PART Ⅳ
READING COMPREHENSION
Directions:In this part of the test, there are five short passages. Read each passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow. Choose the best answer from the four choices given and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring Answer Sheet.
Passage One
Justin was always prepared. His motto was "Never throw anything out, you never know when it might come in handy." His bedroom was so full
of fiat bicycle tires, bent tennis rackets, deflated basketballs, and games with missing pieces that you could barely get in the door. His parents pleaded with him to clean out his room.
"What use is a fish tank with a hole in the bottom?" his father asked. But Justin simply smiled and repeated his motto, "Never throw
anything out, you never know when it might come in handy."
When Justin was away from home, he always carried his blue backpack. He liked to think of it as a smaller version of his bedroom--a place
to store the many objects that he collected. It was so worn and stretched that it hardly resembled a backpack anymore. It was full of the kind of things that seemed unimportant, but when used with a
little imagination, might come in handy.
Justin had earned a reputation for figuring things out and getting people out of otherwise hopeless situations. Many of his classmates and neighbors sought him out when they needed help with a problem. On the first day of school, his friend Kenny, came looking for Justin. "Do you think you have something in your bag that could help me remember my locker combination?" he asked. "I lost the scrap of paper it was written on. I have science class in two minutes and if I'm
late on the first day it'll make me look bad for the rest of the year." Kenny looked genuinely worried.
"Relax," Justin said, taking his backpack off and unzipping the top. "Remember how you borrowed my notebook in homeroom to write the combination down? Well, I know how we can recover what you wrote."
He took the notebook and a soft lead pencil out of his bag. The page that Kenny had written on had left faint indentations (印凹痕 ) on another page in the notebook. Justin held the pencil on its side and rubbed it lightly over the indentations. Slowly but surely the numbers of the locker combination appeared in white, set off by the gray pencil rubbings.
"That's amazing!" Kenny said. "I owe you one." And he dashed off to open his locker.
51. Why is Justin's room such a mess?
A. He always forgets to clean it.
B. He never throws anything away.
C. He has no time to clean it.
D. He shares a room with Kenny.
52. The word "pleaded" in Paragraph 1 can best be replaced by ______.
A. ignored
B. asked
C. pushed
D. begged
53. In what way is Justin's backpack a smaller version of his bedroom?
A. He uses it as a place to store objects.
B. He uses it to carry his books and sports equipment.
C. His parents tell him to clean it all the time.
D. He has had it for too long a time.
54. How does Justin help his friends?
A. He offers them advice.
B. He loans them his backpack.
C. He listens to their problems.
D. He uses the objects in his backpack.
55. How come Justin could help Kenny recover his locker combination?
A. Justin remembered Kenny's locker combination.
B. Kenny had left the scrap of paper in Justin's backpack.
C. Kenny had left indentations of the combination on Justin's notebook.
D. Justin found the scrap of paper the locker combination was written on.
56. The author's purpose in writing this story is to ______.
A. inform
B. entertain
C. educate
D. satirize
Passage Two
Only moments after announcing a policy of zero tolerance on cellphone use in the classroom, Ali Nazemi heard a ring. Nazemi, a business professor at Roanoke College in Virginia, took out a hammer and
walked towards a young man. He smashed the offending device.
Students' faces turned white all over the classroom.
This episode reflects a growing challenge for American college teachers in, as the New York Times puts it, a "New Class (room) War: Teacher vs. Technology". Fortunately, the smashed-phone incident had been planned ahead of time to demonstrate teachers' anger at inattentive students distracted by high-tech gadgets.
At age 55, Nazemi stands on the far shore of a new sort of generational divide between teacher and student. The divide separates those who want to use technology to grow smarter from those who want
to use it to get dumber. Perhaps there's a nicer way to put it. "The baby boomers seem to see technology as information and communication," said Michael Bugeja, the author of Interpersonal Divide: the Search for Community in a Technological Age. "Their
children seem to see the same devices as entertainment and socializing."
All the advances schools and colleges have made to supposedly enhance learning have instead enabled distraction.
