AArriving in Sydney on his own India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶) that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign address on most of the documents. At last they had seen a halt-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored out faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often senda warm wish their way.1.What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A.Go shoppingB.Find a houseC.Join his familyD.Take a vacation2.The girl’s family got Rashid’s phone number from________.A.a friend of his familyB. a Sydney policemanC. a letter in his papersD.a stranger in Sydney3.What does the underlined word”restored” in the last paragraph mean?A.ShowedB.Sent outC.DeliveredD.Gave back4.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A.From India to AustraliaB.Living in a New CountryC.Turning Trash to TreasureD.In Search of New FriendsBSince the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment..“We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Ander son, president of Earth Day USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement. Business people, politics leaders, university professions, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the move ment. “The understanding has increased many, many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day.According to US government reports, emissions(排放) from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year 5.5 million tons. The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9. although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind if “thinking” has become part of practices.Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.Twenty-five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, it’s hard to find a public school, university that does not have such a kind of program. “Until we do that, nothing else will change! ” says Bruce Anderson.5.According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about ______.A.the social movementB.recycling techniquesC.environmental problemsD.the importance of Earth Day6.Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A.The grass-rootsB.The business circlesernment officialsD.University professors7.What have Americans achieved in environment protection?A.They have cut car emissions to the lowest.B.They have settled their environment problems.C.They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.D.They have reduced pollution through effective measures.8.What is especially important for environmental protection according to theparagraph?cationB.PlanningC.Green livingD.CO reductionCOne of the latest trends in American childcare is Chinese au paris. Au Pair in STAMFORD, Conn, for example, has got increasing numbers of requests for Chinese au pairs from zero to 4,000 since 2004. And that’s true all across the country.“I thought it would be very useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age,” Joseph Stocke, the managing director of a company, says of his 2-year-old son.”I would at least like to hive him the chance to use the language i n the future.’ After only six months of being cared for by a 25-year-old woman from china, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking an au pair from china: she didn’t want her children to miss out on their roots. “because I am a Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to the language and culture,” she says“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom,” says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of children. “but parents must understand that just learning until the age of 10 or 12.”The popularity of au pairs from china has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.9.What does the term”au pair”in the text mean?A.A mother raising her children on her ownB. A child learning a foreign language at homeC. A professor in language education of childrenD.D.A young foreign woman taking care of children10.Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them____A.To live in china some dayB.To speak the language at homeC.To catch up with other childrenD.To learn about the Chinese culture11.What can we learn from the text?A.Learning Chinese is becoming popular in Americacated women do better in looking after childrenC.Chinese au pairs need to improve their English skillsD.Children can learn a foreign language well in six monthsDMetro Pocket GuideMetrorail(地铁)Each passenger need a farecard to enter and go out.

