二、1.For over a hundred years Japan has consistently spent large sums of money and
considerable human resources in an effort to obtain technology.Her ability to
negotiate 1 by the fact that most of the technology she wanted was no commercial
secrets.Japan’s 2 has also been strengthened by the fact that her internal market
was large,so that 3 to this market could be offered to multinational companies as an
attraction to them to grant licenses.Besides,Japan’s work force was disciplined,so
it was capable 4 applying the information it acquired.Finally,American and European
companies,who were 5 licensers,felt that the Japanese companies might take a large
share of the world market 6 they were not limited by licensing agreement.
Conditions of this sort, 7 together in one nation,may well be unique,and the case of
Japan may therefore not actually demonstrate that licensing is just as efficient as
multinational ownership for the 8 of technology.In fact,Japan may be finding this
method of operation 9 effective than in the past,as her needs for outside technology
now require information which 10 only a few companies and is more closely held.

三、从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题纸上将相应的字母涂黑。
1.It is difficult to estimate the number of youngsters involved in home
schooling，where children are not sent to school and receive their formal education
from one or both parents.Legislation and court decisions have made it legally
possible in most states for parents to educate their children at home，and each year
more people take advantage of that opportunity.
Supporters of home education claim that it is less expensive and far more efficient
than mass public education. Moreover they quote several merits：relief of school
overcrowding，added curricular and pedagogical(课程和教学法)
alternatives，strengthened family relationships，lower dropout rates，increased
motivation，higher standardized test scores，and reduced discipline
problems.Supporters of home schooling also believe that it provides the parents with
the opportunity to reinforce their moral values through education.
Critics of home schooling movement claim that it creates as many problems as it
solves.They acknowledge that，in a few cases，home schooling offers educational
opportunities superior to those found in most public schools，but few parents can
provide such educational advantages.Some parents who withdraw their children from
the schools in favor of home schooling have an inadequate educational background and
insufficient formal training to provide a satisfactory education for their
children.Typically，parents have fewer,not more，technological resources available
than do schools.However，the relatively inexpensive computer technology that is
readily available today is causing some to challenge the notion that home schooling
is in any way not so good as more highly structured classroom education.
Finally,a sociological(社会学的)concern is the restricted social interaction
experienced by children who are educated at home.Technology will never replace the
pupilteacher relationship.Also，while relationships with parents and brothers and
sisters may be improved，children taught at home may develop a distorted(歪曲的)view
of society.
(1).The main idea of the passage is that _______.答案：C
(A). more and more parents are in favor of home schooling
(B). home schooling is superior to school education because it has been legally approved
C). though home schooling has its advantages，it creates as many new problems at the same time
(D). school education is no doubt better than home education
(2).Those who support home schooling think that _______.答案：A
(A).it’s less expensive and more efficient apart from other merits
(B).it has added curricular and pedagogical alternatives
(C).it will cause fewer discipline problems
(D).it’s more important to reinforce moral Values
(3)..Critics believe that _______.答案：B
(A).few parents can afford computers and technology when providing home education
(B).few parents are qualified enough to provide a satisfactory home education
(C).school teachers are better than parents
(D).classroom environment can provide most satisfactory education
(4).According to the author，home schooling cannot help children _______.答案：D
(A). acquire social knowledge(B). build up a relationship with family members
(C). build up pupilteacher relationship(D). develop a right view of society
(5).The attitude of the author toward home schooling is _______.答案：D
(A).vague (B).positive (C).totally negative (D).straightforward
2.For Americans，time is a“resource”that，like water or coal，can be used well
or poorly.“Time is money,”they say.“You only get so much time in this
life；you’d best use it wisely.”The future will not be better than the past or the
present unless people use their time for constructive，futureoriented
activities.Thus，Americans admire a“wellorganized”person，one who has a written
list of things to do and a schedule for doing them. The ideal person is punctual and treasures other people’s time.
The American attitude towards time is not necessarily shared by others，especially nonEuropeans.They are more likely to consider time as something that is simply there
around them，not something they can“use”.One of the more difficult things many
foreign businessmen and students must adjust to in the States is the notion that
time must be saved whenever possible and used wisely every day.
In their efforts to use their time wisely, Americans are sometimes seen by foreign
visitors as automatons, unhuman creatures who are so tied to their clocks and their
schedules that they cannot participate in or enjoy the human interactions that are
the truly important things in life.“They are like little machines running
around，”one foreign visitor said.
The emphasis Americans place on efficiency is closely related to their concepts of
the future，change and time.To do something efficiently is to do it in the way that
is quickest and requires the smallest investment of resources. American businesses sometimes hire“efficiency experts”to review their operations and suggest ways in
which they could accomplish more than they are currently accomplishing with the
resources they are investing. Popular periodicals carry suggestions for more
efficient ways to clean house，raise children，tend the yard，and so on.
In this context the“fastfood industry”can be seen as a clear example of an
American cultural product. McDonald’s，Kentucky Fried Chicken，Pizza Hut，and other fastfood establishments prosper in a country where many people want to minimize the
amount of time they spend preparing and eating meals.The millions of Americans who
take their meals at fastfood restaurants cannot have much interest in lingering over
their food while conversing with friends，as millions of Europeans do.As McDonald’s
restaurants have spread around the world，they have been viewed as symbols of
American society and culture，bringing not just hamburgers but an emphasis on
speed，efficiency,and shiny cleanliness.The typical American food，some observers
argue，is fast food.
(1).If a person treasures other people’s time，he _______.答案：A
(A).does not waste people’s time with conversation or activity that has no beneficial outcome
(B).does not believe the future will be any better than the present or the past
(C).likes to keep a written schedule of the daily activities with him
(D).likes to have his meals at the fastfood restaurants to save time
(2).In the eyes of the foreign visitors in the States，American people _______.答案：D
(A).think that time is always there which needs budgeting
(B).enjoy saving and using time wisely everyday
(C).are indifferent in that they are like feelingless machines
(D). are so fully engaged that they are unable to enjoy the important things in life
(3).What is the job of an efficiency expert?答案：B
(A)..Writing articles for periodicals.(B). Recommending ways of efficient investment.
(C).Examining the quality of a company’s products.(D). Teaching people how to take care of their yard.
(4).Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?答案：C
(A).Many Americans love having meals at fastfood restaurants.
(B).Americans are busier than other people in the world.
(C). The American fastfood industry helps spread the American culture around the world.
(D).The United States is the fat her of the world’s fastfood industry.
(5).The best title for this passage is _______.答案：A
(A). The American Concept of Time(B). The Development of the American Fast Food Industry
(C). How to Raise Efficiency (D). The American Food and CulturePassage Three
3.One day,the principal came into our room and, after talking to the teacher,for
some reason said:“I wish all of the white scholars to stand for a moment.”I rose
with the others.The teacher looked at me and, calling my name,said:“You sit down
for the present,and rise with the others.”I did not quite understand her.She
repeated:“You sit down now,and rise with the others.”I sat down puzzled and dumb.I
saw and heard nothing.When the others were asked to rise,I did not know it. When
school was dismissed,I went out unconsciously. A few of the white boys laughed at
me,saying:“Oh,you’re a nigger,too.”
I hurried on as fast as I could to where my lookingglass hung on the wall in my own
little room.For an instant I was afraid to look,but when I did,I looked long and
earnestly.I was accustomed to hearing remarks about my beauty;but now, for the first
time,I became conscious of it and recognized it.I noticed the ivory(象牙）whiteness
of my skin,the beauty of my mouth,the size and liquid darkness of my eyes. I ran
downstairs and rushed to where my mother was sitting.I buried my head in her lap and
cried out:“Mother,tell me,am I a nigger?”I could not see her face,but I felt her
hands on my head.I looked up into her face.There were tears in her eyes and I could
see that she was suffering for me.And then it was that I looked at her critically
for the first time.I had thought of her in a childish way only as the most beautiful
woman in the world;now I looked at her searching for defects.I could see that her
skin was almost brown,and that she did differ in some way from the other ladies who
came to the house;yet,even so,I could see that she was more beautiful than any of
them.She must have felt that I was examining her,for she hid her face in my hair and
said with difficulty:“No,my darling,you are not a nigger.”She went on:“If anyone
calls you a nigger,don’t notice them.”But the more she talked,the less was I
reassured,and I stopped her by asking:“Well, mother,am I white?Are you white?”She
answered tremblingly:“No, I am not white,but your father is one of the greatest men
in the country.The best blood of the South i s in you.”This suddenly opened up in my
heart a fresh fear,and I almost fiercely demanded:“Who is my father?Where is
he?”She stroked my hair and said:“I’ll tell you about him some day.”I sobbed:“I
want to know now.”She answered:“No, not now.”
(1).We can i nfer from the passage that“a nigger”means _______.答案：B
(A). a white person (B). a black person (C). anyone that is not white (D). anyone that is not black
(2).When the teacher asked him to sit down and rise with the others,the author
was confused because _______.答案：A
(A). he never considered himself a nonwhite person(B).he thought the teacher didn’t recognize him (C). he thought he should be considered a scholar(D). he thought it rude for the teacher to call his name
(3).It was on that day that he began to realize that _______.答案：D
(A). he was a nigger(B). he was different from others because of his beauty
(C). his color was like that of his mother(D). he differed from other white people even with his beauty
(4).From the passage we can learn that _______.答案：C
(A).the boy’s father left them for s ome reasons(B).the boy’s mother didn’t want to mention his father at all (C). the boy never met his father before (D).the boy’s mother hated his father
(5)..This passage generally tells us a story of _______.答案：A
(A). a boy who suddenly realized that he was a colored person (B). a boy who had been looked down upon because he had no father (C). the miserable life of colored people(D). the life of a oneparent family

