No one has so set a whole world laughing as the little man with the walking stick and the oversized shoes.Much has been written about Chaplin's art and his career, and opinions have ranged widely. But perhaps those who called him "the truest human being of our time" came closest to the truth. Those who have called him a genius stress the timeless and common qualities in his work. It is an art filled with sad elements and deep human feeling, with which an audience cannot help but become involved. It is for these reasons, I believe, that the figure of Charlie has attracted generation after generation.All the writers who give accounts of Chaplin's life agree that Charlie's unhappy early years in the area in London where houses were dirty and worn had a great influence on his development and on the type of films he made. Chaplin himself emphasizes it in his memoirs (回忆录). The more one reads about his earliest period, the more one tends to agree. Indeed, his suffering youth had a lasting influence on him.Chaplin was never afraid to deal with subjects causing much disagreement in his films. He gave a humorous performance on war only a few weeks before the American soldiers came home from World War I in 1918. This was regarded as madness, but the performance was well received. So perfectly did it hit the nail on the head that even the returning soldiers found it impossible to hate it and deeply appreciated this short and humorous performance on what for them had been an unpleasant reality. Chaplin gave numerous performances attacking capital governments, satirizing (讽刺) the cruelty of the machine age, and even making fun of Hitler.Years after his death, the funny films of motion picture actor and director Charlie Chaplin continue to be well loved. He is particularly well known for his success as a creator of humorous presentations that make fun of people, the establishment, or networks.71.All of the following about Charlie Chaplin are true except_________A______.A. he was born in the USAB. he was a great film actorC. he had an unhappy early lifeD. he made fun of Hitler in one of his films72.According to the author, Charlie Chaplin has been well loved bygeneration after generation because _____D_________.A. he set the whole world laughingB. his performances get people involvedC. his works appeal to people in different periodsD. both B and C73.According to the writers of Charlie Chaplin's life history, ____C________had a strong influence on the type of films he made.A. the society in which he livedB. the audience who praised and admired himC. his unhappy early years in the poor area in LondonD. those who called him a genius74.According to the passage, which of the following is true? DA. There are timeless qualities in Chaplin's work because he didn't involve himself in political affairs.B. Chaplin became well loved years after his death.C. Chaplin's performance is funny without any sad elements.D. Chaplin's films are the combinations of funny and sad elements.75.This passage was _______B_____.A. written by Charlie ChaplinB. written about Charlie ChaplinC. advertising one of Charlie Chaplin's filmsD. written for students to learn film-makingQuestions 76 to 80 are based on the same passage or dialog.Television carries more national advertising than any other medium in the United States. The same is true in some smaller countries such as Spain and Portugal, where it is the only medium reaching a general national audience. In many countries, (Sweden and Denmark, for example) the state-owned television accepts no advertising. In many other countries the amount of commercial (商业广告) time is very much limited, as in France, Germany, and Italy. Russian state-owned television began accepting a limited amount of advertising in 1988.The chief reason that television is so well liked among United States advertisers is that it reaches a vast number of people at the same time. While it can cost well over 100,000 dollars, a 30-second commercial on network television can be seen and heard by as many as 25 million viewers. For companies that must make prospects aware of their products and convince them of their benefits immediately, there is nothing as efficient as television advertising.Because it employs motion as well as words, pictures, sounds, and music, television is a valuable medium for products that lend themselves to demonstration. No other medium is as effective in showing how quickly an automobile can move or how well a certain type of wristwatch will stand up under heavy use and continue to run. In the same way, it is an ideal medium for showing how some products can make a person feel better about him- or herself, such as long-distance telephone calls.76.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? CA. There is less advertising on TV in Spain than in Sweden.B. One can never see any commercial on TV in Denmark since it is not accepted at all.C. The amount of commercial time is very much limited in most European countries.D. French people don't have to worry about being troubled bycommercials.77.According to the passage, what is the main reason United Statesadvertisers like television so much?CA. It communicates information more quickly.B. Every household has at least one TV set.C. It communicates information to a vast number of people at the sametime.D. American people love watching TV more than reading.78.The word prospects in the 2nd paragraph means ____A_________.A. potential customersB. competitorsC. working staff at TV stationsD. partners79.Which of the following is employed in TV advertising? DA. MotionB. Sounds and music.C. PicturesD. All of the above.80.Which of the following statements is true? BA. Television is as efficient as newspaper in demonstration benefits of acertain product or service.B. Television is a valuable medium in demonstrating benefits of a certainproduct or service.C. TV commercials can hardly help to communicate feelings.D. People use advertising on TV whenever necessary because of itseffectiveness.Questions 81 to 85 are based on the same passage or dialog.Failure to take time to plan and prepare is one of the major mistakes committed by sales negotiators (谈判). Related to this is weak information gathering. Neither your information gathering nor your planning can be effective without first engaging in negotiation with yourself or within your company, i.e., the agreements that may be necessary before negotiation with the customer.Once your face-to-face negotiating begins, any number of factors can influence the result. Going forth with a rigid mind-set (心态), giving concessions (让步) too early, answering too quickly to each demand, not calling time-out, and not putting yourself into the customer's shoes, are common mistakes in many sales negotiations. Finally, not being careful during the follow-through results in a lack of success even in an effective negotiation.Let us take the case of Ted Jeffries, a newly appointed sales representative for a maker of kitchen equipment. His main line is prefabricated (预制的) ovens. In addition to building additional sales with existing buyers, he is responsible for finding new buyers in some rapidly growing areas.Ted had been very effective with a previous company selling a line of building supplies to buyers by telephone. So he is not without some experience. He has some very positive selling strengths and he is doing reasonably well in closing some early sales. But he is beginning to find that some sales come at a "higher price" than others. Let's see what seems to be his problem. Ted is making his first call to long-time buyers, Lexington Kitchens. He hopes to renegotiate (重新谈判) the buying agreement with Ms. Sue Parker, manager of Lexington.81.According to the passage, what must be done before a sales negotiator(谈判者) works with his customer? DA. Information gathering.B. Planning for the negotiation with the customer.C. Visiting his customers frequently.D. Reaching an agreement within the sales network.82.Which