There are many misunderstandings about American Indian names.Crazy Horses, for example, was given to a man because he was courageous, not because he was mad. Indian families had no last names. The Sioux Indians give individuals three or four names. The first name was given at birth. It showed the order of a birth into the family. Wenonah, for instance, meant “firstborn daughter”. The second name, the honor name, was given to the child by a medicine man (有法术之人). It usually referred to the fine character of good deeds of one of the child’s ancestors (祖先). When he grew up, the person was expected to live up to this name. Otherwise, the person might not be called by it. The third name was the nickname. It usually referred to something odd (临时的) that the person had done. It was hardlyever flattering. The fourth name came the deed name. It was give n by a war chief after the person accomplished some good or extraordinary bravery. The name might be that of a fear –– inspiring animal such as Bear or Buffalo or that of a noble bird, such as Eagle, Hawk or Owl.A. if he could put the meaning of this name into practice,B. if his appearance would be like his ancestor’s,C. only when he grew upD. when he satisfied the medicine man6. Between 1886 and 1914, Canada received over two million immigrants. The majority of them were from Eastern Europe. The government welcomed these people by offering them free farmland in the West. However, Canada immigration policy was not equal for Asian immigrants. The Canadian government passed two laws to prevent Chinese immigration. In 1885, the Canadian government passed the first law to prevent Chinese immigration. The law forced every Chinese person entering Canada to pay a $50 entry fee. The government introducedthis head tax to satisfy Caucasian(高加索人) laborers who felt that Chinese immigrants were competing for their jobs. The head tax was a burden for Chinese immigrants, but it did not prevent them fromcoming to Canada. For many of these poor Chinese laborers, they could earn more money there than in China. They were willing to borrow the money to pay for the overseas trip and the head tax. The Canadian government raised the head tax to $100 in 1900, then to $500 in 1903. The Canadian government passed its most restrictive immigration lawin 1923. That year, the Chinese Immigration Act prevented all Chinese except officers, merchants, and students from entering Canada. TheAct was the result of pressure from anti-Asian groups. These groupsfelt that the head tax was insufficient because Chinese laborers were still coming to Canada. The law effectively stopped Chinese immigration from 1923 to 1947. During the 24-year period, only 44 Chinese entered Canada officially.A. strictB. seriousC. limitationD. determinative7. He was in a traffic jam, ( ) made him late for school.A. thatB. whichC. whatD. how8. Do you think this is a ( ) solution to the problem?A. pepperB. programmedC. preparedD. proper9.

The majority of them were from Eastern Europe. The government welcomed these people by offering them free farmland in the West. However, Canada immigration policy was not equal for Asian immigrants. The Canadian government passed two laws to prevent Chinese immigration. In 1885, the Canadian government passed thefirst law to prevent Chinese immigration. The law forced every Chinese person entering Canada to pay a $50 entry fee. The government introduced this head tax to satisfy Caucasian(高加索人) laborers who felt that Chinese immigrants were competing for their jobs. The head tax was a burden for Chinese immigrants, but it did not prevent them from coming to Canada. For many of these poor Chinese laborers, they could earn more money there than in China. They were willing to borrow the money to pay for the overseas trip and the head tax. The Canadian government raised the head tax to $100 in 1900, then to $500 in 1903. The Canadian government passed its most restrictive immigration law in 1923. That year, the Chinese Immigration Act prevented all Chinese except officers, merchants, and students from entering Canada. The Act was the result of pressure from anti-Asian groups. These groups felt that the head tax was insufficient becauseChinese laborers were still coming to Canada. The law effectively stopped Chinese immigration from 1923 to 1947. During the 24-year period, only 44 Chinese entered Canada officially.A. The Dangers of Chinese immigrants in CanadaB. The Development of Chinese Immigration Laws in CanadaC.

The second name, the honor name, was given to the child by a medicine man (有法术之人). It usually referred to the fine character of good deeds of one of the child’s ancestors (祖先). When he grew up, the person was expected to live up to this name. Otherwise, the person might not be called by it. The third name was the nickname. It usually referred to something odd (临时的) that the person had done. It was hardlyever flattering. The fourth name came the deed name.

In its currentform, country music is a combination of two separate musical traditions: the styles of the Southeastern states and the music of the Southwest, especially Texas. Both styles influenced and were influenced by the blues and by black rural dance music.The first country artists to be widely known achieved popularity in the late 1920s. The music of these performers was heard throughout the south during the 1920s and ''30s on radio programs.By the 1950s, country music had become a significant force in pop music. Regular appearances on the radio show made stars of many performers. The singer-songwriter Hank Williams wrote four million-seller songs in 1950, seven in 1951, and four more in 1953.By the 1970s, some country musicians began combining country music with electric instruments, creating a country rock sound.(1). What does “Both styles” in Paragraph 1 refer to? ( )A. Country music style and the musical style of the Southeastern states.B.The musical styles of the Southwestern states and the Southeastern states.C.The Southwestern musical style and Texas musical style.D.The styles of blues and the black rural dance music(2).

