Key to Model Test 1 Band TwoPart I. WritingAre Families Demanding Too Much from Their Children?Most families demand too much from their children. Usually parents will hope theirchildren to become a musician or a scientist or something else. The children are asked to play the piano and do extra homework everyday.But the parents often ignore the interests of their children, who could not do well because they have to choose what they hate to do. All parents love their children and try to give them their best love. They expect a very successful child. But the problem is, most of the time, their love may be painful for their children. Each child is born unique. Do not force them. Give them their own sky and space, and children have to be themselves. Every child is different. Every child has his/her own position in the world. It is the parents’responsibility to give them the best advice.Part II. Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1. N 根据文章的小标题可知文章介绍的是关于保险的一些内容，而政府提供的保险只是其中的内容之一，并不是文章的主要内容。

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write short essay on Limiting the Use of Disposable Plastic Bags. Y ou should write at least 120 words following the outline given below:1. 一次性塑料袋的使用2. 使用一次性塑料袋带来的问题3. 限制一次性塑料袋的意义Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes) Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1. For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A),B),C) and D). For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Popularity That CountsIt seems that the great desire among the young is to be popular. And once they achieve popularity, they want to keep it, improve on it, and expand it.Those are the years when you should be finding out who you are and what you stand for. But the desire to be popular can force you into looking and acting like everyone else. Y ou can lose yourself in a sea of identical (完全相同的) hairstyles and thought styles.I was forced to think about popularity not too long ago in a talk I had with my daughter. Margy had to change schools when my busy work schedule made it necessary for me to move houses. I suppose that, for a girl in her teens, entering a new school is about as easy as spending a season alone in the tropical jungles (热带雨林). At least that’s how Margy found it at first. However, as the school year drew to a close, one student after another came to her. All told her how much they liked to be friends sooner. Why, they wanted to know, hadn't Margy let them know earlier in the school year what she was really like?Why, Margy a sked me with some concern, hadn’t she made all those friends sooner? Why had it taken them so long to get to know her and like her?I told Margy that I would have been more concerned if she had been an instant social success in her new school. That, to me, would have been proof that she had betrayed her true self (有悖于自我本色) in order to become popular. Nobody can please everyone. If you try to do so, you will find values as lasting as soap bubbles (泡) blown into the air. The people with whom you ought to be friends will find you in good time. And you will find them. Sometimes young people try to force friendships into bloom by opening their innermost (最深处的) thoughts to people they have just met. Such friendships are the least likely to last. What's the hurry? If you have five really close friends in your lifetime, you will be doing very well.I hear many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. Y ou should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion (反叛). It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (企图抓住) at one another's hands for reassurance (放心).They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up crowded round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting thus-and-so is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out (创建) a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. Y ou may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. Y ou may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yours elf. Popularity will come with the people who respect you f or who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.(686 words) 注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1上作答。

It would be good to think that no one who is really bright can fail to become successful when the state system is apparently so thorough. It is obvious, for instance, that many children from less rich homes reach university or do well in other ways.Unfortunately, we now have plenty of evidence that many children of every level of ability do much less well than they could. For instance, during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence of all males aged between 18 and 20. Half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability groups had left schools at 15.It has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to university is almost the same now as it was in 1939. One study of 5,000 children from birth to 21 years old indicated that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached 16 years old. Moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the sexes, but for more boys than girls stay in education after 16.It is clear from this and much other evidence that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from the prizes—money, social respectability, and interesting jobs, which higher education gives. It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social circumstances. Their parents often need the extra money another wage-earner can bring in; they do not value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy. It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, “It is up to you.”31.What’s the purpose of raising the school leaving ag e?A.To provide steps up the ladder of success.B.To provide children with the same chances in society.C.To give children the right to a better school.D.To give children a more thorough state system.32.In people’s eyes, the education system__________________.A. provides enough chances to success for children.B. misses no children who are really clever.C. only provides chances for children from rich families.D. does not give equal chances to all bright children.33.Working class children are felt to be at a disadvantage because______________ .A. many of the clever ones leave school early.B. fewer go to university than ever before.C. more than half leaves school when they are 16.D. fewer boys than girls stay at school after 16.34.Many children leave school early because__________________.A.their social circumstances make them unhappyB. they have to work to help support their familyC. their school is a dull and unhappy placeD. their parents don’t allow them to make their own decisions35. This article shows that equal opportunity in education__________________.A. is a thing of the pastB. has not yet been achievedC. is there for those who merit itD. has greatly improved our societyPassage 2There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals. Short-range goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less or two weeks, or possible months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, out long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-range goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-range goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.36. Our long-term goals mean a lot__________________.A. if we complete our short-range goalsB. if we cannot reach solid short-term goalsC. if we write down the datesD. if we put forward some plans37.

