They do all kinds of things that you do not even notice. For example, the simple, ordinary food that everybody must buy, like bread, milk, flour, and vegetable oil, is spread all over the store. You have to walk by all the moreinteresting-and more expensive-things in order to find what you need. The more expensive food is in packages with bright colored pictures. This food is placed at eye level so you see it and want to buy it. The things that you have to buy anyway are usually located on a higher or lower shelf. However, candy and other things that children like are on lower shelves. One study showed that when a supermarket moved four products from floor to eye level, it sold 78 percent more. Another study showed that for every minute a person is in a supermarket after the first half hour, she or he spends $50. If someone stays forty minutes, the supermarket has an additional $5.00. So the store has a comfortable temperature in summer and winter, and it plays soft music. It is a pleasant place for people to stay and spend more money. Some stores have red or pink lights over the meat so the meat looks redder. They put light green paper around lettuce (生菜) and put apples in red plastic bags. So be careful in the supermarket. You may go home with a bag of food you were not planning to buy. The supermarket, not you, decided you should buy it.46．Marketing specialists study______.A．plants suitable for human needsB．how to build shelvesC．method of selling more productsD．how to own supermarkets正确答案：C47．The more expensive kind of food is______.A．in bright-coloured packagesB．on high shelvesC．all near the front of the storeD．on lower shelves正确答案：A48．According to the selecting, children’s books are probably______.A．on low shelvesB．on high shelvesC．spread all over the storeD．sold in supermarket正确答案：A49．A supermarket plays soft music because______.A．people like to listen to itB．the store has a comfortable temperatureC．it will make people spend more moneyD．it will remind people to buy the things they want正确答案：C50．A good way to save money in a supermarket is to______.A．go just before dinnerB．buy things that are in the prettiest packagesC．walk around and see what you needD．make a list of what you need before you go正确答案：DAlthough each baby has an individual schedule of development, general patterns of growth have been observed. Three periods of development have been identified (确定) , including early infancy (幼儿期) , which extends from the first to the sixth month; middle infancy, from the sixth to the ninth month; and late infancy, from the ninth to the fifteenth month. Whereas the newborn is concerned with his or her inner world and reacts primarily to hunger and pain in early infancy, the baby is already aware of the surrounding world. During the second month, many infants are awake more and can raise their heads to look at things. They also begin to smile at people. By four months, the baby is searching for things but not yet grasping them with its hands. It is also beginning to be wary(谨慎的) of strangers and may scream when a visiting relative tries to pick it up. By five months, the baby is grabbing objects and putting them into its mouth. Some babies are trying to feed themselves with their hands. In middle infancy, the baby concentrates on practicing a great many speech sounds. It loves to imitate actions and examine interesting objects. At about seven months, it begins to crawl, a skill that it masters at the end of middle infancy. In late infancy, the baby takes an interest in games, songs, and even books. Progress toward walking moves through standing, balancing, bouncing in place, and walking with others. As soon as the baby walks well alone, it has passed from infancy into the active toddler (蹒跚学步) stage.51．What is the main subject of this reading passage?A．Growth in early infancy.B．The active toddler.C．How a baby learns to walk.D．The developmental stages of infancy.正确答案：D52．When does a baby take an interest in books?A．After nine months.B．At two months.C．After five months.D．In middle infancy.正确答案：A53．What would a six-month-old baby love to do?A．Smile at people.B．Grawl on the floor.C．Imitate actions.D．Play simple games.正确答案：C54．The meaning of the word “grasp” in line 8 of paragraph 1 is______.A．watchB．likeC．holdD．fear正确答案：C55．When does a baby became frightened of unfamiliar people?A．In early infancy.B．In middle infancy.C．In late infancy.D．In the toddler stage.正确答案：AHemingway was born in Illinois, his family took him as a boy on frequent hunting and fishing trips and so acquainted him early with the kinds of virtues (美德) such as courage and endurance, which were later reflected in his fiction (文学作品) . After high school, he worked as a newspaper reporter and then went oversea to take part in World War I. After the war he lived for several years in Paris, where he became part of a group of Americans who felt strange from their country. They considered themselves a lost generation. It was not long before he began to publish the powerful novel “The Sun Also Rises”. His subjects were often war and its effects on people, or contests, such as hunting or bullfighting, which demand stamina and courage. Hemingway’s style of writing is striking. His sentences are short, his words simple, yet they are often filled with emotion. A careful reading can show us, furthermore, that he is a master of the pause. That is, if we look closely, we see how the action of his stories continues during the silences, during the times his characters say nothing. This action is often full of meaning. There are times when the most powerful effect comes from restraint (适度). Such times occur often in Hemingway’s fiction. Heperfected the art of expressing emotion with few words.56．The word “stamina” in the last line of paragraph 1 can most probably be replaced by______.A．moneyB．timeC．energyD．weapon正确答案：C57．Hemingway might have two kinds of special qualities—courage and endurance—because______.A．he trained himself through hard work in his childhoodB．he got some special trainings while growing upC．his parents often took him on hunting and fishing tripsD．he suffered a lot in his childhood正确答案：C58．The topic sentence of paragraph 2 is______.A．Hemingway’s style of writing is strikingB．He is a master of the pauseC．He perfected the art of expressing emotion with few wordsD．Hemingway is a famous writer正确答案：A59．“A lost generation” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to______.A．a generation full of hopeB．the sad and confused young menC．a big crowd of young menD．a group of people who have lost their way正确答案：B60．Hemingway preferred short and simple sentences in his writings because______.A．he could not arrange long and complicated sentences wellB．he was afraid that his readers would misunderstand him if he wrote long sentencesC．short sentences are easier to writeD．this is his style of writing he is good at正确答案：DTrees have a spectacular (壮丽的；奇观的) survival record. Over a period of more than 400 million years, they have evolved as the tallest, most massive, and longest-lived organisms ever to inhabit the Earth. Yet trees lack a means of defense that almost every animal has: trees cannot move away from destructive forces. Because they cannot move, all types of living and nonliving enemies—fire, storms, microorganisms, insects, other animals and, later, humans—have wounded them throughout their history. Trees have survived because their evolution has made them into highly compartmented (分隔的) organisms: that is, they wall off injured and infected wood. In that respect trees are radically different from animals. Fundamentally, animals heal, they preserve their life by making billions of repair, installing (安置) new cells or rejuvenated (恢复活力的) cells in the positions of old ones. Trees cannot heal; they make no repairs. Instead, they defend themselves from the consequences of injury and infection by walling off the damage. At the same time they put new cells in new positions; in effect, they grow a new tree over the old one every year. The most obvious results of the process are growth rings, which are visible on the cross section of a trunk, a root, or a branch.61．The author’s main purpose in this article is to explain the______.A．life cycle of a treeB．way trees surviveC．importance of trees to human progressD．dangers trees face from natural disasters正确答案：B62．The author describes trees as all of the following EXCEPT______.A．tallB．greenC．massiveD．long-lived正确答案：B63．The author implies that almost every animal is able to protect itself from destructive forces by doing which of the following?A．Moving away.B．Calling for help.C．Climbing up a tree.D．Remaining with its group.正确答案：A64．As it is used in the last sentence of Paragraph 1 , the pronoun “they” refers to______.A．enemiesB．animalsC．humansD．trees正确答案：D65．According to the context of the passage, you can guess the meaning of the verb “evolve” is______.A．(of people or animals) reach the stage of full developmentB．breed (farm animals) ; grow or produce (crops)C．(of plants, animals, etc. ) gradually develop from a simple form to a more complex oneD．(cause somebody /something) to grow gradually正确答案：CSection ADirections: Translate the following English into Chinese.66．We need not wish for what we don’t have, but enjoy what we do possess today.正确答案：我们无需渴求得不到的东西，而应珍惜今天已经拥有的。

