Reading ComprehenPassage 1There was a time when, if a lady got into a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer her his seat. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone gets off. You can’t entirely blame men for this change in manners. The days are gon e when women could be treated as the weaker sex. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men; not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes. Hold a door open for some women and you’re likely to get an angry lectur e on treating women as inferiors, unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for a meal and she’ll probably insist on paying hershare of the bill. It’s no wonder, then, that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness and consider ation which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, man’s politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by more consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings.46.What will gentlemen nowadays do when a lady gets on a crowded but or train?A. They will stand up reluctantly.B. They will offer her their seats after a while.C. They will pretend not to see her.D. They will get off the bus.47.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Men have become less and less the weaker sex.B. The women are thought of as the weaker sex.C. The women could not open doors for themselves.D. Men’s attitudes towards women are reasonable.48.Why are some women likely to get angry as a man holds the door open for them?A.Because they think they are looked down upon.B. Because they are treated too politely.C. Because the man should not hold the door open.D. Because men often offend women in this manner.49.What is replacing men’s ge stures of politeness?A.More graceful politeness towards women.B. More consideration for women’s needs and feelings.C. More impolite gestures of social behavior to women.D. More equal treatment to women in every respect.50.What can we learn from this passage?A.Men ought to make gestures of politeness towards women.B. Women ought to make gestures of politeness towards men.C. Women have achieved equality with men.D. Men are beginning to treat women as equal human beings.Passage 2With the growth of the information Superhighway, a logical development in the job searching process is the electronic resume. Electronic resumes can be e-mailed to employers, posted on electronic resume databases, and cut-and-pasted into any place where you are asked for an online resume. Human resources directors and business owners know that they can locate qualified job seekers by going to sites that post electronic resumes. Employment sites can help you compose your resu me and post it online. Services like “Online Resumes” (/) will easily change your resume to HTML and add it to their database, where it can be accessed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Employers can select criteria(标准), and a search tool will select potential candidates from thousands of resumes. Pam Dixon has written a useful resource book named Job Searching Online for Dummies. In it you can learn what to include and what not to include in your resume. Another suggestion is to look at what other people are doing online. Take advantage of this high-tech way to market yourself on the Internet. Beyond help for your resume, online career resources for job seekers include how to have a successful interview and how to find the right job for you. Using the Internet can give you a competitive edge that will set you apart from other job seekers and help you reach your personal career goal.51.In order to find qualified job seekers, personnel directors and business owners often ___________.A.create a web siteB. select a search toolC. visit websites that post electronic resumesD. read Pam Dixon’s book52.What can you get from the employment sites?A. They tell you how to prepare an electronic resume and send it on line.B. They provide you with the addresses of companies that seek employees.C. They inform you of the most favorable job opportunities you can have.D. They give you suggestions on a successful interview with the employer.53.The electronic resume database allows employers _______________.A. to post their own resumes onlineB. to examine candidates’ resumes at any time they likeC. to set up time for an interview with candidatesD. to select their criteria and their search tool54.After reading P am Dixon’s book you may know _______________.A.where to post your resumeB. how to achieve your career goalB.C. how to compose your resume D. when to have an interview55.The author’s purpose of writing the passage is ___________.A.to help people to find the right jobB. to help employers to find a potential candidateC. to show the way a resume is preparedD. to introduce the electronic resumePassage 3Do you know how to use a mobile phone without being rude to the people around you? Talking during a performance irritates(激怒) people. If you are expecting an emergency call, sit near the exit doors and set your phone to vibrate(振动). When your mobile phone vibrates, you can leave quietly and let the others enjoy the performance. Think twice before using mobile phones in elevators, museums, churches or other indoor public places—especially enclosed spaces. Would you want to listen to someone’s conversation in these places? Worse yet, how would you feel if a mobile phone rang suddenly during a funeral! It happens more often than you think. Avoid these embarrassing situations by making sure your mobile phone is switched off. When eating at a restaurant with friends, don’t place your mobile phone on th e table. This conveys the message that your phone calls are more important than those around you. Mobile phones have sensitive microphones that allow you to speak at the volume you would on a regular phone. This enables you to speak quietly so that other s won’t hear the details of your conversation. If you are calling ina noisy area, use your hand to direct your voice into the microphone.56.What should you do when you need to answer a phone call during a performance?A.Call back after the performance.B. Answer it near the exit door.C. Talk outside the exit door.D. Speak in a low voice.57.Putting your mobile phone on a restaurant table may make your friends think ___________.A. you prefer to talk to your friends at the tableB. you value your calls more than your friendsC. you are enjoying the company of your friendsD. you are polite and considerate of your friends.58.The author implies that the use of mobile phone in such places as museums should be _________.A. encouragedB. expectedC. discouragedD. recommended59. When you are calling in a noisy area, you are advised to _______________.A. use a more sensitive microphoneB. shout loudly into your microphoneC. go away quietly to continue the phone callD. use your hand to help speak into the phone60. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. You should limit your mobile phone calls to personal affairs.B. You should speak quietly into your mobile phone at a funeral.C. You are supposed to turn off your mobile phone at a funeral.D. You are supposed to use your mobile phone as much as possible.Passage 4If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research result of Professor Faulkner, who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon. Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at s relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down. He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations. Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intelligence and emotion, and determine the human character. Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy-year-olds. Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction—using the head. The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in peoplein the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Faulkner, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White-collar workers doing routine work are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants. Faulkner’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says. “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators”.61.Professor Faulkner wanted to find out __________.A.how people’s brains shrinkB. the way of making people live longerC. the size of certain people’s brainsD. why certain people aged sooner than others62. Faulkner’s research findings are based on ____________.A. a survey of farmers in northern JapanB. tests performed on a thousand old peopleC. the study of brain volumes of different peopleD. the latest development of computer technology63. The underlined word “subjects” in paragraph 5 means _____________.A. branches of knowledge studied in a schoolB. something to be consideredC. persons experimented onD. citizens in a country64. The professor’s findings show that ______________.A. our brains shrink as we grow oldB. the front section of the brain does not shrinkC. seventy-year-olds have better brains than sixty-year-oldsD. thinking can slow down the process of ageing65. According to the passage, which group of people seem to age slower than the others?A. FarmersB. LawyersC. ClerksD. Shop assistantsV.

corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Many people are frightened by spiders(蜘蛛).They are especially afraid of large,hairy ones.The largest and most frightening of all spiders is the bird-eating spider,which lives in the hot, thick rain forests of northern South America.Bird-eating spiders are a type of tarantula(狼蛛).They can bite,and the bite is painful,but it will not kill a grown-up.The poisonous bite of a black widow spider is far more dangerous.Bird-eating spiders often hide in holes and under rocks during the day,but at night they creep out and hunt for insects.As you might guess from their name,they also catch birds and eat them.They have another unusual ability.They can walk up windowpanes(玻璃窗)because of sticky, silky hairs on their feet that cling to glass.46.This spider

literature is better known or more loved than Amuel Lang home Chemens born in1835.He grew up in the banks of the Mississippi River and used the pen name of“Mark Twain”.The two novels brought him his greatest fame:Toni Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Another book,Life on the Mississippi,told of his adventures on the river boats of the period.It was during the Civil War that Mark Twain’s life as a writer started.At that time he was working as a newspaper man in Nevada and California.His short story,The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County,was an immediate success and his new life began.In1870,Mark Twain married Olivia Langdon.He had fallen in love with his wife even before he met her.His wife had a greet influence on Twain’s later books.Mark Twain was also a very successful lecturer.His travels around the country giving talks on different kinds of subjects helped make him famous and increased the sale of his books.Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are considered Twain’s best works.They are marked by humor and satire（讽刺刺⽂文学，讽刺刺）and provide his readers with an excellent picture of his time. His last book was completed in1909,one year before his death.He was then74years old.51.Mark Twain is.A.the best known author in America literatureB.the best known author in the worldC.the best author in America all the timeD.the best author in the world52.The book,Life on the Mississippi told us.A.his adventures on the MississippiB.his successful way to a writerC.his life as a writerD.his successful lectures53.Which of the following novels made him famous?A.Tom SawyerB.Huckleberry FinnC.Life on the MississippiD.Both A and B54.Mark Twain’s life as a writer stared.A.when he was a boyB.before he got marriedC.after he got marriedD.when he got married55.From the story we can learn that Mark Twain.A.was a good speakerB.was a good readerC.was a poor newspaper manD.could draw wonderful picturesTask3(3point each;15point in all)Directions:This task is the same as Task1(No.56through No.60).Money is used for buying or selling goods,for measuring value and for storing wealth. However,in primitive societies a system of barter was used.Barter was a system of direct exchange of good.Somebody could exchange a sheep,for example,for anything in the market place that he or she considered to be of equal value.Barter,however,was a very unsatisfactory system of exchange,and various money systems developed based on goods that the members of a society recognized as having value.Cattle,grain,teeth,shells,salt,and tobacco had all been used. Precious metals gradually took over because,when made into coins,they were portable,durable, recognizable,and divisible into larger and smaller units of value.A coin is a piece of metal,usually disc-shaped,which bears lettering,designs or numbers showing its value.Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries,coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them,but most modern coins are based on face value—the value that the governments choose to give them,which doesn’t show the actual metal content.Coins have been made of gold,silver,copper,plastic and in China even from tealeaves. Most governments now issue paper money in the form of bills,which are really“promises to pay”. Paper money is obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern world. Checks and credit cards are being used increasingly,and it is possible to imagine a world where “money”in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be used.Even today,in the United States,many places,especially filling stations will not accept cash at night for security reasons.56.