Why? Because of the more than 4000 chemicals in tobacco smoke, nicotine is the primary one that acts on the brain, altering people’s moo ds, appetites and alertness in ways they find pleasant and beneficial. Unfortunately, as it is widely known, nicotine has a dark side: it is highly addictive. Once smokers become hooked on it, they must get their fix of it regularly, sometimes several dozen times a day. Cigarette smoke contains 43 known carcinogens, which means that long-term smoking canamount to a death sentence. In the US alone, 420,000 Americans die every year from tobacco-related illnesses.Breaking nicotine addiction is not easy. Each year, nearly 35 million people make a concerted effort to quit smoking. Sadly, less than 7 percent succeed in abstaining for more than a year; most start smoking again within days. So what is nicotine and how does it insinuate itself into the smoker’s bra in and very being?The nicotine found in tobacco is a potent drug and smokers, and even some scientists, say it offers certain benefits. One is enhance performance. One study found that non-smokers given doses of nicotine typed about 5 percent faster than they did without it. To greater or lesser degrees, users also say nicotine helps them to maintain concentration, reduce anxiety, relieve pain, and even dampen their appetites (thus helping in weight control). Unfortunately, nicotine can also produce deleterious effects beyond addiction. At high doses, as are achieved from tobacco products, it can cause high blood pressure, distress in the respiratory and gastrointestinal systems and an increase in susceptibility to seizures and hypothermia.First isolated as a compound in 1828, in its pure form nicotine is a clear liquid that turns brown when burned and smells like tobacco when exposed to air. It is found in several species of plants, including tobacco and, perhaps surprisingly, in tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplant (though in extremely low quantities that are pharmacologically insignificant for humans).As simple as it looks, the cigarette is highly engineered nicotine delivery device. For instance, when tobacco researchers found that much of the nicotine in a cigarette wasn’t released when burned but rather remained chemically bound within the tobacco leaf, they began adding substances such as ammonia to cigarette tobacco to release more nicotine. Ammonia helps keep nicotine in its basic form, which is more readily vaporised by the intense heat of the burning cigarette than the acidic form. Most cigarettes for sale in the US today contain 10 milligrams or more of nicotine. By inhaling smoke from a lighted cigarette, the average smoker takes 1 or2 milligrams of vaporised nicotine per cigarette. Today we know that only a miniscule amount of nicotine is needed to fuel addiction. Research shows that manufacturers would have to cut nicotine levels in a typical cigarette by 95% to forestall its power to addict. When a smoker puffs on a lighted cigarette, smoke, including vaporised nicotine, is drawn into the mouth. The skin and lining of the mouth immediately absorb some nicotine, but the remainder flows straight down into the lungs, where it easily diffuses into the blood vessels lining the lung walls. The blood vessels carry the nicotine to the heart, which then pumps it directly to the brain. While most of the effects a smoker seeks occur in the brain, the heart takes a hit as well.Studies have shown that a smoker’s first cigarette of the day can increase his or her heart rate by 10 to 20 beats a minute. Scientists have found that a smoked substance reaches the brain more quickly than one swallowed, snorted (such as cocaine powder) or even injected. Indeed, a nicotine molecule inhaled in smoke will reach the brain within 10 seconds. The nicotine travels through blood vessels, which branch out into capillaries within the brain. Capillaries normally carry nutrients but they readily accommodate nicotine molecules as well. Once inside the brain, nicotine, like most addictive drugs, triggers the release of chemicals associated with euphoria and pleasure. Just as it moves rapidly from the lungs into the bloodstream, nicotine also easily diffuses through capillary walls. It then migrates to the spaces surrounding neurones –ganglion cells that transmit nerve impulses throughout the nervous system. These impulses are the basis for our thoughts, feelings, and moods. To transmit nerve impulses to its neighbour, a neurone releases chemical messengers known as neurotransmitters. Like nicotine molecules, the neurotransmitters drift into the so-called synaptic space between neurones, ready to latch onto the receiving neurone and thus deliver a chemical “message” that triggers an ele ctrical impulse.The neurotransmitters bind onto receptors on the surface of the recipient neurone. This opens channels in the cell surface through whichenter ions, or charged atoms, of sodium. This generates a current across the membrane of the receiving cell, which completes delivery of the “message”. An accomplished mimic, nicotine competes with the neurotransmitters to bind to the receptors. It wins and, like the vanquished chemical, opens ion channels that let sodium ions into the cell. But there’s a lot more nicotine around than the original transmitter, so a much larger current spreads across the membrane. This bigger current causes increased electrical impulses to travel along certain neurones. With repeated smoking, the neurones adapt to this increased electrical activity, and the smoker becomes dependent on the nicotine.Questions 1 – 71. Although nicotine is