Part III. Cloze Test ( 10 minutes, 15 points, 1 point each)
Charles and I had filmed and collected animals together on four previous expeditions. At times, 36 all of them, we had been decidedly uncomfortable, and we often kept our thoughts 37 our aching legs or
empty stomachs by trying to devise the ideal expedition on which we should live in lazy luxury, 38 find the most beautiful and exciting animals in the world.
In New Guinea, we had walked several hundred 39 miles to find some elusive birds of paradise. Towards the end of that journey, Charles had stated categorically that the first 40 of his ideal expedition was some form of mechanical transport. When we had sailed together in a small fishing prau through the islands of Indonesia and had lived 41 an exclusive diet of salt fish and rice, I had stipulated that my 42 would be an immense and infinitely varied supplies of tinned delicacies. In a particularly poor 43 in Borneo we had both agreed, 44 we struggled to save our film and cameras from being soaked by rains that a completely waterproof habitation was 45 vital. In moments of less serious crisis but equal irritation we had calmed our bad tempers by adding other 46 : I was determined to have an inexhaustible supply of chocolate; Charles 47 somewhere that was safe from beetles, ants, mosquitoes and all other biting or stinging insects. This 48 expedition eventually became very real to both of us, but 49 of us imagined that it would ever be translated into fact. Within a week of our arrival in Paraguay, a British meat 50 in Asuncion spontaneously offered us the means of making a journey which matched these specifications almost exactly.

Part IV Reading Comprehension (45 minutes, 30 points, 1 point each) Passage One
In upstate New York in 1848 there lived two little girls, Margaret and Kates Fox, about whom marvelous stories were told. In their presence could be heard mysterious rapping noises, later understood to be coded
messages from the spirit world: Ask the spirits anything----one rap signifying no, three raps signifying yes. The Fox sisters became a sensation, embarked on nation-wide tours organized by their elder sister, and became the focus of enchanted attention from European intellectuals and literati such as Elizabeth Barrett Browning. The “manifestations” brought about by the Fox sisters are the origins of modern spiritualism, the belief that by some special effort of will a few gifted people are able to communicate with the spirits of the dead.
Forty years after the first “manifestations,” provoked by an uneasy conscience, Margaret Fox produced a signed confession. The raps were made ----in a standing position with no apparent effort or movement----by crack ing the toe and ankle joints, very much like cracking knuckles. “And that is the way we began. First, as a mere trick to frighten mother, and then, when so many people came to see us children, we were ourselves frightened，and for self-preservation forced to keep it up. No one suspected us of any trick because we were such young children. We were led on by my sister purposely and by mother unintentionally.” The eldest sister, who organized the tours, seems to have been fully conscious of the fraud. Her motive was money.
The most instructive aspect of the Fox case is not that so many people were deceived; but rather that after that trick was confessed, after Margaret Fox made a public demonstration , on the stage of a New York
th eater, of her “preternatural big toe,” many who had been taken in still refused to acknowledge the fraud. They pretended that Margaret had been coerced into the confession by some rationalist church institution. People are rarely grateful for a demonstration of their credulity.
51. What did the Fox sisters do in their childhood?
A They answered questions of people from all parts of the country.
B They made tours around the country and benefited from them.
C They told people how to act most properly on behalf of God.
D They left New Work to summon modern spiritualism abroad.
52. When she was in her middle age, Margaret admitted that ___________
A her eldest sister was too selfish to offer the family any support.
B the fact that the performers were children made more people believe them.
C her mother knew exactly how the girls made the rapping noises.
D the two girls simply wanted to frighten away the visitors.
53. What did the Fox sisters give people that they wanted?
A A chance to communicate with the spirits of the dead.