Once our goals are drawn up, __________________.A. we should stick to them until we complete themB. we may change our goals as we have new ideas and opportunitiesC. we had better wait for the exciting news of successD. we have made great decision40. It is implied but not stated in the passage that __________________.A. those who have long-term goals will succeedB. writing down the dates may discourage youC. the goal is only a guide for us to reach our destinationD. everyone should have a goalSection BDirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks .You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage .Read the passage through carefully before making your choices .Each choice in bank is identified by a letter .Please circle the corresponding letter for each item on theDirections: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1. For question 1- 7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A),B),C) and D). For question 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.The True Story of a Young ManWhen Reginald Lindsay received a scholarship to Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, what he wanted most was a good job with a good salary. But soon he became interested in the civil rights movement. At present he has a plan which he hopes will take him to Congress as a southern representative.Now in his first year at Harvard Law School, Reg is making careful plans. After earning his degree, he expects to return to the South to practice law among the poor. “I want to help them understand what their rights are and to help them achieve them,” he says. Then he hopes to run for political office at the local and state level until he is ready to try for Congress.Reg grew up in a low-income Negro section of Birmingham, Alabama. Brought up by his grandparents after his parents were divorced while he was vey young, Reg has been living through a period of far-reaching progress in race relations. In the summer of 1968 Reg himself became a good example of this progress when he became the first Negro to the workings of the Georgia State government and encourages them to seek employment there after finishing their education. “I’ve been lucky,” he says. “I seem to have been in the right place at the right time.”But luck is only part of Reg’s story, for he has made the most of opportunities that came his way. He learned to read in kindergarten and began visiting the public library regularly to borrow books. His grandparents encouraged him, though neither of them had much education, and they bought him a set of encyclopedias. “I love those books,”he remembers. “I used to come downstairs before breakfast and read short articles. I enjoyed reading about famous men, and then I would pretend to be one of them. I guess it was partly a childish game and partly an escape. It wasn’t too much fun to be a Negro when I was a kid.”While studying for his bachelor’s degree at Morehouse College, Reg worked on several political campaigns helping candidates get elected to government offices. At the same time he maintained a “B” average while majoring in political science. He worked as a student advisor to earn extra money for his college expenses, and he was granted a scholarship for a year of study at the University of Valencia in Spain.With just two more years to complete at Harvard Law School, which also gave him a scholarship, Reg has made a good start on his professional career. He says, “The good life for me is the kind of life where I can find satisfaction in public service.”1.When Reginald Lindsay received a scholarship to Morehouse College, he wanted _______.A．to get a good job with very good pay B．to move to the southern part of CongressC．to lead the civil rights movement there D．to become a representative of his religion2.After earning his degree from Harvard Law School, Reginald plans to ______.A．return to his hometown to start his career as a lawyer B．go back to the South to help the poor understand their rights C．run for local office to make progress on the civil rights movement D．try for Congress by helping his poor neighbors to achieve their rights 3.Reginald started to face a problem of ______ when he was very young.A．his identity as an outstanding boy B．his grandparents’ ill-treatment C．his parents’ divorce D．his classmates’ envy4._______ Reginald became the first Negro student appointed to a special new program.A．In the year 1968 B．When he was eight years old C．After his parents’ divorce D．Just before his grandpa’s death 5.In what way did Reginald’s grandparents encourage him to read?A．They sent him to kindergarten.