五、Translation from English into Chinese(15 points)将下列短文译成汉语并将答案写在答题纸上。
1.Planning is a very important activity in our lives.It can give pleasure and
even excitement，but cause quite severe headaches.The more significant the task
ahead，the more careful the planning required.Getting to school or to work on time
i s a task requiring little or no planning.It is almost a routine.A month’s touring
holiday abroad，or better still,getting married，is a different matter altogether.If
the holiday involves a church wedding，with 50 guests，a reception，a honeymoon in
Italy,and returning to a new home，this requires even more planning to make sure
that is successful.Planning is our way of trying to ensure success and of avoiding
costly failures we cannot afford.It is equally essential to mankind as a whole，to
nations，to families and to each individual；the scale may vary，but the degree of
importance does not.
答案：使人愉快，甚至令人兴奋，但也会让人十分头疼。工作越重要，所需的计划就要越仔细。
按时上班或上学是几乎或根本不需要计划的工作，它只不过是日常事务。而长达一个月的国外旅
游度假，或更甚之，结婚娶亲，就完全是两码事了。如果假期中还要举行教堂婚礼，接待50位来
宾，举办招待会，去意大利度蜜月，再回到新家，那就更需要计划周全，以确保成功。计划使我
们能够保证成功，避免那些代价昂贵，而我们又难以承受的失败。对于整个人类、民族、家庭乃
至个人来说，计划同样是必不可少的。其规模可大可小，但重要性都一样

