Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil. Questions 61 ~ 65 are based on the following passage:There are three common calendar systems in use by the United States higher education institution. Semester Systems are one of them.The academic year is divided into two terms, each of which provides for about 15 weeks of instruction plus a week for final examinations. The fall semester, considered the first term of the academic year, usually begins in September or late August, and it is increasingly common for the term to start early enough to be completed before the two-week Christmas holiday. Colleges start later in September. The second or spring semester usually begins sometime in January and ends in late May or early June. Most schools schedule a one- or two-week vacation in March or April. A variation of the semester system being tried by some institutions is the “4—1—4” calendar, which has a four-month fall semester ending in December, a one-month short term in January for which students may enroll if they wish, and another four-month semester beginning early in February.61. In the United States, the students will stay in school for about _D___ a year.A. 15 weeksB. 16 weeksC. 30 weeksD. 32 weeks62. The academic year begins _B__.A. in late SeptemberB. in late AugustC. sometime in JanuaryD. in late May63. The first term ends __C__.A. after Christmas holidayB. in MayC. before Christmas holidayD. in fall64. The second term lasts about _D___.A. five monthsB. four monthsC. six monthsD. five or six months65. In the “4—1—4” calendar system, the first term begins _B__.A. In DecemberB. In AugustC. In JanuaryD. In FebruaryQuestions 66~70 are based on the following passage:In sport the sexes are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same faces. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are call ed “the weaker sex”, or, if men want to please them, “the fair sex”. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. Andwomen live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really weaker?The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s times are always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surp rise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teen-age girls. One of them swam 400 meters in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first “Tarzan”(泰山) in films was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weiss Muller. His fastest 400 meters was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone injections. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!66. Women are called “the weaker sex” because _B___.A. women do as much work as menB. people think women are weaker than menC. sport is easier for men than for womenD. in sport the two sexes are always together67. Which of the following is true? BA. Boys and girls study separately everywhere.B. Women do not run or swim in races with men.C. Famous Prime Ministers are women.D. Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe.68. “That at least is what people say.” Means people__C__.A. say other things tooB. don’t say this muchC. say this but may not think soD. only think this69. What problems does sport have? BA. Some women athletes are actually men.B. Some women athletes are given hormone injections.C. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.D. It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.70. In this passage the author implies that _C___.A. women are weaker than men, but fasterB. women are slower than men, but strongerC. men are not always stronger and faster than womenD. men are faster and stronger than womenQuestions 71~75 are base on the following passage:The stamp collector can learn a great deal from the colorful pieces of paper he put in his album. In addition to learning some basic things about organization and systematic arrangement, the stamp collector can receive a good course in history and geography from stamps. As a collector progresses and becomes more specialized, stamps teach him some basic facts about engraving, paper, and printing.Stamps are excellent sources of historical information. Almost every nation celebrates its military heroes and political leaders on its postage stamps. But scientists and artists, from Einstein to Beethoven, also grace the stamps of the world. Famous battles are frequently commemorated,as well as buildings an d scenes which have historical significance. Several of the world’s stamps are beautiful, full-color reproductions of the artistic masterpieces of different historical periods.Stamps also offer instruction in geography. It doesn’t take long before a begin ning collector checks the locations of the countries from which his stamps come. Nations like Liechtenstein, San Marino, Andorra, Gabon, Ghana, and Afghanistan, while unknown to many, are usually quite familiar to stamp collectors. Moreover, each country tends to use stamps to advertise its natural wonders. Such renowned attractions as Yosemite National Park, Victoria Falls, Mount Everest, and the Bay and Fundy appear on the stamps of the nation within whose borders they lie.If he wishes to become more of a specialist, the stamp collector can learn some basic things about engraving, paper, and printing. The more advanced collector learns to distinguish between offset and letterpress printing. He learns to identify the different impressions made by metal and wooden engraved plates. He finds out how to detect watermarks in the various papers used for stamps, and how to identify the characteristics of different papers and the coatings which are applied to them. To the layman, most stamps appear pretty much the same. But armed with a magnifying glass, the more specialized collector can tell the difference between a common issue and a rare variety.71. Which of the following statements do you think best describes the main idea of the essay? CA. A stamp collector must have a great deal of knowledge in history and geography.B. A stamp collector should be good at organization and systematic arrangement.C. A stamp collector can learn a lot from the stamps he collects.D. A stamp collector is a specialist who know much about engraving, paper and printing.72. The word “album” in the first sentence means_B__.A. a holder for sets of discB. a blank book used for collecting stampsC. a frame in which the best stamps are displayedD. a small box where colorful stamps are kept73. “Basic thing about organization and systematic arrangement” refers to __D_.A. postal organizations and systems that print and issue new stampsB. various organizations and systems that sell new stampsC. organizations all over the world that offer help to stamp collectorsD. knowledge or information about how to organize and arrange things in good order74. Which of the following statements is NOT true? CA. Almost all nations issue stamps celebrating their military heroes or political leaders.B. Famous battles and buildings of historical significance are frequently commemorated onstamps.C. Few scientists and artists appear on stamps.D. Scientists and artists as well as political and military leaders are celebrated on stamps.75. A layman is a person who__D__.A. has just started collecting stampsB. is a beginning collectorC. is not very much interested in stamp collectingD. does not have much professional knowledgeIII.

