Ophelia 21 what Mrs Stowe,the author, considered a widespread Northern problem: the white person who opposes slavery but feels 22 prejudice and hatred in the presence of a black slave. Ophelia hates slavery,but she considers it almost 23 for blacks,against whom she harbors a deep—seated prejudice。
And she doesn’t want them to touch her。
Stowe stresses that much of Ophelia’s prejudice 24 from unfamiliarity and ignorance rather than from actual 25 . Because Ophelia has seldom spent time along with 26 , she finds them uncomfortably alien (不相容) to her。

Rules for riding motor vehicles on camps.BWhen you think about math, you p robably don’t think about breaking the law, solving mysteries or finding criminals. But a mathematician in Maryland does, and he has come up with mathematical tools to help police find criminals.People who solve crimes look for patterns that might reveal (揭示) the identity of the criminal. It’s long been believed, for example, that c riminals will break the law closer to where they live, simply because it’s easier to get around in their own neighborhood. If police see a pattern of robberies in a certain area, they may look for a suspect who lives near the crime scenes. So, the farther away from the area a crime takes place, the less likely it is that the same criminal did it.But Mike O’Leary, a mathematic ian at Towson University in Maryland, says that this k ind of approach may be too simple. He says that police may get better clues to the location of a criminal’s home base by combining these patterns with a city’s layout (布局) and historical crime records.The records of past crimes contain geographical information and can reveal easy targets —that is, the kind of stores that might be less difficult to rob. Because these stores are along roads, the locations of past crimes contain information about where major streets and intersections are. O’Leary is writing a new computer program that will quickly provide this kind of information for a given city. His program also includes information about the people who live in the city, and information about how a criminal’s patterns change with age. It’s been shown, for e xample, that the younger the criminal, the closer to home the crime.Other computer programmers have worked on similar software, but O’Leary’s uses more math. The mathematician plans to make his computer program available, free of charge, to police departments around the country.The program is just one way to use math to fight crime. O’Leary says that criminology — the study of crime and criminals —contains a lot of good math problems. “I feel like I’m in a gold mine and I’m the only one who knows what go ld looks like,”he says. “It’s a lot of fun.”61. To find criminals, police usually _________.A. check who are on the crime sceneB. seek help from local peopleC. depend on new mathematical toolsD. focus on where crimes take place62. O’Leary is writing a computer program that _________.A. uses math to increase the speed of calculationB. tells the identity of a criminal in a certain areaC. provides the crime records of a given cityD. shows changes in criminals’ patterns63. By “I’m the only one who knows what gold looks like”, O’Leary means that he _________.A. is better at finding gold than othersB. is the only one who uses math to make moneyC. knows best how to use math to help solve crimesD. has more knowledge of gold than other mathematicians64. What do you know about O’Leary according to the passage?A. He is a man full of impractical imagination.B. He is a man full of self-confidence.C. He is a man who is talkative but lazy.D. He is a man who doesn’t like mathematics.65. What is the main idea of the text?A. Math could help police find criminals.B. Criminals live near where crimes occur.C. Crime records could be used to fight crime.D. Computer software works in preventing crimes.CDepression is one of the most common mental health issues among Americans, and children are also affected by it. Childhood depression increases the risk of suicide. It’s important that parents become aware of the signs and symptoms of childhood depression, because children usually can’t express their feelings in a way that adults will understand that they’re depressed. One in every 33 children may be struggling with depression, according to Kids Health.Signs and Symptoms of Clinical Depression in ChildrenDepression in adults and children can look quite different. Sometimes children become impatient instead of sad and throw a tantrum(发脾气) when depressed. They might not necessarily look like the typical crying person that people are used to seeing on television when someone is described as depressed. Here are more symptoms of childhood depression: overwhelming sadness, weight loss or weight gain due to under-eating or over-eating, sleeplessness, low self-esteem(自尊),etc.A child who is depressed may refuse to go to school, have a sudden drop in his grades, and stop playing with his friends after school. Things that used to make him happy seem to no longer interest him.T reatment Options for Children Suffering from DepressionMedication, individual therapy, and family therapy are forms of treatment for children who are depressed. Many times it is recommended that children try different forms of psychotherapy before considering medication. The most commonly appointed medications for children who have a diagnosis of major depressive disorder are antidepressants(抗抑郁药). Some children need a combination of therapy and medication to reduce the symptoms of depression. It depends on each child’s individual symptoms and the severity of the depression. In any form of treatment, parents play an essential part and should be fully involved.It can be scary for a parent to think that his child is depressed; however, it’s important to understand the signs and symptoms of depression, signs of suicidal thoughts, treatment options forchildhood depression and the basic information about antidepressants.66. From the text we can learn that ______.A. depression is the most common mental problem in AmericaB. about 3 percent of children may be suffering from depressionC. when a child struggles with depression, what he needs most is medicineD. signs and symptoms of depression in children are quite similar to those in adults67. According to the text, we know that if a child is depressed, he may _______.A. get angry easilyB. talk with his parents about his problemC. go out with his friends and have a big mealD. have no interest in anything except watching TV68. All the following are signs and symptoms of childhood depression EXCEPT“________”.A. lack of self-respectB. over-eating or under-eatingC. having difficulty in falling asleepD. often crying when watching TV69. From Paragraph 4, we can infer that _______.A. only the severity of depression determines the form of treatmentB. medication is the most useful form of treatment for depressionC. a child suffering from depression should turn to a psychologist firstD. in dealing with depression, parents play the most important role70. What is the passage about?A. Why children will have depression.B. How we should treat depression in childhood.C. What the symptoms and treatment of depression in children are.D. When the best time for parents to treat depression in children is.PART FOUR WRITINGSECTION ADirection: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Direction: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.How we look and how we appear to others probably worries us more when we are in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life. Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion?Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment. Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress. A barber today does not cut a boy’s hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did. The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or dull.What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion. Take hats for example. In cold climates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside. In recent times, the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats: more American men followed his example.There is also a cyclical pattern in fashion. In the 1920s in Europe and America, short skirts became fashionable. After World War Two, they dropped to ankle length. Then they got shorter and shorter the miniskirt was in fashion. After a few more years, skirts became longer again. Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be. It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else. Within reason, you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion. The popularity of jeans and the “untidy” look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion houses.At the same time, appearance is still important in certain circumstances and then we must choose our clothes carefully. It would be foolish to go to an interview for a job in a law firm wearing jeans and a sweater; and it would be discourteous to visit some distinguished scholar looking as if we were going to the beach or a night club. However, you need never feel depressed if you don’t look like the latest fashion photo. Look around you and you’ll see that no one else does either.I.