Bugeja's online survey of several hundred students found that a majority had used their cell phones, sent or read e-mail, and logged onto social-network sites during class time. A quarter of the respondents admitted they were taking the survey while sitting in a different class.
The Canadian company Smart Technologies makes and sells a program called SynchronEyes. It allows a classroom teacher to monitor every student's computer activity and to freeze it at a click. Last year, the company sold more than 10,000 licenses. The biggest problem, said Nancy Knowlton, the company's chief executive officer, is staying ahead of students trying to crack the program's code. "There's an active discussion on the Web, and we're monitoring it." Knowlton said. "They keep us on our toes."
57. Prof. Nazemi smashed the student's cellphone with a hammer because ______.
A. students in his class didn't listen to his announcement
B. he hated new gadgets such as cellphones
C. he no longer tolerated cellphone use in the classroom
D. he wanted to show how distractive the cellphone was
58. According to the passage high-tech gadgets can make youngsters
______.
A. more intelligent
B. more stupid
C. study more easily
D. get more information
59. "The baby boomers" in Paragraph 3 probably refers to ______.
A. the generation of people like All Nazemi
B. the generation of people like All Nazemi's students
C. the very young babies
D. the people who were born in the 1980s
60. All the following statements are true EXCEPT ______.
A. schools have used advanced devices to enhance students' learning
B. many students use their cellphones during class time
C. young people see the interpersonal devices as toys
D. schools' advanced facilities are effectively used by students
61. The biggest problem for the Canadian company Smart Technologies
is ______.
A. students may soon decode their program SynchronEyes
B. whether they have the right to allow teachers to monitor students
C. they must sell the program without the students' knowing of it
D. they have to discuss whether the SynchronEyes is useful on the Web
62. The best title of this passage is ______.
A. Different Opinions Between Teachers and Students
B. Classroom Chaos over Gadget Use
C. The Development of Classroom Wars
D. Keep Us on Our Toes
Passage Three
Hand in hand with the one you love, you gaze at the horizon to watch the earth rise.
It sounds like science fiction, but companies around the world are working hard to make this sort of holiday a reality. The idea of
space tourism has been around for nearly forty years now. At first NASA made plans for the ultimate in holiday destinations, but then private companies became involved in the mid- 1980s. The Challenger shuttle disaster of 1986 postponed their plans, but now space is back as a future holiday resort.
The Hilton hotel group has produced ambitious and serious plans for hotels on the moon, as well as orbiting hotels, hoping to give their space tourists' different holiday experience. But zero-gravity will
be a little uncomfortable. "There will be space motion sickness in
the first few days, with headaches and nausea." says George Turner, a hopeful space tour operator.
Hotels will try to prevent these problems by providing areas with the sensation of gravity. This means going to parts of the hotel that
will be spinning. Centrifugal (离心的) force will push you against
the wall, and give the feeling of some weight. Since it will be possible to lie down, many people will probably prefer to sleep in these areas. The alternative will be to strap themselves into a sleeping bag attached to a wall.
Sunbathing will be possible, but will require some very strong sunscreen protection factor. 1,000 will do it.
However the plans all depend on one thing: cheap space travel. At the moment the only re-usable rocket is NASA's space shuttle. The cost of each shuttle launch is U.S. $1 billion. A space craft that only costs U.S. $2 million per launch is what the travel industry is looking for. So far that remains a far-off dream, but it may come a lot closer if someone wins the X-Prize.
Launched in 1997, the X-Prize offers U.S. $10 million to anyone who can build a re-usable space craft. All you have to do is launch three people 100 km into space twice within three weeks. So far 16 companies are racing to win the prize money. But the real prize will be the income from space tourism, estimated to be U.S.$12 billion per year: as Turner explains: "Just think what you'll be able to tell
your friends that you had a holiday that was really out of this
world!"
