For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child —things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society.21. According to Paragraph 2, the writer thinks that _______.A. life for a child is comparatively easyB. a child is always loved whatever he doesC. if much is given to a child, he must do something in returnD. only children are interested in life22. After a child grows up, he_____.A. will have little time playingB. has to be successful in finding a jobC. can still ask for help in time of troubleD. should be able to take care of himself23. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. People are often satisfied with their life.B. Life is less interesting for old people.C. Adults are freer to do what they want to do.D. Adults should no longer rely on others.24. The main idea of the passage is that ______.A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some painsB. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hardC. childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s lifeD. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life25. The paragraph following the passage will most probably discuss ______.A. examples of successful young menB. how to build up one’s position in societyC. joys and pains of old peopleD. what to do when one has problems in lifePassage 2Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others as they are similar to or different from it. And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of life of other countries is often a distorted (曲解) one.Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. It is only by traveling in, or living in a county and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. And how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be true from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different after all!Differences between peoples do of course, exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves.26. Every country criticizes ways of life in other countries because they are _______.A. distortedB. normalC. similar to each otherD. different from its own27. One who travels in a foreign country and learns its language will ______.A. find out what its people are likeB. argue in favor of this country and the languageC. know the country and its people betterD. like its inhabitants and their language28. The knowledge one gains by traveling in a foreign county is often _______.A. from second-hand informationB. gathered from other sources than from its inhabitantsC. gained from the arguments about the countryD. different from what one had before the travel29. Differences between peoples ________.A. will gradually disappear because of ease of travelB. do exist even though different nationalities behave exactly alikeC. will always continue to exist and the world will be a dull placeD. will not exist as one hopes30. The underlined word “However” most probably means _________.A. somewhatB. by whatever meansC. anyhowD. no matter whatPassage 3We arranged that Kissinger would fly to Vietnam for talks early in July and then stop in Pakistan on the way back. There he would develop a stomachache that would require him to stay in bed and not be seen by the press. Then, with President Yahya’s cooperation he would be taken to an airport where a Pakistan plane would fly him over the mountains to China.Kissinger’s trip was given the code(密码) name Polo after Marco Polo, another Western traveler who made history by journeying to China. Everything went without a hitch. His slight illness in Islamabad received only minor attention from reporters covering him. They accepted the story that he would be confined to bed for at least a couple of days and began making arrangements for their own entertainment.Because of the need for complete secrecy and the lack of any direct communication facilities between Beijing and Washington, I knew that we would have no word from Kissinger while he was in China. Even after he had returned to Pakistan it would still be important to maintain secrecy. So before Kissinger left, we agreed on a single code word —Eureka －which he would use if his mission were successful.On July 11, Al Haig, who knew our code word, phoned me to saythat a cable from Kissinger had arrived.“What’s the message?” I asked.“Eureka,” he replied.31. Kissinger stopped in Pakistan because ______.A. he happened to have a stomachacheB. he needed a rest after a long journeyC. he had a secret mission to perform thereD. he did not want to be seen by the press32. The reporters in Islamabad believed that ______.A. Kissinger was not feeling wellB. Kissinger had just come back from VietnamC. Kissinger had put off leaving for ChinaD. Kissinger was preparing to entertain them33. The statement “everything went without a hitch” (Para.2) most probably means that ______.A. nothing was easy with the missionB. the plans were carried out with great difficultyC. things went smoothlyD. there was no possibility of success34. There was no news from Kissinger while he was in Beijing, chiefly because _______.A. his trip had to be kept secretB. President Yahya did not go with KissingerC. communication between Beijing and Islamabad was difficultD. the negotiation(谈判) was not successful35. The passage implies that Kissinger’s message “Eureka”was sent _______.A. when the negotiation started in BeijingB. as soon as he arrived in WashingtonC. when he flew to Vietnam on July 11D. when the negotiation was completed in BeijingPassage 4No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the U.S.A. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 144 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Distinguished dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However the Post and the Times are not national newspapers in the sense that The times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed accounts of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensational”, which feature crime, sex and rumor, to the serious,which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with television.Just as American newspapers give way to all tastes, so do they also try and apply to readers for all political persuasions. A few newspapers support extremist (过激分子) groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers attempt to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are essentially moderate. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views in order to present a balanced picture.As in other democratic countries American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once bravely uncovered political scandals (丑闻) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair. The newspapers drew the attention of the public to the fears of the Vietnam War.36. There are fewer national newspapers in ______.A. Britain than in the U.S.A.B. France than in BritainC. the U.S.A. than in Britain or FranceD. France than in the U.S.A. or Britain37. Most American newspapers try to entertain their readers because______.A. they have to keep up a good relation with themB. they have to compete with televisionC. they have to write about crime, sex and rumorD. they have to give factual news in an interesting way38. Many American newspapers attract readers of different political tendency by ______.A. supporting extremist groups from time to timeB. inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for themC. avoiding carrying articles about extremistsD. printing articles representing different political viewpoints39. In this passage the underlined word “press” (Para.2) means ______.A. a machine for printingB. the business of printingC. great forceD. newspapers40. The passage is mainly about ______.A. the characteristics of American newspapersB. the development of American newspapersC. the functions of American newspapersD. the merits and shortcomings of American newspapersPart III Cloze (10 points)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blanksthere are four choices marked A, B, C and D, you should choose one that best fits into the passage. Then mark the answer by blanking the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.If you feel you have a closer relationship with your grandmother on your mother’s side than on you father’s side, it is no surprise to researchers at the universities of Newcastle and Antwerp. 41 on studies in the Netherlands, they claim that maternal grandparents（外祖父母）are likely to make greater efforts to maintain frequent contact 42 their grandchildren than paternal grandparents（祖父母）.They 43 that psychological behaviors related to human evolution are involved: women are always sure of their relationship to their sons or daughters, 44 men can never be wholly certain they are their children biological fathers.Further more, maternal grandparents are always more certain than paternal grandparents 45 a grandchild is related to them: “Thus maternal grandparents may go the extra mile to visit their grandchildren.”The study, 46 by Thomas Pollet and his colleagues, found that for grandparents 47 within 30 km of their grandchildren, more than 30 per cent of maternal grandmothers and 25 per cent of maternal grandfathers had 48 daily or a few times a week. In 49 , this fell to 15 percent for paternal grandparents.Mr. Pollet said: “Even in families where there has been divorce, wefound 50 differences. Grandparents on your mother’s side make the extra effort.”41. A. Based B. Relied C. Agreed D. Taken42. A. for B. to C. in D. with43. A. demand B. speculate C. deny D. require44.

UnexpectedPart IV Translate from English to Chinese (20 points)Directions: Read the following passage and translate the 5 parts underlined in the following passage from English into Chinese and write them on the Translation Paper.Scientists find that hard-working people live longer than average men and women. Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders. (51) Aninvestigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point, work is helpful to health.Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. (52)Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. (53)By work people come into contact with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.(54 )Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient ora teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.(55)From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study hard and live a happy and healthy life.Part V Writing (30 points)For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Animals—Pets or Sources of Food and Clothing?

Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single bar through the center of the letter.Passage OneHere's a familiar story. You're sitting at the dinner table with a furry, four-legged friend scratching at your feet. When you look down, those cute eyes are almost impossible to resist.What is it about a dog's gaze that makes it so charming? A new study by Japanese scientist Miho Nagasawa seems to have found the answer, and it has to do with something called the cuddle（爱抚）chemical.The cuddle chemical has another, more scientific name: oxytocin. Oxytocin is a substance in the blood that encourages bonding. Levels of oxytocin increase, for example, when a mother feeds her newborn baby. According to Nagasawa's study, the same is true when we look deeply into the eyes of a dog.The results of this study can tell us a lot about the history of the bond between humans and dogs. It all started somewhere tens of thousands of years ago. Scientists believe that wolves used to follow humans who were hunting large animals. The wolves would eat the food left behind by the humans.Humans realized that they could use the wolves to help with the hunt, and eventually both species began to work together toward survival.Over time, the wolves that interacted with the humans began to change. They became more loyal to their human partners. The wolves and humans started to depend on each other and bond with each other. These changes are what caused some of the wolves to turn into what we now know as dogs, a new specie^ evolved to better survive in their environment.This process depended a great deal on the bond humans formed with them. And according to Nagasawa's study, this bond was formed with the help of oxytocin, the cuddle chemical.11. What do we know about oxytocin?A. It regulates blood flow.B. It promotes bonding.C. It is in the human gene.D. It is good for health.12. When we look deeply into a dog's eyes, the levels of our oxytocin ____.A. reduce over timeB. go either up or downC. are on the riseD. remain unchanged13. At the beginning wolves followed humans to ____.A. eat the food left by humansB. guard against large animalsC. take humans for foodD. hunt large animals together14. Over time some wolves turned into dogs ____.A. due to their loyaltyB. due to the changing environmentC. for better survivalD. for better cooperation15. What does Nagasawa9s study aim to do?A. Explore the role of human-wolf partnership.B. Show the characteristics of the cuddle chemical.C. Explain the bond between humans and dogs.D. Understand the evolution of species.Passage TwoRed Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK. The aim of the day is to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief which helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in 1985 by the scriptwriter Richard Curtis. He wrote the famous films 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' and 'Notting Hill'. Richard's idea to start Comic Relief was as a response to the severe famine in Ethiopia* It's called Red "Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring and is now so well established that many people consider it to be an unofficial. For example, many schools have non-uniform days.The slogan for the last RND was ‘Do Something Funny for Money' and the money that was collected helped to fund projects in the following areas, treating malaria （疟疾）, education, and mental health. The BBC Red Nose Day program raised £74.3 million! Money-raising events take place all over the country and many schools participate. People also donate money by post, in banks, by phone using a credit card and online.In the evening of Red Nose Day a telethon takes place on the BBC TV channels. It shows on and on a selection of the events of the day, as well as lots of comic sketches and reports of how the money raised will be spent. People also upload videos of local charity events on YouTube and Facebook.So, if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day, now you know why you may find normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things! It's all for a good cause.16. Red Nose Day is ____.A. a traditional holiday in the UKB. a famous event in BritainC. the helping center for poor peopleD. the popular name of a charity17.

A community may include people who have at least one common point of interest. In the past, community members lived relatively close to one another in one geographical location: in the same village, town, or city. Nowadays, however, the word community can mean a national, an international, or even an online group of interacting individuals. Therefore, a "new" definition of community might be "a group of people that recognize that they have something in common."Part Ⅵ Writing (15 points)Directions: You are to write in no less than 100 words on the topic "A good book is a light to the soul."

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneDante Gabriel Rossetti, the famous 19th-century poet and artist, was once approached by a n elderly man. The old fellow had some drawings that he wanted Rossetti to look at and tell him if they were any good, or if they at least showed potential talent.Rossetti looked them over carefully. After the first few, he knew that they were worthless, showing not the least sign of artistic talent. But Rossetti was a kind man, and he told the elderly man as gently as possible that the pictures were without much value and showed little talent. He was sorry, but he could not lie to the man. The visitor was disappointed, but seemed to have expected Rossetti's judgment.He then apologized for taking up Rossetti’s time, but would he just look at a few more drawings—these done by a young art student? Rossetti looked over the second group of drawings and immediately became enthusiastic over the talent they revealed. “These,” he said, “oh, these are good. This young student has great talent. He has a great future if he will work hard and stick to it.”Rossetti could see that the old fellow was deeply moved. “Who is this fine young artist?” he asked. “Your son?” “No,” said the old man sadly. “It is me—40 years ago. If only I had heard your praise then! For you see, I got discouraged and gave up—too soon.”1. An old man asked Rossetti to .A. draw a picture for himB. teach him how to paintC. evaluate his drawingsD. help improve his painting skills2. Which of the following could be best said about Rossetti?A. Critical.B. Sincere.C. Stubborn.D. Creative.3. How did the old man respond to Rossetti’s negative comment?A. He was angry and desperate.B. He was surprised and disappointed.C. He was discouraged, but took it calmly.D. He was hurt, but could do nothing about it.4. Rossetti said that the young art student .A. would have a bright futureB. had some potential, but not great talentC. was as talented as the old manD. showed little talent in painting5. What does the story try to tell us?A. Never give up too easily.B. No pains, no gains.C. Early bird catches the worm.D. It’s never too old to learnPassage TwoSaving energy means saving money. Homeowners know this basic fact, but they often don’t know what kinds of adjustments they can make in their houses and apartments that will result in savings.For those willing to spend some time and money to reap long-term energy savings, an energy assessment is the way to go. An energy assessor will come into your home and assess its energy efficiency. The assessor will find out areas o f your home that use the most energy and offer solutions to lower your energy use and costs. Trained energy assessors know what to look for and can locate a variety of problems that m a y b e resulting i n energy inefficiency,including inadequate insulation(隔热), construction problems, a n d uneven heat distribution.There are quicker and less costly measures that can be taken as well. One way to save money is to replace bulbs with fluorescents(荧光灯). This can result in a saving of more than 50% on your monthly lighting costs.When it’s time to replace old appliances, it’s wise to spend a bit more for an energy efficient model, and b e sure that you are taking advantage of energy-saving settings already on your current refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, or dryer.Windows provide another opportunity to cut your energy costs. Fill the holes or cracks of old windows that might be leaky to let in cold wind, a n d choose double-paned(双层)windows i f you’re building a n addition o r replacing o ld windows. Most areas o f your hom e or apartment offer opportunities to save energy and money. The results are significant and are well worth the effort.6. According to the passage, which of the following would an energy assessor do?A. Change your light bulbs.B. Fix construction problems.C. Replace your old appliances.D. Check your heating system.7. As is implied in the passage, energy assessment is .A. free of chargeB. worthwhile in the long runC. absolutely necessaryD. kind of troublesome8. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Using fluorescent can cut 50% of the lighting costs.B. Energy efficient appliances should be used.C. A local energy company will send an energy assessor on request.D. Some appliances have energy-saving settings.9.According to the passage, double-paned windows .A. are energy efficientB. can only be used as replacementC. are only used in new buildingsD. will lower your heating costs by 50%10.Which of the following best expresses the main idea of this passage?A. There are many things a homeowner can do to save energy and moneyB. Hiring an energy assessor will save energy and money.C. Homeowners don't know what they can do to save energy and money.D. Replacing windows and light bulbs are well worth the effort and cost.Passage ThreeIs Halloween celebrated where you live? In the United States and Canada, Halloween is widely known and celebrated every year on October 31. Halloween customs, though, can be found i n many other parts o f the globe. I n some places holidays are celebrated that, although named differently, share similar themes: contact with the spirit world involving the spirits of the dead, the devil and angels.Personally, you may not believe in supernatural spirits. You might simply view taking part in Halloween and similar celebrations as a way t o have fun and teach your children to explore their imagination. Many people, though, regard these celebrations a s harmful fo r the following reasons:Firstly, Halloween is actually related to the prospect of contact with spiritual forces, many of which threaten or frighten. Likewise, many celebrations like Halloween have religious origins and are deeply rooted in ancestor worship (祖先崇拜). Even today, people around the world use these days to make contact with supposed spirits of the dead.Secondly, although Halloween has been viewed mainly as an American holiday, each year people i n more and more countries have been adopting it. Many newcomers to the celebration, however, are unaware of the religious origins of Halloween symbols, decorations, and customs, most of which are related to supernatural beings and supernatural forces.Thirdly, thousands of people, who follow ancient Celts(凯尔特⼈), still call Halloween by the ancient name Samhain and consider it to be the most sacred night of the year. Others don’t realize it, while they’ re celebrating the Celtic holiday.I n view o f the foregoing, i t i s wise for you t o know about the dark origins o f Halloween and similar celebrations. Having this fuller understanding may help you decide whether to participate in these holidays.11. According to the author, the theme of Halloween is to .A. celebrate the harvest seasonB. spread religious teachingsC. contact the spirit of the deadD. help children explore their imagination12. Many people regard Halloween celebrations as harmful because .A. the celebrations can disturb the deadB. some of the celebration activities are frighteningC. children may be frightened by supernatural forcesD. some of the celebrations are very dangerous13. Those who celebrate Halloween without knowing its origins may .A. not understand Halloween’s true meaningB. act as strangely as the dead and the devilsC. ruin the atmosphere of the celebrationsD. change their religious beliefs14. According to the passage, Halloween was probably first celebrated by .A. AmericansB. CanadiansC. IndiansD. Celts15. The author’s purpose in writing this passage is to .A. warn people not to celebrate Halloween any moreB. criticize the Halloween celebration activitiesC. tell people to be careful in deciding whether to celebrate HalloweenD. promote the tradition of Halloween and its celebrationsPassage FourAmericans use the term “college students” to mean students either in colleges or universities. Not only that, Americans almost never say “going off t o university” o r “when I was i n university.” That sounds British. Instead, they say “going off t o college” and “when I was in college.”College, university: what' s the difference?Colleges and universities have many things in common. Both offer undergraduate degrees in the arts and sciences, for example. And both ca n help prepare young people t o earn a living. Bu t many colleges d o n o t offer graduate studies. Another difference i s thatuniversities are generally bigger. They offer more programs and do more research.Another place of higher education, especially in technical areas, is an institute, like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Yet even an institute of technology can offer a wide choice of programs and activities. M.I.T. says that 75 percent of freshmen come there with a strong interest and involvement in the arts.Modem universities developed from those o f Europe i n th e Middle Ages. T h e word “university” came from th e Latin universitas, describing a group of people organized for a common purpose. “College” came from collegium, a Latin word with a similar meaning. In England, colleges were formed to provide students with places to live. Usually each group was studying the same thing. So college came to mean an area of study.The first American universities divided their studies into a number of areas and called each one a college. This is still true.A college can also be a part of a university. For example, Harvard College is the undergraduate part of Harvard University.Programs in higher learning can also be called schools, like a school of engineering or a medical school within university. You know, learning all these terms is an education in itself.16. Americans use “college students” to refer to students either in colleges or universities, because .A. there are more colleges than universities in AmericaB. colleges and universities are actually the sameC. both colleges and universities can offer degreesD. colleges and universities have many things in common17. One of the differences between colleges and universities is that .A. colleges do not do researchB. no college offers graduate studiesC. colleges often offer fewer programsD. universities don’t provide dormitories18. According to the passage, institutes .A. cover no other areas but technical onesB. have functions similar to colleges and universitiesC. provide 75% of their programs in technical areasD. are at a lower level of higher education19. The terms of “college” and “university” in LatinA. have similar meaningsB. mean quite differentlyC. refer to the same thingD. are confusing in English20. The main idea of this passage is toA.introduce the institutions in higher educationB.evaluate the institutions in higher educationC.clarify the institution terms in higher educationD.classify the institutions in higher educationPart III Cloze (10%)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blanks there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, you should choose one that best fits into the passage.

All in all, city life is full of variety and you need never feel 6 .However, for every plus 7 is a minus. For one thing, you might have a job, but 8 it is very well-paid, you will not be able to afford many o f the things that there are t o do,because living i n a city i s often very expensive. I t i s particularly difficult t o find good, 9 accommodation. What is more, public transport is sometimes crowded and dirty,especially during the 10 hours, and even the parks can become very crowded, especially on Sundays when it seems that every resident i s looking for some open space and green grass.