Advertising can be thought of “as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services”. Advertising aims to increase people’s awareness and arouse interest. It tries to inform and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message, and the press offers a fairly cheap method. Magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local markets. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Posters are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction. Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertising.We might ask whether the cost of advertising is paid for by the manufacturer or by the consumer. Since advertising forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for advertising. However, if large scale advertising leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less.It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertising on sales. When the market is growing, advertising helps to increase demand. When the market is shrinking, advertising may prevent a bigger fall in scales than would occur without its support. What is clear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertising if they were not convinced of its value to them.(1). Advertising is often used to ( )A. convince customersB.promote productionC.rise interestD.push the sales(2). According to the passage, trade fairs (Paragraph 1) may ( ) .A. replace exhibitions and markets supplyB.local goods and servicesC.attract possible customersD.provide cheap amusements(3). Advertising is in the main paid for by ( ) .A. the customerB.the producerC.the increased salesD.the decreased costs(4). The author says that advertising can increase demand ( )A. in any period of salesB.in any circumstancesC.in a growing marketD.in a shrinking market(5). What the last sentence of this passage actually tells us is that ( ).A. businessmen usually do not pay more for advertising than they have toB.businessmen know well that advertising could bring them more profits C.advertising couldn’t convince people of the value of the goods advertising usually costsD.businessmen large amounts of money3. Almost every family buys at least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe to as many as two or three different newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings — battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown or killed — took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in faraway countries on the same day they happen.Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and, of course, advertisements. There are all sorts of advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for their advertising space, but it is worth the money, for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapersat a low price and still make a profit.(1). The habit of reading newspapers is ( )A. widespreadB.found among a few familiesC.not popularD.uncommon(2). In the past, news was ( )A. sent by telegraphB.sent by letterC.assed from one person to anotherD.sent by telephone(3).

AA new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops〔笔记本电脑〕.Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility〔清晰度〕. But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly〞 by taking down word for word what the professors said.In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk, they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However, the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.The researchers’ report said, “While more notes arc beneficial, if the notes are taken mindlessly, as is more likely the case on a laptop, the benefit disappears.〞In another experiment aimed at testing long-term memory, students took notes as beforebut were tested a week after the lecture. This time, the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes arc not only better for immediate learning and understanding, but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.21. More and more students favor laptops for note-taking because they can .A. write more notesB. digest concepts betterC. get higher scoresD. understand lectures better22. While taking notes, laptop users tend to be .A. skillfulB. mindlessC. thoughtfulD. tireless23. The author of the passage aims to .A. examine the importance of long-term memoryB. stress the benefit of taking notes by handC. explain the process of taking notesD. promote the use of laptops24. The passage is likely to appear in .A. a newspaper advertisementB. a computer textbookC. a science magazineD. a finance report【考点】考察科普知识类阅读【文章大意】作者在本文中讲述了一次实验:使用笔记本电脑记笔记和手动记笔记的学生进展比照。

Treasure hunts(寻宝)have excited people''''s imagination for hundreds of years both in real life and in books such as Robert Louis Stevenson''''s Treasure Island.Kit Williams,a modern writer,had the idea of combining the real excitement of a treasure hunt with clues(线索)found in a book when he wrote a children''''s story,Masquerade,in 1979.The book was about a hare,and a month before it came out Williams buried a gold hare in a park in Bedfordshire.The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the hare,but Williams put in a lot of “red herrings”,or false clues,to mislead them.Ken Roberts,the man who found the hare,had been looking for it for nearly two years.Although he had been searching in the wrong area most of the time,he found it by logic(逻辑),not by luck.His success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start.He had realized that the words:“One of Six to Eight” under the first picture in the book connected the hare in some way to Katherine of Aragon,the first of Henry VIII''''s six wives.Even here,however,Williams had succeeded in misleading him.Ken knewthat Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambridge shire in 1536 and thought that Williams had buried the hare there.He had been digging there for over a year before a new idea occurred to him.He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill,in Bedfordshire,and thought that he must have buried the hare in a place he knew well,but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon,until