“Barter”(Line2,Paragraph l)here means.A.exchanging goods for moneyB.exchanging goods for goodsC.exchanging a sheep for anything in the marketD.exchanging money for goods57.Why were precious metals gradually used for making coins?A.Because they were durable and portable.B.Because they were recognizable.C.Because they were divisible.D.All of the above.58.Coins were given value according to the exact amount of metals contained in them.A.before the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesB.after the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesC.during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesD.between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries59.“Promises to pay”(Line6,Paragraph2)means.A.possibilities to payB.necessities to payC.obligations to payD.opportunities to pay60.A world without any money in the form of coins and paper is.A.suitableB.possibleC.necessaryD.avoidableTask4(3points each;15points in all)Directions:This task is the same as Task l(No.61through No.65).In most lectures,several main ideas are presented.These are the concepts（思想）the lecturer wants the students to remember.Often the lecturer has a general idea that serves as an“umbrella”covering the other main concepts.The students'job,then,is to pick out the main concepts, including the“umbrella”idea.Lecturers usually begin with an introduction.Sometimes the main concepts and the “umbrella”idea are briefly presented in the introduction;often they are not.Next comes the body of the lecture.It is here that the several main concepts are always presented.The final part of a lecture,the conclusion,is traditionally a summary of the main concepts.This is alsothe place where the“umbrella”idea can most easily be repeated,restated,or even introduced for the first time.When a lecture is well organized,with a clear-cut beginning,middle and end,the main ideas are usually easy to pick out.When a lecture is not well organized,getting the gist of what is being said is quite difficult.Some lecturers are“long-winded”,taking a long time to come to the point.Others ramble on(杂乱地漫谈)and never seem to come to the point at all.61.While listening to a lecture,the students are expected to remember.62.A lecture is usually made up of three parts-,and according to this passage.63.Sometimes,both and of a lecture are put forward in the introduction. 64．A lecture with a neatly-planned,and is said to be a well organized lecture.65.The summary is in_of a lecture and it is also the place where the is mostly mentioned again.Ⅳ.Translation(35points)Section ADirections:Translate the following sentences from English into Chinese(4points each for No.66through No.68;6points for No.69;18points in all.)66.There is no general agreement about what can and should be done to solve the problem of pollution.67.Such networks as have been designed specially to enable people to send message to each other by computers are known as E-mail.68.Of all living things,only human beings can choose.where and how they want to live and then modify the physical environment to help them realize these choices.69.Some people believe that it is necessary for the government to take an active role in population planning because many people will not limit themselves to just one or two children.Section BDirections:Translate the following sentences from Chinese into English(4points each for No.70through No.72;5points for No.73;17points in all.)70.他认为退休以后就能集中精⼒力力⼲干他喜欢的事了了。

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four 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 one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneIn ancient times wealth was measured and exchanged in things that could be touched: food, tools, and precious metals and stones. Then the barter system was replaced by coins, which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coins were followed by fiat money, paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept them.Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms, reducing it to a series of “bits and bytes”, or units of computerized information, going between machines at the speed of light. Already, electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks, companies, and countries through computers and telecommunications devices.61. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?A. International Banking PoliciesB. The History of Monetary ExchangeC. The Development of Paper CurrenciesD. Current Problems in the Economy正确答案是:B 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------62. According to the passage, which of the following was the earliest kind of exchange of wealth?A. Bartered foodsB. Fiat moneyC. Coin currencyD. Intangible forms正确答案是:A 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------63. The author mentions food, tools and precious metals and stones together because they are all ________.A. useful itemsB. articles of valueC. difficult things to obtainD. material objects正确答案是:D 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------64. According to the passage, coins once had real value as currency because they ______.A. represented a great improvement over barterB. permitted easy transportation of wealthC. were made of precious metalsD. could become collector’s items正确答案是:C 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------65. Which of the following statements about computerized monetary systems is NOT supported by the passage?A. They promote international trade.B. They allow very rapid money transfers.C. They are still limited to small transactions (交易).D. They are dependent on good telecommunications systems.Passage Two正确答案是:C 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------At the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different coloredwalls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. Movement of each group was followed by an electrical equipmentunder the carpet. The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one. Dark brown made people more active, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented. Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same photos, but each group was inan ordinary room—a nice office. The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting. Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did. Other studies that students do better on tests taken in comfortable room than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.66. Which of the following is the best expression of the main idea of this passage?A. People in beautiful rooms tend to give higher marks to photos of faces than people in ugly roomsB. The color and general appearance of a room have a deeper effect on the behavior of the people in itC. The University of Kansas has studied the effects of the color of room on people’s behaviorD. Beautifully furnished, light-coloured rooms make people more comfortable than ugly, dark rooms正确答案是:B 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------67. According to the passage, we may conclude that the whiter a room is ________.A. the longer people like to stay in itB. the sooner people in it will leaveC. the more active people in it will becomeD. the more excited people正确答案是:A 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------68.