spider,which lives in the hot, thick rain forests of northern South America.Bird-eating spiders are a type of tarantula(狼蛛).They can bite,and the bite is painful,but it will not kill a grown-up.The poisonous bite of a black widow spider is far more dangerous.Bird-eating spiders often hide in holes and under rocks during the day,but at night they creep out and hunt for insects.As you might guess

literature is better known or more loved than Amuel Lang home Chemens born in1835.He grew up in the banks of the Mississippi River and used the pen name of“Mark Twain”.The two novels brought him his greatest fame:Toni Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Another book,Life on the Mississippi,told of his adventures on the river boats of the period.It was during the Civil War that Mark Twain’s life as a writer started.At that time he was working as a newspaper man in Nevada and California.His short story,The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County,was an immediate success and his new life began.In1870,Mark Twain married Olivia Langdon.He had fallen in love with his wife even before he met her.His wife had a greet influence on Twain’s later books.Mark Twain was also a very successful lecturer.His travels around the country giving talks on different kinds of subjects helped make him famous and increased the sale of his books.Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are considered Twain’s best works.They are marked by humor and satire（讽刺刺⽂文学，讽刺刺）and provide his readers with an excellent picture of his time.

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

Geographers compare and contrast various places on the earth. But they also go beyond the individual places and consider the earth as a 36 . The word geography 37 from two Greek words, ge, the Greek word for "earth" and graphein, 38 means "to write." The English word geography means "to describe the earth." Some geography books focus on a small area like a town or city.Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or an 39 continent. Many geography books deal with the whole earth. Another wayto divide the study of 40 is to distinguish between physical geography and cultural geography. The former focuses on the natural world; the 41 starts with human beings and studies how human beings and their environment act upon each other. But when geography is considered as a single subject, 42 branch can neglect the other.A geographer might be described 43 one who observes, records, and explains thedifferences between places. If places 44 alike, there would be little need for geographers.We know, however, 45 no two places are exactly the same. Geography, then, is a point of view, a special way of looking at places.36.

(阅读理解，前两篇每题2分，后两篇每题3分，共50分)Passage 1. （某些远程教育学校《大学英语》考试曾采用过此篇阅读理解，很简单）I remember quite clearly the first time I was really shaken by my wife’s intuition.We were looking for a second-hand car, and I had been much taken by a rather nice drop-head with a well-cared-forappearance.“Well, she runs nicely,” I told my life after the try-out. “Good start-up, engine sounds sweet, low mileage and the right price. What do you think?”“I don’t like it.”“Why not?”“I don’t know. There’s just something about the salesman that I don’t believe.”A few weeks after we had bought another car elsewhere, I happened to find out the history of the drop-head. It had been seriously damaged in a crash before we saw it, and cleverly done up. The car was, indeed, a very bad risk.Of all the things about women that their husbands do not understand, perhaps the biggest question is this: How can she often be right about things of which she has absolutely no knowledge? How does a wom an’s intuition work? What is this strange power that tells her exactly when her husband isn’t working late on business, however honest he pretends to be? Is it guesswork, or some sixth sense that men don’t have?46. When was the “first time” the husband felt “really shaken” by his wife’s intuition?A.When they bought another car.B.When he learned about the history of the drop-head..C.When he realized she knew so much about cars.D.When his wife spoke about the salesman.47. What does a person’s intuition re fer to according to this passage?A.The ability to see through things.B.The ability to make a quick decision.C.The ability to pick out the best one among a number ofthings.D.The ability to know something by using one’s feelings.48. Why didn’t the man know that the car was damaged at first?A.The damage was not serious at all.B.He was not careful enough.C.It had been skillfully repaired.D.The salesman only tried it out smoothly.49. What answer does the writer give to a woman’s intuition?A.It is simply a blind guess. C. It must be the sixth sense.B.It is a special kind of knowledge. D. He doesn’t really answer the question.50. From the passage we learn that the salesman was _____.A. cheatingB. honestC. helpfulD. kindPassage 2. (出自上海教育出版社《大学英语四级阅读200篇》第12篇)Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behavior for a man to smoke on street. No man who thought of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't it matter? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should leave one in your lap or on the table?The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. Forexample, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is , if a dinnerinvitation is for 7 o'clock , the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable-----especially if they are your guests. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.51.If one has accepted a dinner invitation ,what should he do if he is to be late for the dinner?A. He should find an excuseB. He should ask for excuse.C. He should say sorryD. He should telephone to explain his being late.52."It would have been bad manners to make his guests feel foolish or uncomfortable." "Bad manners " means ________.A. uglyB. dishonestC. impoliteD. shameful53.which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?A. Social CustomsB. Social LifeC. American and British CustomsD. Promptness Is Important54.According to the text, the best host_______.A. tries his best to make his guests feel comfortableB. makes his guests feel excitedC. tries to avoid being naughty to his guestsD. tries to avoid being foolish55.The author of this article may agree with which of the following?A. The guest who ate his peas with a knifeB. The other guests who were amused or shockedC. The host who picked up his knife and began eating in the same wayD. None of the abovePassage 3. [ 某些高中（比如杭州二中）和某些大学大一英语曾用过的阅读，难度不大]Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress helps to bring it on. It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about it.Are we under-employed or overburdened with too many responsibilities? Do we have a right balance of work and leisure(闲暇)in our lives? Are our relationships with family, friends or fellow workers all they should be?All these things can be a cause of stress, and it is best to face them honestly, and to bring our frustrations( 失意)into the open.People who have a good row and then forget it are doing their health more good than those who bottle their feelings.If our self-examination has brought any causes of stress tolight, let us consider what we can do about them. It is possible to change jobs. We can make more leisure and fill it more happily, if we will accept a different living standard. We can improve our personal relationships by a different attitude. It is we who allow other people to make ourselves unhappy. Often the little things that disturb us are not worth an hour’s anger. The teaching in the Bible “ Let not the sun go down upon your wrath(anger)” is good advice from the health point of view as well as the religious.56. Which of the following statements is true?A.Freedom from responsibilities helps reduce stressB.Stress is the direct cause of cancerC.The cause of stress is worthy of serious studyD.Cancer is the number one killer in our society today57. According to the passage, which of the following types of people is more likely to suffer fromstress?A.People who have cancerB.People who like to quarrel with othersC.People whose living standards is lowD.People who have more responsibilities than they can handle58. Judging from the context, the word “row” in the third paragraph most probably means____.A. a noisy quarrelB. a very loud noiseC. a neat line of things side by sideD. a journey in a boat59. Which of the following is not mentioned as a way to reduce our stress?A.changing our jobsB.changing our attitude to little things that make us unhappyC.speaking out our frustrationsD.reading the Bible60. “Let not the sun go down upon you wrath” probably means______.A. Don’t let your anger last longB. Don’t get angry while the sun is going downC. Don’t get angry easily about little things.D. Don’t watch the sun set while you are angry.Passage 4. [某些远程教育学校(比如四川大学网络教育学院)《大学英语3》考试题]Scientists have developed a slimming（减肥）drug that successfully suppresses appetite and results in a dramatic loss of weight without any apparent ill effects.The drug interferes with appetite control and prevents the build-up of fatty tissue. Laboratory mice given the drug lost up to a third of their total body weight.Within 20 minutes of being given the drug, called C75, the mice lost interest in eating and survived apparently content on just 10 per cent of the food they would normally eat.As a result, mice taking the drug lost 45 per cent more weight than mice fed the same amount of food, which compensate for the lack of food by becoming more lazy.Scientists, from the Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, said that C75 is likely to produce a similar effect on humans because appetite control in brain is thought to be based on the same chemical pathways as those in mice.“We are not claiming to have found a fabled（神奇的）weight-loss drug. What we have found, using C75, is a majorpathway in the brain that body uses naturally in regulating appetite at least in mice,” said Francis Kuhajda, a pathologist and senior team member.61.The newly-developed drug _______.A.controls appetite and causes obvious weight lossB.reduces weight with some ill-effectC.interferes with appetite and builds up fatty tissueD.is still going through laboratory tests62.One of the reasons that the drug helps to lose weight is that _______.A.it helps mice sleep wellB.it keeps fatty tissue from growingC.it controls eatingD.it prevents overeating63.The mice taking C75 lose nearly half of their weight on the same amount of food become _______.A.more activeB.more lazyC.more aggressiveD.more noisy64.C75 is likely to produce weight-loss effect on humans because ______.A.mice and humans have similar brain structureB.human’s are likely to be more lazy t han miceC.human’s appetite is regulated through the same pathway as mice’sD.mice and human body use different pathways of appetite control65.What is the attitude of the scientists toward the slimming drug?A.indifferentB.excitingC.negativeD.confidentIV.