What causes fashion to 74. _______◆Convenience or 75. ________: People wearing hats in cold climates◆The fancy of an influential person: People following President K ennedy’s example by 76.________III.

Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.JIUQUAN, June 15 (Xinhua) -- An eloquent speaker and a lover of cooking, Liu Yang iswell-poised to be the first Chinese woman in space.When she watched the news on television of China's first manned space mission in 2003, the pilot couldn't help but wonder: What would the Earth look like from outer space?Nine years later, Liu is getting the opportunity to find out herself as China's first female astronaut, taking her place among three Chinese chosen to crew the Shenzhou-9 manned spacecraft.Liu will be in charge of medical experiments during the mission, which will also featureChina's first attempt at a manual space docking procedure."I have full confidence," Liu said before the mission. “Men and women have their own advantages and capabilities in carrying out space missions. They can complement each other and better complete their mission."The native of central China's Henan province started looking toward the skies just after high school, when one of her teachers convinced her to enroll in an aviation school.Joining the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force in 1997, Liu became a veteran pilot after flying safely for 1,680 hours. She was promoted to deputy head of a PLA flight unit before being recruited as a prospective astronaut in May 2010. She is now an Air Force major.Liu has been described by her colleagues as being outgoing, eloquent and well-versed. Since joining the military, she has received accolades for her public speaking, winning first place in a military speech contest in 2010.She has also impressed others as a quick learner. After becoming a prospective astronaut in 2010, she devoted the first year to basic academic and physical training. Before the start of the Shenzhou-9 mission, she had finished all scheduled training courses."Despite starting her training late, she is now on the same page as us, which is beyond our expectations," said Jing Haipeng, commander of the mission.Jing was also impressed by the swiftness and decisiveness Liu has displayed during training sessions, citing the calm manner she displays in dealing with simulated emergencies.However, the difficulty and intensity of her training has not deprived her of life's pleasures. Liu loves reading, particularly novels, essays and history books. She is also a proficient cook."I love children and I love life," said Liu, who lives in Beijing with her husband. "To be with my family is one kind of happiness, but to fly is another kind that people cannot typically experience."81. How many astronauts are there in the Shenzhou-9 manned spacecraft?

