following passage:In the past,operations were difficult.Until the middle of the eighteen fifti es,surgery was very dangerous.Many patients died after even the smallest ope rations.This was because bacter ia entered the cuts in the patients’bodied and started infection.In some countries,up to90percent of patients died from inf ection afteroperations.In1865,however,Joseph Lister,a British surgeon,fou nd an answer to the problem.He used an“antiseptic”during and after operati ons.This killed the dangerous bacteria and most of his patients lived.Since th en,surgeons have used antiseptics in all operations.Surgery has developed in many important ways since the day of Joseph Lister.Today,when patients go to hospital for an operation,they can expect the best treatment,in clean and

accepted.Of those who were turned down,well over600are trying the foreign route.But gaining admittance to a good foreign school may be a problem.British medical schools give priority to Britons,and Canada’s world-renowned McGill University School of Medicine takes only a handful of well qualified American s annually.But several schools do welcome U.S.medical students---if they can master the local language.More than500Americans are enrolled in the Belgian universities at Brussels and Louvain,for example.So me800attend the Italian University at Bologna;175at Rome.Mexico’s Autonomous University of Guad alajara numbers1,300gringos among its4,000students.Despite difficulties abroad,many Americans complete their medical educatio ns,and manage to win the respect of their professors and classmates.One secon d-year student at Louvain has a simple explanation for those successes:“Anyon e who comes here to be motivated.You have to learn a new language,the sch ool is constant hard work,and it’s difficult to get back in to the States to practi ce”.Before they can intern or practice in the United States,graduates of foreign schools must pass a special examination required by

countries first.B.To enter foreign medical schools is much easier than to gain admittance into American medical schools if the problem of language is not regarded.C.There are not many good foreign medical schools according to Ameri can studentsD.There are so many difficulties in studying abroad that not many American students become successful in foreign medical schools40.Which of the following

Mexicans42.Which of the following can be the title of this passage?A.Foreign Medical Schools.B.Life at Foreign Medical School sC.The toughForeign Route.

Different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses b ecause of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945 , government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the pack aging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful. The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give pen icillin to beef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in th e milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals n ot for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply try ing to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Alth ough the Food and Drug Administration (FDA has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue. 48. What is the main topic of the passage?A. Food and our health C. Food and cancer B Food and additives D Food and culture 49 All of the following statements are true EXCEPT_______. A Forty percent of cancer is caused by problems related to food. B Researchers have known about the potential danger of food additives for many years C. We eat some of the food additives directly and some indirectly D Drugs are always given to animals for medicinal purposes 50.Why do farmers give drugs to their animals? A. to speed up the growth of animals animals fatter C to make the animals’ meat fit to eat nimals’ meat rich in nutrients 51. It can be inferred from the passage that_________. A scientist have made all the food fit to eat B only in recent year s have people found that the food is related to on e’s illness C all kinds of cancer are related to the diet D some additives are harmful to our health 52. The word “ this” in the second sentence of paragraph 2 most probably refers to __________. 11 / 14 D To make the a B To make theA farmerB penicillinC beef and poultryD the fact that farmers often give penicillin to a beef Part IV: Translation from English into Chinese (10% Directions: In this part, there are four items which you should translate into Chi nese, each item consisting of one sentence.