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

However,in primitive societies a system of barter was used.Barter was a system of direct exchange of goods.Somebody could exchange a sheep,for example,for anything in the market place that he or she considered to be of equal value.Barter,however,was a very unsatisfactory system of exchange,and various money systems developed based on goods that the members of a society recognized as having value.Cattle,grain,teeth,shells,salt,and tobacco had all been used. Precious metals gradually took over because,when made into coins,they were portable,durable, recognizable,and divisible into larger and smaller units of value.A coin is a piece of metal,usually disc-shaped,which bears lettering,designs or numbers showing its value.Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries,coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them,but most modern coins are based on face value–the value that the governments choose to give them,which doesn’t show the actual metal content.Coins have been made of gold,silver,copper,plastic and in China even from tealeaves. Most governments now issue paper money in the form of bills,which are really“promises to pay.”Paper money is obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern world. Checks and credit cards are being used increasingly,and it is possible to imagine a would where “money”in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be used.Even today,in the United States,many places,especially filling stations will not accept cash at night for security reasons. ()56.“Barter”(in Line2,Paragraph1)here means_______.A.exchanging goods for moneyB.exchanging goods for goodsC.exchanging a sheep for anything in the marketD.exchanging money for goods()57.Why were precious metals gradually used for making coins?A.Because they were durable and portableB.Because they were recognizableC.Because they were divisibleD.All of the above()58.Coins were given value according to the exact amount of metals contained in them____.A.before the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesB.after the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesC.during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuriesD.between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries()59.“Promises to pay”(Lines6-7,Paragraph2)means_______.A.possibilities to payB.necessities to payC.obligations to payD.opportunities to pay()60.A world without any money in the from of coins and paper is________.A.suitableB.possibleC.necessaryD.avoidableTask4(3points each;15points in all)Directions:This task is the same as Task I(No.61through No.65)In most lectures,several main ideas are presented.These are the concepts(思想)the lecturer wants the students to remember.Often the lecturer has a general idea that serves as an“umbrella”covering the other main concepts.The students’job,then,is to pick out the main concepts, including the“umbrella”ideal.Lecturers usually begin with an introduction.Sometimes the main concepts and the“umbrella”idea are briefly presented in the introduction;often they are not.Next comes the body of the lecture.It is here that the several main concepts are always presented.The final part of a lecture, the conclusion,is traditionally a summary of the main concepts.This is also the place where the “umbrella”idea can most easily be repeated,restated,restated,or even introduced for the first time.When a lecture is well organized,with a clear-cut beginning,middle and end,the main ideas are usually easy to pock out.When a lecture is not well organized,getting the gist of what is being said is quite difficult.Some lecturers are“long-winded”,taking a long time to come to the point. Others ramble on(杂乱地漫谈)and never seem to come to the point at all.61.While listening to a lecture,the students are expected to remember________.62.A lecture is usually made up of three parts-,______and_______according to this passage.63.Sometimes,both______and_______of a lecture are put forward in the introduction.64.A lecture with a neatly-planned_______,_______and________is said to be a well organized lecture.65.The summary is in_______of a lecture and it is also the place where the______is mostly mentioned again.IV.Translation(35points)(I)Translate the following sentences from English into Chinese(4points each for No.66 through No.68;6points for No.69;18points in all)mentioned again66.There is no general agreement about what can and should be done to solve the problem of pollution.67.Such networks as have been designed specially to enable people to send message to each other by computers are known as E-mail.68.of all living things,only human beings can choose where and how they want to live and then modify the physical environment to help themselves realize these choices.69.Some people believe that it is necessary for the government to take an active role in population planning because many people will not limit themselves to just one or two children.(II)Translate the following sentences from Chinese into English(4points each for No.70 through No.72;5points for No.73;17points in all)70.他认为退休以后就能集中精力干他喜欢的事了。

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

Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people is, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depend on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, t0 4 university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in their intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.61. If a child is born with low intelligence, he cans _ .A. not reaches his intelligence in his lifeB. goes beyond his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsC. still becomes a genius if he should be given special educationD. become a genius62. "If we take two unrelated people at random from the population" (Para. 2) means if we _ .A.choose two persons with different intelligenceB.choose two persons who are relativeC.take out two persons of close relationshipD.pick any two persons63. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately snows_ .A. the part that birth playsB. the importance of their positionsC. the role of environment on intelligenceD. the importance of their intelligence64. The writer is in favor of the view that man's intelligence is given to him_ .A. neither at birth nor through educationB. both at birth nor through educationC. through educationD. at birth65.