electrolysis(电解),bubbles of gas appear and rise through the liquid.Superficially(表面地),the two events appear same.If the gas from the boiling water is examined,its properties are found to be the same as those of the water,Thus,if the steam is cooled to room temperature,a liquid is formed which is indistinguishable from the original water.When,however,the gas from the electrolysis equipment is cooled to room temperature,it remains a gas rather than becoming a liquid.Nor will it,官方网址: at zero degrees centigrade or below,turn to solid,as will the gas from boiling water,These two processes,boiling and electrolysis,have clearly resulted in products with quite different properties.In boiling,the gas does not represent a new substance,but only a different state of the original substance.Electrolysis,on the other hand,has generated a product which is a new substance,or possibly a mixture of new substances.A change in state as represented by going from a liquid to a gas without the production of new substances in called a“physical change”。

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneStudents enrolled at least half time may borrow up to $3,000 form the government over a two-year period. Repayment of the loan begins six months after the studentleaves school. These loans carry on interest until this time. The current interest rate is 5 percent. Students may borrow up to $4,500 annually from a bank, credit union, savings and loan association or other eligible lender. Repayment on these loans usually begins six months after the student leaves school. These loans carry no interest until this time. This current interest rate is 9 percent. Parents may borrow up to $300 annually for each dependent college. Repayment begins forty-five days after receiving the loan, and the interest rate is 12 percent.61. Which of the following is the main purpose?To remind students and their families to repay their loan.To compare interest rates.To inform students and parents of the various loans available.To show that government loans charge the least interest.62. The highest interest rate is charged to _______.A. full-time studentsB. parentsC. students borrowing from a credit unionD. half-time students63.