one day he came across two stone crossesin Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in 1773.Even then his search had not come to an end.It was only after he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he decided towrite to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there.Williams encouraged him to continue,and on February 24th 1982,he found the treasure.It was worth £3000 in the beginning,but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable.What is the most important clue in the story to help Ken Robertsfind the hare?A. Two stone crosses in Ampthill.B. Stevenson''''s Treasure Island.C. Katherine of Aragon.D. Williams'''' hometown.32. As a devoted wife and mother, she insists doing the homework all by herself and the () tasks are never burden to her.A. house keptB. housekeepingC. home keptD. home keeping33. The human body is composed of organs, each ()a definite jot to do.A. haveB. hasC. to haveD. having34. Have you seen him before? Yes, I ( ) him once in 1989.A. seeB. seesC. sawD. have seen35. It’s high time they () the road.A. mendB. must have mendedC. mendedD. will mend二、阅读理解单项选择题(本大题共30分,共 6 小题,每小题 5 分)1.It would be difficult to have a society like ours without public goods such as defense, transportation, and other services.A public good is one that a person can use without reducing the use of it for another person. One of the best examples of a public goodis national defense. One person can benefit from our national defense without reducing another person''s benefits. In fact, it is difficult to keep any person in our society from enjoying the benefits of national defense.The market system does not work well in producing public goods. This is because a person who refuses to pay for a public good cannot be kept from using it. Suppose that the neighbors in a high crime area decide to hire a police force. Each neighbor, except Mrs. Smith, agrees to pay S 100 a year for it. Mrs. Smith refuses to pay because she knows that if all the others pay the $ 100, the police will guard the area anyway. So Mrs. Smith can enjoy the services of the police force without paying $100.The market system has no way to deal with this type of problem. For this reason, we cannot ask each person to make a direct payment in the form of product price. Therefore, we collect money for public goods by using taxes.(1). According to the passage, public goods are ( )A.services enjoyed by all peopleB.what we can buy and sell in publicC.products that we make for national defenseD. taxes paid by the people involved(2). The writer gives the example of national defense in paragraph 2 in order to show that ( )A.there will be no safety if there is no national defenseB.all the people should be responsible for national defenseC.a public good is a shared benefit for the whole societyD. some public goods are more important than others(3). The person who does not pay for a public good ( )A.keeps himself from using its benefitB.cannot enjoy its benefit at any timeC.fails to keep its benefit from being usedD. enjoys its benefit all the same(4). In the third paragraph the author explains ( )A.what role the market system plays in producing public goodshow weak the marketB. system is in producing public goodsC.why some people refuse to pay for public goodsD. what we can do to make use of the market system(5). From the passage we learn that the purpose of collecting taxes is to ( )A.ensure the continuous supply of public goodsB.reduce the difference between the rich and the poorC.get extra money to support public goodsD. remind people of their duty2.In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone veryearly in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes(想当然地认为)it''s a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the attention to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for adate more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandingsarise(产生) between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think if keeping a business associate waiting for an hour. It would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.(1). "The same meaning is attached to telephone calls after 11:00p.m." Here "attached" means ( )A. TakenB.DrawnC.GivenD. shown(2). According to this passage, time plays an important role in ( )A.everyday lifeB.school lifeC.communicationD. private life(3). The best title for this passage is ( )A.The Voice of TimeB.The Importance of TimeC.The Importance of an AnnouncementD. Time and Tide Wait for No Man3.Every year just after Christmas the January Sales start. All the shops reduce their prices and for two weeks, they are full of people looking for bargains. My husband and I do not normally go to the sales as we don’t like crowds and in any case are short of money as we have to buy lots of Christmas presents.Last year, however, I took my husband with me to the sales at the large shop in the center of London. We both needed some new clothes and were hoping to find a television set. When we got to station. So I left my husband and started looking around the shops. Unfortunately all the clothes were in very large sizes and so were not suitable for me. But I did buy a television at a very cheap price, so I felt quite pleased with myself.When I arrived at the station, my husband was not there. So I sat down in a nearby cafe to have a cup of tea. I quickly finished my tea when I saw my husband and went out to meet him. He looked very happy. Then I saw he was carrying a large and heavy cardboard box. “Oh, dear!” I thought. Yes, we had no new clothes but two televisions. We shall not be going to the sales again.(1). In January ( )A.lots of people go shopping for discountB.people have a lot of money to spend after ChristmasC.all the shops close for a two-week Christmas holidayD. people don’t have enough money to go looking for bargains(2). In this passage, the word “bargain” could best be replaced by “something ( )”A.given to peopleB.offered at a reduced priceC.offered, sold or bought which is expensiveD. sold for the purpose of reaching an agreement(3).