Comprehension(50points)Task1(2points each;I0points in all)Directions:After reading the following passage,you will find5questions or unfinished statements(No.46through No.50).For each question or statement there are4choices.You should make the correct choice and put the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken,not written.In the schools of Ancient Greece and Rome,testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages,students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special studyof the subject.This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates(考生)for the doctor’s degree.Generally,however,modern examinations are written.The written examination,where all Students are tested on the on the same questions,was probably not known until the nineteenth century.Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern Industry,A room full of candidates for a state examination,timed exactly by electric clocks and Carefully watched over by managers,resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory.Certainly,,during examinations teachers and students are expected to act likemachines.One type of test ins sometimes called an objective test.It is intended to deal with facts,not personal opinions.T o make up an objective test the teacher writhes a series of questions,each of which has only one correct answer.Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.46.In the Middle Ages students________.A.took objective testsB.were timed by electric clocksC.specialized in one subjectD.never wrote exams47.The main idea of paragraph3is that_______.A.workers now take examinationsB.the

concluded that testing_____.A.should test only opinionsB.has hanged since the Middle AgesC.should always be writtenD.is given only in factoriesTask2(2points each;10points in all)Directions:This task is the same as Task I(No.51through No.55) He lived in the16th century.A few things,but not really that many,are known about his Life.And yet around the comment is unanimous:he was the greatest writer who ever lived.His name was William Shakespeare.Shakespeare was born in1564in a little town called Stratford–upon-Avon.When he was in his twenties,he made his way to London.There he spent most of his working life.The theater was every popular at that time,and son Shakespeare was writing plays for them.(He also acted in some of the plays.)In1599the company built the famous Globe Theater.There Shakespeare wrote and acted until he retired in about1607.Shakespeare wrote three kinds of plays:comedies,tragedies,and histories.Many of the comedies involved mistaken identities,women pretending to be men,and slapstick(滑稽剧)situations.One of his famous comedies is A Midsummer Night’s Dream.Shakespeare’s tragedies were often about a noble and honorable man who had one fault that helped bring about his downfall.Hamlet is an example.Shakespeare’s histories we re usually about kings of England, such as Richard IIIor Henry V.What made Shakespeare’s word so great?It was not necessarily his stories.Many were retellings of stories the audience already knew.But the way he told the stories was often remarkable.He understood the way people thought andacted,and he built this into his characters. Even though they were created400years ago,Shakespeare’s characters are believed today.Shakespeare’s use of language–such as his beautiful descriptions and his clear,to–the–point statements–also made him great.Hundreds of famous English sayings come from his plays. One example:“to be or not to be,this is a question.”51.This passage is mainly about_____A.the Globe TheaterB.theater in the1500sB.Shakespeare’s histories D.Shakespeare’s life and work52.Many of

there have been no accomplishments in their lives.In my first year of college especially,I saw people get themselves down all too quickly.There were two students in my class who failed the first test and seemed to give up immediately.From that day on,they walked into the classroom carrying defeat on their shoulders the way other students carried textbooks tinder their arms.Both students hang on until about mid-term.When they disappeared for good,no one took much notice,for they had already disappeared in spirit after that first test.They are not the only people in whom I have seen the self-doubt do its work.I have really wanted to shake them by the shoulders and say:“You are not dead.Be proud and pleased that you have brought yourself here to college.Be so meone.Breathe.Hope.Act.”Such people should not give up without even trying.56.The underlined phrase”get themselves down”(Para.1)probably means.A.Tell liesB.lose confidenceC.avoid dangersD.waste

million people in Austria,Denmark and Australia,scientists at the Max Plank Institute for Demographic(人口统计的)Research found the month of birth was related to life expectancy over the age of50.Seasonal differences in what mothers are during pregnancy(孕期),and infections occurring at different times of the year could both have an impact on the health of a new–born baby and could influence its life expectancy in older age.“A mother giving birth in Spring spends the last stage of her pregnancy in winter,when she will eat less vitamins than in summer,”said one of the scientists.“”When she stops breast–feeding and starts giving her baby normal food,it’s in the hot weeks of summer when babies have tendency to infections of tile digestive system.”In Austria,adults born in autumn lived about seven months born in spring by about four months.In the southern hemisphere,the picture is similar.“Adults born in the Australian autumn lived about four months longer than those born in the Australian spring.The study focused on people born at the beginning of the20th century,using death certificates and census data.Although nutrition(营养)at all times of the year has improved since then,the seasonal pattern persists.61．The passage is mainly about_________.A how the month of birth is related to life expectancyB.how the seasonal pattern affects the health of new–born babiesC how

As their children began moving up through the nation's schools, it became clear that a new class Of academic achievers was emerging Their achievements are reflected in the nation's best universities, where mathematics, science and engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their educations abroad arrived in the US with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English. Thy are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college, Asians feel they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree. Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer, An effective measure of parental attention is homework, Asian parents spend more time with their children than American parents do, and it helps, Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that breeds success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education Both explanations for academic success worry Asian-Americans because of fears that they feed a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation(隔绝). Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship61、While making tremendous achievements at college, Asian-American students_____A、feel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of EnglishB、are afraid that their academic successes bear a strong characterC、still worry about unfair treatment in societyD、general feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents62、What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian-Americans?A、A solid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian cultureB、Hard work and intelligenceC、Hard help and a limited knowledge of EnglishD、Asian culture and the American educational system63、Few Asian-American students major in human science mainly because_____A、their English is not good enoughB、they are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areasC、there is a wide difference between Asian and western culturesD、they know little about American culture and society64、why do the two "explanations"(Line1, para . 3)worry Asian-Americans?A、They are afraid they would again be isolated from American society in generalB、People would think that Asian students rely on their parents for successC、Asian Americans would be a threat to other minoritiesD、American academic achievements have taken on too strong an Asian character65、The author's tone in this passage is_______A、sympatheticB、doubtfulC、criticalD、objectivePassage TwoTelevision has now come to nearly every family. It has become a very Important part in people's life. School children in the US watch TV about 25 hours a week. Some people feel that television is good for children because it helps them learn about their country and the world. With the help of programs of education, children do better in school. Other people feel that there are too many programs about love and crime on TV, and that even programs of education don't help children a lot. Children simply watch too much television, so they don't do a lot of other important things for their education, children of three to six learn to speak their language and talk with people. When they are watching TV, they are only listening to the language , and they aren't talking with anyone. When school children watch TV, they read less, Because of this, they don't learn to read or write quickly at school. All children learn by doing, and they need time to play in order to learn about the world. When they watch TV, they play less. They also have less time to do with their parents and friends, and they have less time for sports. Recently, fifteen families in Denver decided to stop watch TV for a month or more.