63. The idea of spending holidays in space ______.
A. was first proposed by NASA in the mid-1980s
B. had been questioned by NASA for nearly 40 years
C. became appealing to private companies in the mid-1980s
D. drew the attention of private companies four decades ago
64. According to Hilton, in their hotels on the moon ______.
A. zero gravity will not be a problem to tourists
B. motion sickness is still unavoidable for tourists
C. adjustment to space life will be easier with training for tourists
D. excitement may help tourists overcome their physical discomfort
65. The spinning areas in space hotels will help tourists ______.
A. take the sun bath
B. sleep lying down
C. fix their sleeping bags
D. enjoy the space walk
66. What can we learn about the X-Prize?
A. Its aim is to cut the cost of per space craft launch to U.S. $2 million.
B. The winner has managed to put people into space twice in 3 weeks.
C. It's offered by NASA to build a new type of reusable space craft.
D. Many companies are competing to win the U.S. $10 million prize.
67. What is the attitude of Turner towards the future of space tourism?
A. Confident.
B. Cautious.
C. Suspicious.
D. Uninterested.
68. The passage is focused on ______.
A. why it is possible to make space tourism a reality
B. what should be done to prepare for space tourism
C. the plans for space tourism and the existing problems
D. the opportunities and challenges posed by space tourism
Passage Four
Defending the French language from the creeping invasion of English has long been a favorite pastime of France's elite. In 2006 Jacques Chirac walked out of a Brussels summit in protest at a Frenchman speaking in English. It is a point of national pride to protect
French music, film, even advertising, from the corrupting influence
of English. So why are the French giving up the struggle?
As French children filed back to school on September 2nd, Xavier Darcos, the education minister, announced that he was increasing English-language teaching in the curriculum. "I've had enough of hearing that the French do not learn English," he said. "It's a big disadvantage for international competition." By the end of compulsory schooling, he promised, all pupils should be bilingual.
The French are embracing English in less high-minded ways too. When they entered a song in English at this year's Eurovision song contest, it provoked ironic amusement abroad, but indifference at home. In
fact for many young French musicians singing in English is now even
de rigueur. "The children of globalization are giving up writing in
French," declared Le Monde, the bible of the French elite without apparent regret.
Despite rules requiring advertising slogans in English to be sub-titled, French manufacturers still borrow English words. France's fashion press is another cross-dresser, writing of "Vive la fashion attitude". In a post-modern twist, teenagers are importing American slang via the heavily north African suburbs, where hip-hop flourishes and street dress is styled on New York city.
Once this might have had official France speaking with indignation. The rules designed to fend off English remain--and are an obstacle to new musicians who do not qualify for the quota of radio time reserved for singers in French. Yet in the globalized, internet age, the French seem to realize, as Mr Darcos put it, that the losers from a refusal to learn English are themselves--and that speaking it need not make them less French. Part of this is down to Mr Chirac's successor, Nicolas Sarkozy, who, although no linguist, rejects the anti-Americanism that adds much hostility to English. Appropriately, the new album by his wife Carla Bruni, has a track in English--presumably not one his predecessor will listen to.
69. According to the education minister Xavier Darcos,______.
A. French pupils will benefit from more English learning
B. it is necessary to protect the French language in schools
C. compulsory English lessons may not be as good as expected
D. globalization has put the French language at an advantage
70. What does the phrase "de rigueur" in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Problematic.
B. Unsuccessful.
C. Tolerable.
D. Proper.
71. It can be learned that le Monde ______.
A. strongly supports the use of English
B. is worrying about the rapid spread of English
C. feels sorry that the French prefer English over French
D. considers it acceptable for the French to use more English
72. Which of the following fields is NOT mentioned to demonstrate the rising English influence?
A. Music.
B. Commerce.
C. Advertising.
D. Fashion.
73. Compared with Mr. Chirac, President Sarkozy ______ Frenchman's using English.
A. is more critical of
B. cares too much about
C. gives more support to
D. gains more profits from
74. The best title for the passage is "______".
A. The never-ending battle to defend the French language
B. Predominance of the English language in modern France
C. The French hostility to the English language is relaxed
D. Tension emerged between the French and English languages
Passage Five
For much of its history, psychology has seemed obsessed with human failings and pathology. The very idea of psychotherapy, first formalized by Freud, rests on a view of human beings as troubled creatures in need of repair. Freud himself was profoundly pessimistic about human nature, which he felt was governed by deep, dark drives that we could hardly control. The scientists who followed developed a model of human life that seemed to many mechanical if not robotic: humans were passive beings harshly shaped by the stimuli and the rewards and punishments that surrounded them.