According to the passage which of the following is true.The government lends students enrolled at least half time up to 3,000 annually.Students may borrow up to $4,500 annually from four sources.Students enrolled less than half time may borrow money.The current interest rate from banks is 5 percent.65. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.the student’s school determines who is an eligible lendermoney is available for student loansstudents need not be enrolled half time to borrow moneythe interest rate on student loans is increasingPassage TwoAre you aware that you actually possess six senses? The sixth is a muscular sense responsible for directing your muscles intelligently to the exact extent necessary for each action you perform. For example, when you reach for an object, the sensory nerves linking the muscles to the brain stop your hand at the correct spot. This automatic perception of the position of your muscles in relation to the object is your muscular sense in action.Muscles are stringly bundles of fibers varying from one five-thousandth of an inch to about three inches. They have three unique characteristics, they can become shorter and thicker; they can stretch; and they can retract to their originalpositions. Under a high-powered microscope, muscle tissue is seen as long, slender cells with a grainy texture like wood.More than half of a person’s body is composed of muscle fibers, most of which are involuntary—in other words, work without conscious direction. The voluntary muscles, those that we move consciously to perform particular actions, number more than five hundred. Women have only 60 to 70 percent as much muscle as men for their body mass. That is why an average woman can’t lift as much, throw as far, or hit as hard as an average man.66. According to the selection, the muscular sense is responsible for ______.A. the efficiency of our musclesB. the normal breathing functionC. directing our muscles intelligentlyD. the work of only our involuntary muscles67. Intelligent use of the muscles means that ________.one always knows what his muscles are doingone performs simple actions whithout workingone’s muscles are used only to the extent necessary for each action they perform one improves muscular action consciously68. Muscles are unique fibers because, they can ________.A. contractB. stretchC. retractD. do all of the above69. Under a microscope, muscle cells appear to be _______.A. textured like woodB. colored like woodC. smooth and redD. short and thick70. According to th e selection more than half of a person’s body is composed of ______.A. voluntary musclesB. involuntary musclesC. muscle fibersD. sensory nervesPassage ThreeThe large part which war played in English affairs in the Middle-Ages, the fact that the control of the army and navy was in the hands of those that spoke French, and the circumstances that much of English fighting was done in France all resulted in the introduction into English of a number of French military terms. The art of war has undergone such changes since the battles of Hastings, Lewes, and Agincourt that many words once common are now only in historical use. Their places have been taken by later borrowings, often like wise from French, many of them being words acquired by the French in the course of their wars in Italy during the sixteenth century. Yet we still use French words of the Middle Ages when we speak of the army and the navy, of peace, enemy, battle, soldier, guard and spy, and we have kept thenames of officers such as captain and sergeant. Some of the French terms were introduced into English because they were needed to express a new object or a new idea. In other cases a French and a native English word for the same thing existed side by side. Sometimes one or the other has since been lost from the language; but sometimes both the borrowed and the native word have been still in common use.71. The main idea of this passage is that ______.most of today’s common English military terms dated from the sixteenth century or latera study of the English vocabulary shows the important part which war has played in the history of Englandmany French words borrowed into English during the Middle Ages have since disappeared from the languagemany military terms used in English were originally borrowed from French, some as early as the Middle Ages72. All of the following have something to do with the introduction into English of many French military terms except that _______.war played an important part in English affairs in the Middle Agesthe English army and navy were controlled by those who spoke French in the war between England and FranceFrance invaded England in the Middle Ages and many battles were fought in England much of English fighting was done in France in the war between England and France73. The art of war has undergone such changes that _______.we no longer use any French words of the Middle Agesmany words once common are not used any longer and they are replaced by Italian wordsFrench military terms have disappeared from the English languagemany words once common are now only in historical use and their places have been taken by the newly-borrowed words74. Which of the following is not the French word borrowed into English during the Middle Ages?A. sergeantB. battleC. spyD. fight75. The writer takes the words “battle” and “fight” as an example to show______.French words are needed to express something newa French and a native word for the same thing have been still in common use side by side French word or the other has been lost from the English language “battle” is the borrowed word and “fight” is the native onePassage Four“Fingers were made before forks” when a person gives up good manners, puts aside knife and fork, and dives into his food, someone is likely to repeat that saying.The fork was an ancient agricultural tool, but for centuries no one thought of eating with it. Not until the eleventh century, when a young lady from Constantinople brought her fork to Italy, did the custom reach Europe.By the fifteenth century the use of the fork was widespread in Italy. The English explanation was that Italians were averse to eating food touched with fingers, “Seeing all men’s fingers are not alike clean.” Engl ish travellers kept their friends in stitches while describing this ridiculous Italian custom.Anyone who used a fork to eat with was laughed at in England for the next hundred years. Men who used forks were thought to be sissies, and women who used them were called show-offs and overnice. Not until the late 1600’s did using a fork becomea common custom.76. The custom of eating with a fork was _______.A. brought to Europe from AmericaB. begun when forks were inventedC. brought to Europe from AsiaD. invented by Italians77. By the fifteenth century forks were used _______.A. all over ItalyB. only in ConstantinopleC. widely in EuropeD. In England78.

