Part II. Cloze
There is now a new keychain device that lets people turn off most TVs anywhere---- from airports to restaurants. And it is selling faster than 21 . “I thought there would just be a few sales, but we can’t 22 demand,” said inventor Mitch Altman of San Francisco, U.S. “I didn’t know there were so many people who wanted to turn TVs off.”
Hundreds of orders for Altman’s US $14.99 TV-B-Gone device poured in last week. The tiny remote control device had been 23 in Wired magazine and other online-media outlets. 24 , the unexpected attention overloaded the website of his company. Cornfield Electronics, and caused it to 25 .
The keychain device works like a 26 remote control ----but it only turns TVs on or off. With a push of the button, it goes through a 27 of about 200 infrared codes that control the power of about 1,000 television models. Altman said the majority of TVs should 28 within 17 seconds. It takes a little more than a minute for the device to 29 all the trigger codes.
The 47-year-old Altman got the idea for TV-B-Gone a decade ago. He was out with friends at a restaurant and they found themselves all 30 by the TV, but no one was around to turn it off.

Part III. Reading Comprehensive
Passage One
Animals are more like us than we ever imagined. They feel pain, they experience stress, and they show affection, excitement and love. All these finding have been made by scientists in recent years----and such results are beginning to change how we view animals.
Strangely enough, this research was sponsored by fast food companies like McDonald’s and KFC. Pressured by animal rights groups, these companies felt they had to fund scientists researching the emotional and mental states of animals.
McDonald’s, for instance, funded studies on pig behaviors at Purdue University, Indiana. This research found that pigs seek affection and easily become depressed if left alone or prevented from playing with each other. If they become depressed, they soon become physically ill. Because of this, and other similar studies, the European Union has banned the use of isolating pig stalls from 2012. In Germany, the government is encouraging pig farmers to give each pig 20 seconds of human
contact a day, and to provide them with toys to prevent them from fighting.
Other scientists have shown that animals think and behave like humans.
Koko, the 300-pound gorilla (大猩猩)at the Gorilla Foundation in Northern California, for instance, has been taught sign language. Koko can now understand several thousand English words, more than many humans who speak English as a second language. On human IQ tests, she scores between 70 and 95.
Before such experiments, humans thought language skills were absent from the animal kingdom. Other myths are also being overturned, like the belief that animals lack self-awareness. Studies have also shown that animals mourn their dead, and that they play for pleasure.
These striking similarities between animal and human behavior have led some to ask a question: “If you believe in evolution, how can’t you believe that animals have feelings that human beings have?”
Until recently, scientists believed that animals behaved by instinct and that what appeared to be learned behavior was merely genetically-programmed activity. But as Koko the Gorilla shows, this is not the case. In fact, learning is passed from parents to offspring far more often than not in the animal kingdom.
So what implications does this knowledge have for humans? Because of this , should we ban hunting and animal testing? Should we close zoos? Such questions are being raised by many academics and politicians. Harvard and 25 other American law schools have introduced courses on animal rights.
31. The author feels it strange that the research was sponsored by fast food companies like McDonald’s and KFC probably because these companies_____.
A are the largest fast food chains in the world.
B have little to do with animals.
C consume a large amount of meat each day.
D are notorious for their ill-treatment to animals.
32.The experiment with Koko shows _____.
A gorillas’ IQ scores are as high as human beings’
B animals are much cleverer than we used to believe.
C parent animals can pass learning to their offspring intentionally.
D some gorillas are smarter than many humans.
33.Which of the following is NOT true according to the studies?
A Some animals have developed language skills.
B Some animals can show their feelings.
C Animals enjoy playing with each other.
D Animals become indifferent when one of them dies.
34. By citing the question “If you believe in evolution, how can’t you believe that animals have feelings that human beings have?” the author means____.
A human feelings can trace their origin back to animals.
B animal’s feelings are as developed as human beings’.
C from the point of view of evolution animals should have no feelings.
D we can’t believe that animals have feelings that human beings have.
35. The studies urge us to ____.
A stop killing animals for food.
B ban hunting and animal testing
C close zoos and animal farms
D change our ways to treat animals.
36. The purpose of this passage is to tell us that ____.
A animals are much smarter than we ever imagined.
B animals rights should be taught in schools.
C we should show greater respect to animals.
D animals rights should be protected worldwide.
Passage Two
Ties have no practical use at all and most men see them as part of a uniform instead of an independent piece of clothing. But, these small strips of cloth should not be underestimated, fashion experts say.
The shirt, suit or jacket are neutral means of expression. But, the tie gives you the final personal touch, experts suggest.
In fact, its color also has psychological importance. “Red, for instance, evokes feelings of warmth and intimacy”, according to Axel Venn. He’s a professor of design at the University of Applied Sciences and Art in Germany. “It also stands for energy, dynamism and strength.”