Listening Comprehension （略）Part IV. Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)Section AQuestions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.A)transplant B)solution C)gradually D)transport E)elementalF)conflict G)continually H)mobile I)couples J)agriculturalK)including L)compromise M)requires N)primary O)consistingThe typical pre-industrial family not only had a good many children, but numerous other dependents as well---grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins. Such "extended" families were suited for survival in slow paced __47__ societies. But such families are hard to __48__. They are immobile. Industrialism demanded masses of workers ready and able to move off the land in pursuit of jobs, and to move again whenever necessary. Thus the extended family __49__ shed its excess weight and the so-called "nuclear" family emerged---a stripped-down, portable family unit __50__ only of parents and a small set of children. This new style family, far more __51__ than the traditional extended family, became the standard model in all the industrial countries. Super-industrialism, however, the next stage of eco-technological development, __52__ even higher mobility. Thus we may expect many among the people of the future to carry the streamlining process, a step further by remaining children, cutting the family down to its more __53__ components, a man and a woman. Two people, perhaps with matched careers, will prove more efficient at navigating through education and social status, through job changes and geographic relocations, than the ordinarily child-cluttered family. A __54__ may be the postponement of children, rather than childlessness. Men and women today are often torn in __55__ between a commitment to career and a commitment to children. In the future, many __56__ will sidestep this problem by deferring the entire task of raising children until after retirement.Section BPassage OneQuestion 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Now let us look at how we read. When we read a printed text, our eyes move across a page in short, jerky movement. We recognize words usually when our eyes are still when they fixate. Each time they fixate, we see a group of words. This is known as the recognition span or the visual span. The length of time of which the eyes stop ----the duration of the fixation——varies considerably from person to person. It also varies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and his familiarity with the text. Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lighting and tiredness.Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentrated too much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of this misleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises have been devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in some exercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second. One of the exercises has required students to fix their eyes on some central point, taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in the shape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at each successive fixation. All these exercise s are very clever, but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship between words. Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question the usefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to read isolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuous text.57. The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except ________ .A. one’s familiarity with the textB. one’s purpose in readingC. the length of a group of wordsD. lighting and tiredness58. The author may believe that reading ______.A. requires a reader to take in more words at each fixationB. requires a reader to see words more quicklyC. demands a deeply-participating mindD. demands more mind than eyes59. What does the author mean by saying “but it’s one thing to improve a person’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a text e fficiently.” in the second para graph?A. The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted.B. The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve both the ability to see and to comprehend words.C. The readin g exercises mentioned can’t help to improve an efficient reading.D. The reading exercises mentioned has done a great job to improve one’s ability to see words.60. Which of the following is NOT true?A. The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time.B. Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training.C. The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading.D. The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text.61. The tune of the author in writing this article is ________A .criticalB .neutralC .pessimisticD .optimisticPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition of each new skill——the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are serious overtimes of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child’s own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality. Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach（说教）,their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure. When they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled, a sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.62. Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills _______.A. should be avoidedB. is universal among parentsC. sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD. will make him lose interest in learning new things63. In the process of children’s learning new skills parents _______.A. should not expect too much of themB. should create as many learning opportunities as possibleC. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD. should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read64. The second paragraph mainly tells us that _______.A. parents should be strict with their childrenB. parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situationC. parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the communityD. parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children alone65. The word “precept” in paragraph 3 probably means _______.A. ideaB. punishmentC. behaviorD. instruction66. In moral matters, parents should _______.A. observe the rules themselvesB. consistently ensure the security of their childrenC. forbid things which have no foundation in moralityD. be aware of the marked difference between adults and childrenPart V. Cloze (15 minutes)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A. B. C. and D. on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage.For the past two years, I have been working on students’ evaluation of classroom teaching. I have kept a record of informal conversations __67__ some 300 students from at __68__ twenty one colleges and universities.

For question 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Table Manners: a Cultural DifferenceFor many Westerners, the Chinese dinner table is a place where they have no idea how to act. There are no forks or knives for the Westerners to use. The Chinese people makes great, sweeping arm movements that go over large sections of the table, passing over both food and friends alike. The scene is fantastic（非常好的）, but it leaves many foreigners at a loss（让……迷惑）for what to do.In most Western restaurants and homes there are rules about how to talk, eat and sit that are highly restrictive（受限制的）, and they create an environment that is completely different from what we find here in China. In my childhood home, dinner was enjoyed with soft voices, and the topics open for discussion were very much restricted. We were not allowed to bring up anything that was potentially upsetting; body functions（上洗手间）, bugs, murder and crimes in general were all strictly forbidden topics. If I had to leave the table to use the toilet, I had to excuse myself without mentioning what I was really going to do. "May I be excused, please? I need to wash my hands." I would say.My mother would say, "Sure." My father would often play a joke on us by saying, "Y our hands don't look dirty to me!"As for eating, we did it quietly. No eating noises were allowed.Everything must be done as quietly as possible. Therefore, we had to eat with our mouths closed. To make a loud noise was, perhaps, the worst offence possible. While drinking soup or coffee or wine, we had to try to be quiet. If any sound whatever was made when eating and drinking, it constituted bad manners! With that in mind, it was, of course, unthinkable to speak with one's mouth full of food, so speaking only occurred（发生）before or after one had taken in food and swallowed（吞咽）it.How one sits at the table is also prescribed（被规定的）. One is to sit up straight with the left hand below the table holding some paper or cloth and the right hand holding the fork or spoon. The only time one is allowed to have both hands on the table is when one is using a knife to cut something, but as soon as the cutting is done, the left hand goes back under the table. Also, elbows（肘）are not allowed on the table. Therefore, one leans the arm against the edge of the table just below the elbow. One should never reach for any food on the table; one should ask someone sitting near it to give it to you. "Would you please pass the potatoes?" "May I trouble you for the salt?" These are phrases that you are likely to hear on any given night of the week at a family dinner.When a guest comes from the West to enjoy a meal with you, it would be a good idea for you to explain to your guest what will happen at dinner and to find out if a fork would be easier to use than chopsticks（筷子）. In my time in China, I have come to enjoy Chinese table manners far more than those prescribed by my own culture, but for many it is impossible to adjust to. The best policy is to ask your guest questions to find out what he or she is comfortable with.1.How do many foreigners feel when they sit at a Chinese dinner table?A. fantasticB. customaryC. confusedD. indifferent2. Which of the following topic is not allowed at table according to Western manners?A. school workB. holidaysC. newsD. body functions3.