三、从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题纸上将相应的字母涂黑。
1.It happened again the other night. We’re watching t he weather report on
television. A genericlooking(相貌平平)man in a genericlooking suit slides back and
forth before a map of the region, telling us we have nothing to worry about.Only a
slight chance of an isolated thunderstorm after midnight.It ’s 6∶30 p.m. He
smiles, tells us to have a great evening and fades away to sports. Less than an hour
later, it’s pouring.And I mean pouring.Sheetsofraindownthewindowpanes pouring.It
remains one of life’s little mysteries to me how such wellintentioned and
welltrained people using such hightech equipment can be so wrong, and so often.
I’ve often said that if I made that many mistakes in front of so many people. I’d
have been out of job 35 years ago.I grew up on the windswept(受大风侵袭的)plains of
western New York State. When the man on the Buffalo station said it was going to
snow,it snowed. It never failed. This was October,usually around Halloween(万圣节
).He then predicted snow for the next six months,and he was never
wrong.November.December.January.February.March.April.Snow.Even as a kid,I figured
out this wasn’t rocket science. But at least he was always accurate. He had no
equipment,no red or blue or green spots floating across his map.In fact, I’m not
sure I remember a map. In those days,we all knew where we were. No map was
required.He got most of his forecast tips, I suspect, from his bones and how they
felt.
I have my simple theories why weather reporting is so inaccurate.Weather reporters
rarely go outside. Nor can they see outside.Most of them work in windowless
buildings.
(1).The sentence“It happened again the other night”implies that _______.答案：C
(A).weather reporters are often fired because they are inaccurate
(B).it rains much too often at night in that area of the country
(C).inaccuracies in television weather reports are frequent
(D).the author often watches the weather report on television
(2).The phrase“fades away to sports”(Para.1)means _______.答案：C
(A). he goes on to talk about sports programs(B). he goes away to play sports after work
(C). sports programs begin when he disappears(D). sports have to be cancelled because of rain
(3).It began to rain _______.答案：B
(A).t 6∶30 p.m.(B).before 7∶30 p.m.(C).after 7∶30 p.m.(D).b y midnight
(4).What the author intends to say is that weather reports are inaccurate
because weather reporters _______. 答案：D
(A). are not wellequipped as expected (B). are not always responsible enough
(C). go unpunished for their mistakes (D). do not conduct enough fieldwork
(5).According to the author,the man on the Buffalo station was accurate in
predicting weather because _______.答案：B
(A). his pay depended on the tips he got from weather reports
(B). what he felt in his bones helped to foresee the weather
(C). it was the knowledge he gained from his ancestors
(D). he could see snow coming from the windswept plains
2.Man’s mind is his tool of survival.The mind is used to gain,use,store,and
recall knowledge. It is his mind that enables a farmer to know what to plant, when
to harvest it,how to prepare food from the result. It is his mind that enables a
hunter to know what he needs to make a spear, how to make it, and how to use it. And
it is his mind that enables a blacksmith to know how to make iron tools. In short,
it is the mind that enables a person to know what to do in order to survive.
Man’s mind allows longrange planning and thinking. It enables such longrange
planning as required for farming,hunting, and tool making. These efforts require the
ability to form concepts of longterm cause and effect chains.“I need to m ake a
spear tonight so I can hunt tomorrow and have food for the next 7 days.”These may
be environments where people could survive for a while without longrange planning,
but without the results of knowledge like spears, fire,and other technologies, peope
would get outbred by other animals and die out.
Man’s mind is his tool for survival, but like all tools,it must be properly used.
The mind makes good use of knowledge, and knowledge can only be obtained through
reason. Without reason, there is no knowledge, and thus no survival.
You must recognize reality and act in accordance with it in order to be
successful.To the extent that you use reason as your method of judgment in knowledge
and action,you will survive and flourish.If you ignore or escape from reality, you
will suffer and die.
It is very important to note that survival by reason requires the freedom to act
according to your reason.That is why people do not develop well in the control of
others, and can not survive when they are subject to force that destroys their
ability to act on reason.
(1).It is his mind that enables a farmer to know how to _______.答案：D
(A). make spears (B). hunt for animals (C).make iron tools (D). cultivate crops
(2).The first two paragraphs show that man’s mind _______.答案：A
(A). is his basic means of survival (B). enables him to act at will
(C). is used to protect themselves (D). helps him look into reality
(3).In order to survive, man should _______.答案：B
(A). be conquered by other animals (B). make a longrange plan for the future
(C). learn to recall knowledge (D).learn to think reasonably
(4). Without the results of knowledge like spears,fire,and other technologies,people _______.答案：D
(A).could only survive for 7 days (B).would kill off all the animals
(C).would be controlled by others (D).would disappear from the earth
(5).It is reasonable that if people want to survive,they should _______.答案：C
(A). develop well in the control of others(B). ignore or escape from reality
(C). have freedom to act on reason(D). be subject to certain environments
3.Many language learners fail to realize that when they listen to their native
language they do not actually hear every word. They also fail to understand that
they integrate their knowledge about language with their existing experience and
knowledge of such things as topic and culture, and do not need to hear every word.
This means that learners often have unrealistic expectations and try to understand
each word of a listening text. As some experts point out,“such total
comprehension...is a misconception of how normal comprehension works in the native
langua ge.”Learners’ anxiety may get worse when a classroom procedure does not
provide adequate context for the text or prepare the topic by activating their
prior knowledge;in other words, a procedure which asks students to “Listen to the
text and then answer t he questions.”This tests listening ability rather than aiming
to teach it. Adults returning to English language learning whose earlier experiences
have been of this nature may well have developed negative perceptions of their
ability as listeners and a major task for the teacher will be to build confidence.
This means recognizing anxiety and taking care to provide positive classroom
experiences. For examlpe, the teacher needs to make sure that the pace and length of
a listening activity is not too taxing as the concentration required in trying to
comprehend unfamiliar sounds can be tiring.
(1)..When they comprehend their native language by listening,many language learners tend to think that they _______.答案：A (A). need to hear every word (B). have linguistic knowledge
(C). know the culture very well (D).have some existing experience
(2). According to the passage,foreign language learning depends very much upon_______.答案：C
(A). native language competence (B). ability to concentrate (C). experience and knowledge
(D). personal preference
(3).This passage is mainly about_______.答案：D
(A).writing (B).speaking (C).reading (D).listening
(4).The language teacher should _______.答案：B
(A).develop negative perceptions of students’ ability
(B).activate the prior knowledge students have
(C).refer to the past experience of adult learners
(D).help students understand their native language first
(5).The word“taxing”in the last senten ce probably means _______.答案：B
(A).costly (B).demanding (C).anxious (D).interesting