probably the well-known chemical in cigarettes, it is not necessarily the one that changes the psyche of the smoker when cigarettes are smoked.2. In spite of the difficulties, according to thetext more than thirty-five million people a yeargive up smoking.3. It has been shown that nicotine in cigarettescan improve people’s abilities to perform someactions more quickly.4. Added ammonia in cigarettes allows smokers to inhale more nicotine.5. Snorted substances reach the brain faster than injected substances.6. Nicotine dilates the blood vessels that carry it around the body.7. Nicotine molecules allow greater electrical charges to pass between neurones.Questions 8 – 108. Cigarette companies would have to cut the nicotine content in cigarettes by _________ to prevent them from being addictive.9. According to the passage, a cigarette can raisea smoker’s heart rate by _________ a minut e.10. In order to transmit nerve impulses to its neighbour, a neurone sends _________ known as neurotransmittersSection B. Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: In this section, there are 3 passages.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.One of the most interesting paradoxes in America today is that Harvard University, the oldest university of higher learning in the United States, is now engaged in a serious discussion about what a university should be, and whether it is measuring up.Should Harvard—or any other university—be an intellectual sanctuary(圣地), apart from the political and social revolution of the age, or should it be a laboratory for experimenting with these political and social revolutions; or even an engine of the revolution?This issue was defined several years ago by Walter LippMann, a famous Harvard graduate: “If the universities are to do their work,” he said, “ they must be independent and they must be disinterested(公正)…They are places to which men can turn for judgments which are fair. Obviously, the moment the universities fall under political control, or under the control of private interests, or the moment they themselves take a hand in political affairs and leading positions in government, their value as independent as disinterested sources of judgment is weakened…”This is part of the discussion that is going on at Harvard today. Another part is the discussion of the militant(激进的) and even many conservative students that a university is the keeper of our ideals and morals, and should not be “disinterested”but active in bringing the nation’s ideals and actions together.Harvard’s men of today seem more troubled and less sure about personal, political and study purposes than they did at the beginning. They are not even clear about how they should discuss and resolve their problem, but they are struggling with them privately, and how they come out is sure to influence American university and political life.11. According to Walter LippMann, a university must _____.A. depend on the governmentB. take active part in political affairs and social issuesC. fall under the control of special and private interestsD. remain independent of our society12. Those who disagree with Walter LippMann argue that a university should_____.A. be engaged in a serious discussion on the role it plays in the societyB. support our old and established universitiesC. take an active part in solving society’s problemsD. not be interested in social revolutions13. In regard to their goals and purposes in life, Harvard men of today are becoming_____.A. more sure about themB. less sure about themC. Class interested in themD. completely lost14. The word “paradoxes” underlined in the first sentence of this passage means______.A. a difficult problemB. an out-of-the-ordinary conditionC. a self-contradiction (矛盾)D. an unusual situation15. According to the writer, the discussion going on at Harvard______.A. will soon be overB. will have no resultC. will influence future life in AmericaD. will cause little influence on other universitiesPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal.One of their chief duties is to give their children a sense of personal worth, for self-esteem is the basis of a good mental health.A youngster, who is often made to feel stupid, often compared to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins, will not feel confident and become so afraid of failing, that he (or she) won’t try at all.Of course, they should be corrected when they do wrong: this is the way children learn. But the criticisms should be balanced with praises. Parents owe their children firm guidance and consistent discipline. It is frightening for a youngster to feel that he is charge of himself; it’s like being in a car without brakes. The parent who says “No” when other parents say “Yes” sends a double message .He is also saying:” I love you, and I am ready to risk your anger, because I don’t want you to get into trouble.”Parents owe their children a comfortable feeling about their body, and enough information about sex to balance the wrong information that they will surely receive from their friends.Parents owe their children privacy and respect for their personal things. This means not borrowing things without being permitted, not reading diaries and mail, not looking through pockets.If a mother feels that she must read her daughter’s diary to know what is going on, the communication between them must be pretty bad.Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others; it means respecting elders, teachers, and the law. The best way to teach such values is by example. A child who is lied to will lie. A child who sees his parents steal tools from the factory or towels from a hotel will think that it is all right to steal. A youngster who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have difficult time laughing and loving.No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something. And if you give him his due, he’ll have something of value to pass along to your grandchildren.16. According to the passage, parents owe their children the following things except______.A. carsB. privacyC. respectD. information about their body17. The writer things that teenagers arefrightened when they are in charge of themselves because_________.A. they don’t know how to stop a car without brakesB. there is no one to guide and discipline themC. they are afraid of being left aloneD. there is no one to ask for help when in trouble18. Which of the following ways is advised for parents to show love to their children?A. Saying” Yes” to everything the children ask forB. Never embracing older childrenC. Refusing something to their childrenD. Never criticizing children19. The word “due” in the last p aragraph means________.A. something one should do or finish before a fixed timeB. reasonable explanation(s) or plan(s)C. what must be given to someone because it is right or owingD. the money to be paid20. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Parents prefer to let their children be in charge of their own lives at an early age.B. Children learn much by seeing what their parents do.C. Children shouldn’t be corrected because it destroys their self-esteem.D. It is better to compare a youngster to hisbrighter brothers because it makes him try harder.Passage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion among economies. It has been argued that the supply of a good land is limited. To feed a large population, poor land must be cultivated and the good land worked intensively. Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be contained with a smaller population. Other economists have argued that a large population gives more chance of development of facilities such as ports, roads and railways, which are not likely to bebuilt unless there is a big demand.One of the difficulties in carrying out a worldwide birth control program lies in the fact that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country depending on the level of industrial development and the availability of food and raw material. In the developing country where a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, the first concern of government will be to set a limit on the birthrate, whatever the final result may be. In a highly industrialized society the problem may be more complex. A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a declining market for manufactured goods. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and building industry grows weaker. Faced with concerns such as these, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or in decline.21. The main topic of this article is _______.A. environment protectionB. population growthC. environment and economyD. climate changing22. The passage says that a small population may lead to _______.A. higher production, but a lower average incomeB. lower production and lower average incomeC. higher production and a higher average incomeD. lower production, but a higher average income23. According to the passage, the use of birth control perhaps is good for________.A. a developing countryB. a developed countryC. the whole worldD. each nation with a big population24. In a developed country, people will perhaps be unemployed if the birthrate________.A. goes upB. goes downC. remains stableD. is out of control25. The author is aiming to show that ________.A. humans will run out of their food supply in the futureB. it is necessary for humans to carry out a worldwide plan for birth controlC. different nation have different views of population growthD. we need to take necessary measures to prevent the overuse of natural resourcesSection C Reading in Depth (10%)Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

Since the dawn of human ingenuity (独创性), people have devised greater and greater tools to cope with work that is dangerous, boring, burdensome, or just plain nasty. That compulsion (强制) has resulted in attempts to make robots, machines with human capabilities. And if scientists have yet to create the mechanical version of science fiction, they have begun to come close.As a result, the modern world is increasingly full of intelligentgizmos whose presence we barely notice but whose universal existence has removed much human labor. Our factories hum (忙碌) to the rhythm of robot assembly arms. Our banking is done at automated teller terminals that thank us with mechanical politeness for the transaction. Our subway trains are controlled by tireless robot drivers. And thanks to the continual miniaturization (小型化) of electronics and micro-mechanics, there are already robot systems that can perform some kinds of brain and bone surgery with perfect accuracy—far greater precision than highly skilled physicians can achieve with their hands alone.But if robots are to reach the next stage of laborsaving utility, they will have to operate with less human supervision and be able to make at least a few decisions for themselves-goals that pose a real challenge. "While we know how to tell a robot to handle a specific error," says Dave Lavery, manager of a program at NASA, "we can't yet give a robot enough 'common sense' to reliably interact with a dynamic world."Indeed the quest for true artificial intelligence has produced very mixed results. Despite