复旦大学《21世纪大学英语》第二册自主学习《一课一练》测试题参考答案Unit 1Part I writingA Letter of ApologyDear Mr. Wang,I am writing to apologize for my late assignment. The assignment which you assigned us last Monday was due this Friday, but to my regret, I haven’t even started i t yet. I feel really sorry for not handing in the assignment on time and for the inconvenience it would bring to you.I caught a serious cold last week and the doctor asked me to stay in bed for a week since I was very weak and the weather was very cold th ese days. Therefore, I couldn’t go to the library to get the necessary referential information which was needed for my assignment.

Although most of us are just average student with average intelligence, who can honestly say that, he or she never has thought of becoming a top student?Many people think that top students are genius, but according to my observation, top students are just average students who have the following characteristics .to begin with, top students seem to have clear and concrete goals in their life. They know what they want and will never give up whatever difficulties they come across. Next, top students seem to have very good study habits. They listen to the teachers attentively and answer the teachers’ questions actively in class and do what the teachers ask them to do after class. They read other books related to the subject to widen their scope of knowledge. Finally, top students seen to have a wide variety of interests. They engage themselves in all kinds of activities. As a result, they also excel in other aspects.I am also determined to become a top student. I will reared the top students as my models and will go out of my way to get to know them and learn form them.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1-7 ABCADBA8.

When Christmas or Valentine Day comes, youngsters flood into bars, restaurants and department stores to celebrate these festivals which their ancestors know little about.The reason behind this social phenomenon is obvious: in a society dominated by mass media and consumerism, festivals and holidays from abroad are labeled as “fashionable and new”, while traditional ones as something” out of date or old”. Young people all over the world have regarded western life style depicted in Hollywood films as their ultimate goal of life. Therefore, it’s no wonder that Chinese young people love Christmas much more spring Festival.The influence of such a social phenomenon should be carefully studied. In my opinion, the widespread and recognition of western holidays will definitely harm our traditional value. If we don’t take some measures, in years to come, Chinese cultural heritage may be alien to our offspring. It’s high time that the government took some action.Part II Reading comprehension1-7 CDDBDCA 8.bad manners e a knife 10.adjust toPart III Listening comprehension(omitted)Part IV Reading Comprehension47-51 ENGDB 52-56 LFJOA 57-61 CADCA 62-66 ADBCBPart V Cloze67-71 CABAB 72-76 ADCAC 77-81 BCAAB 82-86 DABDAPart VI Translation87.When the temporary job came to an end88.To ensure that their joint ventures in Japan are profitable89.thus smoothing over the conflict between the two90.George’s frequent help with the multitude of problems they ran into91.justify himself in giving the clerk the big salaryPart VII Multiple Choice 1-5 FIAHM 6-10 EOJCB 11-15LGKND Part VIII Matching1-5 DACEB 6-10 IHFGM 11-13 KJNPart IX Blank-filling1,with 2.from 3.into 4.up 5.into 6.over 7.with 8.in 9.by 10.inPart X Translation1.A multitude of little things may escalate into big emotional battles.2.The conflicts are mainly due to cultural differences.3.No one could see him as a threat to their careers.4.The managers asked his advice on a wide range of matters.5.This is a profitable, thriving and growing venture.6.He began his love affair with Japanese culture in his thirties.7.His employer tried to keep him an the payroll.8.It worked the other way around.Unit 4Part I WritingThe Way to SuccessEveryone tries to achieve success in his career, but someone finally attains his aim while the other fails. Why? The successful one continues his cause to the end through long period of hard work, but the one that has failed is easily disappointed and stops halfway. Strong will, perseverance and diligence are the keys to success. A man of strong will and perseverance always has an inflexible spirit. He sticks to his cause no matter how tough it might be. Sun Yat-sun was such a man. Many of his attempts failed, but he held to his purpose with firmness and at last he succeeded. Diligence means steadiness in one’s work and study. Marx often worked 15 hours a day. Life is short and we have too much to do. Without diligence no one can achieve anything.I believe that where there is a will there is a way and that success belongs to whoever can put up with long years of patient toil and constant effort. This is the way to success.

Some ambitious Chinese youngsters have shifted their attention from domestic schoolings to the overseas education, dreaming of getting degrees from abroad.There are several reasons to cause this change. First of all, with the globalization and much more frequent communications with developed countries, most people in China have realized the wide gaps in many fields, especially in science and technology, between China and western countries. They thirst for studying aboard to get ready better for the fierce competition in the job-hunting market. Moreover, the life in foreign countries is usually attractive to young people and studying aboard may satisfy their curiosity. Besides, the rapid development of our mother country and the remarkable rise in our income make it practical to study abroad, which is almost impossible to Chinese students in the past.The move-out of our students changes our society a lot. On the one hand, studying abroad widens their views and offers more job chances. On the other hand. if the majority of them don't go back to China our motherland will probably suffer a significant loss which may be difficult to be estimated by money.Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)1-7 CBDB CDD 8. great shock. 9. nursing care 10. speech synthesizerPart III Listening Comprehension (omitted)Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)47-56 KDACJGMOFI57-61 BAADB 62-66 CBBCDPart V Cloze67-71 CADBA 72- 76 BCABD 77-8J DACBC 82-86 ACABDPart VI Translation87. is noted for its academic achievements88. optimism and courage89. managed to get the machine working again90. sprang from the driver 's carelessness91. dreamed /dreams of going to Paris to see the sightsPart VII Multiple Choice1-10 EJHCDAFBGPart VIIL Matching1-1OCADBH FEGJIPart IX Word SpellingI. restrict 2. virtually 3. obstacle 4.