of the following is NOT listed as one of the mistakes that a salesnegotiator tends to make? DA. Not flexible (灵活机动的) enough.B. Giving in to customers' demands too easily.C. Not being aware of the proper time to stop negotiating for the moment.D. Not leaving enough time to the other party for thinking about thepurchase.83.According to the passage, what is a sales negotiator advised to do afteran effective negotiation? BA. Prepare for the next negotiation immediately.B. Spend some time on follow-up activities.C. Hold a celebration to encourage himself.D. Call the buyer immediately to express gratitude for their purchase.84.Which of the following statements about Ted is true? AA. He is a salesperson with a fair amount of experience.B. He used to work for a maker of kitchen equipment and did his job well.C. His job is to deal with their customers.D. He is now selling building supplies to buyers.85.What might follow in Ted's story? CA. Ted will contact customers to find out some problems.B. Ted will demand all buyers sell their products at the same prices.C. Ted will negotiate with Ms. Sue Parker about the buying agreement.D. Ted will choose Lexington Kitchens as their sole buyer.KEY:1-5 DABAC 6-10 CAABD 11-15 BACDD 16-20 CACDD21-25 CCABA 26-30 BAAAB 31-35 DACBA 36-40 DDBCD41-45 ABDCA 46-50 CDCABCLOZE: (51) through (52) negative (53) superb (54) putting in (55) whereas (56) challenge (57) bear (58) patience (59) commit (60) progress (61) Come on (62) adjustment (63) competent (64) appreciate (65) let down (66) give up (67) complaining (68) furthermore (69) not to mention (70) represents71-75 ADCDB 76-80 CCADB 81-85 DDBAC。

A sliding clamp is usually loaded to the DNA polymerase to increase the polymerase processivity. The3 direction of theing strand is the same as the moving direction of the replication fork.(2)Lagging strand is discontinuously copied from the template strand. The 3 direction of the lagging strand is opposite to the moving direction of the replication fork. Primase makes RNA primers periodically after the template strand is unwound and becomes single-stranded. DNA polymerase extends each primer to synthesis short DNA fragments, called Okazaki fragments. The polymerase dissociates from the template strand when it meets the previous Okazaki fragment. Finally, RNA primers are digested by an RNase H activity, and the gaps are filled by DNA polymerase. At last, the adjacent Okazaki fragments are covalently joined together by a DNA ligase to generate a continuous, intact strand of new DNA.Termination:Type II topoisomerases separate daughter DNA molecules.8.How transcription of a RNA molecule by RNA polymerase II is initiated, elongated and terminated in eukaryotes (25’)Initiation: (11’+附加分)A.1.Promoter recognition: TBP in TFIID binds to the TATA box;(1’) TFIIA and TFIIB are recruited withTFIIB binding to the BRE;(1’)2.

The arrival of digital (数字的) time has been changing the way we act and think. I believe that it has put us to a higher level of anxiety, with greater expectations of efficiency.The old, round, hand-moved time still kept a certain connection to the natural flow of things, to the roundness of the earth, and to the changes of light and seasons. Old, round time was outside ourselves, far enough removed from us so we could ignore it if we so chose.It is not so with digital time, which is a beat. It beats instead of turning. It makes a sound like the sound of the heart and thus places itself smoothly into the body. More and more, we mistake its regular beat for our own, thus mistaking the demands of the world for our wishes.Before wrist watches, time used to live in towers in the centers of towns. At that distance, it could be seen by everybody, but only if they so wished. It took an effort, an actual visit to "time". But then something happened. Time began to live with us, and now it is beginning to live in us.I remember what it was like to be a child, absorbed in the endlessly changeable thing of time. For me there was only child time, divided meaninglessly and quite painfully by the orders of the parents into Bedtime, Wakeup Time, and School Time. But within each of those divisions (分割), Eternity still ruled. Later, of course, they managed to infect me with the anxious demands of clock time. Very soon, all that remained was the anxiety of thatwhich was exact. The fast beats of the timepiece (时钟) cut Eternity to pieces.Occasionally, I stop long enough to recall the times of childhood, but not often enough. Like everybody else, I am helpless before the new technologies. Time is a virus, and it is growing stronger.76.Digital time has changed how we act and think by ____C________________.A. allowing us to work with more efficiencyB. giving us more time to do what we likeC. causing us to be more anxiousD. having us expect more of others77.The author thinks that the old clocks _________A___________.A. are somehow linked with the seasonal changesB. stay closer to people than a digital watchC. are connected with human's handsD. work better than a wrist watch78.Before watches, clocks were located _________D_________.A. everywhere for everyone to seeB. wherever a person wishedC. on the wristD. in the center of town79.In the author's early childhood memory, ____B_____________.A. time was a concrete thingB. time seemed to have no endC. he fought against his parents' idea of timeD. he enjoyed the anxiety of precision (精确)80.The author's attitude towards time in the modern world is _____C_______.A. positiveB. unclearC. negativeD. in the middleQuestions 81 to 85 are based on the same passage or dialog.The University of London is one of Britain's largest centers for higher education, with a name for international education. Located in one of the world's most dynamic(有活力有生气的) cities, we can offer international students a wide and exciting cultural life, as well as the very best course choice and teaching. We offer our international students the ability to study and improve their command of English, to ensure they get the best from the course of their choice.International students are assured of a successful and happy time while studying at the University of London. We have a Student Service office to help you at all times, and first year students are ensured a place in halls of residence if desired. Your teacher will give you personal instruction if required. Students can enjoy themselves in the free health center at any time.As a final point, we offer religious service rooms for those of all faiths and as London is an international city, we can put students in touch with many religious groups in this area. Finally, with excellent air, rail, and road links to the rest of Britain, Europe, and the world, getting here is easy.81.The University of London is located in a city _____B_____________.A. well known for producing excellent professorsB. full of activity and energyC. where you can enjoy everything free of chargeD. that is quiet and peaceful all the time82.The University of London is famous for _________D_________.A. the largest number of studentsB. being located on the ThamesC. excellent transportationD. international education83.Whenever international students have any difficulty in life, they can go to_____C__________ for help.A. the health centerB. the hall of residenceC. the Student Service officeD. their teacher84.The university assures the first year students that ________A_________.A. they can have a place in halls of residence if they wish toB. they don't have to pay for their first-year educationC. they will all be put into some religious groupsD. they can get houses at Newcastle for a very low price85.The main purpose of this passage is to ___________C_______.A. attract more travelers to LondonB. show that the University offers religious serviceC. draw more international studentsD. show how students enjoy their studyQuestions 86 to 90 are based on the same passage or dialog.Stare at the clock.Make silly drawings.Stare at the clock again.Complain about