Of those who were turned down, well over 600 are trying t he foreign route.But gaining admittance to a good foreign school may be a problem. British medica l schools give priority to Britons , and Canada’s world-renowned McGill University Sc hool of Medicine takes only a handful of well qualified Americans annually. But severa l schools do welcome U.S. medical students---if they can master the local language. Mo re than 500 Americans are enrolled in the Belgian universities at Brussels and Louvain ,for example. Some 800 attend the Italian University at Bologna; 175 at Rome. Mexico’s Autonomous University of Guadalajara numbers 1,300 gringos among its 4,000 stude nts.Despite difficulties abroad, many Americans complete their medical educations, a nd manage to win the respect of their professors and classmates. One second-year stude nt at Louvain has a simple explanation for those successes: “ Anyone who comes here t o be motivated. You have to learn a new language, the school is constant hard work, an d it’s difficult to get back into the States to practice”.Before they can intern or practice in the United States, graduates of foreign school s must pass a special examination required by medical-education authorities. The tough test is designed primarily to weed out those who are unable to speak English or whose medical education is not up to U.S. standards.38. Which of the following is true about U.S. would-be physicians?A. America medical schools have superfluous applicantsB. language is a big problem all the American students applying to foreign medical schools have to face.C. Graduates from both American and foreign medical schools should take thesame test before practiceD. As many as one-third of last year’s applicants of medical schools are now applying to foreign schools39. Which is following is true about foreign medical education ?A. A lot of foreign medical schools do not welcome U.S. students simply because they have to consider the applicants form their own countries first.B. To enter foreign medical schools is much easier than to gain admittance intoAmerican medical schools if the problem of language is not regarded.C. There are not many good foreign medical schools according to American stu dentsD. There are so many difficulties in studying abroad that not many American students become successful in foreign medical schools40. Which of the following is one of the difficulties the American students at fore ign, medical schools have to face.A. Living and medical conditions in foreign countries are not so good as those in America.B. There is racial discrimination against them.C. They are given no opportunities to practice at local places.D. They are treated the same as foreign physicians and medical school graduates when trying to go back to America to practice.41. What does the word “gringos” mean?A. Americans.B. ForeignersC. Americans in MexicoD. Mexicans42. Which of the following can be the title of this passage?A. Foreign Medical Schools.B. Life at Foreign Medical SchoolsC. The toughForeign Route. D. American Would-be Physicians at Foreign Schools.Passage 3Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage :Summers with father were always enjoyable. Swimming , hiking , boating , fishin g—the days were not long enough to contain all of our activities. There never seemed to be enough time to go to church, which disturbed some friends and relations. Accuse d of neglecting this part of our education, my father instituted a summer school for my brother and me . However, his summer course included ancient history, which Papa f elt our schools neglected ,and navigation, in which we first had a formal examination i n the dining room, part of which consisted of tying several knots in a given time limit. Then we were each separately sent on what was grandly referred to as a cruise in my father’s 18-foot knockabout, spending the night on board, and loaded down, according to my mother, with enough food for a week. I remember that on my cruise I was requ ired to formally plot our course, using the tide table, even though our goal was an isla nd I could see quite clearly across the water in the distance.43. What was the original reasons for holding the summer school?A. Friends and relatives thought the children should learn religionB The father wanted the children to learn more about religionC. The children got poor grades in their regular schoolD. The regular school teachers neglected the children44 The purpose of the cruise mentioned in the passage was to ________.A. have funB. test the author’s sailing abilityC. reward the author for completing summer schoolD. get to the island45. Why did the author have to plot the course of her cruise ?A.She had to demonstrate her ability to do so.B. The coast was dangerous.C She was afraid of getting lost. D. The tides were strong46. How long did the author’s cruise last?A. all summerB. overnightC. a weekD. one day, morning till night47 Apparently a knockabout is _______.A. an island B a boat C a cruise D a seaman’s knotPassage 4Questions 48 to 52 are based on the following passage:The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science ha s made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has , at the same time, made many foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of canc er is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon . Different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in the se cultures. That food related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945 , government r esearchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meat s, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the pack aging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful.The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to be ef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated co ws. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order t o obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (F DA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.48. What is the main topic of the passage?A. Food and our health B Food and additivesC. Food and cancer D Food and culture49 All of the following statements are true EXCEPT_______.A Forty percent of cancer is caused by problems related to food.B Researchers have known about the potential danger of food additives for ma ny yearsC. We eat some of the food additives directly and some indirectlyD Drugs are always given to animals for medicinal purposes50. Why do farmers give drugs to their animals?A. to speed up the growth of animals B To make the animals fatterC to make the animals’ meat fit to eatD To make the animals’ meat rich in nutrients51. It can be inferred from the passage that_________.A scientist have made all the food fit to eatB only in recent years have people found that the food is related to one’s illnes sC all kinds of cancer are related to the dietD some additives are harmful to our health52.

Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each question, there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 33 to 37 are based on the following passage.When two people are talking to each other, they tend to stand a specific distance apart. Each person has an invisible boundary around their body into which other people may not come. If someone goes beyond this boundary, they will feel uncomfortable and move away to increase the distance between them. (The major exception is family members and other loved ones.) This personal distance is not due to unpleasant body smell or bad breath, but because closeness lends a sense of intimacy (亲密) that is in disagreement with their relationship to the other individual. Interestingly, the average personal distance varies from culture to culture. Americans tend to require more personal space than people in other cultures. So if you try to get too close to an American during your conversation, he or she will feel that you are "in their face" and will try to back away. Try to be aware of this; so if the person to whom you are speaking backs away a little, don't try to close the gap.Also, try to avoid physical contact while you are speaking, since this may also lead to discomfort. Touching is a bit too intimate for nodding acquaintances (相识的人). So don't put your arm around their shoulder, touch their face, or hold their hand. Shaking hands when you initially meet or part is acceptable, but this is only momentary.33. When two people talk to each other theyA) always stand as close to each other as possibleB) usually keep a certain distance between themC) pay no attention to the distance between themD) feel more comfortable if they are close enough34. Which of the following statements' is TRUE according to the passage?A) There is an invisible distance between two speakers.B) Speakers keep a specific distance for the sake of their health.C) Speakers keep a space between them because of their bad breath.'D) Personal space isn't important when family members talk to each other.35. According to the author, during a conversationA) personal distance may differ indifferent culturesB) eastern people require more personal space than western peopleC) western people require more personal space .than eastern peopleD) both sides feel more comfortable if they keep as close as possible36. In a conversation with a nodding acquaintance, you'd betterA) not shake hands with him C) not touch himB) touch him gently first D) contact .him physically37. The best title for the passage can beA) A Sense of Intimacy in CommunicationB) An Invisible Boundary in ConversationC) Different Cultures in CommunicationD) Personal Space in ConversationPassage TwoQuestions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage.Last year I purchased a game for my boys and I played it with them. The trouble was that everyone Won the game. We all arrived at the end together. This seems great in theory, but where's the incentive (刺激) to keep playing? We played the game twice, and it has been there gathering dust ever since.Without a potential winner, a game or contest loses its excitement. If there's nothing to compete for, the drive to do one's best is replaced by a "What's the point" attitude. Competition is closely related to motivation (动力). It's part of human nature to be competitive; after all, survival of the fittest is the basis of evolution. A competitive spirit is the key to our success as adults, so why shouldn't we cultivate it in our children?I'm not suggesting we set our children against each other in heated competitions in all aspects of life. We should guard against coaches who lose the spirit of good sportsmanship (运动员风格) in the heat of the game. But in the right situations, a healthy competition can teach our kids a lot about life. While games and contests illustrate the importance of drive and determination, they also teach our children how to lose. And with that comes other good lessons -- about learning from mistakes, searching for ways to improve and finding the will to try again.38. We can learn from the first paragraph that the game bought by the authorA) proved to be unchallenging C) caused trouble for childrenB) gathered dust very easily D) was played with lots of fun39. The second paragraph mainly tells us that __A) there is a potential winner in all gamesC) humans are competitive by natureB) only adults have a competitive spiritD) only children have a competitive spirit40. The word "drive" (Line2, Paragraph 2) is close in meaning toA) strength B) energy C) ability D) spirit41. According to the author, in a game or contest children should be encouragedA) to obey their coaches strictly C) to develop a competitive spiritB) to compete in all aspects of life D) to compete for nothing but a prize42. What is important for a loser in the game?A) Competition. C) Survival.B) Self-determination. D) Self-improvement.Passage ThreeQuestions 43 to 47 are based on the following passage.Shortly after Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution, a lady was asked what she thought of the idea that humans and animals came down from a common ancestor (祖先). "Let us hope it is not true," she said. "And, if it is true, let us hope it does not become public knowledge."This story is probably untrue, but it illustrates well the attitudes of the time. Today, we are more comfortable with our past. Many people accept Darwin' s view of how we came into being - that our bodies' evolved through the process of natural selection acting on our genes.However, Darwin believed evolution was responsible for far more than just our physical characteristics. He saw it as the major influence in shaping our psychology. Indeed, he predicted that "in the distant future, psychology will be based on a new foundation." This foundation was, of course, his theory of evolution.To those in favor of concepts like free will and personal responsibility, such an idea seems quite stupid. But a growing number of scientists are questioning the extent to which our behavior is controlled by our culture. Their research has revealed increasing evidence that the human mind is made up of natural mechanisms (if; h-g,), which control everything from the way we perceive (感知) time and space, to how we learn survival techniques and choose mates.43. The story about the lady suggests that, in Darwin's time, the theory of evolution made many people feelA) embarrassed B) delighted C) comfortable D) miserable44. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?A) People's attitudes towards Darwin's view remain unchanged.B) Darwin's view of man's origin has been widely accepted.C) Natural selection has no effect on our genes.D) The story about the lady has proved to be true.45. The phrase "was responsible for" in Line 1, Paragraph 3 most probably means“ “A) had the ability to influence C) was to blame forB) had the duty of D) was the cause of46. According to Darwin's view, our psychologyA) will change greatly in the futureB) has nothing to do with evolutionC) is mainly shaped by evolutionD) is shaped by our physical characteristics47. If Darwin's view on our psychology is correct, what controls our behavior?A) The characteristics of our culture.B) The mechanisms of our mind.C) The way we perceive time and space.D) The way we live and choose mates.Passage FourQuestions 48 to 52 are based on the following passage.November 7, 2000 is a very special day in the United States. Voters all across the nation are electing representatives in local and national races. Some people think they are voting for the president of our country too. They're not! Again, they're voting for representatives, who are called electors.In most states the electors are chosen on a winner-take-all basis. That makes it possible for one candidate to win the most electors while getting less popular votes nationally than his opponent. The electors will meet in their respective states and cast their votes for the president and the vice-president on December 18, 2000. The Constitution (宪法) does not force the electors to vote for the candidates that they promise to vote for, but they almost always do. On January 6, 2001, just two weeks before the new president and vice-president take office, the votes will be counted in the Congress.If no one gets a majority of the electoral votes, at least 270 out of 538, the winners will be chosen by the Congress. The House of Representatives will choose (one vote per state) the president and the Senate (参议院) will choose the vice-president. It's not likely, but we could actually end up with a president from one party and a vice-president from another.48. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph'?.A) Electors are representatives of local and national races.B) Local voters are usually referred to as electors.C) Electors are chosen by representatives for each state.D) Local voters have the right to choose the US president directly.49. What should the electors doA) Promise to vote for popular candidates.B) Vote for the candidates they promise to.C) Gather in the Congress to vote for the president.D) Vote for the president in their respective states.50. A candidate will become the U.S. president if he getsA) about half of the electoral votesB) over half of the electoral votesC) most of the electoral votes from the same partyD) most of the electoral votes from two parties51. The new president will take office after the voting starts.A) in about two weeks C) in about two and a half monthsB) in about two months D) in about half a year52. The main idea of the passage is __ the US president is elected.A) how B) why C) where D) whenPart IV: Translation from English into Chinese (10%) (15 minutes)Directions: In this part, there are four items which you should translate into Chinese, each item consisting of one sentence.

四川省英语三级（阅读理解）历年真题试卷汇编2(题后含答案及解析)题型有： 3. Reading ComprehensionReading ComprehensionLast October,Todd Brill was talking to his mother in the dining room of their home, which overlooks the St. Joseph River.Through the window he saw a truck sail over the side of the bridge and fall into the water. Brill shouted to his mother to call for an ambulance (救护车). Before she could ask why, he was running out the door. Without hesitating, he dived into the cold river and swam to the truck. He went under and tried to open the driver’s door, but it could not move. He surfaced for air and again went under; this time he got the back door open. Water filled the truck, and it sank completely. On his third dive,Todd pulled the 19-year-old Paulette Whitmer to the river bank.Todd had to shake her to get her to say if there was anyone else in the truck. Yes, her mother. Shelia Whitmer, 45, had been trying to teach her daughter to drive the truck when Paulette ran into a sign near the bridge. Instead of stopping the truck, she had panicked(惊慌), and lost control. AgainTodd swam the 30 feet and began diving. He swam to the passenger-side door, which he got open after what seemed a lifetime.Todd pulled the unconscious Shelia, whose face was bloody and bruised (淤伤), to the riverside. Both women, who were being treated at a hospital, would have died if it had not been for Brill’s quick response.1．WhenTodd was talking to his mother, he saw through the windows a truck _____.A．racing by the riversideB．run into a sign near the bridgeC．floating on the riverD．drop into the river正确答案：D2．After Paulette Whitmer was pulled out of the water, _____.A．she askedTodd to rescue her motherB．she was shaking with coldC．her mother was still in the truckD．her mother said thanks toTodd正确答案：C3．It seemed a long time forTodd to open the passenger-side door on his _____.A．fourth diveB．third diveC．second diveD．first dive正确答案：A4．What caused the accident?A．Paulette Whitmer got panicked.B．There was a sign near the bridge.C．Shelia lost control of the truck.D．The truck could not function properly.正确答案：A5．From the passage, we know that the rescue was ______.A．hesitantB．timelyC．well-plannedD．