a spell of initial optimism in the 1960s and 1970s when it appeared that transistor (晶体管) circuits might be able to copy the action of the human brain by the year 2010, researchers lately have begun to extend that forecast by decades if not centuries.1.Human ingenuity was initially demonstrated in ________.A. the use of machines to produce science fictionB. the wide use of machines in manufacturing industryC. the invention of tools for difficult and dangerous workD. the clever tackling of dangerous and boring work2.The word "gizmos" (paragraph 2) most probably means________.A. programsB. expertsC. devicesD. creatures3.According to the text, what is beyond man's ability now is todesign a robot that can ________.A. fulfill delicate tasks like performing brain surgeryB. interact with human beings orallyC. have a little common senseD. respond independently to a changing world4.What does the author think?A. Robots will always require supervision.B. People have both successes and failures with robots.C. The making of robots will always meet mixed successes.D. Robots and people should never be mixed.5.What made people optimistic about robots?A. Transistor circuits.B. The 60s and 70s.C. Researchers.D. The human brain.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Could the bad old days of economic decline be about to return? Since OPEC agreed to supply-cuts in March, the price of crude oil has jumped to almost $26 a barrel, up from less than $10 last December. This near-tripling (几乎三倍) of oil prices calls up scary memories of the 1973 oil shock, when prices quadrupled (四倍的), and 1979-1980, when they also almost tripled. Both previous shocks resulted in double-digit inflation and global economic decline. So where are the headlines warning of gloom (沮丧) and doom (厄运) this time?Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in the 1970s. Rich economies are less dependent on oil than they were, and so less sensitive to swings in the oil price. Energy conservation, a shift to other fuels and a decline in the importance of heavy, energy-intensive industries have reduced oil consumption. Software, consultancy and mobile telephones use far less oil than steel or car production. For each dollar of GDP (in constant prices) rich economies now use nearly 50% less oil than in 1973. The OECD estimates in its latest Economic Outlook that if oil prices averaged $22 a barrel for a full year, compared with $13 in 1998, this would increase the oil import bill in rich economies by only 0.25-0.5% of GDP. That is less than one-quarter of the income loss in 1974 or 1980. On the other hand, oil-importing emerging economies—to which heavy industry has shifted—have become more energy-intensive, and so could be more seriously squeezed.One more reason not to lose sleep over the rise in oil prices is that, unlike the rises in the 1970s, it has not occurred against the background of general product-price inflation and global excess demand. A sizable portion of the world is only just emerging from economic decline.6.What does the author describe as frightening?A. The 1973 oil shock.B. Global economic decline.C. The gloom and doom of this time.D. OPEC supply-cuts.7.What are newspapers having people believe?A. The rise in oil is going to cause serious problems.B. The economy is going to get better.C. Oil prices are going to triple.D. Energy conservation is necessary.8.What has new technology lead to?A. Double-digit inflation.B. Reduced oil dependency.C. Steel production.D. Energy conservation.9.Why does the author tell us "not to lose sleep"?A. We will need energy from sleep.B. Worrying will not help.C. We need not worry.D. People will be seriously squeezed in the future.10.From the text we can see that the writer seems ________.A. optimisticB. sensitiveC. sadD. scared。

Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself, he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for entire nation’s hopes, dreams and reputation.A good example is the football Word Cup. Football is the world’s most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention Argentina (阿根廷) to someone and the chances are that he’ll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup put Argentina on the map.Sports fans and supporters get quite unreasonable about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played. So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport? Certainly not! Do the Argentineans really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is in e very way better than all others? Not really, But it’s nice to know that you won and that in one way at least your country is the best.1．What is the author’s main purpose in the passage?A.To explain the role of sportB.To compare Scotland with ArgentinaC.To show that Argentina is better than all othersD.To prove that football is the world’s most important sport参考答案：A2．In the second paragraph, the word “summit” means “ ”.A.awardB.summaryC.highest pointD.mountain top参考答案：C3．According to the passage, Argentina is world-famous because of its .A.obvious position on the mapB.successes in the football World CupC.excellence at most important sportsrge number of sports fans and supporters参考答案：B4．According to the passage, if a sportsman only thinks about winning, he will .A.fail to succeedB.lose enjoymentC.be successfulD.be unreasonable参考答案：B5．What is the author’s attitude towards international games?A.Nations that meet on a football field are unlikely to meet on a battlefieldB.Nations that win the football World Cup are regarded as best in all aspects.C.Nations that win in international games prove the best on the sports field at least.D.Nations that give much attention to international competitions are world-famous inmany ways.