Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. （40 points）Text 1A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys. People art actually more stressed at home than at work. Researchers measured people's cortisol ， which is it at stress marker， while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.“Further contradicting conventional wisdom， we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home，” writes one of the researchers. Sarah Damaske， In fact women say they feel better at work. She notes. “it is men not women. Who report being happier at home than at work，” Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with children without， but more so for nonparents. This is why people who work outside the home have better health.What the study doesn't measure is whether people are still doing work when they' re at home， whether it is household work or work brought home from the office. For many men， the end of the workday is a time to kick back. For women who stay home，they never get to leave the office. And for women who work outside the home， they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks. With the blurring of roles， and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women， it' s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.But it's not just a gender thing. At work， people pretty much know what they're supposed to be doing： working， making money， doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income. The bargain is very pure： Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.On the home front， however， people have no such clarity. Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. There are a lot of tasks to be done， there are inadequate rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues-your family-have no clear rewards for their labor； they need to be talked into it， or if they' re teenagers， threatened with complete removal of 新祥旭官网/all electronic devices. Plus， they' re your family. You cannot fire your family. You never really get to go home from home.So it's not surprising that people are more stressed at home. Not only are the tasks apparently infinite， the co-workers are much harder to motivate.21.According to Paragraph 1，most previous surveys found that home ______.[A]was an unrealistic place for relaxation[B]generated more stress than the workplace[C]was an ideal place for stress measurement[D]offered greater relaxation than the workplace22.According to Damaske， who are likely to be the happiest at home？[A]Working mothers[B]Childless husbands[C] Childless wives[D]Working fathers23 The blurring of working women's roles refers to the fact that ______.[A]they are both bread winners and housewives[B]their home is also a place for kicking back[C]there is often much housework left behind[D]it is difficult for them to leave their office24.The word“moola”（Line 4，Para 4）most probably means ______.[A]energy[B]skills[C]earnings[D]nutrition25.The home front differs from the workplace in that ______.[A]home is hardly a cozier working environment[B]division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut[C]household tasks are generally more motivating新祥旭官网/[D]family labor is often adequately rewarded【参考答案】21. D 22. B 23. A 24. C 25. B【主要内容】本文主要讲述工作环境压力问题。

(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案)：（7分）You probably know you should say “please” and “thank you” at restaurants. You probably know the rules of a library. You know you should respect and be nice to your classmates. But do you have music manners?Keep It Down!You have to notice the volume of your music. You should not play your music so loud that everyone around you can hear it. Some people might even get angry. Usually, when you play the music loud on an MP3 player, other people can’t hear the words of the song. They just hear a loud sound. No one wants to listen to this. Very loud music can also be bad for your ears, so even if you are alone when listening to our MP3 player, you shouldn’t have it turned up too high.Take Them Off!

There are other places, like museums, that don’t have rules, but it would be rude to have your MP3 player on. Sometimes, it just doesn’t make sense to listen your MP3 player at event. Why would you listen to music at a play, a movie or a sporting event? You would miss what is going on and others would wonder why you even came.Take One Out!Once in a while it’s okay just to take out one earphone and not other. Imagine you are listening on your MP3 player when someone asks you the way. It would not be rude to take out one earphone, tell himthe way, and put back the earphone and continue listening. You can also do this when you order food at a fast-food restaurant or when you answer the telephone and it’s not for you.It’s Your Choice! There are times when you need to decide what is best. For example, some people can listen to music on their MP3 players when read books, while others think it is disturbing. In cases like this, you need to do what seems right for you.8.