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneIn the old days, divers used to go down into the sea looking for ships that had sunk, because they hoped to find gold and jewels. Now divers still search for valuablethings in sunken ships, but they also try to bring to the surface the ships themselves, or parts of them. The value of different kinds of metals has increased greatly over the last twenty or thirty years and even though a ship has been under the sea for many years, it may be worth a great deal.One famous sunken ship is th e “Lusitania”, which sank off the southern coast of Ireland in 1915 with a loss of nearly, 1,500 lives. It has four huge propellers made of an expensive metal. Today each of those propellers is worth $ 300,000 or more. The ship lying on the sea-bed has been brought by a man called John Light. He paid about $ 1,200,000 for the whole ship. He hopes to bring up those propellers and sell them. He also hopes to sell other parts of the ship, when he has brought them to the surface, for about $ 600,000.61. Divers today try to bring to the surface _______.A. gold and jewelsB. parts of shipsC. whole shipsD. all of the above62. Diver try to bring up metals because ________.they have been in the sea for a long timegold and jewels are not valuable thingssome kinds of metals are worth a lot of moneyit is easy to bring up metals63. The word “surface” in the passage means the ______.A. marketB. airC. top of a liquidD. sea64. John Light hopes that he may be able to sell all the parts of the “Lusitania” for about _____.A. $12,000B. $300,000C. $1,200,000D. $1,800,00065. John Light bought the “Lusitania” _______.A. before 1915B. before it sankC. after it sankD. after they had brought up the propellersPassage TwoMan’s f irst real invention, and one of the most important inventions in history, was the wheel. All transportation and every machine in the world depend on it. The wheel is the simplest yet perhaps the most remarkable of all inventions, because there are no wheels in nature—no living thing was ever created with wheels. How, then, did man come to invent the wheel? Perhaps some early hunters found that they could roll the carcass of a heavy animal through the forest on logs more easily than they could carry it. However, the logs themselves weighed a lot.It must have taken a great prehistoric thinker to imagine two thin slices of log connected, at their centers by a string stick. This would roll along just asthe logs did, yet be much lighter and easier to handle. Thus the wheel and axle came into being and with them the first carts.66. The wheel is important because _______.A. it was man’s first real inventionB. all transportation depends on itC. every machine depends on itD. both B and C67. The wheel is called _______.A. simpleB. complicatedC. strangeD. unusual68. It was remarkable of man to invent the wheel because _______.A. it led to many other inventionsB. man had no use for it thenC. there were no wheels in natureD. all of the above69. The wheel was probably invented by ______.A. a group of early huntersB. the first men on earthC. a great prehistoric thinkerD. the man who made the first cart70. This selection says that the first wheel may have been a ______.A. round piece of stoneB. heavy logC. piece of metalD. slice of log Passage ThreeEating in space is different from eating on earth. The food that astronauts carry with them does not look like the food you eat. Some food is carried in closed bags. It is cooked and frozen before the astronauts get it. All the water is removed from the food. In the spaceship the astronaut puts the water back. He “shoots” hot or cold water into the food bag with a special gun. He eats the food through a small hole in the bag.Other foods come in bite sizes. The astronaut puts a whole piece in his mouth at once. There an be no crambs. Crambs would float around the spaceship and get in the way. Meat and cake often come in bite-sized pieces. Astronauts can’t drink water from open cups. The water would float in drops in the air. The water is put in the special gun. The astronaut shoots the water into his mouth. Eating in space is not easy. Astronauts must learn to eat this way.71. Some space foods are carried in _______.A. water gunsB. lunch boxesC. closed bagsD. crumbs72. The story does not say this, but from what we have read, we can tell that ______.you get much hungrier in space than you doyou can’t have water to drink in a spaceshipastronauts must learn many new and different thingsyou can’t eat anything in a spaceship73. Why can’t astronauts drink water from cups?The water would come from the open cups.The water would spill all over their food.Crambs would float in the cups.The cups would float in the air.74. The main idea of the whole story is that _______.there is more food and water in space than on eartheating and drinking in space is a special problemastronauts can never eat or drink in a spaceshipthere is no food or water in a spaceship75. Which of the following does the story lead you to believe?Food for astronauts must be made in a special way.All meat on earth comes in bite-sized pieces.Astronauts will only eat cakes made from crambs.Astronauts have to go hungry in a spaceship.Passage FourThe energy which the sun radiates goes in every direction, and only a minute part of it falls on the earth. Even so, it represents power of about 5,000,000 horsepower (马力) per square mile per day; the sun gives us as much energy every miunte as mankind utilizes in a year. At present, we use this energy indirectly, and it is our final source of power. Coal represents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousands of years ago. Water power results from the rain formed by vapor which comes from the evaporation of water under the sunshine. Even windmills operate because of air currents set in motion by the different heating affects of the sun in different places. Some day, through chemistry or some type of solar engine, we shall harness this great source of energy more directly. Already a scientist has worked out an engine, surprisingly efficient, in which the sun’s rays are concentrated through mirrors on a tube of water to create steam.76. How much energy given off by the sun reaches the earth?A. 100% but indirectly.B. 5%.C. 50%.D. only a very tiny amount.77. The reason why all the solar energy falling on the earth can’t be utilized is that ______.only a very small part is available the sun is too distant from the earth it takes thousands of years for this energy to be stored up in coal and oil our scientific knowledge is not sufficient78. Which of the following statements is NOT true?Even windmill’s action depends on the sun.The sun produces enormous energy for man to make use of.Some day man will be able to utilize 100% of the solar energy that gets to the earth.The sun produces different heating effects in different places.79. In order to support this argument, the writer gives the example that _______.a machine using solar energy efficiently has already been developedthe sun is our final source of powerman uses only a tiny part of the sun’s energythe part of the sun’s energy we use is used indirectly80. This passage centers mainly on ________.harnessing energy through chemistryour last source of powerhow water power is producedthe amount of solar energy that can be utilizedⅤ.