Using shades of color requires understanding and sensitivity. Orange is regarded as a lively color. Blue stands for matter-of-fact, solitude and coolness. Shiny yellow stirs amusement. Green is the color of nature and harmony.
It’s only when the color fits the personal character that it is viewed as authentic.
“A lively orange with a black suit and white shirt can look great at a private party or in an artistic environment,” Venn says. “In a conservative environment such as in a bank such dress is unsuitable.”
Imme V ogelsang, a trainer of etiquette in Hamburg, Germany, recommends in business environment how contrasting colors such as wine red, dark green or dark blue.
But feminine colors have also be come popular. “Light green and a fine rose color play an increasing role. Such colors express innovation and sensitivity,” Venn says.
Also, patterns that stand out can be an interesting eye catcher in a private environment but are unsuitable in business.
“Stripes and small geometric patterns are more appropriate in business,” V ogelsang says, “but stripes should never run vertically or horizontally.”
With diagonal stripes it is important to look at the direction. They should run from the bottom left t o the right top. “This symbolizes dynamism. In the opposite direction it shows fear and escapist thoughts.”
37. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A Ties---Impractical Pieces of Clothing.
B Psychological Importance of Ties
C What The Colors of Ties Mean
D The Colors of Ties and the Occasions to Wear Them.
38.According to the passage, ties are more important ____.
A than shirts, suits or jackets.
B in colors than in patterns.
C in expressing one’s mood than shirts.
D in business than on private occasions.
39. What color of ties should one wear, if he wants to appear energetic?
A Green
B Orange
C Shiny yellow
D Red
40. The best color for the tie of a judge in a court should be ____
A light green
B lively orange
C fine rose
D dark blue
41.What kind of ties is more suitable on an important business occasion?
A Ties without stripes and geometric patterns.
B Ties with stripes of vertical or horizontal patterns.
C Ties of no bright colors and obvious patterns
D Plain ties without any stripes and patterns
42.It is implied in the passage that ___.
A ties with stripes from the bottom left to the right top are not popular.
B ties with stripes from the bottom right to the left top are not popular.
C ties with stripes of vertical or horizontal patterns are popular
D ties of feminine colors are out of fashion nowadays.
Passage Three
Musicians are fascinated with the possibility that music may be found in nature; it makes our own desire for art seem all the more essential. Over the past few years no less a bold musical explorer than Peter Gabriel has been getting involved. At the Research Center in Atlanta, Georgia, he has been making music together with Kanzi, one of the bonobo apes （倭黑猩猩）involved in the long-term language acquisition studies of Sue and Duane Savage-Rumbaugh.
I have seen the video of Kanzi picking notes out on a piano-like keyboard, with Gabriel and members of his band playing inside the observation booth in the lab. (They did it this way because Kanzi had bitten one of his trainers a few days previously----interspecies communication without its dangers.) The scene is beautiful, the ape trying out the new machine and looking thoughtfully pleased with what comes out. He appears to be listening, playing the right notes. It is tentative but moving, the animal groping for something from the human world but remaining isolated from the rest of the band. It is a touching encounter, and a bold move for a musician whose tune Shock the Monkey many years ago openly condemne d the horrors of less sensitive animals experiments than this.
What is the scientific value of such a jam session? The business of the Research Center is the forging of greater communication between human and animal. Why not try the fertile and mysterious ground of music in addition to the more testable arena of simple language? The advantage of hearing music in nature and trying to reach out to nature through music is that, though we don’t fully understand it, we can easily have access to it. We don’t need to explain its working to be touched by it. Two musicians who don’t speak the same language can play together, and we can appreciate the music from human cultures far from our own.
Music needs no explanation, but it clearly expresses something deep and important, something humans can’t live without. Finding music in the sounds of birds, whales and other animals makes the farther frontiers of nature seem that much closer to us.
43. It can be learned from the passage that Peter Gabriel _____.
A is a bold expert on animal behaviour.
B wants to find more about natural music.
C is working on animal’s language ability
D specializing in human-animal cooperation
44. Kanzi was arranged to stay in a separate place ____.
A to prevent him from attacking the human players
B so that he would not be disturbed by others.
C because he needed a large room to move around.
D after he had destroyed the others’ musical instruments.
45.Kanzi the ape____.
A was annoyed by the music-playing activity .
B demonstrated no unusual talent for music.
C became more obedient when playing music.
D seemed content with what he was producing.
46. Which of the following words can best describe the advantage of music?
A Controllable
B Explanation
C Accessible
D Testable
47. The writer seems to suggest that _______
A music should replace language as the major arena of animal research .
B animal experiments are more often than not cruel and inhuman.
C great progress has been made in the field of interspecies communication.
D the experiment with music may help scientific research on animals.
48. The best title for the passage is ________.
A Music---The Essence of Nature
B Music--- A Better Way to Enjoy Nature .