PART V READING COMPREHENSION [25 MIN]In this section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with foursuggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.TEXT AAt some time in your life you may have a strong desire to do something strange or terrible. However,chances are that you don’t act on your impulse, but let it pass instead. You know that to commit the action iswrong in some way and that other people will not accept your behavior.Perhaps the most interesting thing about the phenomenon of taboo behavior is how it can change over theyears within the same society, how certain behavior and attitudes once considered taboo can become perfectlyacceptable and natural at another point in time. Topics such as death, for example, were once considered soupsetting and unpleasant that it was a taboo to even talk about them. Now with the publication of important bookssuch as On Death and Dying and Learning to Say Goodbye, people have become more aware of the importance ofexpressing feelings about death and, as a result, are more willing to talk about this taboo subject.One of the newest taboos in American society is the topic of fat. Unlike many other taboos, fat is topic thatAmericans talk about constantly. It’s not taboo to talk about fat; it’s taboo to be fat. The “In the work world, most companies prefer youthful-looking, trim executives to sell their image as well as theirproducts to the public. The thin look is associated with youth, vigor, and success. The fat person, on the otherhand, is thought of as lazy and lacking in energy, self-discipline, and self-respect. In an image-conscious societylike the U.S., thin is “in”, fat is “out”．It’s not surprising, then, that millions of Americans have become obsessed with staying slim andThe pursuit of a youthful physical appearance is not, however, the sole reason for America’s fas and exercise. Recent research has shown the critical importance of diet and exercise for personal health. As inmost technologically developed nations, the life-style of North Americans has changed dramatically during thecourse of the last century. Modern machines do all the physical labor that people were once forced to do by hand.Cars and buses transport us quickly from point to point. As a result of inactivity and disuse, peopleeasily become weak and vulnerable to disease. In an effort to avoid such a fate, millions of Americans arespending more of their time exercising.1.From the passage we can infer taboo is__.A.a strong desire to do something strange or terrible.B.a crime committed on impulse.C.behavior considered unacceptable in society’s eyes.D.an unfavorable impression left on other people.2.Based on the ideas presented in the passage we can conclude “being fat” __ in American society.A.will always remain a taboo.B.is not considered a taboo by most people.C.has long been a taboo.D.may no longer be a taboo some day.3.The topic of fat is __ many other taboo subjects.A.the same asB.different fromC.more popular thanD.less often talked about than.4.In the U.S., thin is “in”, fat is “out”, this means__.A.thin is “inside”, fat is “outside”．B.thin is “diligent”, fat is “lazy”．C.thin is “youthful”, fat is “spiritless”．D.thin is “fashionable”, fat is “unfashionable”．5.Apart from this new understanding of the correlation between health and exercise, the main reason thepassage gives for why so many Americans are exercising regularly is__.A.their changed life-style.B.their eagerness to stay thin and youthful.C.their appreciation of the importance of exercise.D.the encouragement they have received from their companies.TEXT BThe discovery of the Antarctic not only proved one of the most interesting of all geographical adventures, butcreated what might be called “the heroic age of Antarctic exploration”. By their tremendous heroism, m Shakleton, Scott, and Amundsen caused a new continent to emerge from the shadows, and yet that heroic age,little more than a century old, is already passing. Modern science and inventions are revolutionizing the endurance,future journeys into these icy wastes will probably depend on motor vehicles equipped with caterpillar tractionrather than on the dogs that earlier discoverers found so invaluable and hardly comparable.Few realize that this Antarctic continent is almost equal in size to South America, and enormous field ofwork awaits geographers and prospectors. The coasts of this continent remain to be accurately charted, and themaping of the whole of the interior presents a formidable task to the cartographers who undertake the work. Oncetheir labors are completed, it will be possible to prospect the vast natural resources which scientists believe willfurnish one of the largest treasure hoards of metals and minerals the world has yet known, and almostinexhaustible sources of copper, coal, uranium, and many other ores will become available to man. Suchdiscoveries will usher in an era of practical exploitation of the Antarctic wastes.The polar darkness which hides this continent for the six winter months will be defeated by huge batteries oflight, and make possible the establishing of air-fields for the future inter-continental air services by making theseareas as light as day. Present flying routes will be completely changed, for the Antarctic refueling bases will makeflights from Australia to South America comparatively easy over the 5,000 miles journey.The climate is not likely to offer an insuperable problem, for the explorer Admiral Byrd has shown that theclimate is possible even for men completely untrained for expeditions into those frozen wastes. Some of hisparties were men who had never seen snow before, and