Other people believe that women have the ability to compete with men. There have been many famous women state leaders and great scientists in the world.

Give the seedling bad breath!The same chemical that gives people bad breath after they have eaten garl ic can save small trees from being eaten by animals.A kind of chemical selenium(硒), which is also found in garlic, is planted in the soil near a young tree. The tree’sroots absorb the selenium which is t hen carried to the leaves.From there the selenium is used to form a chemical called dimethyl seleni de (乙烷硒化物)-the same chemical made in the human mouth after eating garlleaves a ic. As deer wander around looking for food, they smell the seedlings’ nd leave the plants alone.The selenium is important. Why? Because each year deer eat millions of worth of trees farm seedlings.dollars’ So far, selenium has been tested only on Douglas fir (枞树) seedlings, but researchers t hink they could protect fruit trees and garden plants, too.61.

Some kinds of hair loss are temporary (暂时的), an effect of illness. In tho se cases we can expect the hair to grow back.It all depends on whether the hair root is alive. If it is not, hair loss is p ermanent and nothing will help.Some daily loss of hair is a normal, healthy sign. Most people lose betwe en 40 to 50 scalp hairs each day.Each of these scalp hairs grows for from two to six years and then rests.

Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of i t in his writings, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work.For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early inter continental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was littl e reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question “What is at the bottom of the ocean had to be answered with any commercial consequence w as when the layin s?” g of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineer had to know the depth profile (起伏形状) of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company tur ned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been re sponsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings (测水深) were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, som e of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geog raphy of the Sea.The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permane nt and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defi ed contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in deeper parts of the sea.Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition (考察), which lasted for four years and brought home tho usands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scie ntists for years and led to five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.76. The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies take on ________.A. an academic aspectB. a military a spectC. a business aspectD. an international aspect77. It was ________ that asked Maury for help in oceanographic studies.A. the American NavyB. some early intercontinental travelersC. those who earned a living from the seaD. the company which proposed to lay an undersea cable78. The aim of the voyages Maury was responsible for in the 1840s was _______.to make some sounding experiments in the oceansto collect samples of sea plants and animalsto estimate the length of cable that was neededto measure the depths of the two oceansin the 5th paragraph probably means “________”.79. “Defied” A. doubtedB. gave proof toC. challengedD. agreed to80.

In one sense there are as many different kinds of English as there are speakers of it. 22 two speakers speak in exactly the same way. We can always hear differences 23 them, and the pronunciation of English varies a great deal in different geographical 24 . How do we decide what sort of English to use 25 a model? This is not a question that can be 2 6 in the same way for all foreign learners of English.