参考答案：C1．What is the passage mainly about?A.A special expedition into the woods.B.Life of adults in a special work group.C.Different ideas of adults and teenagers.D.How adults and teenagers live together in a special group.参考答案：D2．When and where was the special program offered?A.Every summer in New York City.B.Every winter in New York State.C.Every summer in New York State.D.Every winter in New York City.参考答案：C3．What will people do when someone breaks a rule?A.Criticize him or her.B.Have a group discussion about it.C.Make more rules.D.Ask him or her to work more in the woods.参考答案：B4．Which of the following is NOT stated directly in the passage as a purpose of the program?A.To keep members of the group busy doing something.B.To make the people there understand the meaning of work.C.To find a way to solve the generation gap.D.To help people find enjoyment in work.参考答案：C5．What do the teenagers NOT do when they are free?A.They learn photography.B.They learn painting.C.They build houses.D.They sit around singing.参考答案：C1．Which of the following is NOT true?A.Winners placed olive wreaths on their own heads.B.The games were held in Greece every four years.C.Battles were interrupted to participate in the games.D.Poems glorified the winners in song.参考答案：A2．Why were the Olympic games held?A.to stop warsB.to crown the best athletesC.to honor ZeusD.to sing songs about the athletes参考答案：C3．Approximately how many years ago did these games originate?A.more than776 yearsB.more than 2,277 yearsC.more than 1,205 yearsD.more than 2,760 years参考答案：D4．Which of the following contests was not mentioned?A.discus throwingB.skatingC.boxingD.running参考答案：B5．What conclusion can we draw about the ancient Greeks?A.They liked to fight.B.They were very athletic.C.They liked a lot of ceremonies.D.They couldn't count, so they used "Olympiads" for dates.参考答案：B1、He received an award for bravery from the police service.参考答案：他以其勇敢行为受到警务部门的嘉奖。

第二篇短文后有5个正、误判断题，请选择T或F.Passage OneIt has been reported that in colleges across the United States, the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become "in". Between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4:30 pm, college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can't wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they're a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school stude nts are in front of their TV sets. One young work ing woma n admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960's, it was un com mon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very differe nt from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importanee.Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be happy. It may seem strange that they should tur n to soap opera, which is known for show ing trouble in people's lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Young people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chanee to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.6. What is soap opera?A : Plays based on scienee fiction stories.B : Plays based on non-fiction stories.C： The daytime serial dramas on TV.D ： Popular documentary films on TV.7． What can be the best title of the passage?A ： College student viewers.B ： Favorite TV serials.C： Soap opera fans.D ： College-age viewers.8．Which is NOT the reason why the soap opera has suddenly become "in" among American young people ?A ： Because the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves.B ：Because the soap opera makes young people feel close to their people. C：Because the viewers can find themselves in the soap opera characters. D ： Because the young people have to bear the responsibilities for their troubles.9． What can we learn from the passage? _______A ： College students like soap operas more than any other social groups.B ： Young people of sixties liked soap operas more than people today.C： young viewers have turned themselves from the seriousness of sixties to enjoyment now.D ： The young as a whole are trying to look for happy love but in vain.10． What message does the author want to convey to us? ______A ： The people's favorites to drama works have been changed for a long time.B ： The people's favorites to drama works change along with the times.C： The people's favorites to drama works is changed by the soap opera.D ： The people's favorites have changed the drama works.Passage TwoMartin Luther King was a black minister, who became a great leader of the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s.King was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi's idea of non-violent resistance. Having received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy) from Boston University, he became a political and religious 可编辑 word, 供参考版！leader of the non-violent civil relights movement in 1955. On August 28, 1963, he led over 250,000 America ns on a march in Wash ington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law to guara ntee equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech "I Have a Dream" before the Lincoln Memorial. The "dream" is a dream of brotherly love and equality for the Black and White. Thus, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for peace in 1964, but he was murdered four years later.Though he died, he was greatly respected and loved by the America ns, both the white and the black. By vote of Con gress in 1968, the third Mon day of every January is now a federal holiday in Luther Kin g's honor. He lives in people's hearts forever.11.