yet he records that they survived the rigors of theAntarctic climate comfortably, so that, provided that the appropriate installations are made, we may assume thathuman beings from all countries could live there safely. Byrd even affirms that it is probably the most healthyclimate in the world, for the intense cold of thousands of years has sterilize this continent, and rendered itabsolutely germfree, with the consequences that ordinary and extraordinary sickness and diseases from which mansuffers in other zones with different climates are here utterly unknown. There exist no problems of conservationand preservation of food supplies, for the latter keep indefinitely without any signs of deterioration; it may evenbe that later generations will come to regard the Antarctic as the natural storehouse for the whole world.Plans are already on foot to set up permanent bases on the shores of this continent, and what so few years agoof human life and endeavor.was regarded as a “dead continent” now promises to be a most active center6.When did man begin to explore the AntarcticA.About 100years ago.B.In this century.C.At the beginning of the 19th century.D.In 1798.7.What must the explorers be, even though they have modern equipment and techniquesA.Brave and toughB.Stubborn and arrogant.C.Well-liked and humorous.D.Stout and smart.8.The most healthy climate in the world is___.A.in South America.B.in the Arctic Region.C.in the Antarctic Continent.D.in the Atlantic Ocean.9.What kind of metals and minerals can we find in the AntarcticA.Magnetite, coal and ores.B.Copper, coal and uranium.C.Silver, natural gas and uranium.D.Aluminum, copper and natural gas.10.What is planned for the continentA.Building dams along the coasts.B.Setting up several summer resorts along the coasts.C.Mapping the coast and whole territory.D.Setting up permanent bases on the coasts.TEXT CWithout regular supplies of some hormones our capacity to behave would be seriously impaired; withoutothers we would soon die. Tiny amounts of some hormones can modify moods and actions, our inclination to eator drink, our aggressiveness or submissiveness, and our reproductive and parental behavior. And hormones domore than influence adult behavior; early in life they help to determine the development of bodily form and mayeven determine an individual’s behavioral capacities. Later in life the changing outputs of some endocrine glandsand the body’s changing sensitivity to some hormones are essential aspects of the phenomena of aging.Communication within the body and the consequent integration of behavior were considered the exclusiveprovince of the nervous system up to the beginning of the present century. The emergence of endocrinology as aseparate discipline can probably be traced to the experiments of Bayliss and Starling on the hormone secretion.This substance is secreted from cells in the intestinal walls when food enters the stomach; it travels through thebloodstream and stimulates the pancreas to liberate pancreatic juice, which aids in digestion. By showing thatspecial cells secret chemical agents that are conveyed by the bloodstream and regulate distant target organs ortissues. Bayliss and starling demonstrated that chemical integration could occur without participation of thenervous system.The term “hormone” was first used with reference to secretion. Starling derived the term from the Greekhormone, meaning “to excite or set in motion. The term “endocrine” was introduced shortly thereafter “Endocrine” is used to refer to glands that secret products into the bloodstream. The term “e with “exocrine”, which is applied to glands that secret their products though ducts to the site of action. Examplesof exocrine glands are the tear glands, the sweat glands, and the pancreas, which secrets pancreatic juice through aduct into the intestine. Exocrine glands are also called duct glands, while endocrine glands are called ductless.11.What is the author’s main purpose in the passage?A.To explain the specific functions of various hormones.B.To provide general information about hormones.C.To explain how the term “hormone” evolved.D.To report on experiments in endocrinology.12.The passage supports which of the following conclusions?A.The human body requires large amounts of most hormones.B.Synthetic hormones can replace a person’s natural supply of hormones if necessary.C.The quantity of hormones produced and their effects on the body are related to a person’sD.The short child of tall parents very likely had a hormone deficiency early in life.13.It can be inferred from the passage that before the Bayliss and Starling experiments, most people believed thatchemical integration occurred only___.A.during sleep.B.in the endocrine glands.C.under control of the nervous system.D.during strenuous exercise.14.The word “liberate” could best be replaced by which of the following?A.EmancipateB.DischargeC.SurrenderD.Save15.According to the passage another term for exocrine glands is___.A.duct glandsB.endocrine glandsC.ductless glandsD.intestinal glands.TEXT DIf the old maxim that the customer is always right still has meaning, then the airlines that ply the worldbusiest air route between London and Paris have a flight on their hands.The Eurostar train service linking the UK and French capitals via the Channel Tunnel is winning customersin increasing numbers. In late May, it carried its one millionth passenger, having run only a limited servicebetween London, Paris and Brussels since November 1994, starting with two trains a day in each direction to Parisand Brussels. By 1997, the company believes that it will be carrying ten million passengers