Part I Reading Comprehension(共20小题，每题2分，共40分)Directions：In this part there are four passages．Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions．Read the passage and answer the questions．Then mark your answer On the answer sheet．Passage OneQuestions 1~5 are based on the following passage.Vegetable gardening is the relaxing art and science of turning a love for growing plants into a meaningful activity. Having vegetables in the backyard makes home gardening appealing for many people. In addition, vegetable gardening provides exercise and fun for both urban and suburban families.Vegetable gardeners agree that many home-grown vegetables are superior to those purchased from markets. From spring through late fall, a well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of fresh vegetables, thus increasing the nutrition of the family diet.Freezers make it possible to keep some of the vegetables to be enjoyed at a later date. Other vegetables can be stored for a few months in a cool area.Although the money spent for a garden may be little, one cannot escape the fact that gardening requires hard work and time. Many of the gardening tasks must be performed at times that are most inconvenient. Not doing jobs that should be done on a regular basis may result in failure and a negative feeling toward gardening.One should not plant a garden that is too large for him to care for. A small, well-kept garden is more enjoyable and profitable than a large neglected one. Vegetables do well in full sunlight and need at least five or six hours of sun during the middle of the day. Too much shading results in poor plants and few vegetables. If possible, the garden should be near the house, so the gardener can work in it whenever they are free.Soils for vegetables should be easily broken up and porous (多孔的) for quick water drainage and good aeration (透气). Usually the home owner has little choice in the soil type he can choose. Fortunately, many vegetables can be grown on poor soils if the soils are properly prepared.1. Many people find home gardening____A. expensive and boringB. interesting and enjoyableC. time-consuming and inconvenientD. neither interesting nor enjoyable2. A well-planned and well-kept garden can provide a supply of freshvegetables_____A. all year roundB. whenever you need nutritious foodC. for a greater part of the yearD. throughout spring3. The amount of money you spend on your garden ___A. can be largeB. must be largeC. can not be largeD. must not be small4. Which of the following statements is true?A. Vegetables need to have as much shading as possible:B. A small garden is much better than a large one.C. Homeowners can freely choose the soil for their vegetable garden.D. Whenever possible, the vegetable garden should be close to your home.5. From the passage we can conclude that_____A. vegetables need little care while growingB. vegetables can be grown on almost any kind of soilC. vegetable gardening is an indispensable part of life for urban andsuburban peopleD. vegetable gardening is a good pastime for retired peoplePassage TwoQuestions 6~10 are based on the following passage.In old days, when a glimpse of stocking was looked upon as something so shocking as to distract the serious work of an office, secretaries were men.Then came the First World War and the male secretaries were replaced by women. A man's secretary became his personal servant, in charge of remembering his wife's birthday and buying her presents; taking his suits to thedry-cleaners; telling lies on the telephone to keep away people he did not wish to speak to; and, of course, typing and filing and taking shorthand.Now all this may be changing again. The microchip (芯片) and high technology is sweeping the British office, taking with it much of the routine clerical (文书的) work that secretaries did. "Once office technology takes over generally, the status of the job will rise again because it will involve thehigh-tech work-and then men will want to do it again."That was said by one of the executives (male) of one of the biggest secretarial agencies in this country. What he has predicted is already under way in the U. S.Once high technology has made the job of secretary less routine (泛味的), will there be a male takeover? Men should be careful of thinking that they can walk right into the better jobs. There are a lot of women secretaries who will do the job as well as they--not just because they can buy negligees (妇女长睡衣) for the boss's wife, but because they are as efficient and well-trained to cope with word processors and computers as men.6. Before 1914 female secretaries were rare because they_____A. were less efficient and less trained than menB. were looked down upon by menC. would have disturbed the other office workersD. wore stockings and were not as serious as men7. A female secretary has been expected, besides other duties, to____A. be her boss's memoryB. do everything her boss asks her to doC. clean her boss's clothesD. telephone the boss's wife8. Secretaries, until recently, had to do a lot of work now done by____A. machinesB. other staffC. servantsD. wives9. A secretary in the future will __A. have more work to doB. be better paidC. have higher statusD. have less work to do10. The writer believes that before long __A. both men and women can act as secretariesB. men will be better than machinesC. men will take over women's jobs as secretariesD. women will operate most office machinesPassage ThreeQuestions 11~15 are based on the following passage.Humanity is a new experiment on planet Earth. For most of its history, life on Earth was restricted to the sea. Living things began to populate the land slightly over 400 million years ago, and humans have existed for no more than 3 million years.One way to represent the evolution of life is to compress the 4.6-billion-year