Her bus had inched(蠕动) along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked "King Enterprises", she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no answer. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no reply. Form inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in. Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had had the interview with Mr. King, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking .At the far end of the room, somebody must have just told a joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her. Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his desk, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. King, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr. King arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35, so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.71、Marie felt nervous when she knocked at the door because_______A、it was her first day in a new jobB、she was a little bit late for workC、she was afraid that she had gone to the wrong placeD、there was no answer from inside the office72、Marie could hardly recognize the office she went into as ______A、she had been there only onceB、Mr. King was not in the officeC、Nobody was doing any workD、The office had a new appearance73、The people in the office suddenly started working because______A、they saw a stranger in the officeB、they had finished their morning breakC、no one wanted to talk to MarieD、the boss was about to arrive74、we can infer from the text that the employees of the enterprise______A、would start their work by listening to a jokeB、were cold to new comersC、were always punctual for workD、lacked devoting to the company75、the best title for this text would be ______A、Punctual Like a ClockB、A Cold WelcomeC、An Unpunctual ManagerD、Better Late ThanNever Passage Four Most animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for foof. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership which is good for both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites(寄生虫) on the sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together. Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other .this is so in the corals(珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants which act as "dustmen", taking some of the waste products from the coral and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from receiving light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die76、Some birds like to sit on a sheep because_____A、they can eat its parasitesB、they enjoy traveling with the sheepC、they depend on the sheep for existenceD、they find the position most comfortable77、The underlined word "they" in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to_____A、birds and parasitesB、birds and sheepC、parasites and sheepD、sheep, birds and parasites 78、we learn from the text that corals depend on plants for______79、what does the second paragraph mainly discuss? A、Some plants depend on each other for food B、Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily C、Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence D、Some animals live better together 80、The underlined part "giving in return oxygen" in the second paragraph means ______A、returning back the coral oxygen to the coralB、giving oxygen to the coral as debtsC、giving oxygen to the coral in exchangeD、producing oxygen for the coralⅤ.Close (20points)It is said that most adult second language learners will be lucky to acquire 5,000 words even after several years of study .(81) comparison a native speaker can usually have 20,000 words. This relatively slow progress has (82) to do with aptitude than with exposure.

For each question or statement there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You are required to make the correct choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Many post-80s couples are complaining that going to the movies, shopping or attending parties have become impossible since their kids were born. That' s the way most parents are living their lives, no weekends of their own, no time to visit friends, not even a chance of promotion in their jobs.Asking help from their parents might be a way out,but problems are that some aging parents are not strong enough to take care of the kids, and that the kids may also become too spoiled by their grandparents.Then, here comes a solution: families with kids can form a small group, and parents of each family can take turns to look after all the kids in this group on weekends. Thus, other parentscan have some quiet time and feel free to do something they' ve been planning for a long time. At the same time, the kids can make new friends and won' t be hanging around their parents all day long. This is baby-pooling.46. Many post-80s couples can't go to the movies, shop or attend parties because .A. they have to look after their kidsB. they have to look after their parentsC. they are busy with their workD. they have no money47.

All of the above.50. The passage mainly discusses .A. post-80s couples and their friendsB. post-80s couples and baby-poolingC. post-80s couples and their parentsD. kids and their grandparentsTask 2Directions : This task ( No. 51 to No. 55) is the same as Task l.It is a terrible illustration of man ' s weakness to nature ,and the tsunami(海啸) that struck the Japanese coast in March, 2011 has illustrated the difficulty of fighting against natural disasters, even for a prosperous nation.Totally preventing tsunami-damage is impossible. But there is much that can be done to minimize damage and loss of life. Measures that can be taken include designing solid buildings, and developing early-waming systems, public education programs and evacuation(疏散) strategies. Moreover, the approach of a tsunami is possibly picked up by the sensors of complicated international waming systems. Countries can use radio and television broadcasts as well as loudspeaker networks to warn the public.But an early waming system depends on how far the tsunami strikes, if it' s close by, the warning system is not going to be very effective. When people are faced with an unstoppable force like a tsunami the massive waves created by events like underwater earthquakes, the best course of action for them is to get inland and to the higher ground as quickly as possible.51. The first paragraph tells us that .A. man can easily defeat the natureB. tsunamis take place only in JapanC. man' s ability to cope with natural disasters is limitedD. the tsunami-damage in Japan is not so terrible52.

Approaching tsunamis can possibly be picked up by sensors.D. An early warning system is effective when a tsunami is close by.Task 3Directions : This task( No. 56 to No. 60) the same as Task l.Tuangou , also called team buying or group buying, is a recently developed shopping strategy starting in China. Severalpeople connect over the Internet and agree to contact a seller of a specific product so that they can buy the same item as a group at a lower price. And the sellers benefit by selling many products at once.When people agree on group buying,individual members of the buying group can vouch for (替………担保)a particular seller’s quality to the rest of the group,therefore Tuangou helps of similar phenomena in Euroupe and North America.However,most of the group buying in these places is organized and done not by the team members themselves,but through online go-betweens.56.

What does the word "go-betweens" mean in the last paragraph?A. Online shopping.B. Going from one place to another.C. Traveling between two places.D. Persons or companies that pass messages between sellers and buyersTask 4Directions: This task (No. 61 to No. 65) is the same as Task l.Facial expressions carry meanings that are partly determined by culture. For example, many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do, so teachers in the United States sometimes have trouble knowing whether their Japanese students understand and enjoy their lessons.Another example is the smile. As a common facial expression, it may show affection, convey politeness, or disguise(掩饰) true feelings. But in different cultures. smiles have different meanings. Many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even a suspicious behavior.Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places, for American culture a smile is typically an expression of pleasure. Therefore some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don' t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover emotional pain or embarrassment. Vietnamese people may tell the sad story of how they had to leave their country but end the story with a smile.61. The best title for this passage is .A. Russian CultureB.American CultureC.