C Music--- A New Frontier for Scientists
D Music--- Beyond National and Cultural Boundary
Passage Four
In a recent Sunday school in a church in the Northeast, a group of eight-to-ten-year-olds were in deep discussion with their two teachers. When asked to choose which of ten stated possibilities they most feared happening their response was unanimous. All the children most dreaded a divorce between their parents.
Later, as the teachers, a man and a woman in their late thirties, reflected on the lesson, they both agreed they’d been shocked at the response. When they were the same age as their students, they said, the possibility of their parents’ being divorced never entered their heads. Yet in just one generation, children seemed to feel much less security in their family ties.
Nor is the experience of these two Sunday school teachers an isolated one. Psychiatrists revealed in one recent newspaper investigation that the fears of children definitely do change in different period; and in recent times, divorce has become one of the most frequently mentioned anxieties. In one case, for example, a four-year-old insisted that his father rather than his mother walk him to nursery school each day. The reason? He said many of his friends had “no d addy living at home, and I’m scared that will happen to me.”
In line with such reports, our opinion leaders expressed great concern about the present and future status of the American family. In the poll 33 percent of the responses listed decline in family structure, divorce and other family-oriented concerns as one of the five major problems facing the nation today. And 26 percent of the responses included such family difficulties as one of the five major problems for the United States in the next decade.
One common concern expressed about the rise in divorces and decline in stability of the family is that the family unit has traditionally been a key factor in transmitting stable cultural and moral values from generation to generation. Various studies have shown that educational and religious institutions often can have only a limited impact on children without strong family support.
49.It is mentioned that in a Sunday school class the children ____
A deeply impressed their teachers.
B had an argument with their teachers.
C feared answering their teachers’ question.
D gave the same response to their teachers’ question.
50. The two teachers in the Sunday school felt ___.
A responsible for tightening school security.
B no fear of the divorce of their students’ parents.
C no threat of broken family ties when they were ten-year-olds.
D shocked at the divorce rates of their students’ parents.
51. The author uses a four-year-old as an example to ____.
A show the anxiety of today’s children.
B emphasize the importance of family ties.
C indicate the seriousness of psychological problems.
D reveal the change of children’s attitude toward divorce.
52. It is stated that one third of the American population_______.
A consider family-oriented concerns to be a big problem.
B are worried about the future of the United States.
C believe the social situation is getting worse.
D are facing family difficulties.
53. Family has been regarded as a major carrier of __________.
A religious beliefs
B various customs
C social traditions
D cultural and moral values.
54. It is implied in the passage that ____.
A Sunday school teachers are different from public school teachers.
B family has stronger impact on children than other social institutions.
C in a decade family-oriented concerns will be the same as they are now.
D parents’ divorce has long been children’s biggest fear.
Passage Five
Faith in medicine runs deep in America. We spend more per person on health care than any other nation. Whether we eat too much or exercise too little, whether we’re turning gray or feeling blue, we look to some pill or procedure to make us better.
We assume that devoting ever more dollars to medicine will bring us longer, healthier lives. But there is mounting evidence that each new dollar we devote to the current health care system brings small and diminishing returns to public health. Today the United States spends more than $4,500 per person per year on health care. Costa Rica spends less than $ 300. Yet life expectancy at birth is nearly identical in both countries.
Despite the highly publicized “longevity revolution”, life expectancy among the elderly in the United States is hardly improving. Yes, we are an aging society, but primarily because of falling birthrates. Younger Americans, meanwhile, are far more likely to be disabled than they were 20 years ago. Most affected are people in their thirties, whose disability rates increased by nearly 130 percent, due primarily to overweight.
Why has our huge investment in health care left us so unhealthy? Partly it is because so many promised “miracle cures,” from interferon to gene therapies, have proven to be ineffective or even dangerous. Partly it’s because health care dollars are so concen trated on the terminally ill and the very old that even when medical interventions “work”, the gains to average life expectancy are small. And partly it is because medical errors and adverse reaction to prescription drugs, which cause more deaths than motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer or AIDS. Each year roughly 200,000 seniors suffer fatal or life-threatening “adverse drug events” due to improper drug or drug interaction.
Why don’t Americans live any longer than Costa Ricans? Overwhelmingly, it’s be cause of differences in behaviour. Americans exercise less, eat more , drive more ,smoke more, and lead more socially isolated lives. Even at its best, modern medicine can do little to promote productive aging, because by the time most people come in contact with it their bodies are already compromised by stress, indulgent habits, environmental dangers and injuries.
55. Americans in general believe that ____.
A more money spent on health care may not result in better health.
B health problems caused by bad habits can hardly be solved by medicine.
C higher birthrate can better solve the problem of aging society than medicine.
D medicine may provide an effective cure for various health problems.