Translation from English into Chinese (15 marks)Directions: In this part there is a passage with 5 underlined parts, numbered 76~80. After reading the passage carefully, you should translate the underlined parts into Chinese.Science falls into two main categories: pure science and applied science. (96) Pure science considers how the universe works and how life has developed into the plants and animals we see on earth today. By means of pure science(such as chemistry, physics, geology, biology, or astronomy) we learn the laws of nature, the way the bodies of beasts and men are constructed, and how the minds of men function. (97) Applied science, often called engineering or technology (such as civil, mechanical, electrical, or chemical engineering), puts the laws of nature to practicaluse on building better structures and machines for the comfort and convenience of men. When a man learns some new fact by research in pure science, we say that he has made a scientific discovery. 98) When he puts an earlier discovery to some practical use, in a new and original way, we say that he has made an invention. In the two hundred years since the beginning of the great change that we call the Industrial Revolution, developments both in pure and in applied science speeded up in a way that the world had never before seen. All the sciences leaped forward, neck and neck like horses in a race. (99) At one time, one pulled ahead; then another caught up with and passed it. An invention in one field made possible some discovery in another; and that discovery, in turn, permitted another new application of science for the benefit of man. (100) For example: the invention of the microscope led to the discovery of germs; eventually, the germ theory of disease made possible the curing of many ills for which no effective treatment had ever before been know.答：96. 理论科学研究宇宙怎样运行，生命怎样发展成为我们今天在地球上所看到的植物和动物。

The old fellow had some drawings that he wanted Rossetti to look at and tell him if they were any good, or if they at least showed potential talent. Rossetti looked them over carefully. After the first few, he knew that they were worthless, showing not the least sign of artistic talent. But Rossetti was a kind man, and he told the elderly man as gently as possible that the pictures were without much value and showed little talent. He was sorry, but he could not lie to the man. The visitor was disappointed, but seemed to have expected Rossetti' s judgment. He then apologized for taking up Rossetti' s time, but would he just look at a few more drawings — these done by a young art student? Rossetti looked over the second group of drawings andimmediately became enthusiastic over the talent they revealed. " These," he said, "oh, these are good. This young student has great talent. He has a great future if he will work hard and stick to it." Rossetti could see that the old fellow was deeply moved. "Who is this fine young artist?" he asked. "Your son?" "No," said the old man sadly. "It is me —40 years ago. If only I had heard your praise then! For you see, I got discouraged and gave up — too soon."（分数：10.00）(1).An old man asked Rossetti to______.（分数：2.00）A.draw a picture for himB.teach him how to paintC.evaluate his drawings √D.help improve his painting skills解析：(2).Which of the following could be best said about Rossetti?（分数：2.00）A.Critical.B.Sincere. √C.Stubborn.D.Creative.解析：(3).How did the old man respond to Rossetti' s negative comment?（分数：2.00）A.He was angry and desperate.B.He was surprised and disappointed.C.He was discouraged, but took it calmly. √D.He was hurt, but could do nothing about it.解析：(4).Rossetti said that the young art student______.（分数：2.00）A.would have a bright future √B.had some potential, but not great talentC.was as talented as the old manD.showed little talent in painting解析：(5).What does the story try to tell us?（分数：2.00）A.Never give up too easily. √B.No pains, no gains.C.Early bird catches the worm.D.It' s never too old to learn.解析：Saving energy means saving money. Homeowners know this basic fact, but they often don' t know what kinds of adjustments they can make in their houses and apartments that will result in savings. For those willing to spend some time and money to reap long-term energy savings, an energy assessment is the way to go. An energy assessor will come into your home and assess its energy efficiency. The assessor will find out areas of your home that use the most energy and offer solutions to lower your energy use and costs. Trained energy assessors know what to look for and can locate a variety of problems that may be resulting in energy inefficiency, including inadequate insulation(隔热), construction problems, and uneven heat distribution. There are quicker and less costly measures that can be taken as well. One way to save money is to replace bulbs with fluorescents(荧光灯). This can result in a saving of more than 50% on your monthly lighting costs. When it' s time to replace old appliances, it' s wise to spend a bit more for an energy-efficient model, and be sure that you are taking advantage of energy-saving settings already on your current refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, or dryer. Windows provide another opportunity to cut your energy costs. Fill the holes or cracks of old windows that might be leaky to let in coldwind, and choose double-paned (双层)windows if you' re building an addition or replacing old windows. Most areas of your home or apartment offer opportunities to save energy and money. The results are significant and are well worth the effort.