the weather.The clock? It's still there, ticking even more slowly.No, none of this was planned for the meeting.You'd love to get your work done, but instead you spend half your day in a meeting room.Office workers spend an average of 23 hours a week in meetings, according to the Wharton Center for Applied Research in the US. And, these workers consider only 58 percent of that time useful.It doesn't have to be this way. Here are a few guidelines for you to use meetings effectively, not eat up your productivity.1) Know what you want. "Know precisely why the meeting is being held and decide realistically what you intend to accomplish," says Gayle Brickman, a US communication instructor. "If you cannot write these two things down, the meeting should not take place."2) Figure out whether a face-to-face meeting is necessary. Would a group email be enough?A couple of phone calls? These ways would probably be more efficient with fellow workers you know well.3) Pick the right times. If possible, avoid planning meetings during your most productive hours. If everyone runs to the break room for coffee at 10:30 am, that would be an excellent time to have informal staff meetings.4) Be prepared. Read the plan for what needs to be done. Study the numbers on the project you're putting forward. If there are papers to be discussed, hand them out the day before to those who will attend the meeting.5) Keep track of the time for them. Set apart a certain amount of time each week for the meetings, and keep to it.If you still find yourself caught in meeting after meeting, don't feel bad. At least your organization obviously thinks your physical presence is valuable.86. A worker who is in a meeting that he doesn't want to take part in is likely to______A_____.A. draw funny picturesB. change the clockC. check the weatherD. plan another meeting87.Office workers think that ____C_____ the time used in meetings is wasted.A. more than half ofB. almost all ofC. less than half ofD. none of88.In this passage, we are advised to follow some principles in order to _____C_____.A. learn guidelinesB. eat up productivityC. make the most of meetingsD. increase production89.To decide whether a meeting is necessary, we may ask the following questions except"_____B______".A. Can I solve the problem by email or phone call?B. Will my fellow workers like to have this meeting?C. What is the purpose of this meeting?D. What do I intend to get from the meeting?90.It is a good time to have informal staff meetings ____B_______.A. when you and your coworkers are most productiveB. when all the staff are having a coffee breakC. before you hand out the information to be discussedD. when you can keep track of the time。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer to each question.Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.When I was a kid, I read every comic book ever published. I quickly went through all of them in a couple of days, and then reread the good ones until the next issues arrived.But as I got older, my eyeballs must have slowed down! I mean comic books started to pile up faster than my brother Russell. It wasn't until much later did I realize it wasn't my eye balls that were to blame. They're still moving as well as ever. The problem is there's too much to read these days and too little time to read every word of it.Now, besides novels and newspapers, I read different kinds of books and magazines. There are hundreds of techniques you could learn to help you read faster. But I know of three that are especially good.Previewing is especially useful for getting a general idea of heavy reading, like long and hard magazine or newspaper articles. Read the entire first two paragraphs of whatever you've chosen. Next read only the first sentence of each successive paragraph. Then read the entire last paragraph. It can give you as much as half the comprehension in as little as one-tenth the time.Skimming is a good way to get a general idea of light reading, like short and simple popular magazines or the sports and entertainment sections of the newspaper. Think of your eyes as magnets. Force them to move fast. Sweep each line and pick up only a few key words in each line.Clustering trains you to look at groups of words instead of one at a time to increase your speed and comprehension enormously. It is a totally different way of seeing what we read. Here's how to cluster: Train your eyes to see all the words in clusters of up to three or four words at a glance.With enough practice, you'll be able to handle more reading at school or work – and at home – in less time. You should even have enough time to read your favorite comic books.46.What did the writer realize later regarding his slowed-down eyeballs?A. His brother had more comic books than him.B. He couldn't read as fast as his brother.C. He couldn't finish reading all the comic books.D. He had too much to read but too little time to do it.47.Why is previewing especially useful for a heavy reading?A. You can read various kinds of books such as magazines.B. You can see the whole picture of a long reading in less time.C. You can understand the content completely within a short time.D. You can comprehend at least 50% of what you're reading.48.What is the use of the technique of skimming when you are doinglight reading?A. It enables you to read some entertaining books.B. It enables you to think like magnets.C. It helps you pick up key words.D. It helps you get the information you want.49.What's the most important advantage when you do clustering?A. It helps you read faster and understand better.B. It lets you read in a totally different way.C. It allows your eyes to pick up three to four words at a time.D. It trains your eyes to see all the words in the reading.50.Which statement best expresses the main idea of this passage?A. Moving your eyes fast gives you a general idea.B. It is necessary to choose different methods for different readings.C. Different reading skills should be used at the same time.D. You may read faster by using reading techniques.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Before computers were invented, the words byte and modem did not exist, and a mouse was something that made some people scream and run away. Words are added to language every day. Changes in society also cause changes in language.Changes in attitude also affect language. As people become more sensitive to the rights and needs of individual, it becomes necessary to change the words we use to describe them. The elderly are now called senior citizens. The handicapped are described as physically challenged. Many of the words we once used had negative feelings attached to them. New words show an awareness in today's society that differences are good and that everyone deserves respect. Even the names of certain jobs have changed so that workers can be proud of what they do. The trash man is now called a sanitation worker and a doorman is an attendant. One important influence on our language in the past decade has been the changing role of women in modern society. As women entered more and more areas that were once thought of as men's job, it became necessary to change the job titles. For example, a mailman is now a mail carrier, a watchman is a guard.Sometimes new words may seem awkward and silly, such as chair for chairman, fisher for fisherman, and drafter for draftsman. But change is never easy. People often fight change until it becomes a familiar part of everyday life.Women have fought long and hard to be treated equally in language as well as in society, because they know that changes in language can cause changes in attitudes. If every person isn't referred to as he, people will begin to realize that men aren't the only ones who are important or who have made great achievements. Most words that indicate only one gender have been replaced with words that refer to both males and females. Thus, a poetess is called a poet, a waitress is a server, and mankind has become humankind.51.Words are added to language ________.A. when new things are inventedB. when society changesC. when old words disappearD. all the time52.Words are changed because ________.A. it is part of everyday life.B. the handicapped should be proud of themselves.C. many old words cause negative feelings.D. some words look silly and awkward.53. A doorman is now called ________.A. attendantB. watchmanC. trash manD. server54.Which of the following is one important influence on our language inthe past decade according to the passage?A. The changing attitude toward the elderly.B. The changing job market.C. The changing role of women.D. The changing social opinions.55.Which of the following best summarizes the passage?A. Language is always added with new vocabulary.B. Language changes with the changing of society.C. Changing language reflects the achievements of people.D. Changing language gives people more individual rights.Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.People use more than just words to communicate. In fact, some researchers claim that less than half of a spoken message's real meaning is in the words used in the message. They say that most of a message's meaning comes from understanding how the speaker uses things like tone of voice and body language.Body language includes such things as the expression on the speaker's face, gestures that speaker makes with his or her hands, and the position of the speaker's body. Just as there are many different languages spoken around the world, there are many different ways for people to use body language, too. For example, gestures may imply different meanings in different cultures. Making a "thumbs up" sign in America means, "Great!" However, in Arab cultures, this gesture is extremely offensive.Although many gestures can be interpreted differently by different cultures, there are also many gestures that are almost universally interpreted in the same way. For example, by and large, a smile is understood as a sign of friendship or good will around the world. Also, using an open hand to gesture toward something is viewed as polite or friendly in most cultures.There are also some forms of body language that can be universally read with the meaning, "I am interested in you" or "I like you." Sometimes this kind of body language is used unconsciously between two people. These signs of interest include standing or sitting with both feet flat on the ground, mirroring or using the same gestures as the other person, and turningone's body to fully face the other person.Body language experts point out one important thing. The person's culture is only one factor that can influence his or her use of body language. The time and place where the body language is being used can have a lot to do with a person's body language.

Some learners are very interested in finding out or learning grammar rules and doing lots of grammar exercises. Others hate grammar and think it is the most boring part of learning a new language. Whatever opinion you have, however, you cannot escape from grammar; it is in every sentence you read or write, speak or hear. Grammar is simply the word for the rules that people follow when they use a language. We need those rules in the same way as we need the rules in a game. If there are no rules, or if everybody follows their own rules, the game would soon break down. It's the same with language; without rules we would not be able to communicate with other people.So you cannot escape from grammar, but the key question here is: What is the best way to learn grammar? You can learn the rules of a game by simply playing the game. You will certainly make mistakes; you may even get hurt. Eventually, however, you will know how to play. Of course, the rules of a language are very much more complicated than the rules of any game, but in fact this is exactly how you learned your own language. Nobody taught you the rules of your mother tongue as you were growing up but now you never make a grammar mistake.Most people learning a new language do not have so much time and such an ideal situation. So, there is no easy answer to the question. There are just as many different opinions about teaching grammar as there are about learning grammar. Many teachers believe in the importance of grammar lessons devoted to a study of language rules and lots of practice exercises. Other teachers feel that grammar is best learned by doing different language activities without focusing so directly on the rules. Whatever your opinion about grammar and whichever is the way you are taught, you need to use different strategies to help you learn grammar more effectively.61.How is grammar defined in the passage?A. Grammar is something you cannot escape from.B. Grammar is a kind of game that requires a lot of practice.C. Grammar is a set of rules that are used in a language.D. Grammar is a strategy that consists of rules.62.According to the passage, why is learning grammar important?A. It helps you make no mistakes.B. It makes communication possible.C. It helps you not to get hurt.D. It makes playing games possible.63.In the writer's opinion, what is the best way to learn grammar?A. Playing games with a set of rules.B. Learning grammar naturally as you grow up.C. Recalling how you learned your mother tongue.D. Doing a lot of grammar exercises.64.What's the difference between teachers' opinions in the way oflearning grammar?A. More exercises vs. more activities.B. More activities vs. less exercises.C. Less exercises vs. more grammar rules.D. More exercises vs. less activities.65.What is the main idea of the passage?A. Memorizing rules is required for learning grammar.B. Doing a lot of exercises helps learn grammar.C. Playing games helps learn grammar better.D. There are different ways to learn grammar.Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage.Gender differences are also reflected in the ways that men and women use language. In junior high school, Joy's status will depend on her circle of friends. If her friends are popular, then Joy may enjoy high status at schools. For this reason, Joy and many other girls are interested in gossip, talking about other people and their private lives. If Joy has some information to share about a popular girl at school, this proves that she has a friendship with this girl. In this way Joy can use gossip to gain more status in her school.Tommy, on the other hand, may be less interested in gossip. His status doesn't depend on who his friends are at school. Tommy gains status through his own ability to play sports well or earn high grades. Later in life, Joy may continue to be interested in talking about other people and their lives. Tommy will be less interested in personal talk and more concerned with discussions of sports and news. These give him a chance to gain status by showing others his knowledge.Different ways of speaking are part of gender. As adults, men and women sometimes face difficulties in their communication with each other. Studies of communication show that if a woman tells her husband about a problem, she will expect him to listen and offer sympathy. She may be annoyed when he simply tells her how to solve the problem. Similarly, a husband may be annoyed when his wife wants to stop and ask a stranger for directions to a park or restaurant. Unlike his wife, he would rather use a map and find his way by himself.Language is also part of the different ways that men and women think about friendship. Most men believe that friendship means doing things together such as camping or playing tennis. Women, on the other hand, usually identify their best friend as someone with whom they talk frequently. Moreover, they often use tag questions to get agreement from their friends. If men and women can understand their differences, they may be able to improve their relationships.66.Why are girls interested in gossip?A. Gossip teaches them how to act.B. Gossip allows them to use commands.C. Gossip brings them high status.D. Gossip helps them know about their friends.67.What do some boys want to prove by discussing sports?A. They are knowledgeable.B.