history of Earth into a l-year-long film. In such a film, Earth forms as the filmbegins on January 1, and through all of January and February it cools and is cratered (变成坑状) and the first oceans form. But those oceans remain lifeless until sometime in March or early April, when the first living things develop. The 4-billion-year history of Precambrian (前寒武纪) evolution lasts until the film reaches mid-November, when primitive ocean life begins to evolve into complex organisms such as trilobites (三叶虫).If we examine the land instead of the oceans, we find a lifeless waste. But once our film shows plant and animal life on the land, about November 28, evolution proceeds rapidly. Dinosaurs, for example, appear about December 12 and vanish by Christmas Eve, as mammals (哺乳动物) and birds flourish.Throughout the 1-year-run of our film there are no humans, and even during the last days of the year as the mammals rise and dominate the landscape, there are no people. In the early evening of December 31, vaguely human forms move through the grasslands, and by late evening they begin making stone tools. The Stone Age lasts until about 11 ~ 45 pm, and the first signs of civilization, towns and cities, do not appear until 11 ~ 54 pm. The Christian era begins only 14 seconds before the New Year, and the Declaration of Independence is signed with 1 second to spare.11. In comparing all of Earth's geological evolution to one calendar year, theauthor shows____A. just how recently humanity has arrived on the sceneB. just how simple it is to understand the history of EarthC. just how early humanity appears on planet EarthD. just how difficult it is to understand the history of Earth12. According to the passage, primitive ocean life begins to evolve intocomplex organisms_____A. in the middle of DecemberB. when Earth is crateredC. at the beginning of NovemberD. when the land is still a lifeless waste13. It is indicated in the passage that_____A. Earth is cool at firstB. Earth is hot at the beginningC. there are oceans at the beginningD. there is life in the ocean in late February14. In the one-year-long film dinosaurs____A. die out on December 25B. appear after December 25C. die out on December 24D. appear on December 2415. In the compressed history of Earth the Declaration of Independence issigned____A. a long time before the New YearB. immediately after the New Year's DayC. just one second before the New YearD. right on the New Year's DayPassage FourQuestions 16~20 are based on the following passage.Internet-addicted job seekers may be partly the cause of the fact that it is taking the unemployed 23 % longer to find a new position than it took during the last recession (经济萧条),when the "benefits" of online job searching were unavailable. "A growing number of unemployed Americans waste time browsing ( 浏览) the estimated 4,000 to 5,000 online job sites, filling them with resumes, and then waiting for replies. It is common for long-time joblessness,” argues Professor John A. Challenger. Although the Internet has the potential to be very useful for job seekers and it has become the primary tool for many, Challenger believes that it should be considered secondary to the traditional technique of meeting would-be employers in person.In addition to slowing job search efforts, the Internet is making the hiring process longer for the employer. In a survey of 5,000 hiring managers by an online résumé~ site, 72 % said that a majority of the resumes they received in response to an online job posting did not match the position's description."The more unrelated résumés managers have to go through in order to select the few to bring in for interviews, the longer it takes to fill the position," points out Challenger. "One result of this has been the increased use of screening software by employers. This will make it even more difficult for job seekers to get their résumés in front of the hiring executive for an interview.""All of this is not to say that the Internet has not revolutionized job hunting. It has certainly made it easier for someone in San Francisco, for example, to search for job openings in Miami. In addition, the ability to conduct keyword searches has reduced the amount of time it takes to find the type of position a person is seeking.""Job seekers must learn how to use the Internet as a tool, rather than just relying on it as a means for submitting electronic résumés," concludes Challenger.16. According to the passage, the coming of online job searching brings __A. longer waiting time for the unemployedB. longer computer technology training for the job seekersC. more unemployment throughout the U. S. A.D. more job opportunities in the Internet world17. Professor Challenger thinks ___ should be considered more important bythe unemployed.A. browsing the Internet job sitesB. sending résumés by emailC. going to a traditional training centerD. meeting the potential employers in person18. The Internet is making the hiring process longer for the employer because__A. the speed of the Internet is not fast enoughB. there is a lot of false information on the NetC. the hiring position cannot be fully described on the NetD. it has drawn many unfitting résumés19. It can be inferred that "screening software" in Paragraph 3 is used to____A. draw more job seekers to the websitesB. get rid of some unrelated resumesC. serve as a bridge between the job seekers and the employersD. provide the job seekers with more chances to visit the employers inperson20. According to the passage-the Internet has revolutionized job huntingby____A. changing the recession cycleB. opening more chances for job seekersC. improving the reemployment situationD. reducing the interview timePart ⅡVocabulary and Structure ( 共40小题,每题1分，共40分) Directions: In this part there are forty incomplete sentences.