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, which of the following would an energy assessor do?（分数：2.00）A.Change your light bulbs.B.Fix construction problems.C.Replace your old appliances.D.Check your heating system. √解析：(2).As is implied in the passage, energy assessment is______.（分数：2.00）A.free of chargeB.worthwhile in the long run √C.absolutely necessaryD.kind of troublesome解析：(3).Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?（分数：2.00）ing fluorescent can cut 50% of the lighting costs.B.Energy efficient appliances should be used.C.A local energy company will send an energy assessor on request. √D.Some appliances have energy-saving settings.解析：(4).According to the passage, double-paned windows______.（分数：2.00）A.are energy efficient √B.can only be used as replacementC.are only used in new buildingsD.will lower your heating costs by 50%解析：(5).Which of the following best expresses the main idea of this passage?（分数：2.00）A.There are many things a homeowner can do to save energy and money. √B.Hiring an energy assessor will save energy and money.C.Homeowners don't know what they can do to save energy and money.D.Replacing windows and light bulbs are well worth the effort and cost.解析：Is Halloween celebrated where you live? In the United States and Canada, Halloween is widely known and celebrated every year on October 31. Halloween customs, though, can be found in many other parts of the globe. In some places holidays are celebrated that, although named differently, share similar themes: contact with the spirit world involving the spirits of the dead, the devil and angels. Personally, you may not believe in supernatural spirits. You might simply view taking part in Halloween and similar celebrations as a way to have fun and teach your children to explore their imagination. Many people, though, regard these celebrations as harmful for the following reasons:Firstly,Halloween is actually related to the prospect of contact with spiritual forces, many of which threaten or frighten. Likewise, many celebrations like Halloween have religious origins and are deeply rooted in ancestor worship(祖先崇拜). Even today, people around the world use these days to make contact with supposed spirits of the dead. Secondly, although Halloween has been viewed mainly as an American holiday, each year people in more and more countries have been adopting it. Many newcomers to the celebration, however, are unaware of the religious origins of Halloween symbols, decorations, and customs, most of which are related to supernatural beings and supernatural forces. Thirdly, thousands of people, who follow ancient Celts(凯尔特人), still call Halloween by the ancient name Samhain and consider it to be the most sacred night of theyear. Others don't realize it, while they're celebrating the Celtic holiday. In view of the foregoing, it is wise for you to know about the dark origins of Halloween and similar celebrations. Having this fuller understanding may help you decide whether to participate in these holidays.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the author, the theme of Halloween is to______.（分数：2.00）A.celebrate the harvest seasonB.spread religious teachingsC.contact the spirit of the dead √D.help children explore their imagination解析：(2).Many people regard Halloween celebrations as harmful because______.（分数：2.00）A.the celebrations can disturb the deadB.some of the celebration activities are frightening √C.children may be frightened by supernatural forcesD.some of the celebrations are very dangerous解析：(3).Those who celebrate Halloween without knowing its origins may______.（分数：2.00）A.not understand Halloween' s true meaning √B.act as strangely as the dead and the devilsC.ruin the atmosphere of the celebrationsD.change their religious beliefs解析：(4).According to the passage, Halloween was probably first celebrated by______.（分数：2.00）A.AmericansB.CanadiansC.IndiansD.Celts √解析：(5).The author' s purpose in writing this passage is to______.（分数：2.00）A.warn people not to celebrate Halloween any moreB.criticize the Halloween celebration activitiesC.tell people to be careful in deciding whether to celebrate Halloween √D.promote the tradition of Halloween and its celebrations解析：Americans use the term " college students" to mean students either in colleges or universities. Not only that, Americans almost never say "going off to university" or "when I was in university." That sounds British. Instead, they say "going off to college" and "when I was in college." College, university: what's the difference? Colleges and universities have many things in common. Both offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and sciences, for example. And both can help prepare young people to earn a living. But many colleges do not offer graduate studies. Another difference is that universities are generally bigger. They offer more programs and do more research. Another place of higher education, especially in technical areas, is an institute, like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Yet