After World War Ⅱ, psychologists tried to explain how so many ordinary citizens could have agreed with fascism, and did work symbolized in the 1950 classic The Authoritarian Personality by T.W. Adorno, et al. Social psychologists followed on. Some of the most famous experiments proved that normal folk could become coldly insensitive to suffering when obeying "legitimate" orders or cruelly aggressive when playing the role of prison guard.
A watershed moment arrived in 1998, when University of Pennsylvania psychologist Martin Seligman, in his presidential address to the American Psychological Association, urged psychology to "turn toward understanding and building the human strengths to complement our emphasis on healing damage." That speech launched today's positive psychology movement.
Though not denying humanity's flaws, the new positive psychologists recommend focusing on people's strengths and virtues as a point of departure. Rather than analyze the psychopathology underlying alcoholism, for example, positive psychologists might study the toughness of those who have managed a successful recovery--for example, through organizations like Alcoholics Anonymous. Instead of viewing religion as a delusion and a support, as did Freud, they might identify the mechanisms through which a spiritual practice like meditation enhances mental and physical health. Their lab experiments might seek to define not the conditions that induce wicked behavior, but those that foster generosity, courage, creativity, and laughter. Seligman's idea quickly caught on. The Gallup Organization founded the Gallup Positive Psychology Institute to sponsor scholarly work in the field. In 1999, 60 scholars gathered for the first Gallup
Positive Psychology Summit; two years later, the conference went international, and ever since has drawn about 400 attendees annually.
75. Psychotherapy is based on the idea that human beings ______.
A. are suffering
B. often lie
C. are eager to control each other
D. can effectively control themselves
76. According to Freud, human nature ______.
A. was positive on the whole
B. was controlled by secret desires
C. was inclined to control other people
D. was becoming worse and worse
77. The research discussed in the second paragraph showed that ______.
A. compassion was essential to human nature
B. fascism had brought disasters to human nature
C. suffering could not change human nature
D. man could be harsh by nature
78. What does the passage say about positive psychology?
A. It stresses that human nature is perfect.
B. It rejects the role of religion.
C. It began in 1998.
D. It began in 1950.
79. What may be an example of "wicked behavior"(Para. 4)?
A. Making a toy.
B. Giving money to the poor.
C. Drinking without control.
D. Believing in a religion.
80. What does the passage say about Martin Seligman?
A. His idea was hard for many people to understand.
B. He stressed the role of good human qualities.
C. He founded the Gallup Organization.
D. His idea caused a lot of controversy.
PAPER TWO
PART Ⅴ
TRANSLATION
Section A
Directions:Put the following paragraph into Chinese. Write your Chinese version in the proper space on Answer Sheet Ⅱ.
When dominant innovators in a science respond to the challenge of a situation that demands some change in its practice, this may take a number of forms, and rival schools may grow up around different leaders responding differently to a particular situation. These rivalries may be reinforced and perpetuated by the use of standard textbooks. Any empirical science must be able to cope with its own phenomena, and once any observation is accepted as relevant, its theory and modes of description and analysis must be able to handle
it with scientific adequacy, of which exhaustiveness, consistency, economy are basic principles. The extension of a science to new but relevant fields may require the further elaboration and presentation
of existing theory along previously-followed lines.
Section B
Directions:Put the following paragraph into English. Write your English versi on in the proper space on Answer Sheet Ⅱ.