长篇阅读10题,总分值:20分Directions:You are going to read a passage with 10 statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Raising Bilingual ChildrenA) The idea of raising bilingual (双语的) children is both appealing and possible for more and more families these days, and growing up with more than one language certainly has its advantages in today’s gl obal village. Yet bilingualism really isn’t something that simply happens. Raising kids to be successful in more than one language requires some careful planning and learning about bilingual language development.B) The reasons for choosing to raise kids with two or more languages are as varied as the families themselves. Even the word “bilingualism” has different meanings for different families. For some families, having the ability to listen in two languages but speak in just one may constitute bilingualism, while other parents expect their kids not only to be bilingual, but also literate in both languages. Whatever the goals for developing bilingualism in each family may be, success appears to depend on whether a “language plan” has been worked out in advance. Families who take the time to consider how their kids will develop two languages, and who make the necessary commitments to bilingual language development, tend to be more successful in raising bilingual children.C) If you’re thinking about bringing up your children bilingually, it’s a good idea to make your own definition of bilingualism clear. Language proficiency can be evaluated in terms of listening, speaking, reading and writing. You could also add a fifth area of speech and language, in which a person is able to use one or both languages for reasoning, to your definition of bilingualism. A person may speak only one language but have listening comprehension in two languages. Another may listen and speak in two languages but reading and writing ability in only one.D) The term balanced bilingualism is used to describe individuals who possess about the same fluency in two languages, while semilingualism refersto those who have deficiencies in both languages compared with monolinguals. These deficiencies could be in a reduced vocabulary, incorrect grammatical patterns, difficult thinking or expressing emotions in one of the languages, etc. Few people are truly balanced bilinguals in both languages in all situations. One language is usually dominant (支配的). This dominance may be different for listening and speaking or for reading and writing and usually changes over time.E) At any rate, it’s most useful to define for yourself what type of bilingualism is important and necessary in your family, within your community and culture, in order to develop a strategy for raising kids with the ability to use more than one language. Most of us are able to learn a second language at any time in our lives. And, though no critical age for bilingual language development has been found, kids do tend to develop more native-like pronunciation when bilingualism begins before adolescence. Two types of childhood bilingualism have been defined. The first is simultaneous (同步的) learning of two languages, which tends to be affected by four key factors: the parents’ ability in one or more languages, the parents’ actual use of language with the child, the language or languages other family members speak with the child, and the language the child uses in the community. The second type of childhood bilingualism is called sequential or successive bilingualism. This happens when a child has one established language before learning a second language, whether in preschool or later (the age of three usually separates simultaneous and sequential language learning). Some kids and adults, of course, usually learn a second language formally through school or language classes.F) Families who take the time to discuss their goals for language development often see their kids acquire higher levels of language skills in both languages. Parents need to talk about how bilingualism will be achieved for their children, looking at what language strategies will be used by each parent, what is being taught at school, and what areas need to be emphasized outside of school. Experts stress separating the languages to make language acquisition easier for kids. When kids are learning two languages at the same time parents need to work out language strategies that emphasize boundaries between the languages.G) Consistency is key in early language learning. If you mix languages in thesame conversation, young kids experience difficulty separating vocabulary and grammar into the appropriate language. The child may learn the “mixed” language as one language.H) Parents also need to consider how to strike a balance between the languages. If a child attends school in one language all day and has only a short time to hear the other language at home, it’s likely the school language will develop more easily than the home language. Parents have to plan for additional time spent using the home language in a variety of situations and with a variety of speakers. Rich language experiences in both languages are essential for good bilingual development.I) The quality of the language interaction is also very important. The language used shouldn’t be too complex and parents should learn to expand their child’s language as well as give encouragement and approval. Parents need to be good listeners and good language models by introducing rich vocabulary and varied conversations. Providing books, music, and even videos in both languages is also important.J) Parents should also be aware of individual difference among children. Each child learns language at his own speed. This is related to a variety of factors, such as stability and mobility of a family, relationships within the family, attitudes toward each language expressed by the parents, other family members, the school, the community and especially the child.K) Knowing two or more languages truly gives kids so many advantages in life. Bilingual kids have the advantage of knowing two cultures, of being able to communicate with a wider variety of people, and of possible economic advantages in their future. Research has even shown advantages in thinking skills among bilingual individuals. But deciding to raise bilingual kids is a decision that should be carefully considered as it affects children for the rest of their lives. Parents need to consider the child’s self-identity (个性), self-esteem, schooling options, as well as social factors when planning for bilingualism. Becoming bilingual is a special gift parents can offer their children, but the gift must be planned and presented with care for it to be well used and appreciated.1)Compared with monolingual children, bilingual children may have many advantages in their life(K)2)Raising bilingual children is not an easy job and it needs a considered planning and a deep understanding about bilingual language learning and teaching. (A)3)The term semilingualism is used to describe individuals who may have weaknesses in one of the languages. D4)Just as there are various families in the world, there are different reasons for raising bilingual children. B5)Striking a balance between the two languages is very important for those parents raising bilingual children. H6)If parents use two languages in the same conversation, their children may confuse the two languages. G7)To have a clear definition of bilingualism is a good start to raise bilingual children. C8)Effective language strategies to distinguish between two languages are very helpful for children if they are learning two languages simultaneously.(F)9)Each bilingual child learns language at different pace because of individual differences. J10)Most bilinguals are not really balanced bilinguals in both two languages in all situations.