五、Translation from English into Chinese(15 points)将下列短文译成汉语并将答案写在答题纸上。
1.It is generally known that our daily life is divided into two phases:work and
recreation.However, few people know the distinction between active play and passive
entertainment.We have to participate in and practice it if we would enjoy an active
play.We have to paint rather than look at paintings,to play instruments rather than
go to concerts,to dance and sing and act ourselves,engaging all our senses in fun
and rules of the active play. Then something may begin to happen to us:to work upon
our bodies and our souls.

娱乐和消极的消遣的区别。如果我们要想享受积极娱乐的话，我们就必须自己参与并实践。我们
必须自己绘画，而不是去看画；自己演奏乐器，而不是去听音乐会；自己唱歌，跳舞和演出，从
而使我们所有的感觉受到积极娱乐的乐趣和规则的约束。这样，我们的身心就开始发生变化。

1.However careful one may be, he cannot possibly listen carefully to everything
that he hears. There are 1 of reasons for this. One of them is the overload of
messages most of us 2 each day. In addition to the numerous hours we 3 hearing other
people speak, we may spend several hours listening to the radio or sitting in front
of a television set. 4, it is impossible to focus our attention completely on what
is said; our mind might be 5 elsewhere. Preoccupation with our personal concerns is
6 reason we don’t always listen carefully. A romance
7 sour or a good grade on a
test may take prominence in our mind even as 8 is speaking to us. Furthermore, we
are surrounded by all kinds of noises which interfere 9 listening. For example,
voices at a party or 10 of traffic may simply make it difficult for us to catch
everything that is being said.