At least how many tests were carried out by the scientists referred to in this passage?A. ThreeB. TwoC. Only oneD. No one knows Passage Three正确答案是:A 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------The water we drink and use is running short in the world. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our limited water. One of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field.Today in most large cities, fresh water is used only once, then it runs into waste system. But it is possible to pipe the used water to a purifying factory. There it can be filteredand treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as it were fresh from a spring.But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Then we could turn to the oceans. All we’d have to do to make use of the seawater on earth is to get rid of the salt. This process is called desalinization, and it is already in use in many parts of the world.71. The way to stop wasting our limited water is to ________.A. do experiments with waterB. purify the used water and reuse itC. use fresh water once againD. make use of seawater正确答案是:B 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------72. The following tells us how to reuse the used water. Which is the right order of the passage?A. to have the used water filteredB. to put chemicals in itC. to pipe it to the usersD. to pipe the used water to be purified to a factory正确答案是:A 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------73. There wouldn’t be enough water for us if we didn’t _________.A. turn to the oceans for more waterB. reuse used water and make use of seawaterC. desalt seawaterD. take steps to reuse all water on earth正确答案是:B 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------74. The would “it” in the last sentence refers to _______.A. seawaterB. purified waterC. the process of getting rid of the salt in seawaterD. the process of collecting salt from the sea oceans正确答案是:C 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------75. The best title for the p assage is “_______”.A. How to Reuse WaterB. Two Solutions to the Problem of Water ShortageC. Stop Wasting Our Limited WaterD. How to Make Use of SeawaterPassage Four正确答案是:B 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Some people hate everything that is modern. They cannot imagine how anyone can really like modern music; they find it hard to accept the new fashions in clothing; they think that all modern painting is ugly; and they seldom have a good word for the new buildings that are being built everywhere in the world. Such people look for perfection in everything, and they take their standards of perfection from the past. They are usually impatient with anyone who is brave enough to experiment with new or to express himself or the age in materials original ways. It is, of course, true that many artists do not succeed in their work and instead produce works that can only be considered as failures. If the work of art is a painting, the artist’s failure concern s himself alone, but if it is a building, his failure concerns others too, because it may damage the beauty of the whole place. This does sometimes happen, but it is completely untrue to say, as some people do, that modern architecture is nothing.We can’t judge every modern building by the standards of the ancient time, even though we admire the ancient buildings. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The modern architect knows he should learn from the ancient works, but with his greater resources of knowledge and materials, he will never be content to imitate the past. He is too proud to do that.76. Some people hate everything that is modern because _______.A. they are agedB. they find it hard to accept modern thingsC. they take their standards of perfection from the GreekD. they look at things by the standards of the past正确答案是:D 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------77. The writer of the passage thinks that ________.A. it is true to say artists fail in their workB. it is untrue to say artists fail in their workC. it is true to say some artists fail in their workD. it is true to say only painters fail in their work正确答案是:C 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------78. The writer thinks the failure of a building _______.A. means nothingB. concerns othersC. concerns only the artistD. concerns all the people in the world正确答案是:B 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------79. The writer thinks that _________.A. we can’t judge buildings by the ancient standardsB. we can’t judge all the buildings by the ancient standardsC. we can’t judge all the modern buildings by the ancient standardsD. w e can’t judge modern buildings正确答案是:C 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------80. Technologically, the modern buildings are more advanced. The sentence means _____.A. the ancient architects had no technologyB. the modern architects use more advanced technologyC. the modern buildings are advanced because they are completely different from the ancient buildingsD. the modern buildings are more beautiful正确答案是:B 您的答案是:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ⅴ.