even an institute of technology can offer a wide choice of programs and activities. M.I.T. says that 75 percent of freshmen come there with a strong interest and involvement in the arts. Modern universities developed from those of Europe in the Middle Ages. The word "university" came from the Latin universitas, describing a group of people organized for a common purpose. "College" came from collegium, a Latin word with a similar meaning. In England, colleges were formed to provide students with places to live. Usually each group was studying the same thing. So college came to mean an area of study. The first American universities dividedtheir studies into a number of areas and called each one a college. This is still true. A college can also be a part of a university. For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University. Programs in higher learning can also be called schools, like a school of engineering or a medical school within university. You know, learning all these terms is an education in itself.（分数：10.00）(1).Americans use "college students" to refer to students either in colleges or universities, because______.（分数：2.00）A.there are more colleges than universities in AmericaB.colleges and universities are actually the sameC.both colleges and universities can offer degreesD.colleges and universities have many things in common √解析：(2).One of the differences between colleges and universities is that______.（分数：2.00）A.colleges do not do researchB.no college offers graduate studiesC.colleges often offer fewer programs √D.universities don't provide dormitories解析：(3).According to the passage, institutes______.（分数：2.00）A.cover no other areas but technical onesB.have functions similar to colleges and universities √C.provide 75% of their programs in technical areasD.are at a lower level of higher education解析：(4).The terms of "college" and "university" in Latin______.（分数：2.00）A.have similar meanings √B.mean quite differentlyC.refer to the same thingD.are confusing in English解析：(5).The main idea of this passage is to______.（分数：2.00）A.introduce the institutions in higher educationB.evaluate the institutions in higher educationC.clarify the institution terms in higher education √D.classify the institutions in higher education解析：三、 Vocabulary and Structure(总题数：21，分数：42.00)2.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences.

Each passage is followed by five questions orincomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C,D. You shoulddecide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer-Sheet.Passage 1A happy life and a meaningful life are not the same .Leading a happy life is associated with being a “taker”,while leading a meaningful life corresponds with being a “giver”.Happiness is about feeling good and getting what we want. People who are happy tent to think that life is easy. They are in good physical health and able to buy the things that they need and want. Happiness is about satisfying our needs and desires. The pursuit(追求) of happiness is often associated with selfish behavior. Animals have needs and desires and they can feel happy too. What sets human beings apart form animals is not the pursuit of happiness, but the pursuit of meaning, which is unique to humans.We can often find meaning in helping others or marking a sacrifice( 牺牲) for a “greater good”. Meaning often comes at the expense of happiness. When people have invested themselves in something bigger than themselves, they worry more and have higher levels of stress and anxiety in their lives than happy people. Volunteering ( 做义工） in rural schools, for example, is meaningful but also involves hardship.Happiness, like any emotion, is felt in the here and now --it eventually fades away .However, meaning is enduring. It connects the past to the present to the future.46.What is the main idea if the passage ？A. A happy life is basically different form a meaningful life.B. Leading a happy life is connected with being a “take”.C. Happiness is about feeling good and getting what we want.D. Meaning connected the past to the present to the future.47. Paragraph 2 tells us that the pursuit of happiness.A. sets humans apart form animalsB. is associated with selfish behaviorC. means to give up what one hasD. is unique to human being48. Form Paragraph 3 we know that.A. helping others can make our life meaningfulB. meaning comes together with happinessC. happy people have higher levels of anxietyD. volunteering in rural schools makes a happy life49. It is implied in Paragraph 4 that.A. meaning will disappear sooner or laterB. living a happy life means to be a “giver”C. happiness lasts a relatively short period of timeD. making a sacrifice for a “greater good” brings us happiness50. The passage is organized by.A. giving examplesB. making contrastsC. definingD. classifyingPassage 2Our traditional belief has it that morning larks are most likely to be healthy, wealthy and wise .But those who are to bed and early to rise do not always have the upper hand (占上风). Researchers have revealed that night owls(夜猫子) are generally brighter and wealthier than able to get up early in the morning.Experts examined the habits of 1,000 youngsters to determine whether they liked to stay up late and sleep in later in the morning, or preferred