Undoubtedly, they have proved valuable, but they also have disadvantages. For example, they have increased our already large number of crimes.Hacking was the first computer crime that most of us became aware of. By using their computing expertise, hackers can gain unauthorized access to someone else's computer and make use of the data they find there. They may, for example, find lists of their competitors' clients and use these lists to build up their own businesses or they may use hacking technology to fnd out a rival company's plans. Other hacking activities may be more obviously criminal, because hackers may log on to financial data in someone else's computer and alter it illegally or use it for fraudulent(欺诈的)purposes.The possibility of serious financial fraud has been greatly increased by the modern practice of purchasing goods through the Internet. Apparently, the use of credit cards to pay for purchase has led to many people being swindled(骗取) out of a great deal of money. Banks are working hard to improve online security and to provide safeguards for customers, but frauds are working just as hard to improve their techniques of deceiving people.Many computer users worry about thoir Systems bcing alfected by computor viruses. Pcople who introduce these bugs into other people'8 compuler programs may not intentionally commit a crime but may do so as an act of mischief. The motive does not really matter to people whose data has been deleted or altered or whose files have been corrupted. Computers are part of a highly technical method of working,in which there are constantly new developments. Unfortunately, there is also a constant stream of new developments in the fraud industry associated with them. All computer users must be on their guard.41. From the passage we can know that ________.A. computers are not a relatively new inventionB. computers have proved to be a curse rather than a blessingC. computers have proved to be of utue significanceD. computers have walked into our lives recently42. According to the passage, which of the following can make shopping online safe?A. Improving the banking security systemB. Always using credit cards.C. Withdrawing money from a bank only when you need it .D.Asking friends to shop online for you43.According to the passage, ________.A. computer users must be on guard against computer crimesB. hackers have authorized access to someone else's computerC people don't have to care much about computer virusesD. computer crimes can be prevented easily44. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as an example of hacking?A. Accessing someone else's financial dataB. Finding out a competitor's plansC. Sending computer viruses to the publicD. Finding the lists of a competitor's clients45. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Advantages of ComputersB Disadvantages of ComputersC. Computer HackinD. Computers Have Become a Must in PeoPassage 2The terms “global warming” and “climate change” are used by many, seemingly interchangeably. But do they really mean the same thing?Scientists shaped the history of the terms while attempting to accurately describe how humans continueto alter the planet. Later, political strategists adopted the terms to influence public opinion.In 1975, geochemist Wallace Broecker introduced the term “climate change” in an article published by Science. In 1979, a National Academy of Sciences report used the term “global warming” to define increases in the Earth’s average surface temperature, while “climate change” more broadly referred to the numerous effects of this increase, such as sea-level rise and ocean acidification (酸化).During the following decades, some industrialists and politicians launched a campaign to sow doubt in the minds of the American public about the ability offossil-fuel use, deforestation and other human activities to influence the planet’s climate.Word use played a critical role in developing that doubt. For example, the language and polls expert Frank Luntz wrote a memo encouraging the use of “climate change” because the phrase sounded less scary than “global warming”, reported the Guardian.However, Luntz’s recommendation wasn’t necessary. A Google Ngram Viewer chart shows that by 1993 climatechange was already more commonly used in books than global warming. By the end of the next decade both words were used more frequently, and climate change was used nearly twice as often as global warming. NASA used the term “climate change” because it more accurately reflects the wide range of changes to the planet caused by increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.The debate isn’t new. A century ago, chemist Svante Arrhenius started one of the first debates over the potential for humans to influence the planet’s climate. Arrhenius calculated the capability of carbon dioxide to trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, but other chemists disagreed. Some argued that humans weren’t producing enough greenhouse gases, while others claimed the effects would be tiny. Now, of course, we know that whatever you call it, human behavior is warming the planet, with grave consequences ahead.51.Why did politicians use the two terms“ "global warming”“ and“ climate change?A) To sway public opinion of the impact of humanactivities on Earth.B) To more accurately describe the consequences ofC) To win more popular votes in their campaign activities.D) To assure the public of the safety of existing industries52. As used in a National Academy of Sciences report.,the term“ "climate change" differs from“ global warming”in that_______A) it sounds less vagueB)it looks more scientifC)it covers more phenomenaD)it is much closer to reality53. What did industrialists of the late20 Oth century resort to in order to mislead Americans?A)Made-up survey resultsB)Hired climate expertsC)False research findingsD)Deliberate choice of words54. Why did NASA choose the term "climate change"?A) To obtain more fundsB.For greater precisionC)For political needsD) To avoid debate55. What is the author's final conclusion?A)Global warming is the more accurate termB) Accuracy of terminology matters in scienceC)Human activities have serious effects on EarthD)Politics interferes with serious scientific debate翻译1.Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.2.