After reading each passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked with ABCD. You should choose the most appropriate answer and write the letter in thecorresponding space on the Answer Sheet. Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage. Even heard the one about the doctor who gave patient six months to live ?When the man couldn‘t pay his bill, the doctor gave him another six months. Go ahead ,laugh . It‘s strong medicine, researchers are learning. Even the physical act is good for you ,says William Fry ,Pioneer in laughter research . It‘s increases blood flow and contracts abdominal(腹部的)muscles. A hundred loud and deep laughs is equivalent to a very active exercise of ten minutes on a rowing machine , according to Fry. But the benefits go beyond an exercise .The most astonishing evidence of laughter‘s power comes from a 1997 study of 48 heart-attack patients. Half of them watched funny shows for 30 minutes every day: the rest served as controls. After a year , ten patients in the control group hadsuffered repeat heart attacks, compared with only two in the group that watched the shows. Can a good laugh help patients get well? In a landmark experiment at the University of California at Los Angeles, called Rx Laughter, scientists plan to test the effect of laughter in children with serious illnesses, including cancer. Early results suggest that humorous videos help kids handle uncomfortable or painful procedures. Justin Black, 13 years old , already knows that. He was in considerable pain when he woke up from surgery-until Bill Marx, a volunteer for Rx Laughter, appeared at his bedside . Marx told jokes, made faces and pranced(欣喜地跳跃)around the hospital room. ―Having something to laugh at took my mind off the pain,‖ says Justin. ‖When you‘re laughing, you can‘t help but feel better.‖ 16. What is this passage mainly about? A. Thebenefits that laughter can bring to people.B. A landmark experiment that is called Rx Laughter.C. How Justin Black felt when a volunteer appeared in the hospital room.D. Why Bill Marx became a member of the experiment team to test the effect of laughter. 17. From the passage we learn that in 1997 the study of 48 heart-attack patients_. A. found most of the patients had suffered repeat heart attacks B. took the scientists about two years to draw their conclusion C. produced a newly found evidence about heart attacks D. made surprising findings about laughter ‘s power 18. Why did the scientists at the University of California make the experiment? A. To help children in hospital recover from their illness B. To look for the evidence of laughter‘s power in women patients. C. To test the effect of laughter on children who were seriously ill D. To see whether laughtercould replace some active exercises. early results of the landmark experiment ,called Rx Laughter, show that the humorous videos___ A. replace medication that children take C. do no good to children‘s uncomfortable procedures B. really help children handle their pains D. have some side effect on children ?s painful procedures. what Justin said at the end of the passage we learn that he____. A. enjoyed the time with the scientists B. soon recovered from his illness C. often made fun of Marx D. almost forget his pain Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. How well do you know your dog? The answer is ,not nearly as well as your dog knows you. Given the right motivation , humans can certainly be perceptive(有洞察力的)enough. But most dog lovers discover, sooner or later , that dogs are sensitive to the behavioral signsof their owners that humans rarely equal .And that‘s nothing .Scientists have recently discovered that dogs can distinguish, with amazing accuracy ,between breath samples from people with lung cancer and from people without .The dogs have to be trained to do it, of course .But the fact that they can do it at all is remarkable . There aren‘t enough biscuits in the world to teach a human to smell at such an extraordinary level of subtlety(细微之处). This news will give pause to almost anyone who lives with a dog. Just what a dog ―knows‖ is hard to say ,because the human idea of ―knowing ‖ is so closely related to the ability to express what you know. Even trained cancer-sniffing dogs express their knowledge—their distinction between samples---only by sitting or not sitting. But this is what always happens . We tend to forget the extraordinary powersof the animals we live with simply because we live with them –We tend to humanize them ,which means ,if nothing else, that we tend to reduce them-in terms of their sensory powers –to our muddling(糊涂)level. We can barely take in the fact that when a dog comes up and sniffs us ,it is really giving us a check –up. Not that this will change the dynamic of our relations with man‘s best friend .For a while –remembering the cancer-sniffing dogs –some of us will wonder when we see our pets cock their heads ,‖ What are you looking at?‖ But time will pass ,and humans will be humans ,and we will forget that the beast we are walking with may already know things about us that we will discover only too late. to the first paragraph ,we can find that dogs_____ A. are more sensitive to human behavior than man is to theirs C. know almost everything about man B. will developsome behaviors like their owners D. are as emotional as their owners of the surprising facts about dogs is that ____ A. they do better than humans is curing cancer patients when well trained B. they are able to tell healthy people from unhealthy ones by smelling C. they eat less biscuits than man discover cancer patients D. they can smell whether their owners are happy or not passage tells us that people tend to forget the extraordinary power of the dogs because___. A. people feel so close to dogs B. people used to humanize them C. dogs are not trained enough D. dogs can not give us a check-up news will give pause to almost anyone…()probably means ―This news will ______.‖ A. stop anyone from thinking about something B. provide anyone with a chance to do something C. make anyone think carefully about something D. give anyone reasonsfor doing something else can we infer from this passage ? A. A dog may find its owner‘s disease even before doctors. B. Walking a dog every day will make it more sensitive. C. Humans may turn to a dog for a discovery about the earth. D. Humans should find more of a dog before it is too late. Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. Are wine study drinkers healthier than beer drinkers? If that is the case , it may have less to do with their choice of drink than with what they eat with it. A new study found that shoppers who bought wine in supermarkets were much more likely to buy healthy foods like olives and low-fat cheese than beer buyers, who were more in favour of things like chips. Studies have linked a moderate amount of alcohol use with better health, and this is especially true when it comes to wine, which has components that may helpprevent cancer and cardiovascular(心血管的)disease. Still, it is possible that whatever health benefits wine drinkers enjoy actually result from overall better dies, some studies have suggested. The problem for researchers has been getting an accurate reading on people‘s diets in general and alcohol use in particular .Those being surveyed often understate their alcohol use and overstate their consumption of healthy foods . So for this study ,the researchers tracked the sale of wine and beer over a six-month period at 98 supermarkets ,and then looked at what kinds of food the shoppers bought .One author ,Dr .Morten Gronback, said the researchers had expected to find differences in buying patterns, but not to the extent that they did. There are other reasons wine drinkers may be healthier than beer drinkers , the researchers said. Wine tends to be drunkwith food, and in smaller amounts ,they noted , possibly affecting how the body metabolizes (使新陈代谢的)it . And wine drinkers tend to be better educated and better off financially than beer drinkers, factors that would also help account for their better health. 26. What makes a wine drinker healthier than beer drinker is mainly due to ___ A. the food they eat that goes with wine B. the amount they drink every time C. the less alcohol contained in wine D .the low fat contained in wine 27. Researchers failed to get an accurate reading on people ‘s diets in general because______ A. people tend to overstate the consumption of foods B. people tend to understate the alcohol use C. people have different buying patterns D. people have different dietary habits 28. From paragraph Two we learn that some studies found_____ A. an overall betterdiet could bring wine drinkers health benefits B. people who drink beer were likely to get rid of cancer and heart diseases C. a small amount of alcohol would lead to a better health of beer drinkers D. shoppers who bought wine in supermarkets were usually better off financially 29. The phrase ―account for ‖ (Line 4 Para 4) probably means to _____ A. develop B. explain C .maintain D. enhance of the following is not the factor contributing to better health of wine drinkers?

(76) But brief replies do not mean Americans are impolite or unfriendly to some extent. Very often, Americans are in a hurry and may greet you with a single word "Hi", indeed; this is a greeting you will hear again and again during your stay in the United States. It is used by everyone, regardless of rank, age or occupation. However, those who are accustomed to longer greetings may require a little more time before they feel comfortable with American simple talk.Americans sometimes use plain talk when they are uncomfortable. (77) If people praise them or thank them in an especially polite way, they may become uncomfortable and not know what to say in reply. They don't want to be impolite or rude, you can be sure that they liked what was said about them. Except for certain holidays, such as Christmas, Americans don't usually give gifts. Thus, you will find Americans embarrassed as they accept gifts, especially if they have nothing to give in return. They are generally a warm but informal people.1. The fact that Americans like shorter answers tells us ______.A.they reply very quickly in a hurryB.they choose words too carefullyC.they like replying brieflyD.they want to be as polite as they can答案：C本题考查考生对细节的把握。

After reading each passage, you will find5 questions or unfinished statements. For each question or statement there are 4choices marked A., B., C. and D. You should choose the most appropriate answer andwrite the letter in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Ever heard the one about the doctor who gave his patient six months to live? When the man couldn’t pay his bill, the doctor gave him another six months.Go ahead, laugh. It’s strong medicine, researchers are learning. Even the physical act is good for you, says William Fry, pioneer in laughter research. It increases blood flow and contracts abdominal (腹部的) muscles. A hundred loud and deep laughs is equivalent to a very active exercise of ten minutes on a rowing machine, according to Fry.But the benefit s go beyond an exercise. The most astonishing evidence of laughter’s power comes from a 1997 study of 48 heart-attack patients. Half of them watched funny shows for 30 minutes every day; the rest served as controls. After a year, ten patients in the control group had suffered repeat heart attacks, compared with only two in the group that watched the shows.Can a good laugh help patients get well? In a landmark experiment at the University of California at Los Angeles, called Rx Laughter, scientists plan to test the effect of laughter in children with serious illnesses, including cancer. Early results suggest that humorous videos help kids handle uncomfortable or painful procedures.Justin Black, 13 years old, already knows that. He was in considerable pain when he woke up from surgery—until Bill Marx, a volunteer (志愿者) for Rx Laughter, appeared at his bedside. Marx told jokes, made faces and pranced (欣喜地跳跃) around the hospital room. “Having something to laugh at took my mind off the pain,” says Justin. “When you’re laughing,you can’thelp but feel better.”16. What is this passage mainly about?A. The benefits that laughter can bring to people.B. A landmark experiment that is called Rx Laughter.C. How Justin Black felt when a volunteer appeared in the hospital room.D. Why Bill Marx became a member of the experiment team to test the effect of laughter.17. From the passage we learn that in 1997 the study of 48 heart-attack patients______.A. found most of the patients had suffered repeat heart attacksB. took the scientists about two years to draw their conclusionC. produced newly found evidence about heart attacksD. made surprising findings about laughter’s power18. Why did the scientists at the University of California make the experiment?A. To help children in hospital recover from their illness.B. To look for the evidence of laughter’s power in women patients.C. To test the effect of laughter on children who were seriously ill.D. To see whether laughter could replace some active exercises.19. The early results of the landmark experiment, called Rx Laughter, show that the humorousvideos______.A. replace medication that children takeB. really help children handle their pains.C. do no