That’s where the language was first spoken. But England is often called by other names. This often confusespeople and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now Iwould like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use the names—England, Britain or Great Britain. Let’s see what each of these nam es means.If you look at a map of Europe, you’ll see a group of islands—one larger island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles (不列颠群岛). The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland (爱尔兰).Britain is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the Word “England” is used instead of “Britain”. Why so?In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in These different countries spoke different language. Over many years the three countries became one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. Sothe English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.There’s another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “the Untied Kingdom of GreatBritain and Northern Ireland”. That is official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England”, “Britain”, “Great Britain”, and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”. Now do you know what each of them means?(1). English was first spoken in ( )A.BritainB.EnglandC.Great BritainD. Ireland(2). Britain is divided into( )A.England, Britain, and WalesB.England, Scotland, and WalesC.Wales, Scotland, and Great BritainD. Great Britain, Wales, and Scotland(3). According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A.Wales is the richest of the threeB.Scotland is the largest of the threeC.Sometimes English is used instead of BritainD. Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles(4). The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is ( )A.part of BritainB.part of British IslesC.the official name of the whole country EnglandD. the largest country of all mentioned in the passage(5). Which of the following is an independent country?A. WalesB. ScotlandC. Northern IrelandD. The Republic of Ireland5.They think they''re lucky that they''re living and it''s Christmas again. They can''t see that we live on a dirty street in a shabby house among people who aren''t much good. Johnny and the children can''t see how pitiful it is that our neighbors have to make happiness out of this filth and dirt. My children must get out of this. But how? The money that we''ve saved isn''t nearly enough. The McGaritys have money, but they are show-offs with it. The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of cookies while a ring of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts, and when she couldn''t eat any more, she shrew the rest down the sewer(阴沟). Miss Jackson who teaches at the Settlement House isn''t rich, but she knows things. She understands people. Her eyes look straight into yours when she talks with you. Everybody else here looks away because they''re ashamed(羞愧)of their lives. I''d like to see the children be like Miss Jackson when they grew up.(1). The writer suggests that her family ( )A.is extremely richB.is an unhappy oneC.are accustomed to their lifeD. long for a change in their life(2). The McGarity girl is characterized as ( )A.selfish and cruelB.friendly and kindC.beautiful and proudD. rich and nice(3). The writer thinks Miss Jackson is ( )A.poor but braveB.friendly and talkativeC.a teacher liked by all her pupilsD. an example her children should follow(4). Which of the following is TRUE?A.The writer's family is the poorest one on that street.B.Watching the rich girl eating cookies, those hungry children cried.C.The writer wants to move out of that district.D. The writer hopes that her children will become teachers.6. Many new students find it hard to do all the study that has to be done; they find themselves putting off reading assignment(作业), jumping from one subject to another and not being quite certain what they are trying to do during a particular study session. The best way to overcome these difficulties and to start studying efficiently(高效的) is to plan your time and organize your work. Let us suppose that you have 15 hours per week of classes and that you decide to allow yourself a 40-hour-working week (a reasonable figure, leaving you 70 waking hours for other activities.) You now have to decide how to divide the remaining 25 hours of private study. Naturally, the decision you make will change from week to week according to what essays have to be written and what reading has to be done. Many people find it helpful to draw up each week a seven- day- timetable showing the occasions on which they will be studying. By change such a plan at times during the week, you can see what you have done and what you have still to do: the whole plan becomes more manageable. There are a number of places where you can study --- college library, public library, home, empty classrooms, on bus or