(1) I Q tests have managed to confuse many of us, leading us to believe that intelligence is largely fixed. It is not.(2) Just like swimming, cooking, dancing, and just about anything else, being smart is a skill that requires training. I will share with you some of what I have learned.Be PersistentSmart, successful people don’t give up. They believe that they can do it, and so they keep trying until, finally, they succeed. You might know that Thomas Edison failed thousands of times before h e succeeded. (3) What you might not.know i s that just about all scientists experience failure on a regular basis. So if you want to be smart, be persistent.Learn to Present Your IdeasTwo people can have the same ideas, and the same views and opinions, and yet only one of them might be considered smart. We often forget that everyone is busy with their own lives; they don't have time to think about and analyze everything we say. (4) If we don’t sell our ideas, virtually no one will recognize their merit. So, if you want others to know that you’re smart, learn how to present your ideas.Believe in yourself(5) We are all a lot more similar than we appear. Those who appear smarter than you simply had the right tools and used these tools to exercise their minds.Part V Writing (15%)For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Overseas Study at an Early Age.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage :Washi ngton Irvi ng was America' s first man of letters to be known intern ati on ally. His works were received enthusiastically both in England and in the United States. He was, in fact, one of the most successful writers of his time in the country, and at the same time winning the admiration of fellow writers like Scott in Britain and Poe and Hawthorne in the United States.(76) The respect in which he was held partly owi ng to the man himself, with his warm frien dli ness, his good sen se, his urba nity, his gay spirits, his artistic in tegrity, his love of both the Old World and the New.Thackeray described Irving as "a gentleman, who, though himself born in no very high sphere,was most fini shed, polished, witty ; socially the equal of the most refined Europea ns. " ( 77 ) InEngland he was gran ted an honorary degree from Oxford--a n unu sual honor for a citize n of ayoung, un cultured n ati on--and he received the medal of the Royal Society of Literature. Americamade him ambassador to Spain.Irving's background provides little to explain his literary achievements. A gifted but delicate child, he had little schooli ng. He studied law, but without zeal, and n ever did practice seriously.He was immune to his strict Presbyterian home environment, frequenting both social gatheri ngs and the theater.1. The main point of the first paragraph is that Washington Irving wasA. America' s first man of lettersB. a writer who had great success both in and outside his own countryC. a man who was able to move from literature to politicsD. a man whose personal charm enabled him to get by with basically inferior work2. What is implied by the mention of Scott, Poe and Hawthorne?A. Irvi ng enjoyed great popular admirati on.B. Scott. Poe and Hawthorne were primarily responsible for Irving's success.C. lrving's work was not only popular, but also of high literary quality.D. More America ns tha n Brit ons admired Irvi ng.3. Which of the following best describes the effect of Irving' s Presbyterian backgro und on his life?A. It fostered his love for the theater.B. It developed his skill in bus in ess.C. It prompted his in terest in law.D. It had almost no effect on his life.4. Which of the following best describes the effect of Irving's personal qualities on his literary success?A. His personal qualities were entirely responsible for his literary success.B. His personal qualities were primarily responsible for his literary success.C. His pers onal qualities had some effects on his literary success.D. His pers onal qualities had no effects on his literary success.5. Why might Irving's literary ability have been surprising to the English?A. They feared competiti on from America n writers.B. They did not expect the United States to produce good writers.C. They disapproved of the Ian guage America n writers used.D. They thought of the United States as a purely commercial power.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Traditio nally, uni versities have carried out two main activities: research and teachi ng.Many experts would argue that both these activities play a critical role in serving the commun ity. The fun dame ntal questi on, however, is how does the com mun ity want or n eed to be served?In rece nt years uni versities have bee n coming un der in creas ing pressure from both the gover nments and the public to en sure that they do not rema in "ivory towers ( 象牙塔)"of study separated from the realities of everyday life. Un iversity teachers have bee n en couraged, and in some cases con stra ined (强迫),to provide more courses which produce graduates with the tech ni cal skills required for the commercial use. (78) If Aristotle wan ted to work in a uni versity in the UK today, he would have a good cha nee of teach ing computer scie nee but would not be so readily employable as a philosopher.A post-industrial society requires large numbers of computer programmers, engin eers, man agers and tech ni cia ns to mai nta in and develop its econo mic growth but "man", as the Bible says, "does not live by bread alone. " (79) Apart from requiri ng medical and social services, which do not directly con tribute to econo mic growth, the society should also value and enjoy literature, music and the arts. Because they can also promote economic growth. A successful musical play, for in sta nee, can con tribute as much to the Gross Natio nal Product through tourist dollars as any other thi ngs.6. The main idea of the first paragraph is thaLA. traditional universities do a good job serving the societyB. universities must meet the needs of the societyC. research and teachi ng are of great importa nee in uni versitiesD. universities play an important role in our society7. We can infer from the second paragraph that_A. the society is not satisfied with the present college educationB. the governments interfere too much with college educationC. teacher are forced to do what they don' t like to doD. teachers dislike teaching commercially useful courses8. The Aristotle example is used to make the point that_A. universities in the UK have produced too much good for graduatesB. such abstract subjects as philosophy is no Ion ger usefulC. education should serve the social needsD. it is advisable for today' s philosophers to know computer scienee9. According to the passage literature , music and the arts_A. do not con tribute to econo mic growth at allB. are less useful to the society because they do not make direct contribution to econo mic growthC. are similar to medical and social services in their way of promoting economic growthD. should develop only when they are good for economic growth10. The author believes that_A. art is useful only when it is made into a money earnerB. the promotion of economic growth is the only goal of today' s societyC. universities should not provide literature or art coursesD. the society needs both technical skills and artsPassage 3Questions 11to 1 5 are based on the following pass a geAll the useful en ergy at the surface of the earth comes from the activity of the sun'.The sun heats and feeds creatures and mankind Each year it provides men with two hundred million tons of grain and nearly ten million tons of wood , coal, oil, natural gas, and all other fuels are stored energy from the sun.(80)Some was collected by this seas on's pla nts as carb on compo un dsSome was stored by plants and trees ages agoEve n waterpower derives from the sun.

Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEETPassage OneA few centuries ago, people looked at the birds and wondered what it would be like to fly like them. There were stories of heroes who glued bird feathers on their arms and flew up into the sky.About 500 years ago, some people dreamed a different dream. Instead of flying up to the sky. they dreamed of falling from the sky!In the 15th century, Italian inventors designed a cone-shaped (锥形）device that was supposed to bring a man down safely from a great height. The operator held on to a handle with straps strapped to his waist. This was the first known design for a parachute (降落伞）.Even the great inventor Leonardo da Vinci sketched a type of parachute. His parachute design was in the shape of a pyramid (金字塔). Other inventors also sketched their own designs for a parachute. Unfortunately, these were only designs on paper andno one tested them.A Croatian inventor named Fausto Veranzio looked at Leonardo da Vinci's parachute design and replaced the pyramid shape with one that looked like a sail from a ship. When Veranzio was 65 years old. he fell ill. Thinking he would not live longer, he decided to try out his parachute invention. He built his parachute using wood and cloth. Strapping his invention to his waist, he jumped off the tall bell lower in his city. Helanded safely! He was supposedly the first man to successfully use a parachute. However, some people thought this story was not true. If that was the case, then the first person to successfully usea parachute would go to a Frenchman named Louis-Sebastien Lenormand in 1783.16.The first known parachute was designed by ________________________________.A.FrenchmenB.ItaliansC. CroatiansD. Englishmen17.Leonardo da Vinci's parachute was shaped like a ________________________________ .A. coneB. featherC. pyramidD. sail18.Which of the following about Fausto Veranzio is true?A.He copied da Vinci's parachute design.B.He made his parachute with leather and wood.C.He experimented with his parachute many times.D.He decided to try his parachute after he was seriously ill.19.As for the first man who successfully used a parachute. ________________________________ .A.it was said to be Leonardo da VinciB we know for sure he was VeranzioC.there were some historical recordsD.we don't know for sure yet20.The passage is mainly about ___________________________ .A.the origin of the parachuteB. the dreams of flying and fallingC.the courage of dropping from the skyD.the application of parachute inventionPassage TwoOut of all the students who enroll in a massive open online course (MOOC), only about 5 percent complete the course and receive a certificate of accomplishment. This statistic is often cited as evidence that MOOCs are fatally flawed(有缺陷的) and offer little educational value to moststudents. Yet more than 80 percent of students who fill out a post-course survey say they met their primary objective. How do we look at these two facts?We're used to focusing on completion rates in higher education, but they're not the only-or even the most meaningful-indicator of engagement in open online courses. With no cost to enroll, no punishment for dropping out. and little reward for actually earning a certificate. MOOCs arc fundamentally different from traditional classes-and students use them in fundamentally different ways.Data from more than 1.8 million enrolled in 36 MOOCs offered by the University of Pennsylvania show that students treat MOOCs like a buffet(自助餐)， sampling the material according to their interests and career goals. Some are curious about the subject matter and just watch one or two video lectures; others use the discussion forums to connect with their intellectual peer , around the world. Of all enrolled students, nearly 60 percent watch at least one video, complete at least one assignment, or post at least once in a forum.So focusing on the tiny fraction of students who complete a MOOC is misguided. The more important number is the 60 percent engagement rate. Students may not finish a MOOC with a certificate of accomplishment, but the courses nonetheless meet the educational goals of millions.21. What do we learn about MOOCs from Para.1 ?A.There seems to be conflicting statistics about MOOCs.B.It turns out that MOOCs have failed people's expectations.C.Most students find it hard to judge the value of MOOCs.D.The educational value of MOOCs is well acknowledged.22. In Para. 2, the author stresses __________________ .A.the primary objective of MOOC studentsB.the significance of completion rates in educationC.the strengths and weaknesses of open online coursesD.the differences between MOOCs and traditional classes23. According to Para. 3. students choose MOOCs for the following reasons EXCEPT_____.A.earning a certificateB.improving job-related skillsC. meeting their interest in the subjectsD. exchanging ideas with students worldwide24. The sentence "students treat MOOCs as a buffet " (Para. 3) ___________________________ .A.emphasizes the core value of MOOCsB.demonstrates the daily operation of MOOCsC.indicates students are free to choose MOOC resourcesD.explains what students learn from MOOC courses25. What is the author's attitude toward MOOCs?A.Critical.B.Supportive.C.Indifferent.D.Neutral.Passage ThreeWhether you are hiking through the magnificent redwoods of Northern California, sleeping under the brilliant stars of the Texas sky, or watching the sun rise across the rocky cliffs of Maine, experiencing the outdoor world can be inspiring, thrilling, and deeply satisfying. And one of the best ways to enjoy the abundant gifts of the natural world is simple, inexpensive, and available to almost everyone. Let's go camping!When you camp，you create a “home away from home” in the fresh air. You don’t need a lot of fancy equipment to enjoy camping. What you need is simply a tent large enough for your family. Practice setting up the tent at home to make sure you are familiar with the process before you go camping.Once you find a good site, it's time to set up camp. Your first job is to set up your tent. Remove all sticks and rocks from the area. Spread a tarp(防水帆布)over the area where your tent will sit. Set up the tent and be sure to stake it down firmly, even if the weather is mild. Otherwise, strong wind can blow your tent away.Next, you’ll need some firewood for a campfire. It gathering wood is illegal at your campground, you must buy it at the camp store. It gathering dead wood is permitted, go on a firewood-hunting journey and bring in a good supply of wood for your campsite. Pile the wood safely away from the campfire ring and where no one will trip over the wood or hurt his or her legs on sharp branches.Being a responsible camper requires that you follow the rules of the campground. Do not burn food or plastic in your campfire. Make sure that you leave your campsite in good condition for the next campers. Just before leaving the site, make a final check to be certain that your campfire is completely out. Pour water on the ashes just to be sale!26. As is suggested by the author, you should practice setting up your tentA.before the weather turns badB.before your first camping tripC.after having selected your campsiteD.once you have decided here to go27. What is the first thing you should do alter choosing a campsite?A.Gather firewood.B.Spread a trap on the ground.C.Set up the tent.D.Remove sticks and rocks from the tent area.28. You can gather firewood only ______________________ .A.after you are sure that it is permittedB.after you are certain that no one will get hurtC.if there is no camp store nearbyD.if firewood is out of stock in a camp store29. The last thing you should do before leaving your campsite isA.bum all the trashB.clean the campsiteC.pour water on the ashesD. collect all the rubbish30.The passage is mainly about __________________________ .A.safety measures a camper should takeB.problems you may face as a camperC.what you need to know about campingD.what you need to bring along for campingPassage FourEvery country has secret services to help protect it against serious threats from terrorists, major criminals or even from other countries. People who threaten to harm a country always plot in secret, so the intelligence agencies have to work in secret to find out what is being planned before it happens, so that it can be prevented. They do that in many different ways一by secretly listening to their targets talking on the phone. by planting microphones to overhear meetings, by watching the targets as they move from place to place and by recruiting some of the targets to act as double agents to report on what is going on.For most of my career I worked in one of the UK's three intelligence services, MI5, the domestic security service. I first joined in the 1970s, in the middle of the Cold War,when the world was divided into two armed camps, the Soviet Union (前苏联) and its allies on the one side and Western Europe, America and their allies on the other. The Cold War never became a fighting war. It was an intelligence war, with intelligence officers from both sides trying to find out what the other side was doing, what kind of weapons they had, when and if they might start a war and what their plans were. Both sides were secretly working in each other's countries.Nowadays one of the biggest threats to the world comes from terrorists. Intelligence officers from many different countries are working together to find out who they are, where they are and what they are planning. Today's MI5 officers get theirintelligence in much the same way as we did during the Cold War, but their task is even more difficult and urgent because most terrorists "want to kill people. Many terroristattacks that are planned and prepared never happen, and we never know anything about them because the intelligence sendees find them out and prevent them.31. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.The tasks of intelligence agencies.B.The contributions of intelligence agencies.C.The equipment used by intelligence agents.D.The recruitment of intelligence agents.32. The biggest security threats for Britain in the 1970s were from_______.A.international terroristsB.the Soviet Union and its alliesC.major criminals within the countryD.agents working for both camps33. What is true about the Cold War?A.Both camps were planning to start a war.B.It was a war fought with advanced weapons.C.No fierce clash broke out during the period.D.It is not regarded as an intelligence war.34. MI5 officers' task is more urgent today in thatA.terrorists arc more difficult to find than spies.B.most terrorist attacks are aimed at killing peopleC.terrorist attacks happen more frequently than beforeD.it takes only a little time to prepare a terrorist attack35. The best title for the passage might be"_____________".A.Ways of Gathering IntelligenceB.National Defense Against All ThreatsC.Which Is More Threatening: Terrorists Or Spies?D.What We Do As Intelligence OfficersPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Y ou should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage：The casual meal we call a sandwich takes its name form Englishman John Montagu (1718－1972)，the Fourth Earl(伯爵) of Sandwich．It is believed that the earl had his servant bring him meals consisting of meat served between two pieces of bread so that the nobleman could eat at the gaming table．During the Industrial Revolution，the sandwich served as a practical lunch that could be prepared at home and carried to work．In the early 1990s，the sandwich became popular with the introduction of sliced (切片的)bread．(76)Most of America’s beloved regional sandwich Varieties fist appeared in the early part of the 20th century．Here are two kinds of most popular sandwich．A Submarine Sandwich is made on a long loaf of bread that is sliced lengthwise(纵向地) and generously stuffed．The earliest Submarine Sandwiches were filled with layers of Italian sliced meats an cheeses，and then topped with vegetables such as lettuce(生菜)and tomato．The bread was lightly coated with oil．Later varieties include hot oven-baked ＂submarine Sandwich＂came form East Coast shipyard workers．Similar sandwiches are called ＂Grinders＂in New England an ＂Heroes＂in New York．(77)The sandwiches have their origins in Italian-American neighborhoods along the eastern，but are now available all across the United States．The New Orleans Poor Boy was named during a streetcar strike in New Orleans in 1929．Sandwiches made on a small，narrow loaf of French bread with leftovers(剩菜) such as roast beef were given away free to the striking workers，who were sympathetically called ＂those poor boys＂．Soon restaurants and stores all over New Orleans began calling their sandwiches＂Poor Boy＂．Seafood Poor Boys are the most distinguishing variety ．All kinds of seafood were often filled with fried seafood were rich and cheap in New Orleans at the time，and the sandwiches were often filled with fried seafood．You order a New Orleans Poor Boy ＂dressed＂if you want lettuce and tomato or＂undressed＂if you want it plain．1．Which of the following statements about sandwiches is TRUE according to Paragraph 1？A. Sandwiches originated from the period of the Glorious Revolution．B. Sandwiches are formal meals．C. The food＂Sandwich＂is named after the Fourth Earl of Sandwich．D. Sandwiches first appeared in the 17th century．2．When did sandwiches become a kind of popular food?A. At the time of the Englishman John Montagu．B. At the time when sliced bread was introduced on the market．C. At the very beginning of Industrial Revolution．D. In the early part of 19th century．3．According to Paragraph 2，a Submarine Sandwich is ？A．available everywhere in the United StatesB．only sold along the eastern coastC．enjoyed by only Italian-AmericansD．only popular among shipyard workers4．Poor Boy sandwich has its name related with ．A．a shipyard worker strike in New YorkB．a streetcar strike in New OrleansC．restaurants and stores

tomato．C．Poor Boys were first made on a long loaf of bread．D．Seafood Poor Boy is a distinctive variety of it．Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage：One of the challenges facing families today is the attraction of computers and video games．Electronic toys are available in children’s toy section．By the time children start school，many are masters of mice．Most parents are aware that time spent Playing violent video games increases more aggressive thoughts in children，teens，and even adults．Many parents worry that playing much violent．A direct link between gaming and actual violence isn’t yet clear，but the evidence suggests that it is likely true．(78)Perhaps more surprisingly，there are also reasons to be concerned about the use of non-violent video games．Several studies have shown that video games take too much study time and interfere with grades and homework performance．In other words，they may do more harm than good．For example，an interesting study reported in the journal Psychological Science(2010)，looked at s group of boys who didn’t own video games．The researchers reviewed the boy’s academic achievement and behaviors；then they randomly(随便地)selected half of this group of boys to receive free video games and waited four months．At that time，they took another look at how the tow groups were doing．(79)Those with the free video games had lower reading and writing scores and more behavior problems．The more they reported having played with the games，the worse their achievement scores came out．Findings like these suggest that even educationally based video games probably should receive thorough testing and validation(确认)before any claims about their helpfulness are made．On the other hand，there’s no question that video games may improve specific motor skills as well as provide good entertainment for kids and adults alike．Thus，we aren’t about to suggest their elimination(除去)form the home．The problem comes about when the games are especially violent or when the time spent in playing games exceeds a certain limit．6．What is the main idea of this passage？A．Violent video games are harmless to children．B．Children should not be permitted to play video games．C．Long-time video games are harmful to children．D．Video games can bring nothing good to children．7．The word ＂aggressive＂in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ．A．inclined to behave in hostile fashionB．bold and optimisticC．fast growingD．tough and selfish8．Many parents have come to realize that ．A．violent video games are directly linked with actual violent actionsB．violent video games increase children’s thoughts of attacking other peopleC．non-violent video games are harmfulD．non-violent video games should be permitted at home9．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to paragraph 2？A．Those who played free video games for four months had better academic achievement．B．The more free video games students played，the better their academic scores came out．C．Playing too much free video games was the reason for students’ bad academic performance．D．It has been proved that makes non-violent video games do not cause poor homework performance．10．What is the factor that makes non-violent video games harmful to children?A．Contents of games．B．Length of time spent on game-playing．C．Quality of games．D．Entertainment levels of games．Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage：Hundreds of years ago，the scene was not unusual．Farmers with baskets of fresh yellow peaches，red berries，and green vegetables would set up stands in the village marketplace．(80)Customers would flood into the market to purchase food for the coming week，bargaining and exchanging the news of the day．Now farmers markets are located within the busy streets of New York City．The small park in Manhattan known as Union Square is surrounded by tall office buildings and famous stores．Located on Broadway between East 14th and 17th Streets，Union Square is the year-round site of a farmers market that opens rain or shine four times a week．Customers select with great care among the various kinds of fruits，vegetables，dairy products，meats，and baked goods．Despite the prevalence(流行)of heavily advertised fast foods，many people seek more healthful foods．A number of shoppers，concerned about the environment，like to purchase organic(有机的)foods that are free of pesticides(杀虫剂)．This explains the enormous popularity of the farmers markets，which are sponsored by Greenmarket，a privately funded program of the Council on the Environment of New York City．In addition to the large market at Union Square，there are farmers markets at 48 other sites throughout the New York City area．Some open only at certain times during the year．One of these more popular seasonal sites is at Rockefeller Center，site of NBC studios and Radio City Music Hall．Tourists visiting during the summertime are surprised to see farmers selling produce，honey，and baked goods at the site of the world famous Christmas tree.Besides regular shoppers，the farmers market，in fact，is full of children who are learning what vegetables such as onion bulbs look like when they are pulled fresh from the ground．They are extremely excited to find peaches still attached to leaves．They find potatoes still covered withrich-smelling soil．These city children are learning about healthful food in its most natural state．11．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 1?A．Farmers market in New York disappeared hundreds of years ago．B．Farmers market in New York was an unusual thing hundreds of years ago．C．Farmers marketplaces are near the busy streets of New York．D．Busy streets of New York are where farmers marketplaces are located．12．Why is farmers market popular in Now York？A．Because the farmers marketplaces are surrounded by tall office buildings and famous stores．B．Because the fruits，vegetables and meats in farmers markets are cheaper than those in stores．C．Because many people think farmers markets can provide more healthful foods．D．Because shoppers can take a walk while buying foods in farmers markets．13．Which of the following statements

I immediately rang 61 Hansl’s master who told me that the bird had 62 been missing for some days and begged me to adopt him 63 the next month．At this time，when the bird was in my home，I found out that Hansl had a 64 gift of the gab(多嘴)and he gave me the 65 of hearing plenty! He had，of course，66 just what you would expect a tame croe to hear when it sits on a tree in the village street．A month later I freed him as soon as he was fully 67 of flight．He returned immediately to his former master，but continued，68 a welcome guest，to visit us from time to time．Once he was missing for several weeks and，69 he returned，I noticed that he had，on one foot，a broken digit(足趾)．We realized the 70 foe his absence．We could imagine just 71 he came by this wound．But who had 72 and wounded Hansl ?