中国学生在英语上花的时间比其他学科多得多，原因是英语需要泛读、机械记忆和经常复习。老师让学生做大量涉及多项移选择的练习，结果忽视了培养主动使用英语的能力。这种应试教育方式有利也有弊。

参考译文：
形势要求某一学科改变研究方法，该学科主要革新者迎接形势的挑战时，可能采取若干形式，而且由于不同学术带头人对某一形势有不同的反应，会出现彼此对立的学派。标准教科书的使用加剧了对立的局面并使其长期存在。任何基于经验的科学必须能处理属于自己领域内的现象。一旦某个观察被认为是相关的，该学科的理论和描述分析方式必须能科学地对这一观察加以处理，内容详尽、观点一致和省钱省力是基本的原则。把某一学科延伸到新的相关领域，可能要求沿着先前的路线对现有的理论做进一步阐述和表达。

Section B
Directions: In this section you will hear two mini- talks. At the end of each talk, there will be some questions. Both the talks and the questions will be read to you only once. After each question, there will be a pause. During the pause, you must choose the best answer from the four choices given by marking the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring Answer Sheet.
Mini-talk One
Do you live in a happy country? Chances are strong that you do. Results of a recent study have shown that many people around the world are happier now than in the past. The study is called the World Values Survey. Researchers responsible for the study are based at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research in the United States.
The researchers gathered information from opinion studies done in more than ninety countries or territories. Those studies were
completed between nineteen eighty-one and two thousand seven. More than three hundred fifty thousand people told how happy or unhappy they were feeling. They also said how generally satisfied or unsatisfied they felt.
The results were reported in the publication "Perspectives on Psychological Science."
University of Michigan political scientist Ronald Inglehart directed the World Values Survey. Mister Inglehart says the results surprised him. He said it is widely believed that it is nearly impossible for happiness levels for a whole country to improve. He said many earlier studies have suggested that happiness levels do not really change. Denmark was found to be the world's happiest country. Mister
Inglehart notes that Denmark's health care is good and few Danes are hungry. Zimbabwe was rated as the least happy country. Zimbabweans have suffered from political and social unrest.
Other nations in the top ten for happiness include Iceland, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Canada and Colombia. Colombia suffers from violence in some areas. But Mister Inglehart says Colombians share strong family, friendship and religious ties. He says those qualities are common in areas along the Caribbean Sea. And he says they help balance economic and political weakness. Also, America's Central Intelligence Agency says the Colombian government has been working harder to control the violence.
Q10: What is the name of the study on people's happiness in different countries?
Q11: What does the study show?
Q12: Why was Denmark found to be the world's happiest country?
Mini-talk Two
Currently, the most modern systems for predicting earthquakes find them only a short time before the event. Like most strong earthquakes, the one that hit southwestern China in May was not identified early enough for people to flee the area. That earthquake killed sixty-nine thousand people.
But scientists who study earthquakes are reporting that new
technology could measure very small changes below ground in the
Earth's surface. Their report was published in September in Nature magazine.
Fenglin Niu is an earthquake expert with Rice University in Houston, Texas. He and his team performed experiments along California's San Andreas Fault, an area famous for its many earthquakes.
The team placed highly sensitive electrical devices about one
kilometer below ground in two different places. The devices were able to measure even small changes in air pressure below ground. The scientists say such changes are caused when rocks push together,
forcing air out of small cracks in the rock. When this happens, earthquake waves travel faster than usual through the rock.
The experiment was performed near Parkfield, California. Two earthquakes hit the area in late two thousand five. The first took place on December twenty- fifth. A smaller earthquake struck five
days later.
The scientists noted changes below ground about ten hours before the first quake struck. That quake measured three in intensity. They then found similar changes taking place two hours before the other quake struck five days later.
The earthquake in China rated seven point nine in intensity. If additional tests confirm the changes are linked to earthquakes, the scientists believe their equipment could be used for early warning systems. A system that provides a signal ten hours before a major earthquake could help move people from the area and save lives.
The scientists now hope they can find earthquakes with even greater intensity by placing their equipment deeper in the ground.
Q13: How can the new technology predict the coming earthquake?
Q14: What causes the changes in air pressure below ground?
Q15: How can the new technology save people's lives?