Reading Comprehension (60 points with each of 3 points)Directions: There are four reading passages in this part Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneResearchers have found that REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is important to human beings. This type of sleep generally occurs four or five times during one night of sleep lasting five minutes to forty minutes for each occurrence. The deeper a person’s sleep becomes, the longer the periods of rapid eye movement.There are physical charges in the body to show that a person has changed from NREM (non-rapid eye movement) to REM sleep. Breathing becomes faster, the heart rate increases, and, as the name implies, the eyes begin to move quickly.Accompanying these physical changes in the body is a very important characteristic of REM sleep. It is during REM sleep that a person dreams.36. According to the passage, how often does REM sleep occur in one night?A. OnceB. TwiceC. Four of five timesD. Fortytimes37. The word “deeper” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to which of the following?A. heavier.B. louder.C. stronger.D. happier.38. Which of the following shows that a person is NOT dreaming in his sleep?A. His eyes begin to move.B. His breathing becomes faster.C. His heart rate increases.D. His eyes stop moving.39. The subject of this passage is ________.A. why people sleepB. the human need for REM sleepC. the characteristic of REM sleepD. physical changes in the human body40. Which of the following is the best title of the article?A. REM SleepB. Two Types of SleepC. SleepersD. What Happens to SleepersPassage TwoThe Mother Goose Stories, so well known to children all over the word, are commonly said to have been written by a little old woman for her grandchildren. According to some people, she lived in Boston, and her real name was Elizabeth Vergoose. Her son-in-law, a printer named Thomas Fleet, was supposed to have published the famous stories and poems for small children in 1719. However, no copy of this book has ever been found, and most scholars doubt the truth of this story—and doubt, moreover, that Mother Goose was ever a real person. They point out that the n ame is a direct translation of the French “Mere I’ Oye.” In 1697 the Frenchman Charles Perrault published the first book in which this name was used. The collection contains eight tales, including “Sleeping Beauty,” “Cinderella,” and “Puss in Boots.” But Perrault did not originate these stories; they were already quite popular in his day, and he only collected them.41. What is suppssed to have happened in 1719?A. Elizabeth Vergoose wrote the first Mother Goose Stories.B. Thomas Fleet published the Mother Goose Stories.C. The Mother Goose Stories were translated into French.D. Charles Perrault published the first Mother Goose Stories.42. Most scholars consider Mother Goose to be _________.A. a real personB. a book written by a little old womanC. a collection by Elizabeth VergooseD. a translation from French43. When Perrault published the first book in 1679, _______.A. no story of the book had been known to peopleB. some stories of the book were already well knownC. few people were interested in the stories of the bookD. stories like “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella” became popular44. The name used in the first book published in 1679 is supposed to have been _______.A. Mother GooseB. Mere I’ OyeC. Elizabeth VergooseD. Charles Perrault45. On the basis of this passage, what may be concluded about the real origin ofstories “Sleeping Beauty” and “Cinderella”?A. They were invented by Elizabeth Vergoose.B. They were invented by Thomas Fleet.C. They were invented by Charles Perrault.D. Their writers are unknown.Passage ThreeBanks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors (储户) not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fearthat a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’ windows, The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own money from the bank. Mrs Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.46. A bank run happens when _______.A. a bank is closed for one or more daysB. too many depositors try to draw out their money at one timeC. there is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one timeD. tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank47. The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’s bank were told to ________.A. explain why they could not pay out all accountsB. pay out accounts as requestedC. make the depositors believe that the bank was standD. pay out money as slowly as possible48. The main cause of a bank run is _______.A. loss of confidenceB. lack of moneyC. crowds of peopleD. inexperienced tellers49. Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught say?A. She know that the bank was not sound.B. She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank.C. She was not able to draw out her money.D. She was tempted to draw out her money.50. According to the passage, the actions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaught’s bank wereaffected mainly by the _______.A. ease with which they could get their moneyB. confidence that Mrs. Vaught showedC. failure of several other banks to openD. confidence shown by other depositors of the bankPassage FourOne of the greatest problems for those settlers in Nebraska in the last quarter of the previous century was fuel. Little of the state was forested when the first settlers arrived and it is probable that by 1880, only about one-third of the originally forested area remained, down to a mere 1 percent of the state’s 77,000 square miles. With wood and coal out of the question, and with fuel needed year-round for cooking, and during the harsh winter months for heating, some solution had to be found.Somewhat improbably, the buffalo provided the answer. Buffalo chips (干粪块) were found to burn evenly, hotly, and cleanly, with little smoke and interestingly, no odor, Soon, collecting them became a way of life for the settlers’ children who would pick them up on their way to and from school, or take part in competitions designed to counteract their natural reluctance. Even a young man, seeking to impress the girl he wanted to marry, would arrive with a large bag of chips rather than with a box of candy or a bunch of flowers.51. What is the main topic of this passage?A. T he solution to the Nebraska settlers’ fuel problem.B. Life in Nebraska in the late ninteenth century.C. The imporance of the American buffalo.D. Deforestation in Nebraska in the late nineteenth century.52. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Nebraska was not a densely-forested state even before the settlers arrived.B. The children enjoyed collecting the buffalo chips.C. The children spent a lot of time collecting the chips.D. Buffalo chips were satisfactory as a fuel.53. The passage implies that buffalo chips were needed _______.A. in greater amounts in summerB. in greater amounts in winterC. only in summerD. only in winter54. Which of the following does the author not express surprise at?A. The children needed competitions to them.B .The buffalo chips gave off no smell.C. Buffalo chips were the answer to the settlers’ fuel problem.D. Young men took bags of buffalo chips to their girl friends.55. What’s the be st title of the passage?A. Early SettlersB. One Use of the Buffalo ChipsC. Nebraska’s ProblemsD. How Young Men Express Their LⅤ.Ⅳ. writing (40points)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic “Positive and Negative Aspects of Sport”.