You know how some of the older kids talk about taking this huge English exam called the Anhui Exam for upgrading to university? Well, my big cousin Mei just took it and she told me all about it. It sounded really hard and scary!Mei said the first part was listening to recordings and answering questions about what she heard. She had to listenreally carefully to conversations between people and then say who said what or what they were talking about. There were also lectures and she had to take notes on the important details. Mei loves listening to English music and movies so she said that part wasn't too bad for her.Then came the reading part which Mei said was the hardest. There were all these long passages about science, history, culture and other boring grown-up topics. She had to read them quickly and answer detailed questions to show she understood everything. Some of the words were so looooong and complicated! How do adults remember all those crazy vocabulary words? Mei stayed up late for weeks reading practice passages over and over again to get ready.After that was the writing section where Mei had to write a whole essay in English about some topic like environmental protection or modern technology. She had to make sure she used proper grammar, clear organization with an introduction and conclusion, and lots of fancy vocabulary words. No text messaging lingo allowed! Mei'sessays always ended up being so longand she had to write them in such a short time. My hand would've fallen off from all that writing!Finally, there was speaking where Mei had to have a conversation with a test grader and answer questions to prove her English skills. She practiced giving speeches and role-playing situations to prepare. I can't imagine having to speak perfect English to a stranger like that without getting tongue-tied. So nerve-wracking!Mei worked herself to the bone studying for months. She read practice tests, did loads of sample questions, listened to recordings over and over, and wrote practice essays until she was cross-eyed. On the day of the big exam, she was a nervous wreck! But she pushed through and made it to the end.A few weeks later, Mei got her score report in the mail. She ripped it open and...she passed! She was jumping up and down cheering. All that hard work paid off and now Mei can go to her dream university to get a bachelor's degree. Phew, I'm relieved she survived that crazy English exam!I'm just a kid so that test is still a loooong way off for me. But hearing how difficult it was makes me want to really buckle down and work hard on my English from now on. I'll study grammar rules, read books, watch movies, and listen to songs to get ready. Who knows, maybe I'll be the next one celebrating after acingthe big scary Anhui English exam! Anything's possible if you put your mind to it. Fighting!篇3Every Anhui Kid's Guide to the Big College English TestHi there! My name is Xinxin and I'm a 5th grader here in Anhui Province. My big sister just took the huge English test to try to get into a four-year university after going to a junior college. It's called the Anhui Associate's Degree Admission Exam and the English part is really hard! She let me look at some of the old test questions and I'll share what I learned.First up, there's always a listening section where you have to listen really carefully to conversations or lectures and answer multiple choice questions. One time, they played a conversation between two friends deciding what movie to watch. The question asked what genre of movie one of them preferred. You had to listen super closely because they mentioned a bunch of different genres like action, romance, comedy and more!Then there are reading passages you have to read very carefully and answer comprehension questions about. My sister showed me one about the history of the Olympics that was pretty interesting. It talked about how the ancient GreekOlympics started way back in 776 BCE and had events like running, wrestling, boxing and more. The questions asked things like where the Olympics originated, what events were included, and details about the history. You really have to read slowly and pay close attention.Another reading was about environmental issues like pollution, climate change, and endangered species. It used a lot of hard vocabulary words about science and nature that I had to ask my sister to explain. The questions would ask about the main idea, specific details stated in the passage, and what inference or conclusion you could make based on the information given. My sister says those inference questions are always really tricky!But enough about the reading and listening, let me tell you about the writing section! One question asked students to write a short essay giving their opinion on an issue. My sister's prompt was "Some people believe social media is harmful and should be avoided, while others believe it has more benefits than drawbacks. What is your perspective? Explain your view and provide examples to support it." She had to write a whole 5 paragraph persuasive essay arguing one side or the other and using details and examples to convince the reader of her viewpoint. Her essay was arguing that social media has morebenefits than negatives when used responsibly. Wow, that seems hard to me!Another writing task was to read a short passage about recent research on a topic. Then students had to write a summary of the key points and main conclusion in their own words. Being able to summarize academic articles clearly and concisely is a really important skill for university students, so no wonder they test it!But probably the hardest part was the grammar and vocabulary section. My sister showed me practice questions that tested all kinds of crazy grammar rules that I haven't learned yet in elementary school. Things like identifying dangling modifiers, parallel structure, gerund and infinitive phrases...I don't even know what half of that means! The vocabulary questions gave a difficult word from the passage and asked students to determine the meaning based on context clues and choose a close synonym. Some of those words I had never heard of at all!After looking at all those practice tests, I'm kind of nervous to take the big exam when I'm older! It covers such a wide range of reading, writing, listening and language skills at a really high level. My sister says doing lots of timed practice tests and learning test strategies was key to getting a high score. She alsohad to spend months reviewing grammar rules, growing her vocabulary, and practicing how to read difficult academic passages efficiently.Well, I've got about 8 more years until I'll be worrying about the Anhui Associate's Degree Admission Exam. But I'll be sure to start preparing nice and early by reading all the books I can, practicing my writing, and listening to English audio like podcasts and shows. Who knows, maybe I'll even start making up my own tricky grammar questions to quiz my friends! Gotta stay one step ahead of that scary English test. Wish me luck, and let me know if you need any other kid-friendly exam explanations!篇4English Exams for Upgrading to a Bachelor's Degree in Anhui ProvinceHi friends! I'm going to tell you all about the English exams that students in Anhui province have to take if they want to upgrade from a junior college to a bachelor's degree program. It's a pretty big deal because getting a bachelor's degree can help you get a better job later on. My older brother is trying to do this, so I've learned a lot about it.The English exam is just one part of the big test they have to take. There are other subjects too like math, politics, and computer skills. But English is a really important one, especially these days when knowing English can open up so many opportunities. That's why a lot of students study really hard to prepare for the English section.From what I've seen, the English exams always have a few different parts to test your skills. There is usually a listening comprehension section where you have to listen to recordings and answer questions about what you heard. My brother says those can be really tricky because the recordings use all kinds of accents and idioms. You really have to focus!Then there is a reading comprehension part with long passages that you need to read and answer questions about. The passages are on all sorts of topics like science, culture, global issues, and more. The questions ask specific details about the main ideas, the author's purpose, vocabulary in context, and making inferences. My brother underlines key details and take notes in the margins as he reads to help him remember important points.There is also a section to test your English writing skills. You usually have to write one longer essay on a given topic,demonstrating your ability to develop and support ideas with examples and reasoning. Proper grammar, vocabulary, organization and style are all evaluated. For this part, my brother practices outlining his essays and checking them over carefully.The last part is English grammar and vocabulary. This covers all the nitty-gritty rules of English, like verb tenses, parts of speech, sentence structures, and tons of vocabulary words. You have to know prefixes, roots, idioms, the whole nine yards! My brother has thick grammar books that he studies from.It sounds really hard, doesn't it? That's because it is! The students have to prepare super seriously for months. A lot of them take extra tutoring classes or join study groups in addition to their regular classes. They take a bunch of practice tests to get ready too.The exam is offered once per year, usually in late spring. Tens of thousands of students take it across Anhui province. My brother said the exam rooms are always completely silent except for the scratching of pencils. When each section starts, the tension is so high you could hear a pin drop!After the exam, the scores are given out a couple months later. You need a really high combined score from all sections to be eligible to upgrade to a bachelor's degree program. Just theEnglish section alone is weighted heavily. My brother is hoping to get one of the limited spots available. I've got my fingers crossed for him!Those are some of the key English exams that Anhui students have to master in order to move up to a four-year university degree. As you can see, the exams are no joke! They really put your entire English skills to the ultimate test.I remember a few years ago, my brother was studying some past exams to practice. The reading passages were crazy long and complex, filled with advanced vocabulary. And the grammar questions? Forget about it! I couldn't even understand what some of them were asking.One reading was all about the effects of drought on developing nations. Another was about archaeological digs and analyzing ancient artifacts. No joke, the questions were things like: "What can be inferred about the author's perspective on the value of material objects in understanding early human civilizations?" Um, what?!The listening sections weren't any easier. Try listening to a debate between professors about existential philosophy andsimultaneously anwering篇5Anhui Upgrading Tests - Totally Not Boring!Hi everyone! Today I'm going to tell you all about the Anhui upgrading from junior college to regular college English tests. I know, I know, tests sound super duper boring. But trust me, these ones are kind of fun! Well, as fun as a test can be anyway.Every year, lots of students in Anhui take these big important tests to try and get into a regular 4-year university from their junior colleges. The tests have all the normal subjects like math, Chinese, and whatever. But the English part is what I want to talk about today!The English tests are pretty long, but they have some neat sections. One part has reading passages where you read some stories or articles and then answer comprehension questions. That's kind of like what we do in class, but the passages are a bit harder. There are usually topics about science, history, culture, and other cool things.Then there are sections testing your vocabulary and grammar skills. Vocabulary is just fancy words for learning new English words. The grammar parts have questions on stuff likeverbs, adjectives, using prepositions properly, and all those grammar rules our teachers are always going on about.But my favorite part, and I bet it will be your favorite too, is the writing section! You have to write a short essay of around 100-150 words on a certain topic or prompt. How fun is that? One year the prompt was "If you could have any superpower, what would it be and why?" I would totally pick flying so I could soar over the schoolyard during recess.Anyway, enough about what's on the tests. You're probably wondering - what are the actual test questions and answers? Well, I can't spill all the beans and give away all the questions and answers. That wouldn't be fair! But I can give you an example or two to show you what it's like.Here's a sample reading comprehension question from last year's test:"According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about photosynthesis?A) It occurs only in plantsB) It requires carbon dioxide and waterC) It happens during the nightD) It releases oxygen into the air"The answer is B - photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil for plants to make their own food. Told you there would be some sciencey topics!For the grammar section, here's an example question:"Sally ___ to the park every Saturday.A) goB) goesC) goingD) gone"You probably know this one - the right answer is B) goes. Because Sally is just one person, not plural, so we use "goes" and not "go".As for the writing part, you'll just have to use your creativity and writing skills. Maybe the prompt will be "Describe your favorite holiday and why you enjoy it." Then you can write all about how you love Christmas because of the yummy cookies and opening presents!Well, that's a glimpse into what these Anhui upgrading tests are like. They have reading, vocabulary, grammar, writing, and all that good stuff to test your English skills. Just remember to study hard, get a good night's sleep before the test, and don't stress too much! You'll do great.If you work really hard and pass these tests, who knows? Maybe you'll get to go to a fancy university and become a scientist, writer, English teacher or whatever you want to be! The sky's the limit when you learn English well. Just keep practicing and having fun with it. After all, English can take you lots of cool places!Okay, that's all from me today. Let me know if you have any other questions about these tests. But for now, snack time!篇6English Past Papers and Answers for the Anhui College Entrance Exam - A Kid's ViewHi everyone! My name is Xiaoming and I'm 10 years old. I love learning English and I really want to go to a great university someday. My big sister is currently preparing for the Anhui College Entrance Examination for students who already have anassociate's degree. She's been studying really hard for the English part of the test.I got curious about what kinds of English questions are on the exam, so I asked her to show me some past papers. The questions look pretty hard for a 4th grader like me, but I'll do my best to explain them in simple terms!The reading section seems really tough. There are usually4-5 long passages about different topics like science, history, culture and more. The passages have lots of big vocabulary words that even my sister had to look up in the dictionary. After each passage, there are 10-15 comprehension questions testing if you understood the main ideas, details, writer's purpose and other tricky things.For example, one passage was about the history of the Silk Road trade routes across Asia and the Middle East. The questions asked things like "According to the passage, what was one major effect of the Silk Road?" and "The author implies that the Silk Road led to ___ between different cultures." I got lost just reading the passage, never mind answering those confusing questions!The listening section doesn't look much easier for a little kid like me. You have to listen to recordings of lectures, conversations, and other materials, then answer comprehensionquestions similar to the reading questions. Just reading the transcript for one lecture about black holes made my head spin. How am I supposed to understand all that advanced physics and astronomy?But my favorite part is the writing section because I love creative writing! For this part, you have to write an essay of a certain length responding to an opinion prompt. One previous prompt asked whether students should be required to learn an international language like English or if it's better to focus only on your native language.I would write all about how learning English opens up the world and lets you make friends from everywhere. You can read awesome books and watch cool movies and TV shows from America and Britain. Plus, you can travel anywhere without getting lost because English is spoken in so many places! But I can see there could be arguments for just sticking to your mother tongue too.The last part is the translation section where you have to translate sentences between Chinese and English in both directions. This is probably the hardest part for me since I'm still learning lots of vocabulary, grammar, and idiomatic expressionsin both languages. Things like slang, metaphors, and cultural references can be super tricky to translate accurately.Well, that's my amateur kid's summary of what the Anhui associate's degree English entrance exam is like. Just explaining it makes me feel exhausted, so I have a ton of respect for my hard-working sister and everyone else preparing for this challenging test. I'll just be over here reading Harry Potter and watching Peppa Pig to slowly build up my English skills. Someday I'll be ready to tackle that crazy difficult exam myself!。