poorly carried out正确答案：B“Throw it away?There is no way,” scientists warn us so. What that means, of course, is that as we produce more and more waste, safe places to deposit it are becoming fewer and fewer. An important change in responding to the problems of waste and its disposal in modern society is the development of techniques for recycling materials that have been thrown away. Moreover, oil for plastics, trees for paper, and coal and oil to make heat for glass and metal production are also becoming harder to find and more expensive. One solution that can help solve problems of both supply and disposal is recycling, or using the same material more than once. Some governments are requiring more recycling. Japan already recycles about 50 percent of its household trash.The German government now has a very strict law requiring that most plastics and metal be recycled. Under the new law, automobile manufactures must buy a car back when it is no longer useful.The car must then be separated into materials that can be recycled—metals, plastics, glass, and so on. This law has made automobile manufacturers think more carefully about the kinds of materials that go into automobiles and how those materials are used. Recycling is a new way of looking at our use of the earth’s resources.6．According to scientists, we will _____.A．not be able to find places for our wasteB．have fewer safe places for our wasteC．produce more waste to be recycledD．find more safe places to place our waste正确答案：B7．To solve the problems of both supply and disposal, we should ____.A．raise the price of natural materialsB．reduce glass and metal productionC．produce more and more materialsD．reuse the materials that have been used正确答案：D8．In Germany, if your car is no longer useful, you _____.A．can send it to the government for recyclingB．must separate it into metals, plastics, glass, etc.C．can’t buy a new car unless you recycle your old oneD．can sell it back to the automobile manufacturer正确答案：D9．The purpose of the new law in Germany is ____.A．to make manufacturers use less materialsB．to force manufacturers to reuse materialsC．to urge manufacturers to produce few carsD．to make manufacturers separate used cars正确答案：B10．Which of the following is the main point of the passage?A．It is important for us to develop techniques for recycling materials.B．The earth’s resources are becoming more and more expensive.C．Recycling is a solution of the problems of supply and disposal.D．It is necessary to make law against throwing away used materials.正确答案：CWhen I was at school, our teacher told the class “you are what you eat.” My friends and I would laugh and call each other “hamburger” and “biscuits”. Our teacher was trying to show us the importance of eating right food to stay healthy. Food influences our health. We have all heard advice such as, “Milk can make you sleepy.To stop feeling sleepy you should eat peanuts,” or “garlic (大蒜) helps you not to catch a cold.”Everyone has their own advice to give, but some of these piecesof advice seem not to agree with each other. But there does seem to be proof that we are what we eat. A few decades ago, there were big companies to make British people healthier. We threw out our chip pan which we had used until then to make chips every day for dinner. We replaced our chips with boiled potatoes. At first, I felt like my potatoes had no taste at all.

With the advent of online learning platforms and digital resources, students have access to a wealth of information at their fingertips. This has not only made learning more convenient and flexible but has also expanded educational opportunities for individuals who may not have access to traditional schools or universities.However, while technology has the potential to enhance learning, it also presents challenges. One of the main concerns is the digital divide, which refers to the gap between those who have access to technology and those who do not. This divide can exacerbate existing inequalities in education and limit the opportunities available to disadvantaged students. Additionally, the reliance on technology in the classroom can lead to a decrease in face-to-face interaction between students and teachers, potentially impacting social and emotional development.Despite these challenges, it is clear that technology will continue to play a significant role in education. As educators and policymakers strive to harness the potential of technology while addressing its limitations, it is essential to prioritize equal access to technology and promote a balanced approach to integrating technology into the learning environment.1) What is one of the main concerns associated with technology in education?A. The impact of technology on social and emotional developmentB. The digital divide between those with access to technology and those withoutC. The convenience and flexibility of online learning platformsD. The limitations of digital resources in the classroom2) How has technology impacted educational opportunities?A.

By exacerbating existing inequalities in education3) What should educators and policymakers prioritize when integrating technology into the learning environment?A. Promoting equal access to technologyB. Limiting the use of digital resources in the classroomC. Decreasing face-to-face interaction between students and teachersD. Ignoring the potential of technology in educationPart III: WritingWrite an essay discussing the impact of technology on education. In your essay, address the following points:- How has technology revolutionized the way we learn?- What are some of the benefits and challenges of technology in education?- How can educators and policymakers address the digital divide and promote equal access to technology?- What role will technology play in the future of education?You should write at least 300 words for this essay.请注意：以上内容为虚构，如有雷同，纯属巧合。

四川省英语三级模拟试卷2(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1.3 billion people. With an annual growth rate of 3.7 percent, China’s population aged 80 or above will reach 22 million by 2020. and 83 million by 2050, according to Ma, a deputy (代表) to the 11th National People’s Congress (NPC). In contrast to developed countries, China entered the aged society while it is still a developing country. “China is not yet ready for the aged society. It does not have a complete old-aged social security system.There are not enough resources. Fiscal (财政) support is scarce. And the risk is ever rising,” said Ma. The lawmaker said China must act now to set up an old-age social security system that covers both rural and urban population. Such a system should be based on the care of the old people by their families, backed-up by community-level services networks and with old folks homes as a supplement, he said.

Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each question, there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneQuestions 33 to 37 are based on the following passage.When two people are talking to each other, they tend to stand a specific distance apart. Each person has an invisible boundary around their body into which other people may not come. If someone goes beyond this boundary, they will feel uncomfortable and move away to increase the distance between them. (The major exception is family members and other loved ones.) This personal distance is not due to unpleasant body smell or bad breath, but because closeness lends a sense of intimacy (亲密) that is in disagreement with their relationship to the other individual. Interestingly, the average personal distance varies from culture to culture. Americans tend to require more personal space than people in other cultures. So if you try to get too close to an American during your conversation, he or she will feel that you are "in their face" and will try to back away. Try to be aware of this; so if the person to whom you are speaking backs away a little, don't try to close the gap.Also, try to avoid physical contact while you are speaking, since this may also lead to discomfort. Touching is a bit too intimate for nodding acquaintances (相识的人). So don't put your arm around their shoulder, touch their face, or hold their hand. Shaking hands when you initially meet or part is acceptable, but this is only momentary.33. When two people talk to each other theyA) always stand as close to each other as possibleB) usually keep a certain distance between themC) pay no attention to the distance between themD) feel more comfortable if they are close enough34. Which of the following statements' is TRUE according to the passage?A) There is an invisible distance between two speakers.B) Speakers keep a specific distance for the sake of their health.C) Speakers keep a space between them because of their bad breath.'D) Personal space isn't important when family members talk to each other.35. According to the author, during a conversationA) personal distance may differ indifferent culturesB) eastern people require more personal space than western peopleC) western people require more personal space .than eastern peopleD) both sides feel more comfortable if they keep as close as possible36. In a conversation with a nodding acquaintance, you'd betterA) not shake hands with him C) not touch himB) touch him gently first D) contact .him physically37. The best title for the passage can beA) A Sense of Intimacy in CommunicationB) An Invisible Boundary in ConversationC) Different Cultures in CommunicationD) Personal Space in ConversationPassage TwoQuestions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage.Last year I purchased a game for my boys and I played it with them. The trouble was that everyone Won the game. We all arrived at the end together. This seems great in theory, but where's the incentive (刺激) to keep playing? We played the game twice, and it has been there gathering dust ever since.Without a potential winner, a game or contest loses its excitement. If there's nothing to compete for, the drive to do one's best is replaced by a "What's the point" attitude. Competition is closely related to motivation (动力). It's part of human nature to be competitive; after all, survival of the fittest is the basis of evolution. A competitive spirit is the key to our success as adults, so why shouldn't we cultivate it in our children?I'm not suggesting we set our children against each other in heated competitions in all aspects of life. We should guard against coaches who lose the spirit of good sportsmanship (运动员风格) in the heat of the game. But in the right situations, a healthy competition can teach our kids a lot about life. While games and contests illustrate the importance of drive and determination, they also teach our children how to lose. And with that comes other good lessons -- about learning from mistakes, searching for ways to improve and finding the will to try again.38. We can learn from the first paragraph that the game bought by the authorA) proved to be unchallenging C) caused trouble for childrenB) gathered dust very easily D) was played with lots of fun39. The second paragraph mainly tells us that __A) there is a potential winner in all gamesC) humans are competitive by natureB) only adults have a competitive spiritD) only children have a competitive spirit40. The word "drive" (Line2, Paragraph 2) is close in meaning toA) strength B) energy C) ability D) spirit41. According to the author, in a game or contest children should be encouragedA) to obey their coaches strictly C) to develop a competitive spiritB) to compete in all aspects of life D) to compete for nothing but a prize42. What is important for a loser in the game?A) Competition. C) Survival.B) Self-determination. D) Self-improvement.Passage ThreeQuestions 43 to 47 are based on the following passage.Shortly after Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution, a lady was asked what she thought of the idea that humans and animals came down from a common ancestor (祖先). "Let us hope it is not true," she said. "And, if it is true, let us hope it does not become public knowledge."This story is probably untrue, but it illustrates well the attitudes of the time. Today, we are more comfortable with our past. Many people accept Darwin' s view of how we came into being - that our bodies' evolved through the process of natural selection acting on our