to go to bed early. School performance and inductive(归纳的) reasoning were measured and academic (学业的) ades in the major subjects were also taken into consideration.The results show that evening types score higher than morning types on inductive reason in which has been shown to be a good estimate of general intelligence and academic performance .The night owls also have a greater capacity to think conceptually (概念性地) and analyze. Such abilities have been linked to creative thinking, better jobs and higher incomes.Morning larks, however, often get better exam results in school, possibly because lessons are held at wrong time of day for night owls.51. The underlined expression”morning larks”in Paragraph 1refers to .A. birds which scream late at nightB. birds which sing early in the morningC. People who like to stay up late at nightD. people who are early to rise in the morning52. Traditionally, we hold that.A. Morning larks do not always have the upper handB. Nights owls are generally brighter and wealthierC. Morning larks tend to be healthy, wealthy and wiseD. Night owls often get better exam results in school53. Why did expels examine the teenagers on their habits?A. To measure their inductive reasoning.B. To measure their school performance.C. To determine whether they are night owls or not.D. To know their academic grades in major subjects.54. Paragraph 3 tells US that.A. night owls have a poorer capacity to analyzeB. night owls score higher on inductive reasoningC. morning larks are more likely to get better jobsD. morning larks are more likely to get higher incomes55. Morning larks often score higher in exams, possible because.A. they are generally brighterB. they are early to bed and early to riseC. they have a greater capacity to analyzeD. the arrangement of lessons fits their body clocksPassage 3While drunken driving may be decreasing, traffic safety experts remain troubled how to cope with another alcohol-related problem; drunken pedestrian( 行人) 。

Passage OneBallet training in Russia begins at age nine or ten Whatever the limitations of ballet in the Soviet Union, it is no wonder that Russian ballet dancers perform with ease leaps and lifts seldom attempted elsewhere, and that the standard of dancing in a Russian corps de ballet is far above that usually seen in other countries-nine years of ballet discipline is almost unheard of outside Russia.The period devoted to dance classes increases gradually from two or three hours a day to five or six. As in other institutions of higher learning, ballet students receive monthly government stipends in their last four years, varying from 160 to 200 rubles ($16 to $20). Of the thirty pupils to begin ballet each year, fewer than twenty-five usually graduate; the others drop out because of poor health or lack of ability.Upon graduation, the starting salary for members of a corps de is 100 rubles a month, while prima ballerinas receive 6000. Russia's most famous ballet company, the Bolshoi, has first pick of each graduating class, but few dancers have the good fortune to begin with this company; all graduates, however, are assured of jobs in ballet.Stars such as Ulanova were produced in this fashion, with training started early and security, if not intellectual independence, guaranteed.51、 Ballet training in Russia begins when a child ______.A. begins schoolB. is in the primary schoolC. finishes his academic workD. can walk52、 Long training has enabled Russian ballet dancers to ______.A. give unusually long performancesB. develop new ballet figuresC. perform leaps and lifts seldom seen elsewhereD. overcome the limitations of ballet in the U.S. S.R.53、 According to the selection, Russian corps de ballet has ______.A. unusually high standards of dancingB. greater discipline than the companies in any other countryC. more applicants than corps de ballet companiesD. more professional dancers than most ballet companies54、 The students who graduate are assured of ______A. economic securityB. intellectual independenceC. 6000 rubles a monthD. both A and BPassage TwoFor most people, life is easier and more comfortable than ever before. Convenient foods from the supermarket simplify shopping and cooking. Household appliances like the vacuum cleaner and the washing machine have taken the drudgery out of housework. Released from these household chores, many wives have found jobs outside the home. Women are achieving economic independence.Families, too, are simpler today. In America, it is not customary for parents to live with their married children. With our greater mobility, relatives have scattered, the parents retiring to Florida or Arizona and the young people, after they marry, going wherever their jobs or their parents or their interests take them.Young adult women have new freedom, too. While attending college, they often live away from home, sometimes far from their parents or their relatives.After college, they move to the city, find a job, and set up a bachelor apartment. This is the era of women's liberation.But all this freedom and affluence (富裕) have had an unforeseen and in some aspects a devastating (破坏的) effect on marriage.55、 In the US, families are becoming ______.A. biggerB. smallerC. easierD. freer56、 Why are women able to achieve economic independence? ______A.

Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage oneWhat do you use to get around town? A cat? A bike? Your feet? Perhaps you should try a Segway!The Segway is perfect for short journey. It is an electric vehicle that consists of a platform between two wheels, with a pole that connects the platform to the handlebars. To ride it, you step up onto the platform, and control the Segway by moving your body. Lean forwards to go faster, and backwards to slow down.On older models, direction is controlled by a twist grip（扭转把手）on the left handlebar. This varies the speeds between the two motors, a decrease in the seed of the left wheel would turn the Segway to the left. With never models you simply lean to the left or right. Meanwhile, a gyroscope （陀螺仪）detects your movements and prevents the machine form falling over. The Segway has a maximum speed of 19 km per hour and a range of about 38 km. After that, you need to plug it in and recharge the battery.Segways are used for a variety of purposes. People with mobility problems can now enjoy walks in the country with their friends and family. Some golfers use them as an alternative to the golf cart. And dog owners now have an easier way to take the dog to the park. A few police forces use Segways, too. They allow officers to move quickly whilst maintaining contact with the public.They are also becoming a common sight on airport. However, the most popular use is in tourism, particularly for city tours. Visit any major tourist city in summer, sit outside a cafe for a while and there is a good chance you will see a group of tourists passing on Segways.36.What is the Segway according to this passage?A.

When a Segway is usefulPassage TwoNancy Bright and her husband John had been working overtime and saving for a long time so that they could pay the advance for Nancy’s dream house. Today was the day that they had enough money in hand to make a down payment on the house. But the real estate （房地产）agent informed them that she had received another offer for the house. Although the other offer was slightly less than that of Nancy and John’s, that person with the new offer was willing to pay the whole amount at once .The owner, in urgent need of money, wanted to accept the second offer. Nancy and John looked at each other with disappointed looks. They walked back home feeling very low about having lost the house. Soon they recovered and involved themselves into their daily lives, though once in a while Nancy would sink into a mild depression over losing the house. One day Nancy woke up in the morning feeling even lower than usual. She kept feeling sick, even lost interest in her routine coffee. She pull all these symptoms down to the stress of working hard and losing her dream house. A week passed and she seemed to get worse. John was worried and insisted on taking her to the doctor. The doctor, after taking a few tests, informed them with a huge smile that Nancy was two months pregnant! John and Nancy were overjoyed but also worried about not having their own house before the baby was born.One evening Nancy wandered into the street where her dream house was, and as she passed byit, she was surprised to see that there were notices stuck on all the house. On closer examination she found that the notices were for all the residents to move out of the house as they were building a highway and the whole row of the houses needed to be pulled down. Nancy suddenly realized that not getting her dream house had been a blessing in disguise. She thanked God and decided to be happy with the blessings she had and started looking forward to the birth of her child.40.Why did Nancy and her husband lose their dream house?A.They couldn’t pay the whole amount for the house at once.B.Someone else offered more money for the house.C.They couldn’t afford the advance for the house.D.The house owner decided not to sell the house.41.How did they feel after they lost their dream house?A.They felt sorry and hardly recovered.B.They felt relieved but with little regent.C.They enjoyed their daily lives all the same.D.They were depressed but tried to adjust themselves.42.What did Nancy find about the house one day?A.It would be on sale again.B.It would be pulled down.C.It had been redecorated.D.It had been emptied.43.What does the phrase “a blessing in disguise” in the last paragraph mean?A.A good luckB.A dirty trickC.A secret wishD.A false alarmPassage ThreeMost of the guests who come on our trips have never been to Egypt before. We want to make everyone comfortable and at ease, but we do always get the same question in advance of a trip. So here I will give you some travel tips.What should I wear?If you are lucky enough to visit Egypt between November and February, pack a sweater. You’ll need it --the desert gets chilly at night.. During the day, the temperature will be agreeable and comfortable. Any other time, pack as if you are going to phoenix or Vegas in August. For the ladies bathing suits are normal if there’s a pool where you’re going, but leave the string bikini