The largest and most frightening of all spiders is the bird–eating spider,which lives in the hot, thick rain forests of northern South America.Bird–eating spiders are a type of tarantula(狼蛛).They can bite,and the bite is painful,but it will not kill a grown–up.The poisonous bite of a black widow spider is far more dangerous.Bird--eating spiders often hide in holes and under rocks during the day,but at night they creep out and hunt for insects.As you might guess from their name,they also catch birds and eat them.They have another unusual ability.They can walk up window pans(玻璃窗)because of sticky.Silky hairs on their feet that cling to glass.()46.This spider lives there the climate is_______.A.wet and hotB.cool and dryC.hot and dryD.cool and wet.()47.The article says that the bird–eating spider is a kind of_________.rge crabB.tarantulaC.black widow spiderD.All of the above()48.Bird–eating spiders hunt_________.A.during the dayB.at nightC.at dawnD.Both A and B()49.According to the story,bird–eating spiders_________.A.can catch birds and eat themB.can walk up windowpanesC.can give a person a painful biteD.All of the above()50.Implied but not stated_________.A.The bird-eating spider is unable to climb wellB.The bird-eating spider likes to stay in treesC.The bird-eating spider can be found in many parts of the worldD.One can hardly see a bird-eating spider during the dayTask2(2pointd each;10points in all)Directions:This task is the same as Task I(No.51through No.55)No author in American literature is better known or more loved than Amuel Langhome Chemens.born in Missouri in1835.He grew up in the banks of the Mississippi River and used the pen name of“Mark Twain”.The two novels brought him his greatest fame:Toni Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn.Another book,Life on the Mississippi,told of his adventures on the river boats of the period.It was during the Civil War that Mark Twain’s life as a writer started.At that time he was working as a newspaper man in Nevada and California.His short story,The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras Count3,was an immediate success and his new life began.In1870,Mark Twain married Olivia Langdon.He had fallen in love with her wife even before he met her.His wife had a great influence on Twain’s later books.Mark Twain was also a very successful lecturer.His travels around the country giving talk son different kinds of subjects helped make him famous and increased the sale of his books.Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are considered Twain’s best works.They are marked by humor and satire(讽刺文学,讽刺)and provide his readers with an excellent picture of his time.

However,in primitive societies a system of barter was used.Barter was a system of direct exchange of goods.Somebody could exchange a sheep,for example,for anything in the market place that he or she considered to be of equal value.Barter,however,was a very unsatisfactory system of exchange,and various money systems developed based on goods that the members of a society recognized as having value.Cattle,grain,teeth,shells,salt,and tobacco had all been used. Precious metals gradually took over because,when made into coins,they were portable,durable, recognizable,and divisible into larger and smaller units of value.A coin is a piece of metal,usually disc-shaped,which bears lettering,designs or numbers showing its value.Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries,coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them,but most modern coins are based on face value–the value that the governments choose to give them,which doesn’t show the actual metal content.Coins have been made of gold,silver,copper,plastic and in China even from tealeaves. Most governments now issue paper money in the form of bills,which are really“promises to pay.”Paper money is obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern world. Checks and credit cards are being used increasingly,and it is possible to imagine a would where “money”in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be used.Even today,in the United States,many places,especially filling stations will not accept cash at night for security reasons.