In fact, some researchers claim that less than half of a spoken message’s real meaning is in the words used in the message. They say that most of a message’s meaning comes from understanding how the speaker uses things like tone of voice and body language.Body language includes such things as the expression on the speaker’s face, gestures that speaker makes with his or her hands, and the position of the speaker’s body. Just as there are many different languages spoken around the world, there are many different ways for people to use body language, too. For example, gestures may imply different meanings in different cultures. Making a “thumbs up” sign in America means, “Great!” However, in Arab cultures, this gesture is extremely offensive.Although many gestures can be interpreted differently by different cultures, there are also many gestures that are almost universally interpreted in the same way. For example, by and large, a smile is understood as a sign of friendship or good will around the world. Also, using an open hand to gesture toward something is viewed as polite or friendly in most cultures.There are also some forms of body language that can be universally read with the meaning, “I am interested in you” or “I like you.” Sometimes this kind of body language is used unconsciously between two people. These signs of interest include standing or sitting with both feet flat on the ground, mirroring or using the same gestures as the other person, and turning one’s body to fully face the other person.Body language experts point out one important thing. The person’s culture is only one factor that can influence his or her use of body language. The timeand place where the body language is being used can have a lot to do with a person’s body language. If the person has had a bad day or if a meeting takes place in a crowded place, the body language a person uses may be very different from under other circumstances.21)According to the passage, more than half of a s poken message’s real meaning comes from ________.A. words used in the messageB. things used in the messageC. the speaker's tone of voiceD. the speaker's tone and body language22)The second paragraph describes ________.A. an example of a gesture not used in IndiaB. different meanings of gestures in different culturesC. how gesturescan change the meaning of words D. useful gestures in Arab cultures23)If a person starts copying your body language, what does this suggest?A.

It is always much better to tell a story than read it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce what, in the actual circumstances of the time and the individual child, is an improvement on the printed text, so much the better.A charge made against fairy tales is that they harm the child by frightening him or arousing his sadistic (施虐狂的) impulses. To prove the latter, one would have to show in a controlled experiment that children who have read fairy stories were more often guilty of cruelty than those who had not. As to fear, I think, we also need well-documented cases of children being dangerously terrified (恐惧) by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition turns the pain of fear into the pleasure of a fear faced and mastered.There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that they are not objectively true, that giants, witches (女巫),two-headed dragons, magic carpets (魔毯), etc., do not exist; and that, instead of indulging (沉溺) his fantasies in fairy tales, the child should be taught how to adapt to reality by studying history and mechanics. I find such people, I must confess, so unsympathetic and peculiar that I do not know how to argue with them. If their case were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a broomstick (女巫乘骑的扫帚柄) or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their enchanted (中魔法的) girl-friend.No fairy story ever claimed to be a description of the external world and no sane (精神健全的) child has ever believed that it was.1.The author considers that a fairy story is more effective whenit is _______.A. repeated without variationB. treated with respectC. adapted by the parentD. set in the present2.Some people dislike fairy stories because they feel that they________.A. tempt people to be cruel to childrenB. show the primitive cruelty in childrenC. lend themselves to undesirable experiments with childrenD. increase a tendency to have sadistic impulses in children3.According to the passage great fear can be stimulated in achild when the story is ________.A. set in realityB. heard for the first timeC. repeated too oftenD. dramatically told4.The author's mention of broomsticks and telephones is meantto suggest that ________.A. fairy stories are still being made upB. there is confusion about different kinds of truthC. people try to modernize old fairy storiesD. there is more concern for children's fears nowadays5.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to thepassage?A. Fairy stories are anything but beneficial to the growth ofchildren.B. Fairy stories teach children the way to adapt to the society.C. No fairy story should be taken as the true description of thereality.D. No fairy story should be told to the children withoutmodification.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautious approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff. He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available—but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter.Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people—often rather frightening-looking people—and realizes that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils.6.According to the passage one of the problems for pupilsentering secondary schools is that ________.A. they are taught by many different teachersB. they do not attend lessons in every subjectC. the teachers are not so friendly and helpfulD. the teachers give most attention to a few pupils7.In secondary schools every pupil having problems should________.A. know how to ask for helpB. go to ask any teacher he can findC. discuss his problem in classD. turn to his parents for help8.It can be inferred from the passage that the author is mainlyconcerned about ________.A. academic standardsB. the role of specialist teachersC. the training of the individual teachersD. the personal development of pupils9.