It is certainly true that worry and quarrel can cause all kinds of ill nesses, 21 backache to severe headaches, or evenmore serious compla ints such as high blood pressure.Many of us think 22 stress as someth ing that other people impose on us. We often compla in about how other people put us 23 pressure. But we should try not to let such pressure affect us. We should not forget that we are largely resp on sible for some of the stress ourselves. We sometimes take 24 more work than our bodies and our minds can handle.

Then everything changed. During the Fourth of July weekend, residents woke up one morning to find that the lake had disappeared.Some people didn't believe what they were seeing. They looked again, but to their amazement they found they had been right the first time. The lake was simply no longer there. In its place was a muddy crater（坑）, 30 feet deep. It was as if the lake had been a giant bathtub（浴盆）and someone had pulled the plug. The lake's owner, Joseph Unanue, did indeed pull the plug. That's exactly what happened. The dam（水坝） that held back the water to form the lake was falling apart, so government officials ordered him to repair it. They issued him a permit to lower the dam level "five feet or more." He did much more. Mr. Unanue found repairs to the dam would cost $100,000. He didn't want to spend that much, so he opened the dam and lowered the water level until the lake was completely drained. People living above the dam ended up with no lake. People living below the dam ended up with tons of mud and lots of dead fish. Everyone involved was angry with Mr. Unanue. Area residents believe Mr. Unanue acted out of spite（恶意）. They say he wanted to get back at them because the town wouldn't let him develop an amusement park on the lakeshore. When he couldn't build his park, he just went away and took his lake with him.1．The story is mainly about _______.A.a lake that everyone likedB.a bad-tempered man and his lakeC.a lake that had be repairedD.people who lived near a lake参考答案：B2．The lake was compared to a bathtub because _______ .A.it was in the Shape of a bathtubB.the water was warm and cleanC.people got clean in itD.it could be emptied out参考答案：D3．Mr.Unanue drained the lake because _______.A.the lake was too fullB.he got a permit to do soC.he didn't want to fix the damD.the fish were all dying参考答案：C4．Neighbors think Mr. Unanue is _______.A.a man difficult to understandB.well within his fightsC.tired of swimmingD.a nasty man with ill will参考答案：D5．The situation could be changed by _______.A.repairing the damB.planting some treesC.buying some new BoatsD.cleaning up the dead fish参考答案：A2、 Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it's painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you're "hot". That's true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: "Get up, John! You'll be late for work again!" The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and -energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You can't change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point. Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.1．If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably _______.A.he is a lazy personB.he refuses to follow his own energy cycle C.he is not sure when his energy is low D.he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening 参考答案：D 2．Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage? A.Unawareness of energy cycles. B.Familiar monologues. C.A change in a family member's energy cycle. D.Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members. 参考答案：A 3．If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should _______. A.change his energy cycle B.overcome his laziness C.get up earlier than usual D.go to bed earlier 参考答案：C 4．You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will _______. A.help to keep your energy for the day's work B.help you to control your temper early in the day C.enable you to concentrate on your routine work D.keep your energy cycle under control all day 参考答案：A 5．Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE? A.Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one's energy. B.Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day. C.Habit helps a person adapt to his own energy cycle. D.Children have energy cycles, too. 参考答案：B3、 If there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is the ability to profit by defeat. Every success I know has been achieved because the person wasable to analyze defeat was actually profit by it in his next undertaking. Confuse defeat with failure, and you are doomed indeed to failure. For it isn't defeat that makes you fail: it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success.Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of. They are routine incidents in the life of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it without humiliation, analyze it and learn why you failed. Defeat, in other words, can help to cure its own muse. Not only does defeat prepare us for success, but nothing can amuse within us a compelling desire to success. If you let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull it away, he will cling more and more tightly until his whole weight is suspended. It is this same reaction that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated. If you exploit the power that defeat gives, you can accomplish with it far more that you are capable of. 1．