Reading Comprehension ( 40 points)Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 4 passages inthis 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 choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1 Questions 56—60 are based on the following’passage •It is only a shiny, yellow metal, but it is one of the most valuable metals on earth. Since the beginning of time, men have looked for this extremely valuable item, gold.Gold is soft and easy to form into different objects. If it gets wet, it doesnot rust like iron or other metals. Acids do not change it. One important reasonthat gold is so valuable is that it is scarce.Due to its softness, gold must be combined with other metals to harden it andgive it strength. By hardening gold, people can then make coins and jewelry with it. Metals commonly mixed with gold are nickel, platinum, and copper. Gold jewelry bears a number and the letter K. The K means karat (carat), which is a measure of the amount of pure gold in the jewelry. Pure gold is 24K. Therefore,a necklace which is 14K is fourteen parts gold and ten parts other metal.Many countries utilize gold for certain coins, but this practice is not ascommon now as it once was. The United States, for instance, stopped making gold coins in 1933.56. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. A Valuable MetalB. Looking for GoldC. Jewelry and CoinsD.

Sustainable transportation is about combining economic, social and environmental factors into decisions that affect transportation activity.

In addition, we need a transportation system that respects the natural environment.It is not always easy to balance these three factors but there are alsowin-win-win opportunities.Sustainable transportation is important. Although transportation brings many economic and social benefits, the movement of people and goods can have important influences on the environment. These influences can in turn havesocial and economic consequences. Sustainable transportation calls for ensuring that the environment is considered along with economic and social considerationsin transportation decision-making.Environmental influences of transportation include air and water pollution, greenhouse effects, and the use of land and other natural resources, A range of transportation activities contribute to these pressures, including theconstruction of roads> the production, operation, and throwing away of vehicles} and the supply of energy and fuel.A major challenge of sustainable transportation is to control or prevent airpollution and greenhouse effects.61.

The author’s attitude towards the sustainable transportation is______.A. positiveB. criticalC. negativeD. doubtfulPassage 3 Questions 66—70 are based on the following passageAccording to psychologists, an emotion is aroused when a man or animal views something as either bad or good. When a person feels like running away from something he thinks will hurt him» we call this emotion fear. If the person wants to remove the danger by attacking it< we call the emotion anger. The emotions of joy and love are aroused when we think something can help us. An emotion does not have to be created by something in the outside world. It can be created by a person’s thoughts.Everyone has emotions. Many psychologists believe that infants are born without emotions. They believe children learn emotions just as they learn to read and write. A growing child not only learns his emotions but learns how to act incertain situations because of an emotion.Psychologists think that there are two types of emotions: positive and negative. Positive emotions include love, liking, joy, delight and hope. They are arousedby something that appeals to a person. Negative emotions make a person unhappy or dissatisfied. They include anger, fear, despair, sadness and disgust. Ingrowing up, a person learns to cope with the negative emotions in order to be happy.Emotions may be weak or strong. Some strong emotions are so unpleasant that a person will try any means to escape from them. In order to feel happy, theperson may choose unusual ways to avoid the emotion. Strong emotions can make it hard to think and to solve problems. They may prevent a person from learning or paying attention to what he is doing. For example, a student taking an examination may be so worried about failing that he cannot think properly. The worry drains valuable mental energy he needs for the examination.66. We learn from the passage that an emotion is created by something _____.A. one thinks bad or goodB. one feels in dangerC. one faces in the outside worldD. one tries to escape from real life67.