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. All the secondary schools know the way to encouragestudents' requests for help.B. The secondary schools are responsible for offering personaland group advice to new pupils.C. Secondary school pupils enjoy greater freedom incommunicating with teachers and fellow pupils.D. Secondary school pupils can easily get the help they need.10.The most appropriate title for the passage is ________.A. Primary School and Secondary SchoolB. Problems for New Secondary School TeachersC. Problems for New Secondary School PupilsD. Academic Work and Personal RelationshipQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage. The US military has blocked public access to nearly all its web sites after its servers were attacked by a new computer virus.Late last week, the US Space Command, which provides security for military computers, instructed all military organizations to block public access after a number of sites had contracted the virus, called the "Code Red" bug, according to an official.The virus is known as a "denial of service" bug, because it replicates (自我复制) itself by reading the data files on a network server and sending copies to other servers—thereby multiplying and sometimes crashing a system—and denying access to legitimate (合法的) users of the site."The Code Red worm did in fact show up in some DoD (Department of Defense) web sites and we're working to contain that," Command Spokesman Army Maj. Barry Venable said. "Ways we're going about that include blocking public access to the Web sites, because that's the way this worm works, to prevent it from using our networks to propagate (繁殖) itself."The virus exploits a security flaw (缺陷) in certain Microsoft network servers. The flaw was announced last month when a patch was released to fix it."To protect our DoD web sites from being compromised, DoD organizations have been told to review the status of the Internet information servers... to make sure that all the patches that were previously installed had been installed," says Venable.Only a handful of the major Defense Department sites, with the suffix ".mil," appear currently accessible to the public, including the central public affairs site DefenseLink and the military services' main homepages. Public access is blocked to information connected to those sites, and others such as the National Missile Defense site andthe US Air Force's European site. Registered Department of Defense personnel continue to have access to the sites, Venable said.11.Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. The Code Red Worm.B.

The decline in moral standards—which has long concerned social analysts—has at last captured the attention of average Americans. And Jean Bethke Elshtain, for one, is glad.The fact that ordinary citizens are now starting to think seriously about the nation's moral climate, says this ethics (伦理学) professor at the University of Chicago, is reason to hope that new ideas will come forward to improve it.But the challenge is not to be underestimated. Materialism and individualism in American society are the biggest obstacles. "The thought that 'I'm in it for me' has become deeply rooted in the national consciousness," Ms. Elshtain says.Some of this can be attributed to the decay of traditional communities, in which neighbors looked out for one another, she says. With today's greater mobility and with so many couples working, those bonds have been weakened, replaced by a greater emphasis on self.In a 1996 poll of Americans, loss of morality topped the list of the biggest problems facing the US. And Elshtain says the public is correct to sense that: Data show that Americans are struggling with problems unheard of in the 1950s, such as classroom violence and a high rate of births to unmarried mothers.The desire for a higher moral standard is not a lament (挽歌) for some nonexistent "golden age," Elshtain says, nor is it a wishful (一厢情愿的) longing for a time that denied opportunities to womenand minorities. Most people, in fact, favor a decrease in prejudice.Moral decline will not be reversed until people find ways to counter the materialism in society, she says. "Slowly, you recognize that the things that matter are those that can't be bought."16.Professor Elshtain is pleased to see that Americans ________.A. have adapted to a new set of moral standardsB. are longing for the return of the good old daysC. have realized the importance of material thingsD. are awakening to the lowering of their moral standards17.The moral decline of American society is caused mainly by________.A. its growing wealthB. the self-centeredness of individualsC. underestimating the impact of social changesD. the prejudice against women and minorities18.Which of the following characterizes the traditionalcommunities?A. Great mobility.B. Emphasis on individual effort.C. Concern for one's neighbors.D. Ever-weakening social bonds.19.In the 1950s, classroom violence ________.A. was something unheard ofB. attracted a lot of public attentionC. was by no means a rare occurrenceD. began to appear in analysts' data20.According to Elshtain, the current moral decline may bereversed ________.A. if people can return to the "golden age"B. when women and men enjoy equal rightsC. when people rid themselves of prejudiceD. if less emphasis is laid on material thingsPart 2 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) (每小题: 1 分; 满分:20 分)小题得分对错我的答案客观1. 1 C C2. 1 D D3. 1 B B4. 1 B B5. 1 C C6. 1 A A7. 1 A A8. 1 D D9. 0 C B10. 1 C C11. 1 D D12. 1 B B13. 1 C C14. 1 A A15. 1 B B16. 1 D D17. 1 B B18. 0 B C19. 1 A A20. 1 D DSubtotal: 18。

In a peaceful state park in central Texas, workers are busily 9) piecing together massive yellow pipes that spell 10) salvation for this city.