at home --it is a Muslim country, after all. Last, if you’re planning on visiting any mosques or certain parts of upper Egypt, ladies will need to plan on bringing something that comes at least to the elbows, and no shorts for men or women in those areas.What special things do I need to pack?One of my favorite things in the world to bring to Egypt is an Evian Mister, a sprayer with a fine mist of Evian water. You may be able to find it in your local drug store. Spray a little on yourface or head, and your body temperature will feel like it’s dropped 10 to 15 degrees. Other items include your camera, sun block and extra batteries.How do I communicate with home?Internet cafes are plentiful everywhere, especially in Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria. If you have international calling on your phone, you should be able to use it----AT&T and sprint both work internationally for sure, but may sure you have the international coverage. A satellite phone is best if you are certain to need coverage in the middle of the country, like while sailing up the Nile, but for most people these days a cell phone is fine.What medical preparation do I need?In a word: none! The one thing you may come down with in Egypt is politely called “Pharoah’s Revenge” The thing that knocks out Pharoah’s Revenge is a regionally produced medicine ,and is available at every drugstore for $ 1 a box. DON’T drink local water, DO drink bottled water, avoid the skins of fresh vegetables, and you will be fine.44.What clothing is proper for ladies visiting a mosque?A.string bikinisB.Long-sleeve closesC.Bathing suitsD.Shorts45.What’s the use of an Evian Mister?A.to relieve your thirstB.To prevent sunburnsC.To cool yourself downD.To drive away insects46.What information is provided about distance communication?A.A cell phone is enough for most people.B.AT&T and sprint offer free service in Egypt.C.A satellite phone does not work in Mid-Egypt.D.Internet cafes are only available in big cities.47.What does “Pharoah’s Revenge” probably refer to in the last paragraph?A.A curseB.A legendC.DiseaseD.Vegetable缺passage four49.

The rich should help the poorB. One good turn deserves anotherC. Kindness is the greatest wisdomD. A kindness shown, a kindness sownPassage FiveWhatever you do, don’t challenge a chimpanzee named Ayumu to a number memory game.In 2007, Ayumu became famous for his lightning speed at a game that goes like this: A player views a computer screen where the numbers 1 through 9 appear briefly at once and then turn to white squares. The player then taps the squares where the numbers had been, in order from 1 to 9.People can do it. But no human competitor has ever completed the game faster or more accurately than Ayumu the chimp. For almost five years Ayumu remains undefeated. Psychologist Nicholas Humphrey of Darwin College at Cambridge University in England now thinks he knows the secret behind the chimp’s ability. Humphrey suspects Ayumu’s brain may have a condition that allows the chimp to see numbers as colors. This would mean that Ayumu may see a color glow after the numbers disappears. Then, instead of remembering the numbers, he remembers a sequence of colors, each associated with a number.The condition that Humphrey believes Ayumu may have is called synesthesia. Humans with synesthesia may associate numbers and letters with colors. For example, a person may see the number “5”as the color blue. Until now, scientists had assumed only humans could have synesthesia.Humphrey found the inspiration for his idea at a 2011 scientific conference. There, he heard a presentation about Ayumu’s memory abilities and another talk about synesthesia. He then put the two ideas together.Not everyone is convinced that Humphrey is correct. Primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa of the Primate Research Institute at Kyoto University in Japan has spent decades studying the amazing memories of chimpanzees, including Ayumu. He maintains that chimps simply have faster memory recall than people.52.What is Ayumu famous for?A.His gift in playing computers.B.His talent in calculating numbers.C.His skill in tapping the numbered squares.D.His amazing performance in memory game.53.Which of the following is true of Nicholas Humphrey?A.He thinks Ayumu has an amazing memory.B.He believes that Ayumu sees the colors of numbers.C.He was inspired by Primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa.D.He delivered a speech on synesthesia at the 2011conference.54.Where does Humphrey get the inspiration for his idea?A.From an experimentB.From a conferenceC.From a research on chimpanzeesD.From the color blue55.How does Tetsuro Matsuzawa explain Ayumu’s performance in the game?A.Ayumu uses synesthesia.B.Ayumu is cleverer than most chimps.C.Chimps recall things faster than people.D.Chimps are good at dealing with number.E.Ⅴ.Daily Conversation (15 points)Direction: Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogue by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.I’m very pleased to be hereB.