Others ramble on(杂乱地漫谈)and never seem to come to the point at all.61.While listening to a lecture,the students are expected to remember________.62.A lecture is usually made up of three parts-,______and_______according to this passage.63.Sometimes,both______and_______of a lecture are put forward in the introduction.64.A lecture with a neatly-planned_______,_______and________is said to be a well organized lecture.65.The summary is in_______of a lecture and it is also the place where the______is mostly mentioned again.IV.Translation(35points)(I)Translate the following sentences from English into Chinese(4points each for No.66 through No.68;6points for No.69;18points in all)mentioned again66.There is no general agreement about what can and should be done to solve the problem of pollution.67.Such networks as have been designed specially to enable people to send message to each other by computers are known as E-mail.68.of all living things,only human beings can choose where and how they want to live and then modify the physical environment to help themselves realize these choices.69.Some people believe that it is necessary for the government to take an active role in population planning because many people will not limit themselves to just one or two children.(II)Translate the following sentences from Chinese into English(4points each for No.70 through No.72;5points for No.73;17points in all)70.他认为退休以后就能集中精力干他喜欢的事了。

Reading Comprehension (50 points)Task l (2 points each, 10 points in all)Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements (No.46 through No. 50). For each question or statement there are 4 choices. You should make the correct choice and put the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Who takes care of the elderly in the United States today？The fact is that family members provide over 80% of the care that elderly people need. In most cases the elderly live in their own homes: A very small percentage of America’s elderly live in nursing homes.Samuel Preston, a sociologist at the University of Pennsylvania, studied how the American family is changing. He reported that by the time the average American couple reaches about 40 years of age, their parents are usually still alive. The statistics show the change in lifestyles and responsibilities of aging (老龄化) Americans. The average middle-aged couple can look forward to caring for elderly parents sometime after their own children have grown up. Moreover, because people today live longer after an illness than people did years ago, family members must provide long-term care. These facts also mean that after caregivers provide for their elderly parents, who will eventually die, they will be old and may require care too. When they do, their spouses(配偶) will probably take care of them because they have had fewer children than their parents did.Because Americans are living longer than ever, more social workers have begun to study ways of care-giving to improve the care of the elderly. They have found that all care-givers share a common characteristic: They believe that they are the best people for the job. The social workers have also discovered three basic reasons why the caregivers take on the responsibility of caring for an elderly, dependent relative. Many caregivers believe they had an obligation (职责) to helptheir relatives.Some think that helping others makes them feel more useful. Others hope that by helping someone now, they will deserve care when they become old and dependent.46. Samuel Preston's study shows thatA. lifestyles and responsibilities of the elderly are not changingB. most American couples over 40 have no living parentsC. middle-aged Americans have to take care of their children and parents at the same timeD. elderly people may need care for a long time because they live longer after an illness47. Who will most probably take care of the middle-aged Americans when they need care themselves?A. They themselves.B. Their close friends.C. Their children.D. Their husbands or wives48. All caregivers believe that they canA. care for their elderly parents better than any other peopleB. keeps closer to their old parents by this meansC. does much better if they have a job as social workersD. improve the care of the elderly with the help of the social workers49. Which of the following is NOT a reason why people look after their relatives？A. They feel they are of use to other people.B. They want to set an example to their children.C. They think it is their duty to help their relatives.D. They hope they deserve care when they need it.50. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Most old people live longer today after an illness than people did years ago.B. Many old people are put into nursing homes by their families, who do not visit them regularly.C. Most elderly people are taken care of by their families, who assume the responsibility for different reasons.D. Most elderly people are satisfied with the better ways of care-giving that social workers have come up with.Task 2(2 points each, 10 points in all)Directions: This task is the same as Task l( No.51 through No.55).I once knew a young man, nineteen years of age, who lived with absolute outward（外表的）confidence and self-possession for a number of years before I discovered that he could not read or write. His various methods of trick, which were also skills of self-protection, were so skillful and so desperate（绝望）that neither I nor any of his other adult friends were aware of his entire helplessness in face of written words until we went to dinner one night at a local restaurant-and suddenly discovered that he could not read.Even here, it was not the first time we went out to eat, but something like the second or third, that Peter's desperation shocked me. The first time, he was clever enough to cover the truth. He studied the menu for a moment, then looked up to the waitress and asked her if he could have "just a coke and a hamburger". He told me later that he had done the same thing many times before and that he had learned to act as if he were examining the menu:" Then I ask for a coke and a hamburger...Sometimes they give me a hamburger on a plate with salad and potatoes...Then I ask them for a roll and make my own hamburger. "As we began to go out to eat more frequently, Peter would ask to go to Howard Johnson’s.I soon discovered the reason for his choice: The photographs, attached in cellophane (玻璃纸)containers to each of the standard items on the menu, could help him not to struggle with the shape of words at all. Howard Johnson’s, whether intentionally or not, had provided the perfect escape for the endangered pride of an adult who was illiterate(文盲).51. When he went to a restaurant, Peter would .A. pretend that he could not read or writeB. pretend to be studying the menuC. be desperate for help from other peopleD. protect himself by playing a musical instrument52. The young man was not found to be illiterate until .A. he dined out with his adult friends at Howard Johnson'sB. he could no longer come up with various ways of deceptionC. he had dinner with his friends at a certain local restaurant for the second or third timeD. he was not careful enough to be