Choose the best answer to each question.Recently there has been a tendency to sympathize with thieves whose operations have been carried out on a grand scale, and no attempt whatever has been made to hold them responsible. Some of the most thievish (像窃贼的) transactions have flourished and are still flourishing. Their success and their wealth are the only things recognized. They are honoredas financiers and men of affairs, looked up to and respected.In reality they are nothing more and nothing less than a lot of merciless and heartless thieves. Fraud is fraud and cheating is cheating despite the artistic manner in which it is committed or the size of the scale upon which it is operated.It is time these men were classed properly and placed where they rightly belong, for they are no better than the miserable sneak-thief who steals a penny from a blind man’s dog.For the past two or three years working people who have made sacrifices to save a few pennies have been cheated most unmercifully. Their hard-earned savings have been stolen from them by every possible scheme from the obvious looting (打劫) of a bank to the higher and more artistic method of legalized high risk, complex financial products. Men high up in the financial world have lent their names to some of the most shady and notorious schemes that ever dishonored a community or a people. Because of this the most diligent and economical (节俭的) American people have been induced to place their hard-earned and carefully guarded savings in what they were led to believe was a safe investment, only to find out when too late that they had fallen into the hands of a gang of extremely respectable cheats. They cannot recover what they have lost.The thief is too powerful to be affected by the law while the victim is too weak to put its machinery in motion. It may be that the law is defective, or it may be that those having its machinery in charge are influenced by the wealth of the transgressors (违犯者). Whatever or whichever it is that is responsible ought to be investigated and the evil remedied.19)What does the tendency mentioned in the first paragraph reflect?A. People only respect success and wealth without any moral judgment.B. People prefer to carry out operations on a grand scale.C. People have made attempt to hold thieves responsible.D. People encourage some of the most thievish transactions to flourish.20)How did working people lose their hard-earned savings?A. They were robbed by the thieves nearby.B. They were unlucky in investment.C. They lent their money to men high up in the financial world.D. They were cheated by the bank.21)When the writer says “a gang of extremely respectable cheats” in Paragraph Four, it is implied that .A. they are respectable in artistic cheatingB. they are well-educated but ill-behavedC. they are not well-educated but respectedD. they are cheats with respectable goals22)What could be a possible reason for the thieves to escape from law according to the passage?A. They are powerful enough to ignore the law.B. There are defects in the law.C. The victim is too weak to investigate them.D. They are wealthy enough to compensate the victims.23)It can be inferred from the passage that .A. any thief should be punishedB. moral standards are always upheldC. there are too many thieves and robbersD. industrious and honest people should be highly paid参考答案:19) A 20) D 21) B 22) B 23) AThere is something grimly ridiculous as well as pathetic in the messy way we manage things in our crude attempt as civilization. While we are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars of the people’s money annually in improving the breed of pig, or in fighting cattle disease, we are neglecting the most valuable asset of all, the children of the nation. A million dollars of the people’s money can be spent upon a speedway so that rich people might have an opportunity of exercising their blooded stock, while not a penny can be found in the State appropriations (拨款) to find food for starving children.This foolish state of affairs was brought out in strong relief when the school teachers organized themselves into a relief committee to find ways and means for supplying food to the hungry children under their charge. This organization was brought about by the pitiable plight of the children, many of whom had become so weakened for lack of proper nourishment that they fainted at their desks while trying to study their lessons. The teachers have called their organization the “Children’s Relief Society,” and the day after the organization was perfected they were enabled to issue tickets to the most destitute (赤贫的) of the children which entitled them to immediate relief.Besides this effort on the part of the teachers, emergency measures for the relief of hundredsof pupils in other schools have been adopted by the committee of school board members. The newspapers reported that relief came in this case in the form of two soup kitchens which were opened and equipped so as to provide for hundreds of the starving children.Destitution has visited hundreds of families as the result of the business depression. Not only have the educational authorities taken up the matter, but various generous societies have begun active work for relieving the distress. All of which is excellent in every way, yet it is not enough; it does not go far enough, for it ought not to be left to charity, but ought to be made a State duty.24)We learn from the first paragraph that _____.A. we manage things well as civilizationB. we are rich enough to spend money freelyC. we need to care for the starving childrenD. rich people should exercise their blooded stock25)What motivated school teachers to organize the “Children’s Relief Society”?A. The distressing situation of the children.B. The improper ways of supplying food to the children.C. The charge of food unaffordable for children.D. The weak performance of children in study.26)What would the Children’s Relief Society do after its establishment?A. They would provide food directly to poor children.B. They would teach lessons to poor children for free.C. They would give poor children tickets to get food.D. They would relieve poor children’s pressure.27)What other effort for the relief of children is mentioned in the passage?A. The committee of school board members has taken emergency measures.B. People from the newspapers have built soup kitchens to provide for starving children.C. The educational authorities have set up funds to provide help.D. Generous societies have adopted hundreds of pupils in schools.28)According to the passage, who should be most responsible for the relief of children’s starvation?A. The teacher.B. Children’s Relief Society.C. Charitable societies.D. The State.参考答案:24) C 25) A 26) C 27) A 28) D。

1. What impact did the ancient Greek culture have on Western culture? Why do we say that Ancient Greece is the birthplace of Western culture?
Ancient Greek Culture exerts an exceptionally powerful influence in the Roman Empires. And Greco-roman culture constitutes one of the two sources of western civilization. It is a major source of inspiration for Renaissance and Enlightenment. Ancient Greek culture is immensely influential on the language, politics, education, philosophy, art and architecture of the modern world. It is considered to be the foundational culture of Western Civilization, for it puts forward and encourages the idea and practice of democracy, the love of freedom and reason, a strong sense of citizenship.
2.What caused the fall of the Roman Empire?
The Roman Empire collapsed for a variety of reasons, the two major factors being internal strifes and external invasions.
Inside the Empire, the rise of Christianity, which appeals to the neglected poor and the oppressed majority, gradually erodes the core values of the Ancient Greco-roman world, such as heroism, rationality and humanism. Added to this is the political confusion and decay precipitated by the division of the Empire and the long-standing struggle for control between the Emperor and the Senate, and between different factions and powerful generals.
Outside the Empire came large flows of the so called “half-civilized” yet virtually stronger Germanic Tribes. Their Sack of Rome, the cultural center of Roman Empire, in the fifth century destroys both the tangible and intangible legacies of the Roman Empire.
Others factors also contribute to the fall, such as the failing economy, constant wars, heavy military expenses, natural disasters and political corruption.。