a year, and continue togrow from there.From July, Eurostar steps its service to nine trains each way between London and Paris, and five betweenLondon and Brussels. Each train carries almost 800 passengers, 210 of them in first class.The airlines estimate that they will initially lose around 15%-20% of their London-Paris traffic to therailways once Eurostar starts a full service later this year (1995), with 15 trains a day each way. A similar servicewill start to Brussels. The damage will be limited, however, the airlines believe, with passenger numbers returningto previous levels within two to three years.In the short term, the damage caused by the 1 million people-levels traveling between London and Paris andBrussels on Eurostar trains means that some air services are already suffering. Some of the major carriers say thattheir passenger numbers are down by less than 5% and point to their rivals-Particularly Air France-as havingsuffered the problems. On the Brussels route, the railway company had less success, and the airlines reportanything from around a 5% drop to no visible decline in traffic.The airlines' optimism on returning traffic levels is based on historical precedent. British Midland, forexample, points to its experience on Heathrow Leeds Bradford service which saw passenger numbers fold by 15%when British Rail electrified and modernized the railway line between London and Yorkshire. Two years later, travel had risen between the two destinations to the point where the airline was carrying record numbers of passengers.16.British airlines confide in the fact that__.A.they are more powerful than other European airlines.B.their total loss won’t go beyond a drop of 5% passengers.C.their traffic levels will return in 2-3 years.D.traveling by rail can never catch up with traveling by air.17.The author’s attitude towards the drop of passengers may be described as__.A.worried.B.delightedC.puzzled.D.unrivaled.18.In the passage, British Rail (Para 6) is mentioned to__.A.provide a comparison with Eurostar.B.support the airlines’ optimism.C.prove the inevitable drop of air passengers.D.call for electrification and modernization of the railway.19.The railway’s Brussels route is brought forth to show that__.A.the Eurostar train service is not doing good business.B.the airlines can well compete with the railway.C.the Eurostar train service only caused little damage.D.only some airlines, such as Air France, are suffering.20.The passage is taken from the first of an essay, from which we may well predict that in the following part theauthor is going to__.-mindedness.A.praise the airlines’ clearB.warn the airlines of high-speed rail services.C.propose a reduction of London/Paris flights.D.advise the airlines to follow British Midland as their model.答案： 1-5 CDBDB 6-10 AACBD 11-15 BDCBA 16-20 ABCB。

But they are so powerful.Like all living things, bacteria need food to grow. When they grow they multiply. A few bacteria become many in a matter of minutes. When bacteria settle on food, they make changes in it. These changes are what we call spoiling.To keep food from spoiling, we must first kill any bacteria that may already be in it. Heat and cooking do this. Next we must keep any bacteria in the air away from the food. So we pack it into cans as airless as we can make them. We seal the cans tight. With no bacteria in the food and no air with bacteria able to reach it, fruits, fish, meat and vegetables will stay unspoiled in a can for years.11. Bacteria can only be seen under a microscope because __________ . ( B ) they are so tiny12. The heating and cooking is done __________ . ( D ) to kill the bacteria already in the food13. How do bacteria multiply ?( A ) Very rapidly14. What are the changes which the bacteria make in food called ?( D )Spoiling15. Food is canned ___________ . ( C )to preserve it for a period of years4.重点The word “sport” first meant something that people did in ….16-20 CABDCThe word ―sport‖ first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds. About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of their time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during their time the best ones can earn a lot of money.For example, a professional footballer in England earns more than 30,000 pounds a year. The stars earn a lot more. International golf and tennis champions can make more than50, 000 in a year. Of course, only few sportsmen can earn as much money as that. It is only possible in sports for individuals, like golf, tennis and motor-racing. Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this: the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sport. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply say ―Buy our things‖. It says: ―Buy the same shirt and shoes as …‖ Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or a photograph of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people’s spare time.16. What is the meaning of the word ―sport‖ today according to the passage? ( C ) Organized games.17. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? ( A ) . People play sports whenever they want to.18. What kinds of people are called professional sportsmen? ( B ). Those who are paid for the sport they play.19. When it comes to how much a professional footballer in England can earn, which of the following is true? ( D )The stars earn a lot more than common professional footballers do.20. What does the passage tell us? ( C )C. As time goes on, sport is no longer just something for people’s spare time.5.Jupiter Communications, a market research firm, ..72%....1-5 C D D B CJupiter Communications, a market research firm, reports that 72% of teenagers in the United States will be online by 2003 (Stanton, 2000). This alone indicates that students will learn and communicate electronically more than any previous generation. At the same time, teenagers are not the only digital learners. With the growing number of online courses, the increasing accessibility of computers, and the increasing number of computer users, students of all ages are taking advantage of distance learning or are using computers to enhance the traditional classroom experience.Two things emerge in the study of students’ attitudes toward online learning: individual situations impact students’ perceptions of computer-based learning and students’ varied individual characteristics make it d ifficult to define their perceptions conclusively. For example, some students have their own computers, while others rely on computer labs. Such variation in computer access can result in attitudinal differences. In addition, the purpose of computer use varies. Distance education courses, for example, use computers in different ways than traditional classrooms, which can also affect students’ perceptions. A wide variety of achievement levels and attitudes exist among both online and traditional learners. Although an illusory ―typical learner‖ exists, a variety of factors, including students’ gender, age, and motivation, could explain diffe rent reactions among the student population.1.What will make online learning more and more popular? (C) The increase of computer users.2.Who may become online learners? (D) People of all ages and backgrounds.3.According to the passage, what does "digital learners" mean? (D) Online learners.4.Which of the following is the main factor that makes it difficult to define students' perceptions of online learning definitely?(B) Learners' varied characteristics.5.What is the author's attitude towards online learning? (C) positive6.Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, 6-10 A C B C AEver since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be usedinternationally; spelling, however, cannot. Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction. Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people. While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.6.Which of the following best summarizes this passage?(A) When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication.7.Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?(C) The deaf and mute do not need sign language for communication.8.Which form other than oral speech would be most commonly used among blind people? (B) Braille.9.How many different forms of communication are mentioned here? (C) 8 — 1010.Sign language is said to be very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally as it doesn't represent _____. (A) spellings7.Some people seem to have a knack for learning languages. 11-15 C C A B DSome people seem to have a knack for learning languages. They can pick up new vocabulary, master rules of grammar, and learn to write in the new language more quickly than others. They do not seem to be any more intelligent than others, so what makes languages so much easier for them to learn? Perhaps if we take a close look at these successful language learnerswe may discover a few of the techniques that make language learning easier for them.First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher. They discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They try to learn from their mistakes.Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, they do not wait for a chance to use the language. Instead they look for such a chance. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear and to say strange things. They are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. They find it easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn it.11.The best learners of languages ______. (C) have the best language learning techniques12.People who learn languages easily seem to have a _______ for learning them. (C) knack13.According to the passage the key factor in language learning is probably____. (A) the learner14.Successful language learners are _______, ______ learners with a purpose. (B) independent, active15.Successful language learners learn the language by _____________.( D) trying to communicate and learning from mistakes8.During sleep, the fatigue (疲劳) of the body 16-20 A D D C DDuring sleep, the fatigue (疲劳) of the body disappears and recuperation ( 恢复) begins. The tired mind gathers new energy. Once awake, the memory improves, and annoyance and problems are seen in a better perspective.Some adults require little sleep; others need eight to ten hours in every twenty-four. Infants sleep sixteen to eighteen hours daily and, as they grow older, the amount gradually diminishes. Young students may need twelve hours; university students may need ten. A worker with a physically demanding job may also need ten, whereas an executive worker under great pressure may manage on six to eight. Many famous people are reputed to have required little sleep. Napoleon, Thomas Edison and Charles Darwin apparently averaged only four to six hours a night.Whatever your individual need, you can be sure that by the age of thirty you will have slept for a total of more than twelve years. By that age you will also have developed a sleep routine: a favorite hour, a favorite bed, a favorite position, and a formula you need to follow in order to rest comfortably.Investigators have tried to find out how long a person can go without sleep. Several people have reached more than 115 hours? nearly five days, whereas animals kept awake for from five to eight days have died of exhaustion. The limit for human beings is probably about a week.16.The writer implies that _________.