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.