good to children’s uncomfortable proceduresD. have some side effect on children’s painful procedures20. From what Justin said at the end of the passage we learn that he______.A. enjoyed the time with the scientistsB. soon recovered from his illnessC. often made fun of MarxD. almost forgot his painQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.How well do you know your dog? The answer is, not nearly as well as your dog knows you. Given the right motivation, humans can certainly be perceptive (有洞察力的) enough. But most dog lovers discover, sooner or later, that dogs are sensitive to the behavioral signs of their owners that humans rarely equal. And that’s nothing. Scientists have recently discovered that dogs can distinguish, with amazing accuracy, between breath samples from people with lung cancer and from people without. The dogs have to be trained to do it, of course. But the fact that they can do it at all is remarkable. There aren’t enough biscuits i n the world to teach a human to smell at such an extraordinary level of subtlety (细微之处) .This news will give pause to almost anyone who lives with a dog. Just what a dog “knows” is hard to say, because the human idea of “knowing” is so closely related to the ability to express what you know. Even trained cancer-sniffing dogs express their knowledge——their distinction between samples——only by sitting or not sitting. But this is what always happens. We tend to forget the extraordinary powers of the animals we live with simply because we live with them. We tend to humanize them, which means, if nothing else, that we tend to reduce them——in terms of theirsensory powers——to our muddling (糊涂) level. We can barely take in the fact that when a dog comes up and sniffs us, it is really giving us a check-up.Not that this will change the dynamic of our relations with man’s best friend. For a while—remembering the cancer-sniffing dogs—some of us will wonder when we see our pets cock their heads, “What are you looking at?”But time will pass, and humans will be humans, and we will forget that the beast we are walking with may already know things about us that we will discover only too late.21. According to the first paragraph, we can find that dogs______.A. are more sensitive to human behavior than man is to theirsB. will develop some behaviors like their ownersC. know almost everything about manD. are as emotional as their owners22. One of the surprising facts about dogs is that_____.A. they do better than humans in curing cancer patients when well trainedB. they are able to tell healthy people from unhealthy ones by smellingC. they eat less biscuits than man to discover cancer patientsD. they can smell whether their owners are happy or not23. The passage tells us that people tend to forget the extraordinary power of the dogs because______.A. people feel so close to dogsB. people used to humanize themC. dogs are not trained enoughD. dogs can not give us a check-up24. “This news will give pause to almost anyone…” (Para.2) probably means“This newswill______.”A. stop anyone from thinking about somethingB. provide anyone with a chance to do somethingC. make anyone think carefully about somethingD. give anyone reasons for doing something else25. What can we infer from this passage?A. A dog may find its owner’s disease even before doctors.B. Walking a dog every day will make it more sensitive.C. Humans may turn to a dog for a discovery about the earth.D. Humans should find more of a dog before it is too late.Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Are wine drinkers healthier than beer drinkers? If that is the case, it may have less to do with their choice of drink than with what they eat with it.A new study found that shoppers who bought wine in supermarkets were much more likely to buy healthy foods like olives and low-fat cheese than beer buyers, who were more in favour of things like chips. Studies have linked a moderate amount of alcohol use with better health, and this is especially true when it comes to wine, which has components that may help prevent cancer andcardiovascular (心血管的) disease. Still, it is possible that whatever health benefits wine drinkers enjoy actually result from overall better diets, some studies have suggested.The problem for researchers has been getting an accurate reading on people’s diets in g eneral and alcohol use in particular. Those being surveyed often understate their alcohol use and overstate their consumption of healthy foods. So for this study, the researchers tracked the sale of wine and beer over a six-month period at 98 supermarkets, and then looked at what kinds of food the shoppers bought. One auther, Dr. Morten Gronbaek, said the researchers had expected to find differences in buying patterns, but not to the extent that they did.There are other reasons wine drinkers may be healthier than beer drinkers, the researchers said. Wine tends to be drunk with food, and in smaller amounts, they noted, possibly affecting how the body metabolizes (使新陈代谢) it. And wine drinkers tend to be better educated and better off financially than beer drinkers, factors that would also help account for their better health.26. What makes a wine drinker healthier than beer drinker is mainly due to_____.A. the food they eat that goes with wineB. the amount they drink every timeC. the less alcohol contained in wineD. the low fat contained in wine27. Researchers failed to get an accurate reading on people’s diets in general because______.A. people tend to overstate the consumption of foodsB. people tend to understate the alcohol useC. people have different buying patternsD. people have different dietary habits28. From Paragraph Two we learn that some studies found______.A. an overall better diet could bring wine drinkers health benefitsB. people who drink beer were likely to get rid of cancer and heart diseasesC. a small amount of alcohol would lead to a better health of beer drinkersD. shoppers who bought wine in supermarkets were usually better off financially29. The phrase” account for” (Line4. Para.4) probably means to_____.A. developB. explain C maintain D. enhance30. Which of the following is not the factor contributing to better health of wine drinkers?A. Various buying patterns.B. Healthy diet.C. Better education.D. Better financial background.Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.31. From the above ad we know that Career College______.A. is a business training institution whose tuition is free of chargeB. particularly appeals to personnel managers in the service industryC. does not offer any long-term programs leading to college degreesD. does not admit those applicants who are full-time employed32.