B An honest confession provoked by an uneasy conscience.
C A demonstration of their preternatural big toes.
D The visit of more European intellectuals to America.
54. What made Margaret acknowledge the falsehood of the messages?
A Her parents asked her to do so.
B Her eldest sister encouraged her to tell the truth.
C She felt she had an urge to do the right thing.
D A church insisted that she should sign a confession.
55. What is implied as the most instructive aspect of the Fox case?
A People hate to be taken in by a faker.
B People tend to believe what they have seen rather than what they have heard.
C It is not easy for people to admit their own misjudgment.
D Trust people, and you are to be trusted.
Passage Two
The Aleuts, residing on several islands of the Aleutian Chain, the Pribilof Islands, and the Alaskan Peninsula, have possessed a written language since 1825, when the Russian missionary Ivan V eniaminov selected appropriate characters of the Cyrillic alphabet to represent Aleut speech sounds, recorded the main body of Aleut vocabulary, and formulated grammatical rules. The Czarist Russian conquest of the proud, independent sea hunters was so devastatingly thorough that tribal traditions, even tribal memories, were almost destroyed. The brutal killing of the majority of an adult generation was sufficient to destroy the continuity of tribal knowledge, which was dependent upon oral
transmission. As a consequence, the Aleuts developed a passionate devotion to their language as their only cultural heritage.
The Russian occupation placed a heavy linguistic burden on the Aleuts. Not only were they compelled to learn Russian to converse with their overseers and governors, but they had to learn Old Slavonic to take an active part in church services as well as to master the skill of reading and writing their own tongue. In 1867, when the United States purchased Alaska, the Aleuts were unable to break sharply with their immediate past and substitute English for any one of their three languages.
To communicants of the Russian Orthodox Church a knowledge of Slavonic remained vital, as did Russian, the language in which one conversed with the clergy. The Aleuts came to regard English education as a device to withdraw them from their religious faith. The introduction of compulsory English schooling caused a minor rebirth of Russian culture as the Aleut parents sought to counteract the influence of the schoolroom. The harsh life of the Russian colonial rule began to appear more happy and beautiful in retrospect.
Regulations forbidding instruction in any language other than English increased its unpopularity. The superficial alphabetical resemblance of Russian and Aleut linked the two tongues so closely that every restriction against teaching Russian was interpreted as an attempt to eradicate the Aleut tongue. From the wording of many regulations, it appears that
American administrators often had not the slightest idea that the Aleuts were secretly reading and writing their own tongues, or even had written language of their own. To too many officials, anything in Cyrillic letters was Russian and something to be stamped out. Bitterness (bred by abuses and the exploitations) the Aleuts suffered from predatory American traders and adventurers kept alive the Aleut resentment against the language spoken by Americans.
56. The author is primarily concerned with describing _________
A American governments attempt to persuade the Aleuts to use English, as a second language.
B the Aleuts’s loyalty to their language and the Americans’ failure to understand it.
C how the Russian occupation of Alaska created a written language for the Aleuts.
D the treatment of Alaskan inhabitants by Russian and the U.S. Before and after 1867.
57. According to the passage, which of the following was the most important reason for the Aleuts’ devotion to their language?
A The invention of a written version of their language.
B The destruction of their oral transmission of tribal knowledge.
C The introduction of Old Slavonic for worship.
C Their devotion to the Russian Orthodox Church.
58. One reason for the Aleuts’ resentment towards the Americans is ________
A their prohibition of writing and reading Russian.
B the American invasion of the Alaskan Peninsula.
C their mass killing of the natives of the Aleutian Chain.
D the religious conflicts between Americans and the Aleuts
59. Which of the following is NOT one of the “three languages” mentioned at the end of Paragraph Two?