What does the author know?A.He knows at least several cases of success.B.He knows every success in life.C.It's not mentioned in the passage.D.He knows every success that has been achieved by man. 参考答案：A 2．The person who was able to analyze defeat is likely_________.A.to achieve successB.to be a successorC.to be ashamed of his defeatD.to let a baby grasp a rod 参考答案：A 3．The author _________.A.advises you to confuse defeat with failureB.wants you to mistake defeat for failureC.orders you to confuse defeat with failureD.warns you not to confuse defeat with failure 参考答案：D 4．Defeat is valuable ________.A.because it makes you failB.because it forces you to face it without humiliationC.in that it provides the guide and encouragement to successD.because of your own refusal to see in it the guide and encouragement to success 参考答案：C 5．What does the author advise one to do with the power which defeat gives? One should ________.A.make unfair use of it B.explain it C.memorize it D.turn it to practical account 参考答案：D四、 英译汉 共 8 题1、 Ted and William have lived under the same roof for five years.参考答案：泰德和威廉已经在同一个屋檐下生活了五年了。

大学英语读写译（三）期末测试题（2）Part I Reading Comprehension (55%)Part I. Skimming and Scanning (10 %)Directions:In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on The Answer Sheet. For questions 1-7, markY ( for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG ( for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage.For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with information given in the passage.Are Language Skills Enough?There is so much more meaning to a message than what exists in the spoken or written words. For example, if a person says, “You know, Barbara, I really like you,” it has different meanin gs depending on whether it is said by a man or woman, in an office or a bar. Context, the tone of voice, the stress put on certain words, as well as the eye contact, physical distance, and the relationship between the speaker and listener are all factors which give meaning to what’s being said. Sometimes, these factors can generate much more meaning than the words themselves. If a friend says to me, “Gee, I can’t wait to see the result of the upcoming election,” my interpretation of that message will be bas ed upon my knowledge of my friend’s political views, the situation with the current campaign, and my ability to understand the meaning behind the tone of voice.Our ability to understand such cues is developed without us being aware of it through our process of socialization. Our interpretation of these cues just comes naturally. Every culture has its own set of cultural rues that each member of that culture understands. It’s common how a person form Culture A and a person form Culture B interpret the very same words in totally different ways. Here are some examples.When “Sarcasm” Means “Sincerity”Marsha though things were gong well with her new French friends, particularly Bertrand. He often invited her to interesting and fun events, but he was often making fun of her. One day at an art exhibition, while looking at a particularly abstract piece, Marsha said that she couldn’t understand what the artist was trying to express. Bertrand smiled and responded, “Yes, I’m afraid French art is far too advanced for Americans to understand.” Marsha was upset; she really liked him and could not figure out what caused him to frequently make fun of her. So, she asked her host mother about it. “My dear,” the host mother told her, “this means that he really likes you. In F rance, when someone feels comfortable enough to make fun of you, that means that you have been welcomed as a very close friend.”When “Now” Doesn’t Mean “Now”Joshua, an American student in Heredia, Costa Rica, called his Costa Rican partner to meet for coffee. When he asked what time they should meet, the response was “Nos encontranmos ahora en el paraque”. Ahora literallymeans now. So, he grabbed his jacket and headed straight to the park where they agreed to meet. Half an hour later, his friend arrived without the least sigh of regret for being late. After discussing the matter with his Spanish teacher, Joshua learned that in Costa Rica, ahora means sometime within the hour. And, if people decide to meet someplace like the park, it is no problem for one or the other person to wait for a while because they will spend some nice time in the park, probably running into some other friends, or meeting someone friendly.When “Yes” Doesn’t Mean “Yes”Many business people might have experienced this frustrating situation in Japan. Sarah, a young business woman form New York, was sent to Japan to close a big deal for her company. While giving her presentation, she became more and more certain of the sale because her Japanese business partners continually nodded their heads as she spoke. When she finished, she thought the deal was made and asked when they would like to sigh the agreement. She was shocked when she was told that they were not yet sure if they wanted to make the deal or not. What Sarah did not know is th at in Japan, nodding head does not necessarily mean “Yes” as it does in the U.S. It can also mean “Yes, I am listening and understanding what you are saying.”These stories provide just a few examples of how language skills are