aware of his entire helplessness in face of written words53. What did the young man usually have at a restaurant?A. Standard items on the menu.B. A hamburger made by himself.C. Foods that other people ordered.D. A coke and a hamburger.54. The word" self-possession" (Para. 1) probably meansA. self-confidenceB. self-consciousnessC. self-disciplineD. self-devotion55. Why did the young man like to go to Howard Johnson's? :A. Howard Johnson's provided a perfect escape when anything dangerous should happenB. The menu at Howard Johnson's gave a clear introduction of the food it served.C. The photographs attached to the main items on the menu helped conceal his illiteracyD. He would feel at ease because eaters at Howard Johnson's were all adult non-readersTask 3(3 points each, 15 points in all)Directions: This task is the same as Task l (No.56 through No. 60).After practicing as a surgeon for several years, Dr. Giroux decided to apply for membership in the American College of Surgeons（美国外科医生学会），a highly selective and distinguished （著名的) professional organization.As part of the application procedure(手续) ,Dr. Ginoux was asked to prepare a list of all the operations performed in the previous seven years. Slowly, as she worked on the long list, she began to feel uncertain. She began to question some of her decisions. Had she used the best technique in that case? Maybe, in this case, she should have given one more test before operating? On the other hand, maybe she should have...Would the doctors on the selection committee understand that, as the only trained surgeon in the area, she usually could not get advice from others and therefore, had to rely completely on her own judgment? For the first time, Dr. Cinoux felt lonely and isolated.The longer Dr. Ginoux worked on the application forms,the more depressed she became. As hope faded, she wondered if a "country doctor" had a realistic chance of being accepted by the American College of Surgeons.56. Dr. Ginoux was working in .A. a large cityB. the American College of SurgeonsC. an area far from any big cityD. a selective organization57. It was most probable that Dr. Ginoux wasA. a member in that organizationB. a well-trained surgeonC. a graduate from American College of SurgeonsD. a distinguished surgeon in America58. When she was filling the application forms, Dr. Ginoux began to be .A. realisticB. depressedC. puzzledD. decisive59. The applic4tion forms must include .A. the decision procedureB. the college achievementsC. the best techniqueD. a list of advice and judgments60. When filling the forms, Dr. Ginoux felt uncertain because .A. she didn't perform enough operationsB. some operations were unsuccessfulC. she didn't get advice from the selection committeeD. she was doubtful about her previous operationsTask 4(3 points each, 15 points in all)Directions:This task is the same as Task l (No. 61 through No. 65).Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people is, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depend on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, t0 4 university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in their intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part.

Thousands of years ago, people caught fish in nets and traps. They also fashioned hooks from bones and stones. Taking fish with nets for food is called commercial fishing. Fishing with a hook and line for fun is called sport fishing.Perhaps the greatest appeal in fishing for fun is the opportunities it offers to get outdoors, to enjoy the company of friends and to use new and various skills to catch the fish.In fishing,a set of ethic exists based on consideration for others. One job is to take no more fish than one needs. Some of the best fishers catch fish for the spirit of it and then release them unharmed for some else to catch. The sport methods a person uses in catching fish and the consideration shown for others while fishing are the marks distinguishing a true fisher. 26.

Of course, the younger generation's love of traditional culture does not happen randomly, but it is a natural result of their hope to live a cultural life. Young people are also attracted by the intrinsic and unique charm of countless traditional culturaltreasures waiting to be discovered.Social media platforms have became vital for museums to promote themselves. Douyin's 2023 Museum Date Report states that the total number of views of museum-related videos on the platform last year reached about 51.3 billion,66 times the annual number of museum visitors nationwide , which in turn brings life to traditional Chinese culture again.Previously, young people paid little attention to traditional Chineseculture, but now it's different, There are many media reports that inheritors of traditional cultural treasures now talk widely about their work on different media platforms, which has indirectly encouraged more young people to learn about and carry on the treasures.31. What does the word "subject’, in the third line of the passage refer to?A. New media technologiesB. Unprecedented waysC.Traditional Chinese cultureD.Young people32. The underlined word“charm"in the first paragraph probably means__A. attractionB. confidenceC.loveD.treasurePassage 3关于巨石阵，暂无,更新及答案关“学硕学堂”Passage 4Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put out water supply in danger but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving(铺砌)a road can lead to less usable fresh water. A major Part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers, it come from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages(短缺).Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱)than areas with more rainfall but in any case goodmanagement can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference ,too .In the United States. A family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live but there's a lot we can do to lower the number.You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher(洗碗机) only when it is full . Help your parents fix any leaks in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.41.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. Why throwing rubbish can put our water supply in dangerB. How we affect our water supplyC. How building roads leads to water shortageD. Why water comes from underground42.Which of the following can help tackle water shortage according to the second paragraph?A. Changing our water needsB. Preventing droughtsC. More rainfallD. Good management43.The underlined word “dripping” in the last paragraph probably means___.A. supplying clean waterB. producing small drops of waterC. containing large amounts of waterD. moving on the surface of water44.What is the topic of the last paragraph?A. How to conserve water at homeB.How to repair leaking tapsC. How to wash drinking glassesD. How to keep our water supply clean45.What does the author advise us to do to help keep our water supply clean?A. run dishwashersB. supply drinking waterC. recycle batteriesD. measure the amount of the wasted waterPart IV Translation(30 points)(I) Translate the following sentences from English into Chinese(5 points each for No.46 through No.48;15 points in all).46.