( A) sleep is important for good mental and physical health17.From the amount of sleep Napoleon, Edison and Darwin required, we can infer that_______.( D) they were involved in mentally demanding work18.The amount of sleep required ________. ( D) all of the above.19.According to the passage, the sleeping routine will be built at the age of _________. ( C) 3020.From animal experiments, we can conclude that the final result of the lack of sleep is probably __. ( D) death9.College brings together people from all walks of life. 21-25 A C B D BCollege brings together people from all walks of life. There are so many different types of people in the world but if you go to a college campus, you are sure to find at least one of every kind. The great part about being here with so many different people is that you get to interact with some interesting characters and see how to deal with them. You will meet the peopleyou dread the most, the smart-ass, the brain, or the unique spirit, but no matter who it is that is your worst nightmare to be around you will always be paired up with them in a group project. When you get into the real world you are not going to be able to pick your boss or coworkers. Interacting with these people in college and living with different roommates will help you learn how to cooperate with the people in life you find so unpleasant. College life is fun. The fact that I have been here for a short time just means it has not yet been a life changing experience to me. If I were to give any tips on how to survive, it would not be how to survive college, but how to survive life. I would have to say that one should be outgoing and live life to the fullest. Meet new people whenever you can because they just may be a major influence in your life. Also, get your work done before you go out and party. Lastly, I would have to say, in life if you ever feel lost or alone, talk to someone about it. Everyone gets depressed at times in their life and there is always someone who will listen to your problems.21.What is the theme of the passage? ( A) Relationships in college.22.What does the author say about group projects? ( C) Partners may not cooperate.23.Why does the author recommend meeting many new people? ( B) They may influence your life.24.How would you describe the author's personality? ( D) Optimistic and outgoing.25.What does the author say to do if you're depressed? ( B) Talk to someone about it.10.Women have made great strides since then ….26-30 D B A C CWomen have made great strides since then in achieving political equality. Recently, American feminists have been working hard to achieve social and economic equality as well as political. Their belief is that, as there is nothing that women cannot do just as well as men, they should be shown the same respect and have the same social rights and the same pay as their male counterparts. Anything less is discrimination and sexism.Few American girls agree with the extreme feminists who deride marriage and romantic love, but more and more of them are prepared to live with a man outside marriage, often with the intention of buying a home and marrying only when, between them, they have saved enough money. Young couples today share both the household chores and care of the baby.The old generations, especially those that live in the city suburbs, are bewildered and disturbed by this trend. It is all against the great American tradition of the "home" as the symbol of the unified family.The American woman makes the most of her free time. She helps with political campaigns. She sits on committees. She goes to classes of all kinds, from health foods to English literature, from environmental studies to karate. She swims, plays tennis, and she takes an active interest in her children's education. In most of these activities her companions are other housewives from her neighborhood.There are women executives of some important industries and businesses. In fact there are women in most jobs which were formerly reserved for men. There are women lawyers, doctors, architects, as well as women bus drivers, but the ordinary working women will earn less than a man gets for doing the same job although there is a law which makes this illegal. American girls tend to marry young, which means that 60% of the women in work are married. This also helps to explain why so many young married couples have such a high standard of living.American women seem to have more self-confidence than women from most other countries. For years they have felt no inferiority whatsoever to the male sex. Therefore visitors to the USA rarely meet militant feminists.26.American feminists believe that women have .( D)not got enough social and economical equality as well as political one.27.Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 2?（B）Most American girls believe that there exists true love between men and women.28.According to the passage, more and more boys and girls choose to get married when .( A )they have made enough money for their marriage29.. In a newly-married couple's family, who might take care of the baby?( C) both wife and husband30.In her spare time, the American woman enjoys being involved in all the following activities except .( C) scientific research11.The names of certain places in the United States …. 