三、从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题纸上将相应的字母涂黑。
1.The long summer holidays are finally over and some parents are pleased. “we
worry more about their safety in the holidays,” explains one mother from North
London. If teenagers are not wandering around on public transport in a big and
potentially dangerous city, they are chatting to strangers in an internet chat room!
Well, that’s an extreme picture of the UK tod ay, but many parents are worried about
how much freedom they can give their children during the holidays and at weekends.
Weekends are not the only time to worry! Newspapers are full of stories about too
many school kids going to school by car because their parents do not want them to
travel alone on a bus or train. This summer there were more frightening stories of
teenagers disappearing with questionable friends that they met on the net. All the
Media stories help increase parents fears, but is the UK really so dangerous?
Many young people feel that life for their parents was easier. In the 1960s young
people played in the streets more and traveled around town without their parents.
“At least our parents can keep tabs on us,” says 16yearold Julia.“So many people
have mobile phones now and their parents ring to find out where they are. I use my
mobile to get Dad to come to the station when I arrive late.” Mobiles are not just
expensive toys; they help keep young people safe. Most significantly, they make
parents feel better. Only one problem is, though, that some young people have been
attacked by thieves who want to steal their mobile phones.
Young people like going out with friends, but they now need to learn how to get home
safely. Five million young people in the UK between the ages of 9 to 16 use chat
rooms to make friends, but they, too, need to be careful and never give their
personal details to a stranger. Young people today have more opportunities to meet
new people and go out at night more than their parents ever did. Now schools,
television programs and newspapers must help teenagers to enjoy their freedom and to
be responsible for their own safety.
(1). Some parents are upset about the summer holidays mainly because their children _______.答案：D
(A). wander around on bus in the city(B). chat to strangers in Internet chat rooms
(C). make questionable friends on the net(D). are taken little care of by teachers
(2).For the sake of the safety, many parents send their kids to school _______.
(A).by car (B).by bus (C).by train (D).by public transport 答案：A
(3).Most significantly, mobile phones _______. 答案：C
(A).enable parents keep a close watch on their kids (B).help keep teenagers safe
(C).make parents feel less worried (D).protect teenagers from being attacked
(4).Teenagers should never give any strangers _______.答案：C
(A). their mobile phone numbers (B).their family address
(C).their personal information (D).their parents’names
(5).This passage is mainly about _______.答案：B
(A). freedom for teenagers in summer holidays (B). safety for teenagers in summer holidays
(C). activities for teenagers in summer holidays (D).troubles for teenagers in summer
holidays
2.The threat of a global outbreak (疾病大爆发) of bird flu makes it urgent for
the international community to cooperate effectively. Wealthy countries will have to
provide hundreds of millions of dollars for the testing and production of medicines
necessary for treating patients suffering from bird flu. Developing countries,
particularly in Southeast Asia, where the bird flu virus (病毒) has spread since
1997, must work out special programs so that farmers will not hide signs of possible
outbreaks. In addition, the way such farm birds as chickens and ducks are
traditionally raised and marketed in the developing world should be changed; there
should be more distance between the birds and their keepers. Countries should deal
with the disease with joint effort. If one country is inadequately prepared, it will
be a threat to every other country.
The potential effects of a national outbreak of bird flu are enormous. Firstly, an
outbreak may kill large numbers of people. World Health Organization (WHO) estimates
that an outbreak similar to the mild Hong Kong flu of 1968 could kill as many as 7.4
million people. If it were as dangerous as the 1918 Spanish flu, which killed 50
million, the number would be much higher. Secondly, such an outbreak may cause great
financial damage. The latest outbreak of bird flu, which began in December 2003, has
cost Southeast Asia more than ＄10 billion and depressed its GDP by 1.5 percent. If
a new outbreak of bird flu were to last for a whole year, ＄800 billion would be
lost.
Despite the 124 human cases and 63 deaths from bird flu since December 2003, the
virus remains mainly a disease of animals. However, the more animals that die of the
disease, the more chances it has of spreading to people. Large numbers of dead or
dying birds mean that more people will be exposed to the virus, which could in
theory combine with a human flu virus and change into a virus with new
characteristics. If the international community works together efficiently, man can
surely prevent such a virus and possibly save millions of lives.
(1). Faced with the threat of a global outbreak of bird flu, the international community should
_______.
(A)..establish new markets (B).work together effectively
(C)..stop birds from flying to other countries (D). raise fewer chickens and ducks 答案：B
(2).The second paragraph focuses on _______.答案：D
(A).World Health Organization (B).flus in Hong Kong and Spain
(C).the economy of Southeast Asia (D).possible effects of a bird flu outbreak
(3).The number of people who have died of bird flu since 2003 is _______.
(A).63 (B).124 (C).7.4 million (D).50 million 答案：A
(4).In the third paragraph, the author is mainly interested in _______.
(A).stimulating financial growth B).reducing economic damages
(C).saving human lives (D).protecting bird species 答案：C
(5).The passage deals with all the following aspects about bird flu EXCEPT_______.答案：A
(A). the origin and history of bird flu(B). the importance of international cooperation
(C). the possible dangers of a national outbreak(D)..the significance of preventing it from spreading
3.Many of today’s most trusted sales techniques were invented over a century ago
by a young merchant named Eaton in Toronto. When he was young, Eaton worked briefly
with his brothers in smalltown stores. In 1869, he set up his own shop in downtown
Toronto. He had many competitors, but he was also ambitious and had a plan for
success. He offered a unique style of trade, but as was expected, all the other
shopkeepers laughed at him, believing he would eventually fail. However, Eaton was
not a man to be easily defeated; he came up with a brand new notion of
business—“Goods satisfactory, or money refunded.” He sold all his goods at fixed
prices and only for cash.
With a sharp sense of what the public wanted, he went out of whe way to meet their
needs. His business grew rapidly. He set up new branches and started mail order
service that allowed people to buy from a list of his goods.
Eaton’s List—advertisements of his day—was the first of its kind. It was
distributed and read all over the country. It was the only way to access goodquality
goods at reasonable prices for people living far away from big cities. It became
part of their life. They even called it The Wishing Book. The secret of the list’s
success was that Eaton gained the respect of his customers; they trusted him for
good prices and quality goods. Probably because he remembered his miserable early
days in Ireland, Eaton thought much of the welfare of his employees: better working
conditions, shorter weekday hours than his competitors and Saturday afternoons off
in the summer. In all this, he was a leader.
21.The best description of Eaton is that .
A.he was the richest merchant in Toronto
B.he was a successful technical inventor
C.he introduced new sales practices
D.he changed people’s ideas abo ut businessmen
(1).Eaton’s success lay primarily in that _______.答案：D
(A)..he sold only good quality goods (B). he was the first person to provide good service
(C). he treated his employees better than any of his competitors(D). he won respect from his customers
(2).From the passage we can infer that _______.答案：C
A). Eaton invented the idea of the internet shopping(B). Eaton drove other businessmen to failure
(C). Eaton never sold his goods on credit(D). Eaton was defeated by his rivals
(3).The best title for this passage is _______.答案：B
(A). Good Goods, or Money Refunded (B). Eaton, a Sales Inventor
(C).Customers’ Respect, a Secret of Success(D).Eaton’s List, a Welcome Event in Sales History
(4).Eaton’s List was important to people on farms because it was a convenient way of getting
_______.答案：A (A). goodquality goods at reasonable prices(B). goods at unreasonable prices
(C). goodquality goods at unreasonable prices(D). poorquality goods at reasonable prices