One reason for that comes from the tradition of society. Most parents, teachers judge students from their marks. High marks means honor. So students study hard to get high marks in order to satisfy their parents, please their teachers. The other reason can be found in our education system. It is marks that decide a student’s fate. As a result, the students have to gain high marks in their studies. In their point of view, marks are the most important thing.Other students pay more attention to their ability, because they believe ability can accompany them to the end of their lives. Everyone is bound to graduate from schools and step into society, so they have to learn to communicate with other people, to deal with difficulties and to face the sharp competition. All this should be developed in school, so they consider the ability the most important.I believe that a grading system is good and necessary for a school, but it should not be the only measure of a person’s ability. Schools should set up more elective courses, for instance, to train the students to solve practical problems.Part 21-7.C B D A B C B8. your habits and attitudes9. thinking you can’t think.10. as a waste of time.Part 447-56 B D F I N H E J A O57-61 C B D B C 62-66 D C B C APart 5 cloze67-71 B C C A B 72-76 D B D A C 77-81 C B C B C 82-86 A C D B D Part 6 translation87.

What is emotional intelligence exactly? According to Goleman Emotional Intelligence consists of five key elements.The first is knowing one‟s own emotions: being able to recognize that one is in an emotional state and having the ability to identify which emotion is being experienced even if it is not a particularly comfortable feeling to admit to e.g. jealously or envy.Emotional awareness can then lead to managing one‟s emotions. This involves dealing with emotions like jealousy 、resentment and anger etc, that one may have difficulty accepting by perhaps giving oneself comfort food or doing nice things when one is feeling low. Many people do this instinctively by buying chocolate or treating themselves; others are able to wrap themselves in positive thoughts or …mother themselves‟. There are of course many people who are incapable of doing this and so need to be taught.The third area is self-motivation. Our emotions can simultaneously empower and hinder us so it is important to develop the ability to control them.Strategies can be learnt whereby emotions are set aside to be dealt with at a later date. For example when dealing with the success or good fortune of others it is better not to suppress any negative emotion that arises. One just has to recognize it is there. And then one just needs to be extra careful when making decisions and not allow one‟s emotions to cloud the issue by letting them dictate how one functions with that person. The separation of logic and emotion is not easy when dealing with people.As social beings we need to be able to deal with other people which brings us to the next item on Goleman‟s list namely: recognizing emotions in other people. This means in effect having or developing “social radar” i n learning to read the weather systems around individual or groups of people. Obviously leading on from this is the ability to handle relationships. If we can recognize understand and then deal with other people‟s emotions we can function better both socially and professionally. Not being tangible emotions are difficult to analy ze and quantify compounded by the fact tha t each area in the list above does not operate in isolation. Each of us has misread a friend‟s or a colleague‟s behavior to u s and other people. The classic example is the shy person categorized by some people as arrogant and distant and by others as lively and friendly and very personable. How can two different groups make a definitive analysis of someone that is so strikingly contradictory? And yet this happens on a daily basis in all our relationships — even to the point of misreading the behavior of those close to us! In the work scenario this can cost money. And so it makes economic sense for business to be aware of it and develop strategies for employing people and dealing with their employees.All common sense you might say. Goleman himself has even suggested that emotional intelligence is just a new way of describing competence; what some people might call savior-faire or savoir-vivre. Part of the problem here is that society or some parts of society have forgotten that these skills ever existed and have found the need to re-invent them.But the emergence of Emotional Intelligence as a theory suggests that the family situations and other social interactions where social skills were honed in the past are fast disappearing so that people now sadly need to be re-skilled.1. Emotional Intelligence as a theory ______.[A] was unheard of until the 1970s [B] is attributed to Daniel Goleman[C] consists of at least five key areas [D] is attributed to Mayer and Salovey2. Which is one way of controlling emotions?[A] To put them to the side to deal with later. [B] To use both logic and emotion.[C] To suppress the negative ones. [D] To hinder them.3. As well as being intangible what is the problem with emotions?[A] They are difficult. [B] They are compounded. [C] They are difficult to qualify. [D] They do not operate in isolation.4. Misreading the behavior of others ______.[A] is always expensive [B] is a classic example [C] happens on a daily basis [D] is most common with those close to us5. Employers need to ______.[A] save money [B] work scenario [C] know about people‟s emotions D] employ and deal with employees6. Goleman links Emotional Intelligence to ______.[A] happiness [B] competence [C] incompetence [D] common sense7. The fact that the idea of Emotional Intelligence has emerged suggests that social interactivities______.