train --- and each has several obvious advantages and disadvantages. The college library is least busy in the evening, on Wednesday afternoon, and all day Friday and Saturday. (249w)(1). Many new students find it hard( )A.to make a good planB.to study efficientlyC.to delay their readingD. to jump from subject to subject(2). A student’s organization of his work will need to change according to ( )A.how many hours he is awakeB.how many subjects are requiredC.how many lectures he missD. what he has to write and read that week(3). A student is advised to make a weekly plan to check it from time to time in order to ( ).A. see whether he has calculated it properlyB.see what day of the week isC.see what work still needs doingD. see how he feels at the whole week(4). What’s the main idea of this passage?A. Heavy burden of studyB. Poor efficiency of studyC. Good place to studyD. Good plan to manage study答案:一、单项选择题(70分,共 35 题,每小题 2 分)1. D2. B3. D4. D5. A6. A7. C8.

It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion because you lost a great deal of blood in theaccident. However, special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you. If the blood is too different from your own, the transfusion could kill you.There are four basic types of blood: A, B, AB, and O. A simple test can indicate a person''s blood type, which, like hair color and height, is inherited from parents.Because of substances contained in each type, the four groups must be transfused carefully. Basically, A and B cannot be mixed. A and B cannot receive AB, but AB may receive A or B. O can give to any other group; hence, it is often called the universal donor. For the opposite reason, AB is sometimes called the universal recipient. However, because so many reactions can occur in transfusions, patients usually receive only salt or plasma (liquid) until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital. In this way, it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality. Among Europeans and people of European ancestry, about 42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O. The rarest is type AB. Other races have different percentages. For example, some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.(1). A good title for this passage is ________.A. Getting Blood and PlasmaB. Special Blood TypesC. Human Blood TypesD. The Blood Bank of a Hospital(2). The word "hence" in line 10 means _________A. alwaysB. oftenC. thereforeD. seldom(3). In a blood transfusion, it is easiest to find the acceptable type of blood for a person with the blood type of ________A. AB. BC. ABD. O(4). The purpose of using salt and plasma before a blood transfusion is to allow time ______.A. to test the reactions to the transfusionB. for matching the blood to be transfused with the patient''s bloodC. for the blood to be delivered from the blood bankD. to select a new type of blood for the patient(5). Most Europeans have blood type _________A. AB. BC. OD. A or O2. In 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 or 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, modern 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 modern 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. Certainly, 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. T o 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.(1). In theMiddle Ages students _______.A. took objective testsB. were timed by clocksC. specialized in one subjectD. never wrote exams(2). The main idea of paragraph 2 is ______A. workers now take examinationsB. the population has grownC. there are only written exams todayD. examinations are now written and timed(3). The kind of exam where students must select answers is ______.A. personalB. objective?C. spoken?D. written(4). Modern industry must have developed ______.A. before the Middle AgesB. in Greece or RomeC. around the 19lh centuryD. machines to take tests(5). It may be concluded that testing ______.A. should test only opinionsB. should always be writtenC. has changed since the Middle AgesD. is given only in factories3. Learning how to write is like taking a course in public speaking. I’ d ask whether anyone in class had ever taken such a course. Invariably a few hands would go up.“What did you learn in that course?” I’d ask.