For example, many adults handle babies differently, depending on 36 they are boys or girls. That is, they may treat boys more roughly and girls more gently. Adults 37 boys for being strong and girls for being pretty and quiet. They 38 independence in boys and dependence in girls.These are only a very few 39 of the ways in which our society determines sex roles. The point is that, 40 to what many people think, there can be greater differences 41 members of the same sex than there are between the sexes.Today, in our society, sex roles are 42 changing. At one time, sex roles and work were closely related. That is, sex determined the work done by ea ch person. The woman’s43 was caring for the home.

Cloze TestThe money and the time we spend on pets is simply not our own to spend as we like in a time of widespread want and starvation. A 11 organization advertises that for $33 a month they can give hospital care to a child suffering from kwashiorkor-the severe deficiency disease 12 is simply a starving for protein. Doing 13 such a pet, and then sending the money saved to a relief organization would mean 14 a life-over the years, several human lives.Children not 15 from such a grave disease could be fed with half that amount-not on a diet like ours, but on plain, basic, life-sustaining food. It is not unreasonable to believe 16 the amount of money we spend on the average pet dog could keep a child 17 in a region of great poverty. 18 what we would spend on a cat might not feed a child, but it 19 probably pay for his medical care or basic education. The point needs no 20 . That is all that need be said.11. A. relied B. fund C. domestic D. medical12. A. why B. when C. where D. which13. A. with B. for C. against D. without14.

Reading ComprehensionPassage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?" "When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?" "Why didn't I realize that Paul was friendly just because I had a car?" When we look back, doubts like these can make up feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. If we don't really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog." Is he really on your side? If he says, "You're a lucky boy" or "You're a lucky girl", that's being friendly. But there's a bit of envy in "lucky dog." Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn't think you deserve your luck."Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for" is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn't important. It's telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His gesture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think.The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you many save another mistake.21. According to the writer, when people look back it is too late, because .A. mistakes have already been madeB. mistakes can made them feel badC. they are unaware of their mistakesD. they are doubtful of their friends22. People make mistakes when they fail toA. deal with others with due friendlinessB. hide their true feelings in what they sayC. realize they deserve what they have gotD. see the real meaning of what others say23. Judging from the phrase "just think of all the things you have to be thankful for", it is clear that the speaker actually lacks .A. optimismB. sympathyC. motivationD. courage24. To be a successful listener, one is advised to1. A. ask the speaker as many questions as he can2. B. observe the speaker as carefully as possible3. C. listen to the speaker as attentively as he can4. D. challenge the speaker as actively as possible25. The passage aims to tell readers how to .A. interpret what people sayB. interpret what money meansC. avoid mistakes about peopleD. avoid mistakes about moneyPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Doctors have long known that eating fish helps protect against heart disease. What they don't know is why fish are beneficial. For years they figured it was a simple question of substitution: folks who replace red meat with fish are naturally cutting down their intake of saturated (饱和的) fat. But a growing body of evidence collected over the past 30 years suggests fish contain healthful elements called omega-3 fatty acids.Omega-3 fatty acids belong to a group of compounds known as polyunsaturated fats. These fats serve as the raw material for a whole host of essential structures in the body, from brain cells to molecules (分子) that regulate blood pressure.Since our bodies cannot manufacture their own supply of omega-3s, we have to get them from the food we eat, mostly from fish but also from plant sources like soybeans (大豆).The American Heart Association has recommended that everyone eat two 85-g servings of fatty fish a week. But the A.H.A's expert panel wasn't ready to declare that taking omega-3 pills will protect your heart. It's just too easy to get more omega-3 than you need from pills, and the panel was worried that an excess could cause serious side effects, such as internal bleeding.The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, however, allowed manufactures of omega-3 pills and fish oils to advertise the fat's benefits-as long as the label does not suggest taking more than two grams per day.One thing is clear whether you get your omega-3s from pills, oils or fish: they are not cure-alls. You still have to eat a well-balanced diet that's lower in total fat than most Americans currently consume. Otherwise, you're fishing for trouble.26. Doctors have long been puzzled by .A. why red meat is harmfulB. how beneficial fish areC. what makes fish healthfulD. how red meat is replaced27. We can learn from the passage that .1. A. human beings get omega-3s from their food2. B. omega-3s are only found in fish and soybeans3. C. omega-3s are the raw material for saturated fats4. D. polyunsaturated fats constitute human molecules28. The A.H.A. didn't