Reading comprehension: 40%Passage 1In order to learn to be one’s true self, it is necessary to obtain a wide and extensive knowledge of what has been said and done in the world; critically to inquire into it; carefully to consider it; clearly to analyze it; and earnestly to carry it out.It matters not what you learn, but when you once learn a thing, you must never give it up until you have mastered it. It matters not what you inquire into, but when you once inquire into a thing, you must never give it up until you have thoroughly understood it. It matters not what you try to think of, but when you once try to think of a thing, you must never give it up until you have got what you want. It matters not what you try to carry out, but when you once try to carry out a thing, you must never give it up until you have done it thoroughly and well.If another man succeeds by one effort, you will use a hundred efforts. If another man succeeds by ten efforts, you will use a thousand.41. According to the author, first of all one must ___________.A. analyzeB. inquireC. obtain knowledgeD. act42. When you try to do something, what matters is ___________.A. not to care too much about itB. to act immediatelyC. to think carefully before you do itD. to carry it through to the end43.

According to the author, another man’s success should _____________.A. spur us on to greater effortsB. not be taken into considerationC. make us nervousD. cause one to stop trying45. The author implies but does not say that ____________.A. the way to knowledge is through specializationB. one has to know everything to be successfulC. success depends not so much on natural ability as it does on effortD. success in one’s profession is least important in one’s lifePassage 2Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that’s not what I did.I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts university that doesn’t even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noblereasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren’t studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice. They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering “factories” where they didn’t care if you had values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer: technical genius and sensitive humanist (人文学者) all in one.Now I am not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile (协调) engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply don’t mix as easily as I assumed in high school. Individually they shape a person in very different ways; together they threaten to confuse, the struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.46. The author chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts university because he _______.A. wanted to be an example of practicality and rationalityB. intended to be a combination of engineer and humanistC. wanted to coordinate engineering with liberal-arts courses in collegeD. intended to be a sensible student with noble ideals47. According to the author, by interacting with people who study liberal arts, engineering students can __________.A. balance engineering and the liberal-artsB. receive guidance in their careersC. become noble idealistsD. broaden their horizons48. In the eyes of the author, a successful engineering student is expected __________.A. to have an excellent academic recordB. to be wise an matureC. to be imaginative with a value system to guide himD. to be a technical genius with a wide vision49. The author’s experience shows that he was ___________.A. creativeB. ambitiousC. unrealisticD. irrational50. The word “they” in “… together they threaten to confuse.” (para 5) refers to ____________.A. engineering and the liberal artsB. reality and noble idealsC. flexibility and a value systemD. practicality and rationalityPassage 3The making of glass is a very old industry –at least 4500 years old. Glass has many extraordinary qualities and it is frequently being used in new ways.One of the most interesting new uses for glass is in telephone communication. Scientists have developed glass fibres as thin as human hair which are designed to carry light signals. When the light reaches the other end, it is first changed into electrical signals, which are in turn converted into sound messages.Called light-wave communication, the new system was used successfully in an experiment in Chicago in 1977. During the experiment, two glass fibres were able to carry 672 conversations atthe same time. The light-wave cable, containing 144 glass fibres, has the capacity to carry 50,000 conversations at the same time.The light-wave communication system has two important advantages. First, the glass fibre cables are smaller and weigh less than copper cables. Second, they cost less.51. Perhaps it can be said that telephone communication has entered the age of light!A. sound signalsB. light signalsC. electrical signalsD. any signal52. Before you can hear a message on the telephone using the new system, _______________.A. electrical signals must first be changed into light signals and then into soundB. the light signals have to be changed directly into sound messagesC. light must first be changed into electrical signals and then into soundD. either the light or the electrical signals have to be changed into sound messages53. Which of the following is not included in the passage?A. Glass fibre cables are lighter than copper ones.B. Glass fibre cables are used to carry light waves.C. Light-wave communication has been for civil use of about 30 years.D. Glass is a favorable material for telephone communication.54. From the passage, you can tell that people prefer glass fibre cables to copper cables because ____________.A. glass fibres are less expensiveB. glass fibres deliver messages directlyC. glass fibres are more up to dateD. glass fibres are easier to make55. Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?A. Glass is very useful because it has many unusual qualities.B. Light signals have changed the use of glass in industry.C. Glass fibres have reduced the cost of telephone communication.D. The use of glass fibres to carry telephone message is an interesting new development. Passage 4If it were only necessary to decide whether to teach elementary science to everyone on a mass basis or to find the rifled few and take them as far as they can go, our task would be fairly simple. The public school system, however, has no such choice, for the job must be carried on at the same time. Because we depend so heavily upon science and technology for our progress, we must produce specialists in many fields. Because we live in a democratic nation, whose citizens make the policies for the nation, large numbers of us must be educated to understand , to support, and when necessary, to judge the work of experts. The public school must educate both producers and users of scientific services.In education, there should be a good balance among the branches of knowledge that contribute to effective thinking and wise judgment. Such balance is defeated by too much emphasis on any one field. The question of balance involves not only the relation of the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the arts but also relative emphases among the natural sciences themselves. Similarly, we must have a balance between current and classical knowledge. The attention of the public is continually drawn to new possibilities in scientific fields and the discovery of new knowledge; these should not be allowed to turn our attention away from the sound, established materials that form the basis of courses for beginners.56 According to the first paragraph, the task of education is fairly complicated because ________.A. the current public school is too complicated to be understoodB. the public school system has no choice of what to teachC. it is difficult to decide whether elementary science should be taught in public schoolsD. the educators have to take care of both ordinary and gifted students57. The word “defeated” (para 2) most probably means ______________.A. brokenB. beatenC. beatenD. damaged58. Which of the following points is NOT included in the passage?A. One of the major tasks of education is to discover the most promising students.B. In order to teach effectively, educators are requested to lay emphasis on one particular field.C. Some subjects have been over-emphasized in public schools.D. The progress of the society cannot merely rely on inventors.59. It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.A. students should learn more up-to-date knowledgeB. lack of scientific knowledge will lead to poor relations between producers and users of scientific servicesC. students are getting to know the importance of a good balance among the branches of knowledgeD. sufficient attention should be given to basic knowledge60. The best title for this passage might be ___________.A. Balance in EducationB. Education System in Public SchoolC. Current Situation in EducationD. Importance of Teaching Science and TechnologyPart 3: Translate the underlined sentences in the passages above into Chinese 20%英语入学考试(B卷) 答题纸姓名考生单位________________ 得分Part 1 40%1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20.21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30.31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40.