[A] are honed [B] happen in the family [C] need to be re-skilled [D] are becoming less frequent8. Knowing one‟s emotions involves both ____________.9. The ability to recognize emotions in other people is like ____________.10. Handling relationships is the key to ____________.Part III Listening Comprehension(略)Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth) (25 minutes)Section AThe development of Jamestown in Virginia during the second half of the seventeenth century was closely __47__ to the making and use of bricks. There were several ___48____ reasons why bricks became important to the colony. Although the forests could __49____ supply sufficient timber, the __50____ of lumbering was extremely difficult, particularly because of the lack of roads. Later, when the timber on the peninsula had been depleted, wood had to be brought from some distance. Building stones were also in short __51___. However, as clay was plentiful, it was inevitable that the colonists would turn to brick- making.In addition to practical reasons for using brick as the principal ___52___ material, there was also an ideological reason. Brick __53____ durability and permanence. The Virginia Company of London instructed the colonists to build hospitals and new __54____ out of brick. In 1662, the Town Act of the Virginia Assembly provided for the construction of thirty-two brick buildings and prohibited the use of wood as a construction material. Had this law ever been successfully enforced, Jamestown would have been a model city. Instead, the residents failed to ___55___ fully with the law. By 1699, Jamestown had ___56___ into a pile of rubble with only three or four habitable houses.Section BPassage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Dam is a barrier constructed across a stream or river to impound water and raise its level. The most common reasons for building dams are to concentrate the natural fall of a river at a given site, thus making it possible to generate electricity; to direct water from rivers into canals and irrigation and water-supply systems; to increase river depths for navigational purposes; to control water flow during times of flood and drought; and to create artificial lakes for recreational use. Many dams fulfill several of these functions. In the United States the network of dams under the Tennessee Valley Authority is an outstanding example of a multipurpose dam development.The first dam of which record exists was built about 4000 BC to divert the Nile in Egypt in order to provide a site for the city of Memphis. Many ancient earth dams, including a number of dams built by the Babylonians, were part of elaborate irrigation systems that transformed unproductive regions into fertile plains capable of supporting large populations. Because of the ravages of periodic floods, very few dams more than a century old are still standing. The construction of virtually indestructible dams of appreciable height and storage capacity became possible after the development of Portland cement concrete and the mechanization of earth-moving and materials-handling equipment.Controlling and using water by means of dams profoundly affects the economic prospects of vase areas. One of the first stages in the progress of developing countries usually involves gaining the ability to use water for power generation, agriculture, and flood protection.57. What is the main idea of this passage?A. To tell the main functions of dams.B. To date the existence of the first dam.C. To emphasize the economic effects of dam.D. To give a brief introduction to dam.58. Which of the following is not mentioned as one the common reasons for building dams?A. People build dams to generate electricity.B. Dams are used to control water flow in time of flood and drought.C. People build dams to divert rivers.D. Dams serves as part of the irrigation system.59. The word “ravage” in the second paragraph may mean ____.A. destructionB. occurrenceC. destroyD. savage60. Many ancient dams mainly served the need to ____.A. generate electricityB. create artificial lakes for recreational useC. irrigate fieldsD. protect people from the suffering of floods61. According to the passage, when did the construction of virtually indestructible dams become possible?A. After many ancient earth dams were destroyed.B. Not until the development of cement concrete and earth moving machines.C. About 4000 BC.D. Before the turn of last century.Passage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.“It hurts me more than you ,” and “This is for your own good.” These are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room., stay home and do homework.That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy on us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizin g we‟ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klo mpus who says of her students “so passive” and wonders what happened. Nothing was demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children‟s passivity. “We‟re not training kids to work any more.” Says Klompus. “We‟re talking about a generation of kids who‟ve never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying …go look it up‟, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It‟s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It‟s time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it‟s for their own good. It‟s time to start telling them no again.62. Children are becoming more inactive in study because ____.A. they watch TV too oftenB. they have done too much homeworkC. they have to fulfill too many dutiesD. teachers are too strict with them63. To such children as described in the passage ____.A. it is easier to say no than to say yesB. neither is easy—to say yes or to say noC. it is easier to say yes than to say noD. neither is difficult—to say yes or to say no64.