31-35 C A B B DThe names of certain places in the United States make people think of big businesses. Detroit, a city in Michigan, means cars. Texas means oil. Wall Street in New York means the stock market and ―big money‖.There is another place-name that is well known in the U.S.A. That is Madison Avenue. Madison Avenue in New York is the place where many advertising companies have their offices. And advertising is one of the biggest businesses in America.The same kinds of things are produced and sold by many different companies in the U.S. Many different companies sell cars; many others sell oil. Many different companies sell soap, tires, and so on. Each company wants the public to buy its products. By advertising these companies make the public interested in what they want to sell.Each company pays advertisers to tell the public about its product. Suppose a company has new breakfast cereal that it wants to sell. In an advertising office on Madison Avenue plans are made for telling the public about this product. The advertising company takes beautiful pictures of people eating the cereal. These pictures appear in newspapers or magazines and also on TV.31.Detroit reminds people of _____________. ( C) cars32.Madison Avenue is very famous because ____________.（A）it is a place where many advertising companies have their offices33.Why do people advertise their products ?（B）Different companies produce and sell the same products.34.The advertising of a new breakfast cereal is mentioned in the passage to show ___________.（B）how a certain product is advertised35.What is the main idea of the passage ? （D）Advertising is a very big business in America.12.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some …. 36-40 B C A D BIt is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.36. According to the passage, two unrelated people randomly taken from the population _______.(B) are very likely to have different intelligence37. The example that two identical twins are very likely as intelligent as each other shows that _____________.(C)blood relationship is very important in determining a person’s intelligence38. What conclusion can be drawn from the example of two twins going to a university and to a factory separately?（A）Environment makes a difference between the intelligence degrees of two twins.39. According to the passage, which of the following statements is correct?（D）People who are not related at all have completely different degrees of intelligence.40. What’s the main idea of this passage?（B）Two identical twins are as intelligent as each other.13. A young man who served as a drum-player in a band, …. 41-45 B D A C BA young man who served as a drum-player in a band, had just married, and he and his wife were looking for somewhere to live. They saw a lot of places, but there was always something that one of them did not like about them. At last, however, they found a new house which both of them really like. However, there was still the problem of whether they should take one of the ground-floor rooms, which had a small garden, or one of the upstairs ones.At last they decided on the first-floor room – not too low down and not high up – and moved in. After they had bought everything they needed, they gave a big party for setting up of their first home together.It was a cheerful and noise party, as all the friends from the band came with their violins and drums. The guests danced, sang and played noisily.Soon after one a.m. the telephone rang. The wife went to answer it in the hall, and after she finished, she came back with a happy smile on her face and said to her husband, ―that was the man who has just moved into the room downstairs telephoning, dear, I’m so glad we decides not to choose it. He says it is terribly noise down there‖.41. Why did the couple hold a party?(B ) They wanted to celebrate the setting up of their first home.42. Which aspect of the ground-floor rooms attracted the couple before they decided on one of the first-floor rooms?(D )The ground-floor rooms had a small garden.43. The party was noisy and cheerful because ________________.(A )all their friends from the band came with their musical instruments44. What did the wife think about their decision after she received the telephone call?(C )They were lucky because they did not move into the ground-floor room.45. What did the man in the ground-floor room want to do?(B )To complain about the noise coming from upstairs.14. A great French writer has ever said that we should help…. 46-50 B B B A DA great French writer has ever said that we should help everyone as possible as we can because we often need help ourselves. The small can even help the great. To this effect, he tells us the following story.An ant was drinking at a small stream and fell in. She made desperate efforts to reach the side, but made no progress at all. The poor ant, almost exhausted, was still bravely trying her best when a dove saw her. Moved with pity the bird threw her a blade of grass, which supported her like a raft, and thus she reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass she heard a man approaching. The man was walking along barefooted and carrying a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the dove he wished to kill her, and he would certainly have done so, but the ant bit him in the foot just as he raised his gun to fire. He stopped to see what was biting him, and the dove immediately flew away. It was an insect much weaker and smaller than herself that he had saved her life.46. Where was the ant making desperate efforts?( B) In the water47. The ant tried to reach the side _____________.( B) but failed48. The ant finally reached the bank __________.( B) with the help of a blade of grass49. How did the ant save the dove? ( A) By biting the man in the foot50. The moral of this story is ____________.