They can bite, and the bite is painful, but it will not kill a grown-up.

However, in primitive societies a system of barter was used. Barter was a system of direct exchange of good. Somebody could exchange a sheep, for example, for anything in the market place that he or she considered to be of equal value. Barter, however, was a very unsatisfactory system of exchange, and various money systems developed based on goods that the members of a society recognized as having value. Cattle, grain, teeth, shells, salt, and tobacco had all been used. Precious metals gradually took over because, when made into coins, they were portable, durable, recognizable, and divisible into larger and smaller units of value.A coin is a piece of metal, usually disc-shaped, which bears lettering, designs or numbers showing its value. Until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, coins were given monetary worth based on the exact amount of metal contained in them, but most modern coins are based on face value—the value that the governments choose to give them, which doesn’t show the actual metal content. Coins have been made of gold, silver, copper, plastic and in China even from tealeaves. Most governments now issue paper m oney in the form of bills, which are really “promises to pay”. Paper money is obviously easier to handle and much more convenient in the modern world. Checks and credit cards are being used increasingly, and it is possible to imagine a world where “money” in the form of coins and paper currency will no longer be used. Even today, in the United States, many places, especially filling stations will not accept cash at night for security reasons.56. “Barter” (Line 2, Paragraph l) here means.A. exchanging goods for moneyB. exchanging goods for goodsC. exchanging a sheep for anything in the marketD. exchanging money for goods57.