However,in primitive societies a system of barter was used.Barter was a system of direct exchange of good.Somebody could exchange a sheep,for example,for anything in the market place that he or she considered to be of equal value.Barter,however,was a very unsatisfactory system of exchange,and various money systems developed based on goods that the members of a society recognized as having value.Cattle,grain,teeth,shells,salt,and tobacco had all been used. Precious metals gradually took over because,when made into coins,they were portable,durable, recognizable,and divisible into larger and smaller units of value.A coin is a piece of metal,usually disc-shaped,which bears lettering,designs or numbers showing its value.Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries,coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them,but most modern coins are based on face value—the value that the governments choose to give them,which doesn’t show the actual metal content.Coins have been made of gold,silver,copper,plastic and in China even from tealeaves. Most governments now issue paper money in the form of bills,which are really“promises to pay”. Paper money is obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern world. Checks and credit cards are being used increasingly,and it is possible to imagine a world where “money”in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be used.Even today,in the United States,many places,especially filling stations will not accept cash at night for security reasons.56.“Barter”(Line2,Paragraph l)here means.A.exchanging goods for moneyB.exchanging goods for goodsC.exchanging a sheep for anything in the marketD.exchanging money for goods57.Why were precious metals gradually used for making coins?A.Because they were durable and portable.B.Because they were recognizable.C.Because they were divisible.D.All of the above.58.Coins were given value according to the exact amount of metals contained in them.A.before the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesB.after the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesC.during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesD.between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries59.“Promises to pay”(Line6,Paragraph2)means.A.possibilities to payB.necessities to payC.obligations to payD.opportunities to pay60.A world without any money in the form of coins and paper is.A.suitableB.possibleC.necessaryD.avoidableTask4(3points each;15points in all)Directions:This task is the same as Task l(No.61through No.65).In most lectures,several main ideas are presented.These are the concepts（思想）the lecturer wants the students to remember.Often the lecturer has a general idea that serves as an“umbrella”covering the other main concepts.The students'job,then,is to pick out the main concepts, including the“umbrella”idea.Lecturers usually begin with an introduction.Sometimes the main concepts and the “umbrella”idea are briefly presented in the introduction;often they are not.Next comes the body of the lecture.It is here that the several main concepts are always presented.The final part of a lecture,the conclusion,is traditionally a summary of the main concepts.This is alsothe place where the“umbrella”idea can most easily be repeated,restated,or even introduced for the first time.When a lecture is well organized,with a clear-cut beginning,middle and end,the main ideas are usually easy to pick out.When a lecture is not well organized,getting the gist of what is being said is quite difficult.Some lecturers are“long-winded”,taking a long time to come to the point.Others ramble on(杂乱地漫谈)and never seem to come to the point at all.61.While listening to a lecture,the students are expected to remember.62.A lecture is usually made up of three parts-,and according to this passage.63.Sometimes,both and of a lecture are put forward in the introduction. 64．A lecture with a neatly-planned,and is said to be a well organized lecture.65.The summary is in_of a lecture and it is also the place where the is mostly mentioned again.Ⅳ.Translation(35points)Section ADirections:Translate the following sentences from English into Chinese(4points each for No.66through No.68;6points for No.69;18points in all.)66.There is no general agreement about what can and should be done to solve the problem of pollution.67.Such networks as have been designed specially to enable people to send message to each other by computers are known as E-mail.68.Of all living things,only human beings can choose.where and how they want to live and then modify the physical environment to help them realize these choices.69.Some people believe that it is necessary for the government to take an active role in population planning because many people will not limit themselves to just one or two children.Section BDirections:Translate the following sentences from Chinese into English(4points each for No.70through No.72;5points for No.73;17points in all.)70.他认为退休以后就能集中精⼒力力⼲干他喜欢的事了了。