五、Translation from English into Chinese(15 points)将下列短文译成汉语并将答案写在答题纸上。
1.There is a clear distinction between one who is supposed to know and another,
usually a younger person who is supposed not to know. However, teaching is not
necessarily the area of a special group of people, nor should it be looked upon as a
technical skill. Teaching can be more like guiding and assisting than forcing
information into a blank mind. If you have a certain skill, you should be able to
share it with others. You do not have to get a certificate to convey what you know
to them or to help them in their attempt to teach themselves. All of us, from the
very youngest children to the oldest members of our society, should come to realize
our own talent and abilities as teachers. We can share what we know, however little
it might be, with others who have need of that knowledge or skill.
答案：一般认为，有知识的人与没有知识的人——他们通常是较年轻的人——之间的区别非常明
显。然而，教学不一定是某个特殊群体的领域，也不应该被看作是一项专业技能。教学不止是将
信息硬塞进空白的头脑，而更应是指导和帮助。只要你有某种特定的技能，你就应当能与他人分
享。你没必要持有证书才能把你的知识传授给他人，或为他们的自学提供帮助。我们社会中的每
一个成员，从蹒跚学步的孩童到耄耋之年的老者，都应当意识到自己作为教师的才能。尽管我们
可能知之甚少，但仍应能与那些需要我们的人来分享我们的知识和技能。

三、从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题纸上将相应的字母涂黑。
1.America’s election day is 7 November.On that day ci tizens who wish to will
cast their ballots(选票)for the presidential candidate they prefer．The result of
this process is called the popular vote.However,not one of the votes cast on
election day actually goes directly to a particular candidate.Why?It has to do with the electoral college.
The electoral college was created in response to a problem encountered during the
Constitutional Convention of 1787，where delegates(代表)were trying to determine the best way to choose the president．If Congress were to elect the president，he would be too easily controlled by the legislature．If all the citizens were to vote
directly for the president，there might be too many local candidates and none
representing a wide body of opinion；or it might be difficult to count the votes
cast over a vast country.
The framers of the Constitution(宪法制定者)intended that the electors，chosen for
their wisdom，should come together and choose on behalf of the people．In fact,the swift rise of political parties guaranteed that the electoral system never worked as the framers had intended；instead，national parties quickly came to dominate the
election campaigns．The electors became mere figureheads representing the state
branches of the parties who got them chosen，and their votes were predetermined and predictable．But anyhow,America has retained the electoral college to choose its
president and vicepresident.
There is some variation among states in how electors are appointed，yet generally
they are chosen by the popular vote．Each political party in a state chooses a list of local worthies to be members of the electoral college if the party’s
presidential candidate wins in the popular vote in the state．Members of the
electoral college have the moral obligation to vote for the candidate who won the
popular vote in their state.This moral duty,plus the fact that electors are members
of the same political party as the presidential candidate，ensures that the outcome
in the electoral college is a valid reflection of the popular vote in 7 November.
(1).The term ‘the electoral college’ in the passage means _______.答案：A
(A). a body of persons voting out the president(B). a body of persons voting out the voters
(C). a body of scholars for study on presidential election(D). a body of persons counting the votes over a vast country
(2).The framers of the Constitution intended that the electors should _______.答案：B
(A). be chosen among ordinary people(B). choose the president on behalf of the people
(C). choose the president on behalf of the political parties(D). be chosen among famous persons from each political parties
(3).In the third paragraph，the word “figureheads” means _______.答案：B
(A). political figures (B). nominal electors(C). constitutional leaders (D). state representatives
(4). Members of the electoral college are supposed to _______.答案：D
(A).cast their ballots for the candidate they like
(B).carry out the presidential election on 7 November
(C).attend the Constitutional Convention on 7 November
(D). vote for the candidate winning the popular vote in the state
(5).. The tone of the author is _______.
(A). positive (B). negative (C). subjective (D). objective 答案：D
2.Danger is waiting for you every time you step out of your front door.The hidden
danger,however,is not a robber,but merely the sidewalk beneath your feet.Although a
short walk down the road may not normally be considered a dangerous activity,a
recent government study suggests otherwise.
Pedestrian’s(行人的)danger tripping up on uneven or damaged sidewalks occurs twice
every 100 meters，causing injuries which can match those suffered in a car crash.At
least 600，000 trips on sidewalks require medical treatment across the country every
year，according to the Pedestrians Association；the government says the figure for
serious injuries is a small part of that，though．
Although the elderly and disabled are the most likely victims of uneven
sidewalks，it has caused injuries among thousands of pedestrians of all
ages，according to one analyst of the Pedestrians Association’s London
Office．“Such a fall ca n sometimes mean a lifechanging injury for older
people，which leaves them wheelchairbound or having to walk with a stick,”he
said．“A fall can also make people lose confidence，forcing them to stay indoors.”
According to Pedestrians Association director Ben Mark，the hidden dangers of
walking along a sidewalk are not clear by a lack of comprehensive data，concerning
the true extent of the problem．He said，“Victims of sidewalk falls are invisible
casualties(受伤人员)as far as the National Road Casualty Statistics are
concerned—it only counts if you’ve been hit by a car or a lorry on the road．It’s
really bad that we don’t know how many people are injured by sidewalks．Nobody
keeps track of the data.”
(1).The purpose of the passage is to warn pedestrians to _______.答案：C
(A). make better sidewalks (B). pay attention to their feet
(C). pay attention to their feet (D). stay indoors as much as possible
(2). According to a recent government study,_______.答案：B
(A). a robber is more dangerous than a sidewalk
(B). a short walk along the street might be dangerous
(C). a hidden danger causes more harm than any other danger
(D). everyone will run into a danger on stepping out of his door
(3).Which of the following statements is true?答案：D
(A). Car injuries match those from tripping．(B). Cars have caused more injuries than
lorries．
(C). There are 600，000 trips all together every year all over the country．
(D). Pedestrian injuries on the sidewalk deserve public attention．
(4). From the passage，it can be inferred that _______.答案：C
(A). a fall on the sidewalk causes young people little injuries
(B).most of the sidewalk injuries don’t need medical treatment
(C). a sidewalk fall may make old people dependent on wheelchairs
(D). the government provides the exact number of sidewalk injuries each year
(5). The last paragraph probably implies that the National Road Casualty Statistics _______.答
案：C
(A). focuses on the sidewalk injuries (B). keeps track of data of sidewalk injuries
(C). pays less attention to the sidewalk injuries (D). has an exact number of the sidewalk injuries
3.Most parents make wellmeant efforts to set high goals to motivate and stimulate
their children’s learning and good behavior,”observes Sam Goldstein，a
psychologist specializing in child development at t he University of Utah.“But many
don’t understand their own child’s limitations or strengths.”
In fact，many potentialities and limitations—in intelligence，character and
mentalhealth—are laid down prior to birth．We may want our son or daughter to do
better than we did at the same age，but if it’s not in the cards，or genes，no
amount of coaching or coaxing（诱导)will move them much beyond their natural
gifts．In fact，the pressure may have the opposite effect．In most cases，the
parents’urge only adds to their children’s anxiety.
Trouble arises when we ignore the signs that a child isn’t ready or able to live up
to our expectations．If a child is not really good at what his parents are pushing
him to do，he will be confronted with failures．And repeated failures may cause some
children to set the bar too low for themselves，withdrawing from new experiences and
missing out on opportunities to guarantee they won’t fail again．When a child
doesn’t meet expectations，the parents may feel anger,which shows up as annoyance
or frustration．Children may see their parents’disappointment as rejection，and
these feelings can lead to hostility,emotional withdrawal，lack of ability and
conduct problems or immoral behaviors.
The bottom line is that we must accept our children for who they are and allow them
to become what they will be.But don’t misinterpret acceptance as permissiveness.Let
children do what they want when they want to；homework must be done，and family
rules respected．It comes down to a delicate balance of control and acceptance.
Often kids will give us the clue we need to help them set and achieve realistic
goals.The benefits of taking a realistic view of your child may surprise you．When
parents are accepting，loving and supportive，children are often motivated to exceed
your expectations.
(1).According to the passage,most parents tend to _______.答案：C
(A). permit children to do what they want (B).overestimate their children’s strengths
(C).set goals beyond children’s natural ability(D). motivate their children all the time
(2).Children’s potentialities and limitations are _______.
(A). predetermined (B). predicted (C). prearranged (D). preoccupied 答案：A
(3). Parents not only allow their children to become what they want,but also_______.答案：B
(A). keep a balance of control and acceptance(B). help their children to discipline themselves(C). urge their children to exceed their expectations(D). make wellmeant efforts to stimulate their children
(4).Children can do better than expected if their parents _______.答案：A
(A). accept their children as they are (B). read childdevelopment books
(C). set high goals for their children (D).teach family rules to their children
(5). The best title for the passage would be _______.答案：C
(A). Failure,the Mother of Success (B). Early Education,A Sure Way to Success
(C). Parents,Be Realistic about Your Children (D). The More You Demand,the Better Your Children Will Be