“Well, the main thing was learning how to face an audience ... not to be inhibited( 拘谨 )... not to be nervousExactly, when you take a course in public speaking nowadays, you don’ t hear much about grammar and vocabulary. Instead, you’ re taught how not to be afraid or embarrassed, how to speak without aprepared script, how to read out to the live audience before you. Public speaking is a matter of overcoming your long-standing nervous inhibitions.The same is true of writing. The point of the whole thing is to overcome your nervous inhibitions, to break through the invisible barrier that separates you from the person who’ ll read what you wrote. You must learn to sit in front of your typewriter or dictating machine and read out to the person at the other end of the line.Of course, in public speaking, with the audience right in front of you, the problem is easier. You can look at them and talk to them directly. In writing, you’ re alone. It needs an effort of your experience or imagination to take hold of that other person and talk to him or her. But that effort is necessary -- or at least it’ s necessary until you’ve reached the point when you quite naturally and unconsciously “talk on paper(1). The topic of the passage is ________A. how to be a good writerB. how to be a good speakerC. how to express yourself with your wordsD. how to get rid of nervousness in public speaking(2). The public speech course mainly teaches students ______A. how to make an attractive speech using perfect grammar and vocabularyB. how to express themselves exactly and vividlyC. how to collect data needed and organize itD. how to get over their nervousness when making a speech(3). The similarity between making a public speech and writing is that _______A. you have to do a lot of preparation work beforehandB. you should get over your nervous inhibitionsC. you should know grammar and vocabulary well to accomplish themD. both of them have audience(4). In the opinion of the author, public speaking is much easier than writingbecause _______A. public speaking requires less effort than writingB. it’ s unnecessary for you to write a lot for speech and you can say anything as you likeC. you face the audience directly in public speaking; while writing is otherwiseD. in public speaking, the audience have to listen to you whether they like it or not(5). The author of this passage probably is a ________A. bossB. politicianC. writerD. professor4."The pen is more powerful than the sword (剑)." There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.She was born in the USA in 1811. One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freezing the slaves. The civil war was the American Civil War of 1861, in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.This book was named "Uncle Tom''''s Cabin". There was time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery. Not many people read it today, but it is still very interesting. The book has shown us how a warm-hearted writer can arouse (唤起) people''''s sympathies (同情). The writer herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave. The Southern Americans were very angry at the novel, which they said did not at all represent (代表) true state of affairs, but the Northern Americans were wildly excited over it and were so inspired (激励) by it that they-were ready to go to war to set the slaves free.(1). According to the passage ( ).A. every English-speaking person had read "Uncle Tom''s Cabin"B. "Uncle Tom''s Cabin" was not very interestingC. those who don''t speak English can not have read "Uncle Tom''s Cabin"D. the book "Uncle Tom''s Cabin" did a great deal in the American Civil War(2).

It was a tiresome walk from one end of the city to another and to sit among adults was uninteresting. I was the youngest in the class, so the friendship I knew at school was absent. I put up with (忍受) it for a short period. It was too long a walk on cold winter''s nights and it was hard to put my heart into Shakespeare with wet shoes and trousers. So I continued reading books and started writing poetryat home.By chance, I won some prizes and awards (奖) for literature. A young woman from a TV company came to the college one day. She told me that I had won a national poetry award. I stared at her in astonishment and disbelief. She wanted to make a short film about me, to which I said, "No, I couldn'' t do that." Not that I had any real excuse, I was just frightened. In the end she persuaded me that 1 should do it the following day.So I did. They made a short film of me reading one of my poems and I became more interested in literature than ever. I wondered what I should do after this, and decided some weeks later that 1 could not imagine myself spending the rest of my days dealing with machines. So one evening, I hesitatingly told my parents that I wanted to return to school. They were greatly surprised and, I think, a little afraid but they did not try to persuade me not to, they wanted to know if I was sure, if I knew what it meant and whether I realized that if I gave up my job training, it would be very difficult to get a good job.

Then life is no longer difficult. Most people do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent ( 代表 ) a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.What makes life difficult is the process of facing and solving problems and it is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness or, loneliness or regret or anger of fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is throughthe pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct."