As used in the last sentence, the word "drains" probably meansA. helpsB. tiesC. weakensD. strengthensPassage 4 Questions 71—75 are based on the following passageA gloomy afternoon saw me taking my routine path through that construction site. For the walker’s convenience, a set of stone steps had been built* which were fairly steep. That was the place I found myself behind a husband and wife climbing up the steps with each other’s support.The couple seemed to be farmers in their forties. The wife in a red coat was walking with a stick, an empty trouser leg swaying below. With one hand on his shoulder, she leaned almost entirely on her husband* who carefully kept balance with her and carried her other stick. They limped (6W) their way upward withgreat difficulty. My curiosity urged me to overtake them and look back over my shoulder secretly. The glance sent a shiver through me» which produced a sensation I had never experienced before. The husband himself was also disabled —blind in both eyes! What struck me even more was the smile they both wore on their faces, such a happy smile as could only be seen from brides and bridegrooms. With few words between them, they smilingly helped each other struggle upwards.Then I noticed there were patches on their clothes, and their cloth shoes were homemade, worn-out but tidy. How could such sweet smiles reconcile with the patched clothing or the physical handicap? I got quite puzzled. When they advanced far ahead I still couldn’ t tear my eyes away from them, I was movedand my heart filled with admiration.At that moment I suddenly realized how superficial my idea of happiness hadbeen! To me it had always been associated with wealth, fame and power, the poor and the lowly having no share of it. However, happiness can be found in very ordinary life. I witnessed it on the weather-beaten faces of the husband andwife who had shared happiness and misfortune together. There is always happiness when there is an unfailing mutual support between two persons in love. -;71. How did the husband and wife climb up the steps?A. They didn’t help each other.B.

We can enjoy talking with new friends on the train, sharing fresh ideas with each other and getting to know each other better. What’s more, traveling by train is comparatively cheap and convenient. On the other hand, there are disadvantages for traveling by train. In most cases the crowded train makes us uncomfortable. Sometimes it is rather difficult to get a train ticket.As far as I am concerned, I prefer to travel by train. The reason is that I can spend less money and get in close touch with ordinary people on the train.。