B weighing the pros and cons of a plan.

D describing causes and effects of events.
Passage Three
The bat is marvel of evolutionary adaptation. It can avoid objects in the dark.
I have seen this phenomenon at work. In my youth I used to explore old mining shafts in the Randsburg district. Sometimes my intrusion disturbed clans of bats that were hanging upside down in the dark caves.
They would fly about in evident panic, but the panic was mine, not theirs. Some flew crazily out into the daylight, but some merely returned to their perches. None ever touched me, much to my relief.
They may exist, but I have never seen a stuffed nylon bat. To children, bats may not be as lovable as koala bears. Perhaps manufacturers do not regard them as marketable. It is not so much their hideous faces and winged bodies that have caused us to get rid of bats, but rather the ancient myths in which dead humans, such as Count Dracula, leave their graves at night in the form of bats to suck blood from human victims, especially fragile young women. As we know from some movies, these vampires must return to their graves before daylight. Endangered young women can frustrate vampires by sleeping with a string of garlic around their necks.
There are actually three species of bloodsucking bats. They are called
vampire bats after the ancient legends, and their tactics are
indeed frightful. Like Count Dracula, they feed at night. They make a small cut in their sleeping victim, with sharp incisor teeth, usually not even awakening their prey. Then they suck the blood that sustains them. Should that discourage children from wanting them as pets?
As Mitchell notes from the New Yorker ad, bats are clean and intelligent, and they serve nature by pollinating flowers, spreading seed and destroying crop-damaging insects.
Bat Conservation International claims that without bats a host of insect pests would multiply unchecked and many of our planet’s most valuable plants would go unpollinated.
It is clear that the bat is our friend, and that, despite its appearance, it is here to serve humanity.
I’d be the first to buy a stuffed nylon bat. Children’s hearts are big, and bats need love, too.
63. Wh at does the author mean by saying that “the panic was mine” (paragraph 3) ?
A I drove the bats out of the cave and thus made them threatened.
B I was greatly scared by the unexpected view of flying bats.
C The bats were too calm to be threatened.
D The bats moved reluctantly from where they stayed.
64. According to the passage, vampire bats __________
A live on the blood of living creatures.
B are believed to eat dead women.
C nerve fly in the daylight
D are not our friends.
65. We learn from the passage that toy companies are rarely interested in making a toy bat because ________
A the bat destroys crop-damaging insects.
B the bat is a marvel of evolutionary adaptation.
C the bat sucks the blood of sleeping people.
D the bat inspires disgust based on the traditional beliefs.
66. A string of garlic is described as being useful for endangered women _________
A to locate the bats.
B to keep off the bats
C to attract the bats
D to poison the bats
67. The author agrees that the bat in general is ________
A unhelpful
B dangerous
C bad-looking
D marketable
68. What is implied in the words “children’s hearts are big” ?
A Children are usually careless.
B Children tend to forgive toy manufacturers.
C Children would love a toy bat.
D Children prefer toys of big animals.
Passage Four
Here’s my simple test for a product of today’s technology: I go to the bookstore and check the shelves for remedial books. The more books, the more my suspicious are raised. If computers and computer programs supposedly are getting easier to use, why are so many companies still making a nice living publishing books on how to use them?
Computers manipulate information, but information is invisible. There’s nothing to see or touch. The programmer decides what you see on the screen. Computers don’t have knobs like old radios. They don’t have buttons, not real buttons. Instead, more and more programs display pictures of buttons, moving even further into abstraction and arbitrariness.
I like computers, but I hope they will disappear, that they will seem as strange to our descendents as the technologies of our grandparents appear to us. Today’s computers are indeed getting easier to use, but look where they started: so difficult that almost any improvement was welcome. Computers have the power to allow people within a company, across a nation or even around the world to work together. But this power will be wasted if tomorrow’s computers aren’t designed around the needs and capabilities of the human beings who must use them ---- a people-centered philosophy, in other words. That means retooling computers to mesh with human strengths--- observing , communicating and innovating ----instead of asking people to conform to the unnatural behavior computers demand. That just leads to error.
Many of today’s machines try to do too much. When a complicated word processor attempts to double as a desktop publishing program or a kitchen appliance comes with half a dozen attachments, the product is bound to be unwieldy and burdensome. My favorite example of a technological product on just the right scale is an electronic dictionary. It can be made smaller, lighter and far easier to use than a print version, not only giving meanings but even pronouncing the words. T oday’s electronic dictionaries, with their tiny keys and barely legible displays, are primitive but they’re on the right track.
69. According to the author, companies can make a living by publishing books on how to use computers because _______
A very few companies are publishing such books.
B computers manipulate invisible information.
C it is not easy to learn how to use computers and computer programs.
D books on how to use computers can be sold at high price.
70. The author hopes that __________
A the elderly will learn new technologies if they need.
B future generation can use something better than computers.
C he himself can get rid of computers as quickly as possible.
C radios will be made as abstract as computers.
71. According to th e passage, today’s computers should be __________
A improved to conform to international convention.
B designed to have more buttons.
C based on a people-centered philosophy.
D ignored if they are made smaller.
72. Which of the following is mostly approved of by the author?
A A complicated word processor.
B An electronic dictionary.
C A multifunction kitchen appliance
D An old radio with knobs.
73. The word “retooling” in Paragraph 3 means _________
A recovering
B replacing
C rearranging
D reproaching
74. Which seems to be the author’s conclusion?
A It is burdensome to learn the arbitrary ways of the computer
B It is a mistake to start computer technology.
C It is impossible to substitute computers for primitive machines.
D Produc ts of today’s technology are on the right track.
Passage Five
You seem to recognize that the present minimum wage is failing to realize its purpose of providing a minimum standard of living for the working poor and their families. But, rather than champion a minimum that would provide a “living wage” for the working poor, an admirable social goal, you favor maintaining a clearly inadequate minimum because raising it would cause employers to go underground and hire people at a

In practice, it means living in a spacious, air-conditioned house, owning a car or three and maybe a boat or a holiday home, not to mention flying off to 42 destinations.

0501 戒严与其说是个人的选择, 不如说是对自己毅力的考验, 因为人们普遍认为吸烟是上瘾的. 尽管专家的建议和药物疗法确实能增加永久戒严的可能性, 但是避免这种困境的最好的方法就是不要涉猎吸烟. 吸烟的负面影响在各个程度上是不同的, 它与吸烟的数量以及烟龄的长短, 还有开始吸烟的年龄有关. 这份报告向以下观点提出了质疑, 这种观点认为吸烟几年不会产生永久的危害性的后果. 我们希望阻止这种普遍的但是却是生死攸关的习惯, 并且提醒大家戒烟的时间越长, 和吸烟有关的健康问题就会大幅度地减少. It is increasingly realized that ( There is a growing realization /awareness that ) developing environment-protecting products really count. To fulfill the long-term and substantial development, developed countries should at all costs decrease the emission of greenhouse gases. If the speed of global warming nowadays continues, the probability of disappearance from the earth to such big cities as Tokyo and London will be 10 times as fast as that of 20 years ago. 0506 本书是在全国不同学校讲课几十年的结晶.它基于以下观