recommend omega-3 pills, because1. A. it had no knowledge of the safe dose of omega-32. B. it had no evidence that they can protect the heart3. C. the pills contain too little omega-3 to be helpful4. D. one is likely to get too much omega-3 from the pills29. The FDA allowed manufacturers of omega-3 pills and fish oils to advertise omega-3's benefits on condition that1. A. their suggested dose is printed on the label2. B. their suggested dose is within the safety limit3. C. the fat's potential side effects are mentioned4. D. the products contain side effects are mentioned30. The writer seems to suggest that1. A. omega-3s can balance one's diet2. B. omega-3s can serve as a supplement3. C. an unbalanced diet is made worse by omega-3s4. D. a well-balanced diet contains enough omega-3sPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.It was a terrible tragedy, six times more deadly than the Titanic (泰坦尼克号). When the German ship Wilhelm Gustloff was hit by torpedoes (鱼雷) fired from a Russian submarine (潜水艇) in the final winter of World War II, more than 10,000 people---mostly women, children and old people fleeing the final Red Army push into Germany-were packed aboard. An ice storm had turned the dicks into frozen sheets that sent hundreds of families sliding into sea as the ship listed and began to go down. Others desperately tried to put lifeboats down. Some who succeeded fought off those in the water who had the strength to try to get aboard. Most people froze immediately. "I'll never forget the screams," says Christa Nutzmann, 87, one of the 1,200 survivors. She recalls watching the ship, brightly lit, slipping into its dark grave-and rarely mentioned for more than half a century.The long silence about the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff was probably unavoidable-and necessary. By unreservedly confessing their country's horrible crimes Germans have managed to win acceptance abroadand make peace with their neighbors. Today's unified Germany is more prosperous and stable than at any time in its long, troubled history. For that, a half century of willful forgetting about painful memories like the German Titanic was perhaps a reasonable price to pay. But even the most politically correct Germans believe that they've now earned the right to discuss the full historical record. Not to identify German suffering with that of its victims, but simply to acknowledge a terrible tragedy.31. The Wilhelm Gustloff went down because1. A. it ran into an ice storm2. B. it was hit by another ship3. C. it crashed into a submarine4. D. it was attacked by torpedoes32. Most passengers on board the Wilhelm Gustloff took the voyage to1. A. taste the luxury of the ship2. B. seek protection in another place3. C. escape the cold winter back home4. D. enjoy their holidays abroad33. As the ship began to sink, some passengers1. A. set the decks on fire as a signal for help2. B. fought fiercely on the decks for lifeboats3. C. jumped into sea and swam to a nearby ship4. D. prevented others from getting on their lifeboats34. The Wilhelm Gustloff tragedy remains a near secret for more than half a century because Germans1. A. preferred to say nothing about it2. B. were requested to keep silent about it3. C. spared not effort to cover up the story4. D. were denied access to the whole story35. It can be inferred from the passage that Germans no longer think that1.

An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new view of the universe. His theory has completely changed the way scientists understand time and space. Now, more and more people agree that the universe is something complicated than what they have ever thought before.Einstein was born is Germany in 1879. By 1914, young Einstein, already internationally famous, became a professor at an institute in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study. However, his peaceful life was soon broken by the First World War.Einstein hated violence. He was deeply affected by the war; he sat unhappily in his office doing little and lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.In the years following the First World War, people showered honors upon him. He became the head of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Noble Prize for Physics and was greatly honored and respected in Germany. However, his life was again disrupted. The Second World War broke out and Einstein had to move to the US, where he lived until his death in 1955.26.

My parents had registered me in a cultural summer program at a university in Seoul. For five weeks I was to live in a dormitory with hundreds of fellow second-generation Korean American teenagers.The first week of the program flew by, greatly damaging my self-confidence. My language skills were poor; the natives could not understand me when I spoke Korean. What’s more, I was having a difficult time adapting to the climate. The weather was hot and there was no air-conditioning.I didn’t know where to begin when I called my mother to tell her about my first days, but there was something I wanted to ask since stepping off the plane.“Mom, what does ‘gyo-po’ mean? I asked Grandma, but she didn’t seem to understand my question in Korean. ‘Gyo-po’ is what the natives—taxi drivers, waiters and saleswomen—are calling me every where I go.”“It means foreigner, my girl,” answered my mon.As I didn’t want to stand in the phone booth (电话亭) for too long, I got into the habit of writing down everything to tell my parents before calling them. It was boiling both inside and outside and the air felt hotter than my own breath. In a letter to my friend, I told her that in Seoul you didn’t move from one place to the next, you swam, as if you were in Africa.“Oh, it means foreigner?” I replied in surprise. I didn’t have much else to say to my mom that day. Nothing on my list seemed important anymore.31.