For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Written and Unwritten Rules in SwedenIn any society there are a set of rules to abide by and conform to in order to blend in or stay out of trouble. The formal rules, like laws and written regulations are easy to find out about and everyone knows you have to follow them. However, the unwritten rules or customs of a foreign society might be harder to find out about and understand. On this page, we will provide some information about laws/regulations and customs that you may find useful while you are here.Arms-length DistanceThis is the distance Swedish people normally stand apart from each other when talking. Swedes are quite reserved about personal space and if you get too close, you will probably see that the Swede will start to back off. Do not feel offended by this, as it is just normal for us to keep some distance between each other.ConflictsSwedish people like consensus and do not like open conflicts. If you have a conflict with a Swede, it would be better to have a discussion about it rather than to show a great deal of emotion or to become openly angry.Walking, Biking and DrivingWhether you are on a bicycle/walking a track or driving, you will be expected to walk on the left-hand side and bicycle on the right. Keeping this in mind might save you from unexpected collisions. Motor vehicles are always driven on the right-hand side of the road.EscalatorsOn the other hand, when riding an escalator you will be expected to stand on the right-hand side so that people who are in a hurry can walk up the left-hand side.Taking your Shoes offThis is a strange habit for most foreigners, but when you enter someone’s house or fla t, you will have to take your outdoor shoes off in the entrance. It is normal to walk around in your socks, even at someone else's house.SmokingSmoking is not allowed in restaurants, pubs or in public buildings. If there is a designated smoker’s area, us ually outside, this is the only area that you are allowed to smoke. If there is a designated area for smoking inside bars and clubs, no drinks or food can be served or brought into it. Please make it a habit to ask before you smoke, and especially in other people’s homes.The Number that Makes our Country TickAfter you have lived in Sweden for a short while, you will notice that ten little numbers make the world go round, or at least make life in Sweden a great deal easier. Those are the numbers that make up the Swedish personal ID number. In Sweden, this number is used for just about everything that involves the need to identify who a person is. Things like opening a bank account, buying insurance, using on-line booking systems and services or subscribing to a magazine are made much more easier if you have these ten little numbers. However, do not despair, there are usually ways around it. TV LicenseIf you own a TV in Sweden, you are required to report this to the TV license authority and pay the TV license. Every now and then, the TV license authority sends out controllers to visit people who have not reported that they have a TV in order to make sure that their information is correct. Drugs and AlcoholThe purchase and consumption of alcohol is subject to a number of laws and rules. Only persons of 18 years of age or older are allowed to purchase or consume alcoholic beverages. Only licensed serving places and the state owned Systembolaget（瑞典酒类专卖局）are allowed to sell alcoholic beverages that are stronger than 4 volume per cent. If you buy alcohol at a licensed serving place (pub, bar, restaurant), you may not take it outside. It is also forbidden to bring your own alcohol into a bar, pub or restaurant. It is always forbidden to consume alcohol in “publ ic p laces.” This does not include the outdoor serving areas of licensed pubs or restaurants or your own back yard. Sweden has a rather strict view concerning drugs. The purchase, possession and consumption of drugs of any kind (including marijuana), for which you do not hold a valid prescription, is illegal. Of course, the distribution of any kind of drug (even if you have a prescription for it) is strictly illegal. The only place that is legally allowed to sell prescription drugs/medication is Apoteket（瑞典药物局）.Car InsuranceIf you buy a car in Sweden, you are required to insure it from the first day that the ownership of the car is transferred to you. It is the responsibility of the seller to send in the paperwork for the transfer of ownership, but you should check that this is done. If you do not insure the car right away (traffic insurance), you will be fined, and the fine is not cheap. Swedish Motor Insurers have more information. （830 words）注意，此部分试题请在答题卡一上作答1，In Sweden, the written rules are easy to find out and you should abide by themA. TrueB. FalseC.

Examples (49) unspoken rules include unwritten and unofficial organizational hierarchies（等级）, organizational culture, and acceptable behavioral norms governing (50) between organizational members.Some unwritten rules can be strong. For example, the (51) of a ship is always expected to be the last to leave it in a disaster. Also in schools offences like snitching（小偷小摸）can be treated harshly because it is part of the unwritten law that no one shall snitch on another.In the workplace, unspoken rules can have a (52) impact on one’s job satisfaction, advancement opportunities, and career trajectory（轨迹）. For example, research (53) in the United States by the Level Playing Field Institute and the Center for Survey Research and (54) at the University of Connecticut revealed that 36% of white women, 37% of women of color, and 33% of men of color (55) the fact that only certain people are part of important social groups at work as the greatest (56) to fairness in their workplaces. （200 words）Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section.

On the first day some people found they couldn't dock their bikes properly and their usage of the bikes had not registered. Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few "teething problems^ and have said they wouldn't charge for the first day as a "gesture of goodwill： Some other people have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles-Despite the comments, the greerrthinking London Mayor still seems very positive about things, saying, “ My campaign for the capital to become the greatest big cycl ing city in the world has taken a big pedal- powered push forwards. ”11• London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the new bike scheme in order to ________ ・A. reduce the air pollution of the cityB • encourage the citizens to take exerciseC. deal with the city's traffic problemsD ・ increase employment opportunities12- If you want to hire a bike, in which order will you do?a pay for the bike according to the time you use itb.pay for the key to a bikec.cycle in and around central Londond・ sign up as a member to get a keyA. b-d-c-a B・ b-c-a-dC・ d- c- b- a D・ d- b- c- a13.All the following are the problems of the scheme EXCEPT _______ .A. the high cost to hire a bikeB • not registering their usage of the bikesC. not charging for the first day of the schemeD・ clocking the bikes properly14.From the passage we can infer that _______ ・A.London Mayor is confident of the schemeB.the scheme will be cancelled because of the problemsC ・ all the citizens in London support the schemeD・ the cycling revolution is not successfulBWhen we offer our best wishes to others, more often than not, we say: "May you be happy every day”.