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D.（分数：10.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 解析：For decades, ferry boats crossed the cold waters of Michigan"s Straits of Mackinac, shuttling people and vehicles between the two halves of the split-up state. Since the 1880s, Michigan residents dreamed of a bridge that would span the 4-mile gap between Mackinaw City and St. Ignace, an area that limited tourism in Mackinac Island and disturbed commerce in the remote Upper Peninsula. Because construction would be hard, with high winds and harsh winters, some engineers suggested a floating tunnel or a series of small bridges instead. But, by the 1940s, with lines for ferry boats sometimes stretching for 16 miles, the idea of one continuous span won out. And what a span it turned out to be. Five miles long, the "Mighty Mac," which opened to traffic on Nov. 1, 1957, was to become the world"s longest suspension bridge between cable anchorages. Even today, it remains the longest suspension bridge in the Western Hemisphere and the third-longest bridge in the world. Designed by engineer David B. Steinman, the bridge was built in just three years, on time and on budget. That was a remarkable feat in itself. But the challenges were so great—33 of the bridge"s 34 pieces had to be built under water—that five workers perished during construction. One man died diving, one fell in a caisson while welding, another drowned, and two fell from a catwalk. The bridge has seen many tragedies since. On Sept. 10, 1978, three National Guard officers in a private plane got lost in a thick fog and crashed into the cables of the north tower. In 1989, a woman was killed when gale force winds—and her excessive speed—lifted her 1987 Yugo into the air, sending it 150 feet into the water. And in 1997, a sport utility vehicle took the plunge. Although authorities believed the latter incident to have been a suicide, the bridge does not attract jumpers the way, for instance, the Golden Gate does. In 1977, Lawrence Rubin of the Mackinac Bridge Authority shared his theory on the lack of leapers with the Detroit News: "People who commit suicide like attention. But it"s peaceful here... you could jump off this bridge, and it might take years before anybody found out." The bridge authority acknowledges that the prospect of such excitement may be overwhelming for some, which is why it offers free escorts for gephyrobiacs—people with a fear of crossing bridges. Each year, hundreds of drivers take advantage of the service.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the first paragraph, Michigan"s Straits of Mackinac（分数：2.00）A.realized Michigan residents" dream to have a bridge.B.became a tourist attraction in Mackinac Island.C.depressed the ferry service in the State of Michigan.D.blocked the development of commerce in Upper Peninsula, √解析：解析：事实细节题。

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET。

(40 points)Text 1It is curious that Stephen Koziatek feels almost as though he has to justify his efforts to give his students a better future。

Mr。

Koziatek is part of something pioneering。

He is a teacher at a New Hampshire high school where learning is not something of books and tests and mechanical memorization， but practical。

When did it become accepted wisdom that students should be able to name the 13th president of the United States but be utterly overwhelmed by a broken bike chain?As Koziatek knows，there is learning in just about everything。

Nothing is necessarily gained by forcing studentsto learn geometry at a graffitied desk stuck with generations of discarded chewing gum。

You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice．Your boss holds your future prospects in his hands. Some bosses are hard to get along with. Some have excellent qualifications but no idea when it comes to dealing with people. Of course, not all bosses are like that. The relationship you have with your boss can be a major factor in determining your rise up the career ladder. Your boss is not only your leader, he is also the person best equipped to help you do the job you are paid to do. He can inform you of company direction that may affect your professional development. Your boss also needs you to perform at your best in order to accomplish his objectives. He needs your feedback in order to provide realistic and useful reports to upper management. But how does this help you establish a meaningful working relationship with your boss? The key is communication. Learn and understand his goals and priorities(优先的事). Observe and understand your boss’s work style. If he has not been clear with his expectations, ask! Likewise, ask for feedback and accept criticism gracefully. And if he understands that you do not view your job as just something to fill the hours between 9 and 5, he may be more likely to help you. In short, getting along with your boss requires getting to know his likes and dislikes and learning to work with his personality and management style.1．The main idea of the first paragraph is that _____.A．bosses are hard to deal withB．bosses have good characterC．bosses determine your career futureD．bosses must have similar personality正确答案：C解析：根据题目要求定位到第一段。