music study abroad,which I always think of as a waste of time.Now I do not for a
moment mean I look down upon business.My point is that it was not for me.I went into
it for money,and aside from the satisfaction of being able to help the family,money
was all I got out of it.I felt that life was passing me by.Apart from being merely
discontented,I felt rather miserable.My ambition was to save enough to go to Europe
to study music.Finally,I accumulated enough to go abroad.I resigned from my position
and sailed for Europe without hesitation.There I worked harder than I ever thought I
would and enjoyed every minute of it.I was leading a full life;that’s what I had
dreamed of.

些补贴所带来的一点满足外，所得到的只是钱了。我感到时光正从身边流逝。开始我只是不满意
，后来变得痛苦不堪。我的目的就是攒下足够的钱，到欧洲学习音乐。终于，我攒够了出国的钱

I was driving a taxi, looking for a customer. While passing New York Hospital, I found a man running down the hospital steps, waving at me. I stopped. The man reached the taxi and jumped in. “The Airport, please,”he said. As always, I wondered about my passenger. Was this man a talker? After a few moments, he started saying, “How do you like driving a taxi?” “It’s OK” I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes.” “What do you do?” I asked. “I am a doctor at New York Hospital.” Many times during long rides, I’d developed a good relationship with my passengers and received very good advice from them. This time I decided to ask for his help. “Could I ask a favor of you?” He didn’t answer. “I have a son, 15, a good kid. He wants a job this summer. Is it possible that you get one for him?” He still wasn’t talking, and I was starting to feel foolish. Finally, he said, “Well, my students have a summer research project. Maybe he could join in. Have him send me his school record.” He left his address and paid me. It was the last time I ever saw him.

I's sad to see how few people do even though many could Lots of people eagerly campaign for the reduction of greenhouse gases，but by driving cars，they're sill contributing to the problem. You might be picturing me as an extreme environmentalist (环保主义者)，but I'm not one of those teenagers who wear shirts that say "Help save the world: Recycle." Actually，my interest in exercise，health，and fitness led me to cycling. Cycling can help you lose weight，improve your health，and prevent many diseases. Cycling also carries a relatively low chance of injury. While being good for your body，bicycle commuting is also a great way to cut greenhouse gases. Many environmentalists recycle，plant tees，and drive hybrid cars (混合动力汽车)，but bicycle commuting could be even more effective than all of those combined. You could cut down the amount of greenhouse gases just by commuting by bicycle a few times a week. Bicycle commuting saves money too. When you buy your bicycle and the things that usually go with it. You might be shocked by the cost. But if you think about the increasingly high gas prices, you will know for sure that you can save a significant amount each year by not driving a car. You might think that you don't have time for bicycle commuting Actually. you probably do. You could cut back on your TV time and pick up this activity. It helps you care for the environment，save money，and most importantly get fit. 1. I will write a best-selling book on cycling. ( ) A:True B:False C:Not Given 英语（二）试卷第1页（共8页）

