health effects are especially at low doses. However, CHEJ urges consumers to avoid using PVC shower curtains, as well as many other PVC products.For people who are concerned about their shower curtains, there are alternatives. IKEA phased out PVC shower curtains 11 years ago, switching to ethylene vinyl acetate (乙烯醋酸共聚物). The company has said that 88 percent of its shower curtains would be PVC free by spring of 2008.Manufacturers are not required to label shower curtains, but some do list" PVC" or" vinyl" on the packaging. Numerous online retailers, sell shower curtains--primarily cotton or hemp--that are free of PVC. However, mildew(发霉) can be a problem with cotton and hemp products.48. What did the study released by the Center for Health, Environment and Justice show?A. That PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride.B. Manufacturers are not required to label shower curtains.C. That most shower curtains sold at IKEA are made from PVC.D. That PVC shower curtains may release potentially harmful materials.49. What material are the shower curtains sold at IKEA made from?A. Ethylene vinyl acetate.B. Polyvinyl chloride.C. Cotton.D. PVC and EVA.50. What's the biggest problem with hemp and cotton shower curtains?A. They are see-through.B. They are too expensive.C. They may cause mildew.D. They emit harmful materials.51. Is it easy for consumers to tell that a shower curtain is made from PVC?A. Yes, that information is always on the shower curtain label.B. Not always, because shower curtains don't have to be labeled.C. Yes, but only if they're made by IKEA after 2008.D. No, because they only contain low doses of PVC.Passage FiveCompanies that employ illegal immigrants are to be named and shamed in a further attempt to crack down on people smuggling. The move by the Home Office comes four months after officials launched a concerted effort to identify and prosecute companies breaking the law. More than 200 companies have already been fined for hiring illegal labor. The Home Office says names of companies and directors are to be published on the UK Border Agency website. The agency will publish how many illegal immigrants the company was employing and how much it was fined.By May this year there had been 137 prosecutions under the new rules leading to fines totaling 500,000--almost 3,000 per firm. The total number of prosecutions was 10 times more than were carried out in 2007, and double the total for the previous decade.Immigration chiefs are also switching their focus from small-time illegal employers, such as takeaway restaurants, in an effort to major organized criminal enterprises supplying illegal labor, often relying on international networks to smuggle people into the UK.Some 7,500 immigration officers will be re-organized into more localized teams with police and customs officials in an effort to better target what the Home Office says are illegal working hotspots. These could include areas of the economy where there is a high demand for labor including agriculture, construction and hospitality. Nobody knows how many people are working without permission in the UK--although estimates put the number of illegal residents at more than 500,000.Trade Union leaders have also raised concerns about the government's strategy, arguing that it could drive the worst employers further underground, penalizing exceptionally poor workers unable to break out of a situation they did not necessarily choose.52. What has happened in the first four months of the campaign to crack down on companies hiring illegal workers?A. Nothing. The campaign is still in its beginning stage.B. 7,500 immigration officers will be re-organized into more localized teams.C. 200 companies have been fined.D. 3,000 small-time illegal employers have been cracked down.53. What steps will officials take to "shame" these companies?A. They will publish their names as well as the details of the offence online.B. They will shut down their business.C. They will inform the police about the illegal hiring.D. They will give poor workers working permission.54. Immigration officials are now focusing onA. small-time illegal employersB. fining individual workersC. large-scale organized criminal operationsD. the government's strategy55. Trade Union officials fear that this new campaign (战役) might end up unjustly penalizing , by driving the employers further underground.A. employersB. workersC. illegal residentsD. companiesⅤ.

Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneKids often ask Scout Bassett, of Palm Desert, California, if she wishes she had two normal legs. Bassett, 18, answers, “No. I have never known anything different, and it would seem weird to me. Besides, if it weren’t for the missing leg, I wouldn’t have the opportunities I have”Scout has faced big challenges. When she was months old, she suffered from terrible burns. Her right leg was especially damaged, and doctors cut it off above the knee. When she was 14, she got a high-tech leg made for sports and put it to the test right away in a race for disabled athletes. “I remember being terrified because this was my first time,” she says. ”But my doctor said, ‘you have to start somewhere.’”Scout was waiting nervously for the race to start when athlete Sarah Reinertsen came up and said,”I’ve been doing this for a while. Let me give you some tips.” Reinertsen, who lost her leg when she was seven, is the first disabled woman to have finished the Ironman triathlon(铁人三项) in Hawaii. She works with an organization to help support people like Scout.Reinertsen’s encouragement changed the teenager’s life. She lost that first race, but gained the confidence that she needed to compete. If Sarah could do it, she could too. Training hard, she now runs competitively and also finds time to share her story with school groups.“Sometimes people look at someone like me or at Sarah and think they have nothing in common with us. I tell them that even if you aren’t physically challenged, everybody has challenges of some kind---maybe with family, or homework, or friends.”“No matter what it is, you can overcome that obstacle,” she says. “Everything you need is inside your heart. Take small steps. As time goes by, the steps will get bigger and you will reach your dream.”16.Why does Scout answer “No” when asked if she wants two normal legs?_______A. She’s scared of changing her current situation.B. She couldn’t have them even if she wanted to.C. She has never thought of it before.D. She’s satisfied with what she has achieved as a disabled.17. What does the doctor mean by saying “You have to start somewhere”(para.2)________A. She has to do it sooner or later.B. She has to find the right place to to start.C. That will be a memorable first time.D. That is a perfect time to start.18. Scout’s childhood experience _______.A. were the cause of her shynessB. were a nightmare until she reached 14C. didn’t stop her from fulfilling herself.D. didn’t have much influence on her later life.19. Which of the following statements is true?________A. Sarah shared her story with school students.B. Sarah started to compete at the age of seven.C. Scout has been inspired by Sarah’s success.D. Scout joined Sarah’s organization to help others.20. Through Scout’s story, the author wants to tell us _________.A. the disabled are mentally stronger than othersB. inner strength can help one overcome difficultiesC. good things will come no matter whatD. everybody has to challenge himselfPassage TwoIMPATIENCE has been around for a long time. There is nothing new about people losing their patience while stuck in traffic or waiting in line. But some experts believe that people are less patient today than in the past-and for reasons that might surprise you.Some analysts suggest that in recent years many people are less patient because of technology. They suggest that “digital technology, from cellphones to cameras to email to iPads, is changing our lives. The instant results we get from this technology have in turn increased our desire for instant gratification in other aspects of our lives.”Psychologist Jennifer Hartstein makes some observations. She explains that “we have become an immediate satisfaction culture, and we expect things to move quickly, efficiently and in the way we want. When that doesn’t happen, we tend to become increasingly frustrated and unsatisfied.Some believe that e-mail is losing popularity and could soon become outdated. Why? Because many people who send messages do not have the patience to wait hours, or even minutes, for a response. Also, with e-mails, as with letter writing, introductory and concluding greetings are often expected. But many people consider such formalities(客套)to be boring and time-consuming. They prefer instant messaging。

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneWe often hear people talking about the generation gap. The name is new but the idea is old. The world keeps changing and it has always kept changing. During the second century after Christ, a wise man said, “Bury me on my face because in a little while everything will be turned upside down.”There has always been a gap between generations, though more people talk about it now. The following shows what Old Mr. Ellis thinks ‘generation gap’ means: young people and their parents don’t understand each other.“When I was a boy, I thought the world was a beautiful place. My life was very pleasant. But when I was older I learned about people who were treated badly, people who didn’t have enough to eat. I wanted to help them, and I married a girl who wanted to help them, too. We went to meetings and talked a lot, but it didn’t seem to make much difference.“Our children grew up in a world at war. They didn’t know when the war would stop. They wanted their children to have nice clothes and toys. They didn’t want to think about the future. They thought nothing could be done about it.“Now I have grandchildren and they have their own ideas. They are trying to make the world better. They are trying to help other people. They are making people listen to them. I’m proud of their generation.”16. ‘Generation gap’ most probably means _________.A. an old name with new meaningB. the great changes between different periodsC. the fact that things will be turned upside down soonD. old and young people don’t understand each other17. The gap between generations _________.A. has recently appearedB. has existed for a long timeC. only exists in some special timesD. is something not much talked about today18. What is Mr. Ellis’ attitude towards his grandchildren?A. He doesn’t understand them very well.B. He often criticize them.C. He likes them very much.D. He doesn’t care much about them.19. Which of the following statements is true according to Mr. Ellis?A. His children thought a lot about the future.B. His children always listened to others.C. His grandchildren try to make the world better.D. His grandchildren want to have nice clothes and toys.20. This passage is about _________.A. the generation gapB. Mr. Ellis’ life storyC. Mr. Ellis’ familyD. the differences among childrenPassage OneMr. Anders worked in a hospital. Three years ago, when he was sixty-eight, he retired. But a lot of people still come to ask him to look them over. He’s very busy in the daytime and he wants to have a good rest at night.Half a year ago a young man moved into the room upstairs. At first he was quiet. The old man was satisfied with him. But now he has several friends. They often come to see him in the evening. They talk loudly, sing and dance. Mr. Anders is unhappy, but he seldom says anything about it. It was the young man’s birthday yesterday. All his friends came at seven in the evening. They drank too much and made a lot of noise. The old man couldn’t fall asleep the whole night. In the morning, as soon as he got up, he went upstairs and knocked at the door. The young man opened it for him and asked him in.