However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine, and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first award ceremony.Nobel’s original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from $30,000 to $125,000.Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s death, the awards (gold medal, illuminated diploma, and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judges’ decisions. Americans have won numero us science awards, but relatively few literature prizes.No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War II.

Relations with the neighboring and in some ways similar civilization of Mesopotamia were always close, though often hostile. Syria and Palestine suffered much in biblical times from the competition of the two world powers of the day.

C.Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:How men first learned to invent words is unknown. In other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agree upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words.The power of words, then lies in their associations—the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increase.41.How language began is ________.a. a legend handed down from the pastb. a matter that is hidden and secretc. a question difficult to answerd. a problem not yet solved42.Why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and actions was that ________.a. they could agree upon certain thingsb. they could communicate with each otherc. they could write them downd. they could combine them43.The meaning of words comes from their ________.a. lettersb. differencesc. soundsd. associations44.By ―association‖, the author means ________.a. a joining of ideas in the mindsb. a special qualityc. a strange featured. an appearance which is puzzling45.Which of the following statements is true?a.The more we read and learn, the more ignorant we are.b.The more we read and learn, the more sensitive we become.c.The more we read and learn, the more learned we are.d.The more we read and learn, the more confused we will be.Part III Cloze (15%)Cotton, like silk, was discovered and made (46)________ cloth by man before the historical period began.

In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference. The source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic devices such as portable computers, radio and cassette players and mobile telephones.RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation (航空) industry, has recommendedthat all airlines ban (禁止) such devices from being used during "critical" stages of flight, particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although some airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft's computers. Experts know that portable devices emit radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft use for navigation and communication. 8ut, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not.The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable (易受损的) to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio systems in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the passenger who can't hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music's too loud.16. The passage is mainly about __________.A. a new regulation for all airlinesB. the defects of electronic devicesC. a possible cause of aircraft crashesD. effective safety measures for air flight17. What is said about the over 10O aircraft incidents in the past 15 years?A. They may have been caused by the damage to the radio systems-B. They may have taken Place during take-off and landing.C. They were proved to have been caused by the passengers, portable computers.D. They were suspected to have resulted from electromagnetic interference.18. Few airlines want to impose a total passengers using electronic devices because_________.A. they don’t believe there is such a danger as radio interferenceB. the harmful effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be provedC. most passengers refuse to take a plane which bans the use of radio and cassette playersD. they have other effective safety measures to fall back on19. Why is it difficult to predict the possible effects of electromagnetic field on an airplane's computers?A. Because it is extremely dangerous to conduct such research on an airplaneB. Because it remains a mystery what wavelengths are liable to be interfered with.C. Because research scientists have not been able to produce the same effects in labsD. Because expert lack equipment to do such research.20. It can be inferred from the passage that the author ________.A. is in favor of prohibiting passengers-use of electronic devices completelyB. has overestimated the danger of electromagnetic interferenceC. hasn't formed his own opinion on this problemD. regards it as unreasonable to exercise a total ban during flightQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness "for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am 1 making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people adversely. A person's self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people's reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing”. Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliments because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a compliment with a statement like this one: "You're just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true." It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness With determined and patient effort in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. For example, most people would like to be “A” students in every subject. It is not fair for them to label themselves inferior because they have difficulty in some areas. People’s expectations of themselves must be realistic. Living on the impossible leads to a sense of inadequacy.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual. We are interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.21. The first paragraph is mainly about __________.A. the characteristics of shy peopleB. the cause of shynessC. the questions in the minds of shy peopleD. the effect of shyness on people22.

They are also the means by which products and services that are in limited supply are rationed among buyers. The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad of services, including labor, professional, transportation, and public-utility services. The interrelationships of all these prices make up the "system" of prices. The price of any particular product or service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.If one were to ask a group of randomly selected individuals to define “price", many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or, in other words, that price is the money value of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction. The definition is, of course, valid as far as it goes. For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction , much more than the amount of money involved must be known. 80th the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged , the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that apply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service，delivery terms, return privileges, and other factors. In other words, both buyer and seller should be fully aware of all the factors that comprise total “package” being exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.26.

This phase is a two-fold one, including recovery and prosperity. During the recovery there is every-growing expansion of existing facilities, and new facilities for production are created. More businesses are created and older ones expanded. Improvements of various kinds are made. There is an ever increasing optimism about the future of economic growth. Much Capital is invested in machinery and “heavy”industry. More labor is employed. More raw materials are required. As one part of the economy develops, other parts are affected. For example, a great expansion in automobiles result in an expansion of the steel, glass, and rubber industries. Roads are required; thus the cement and machinery industries are stimulated. Demand for labor and materials results in greater prosperity for workers and suppliers of raw materials, including farmers. This increases purchasing power and the volume of goods bought and sold.