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements, For each of them there are four choices marked A).B).C)and D). You should decide on the best answer and mark it by crossing thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.Passage oneToday we visited the Field Museum to see the new dinosaur (恐龙) exhibit．At first I wasn't interested in seeing an old pile of bones. Why would anyone want to learn about something that's not around anymore?First we walked into a big room．I was staring at the bones of a giant beast! It almost filled the room. Two huge, dark holes in its boney head stared back at me. It was Dinosaur Sue．Our guide told us that when Sue was living, she weighed more than 150 fourth graders put together! He asked us to look at her teeth which were long and sharp. The guide said Sue’s teeth show that she was a meat eater．I’m glad I wasn’t around when the dinosaurs were alive. I might have been lunch for her!As I looked at it，I imagined what the dinosaur had looked like when it was alive．Suddenly I realized that these bones had once belonged to a living creature here on Earth. It made me wonder about other creatures that had once lived here. NowI understand why people want to learn about these creatures．Perhaps I will hunt for dinosaur bones someday. It would be very exciting to find a dinosaur skeleton(骨架)．41. When the author first got to the museum, she .A) was eager to see the giant beastB) didn’t want to know about dinosaursC) didn’t want to see the boney headD) was sad to look at the dead dinosaurs42. We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the author was .A) worried the dinosaur might be aliveB) afraid of being lunch for the dinosaurC) glad that Dinosaur Sue was a meat eaterD) surprised by the size of the skeleton43. After visiting the Museum, the author .A) becomes interested in dinosaursB) believes dinosaurs are still aliveC) doesn’t think dinosaurs are creaturesD) doesn’t want to touch dinosaurs44. Which of the following did Dinosaur Sue have for food?A) Humans. B) Animals.C) Grass. D) Trees.45. This passage mainly talks about _________?A) the weights and sizes of dinosaursB) the description of the author’s interests in dinosaursC) the change of the author’s attitude toward dinosaursD) the experience of hunting for dinosaur bonesPassage TwoIs organic food better? Most of the parents say it is, at least in part: “In organic food, there is less pesticide residues (农药残留) ”, say some parents. Early childhood exposure to lead and other poisonous substances at very low levels is now known to be harmful, so parents think caution should be in order.“Clearly if you eat organic product, you have fewer poisonous substances in your body, ”Joel Forman, an associate professor says. That’s particularly important for young children, he says, because they are especially easy to be hurt by chemical exposure while their brains are developing.That puts parents in a difficult situation, because they also want children to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, not less. But organic food still cost more in most cases, and many parents can’t afford to buy it only.Suggestions are made that parents should think about buying organic fruits and vegetables that are more likely to contain more pesticide residue, and going conventional for those that tend to have less.Another similar case is about milk, conventionally –raised cows are often fed antibiotics(抗生素) to stimulate growth, and parents are worried that this may do harm to children. “Growth hormone(激素) in cows doesn’t work in people,” Forman says. “There’s very little in the milk. And even if there was, it wouldn’t be absorbed. ”46. Parents are worried about .A) chemical exposure to milk B) high cost of organic vegetablesC) poisonous substances in food D) growth hormone in fruits47. According to this passage, Joel Forman’s remarks .A) caused parents to buy less fruits B) made parents feel easyC) solved patents’ problems D) confirmed parents’ worries48. Parents are in a difficult situation because .A) there is still pesticide residue in organic fruits and vegetablesB) organic food costs so much that no parents can afford itC) they can hardly afford enough organic food for their childrenD) children will be exposed to more poisonous substances in organic food49. A possible solution is to buy organic vegetables and fruits that are likely to contain .A) more pesticide residue B) less pesticide residueC) less growth hormone D) more growth hormone50. Joel Forman says in the last paragraph that growth hormone in milk _________.A) does little harm B) is very harmfulC) stimulates children’s growth D) is completely absorbed by cows Passage ThreeDiana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart(失败，破裂).The Jacobs family worked out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the government loan program. The twin sons will be able to finish school.With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.At the same time, tuition（学费）continues to rise and student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.It is reported that most middle class families have been financing college education through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.51. According to the first paragraph, why did the plan of the Jacobs family fail?A) The family fell apart. B) The tuition was raised.C) Their savings ran out. D) The father was out of work.52. How did the Jacobs manage to solve their problem?A) They got help from the schools and the government.B) They borrowed a large sum of money from the schools.C) They encouraged their twin sons to do part-time jobs.D) They told their children to drop out of school.53. Financial aid administrators believe that .A) college tuition fees will double in the next decadeB) the government will receive more letters of complaintC) more families will face the same problem as the JacobsD) they will have enough money to support poor students.54. What can we learn about the middle class families from the passage?A) They blame the government for the college tuition increase.B) They earn enough to support their kids’ college education.C) They will try their best to send their kids to college.D) Their debts will be paid off within a decade.55. According to the past paragraph, the government will .A) provide most students with scholarshipsB) cut down financial aid to college studentsC) stop the companies from providing student loansD) go on providing financial support for college studentsPassage FourBlind imitation (模仿) is self-destruction. But in the early stages of skill orcharacter development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes.In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.Blessed(幸福的) is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve you.56. Imitation proves useful when you _____.A) have the skill to imitateB) begin to develop your characterC) turn out to be a person of good tasteD) follow others subconsciously57. Imitation can be harmful if you .A) focus on someone’s talent B) make strong choices for yourselfC) follow your role models blindly D) are fearful of making choices58. According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are .A) willing to accept others’ ideasB) desperate to influence others with their knowledgeC) eager to do what has been done beforeD) ready to turn their original ideas into reality59. The trouble a creator faces is _____.A) the imaginative use of material B) the continuous absence of materialC) the severe shortage of material D) the strong motivation by material60. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?A) To criticize the characters of role models.B) To highlight the importance of creatively.C) To compare imitation with creation.D) To explain the meaning of success.Part III Cloze (10 points)Direction: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A),B),C), and D). You should choose ONE that best fits into the passage.Then mark the answer by crossing the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet witha pencil.Many people worry about losing their mental faculties when they get older: forgetting things and people, doing crazy things, and so on.