genes.However, Darwin believed evolution was responsible for far more than just our physical characteristics. He saw it as the major influence in shaping our psychology. Indeed, he predicted that "in the distant future, psychology will be based on a new foundation." This foundation was, of course, his theory of evolution.To those in favor of concepts like free will and personal responsibility, such an idea seems quite stupid. But a growing number of scientists are questioning the extent to which our behavior is controlled by our culture. Their research has revealed increasing evidence that the human mind is made up of natural mechanisms (if; h-g,), which control everything from the way we perceive (感知) time and space, to how we learn survival techniques and choose mates.43. The story about the lady suggests that, in Darwin's time, the theory of evolution made many people feelA) embarrassed B) delighted C) comfortable D) miserable44. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?A) People's attitudes towards Darwin's view remain unchanged.B) Darwin's view of man's origin has been widely accepted.C) Natural selection has no effect on our genes.D) The story about the lady has proved to be true.45. The phrase "was responsible for" in Line 1, Paragraph 3 most probably means“ “A) had the ability to influence C) was to blame forB) had the duty of D) was the cause of46. According to Darwin's view, our psychologyA) will change greatly in the futureB) has nothing to do with evolutionC) is mainly shaped by evolutionD) is shaped by our physical characteristics47. If Darwin's view on our psychology is correct, what controls our behavior?A) The characteristics of our culture.B) The mechanisms of our mind.C) The way we perceive time and space.D) The way we live and choose mates.Passage FourQuestions 48 to 52 are based on the following passage.November 7, 2000 is a very special day in the United States. Voters all across the nation are electing representatives in local and national races. Some people think they are voting for the president of our country too. They're not! Again, they're voting for representatives, who are called electors.In most states the electors are chosen on a winner-take-all basis. That makes it possible for one candidate to win the most electors while getting less popular votes nationally than his opponent. The electors will meet in their respective states and cast their votes for the president and the vice-president on December 18, 2000. The Constitution (宪法) does not force the electors to vote for the candidates that they promise to vote for, but they almost always do. On January 6, 2001, just two weeks before the new president and vice-president take office, the votes will be counted in the Congress.If no one gets a majority of the electoral votes, at least 270 out of 538, the winners will be chosen by the Congress. The House of Representatives will choose (one vote per state) the president and the Senate (参议院) will choose the vice-president. It's not likely, but we could actually end up with a president from one party and a vice-president from another.48. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph'?.A) Electors are representatives of local and national races.B) Local voters are usually referred to as electors.C) Electors are chosen by representatives for each state.D) Local voters have the right to choose the US president directly.49. What should the electors doA) Promise to vote for popular candidates.B) Vote for the candidates they promise to.C) Gather in the Congress to vote for the president.D) Vote for the president in their respective states.50. A candidate will become the U.S. president if he getsA) about half of the electoral votesB) over half of the electoral votesC) most of the electoral votes from the same partyD) most of the electoral votes from two parties51. The new president will take office after the voting starts.A) in about two weeks C) in about two and a half monthsB) in about two months D) in about half a year52. The main idea of the passage is __ the US president is elected.A) how B) why C) where D) whenPart IV: Translation from English into Chinese (10%) (15 minutes)Directions: In this part, there are four items which you should translate into Chinese, each item consisting of one sentence.

Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. Fro each question, there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should chose the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 33 to 37 are based on the following passage:In the past, operations were difficult. Until the middle of the eighteen fifties, surgery was very dangerous. Many patients died after even the smallest operations. This was because bacteria entered the cuts in the patients’ bodied and started infection. In some countries, up to 90 percent of patients died from infection after operations. In 1865, however, Joseph Lister, a British surgeon, found an answer to the problem. He used an “antiseptic” during and after operations. This killed the dangerous bacteria and most of his patients lived. Since then, surgeons have used antiseptics in all operations.Surgery has developed in many important ways since the day of Joseph Lister. Today, when patients go to hospital for an operation, they can expect the best treatment, in clean and hygienic conditions.33. Operations were difficult and dangerous until_______.A.1850B. the middle of 1850C. the middle of the fifties of the eighteenth centuryD. the middle of the fifties of the nineteenth century34.