The office guarantees that _____.A. they will give theirs on the basis of the Code of EthicsB. they will give perfectsC. they will offer professional help to all kinds of peopleD. all of the abovePassage 2When your parents tell you to “get an education” in order to raise your income, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.At least, you need to get a high school diploma, without it, you will be occupationally dead unless your name is George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can successfully drop out in grade school.If possible, get a college degree. With a B.A, you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you study for a master’s degree, make sure it is an MBA, and is famous law of diminishing returns begins to happen. Do you know, for example, that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes, the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $24000. While the full professors can earn just $ 23030.A Ph.D. is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degreecan quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you pursue such a degree in any other field, you will face a dim future. There are more Ph.D.s unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.If you become a doctor of philosophy in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages, or worst of all in philosophy, you have the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands. Thousands of Ph.D.s are driving cars, selling shoes, waiting on table, and filling out applications every month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater college that pays much less than the doorkeeper earns.You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.66. According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who ____.A. will not be a disgrace to societyB. will become loyal citizensC. can take care of themselvesD. can meet the nation’s demands as a sour ce of manpower67. Many PhDs are out of job because _____.A. they are improperly educatedB. they are of little commercial value to their societyC. there are fewer jobs in high schoolsD. they prefer easier jobs that make more money68. The nation is only interested in people _____.A. with diplomasB. who specialize in physics and chemistryC. who are valuable to the gross national productD. both A and C.69. Which of the following is not true?A. Bernard Shaw didn’t finish high schools, nor did Edison.B. One must think carefully before pursuing a master degree.C. The higher your education level, the more money you will earn.D. If you are too well-educated, you’ll be over educated for society’s demands.70. The writer sees education as _____.A. a means of providing job security and financial security and a means of meeting a c ountry’s demands for technical workersB. a way to broaden one’s horizonsC. more important than finding a jobD. an opportunity that everyone should havePassage 3Not all Americans are fit, or even try to be fit. The overall population is becoming heavier, because of bad eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle. Some researches estimate that less than half of Americans exercise in their leisure time. Experts say that it is not be cause Americans “don’t know what’s good for them”? They just don’t do it. Compared to the beginning of the 1980s, 75% of Americans in the 1990s say that physical fitness is more important to them now than it was then. But the National Center for Health Statistics reports that the number of people who are at least 20% over their desirable weight has risen from one in four to one in three Americans.Full of information on nutrition and proper diet is on newspapers and magazines. Television news programs urgepeople to eat more vegetables and warn of the dangers of high-fat diets and high cholesterol levels, particularly heart disease and certain types of cancer. Since 1994 the government has required uniform labeling so that consumers can compare the fat and calories in the food they buy. More than half of Americans say that they pay attention to the nutritional content of the food they eat, but they also eat what they really want whenever they feel like it.Experts say that it is a combination of social, cultural, and psychological factors that determine the way people eat. An article on America’s weight problems refers to “the culture of over-indulgence seemingly ingrained in American life”. “The land of plenty seems destined to include plenty of pounds as wel l,” they conclude. Part of the problem is that Americans eat larger portions and often go back for second helpings, in contrast to the reasonable amount people in many other countries have.Another factor is A mericans’ love of fast food. Some estimates are that 50% of Americans eat pizza once every two week, a percentage that is no doubt quite a bit higher among high school and college students. Americans are having more and more hamburgers, French fries, and soft drinks at restaurants, not only because they like them, but because these foods are the cheapest items.Another important factor is Americans’ busy lifestyle. Since so many women are working, families are eating a lot of fast food, frozen dinners, and restaurant “takeout”. Some experts think that Americans have really lost control of their eating; it is not possible to limit fat and calories when they eat so much restaurant and packaged food. It takes some time to preparefresh vegetables and fish; stopping at KFC on the way home from work is a much faster choice. Often American families eat "on the run" instead of sitting down at the table together.71. More than half of Americans do not exercise in their leisure time because______.A. they want to live a comfortable lifeB. they don’t know what’s good for themC. they are busyD. they just don't do it72. The number of overweighed people is _______.A. one in fourB. one in threeC. 20 percent of the populationD. 50 percent73. What does the word “over-i ndulgence” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Eating too much.B. Extreme work.C. Exercising too much.D. Sleeping too much.74. Americans like fast food because _______.A. it is cheapB. it is available everywhereC. Americans are quite busyD. all of the above75. We infer from the passage that _______.A. Americans usually sit down at the table and enjoy their foodB. Americans often eat at restaurantsC. Americans often eat in a hurryD. Americans often eat with their familiesPassage 4Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy by people. Almost everybody thinks attractive people are healthier and happier, and have better marriage and have more respectable jobs. Consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are kinder on attractive defendants. But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.While attractiveness is relatively positive for a man in his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were regarded as having more integrity than plainer men; effort and ability were considered to account for their success. While attractive female executives were thought to have less integrity than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and capability than the attractive female executives. It is interesting that the rise of the unattractive overnight success was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than was that of attractive overnight success.Why are charming women not thought to be capable? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine (and an attractive man more masculine.) Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditional female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the “masculine” qualities that are required.This is true even in politics. “If the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differentl y,” says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125undergraduate students to rank two groups of photos, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photos were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order that they would vote for them. The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.76. The word “liability” in Paragraph 1 most probably means “_______”.A. misfortuneB. instabilityC. disadvantageD. burden77. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness _______.A. reinforces the feminine qualities requiredB. makes women look more honest and capableC. is of primary importance to womenD. often enables women to succeed quickly78. Bowman’s experime nt reveals that when it comes to politics, attractiveness _____.A. turns out to be an obstacle to menB. affects men and women alikeC. has as little effect on men as on womenD. is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women79. It can be inferred from t he passage that people’s views on beauty are often _____.A. practicalB. prejudicedC. old-fashionedD. radical80. The author writes this passage to _______.A. discuss the negative aspects of being attractiveB. give advice to job seekers who are attractiveC. demand equal rights for womenD. emphasize the importance of appearancePart ⅣTranslation ( 2 × 10 points)Directions: There are 10 sentences in this section.

It is not just the course fees.Students must also 3 for room and board.In addition,they may spend money 4 clothes,travel,and other things. Thus,students need to budget 5 .At most universities teachers can give students suggestions on how to spend their money.The first thing they suggest is to write down your 6 ,for example,the money you will get from your family or a part-time job.Then list all of your expenses.Put your expenses into two 7 : those that change (food,books,travel),and those that will stay the same (tuition,room and board).Add together all of your expenses. When you do this,you find it is 8 to plan out your budget.This means you can save your money,rather than trying to 9 from others.As you can see,there is more to learn at university than just 10 is taught in the classroom.____三、填空题(5题)24.To everybody's ____ , the actor fell off the stage during the evening performance.

Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventure—those who have climbed the highest mountains, explored unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who seek an immediate thrill from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge, or a hot-air balloon)200 metres above the ground with an elastic rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour till the rope stops you from hitting the ground.It is estimated that 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities as risky as bungee jumping involve jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high cliffs. Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people's lives were constantly under threat. They had to go out and hunt for food, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival.Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in a comparatively safe environment; they buy food in shops, and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to seek danger in activities such as bungee jumpingWhat's the best title for the passage()A.Dangerous Sports: What and WhyB.The Boredom of Modern LifeC.Bungee Jumping: Is It Really DangerousD.The Need for Excitement38.According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery ______()es a solid semiconductorB.will soon replace the present onesC.could be extremely thinD.has passed the final test六、作文(1题)39.1.目前,越来越多的大学生做兼职。

corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneAll the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who didnot have to pay for her shopping.For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised.It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods.This May Be Your Lucky Day!”For several weeks Mrs.Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer.Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping.The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need.Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed.She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day.Everything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea.She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk.As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her.“Madam,”he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”61.The housewives learnt about the of free goods _______.A.on TVB.from the managerC.at the supermarketD.from the newspaper62.Mrs.Edwards ________.A.is always very luckyB.had no friendsC.hoped to get free shoppingD.gets disappointed easily63.Mrs.Edwards’s husband tried to ________.A.make her unhappyB.cheer her

shopping65.Mrs.Edwards must have been ________.A.pleasedB.delightedC.proudD.disappointedPassage TwoDeep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East.Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea.It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake.The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation.The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain.Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room,”many Indian artisfacts have been found.Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905.In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground.He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors.More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found.Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.66.The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________.part of a historical cave systemthe biggest underground lake in the worldlisted in the Guinness Book of World Recordsthe largest body of water in Tennessee67.The Craighead Caverns have been known ________.A.through historyB.since the time of the Indian nationsC.since 1905D.since divers explored them68.Who located the Lost Sea in recent times?A.The Cherokee Indians.B.Tourists.C.Ben Sands.D.Scientists.69.What was found in “The Council Room”?A.A small natural opening.B.A large cave.C.Another series of rooms.D.Many old Indian objects.70.It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presently serve as ____.A.an underground testing siteB.an Indian meeting groundC.a tourist attractionD.a motor boat race coursePassage ThreeGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials.Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure.So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast.Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news.Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast.“Going without breakfast does not affect performance,”said Arrold E.Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most ofthe recent work involves children, not adults, “The literature”, says one researcher, Dr.Erresto at the University of Texas, “is poor”.71.The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _______.A.the year the author wrote the articleB.1977C.any year between 1997 and 1983D.198372.For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______.several studies have been done in the past few yearsthe omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s healthadults have especially made studies in this fieldeating little in the morning is good for health73.“…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance”means ______.anyone without breakfast does improve his performancenot giving people breakfast improve performancehaving breakfast does not improve performance, eitherpeople having breakfast do improve their performance74.The word “literature”in the last sentence refers to _______.A.stories, poems, plays, etc.B.written works on a particular subjectC.any printed materialD.the modern literature of America75.What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _______.breakfast does not affect performanceDr.Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learningnot eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenProfessor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonPassage FourAbout 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning.The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university.These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science (B.S.) degree.Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生).It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one.Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school.Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive.Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships.Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school.Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs.Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time.Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjoy social activities.Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular.However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.76.College education is _______ in America.A.quite commonB.very rareC.something difficultD.almost impossible77.Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools.A.entrance examinationsB.taking part in many activitiesC.GPAD.college prep classes78.How can poor students attend private schools?A.Only by working at part-time jobs.B.Only by working at full-time jobs.C.Only by earning scholarships.D.All of above.79.The American college students like to _______ most of all.A.discuss problems on philosophyB.play ballsC.earn enough moneyD.go to the cinemas or theatres80.The best title for this passage is _______.A.Part-time jobsB.American collegeC.Popular activityD.A

Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 12 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneThis is not the world we know. This world is controlled by computers. Men and women can be seen, but they are following orders given to them by machines. The machines were designed by mad scientists, but at some point even the mad scientists were taken over by their super-inventions.Does this sound familiar? You have probably read something like it in magazines or books, or seen it in a film. Why is it so popular? One of the reasons is that it reflects the fears of many people; fear of the unknown, fear of what is not understood or, at least, fear of something that is not completely understood.The fact is that every day it seems that computers take control of another area of our lives. Some factory jobs are now done by robots and the robots are controlled by computers. Our bank accounts are managed by computers. At the airport, our tickets are sold by a computer. Certainly, many of these operations are made more efficient by computers, but our admiration is sometimes mixed with unsafe feelings. And this lack of safety is caused by the fact that we do not know how computers do these things, and we really don’t know what th ey might do next.But we can find out how computers work, and once we understand them, we can use computers instead of worrying about being used by them. Today, there is a new generation of computer wizards (奇才) who know exactly how computers get things done. These young men and women, usually university students, are happy to sit for hours, sometimes for days, designing programs, not eating, not sleeping, but discovering what can be done by these wonderful slaves which they have learned to control. These computer wizards have learned to use the computer and search for new tasks for their machines.161. We can know that the scientists who designed the machines _____________.A. are careless in their daily lifeB. are unkind and cruelC. are out of their mindD. have great abilities162. The reason why many people are afraid of computers is that ____________.A. they don't know anything about computersB. they haven't really understood computersC. there are so many computer gamesD. computers are often down163. The author mentions computer wizards in order to point out that ____________.A. computers can be controlled by manB. there should be more people devoted to computersC. only young people are interested in computersD. more time and energy is required to control computers164. This passage is probably written to suggest that ____________.A. some day computers can deal with all human problemsB. computers can be used in place of traveling to our jobsC. people should not fear computersD. computer technolo gy will not meet people’s needs in various situations165. The author's attitude (态度) towards widely used computers is_________.A. positiveB. anxiousC. worriedD. curiousPassage TwoKnowledge is power. But there is another thing we must remember. An intelligent mind needs a strong body to make it most useful.There are a great many good exercises for building up our bodies. Many of them may be done indoors in rainy weather. Indoor exercises, however, are never as helpful as those taken out of doors because in the open air there is more oxygen. The air in the house is not fresh. But out of doors it is very fresh, especially in the morning.But what shall we play? There are a number of games such as football, basketball, races and so on. Any game with plenty of exercises is good.Do not neglect your health. It is of as much importance as your mind. Our country now needs people with creative minds, good judgment, and healthy bodies.166. One who has an intelligent mind is ______ .A. very strongB. very healthyC. very cleverD. very stupid167. “An intelligent mind needs a strong body to make it useful.” means ______ .A. if you want to make your strong body useful, you must have an intelligent mindB. in order to make your intelligent mind useful, you must have a strong bodyC. to make your strong mind and strong body most useful you need a strong bodyD. if you have a strong body you will have a strong mind168. Which of the following statements is true?A. Indoor exercises are as helpful as outdoor ones.B. Indoor exercises are no more helpful than outdoor exercises.C.

Survivors are artists. The best acting is done in daily life, not on the stage. My late uncle Sir Alexander Korda, the motion-picture producer who could “charm money out of an empty safe”, was a gifted survivor.Once, a group of investors called him in to complain that he had lost 5 000 000 of their money. Most men would have tried to defend themselves. Alex did not. “You are right,” he said quietly, “I have been wasteful, and careless. I have chosen the wrong scri pts, paid too little attention to the budgets. I am too old for this business. I will retire. I on ly hope you will forgive me.”Within an hour, the investors were busy encouraging Alex, cheering him up. It was out of the question for him to resign; they wouldn’t hear it. And by lunchtime, Alex had 2 000 000 more of their money and was back in the action again. When I asked him if he was happy about it, he said, “No. They would have put up three or four million, I think. Still, it’s a good lesson for you to learn. Always s ettle for less than you could get. It doesn’t hurt to have a reputation as a gentleman.”。