simply not enough to achieve effective communication in anther culture. To get the most of your international learning experience, focus on gaining cross-cultural skills as well as language skills. Cross-cultural skills will enable you to do the following:●Understand how cultural affects communication;●Deal with behavior that seems to you strange or offensive;●Learn form your cultural adaption process;●Communicate more effectively.These sills will also help you when you learn a new language. After all, language is a reflection of the culture from which it developed.Questions:1.This passage tells us that language skills alone are not enough for cross-cultural communication.2.On many occasions, a spoken or written message may have different meanings due to various contributingfactors.3.We are born with the ability to understand the cultural cues.4.Marsha’s French friend, Bertrand, didn’t like her and often laughed at her ignorance of the French art.5.Joshua learned that in Costa Rica, people are usually late for their appointments and won’t feel sorry for that.6.Nodding in Japan is understood in quite different way form that in America.7.The stories given in the passage come form the author’s interview with Marsha, Joshua, and Sarah.8.The stories told in the passage show that language skills are not enough for people to communicate effectivelyin _____________________.9.Cross-cultural skills will help us learn form our___________________.10.________________________ will also helpful when we learn a new language.Section B Careful Reading (30 %)Directions:In this section, there are 3 passages. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In the 1900's, American townspeople usually washed and brushed their teeth and combed their hair in the kitchen. Or they kept a water pitcher（大水罐）and a wash basin in their rooms and took care of these things there.The bathtub was a wash tub（澡盆）filled with water from the stove. If you were small enough you could sit down by drawing your knees to your chest. Otherwise, you washed yourself standing up. Often all the women and girls in the family bathed together. Then the men and boys did. In most families this was Saturday night because Sundays they went to church.A small number of families did have running water. But that depended on whether there was a water system where they lived and on whether they could afford the plumbing（水管设施）. Some people had bathtubs in their homes as early as 1895. But many others did not have their first bath in a bathtub until 1910 or later when they were fifteen or sixteen years old.11. In the first paragraph, "took care of" means _____.A. KeptB. looked afterC. usedD. kept and used12. In order to use the water from the stove, ther e_____ be a pipe connecting the tub with the stove.A. MustB. seemed toC. needn'tD. should13. Which of the following statements is true?A. Males and females in the family took turns using the bathtub.B. Some bathtubs were big enough for many people to bathe in at the same time.C. All the women and girls of a family could bathe together standing up in the tub.D. When several family members bathed together, they did not use the bathtub.14. _____Americans owned a bathtub as early as 1895.A. ManyB. Not allC. AllD. Few15. We can infer（推断）that the plumbing at that time.A. cost littleB. was more expensive than a water systemC. was too expensive for every family to affordD. was not necessaryPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six. At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago - so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction. The social educationof young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive. However, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.16.

I was alone, quite ill and had to delay my flight home. Luckily, when booking my ticket months before, I had bought travel insurance. So my illness didn’t cost me a cent.It’s actually pretty simple. A lot of unforeseen things can happen to you when you’re traveling. Make sure you’re prepared for all of them.A good health insurance policy will get you proper medical attention anywhere in the world outside your home province —at the insurance company’s expense. The company will send you home if it is considered medically necessary and, if you’re sick enough, it will send a nurse to accompany you. If you end up in a hospital and a doctor recommends that a family member come to your bedside, the insurance company will pay for it. You may even getpocket money to make your hospital stay more comfortable.When I was sick in Bombay, I called the insurance company collect. It paid for a doctor (who came to my hotel room), all my medication, an extra night in the hotel and all my meals.Picture it: the day before your big trip to Vancouver, you wake up with appendicitis (阑尾炎). You have no choice — you have to cancel your trip. Your ticket, like most, is non-refundable and you can’t make any changes. You’re about to lose all the money you put out for the ticket — unless you bought cancellation insurance beforehand.Most travel plans include some form of non-refundable element: your deposit, your flights, your cruise, your stay at the all-inclusive resort. That non-refundable portion is what you’ll lose if you have to cancel your trip in the event that you get sick and you don’t have cancellation insurance.21.