Pleasures are rich experiences that simply make us feel good things like eating cake or drinking wine. While pleasures can be quite satisfying, the enjoyment we get from them is short-lived・Satisfactions are activities that we like to do and we give all we have to them. They are often challenging, and we have to draw_on personal skills and strengths to perform them. For some people, satisfactions come with work. Doctors, for example, often become so concentrated in an operation that hours pass without them noticing the time.

第一单元/cet6/201012/120741_4.shtmlLet us suppose that you are in the position of a parent. Would you allow your children to read any book they wanted to without first checking its contents? Would you take your children to see any film without first finding out whether it is suitable for them? If your answer to these questions is "yes", then you are either extremely permissive. If your answer is "no", then you are exercising your right as a parent to protect your children from what you consider to be undesirable influences. In other words, by acting as a censor yourself, you are admitting that there is a strong case for censorship.Now, of course, you will say that it is one thing to exercise censorship where children are concerned and quite another to do the same for adults. Children need protection and it is the parents' responsibility to provide it. But what about adults? Aren't they old enough to decide what is good for them? The answer is that many adults are, but don't make the mistake of thinking that all adults are like you. Censorship is for the good of society as a whole. Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film? No one can set himself up as a superior being. But we must remember two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censors are extremely liberal in their views—often far more liberal than a large section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recognize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor are very far from being "works of art".When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk of the entertainment industry. When censorship laws are relaxed, immoral people are given a license to produce virtually anything in the name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to equate artistic with "pornographic". The vast market for pornography would rapidly be exploited. One of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. To argue in favor of absolute freedom is to argue in favor of anarchy.Society would really be the poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides.57. Permissive parents would ________.[A] let their children read any books they like to[B] not let their children see any films they like to[C] not let their children read any books without first checking their contents[D] let their children see the films with their first checking58. The fact that parents check the contents of the book or the film for their children to read or see shows ________.[A] the necessity of censorship[B] many books and films are bad[C] children need their parents to help them understand more[D] the parents are permissive59. Which of the following statements is NOT true?[A] Some adults can't tell right from wrong.[B] Censorship is compared to the law because both of them perform good service to society as a whole.[C] Censors pay attention only to genuine works of art.[D] Censorship is necessary because many books, plays and films are far from being “works of art”.60. What does the word “corrupt”(Line 5, Para 4) mean?[A] Make morally bad. [B] Hurt. [C] Injure. [D] Damage.61. What would be the best title of this passage?[A] Permissive Parents and Responsible Parents.[B] Censorship and the law.[C] Censors Value Artistic Merits.[D] Censorship Performs Good Service to Society.让我们假设你在父母的位置。

Information Related To The Texti.EskimosAny member of a group of peoples who, with the closely related Aleut, constitute the chief element in the native population of the Arctic and sub-Arctic regions of Greenland, Alaska, Canada, and far eastern Russia.Self-designations vary among the languages and dialects of the Eskimo peoples.They include such names as Inuit, Inupiat, Yupik, and Alutiit, each of which is a regional variant of “the people” or the “real people.” The oldest known Eskimoculture is that from a site on Umnak Island in the Aleutians, for which an age of 3,018 (plus or minus 230) years was recorded. In the late 20th century there were an estimated 17,000 self-described Eskimo: some 51,000 in Greenland and Denmark, 43,000 in Alaska, 21,000 in Canada, and about 1,6000 in Siberia.Traditional Eskimo culture was totally adapted to an extremely cold, snow-and icebound environment in which vegetable foods were almost nonexistent , trees were scarce, and caribou , seal, walrus, and whale meat, and fish were the major food sources. Dogsleds were the basic means of transport on land. Eskimo clothing was fashioned of caribou furs, which provided protection against the extreme cold. In summer many Eskimos lived in animal-skin tents. Their basic social and economic unit was the nuclear family, and their religion was animistic.ii. HollandHistorical region of the Netherlands, divided since 1840 into the provinces of Noord-holland (north Holland) and Zuid-holland). It constitutes the flat, low-lying northwestern portion of the modern country.Holland originated in the early 12th century as a fief of Holy Roman Empire and was ruled by a dynasty of counts that traced its origin to the 9th century. These nobles had reemerged in the 10th century after Viking devastation of the coastal area had ended, and they proceeded to expand their territory of present Noord-Holland northward, at the expense of the Frisians, and eastward and southward, which involved them in a series of wars with the bishops of Utrecht.The name Holland was derived from the region around Dordrecht, which was known as Holtland(“wooden land”).3.