Please write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Many students must find living accommodation away from home, and large numbers of students’ houses have been built. 71) Until recently they were called dormitories and are generally adequate and modern but rather crowded. Outside a residence hall for women students at the beginning of term, one may see a father bringing his daughter in the car, taking out of the back a large stock of clothes on their hangers(衣架)，going into the building and then ten minutes later coming out again carrying most of them because there is no room.Students are well provided with recreational facilities, both in the residence halls and outside. 72) But a student at a university in a small town lives his life mainly on the campus, which becomes a self-contained(自足) world, rather than isolated from the ordinary community. There is not much scope for students to sit and talk in cafes. 73) Also meals are provided in campus restaurants, where the food is usually good and varied and a little cheaper than outside.It has always been common for students to work to earn money, not only in vacations but also, when practicable, by doing part-time jobs during term-time. 74) As the total cost of study and living may be $2,000 to $ 3,000 a year, these earnings are useful and often essential, and mostly students do rather unskilled work. 75) Some students do paid work for the university at which they study, in the library of restaurant, or even by acting as lifeguards at a swimming pool. Others work outside. One popular occupation is that of porter at a supermarket, carrying housewives’ groceries out to their cars.Part V writing (15 points)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: My Opinion on Helping Those in Need.

2015年11月7日北京学位英语真题及答案一、阅读理解Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory(印第安人保护区)that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. (76) He was healthy and strong, but he had very little formalan Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life.Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was 16, his mother and father were also dead, Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on ahis education. Jim was a star athlete (运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running, and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the points for his team.In 1912, when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and filed events, including the long jump and the 1500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events, with running, jumping and throwing contests.People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Sweden presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.”1. From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in _______.A. IndiaB. PennsylvaniaC. OklahomaD. Sweden2. According to the passage, most American Indian children loved all the following EXCEPT _______.A. fishingB. huntingC. swimmingD. singing3. Jim Thorpe started to play sports _______.A. before he was nine years oldB. when he was 16 years oldC. when he was 24 years oldD. before his parents passed away4. The word decathlon in paragraph 3 probably means _______.A. jumpingB. five track and field eventsC. throwingD. ten track and field events5. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?B. Thorpe won two gold medals in the 1912 Olympic Games.C. Thorpe once played on a baseball team for money.D. In 1950, Thorpe was named the greatest American football player.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Since its founding in 1948, McDonald's has grown from a family burger（汉堡包）stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.With 58 million daily customers worldwide, McDonald’s is now so ubiquitous around the globe that The Economist publishes a global ranking of currencies' purchasing power based on the prices charged at the local McDonald’s, called the Big Mac Index（巨无霸指数）.That’s not to say that every nation carries the same menu items: choices vary widely depending on location. Some Asian locations serve fried shrimp in a Big Mac roll, while McDonald’s in India doesn’t serve beef at all, relying instead on burgers made from vegetables, rice and beans.Not everyone in the world has been happy to greet Ronald McDonald when he moves to town. Many see McDonald's as a symbol of American economic and cultural chauvinism（沙文主义）, and European nations in particular have viewed American-style fast food as an insult to their national food. A French farmer, Jose Bove, became something of a national hero in 1999 after he and a group of people destroyed a McDonald's under construction to protest globalization and "bad food." The next year, a bomb exploded in a French McDonald’s,killing a 27-year-old employee. (78) No one claimed responsibility.But regardless of whether you like their foo d or their policies, McDonald’s is still widely seen as one of the true pioneers of peaceful globalization.6. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE.A. McDonald's was founded in 1948.C. McDonald’s has over 30,000 locations in the world now.D. McDonald’s was very small in scale in the beginning.7. The word ubiquitous in Paragraph 2 is most likely to mean ____.A. very crowdedB. very cleanC. existing everywhereD. occurring frequently8. From Paragraph 2, we can conclude that ____.A. McDonald’s designs its menu to suit the local peopleB. millions of young adults got their first job with McDonald’sC. the McDonald’s menu sticks to old-fashioned favorites such as the Big MacD. the low prices McDonald’s bring tens of millions of people through its doors every day9. What did Jose Bove and his people do in 1999 to protest against McDonald's?A. They organized a strike.B. They protested outside a McD onald’s.C. They refused to go to a newly-built McDonald’s.D. They destroyed a McDonald’s under construction.10. In ____, an employee died in a fatal bomb attack on a McDonald’s restaurant in France.A. 1998B. 1999C. 2000D. 2001Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:It can be really frustrating (使人沮丧的) for an overweight person to go to a gym and work out with a positive attitude. All one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating, “skinny” members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that?Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel isolated when joining workout classes of while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering (迎合) to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicating areas where the “skinny” people are not allowed.There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate.Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs(六块腹肌). (79)They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers.Often at these specialized gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image. The equipment has been designed for use by larger people. Wider seats, more cushioning, no(80)Hopefully these types of gyms will successfully grow in numbers in the future. The idea is a very simple and potentially popular one. If it helps those of us who are bigger exercise more and improve our fitness level, it’s a step in the right direction.11. The word zaftig in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.A. fatB. healthyC. friendlyD. polite12. We can infer from the first two paragraphs that _______.A. most large gym chains really don’t want members to show up frequentlyB. overweight people are often frustrated and pushed away by traditional gym industryC. regular gyms don’t accept overweight people to participate in their programsD. overweight people have to pay extra to work out in a gym13. What is the training goal in the gyms catering to overweight members?A. To achieve functional fitness.B. To build six-pack abs.C. To look like a fitness model.D. To be able to run long distances.14. As for the gyms catering to overweight members, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. The machines are designed for larger people.B. Tinted windows are used to ensure extra privacy.C. There are large mirrors on the walls.D. The training goals are more realistic.15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Improving Women’s Self-confidence through Exercises.B. The traditional Gym Industry Is Losing Its Customers.C. The Fitness Industry Is Looking for New Directions.D. Specialized Gyms Designed for Overweight People.【试题点评】在阅读当中，所需要具备的一个最重要的能力就是如何去看到题目之后，定准了位，并且找到那个我们真正应该找到的位置，在四个选项当中去找意思的原文最匹配的选项。

麦克问苏珊是否介意他开门，根据苏珊下一句中提到的风会吹乱论文可知，苏珊不同意麦克的请求，故排除选项B(开吧)和选项C(不介意，尽管开吧)。

选项D(你决定吧)没有明确表示出同意或反对。