“Did you hear me strike the ceiling last night, young man?” asked Mr. Anders. “It doesn’t matter, sir.” said the young man, “I don’t mind it. It was very noisy in my room, too.”21. Mr. Anders is a .A. teacherB. policemanC. doctorD. gatekeeper22. According to the passage, after Mr. Anders’ retirement, a lot of people come to ask him to .A. live with themB. check their healthC. they don’t pay him for itD. his medical skill is good23. Mr. Anders was first satisfied with the young man upstairs because ________.A. he treated people friendlyB. he talked to others politelyC. he didn’t make much noiseD. he didn’t speak much24. The word strike (in para. 4) in the story means .A. knock lightlyB. hit repeatedlyC. touch gentlyD. beat cheerfully25. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The young man thought Mr. Anders came to say sorry to himB. Mr. Anders wanted to drink with the young man.C. Mr. Anders hoped the young man to move to another house.D. The young man was afraid to meet Mr. Anders.Passage ThreeFor anyone who come to Hawaii, the people and the land always offer an endless gift of love and kindness.What are the beauties of Hawaii? Let’s start with four.The beach, famous for its water temperature, air temperature and waves, naturally, is the first beauty. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. Most of them are covered with fine white sand. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world. Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thing you would notice? They are volcanoes, of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing. The most famous volcano on Hawaii is Mauna Loa. It is the world’s most active volcano. Because Mauna Loa has erupted so often, it has become the biggest (but not the tallest) mountain in the world.What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice? It probably wouldn’t be just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruit and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane and pineapples are Hawaii’s biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a thousand years and now Hawaii produces over one million tons of sugar a year. As for pineapples, the islands produce more than any other place in the world, which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world.The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who live there. From its earliest days, Hawaii has had a peaceful history. The Polynesians who came to the islands about a thousand years ago believed that a stranger should be welcomed. They offered strangers food and comfort, and thought of them as brothers. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps this is because they care more for human life than they care for the machine. There is an old Hawaiian law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to. What makes the people of Hawaii so beautiful is their feeling about people. There are 64 different combinations of races on the islands, and they all live in peace. They believe “Above all nations is humanity.” That is the most beautiful thing of all.26. According to the passage, Hawaii is made up of _________.A. one islandB. twenty islands.C. sixty-four islands.D. hundreds of islands.27. Why are the volcanoes so special to the islands?A. They erupt often.B. They are growing.C. They actually made the islands.D. They are not a part of the islands.28. What has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world？A. sugarB. fruitsC. sugar caneD. pineapples29. According to the passage, why are the people in Hawaii the most beautiful thing?A. Because they had a peaceful history.B. Because there are 64 different races on the islands.C. Because they care more for people than anything else.D. Because they can sleep in the middle of the road if they want.30. According to the passage, “above all nations is humanity” might mean _________.A. nations all share the same humanity.B. humanity has no national boundariesC. nations in the world all have humanityD. humanity is more important than nationsPassage FourAll over the world, and for many different reasons, there are millions of people who rarely or never eat meat. These people are called vegetarians. To people who eat meat, being a vegetarian may seem like a very strange thing, but most vegetarians are very happy with their choice of diet. They chose such diets for several different reasons.First, vegetarians have an enormous health advantage. One of the major health problems in modern societies is not too little protein but too much food, especially in the form of animal fats. Medical evidence suggests that animal fats, including butter, contribute to the development of cholesterol in the human body. High amounts of cholesterol seem to be part of the cause of heart disease. Most vegetarians have low levels of cholesterol. High amounts of animal fats also seem to lead to certain kinds of cancer, and vegetarians are typically less vulnerable to these cancers than people who eat a lot of meat. Overall, studies comparing the health of vegetarians and meat-eaters show that the meat-eaters are twice as likely to die of heart disease as vegetarians are.Better health is one reason that people choose to become vegetarians. Another reason is religion. Some religions forbid the eating of meat. The largest of these is the Hindu religion, which has about 600 million believers in the world. Although not all Hindus are vegetarian, many are, and there are many believers of other religions such Buddhism and even some Christian religions who also do not eat meat.Many vegetarians do not eat meat simply because they do not like the taste of it. They have no religious or philosophical reasons; they just do not like meat. Another important reason that vegetarians give for not eating meat is the health advantages that were given above. Lastly, there are many people who do not eat meat because they just do not like the idea of killing animals for food. They believe that life, all life, is valuable, and that we do not have to destroy lifeto feed ourselves when there are other good sources of food.31. According to the passage, people choose to be vegetarians for the following reasons EXCEPT _________.A. they want to stay healthyB. they are too kind to put the idea of killing animalsC. they live in areas where meat supply is not adequateD. they should not eat meat due to their religious belief32. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?A. Vegetarians enjoy a more healthy life than the meat eaters.B. Heart disease and cancer are caused by large amounts of protein.C. There are twice as many meat-eaters as vegetarians who die of cancer.D. There are less health problems in modern society due to advanced medical care.33. Which is true about the vegetarians?A. Vegetarians never eat meat for whatever reasons.B. There are more vegetarians than meat-eaters in the world.C. Vegetarians cannot eat meat because of their health problems.D. Some vegetarians cannot get used to eating meat because of the taste.34. What does “vulnerable” mean in Paragraph 2?A. Having low level of cholesterol.B. Having high level of cholesterol.C. Having weak ability to resist diseases and harms.D. Having strong ability to resist diseases and harms.35. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. being a vegetarian may be a very strange thingB. vegetarians eat meat on some special occasionsC. all vegetarians have reasons for their not eating meatD. most vegetarians believe that life without meat is happyPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

The person sitting next to me was a government engineer going to Peshawar to inspect the roads. He said that traveling by bus was an excellent way to test the roads. We 76 many villages on the way and stopped once or twice to buy cold drinks, because it was very hot and dusty. The countryside was brown and dry and there were long stretches with no people or villages 77 sight. We had to stop once at some road works, too, which made my traveling companion very 78 .Most of us were dozing in the afternoon heat when we were 79 by a sudden noise, which sounded like a 80 from a gun. As the bus swerved and then stopped at the side of the road, I remembered all the 81 I had heard about bands of robbers who 82 attack travelers on deserted roads like this.

But I don’t think it’s a good idea for high school students to use cell phones in classroom. Since for some students, they are not able to tell right from wrong. They might spend too muchtime sending messages, listening music or surfing on the internet using the phones. With no doubt, they would spend less time studying accordingly.So it’s not wise for parents to buy their children cell phones unless they can make sure they will be used properly.

2014年成人高等教育本科毕业生申请学士学位外语考试Passage1It happened in February about twelve years ago.I had left school a couple of months before that and was not due to go to university until the following October.I was still living at home at the time.One morning I was in Richmond,a suburb of London near where I lived.I was looking for a temporary job so that I could save up some money to go traveling.As it was a fine day and I was in no hurry,I was taking my time,looking in shop windows,strolling in the park,and sometimes just stopping and looking around me.It must have been this obvious aimlessness that led to my downfall.It was about half past eleven when it happened.I was just walking out of the local library, having unsuccessfully sought employment there,when I saw a man walking across the road with the obvious intention of talking to me.I thought he was going to ask me the time.Instead,he said he was a police officer and he was arresting me.At first I thought it was some kind of joke.But then another policeman appeared,this time in uniform,and I was left in no doubt.'But what for?'I asked.'Wandering with intent to commit an arrestable offence,'he said.'What offence?'I asked.'Theft,'he said.'Theft of what?'I asked.'Milk bottles,'he said,and with a perfectly straight face too!'Oh,'I said.It turned out there had been a lot of petty thefts in the area,particularly that of stealing milk bottles from doorsteps.Then I made my big mistake.At the time I was nineteen,had long untidy hair,and regarded myself as part of the sixties''youth counterculture'.As a result,I wanted to appear cool and unconcerned with the incident,so I said,'How long have you been following me?'in the most casual and conversational tone I could manage.I thus appeared to them to be quite familiar with this sort of situation,and it confirmed them in their belief that I was a thoroughly disreputable character.A few minutes later a police car arrived.'Get in the back,'they said.'Put your hands on the back of the front seat and don't move them.' They got in on either side of me.It wasn't funny any more.1.At the time the story took place the author was_________.A.at schoolB.at collegeC.waiting to attend college later that yearD.working in the local library2.He went job-hunting in order that he might earn enough money_________.A.to support himselfB.to go to universityC.to take a journeyD.to hire a good lawyer3.The first man who came up to him was__________.A.a uniformed policemanB.a policeman in plainclothesC.not a policemanD.a good joker4.According to the passage,the story took place in_________.A.LondonB.RichmondC.local libraryD.school5.What does the word intention mean in the third paragraph?A.purposek bottleC.beliefD.situationPassage2Everybody in this world is different from one another.But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?As we grow up,we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs.These are influenced by society,our family,the education we receive and so on.Once this value system is set up,it’s not easy to change later in life. Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances.This is the part of our value system and it has a great effect on the way we look after our money.According to our different values, experts put us in three categories.They are:the ant,the cricket and the snail.The ant—-work firstJust like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter,these people don’t care about enjoying the moment.They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire.The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk.The cricket–—fun firstThe cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn’t think too much about the future.They even borrow money when they really want something.Many young people now belong to this group.These people have little savings. When they get old,they might have problems.They should learn to save and buy insurance.The snail–—living under pressureThe snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves.They take big long-term loans(贷款)from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses.They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure if they can afford it.This can cause problems in the future.They should plan more carefully.6.According to this passage,value system______.A.is a set of our own values or beliefsB.is the way we look after our moneyC.will not change later in lifeD.is belief of how to manage our finances7.The ant refers to people who_______.A.work very hard in summer in order to store food for winterB.could make more money if they worked harderC.only care about enjoying the moment by working very hardD.save money for their later life when they get old and retire8.The crickets borrow money because________.A.they are youngB.they think they have no futureC.they would like to enjoy everything nowD.they want to buy insurance9.According to the last paragraph which of the following is TRUE?A.The snails enjoy life because they have luxury houses.B.The snails will take more loans if they realize that they can afford them.C.The snails take big long-term loans because the interest for the long-term loans is lower.D.The snails live under pressure and they may have problems in the future.10.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A.To make us understand the difference and manage our money better.B.To make fun of the three kinds of foolish people.C.To make us understand we should spend our won moneyD.To state that we are the same as animals.Passage3In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken,not written.In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome,testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud and giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages,students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject.This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor’s degree.Generally,however,modem examinations are written.The written examination,where all students are tested on the same questions,was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modem industry.A room full of candidates for a state examination timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers,resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Generally,during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.One type of test is sometimes called an“objective”test.It is intended to deal with facts,not personal opinions.To make up an objective test,the teacher writes a series of questions,each of which has only one correct answer.Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.11.What’s the most important examination type in the Middle Age?A.writing testB.listening testC.speaking testD.none of them12.The main idea of last paragraph is that________.A.workers now take examinationsrmation related to objective testC.there are only written examsD.examinations are now written and timed13.The exam

finished within limited timeC.teachers and students are expected to act like machinesD.machines to take tests15.It can be inferred from the passage that testing________.A.should test only opinionsB.should always be writtenC.has changed since the Middle AgesD.is given only in factoriesPassage4From the beginning of jazz,the trumpet was the king.The trumpet players were often the leaders, and in any case they played the leading role in the music.It was trumpet players like Bolden,Oliver, Armstrong,and Beiderbecke who got the glory.But by the early years of the1930’s,a relatively new instrument was beginning to push the trumpet aside.This was the saxophone.The saxophone was invented by a Belgian,Adolph Sax,in1840.Sax was trying to create an instrument which combined the carrying power of a brass instrument with the speed and facility of a clarinet.What he got was something quite different,an instrument that indeed could be played withspeed,but which had a rather muted sound.It has never been much used in symphony orchestras, and during the early days of jazz was rarely used.But by1910dance orchestras were beginning to use the saxophone as a novelty instrument.It looked funny,especially when the saxophonist had several different sizes of them lined up in front of him.And by about1920jazz musicians were beginning to take an interest in the instrument.For the most part,they played it very badly.Early jazz saxophone playing is sometimes quite painful to hear.But very quickly some players began to master the instrument.Three who did so were Bud Freeman,tenor saxophonist,who was part of gang around Beiderbecke’s sidekick,Frankie Trumbauer.But it was yet another player who was to really demonstrate the possibilities of the instrument.This was Coleman Hawkins.16.According to the passage,which instrument was the most important in early jazz?A.The trumpet.B.The clarinet.C.The saxophoneD.The piano.17.Which of the following people played the

they have been tempted to cheat.In spite of the fact63school authorities have imposed a severe64on dishonest students,cheating on exams still frequently happens nowadays.Two main factors65to this phenomenon.One major factor is out of fear.Many students are afraid that they may66in the exam if they depend on their own abilities.And a failure in an exam,to some67,is a failure in one’s personal advancement so they try fair and soul to pass the exam.The fact that some students want to seek fortune by luck in their academic study instead of by hard word can be another68.No wonder so many students69to cheating on exams at the risk of being fined or dismissed from school.How to deal with this problem?In my opinion,we have to reform our70educational system to make it a really effective tool to evaluate students.Meanwhile,we shall instill moral education into students’mind to arouse their awareness.61.A.think B.want C.admit D.Dream62.A.in B.of C.at D.On63.A.is B.whose C.when