Joseph Lister was________.A. a FrenchmanB. a GermanC. an EnglishmanD. an AmericanPassage 2Questions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage:Some 4000 Americans ambitions to become physicians are studying for their M. D. s abroad. Many were rejected by U.S. medical schools simply because there was no room. Last year, for example, some 13,000 of 35,000 would-be physicians who applied to U.S. schools were accepted. Of those who were turned down, well over 600 are trying the foreign route.But gaining admittance to a good foreign school may be a problem. British medical schools give priority to Britons , and Canada’s world-renowned McGill University School of Medicine takes only a handful of well qualified Americans annually. But several schools do welcome U.S. medical students---if they can master the local language. More than 500 Americans are enrolled in the Belgian universities at Brussels and Louvain , for example. Some 800 attend the Italian University at Bologna; 175 at Rome. Mexi co’s Autonomous University of Guadalajara numbers 1,300 gringos among its 4,000 students.Despite difficulties abroad, many Americans complete their medical educations, and manage to win the respect of their professors and classmates. One second-year student at Louvain has a simple explanation for those successes: “ Anyone who comes here to be motivated. You have to learn a new language, the school is constant hard work, and it’s difficult to get back into the States to practice”.Before they can intern or practice in the United States, graduates of foreign schools must pass a special examination required by medical-education authorities. The tough test is designed primarily to weed out those who are unable to speak English or whose medical education is not up to U.S. standards.38. Which of the following is true about U.S. would-be physicians?A. America medical schools have superfluous applicantsB. language is a big problem all the American students applying to foreign medical schools have to face.C. Graduates from both American and foreign medical schools should take the same test before practiceD. As many as one-third of last year’s applicants of medical schools are now applying to foreign schools39. Which is following is true about foreign medical education ?A. A lot of foreign medical schools do not welcome U.S. students simply because they have to consider the applicants form their own countries first.B. To enter foreign medical schools is much easier than to gain admittance into American medical schools if the problem of language is not regarded.C. There are not many good foreign medical schools according to American studentsD. There are so many difficulties in studying abroad that not many American students become successful in foreign medical schools40. Which of the following is one of the difficulties the American students at foreign, medical schools have to face.A. Living and medical conditions in foreign countries are not so good as those in America.B. There is racial discrimination against them.C. They are given no opportunities to practice at local places.D. They are treated the same as foreign physicians and medical school graduates when trying to go back to America to practice.41. What does the word “gringos” mean?A. Americans.B. ForeignersC. Americans in MexicoD. Mexicans42. Which of the following can be the title of this passage?A. Foreign Medical Schools.B. Life at Foreign Medical SchoolsC. The tough Foreign Route.D. American Would-be Physicians at Foreign Schools.Passage 3Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage :Summers with father were always enjoyable. Swimming , hiking , boating , fishing—the days were not long enough to contain all of our activities. There never seemed to be enough time to go to church, which disturbed some friends and relations. Accused of neglecting this part of our education, my father instituted a summer school for my brother and me . However, his summer course included ancient history, which Papa felt our schools neglected ,and navigation, in which we first had a formal examination in the dining room, part of which consisted of tying several knots in a given time limit. Then we were each separately sent on what was grandly referred to as a cruise in my father’s 18-foot knockabout, spending the night on board, and loaded down, according to my mother, with enough food for a week. I remember that on my cruise I was required to formally plot our course, using the tide table, even though our goal was an island I could see quite clearly across the water in the distance.43. What was the original reasons for holding the summer school?A. Friends and relatives thought the children should learn religionB The father wanted the children to learn more about religionC. The children got poor grades in their regular schoolD. The regular school teachers neglected the children44 The purpose of the cruise mentioned in the passage was to ________.A. have funB. test the author’s sailing abilityC. reward the author for completing summer schoolD. get to the island45. Why did the author have to plot the course of her cruise ?A. She had to demostrate her ability to do so.B. The coast was dangerous.C She was afraid of getting lost. D. The tides were strong46. How long did the author’s crui se last?A. all summerB. overnightC. a weekD. one day, morning till night47 Apparently a knockabout is _______.A. an island B a boat C a cruise D a seaman’s knotPassage 4Questions 48 to 52 are based on the following passage:The food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps in making food more fit to eat, it has , at the same time, mademany foods unfit to eat. Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well, especially cancer of the colon . Different cultures are more prone to contract certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures. That food related to illness is not a new discovery. In 1945 , government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites, commonly used to preserve color in meats, and other food additives, caused cancer. Yet, these carcinogenic additives remain in our food, and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful.The additives which we eat are not all so direct. Farmers often give penicillin to beef and poultry, and because of this, penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows. Sometimes similar drugs are administered to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons. The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has tried repeatedly to control these procedures, the practices continue.48. What is the main topic of the passage?A. Food and our health B Food and additivesC. Food and cancer D Food and culture49 All of the following statements are true EXCEPT_______.A Forty percent of cancer is caused by problems related to food.B Researchers have known about the potential danger of food additives for many yearsC. We eat some of the food additives directly and some indirectlyD Drugs are always given to animals for medicinal purposes50. Why do farmers give drugs to their animals?A. to speed up the growth of animals B To make the animals fatterC to make the animals’ meat fit to eatD To make the animals’ meat rich in nutrients51. It can be inferred from the passage that_________.A scientist have made all the food fit to eatB only in recent years have people found that the food is related to one’s illnessC all kinds of cancer are related to the dietD some additives are harmful to our health52. The word “ this” in the second sentence of p aragraph 2 most probably refers to __________.A farmerB penicillinC beef and poultryD the fact that farmers often give penicillin to a beefPart IV: Translation from English into Chinese (10%)Directions: In this part, there are four items which you should translate into Chinese, each item consisting of one sentence.