Think again. Leasing can end up being just as expensive as buying. Most people think about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They're right-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were to lease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If you were to buy the same car, you would pay about $400 per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But after your lease is over, you have to give the car back. Many people want to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwise be able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you might be able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buy a used Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model. A lease，therefore，allows you to drive the latest models of more expensive cars. However, whatever car you can afford to buy you get to keep it, and it will always have a resell or trade-in(以新旧换)value if you want to upgrade to a new car later. Furthermore, people who lease cars are often shocked by how much they must pay when the lease is over . Most leases limit you to a certain number of miles. If you go over that, you must pay for each mile. As a result, you may end up paying thousands of dollars in mileage(里程) fees. In addition, when you lease ,you have to pay for regular maintenance and repairs to the vehicle. Since you must return the car finally, you are paying to repair someone else's car.

Or, they’ll live healthier and more productive lives than the “cool” kids will. The study looked at 13-year-olds who acted old for their age by having “cool”behavior, such as early romantic relationships. They were seen as “cool” and popular kids. But as they grew up, things changed. The study found that these kids tended to have problems with drugs and relationships by their 20s. Their behavior was no longer linked with popularity. Instead, they were thought to be less socially skilled by their peers. Besides, the average “cool”kids, by age 22, did more poorly than the average kids in the study. They had a 45 percent greater rate of problems due to drugs and alcohol. They also had a 22 percent greater rate of criminal behavior. The study also found that these kids failed to develop important life skills. They spent so much time trying to seem cool. They didn’t

2018年4月高等教育自学考试《英语（一）》试题 课程代码：00012 一、阅读判断 Finding Paradise (天堂) and Success in Retirement Ivy Singh and her husband had their retirement all planned out. They wanted to have a place with enough land to grow plants. The couple successfully found a proper place and turned it into a farm called Bollywood Veggies. "We came and had a look and we found paradise. We started Bollywood Veggies there and then," she says. The basic idea of starting the farm was to keep themselves busy in retirement. Mrs. Singh says it was never begun as a business. "We started this as a lifestyle project for retirement." The farm's produce includes beans, cabbage and other crops. Soon, more people found out about the farm. Visitors often asked whether the farm offered any food or drinks. So the couple started a restaurant and a food museum on the farm. As the farm changed from a retirement to a commercial project, Mrs. Singh sought new business opportunities. A key area was growing bananas. Given the popularity of bananas and their use in a range of food products, she saw great potential. The farm uses its crop to make products such as banana chips and bread. Mrs. Singh, driven by the success of the project, now wants to open a retirement home on the farm. She says the farm is a nice place for people who have retired. Mrs. Singh says she does not care much about the profit, because she is getting to live her dream while making a difference to society. 1. Ivy and her husband made a careful plan for retirement. A.

But scientists say the farms of the future could be built in tall buildings in some large cities. It may be difficult to believe, but in fact, the technology for growing crops in doors already exists. Farming in the city is already happening. Some vegetables are already grown in greenhouses. Even the scientists at the South Pole research station can enjoy fresh vegetables they grow in their own greenhouse. Experts say indoor farming solves many problems. First, traditional farming takes up a lot of land. Growing crops in tall buildings — called vertical farming（垂直农业）— can solve the problem. Also, fruits and vegetables grown indoors would not face serious threats from insects and weather. Though vertical farms don’t exist yet, experts have created a plan for recycling in such farms. The water from indoor fish ponds would be used to water crops. Gases from crop waste would be used to heat the building. Waste from chicken or pigs would be reused as a source of energy. But experts believe vertical farming is not going to be easy. They say it can be difficult to control climate conditions indoors. Besides, Plants differ in their weather and lighting needs. For example, some plants like warm, sunny weather, but other plants prefer cooler temperatures. That’s not to say these difficulties won’t be overcome —but it will take time. Most experts suggest it may take about 5 to 15 years before the first vertical farms could be created. 【参考译文】 农场出现在城市里（城中农场） 当听到“农场”一词，你可能联想到乡下的母牛和庄稼等等。但科学家说，未来的农场可能会建在一些大城市的高楼里。 此事可能难以置信，可是事实上，在室内种庄稼已经存在了。城市里的农场已经出现，某些蔬菜已经在温室里生长。甚至在南极科考站，科学家们能享用他们在温室里自己栽种的新鲜蔬菜。 据专家们说室内农场可以解决许多问题。首先，传统农场占据大片土地。在高楼里种庄稼（称之为垂直农业）可以解决此问题。再者说，水果和蔬菜室内种植不会受到害虫和气候的威胁。 尽管垂直农场尚未成为现实，但是专家们已经在一些农场创建了再循环计划：把室内养鱼池的水用于浇灌农作物，把来自于农作物的废气用于建筑物的供热，来自于鸡和猪的粪便重新利用作为能源。 但是专家认为垂直农业并不是一件容易的事。他们说，控制室内气候环境是困难的。除此之外，植物对气候和光照需求有差异。例如，一些植物喜好温暖、阳光普照的气候，但另一些植物更喜欢较凉爽的温度。 并不是说这些困难不能克服——但是这将需要花时间。大多数专家指出，建立起第一个垂直农场可能需要五年到十五年的时间。 word “farm” may m ake you think of the countryside.