When taking part in sports, we get the chance to train almost all parts of our body. There is no doubt that properly balanced physical activities keep us physically fit. Furthermore, sports can enrich our life and maintain our psychological health. Through participation, everyone can learn that on the playing field he not only competes for himself but also for his team. Sports teach us about consideration, cooperation and optimism, and how to cope with difficulties. But sports can do harm to those people who cannot balance their activities properly. Training too hard may hurt their body, exhaust their energy and even make them disabled. Personally, I love sports. I enjoy participating in sports. I feel that I not only gain a well-balanced life through sports, but also get more chances to move closer to nature. Sports have really added happiness to my daily life.。

Then the barter system was replaced by coins, which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coins were followed by fiat money, paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept them.Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms, reducing it to a series of “bits and bytes”, or units of computerized information, going between machines at the speed of light. Already, electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks, companies, and countries through computers and telecommunications devices.46、Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage? (B) (2分)A: International Banking PoliciesB:The History of Monetary ExchangeC:The Development of Paper CurrenciesD:Current Problems in the Economy47、According to the passage, which of the following was the earliest kind of exchange of wealth?

(C) (2分)A:represented a great improvement over barterB:permitted easy transportation of wealthC:were made of precious metalsD:could become collector’s items50、Which of the following statements about computerized monetary systems is NOT supported by the passage?(C) (2分)A:They promote international trade.B:They allow very rapid money transfers.C:They are still limited to small transactions (交易).D:They are dependent on good telecommunications systems.At the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. Movement of each group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet. The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one. Dark brown made people more active, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented. Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same photos, but each group was in an ordinary room—a nice office. The third was in a tastefully designed living room with carpeting. Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did. Other studies that students do better on tests taken in comfortable room than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.51、Which of the following is the best expression of the main idea of this passage?(B) (2分)A:People in beautiful rooms tend to give higher marks to photos of faces than people in ugly roomsB:The color and general appearance of a room have a deeper effect on the behavior of the people in itC:The University of Kansas has studied the effects of the color of room on people’s behaviorD:Beautifully furnished, light-coloured rooms make people more comfortable than ugly, dark rooms52、According to the passage, we may conclude that the whiter a room is ________.(A) (2分)A: the longer people like to stay in itB: the sooner people in it will leaveC: the more active people in it will becomeD:the more excited people53、What is referred to as the “general appearance”in this passage is ________.(D) (2分)A:how many broad windows a room has, through which sunlight might come inB:the size of a roomC:whether there are beautiful walls in a roomD:what the room looks like54、This passage provides us with _______.(A) (2分)A: a piece of scientific information B: a normal lessonC:an interesting test D:a piece of news55、At least how many tests were carried out by the scientists referred to in this passage?