56. Compared with the Americans, Costa Ricans ___.
A have a healthier way of life.
B enjoy a longer life expectancy
C are more dependent on medicine.
D are less concerned about their health.
57. The biggest problem affecting the health of younger Americans may be summarized as the problem of ___.
A overwork
B lifestyle
C stress
D depression
58. Which of the following is NOT a reason why health care investment fails to bring a longer life?
A Imbalanced distribution of health care money.
B Failure of many highly-evaluated medical treatment.
C Soaring prices of both drugs and new therapies.
D Drug reaction due to improper use of drugs.
59. It is implied in the last paragraph that _______
A medicine should be taken timely before it is too late.
B poor health conditions leave little room for medicine to work.
C great efforts should be made to develop new types of medicine.
D it is reasonable to question the effectiveness of medicine.
60. The passage is mainly focused on ___.
A the limits of medicine
B the life hazards in the U.S.
C the barriers to a longer life.
D the problems with health investment.
Paper Two
Part IV Translation
Section A
This book derives from decades of teaching in various schools across the country. It is based on the belief that philosophy is a genuinely exciting subject, accessible not only to specialists and a few gifted undergraduate majors but to everyone. Everyone is a philosopher, whether enrolled in a philosophical course or not. The difference is that someone who has studied philosophy systematically has the advantage of having encountered stronger and more varied arguments than might have been available otherwise . What is special about this book is that it offers introductory students the opportunity of having direct contact with substantial readings from significant books on philosophy, but without the unreasonable demand that they confront these books in full, which are often incomprehensible.
Section B
人人都有追求幸福的权利, 但对幸福的定义却因人而异.绝大多数人认为幸福来自于健康的身体、愿望的实现和事业有成. 正如经常发生的那样, 许多人在遇到痛苦时才意识到幸福的真正含义.

近年汉译英试题 2004年1月 考研的人在英语上花的时间远远多于其它学科，希望英语分数越高越好。许多人坚信成功地秘诀是参加短训班和多背范文，结果却发现此招不灵。他们为提高英语水平做出的努力很难得到回报。 参考译文： Those who take the entrance examination for graduate schools spend much (/far) more time on English than on other subjects, hoping for the highest possible scores of English. Many people are convinced that the secret to success is to attend training courses (/classes) and learn many sample writings by heart, only to find that doesn’t work. Their efforts to improving their English can’t pay off easily. 2004年6月 计算机被认为是有史以来对人类生活影响最大的发明。它的神奇之处在于其运算速度和准确性优于人类。计算机能在几秒钟内完成几十年前可能需要数天才能完成的事。这是人类第一次感到自己作为最高级物种的地位受到了挑战。 参考译文： The computer is believed (/regarded /considered) to be the invention that has exerted the greatest influence on human lives in history. What is remarkable about it is that it can calculate with better speed and accuracy than man. The computer can finish in seconds what might have taken days decades ago.

学位英语考试练习题（四） Part I Reading Comprehension A teddy bear is delivered to No. 10 Downing Street after the birth of Prime Minister Tony Blair and wife Cherie’s fourth child. Britain’s baby alert is over-Cherie Blair gave birth to a boy. Mrs. Blair, 45, wife of Prime Minister Tony Blair, had the baby this morning. The baby will be named Leo after the prime minister’s father, his office announced, the baby weighed in at 6 pounds, 12 ounces. Mother, father and the baby boy returned to 10 Downing Street-the prime minister’s official residence-after the birth, a spokesman said. The baby is the couples’ fourth child. “Cherie and the baby are absolutely fine,” Blair said today outside his Downing Street residence. “He is a gorgeous little boy. They are resting right now.” Blair, dressed casually in an open shirt, appeared emotional about the birth, the first of his four children whose birth he has been at from beginning to end. “this is the first time I’ve seen the whole thing though,” he said. “it was quite a struggl e, really, for Cherie.” The switchboard was reportedly lit up with calls from world leaders wishing them well, including a call from Hillary Colliery Clinton. Former prime minister John Major was the first public figure to get through on the phone at 7 a.m. on Saturday. The baby came after a 12-year gap from the Blairs other three children-Euan, 16, Nicky, 14, and Kathryn. He is the first to be born to a serving Buitish prime minister in over 150 years. News of the pregnancy took Cherie and the rest of the nation by surprise when it was announced last year. After decades of much older occupants at No.10 Downing Street, the Blairs’ arrival at the prime minister’s residence with their children and assorted toys in tow was hailed as a breath of fresh air.

Why should I want more money ?” “So you could buy a bigger boat, and catch more fish.” “So what?” “So you can hire some help and catch even more fish.” “So what?” “When you have enough money you can live a better life. You don’t even have to go to the sea again. You will be able to enjoy the sunshine on the beach, like a tourist.” “I am already doing it,” smiled the fisherman. Part VI.