Each passage is followed by a number of comprehension questions. Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer by blackening the correspondingletter on the Answer Sheet.1.It was a case of emergency. The four-year-old girl awoke and smelled smoke. She couldn’t wake her mother, so she dialed "zero" An operator immediately called the fire department. Help was sent, and a tragedy avoided. Days before this emergency, the mother had taught her child how to telephone for help. Children as young as two andone-half years old can be taught to use the phone in emergency situations. Here are some points. Memorizing certain facts is important. Teach your children their names, and the section of town where you live. Try to keep what they learn within their abilities. Simple information, learned well, is better than difficult information only partly learned. Be sure your children know how to use the telephone. They should be taught to dial "zero" for the operator, at the very least. And they should be taught to dial "911" if it is used in your town. Practice over a period of several days. Over-learning is necessary so the child can act automatically in case of emergency. If you would like a booklet giving instructions on calling for help, write Telephone For Help, BOX 99, Bowling Green Station, New York, NY 10004. From this passage, why is it a good idea for children to learn how to use the telephone?A．Children have fun dialing.B．Emergencies happen without warning.C．Children can wake their parents.D．Dialing can help children with their math study.2. Based on this passage, over-learning is good because ______.A．simple information is usedB．children should know their namesC．it helps children act automaticallyD．difficult information is only partly learned3. Paragraph 4 talks about dialing "911". This number is probably______.A．the operatorB．an emergency numberC．a practice number for childrenD．used to keep children calm4. One thing the passage does NOT tell you to do is ______.A．call your neighborB．practice several timesC．teach children how to use the telephoneD．have children memorize some simple facts5. What is the main idea of the passage?A．Give instructions on calling for help.B．Partly-learned information is useless.C．Teach children how to deal with emergencies.D．Keep what children learn within their abilities.7.I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember something about the victory celebrations in the small town where I lived on the day when the war in Europe ended. We had not suffered much from the war there. But both at home and at school I had become accustomed to the phrases "bef6re the war" and "when the war’s over". "Before the war", apparently, things had been better, though I was too young to understand why, except that there had been no bombsthen, and people had eaten things like ice-cream and bananas, which I had only heard of. When the war was over we would go back to London, but this meant little to me. I did not remember what London was like. What I remember now about VE ( Victory in Europe) Day was the May evening. After dinner I said I wanted to see the bonfire (大火堆), so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street. The bonfire was very high, and somehow people had collected some old clothes to dress the unmistakable figure with the moustache (胡子) they had to put on top of it. Just as we arrived, they set light to it. The flames rose and soon swallowed the "guy". Everyone was cheering and shouting, and an old woman came out of her house with two chairs and threw them on the fire to keep it going. I stood beside my father until the fire started to go down, not knowing what to say. He said nothing, either. He had fought in the First World War and may have been remembering the end of that At last he said, "Well, that"s it, son. Let"s hope that this time it really will be the last one." Where did the author live before the Second World War?A．In London.B．In a small town.C．In Europe.D．In the countryside.8. What kind of food had the author certainly not tasted during the war?A．BreadB．Butter.C．Meat.D．Ice cream and bananas.9. The unmistakable figure with the moustache most probablyrepresents ______.A．those who died in the warB．those who had wonC．an imaginary figureD．the most hated person in the war-Hitler10. Which of the following statements is true?A．The author"s father built a bonfire on VE Day.B．The author"s father had fought in the First World warC．The author"s father had fought in the Second World War.D．The author"s father threw two chairs on the fire to keep it going.11. By saying "Let"s hope that this time it really will be the last one", the father meant that ______.A．he wished people had not built the bonfireB．he hoped people would not build any more bonfiresC．he hoped there would be no more wars in the worldD．he wished the Second World War had not happened13.At the first sight the planet Mars does not appear very welcome to any kind of life. It has very little oxygen and water; the temperature at night is below -50℃and winds of 100 miles per hour cause severe dust storms. However, the surface of the planet seems to show that water flowed across it some time in the past, and it is believed that there is enough ice at the poles to cover the planet with water if it melts. Although there is no life on the Mars now, some scientists think that there may have been some form. of life long time ago. At that time, the planet had active volcanoes; the atmosphere was thicker and warmer;and there was water. In fact, in some ways the Mars may have been similar to the Earth, where life exists. Some people believe that the Mars could support life in the future if the right conditions were produced. The first step would be to warm the planet using certain gases which trap the Sun’s heat in the planet"s atmosphere. With warmth, water and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳), simple plants could begin to grow, These plants could slowly make the Mars more suitable for living. It is estimated that the whole process might take between 100,000 and 200,000 years. In the meantime, people could begin to live on the planet in special closed environments. They would provide a lot of useful information about conditions on the Mars and the problems connected with living there. Some scientists think there may have been life on the Mars in the past because ______.A．there is no life there nowB．there is a large amount of water at the polesC．the Mars may be able to support life in the futureD．conditions may have been similar to those on the Earth14. There could be life on the Mars in the future if ______.A．it supported life in the pastB．certain gases are used to cool the planetC．the atmosphere can be heated enough to grow simple plantsD．the planet’s volcanoes become as active as they were in the past15. People may be able to live on the Mars ______.A．within the next 200,000 yearsB．only 200,000 years from nowC．only 150,000 years from nowD．as soon as the planet becomes cool enough16. The author"s attitude towards the possibility of life on the Mars in the future is______.A．doubtfulB．positiveC．negativeD．uninterested17. Which is the best title for this passage?A．The Possibility of Life on the MarsB．Future Conditions on the MarsC．The Mars and the EarthD．A Study of the Climate of the Mars19.It is physically impossible for a wall-educated intellectual, or a brave man to make money the chief object of his thoughts; as physically impossible as it is for him to make his dinner the principal object of them. All healthy people like their dinner, but their dinner is not the main object of their lives. So all healthy-minded people like making money--ought to like it and to enjoy the satisfaction of winning it; but the main object of their lives is not money; it is something better than money. A good soldier, for instance, mainly wishes to do his fighting well. He is glad of his pay--very properly so, and just complains when you keep him ten months without it; still, his main opinion of life is to win battles, not to be paid for winning them. So of doctors. They like fees no doubt--ought to like them; yet if they are brave and well educated, the entire object of their lives is not fees. They would rather cure their patient and lose theirfees than kill him and get it. And so with all other brave and rightly trained men; their work is first, their fees second, very important always, but still second. The main idea of this passage is that ______.A．money matters more than workB．money is not necessary at allC．money is as important as workD．money comes second to work in importance20. The passage implies that healthy-minded people best enjoy______.A．the happiness of accomplishing their workB．the satisfaction of making moneyC．the pleasure of having their dinnerD．the fun of fighting battles21. According to the author, a good soldier ______.A．dislikes his payB．ignores his payC．ought to enjoy his payD．doesn’t complain when kept without pay for months22. The author believes that a good doctor_____.A．makes money the entire object of his lifeB．places curing his patient above allC．doesn"t like making moneyD．enjoys his work only23. Which of the following is the chief technique used by the author to support his argument？A．Sharp contrastB．Logical reasoningC．Detailed descriptionD．Illustration with examples四、4.ClozePart IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the following passages.