Section C
Directions:In this section you will hear a short lecture. Listen to the recording and complete the notes about the lecture. You will hear the recording twice. After the recording you are asked to write down your answers on the Answer Sheet. You now have 25 seconds to read the notes below.
Doctors around the world now perform more than two hundred thirty million major operations every year. The World Health Organization says preventable injuries and deaths from medical operations are a growing concern.
Experts estimate that at least one million people die every year because of complications from surgical treatments. The WHO says studies suggest that about half of these problems may be preventable. The United Nations agency hopes to reduce mistakes with a program
built around a new Surgical Safety Checklist.
Atul Gawande works at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, Massachusetts. He helped develop the Safe Surgery Saves Lives program. Doctor Gawande and other researchers studied records from fifty-six countries.
In two thousand four, surgical complications in developed countries
led to death in less than one percent of cases. In developing countries, the rate was five to ten percent. Complications can happen during an operation or after. For example, an infection might develop after an operation.
More than two hundred medical societies and health ministries have joined in the effort to make surgery safer. The new list is similar to what airplane pilots use before flying.
One member of the surgical team is responsible for the checklist. The very first step is to confirm the patient's identity and the operation to be performed.
More questions are asked before the first cut. All members of the team are supposed to identify themselves by name and job. Another step is to confirm whether the patient was given antibiotic drugs within the last hour to prevent infection.
The third and final part of the checklist is completed before the patient leaves the operating room. For example, surgical equipment is counted to make sure nothing unnecessary stays in the patient.
This is the end of Part One Listening Comprehension.

二卷模拟答案 Section A Directions:Translate the following passage into Chinese. Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET. Discoveries in science and technology are thought by many to come in blinding flashes or as the result of dramatic accidents: Sir Isaac Newton noticed the falling apple in his garden and came forth with the gravitation law. This notion is obviously not true. Sir Alexander Fleming did not, as legend would have it, look at the mold on a piece of cheese and get the idea for penicillin there and then. In fact, he had experimented with antibacterial substances for nine years before he made his discovery. Inventions and innovations almost always come out of laborious trial and error. Innovation, as well as inventions, is like soccer; even the best players miss the goal and have their shots blocked much more frequently than they score. Section B Directions:Translate the following passage into English. Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET. 自然界开始了一次新的实验。人类不再只是能适应某一特定的环境，而是获得了能适应 任何环境的能力。他们分散到世界各地，在迁移中不断变化，直到成为在地球上分布最广的 物种。人类在身体和文化方面都适应于他们迁入的新环境。居住在赤道附近的人为了在强烈 日光下保护自己，渐渐地有了黑色皮肤。迁移到寒冷地带的人为了利用阳光合成维生素D， 渐渐地有了较为白皙的皮肤。住在寒冷而干燥地区的人们长得矮胖，以便保存热量；住在干 燥而炎热地区的人们长得高瘦，以便使热量容易散发。 答案： Section A 很多人认为科技发现是灵光一闪，或戏剧化事件的产物：艾萨克·牛顿爵士在花园中注意到了苹果落地，从而发现了万有引力定律。很显然，这一观点并不正确。弗莱明爵士并不如传闻所言那样，看到一片奶酪上的霉菌，在当时当地就想到（发明）了抗生素盘尼西林。事实上，他做了九年之久的抗细菌物质的实验，终于才有了他的发现。发现和革新总是来自于勤勉的“试误”实验。革新和发明就像是足球赛，即使是最好的选手也会射不进球，他们射门受阻的次数远远大于射门得分的次数。 Section B Nature began a new experiment. Instead of adapting to a specific environment, man has the capacity to adapt himself to any specific environment. They spread throughout the globe, changing as they moved, until they became the most widely distributed species on the earth. Man adapted physically as well as culturally to the new surroundings into which he moved. People who lived near equator developed dark skin to protect themselves from strong sunlight; people who moved to colder climates developed light skin to take advantage of the sunlight for the synthesis of vitamin D; people in cold dry climates became stocky to conserve heat. People in hot dry climates tended to become tall and thin to dissipate heat.
