Each of the passages is followed by 5 questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage oneJust as Mrs. Waldman hands out the spelling test, you see Jeff pull out a small piece of paper with a lot of words on it. Jeff hides the note into his closed fist but soon takes it out again. While he’s taking the test, you see him looking back and forth between the teacher and his paper. There’s no mistaking it---he’s cheating.Cheating is when a person misleads, deceives, or acts dishonestly on purpose. For kids, cheating may happen at school, at home, or while playing a sport. If a baseball team is for kids who are 8 or younger, it’s cheating for a 9-year-old to play on the team.At school, in addition to cheating on a test, a kid might cheat by stealing someone else’s idea for a science project or by copying a book report off the internet and turning it in as if it’s his or her original work.One is inclined to cheat because it makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test---unless the person cheats again.Sometimes it may seem like cheaters have it all figured out. They can watch TV instead of studying for the spelling test. But other people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.Some kids cheat because the y’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.16. Why did Jeff look at the teacher from time to time while taking the test?A. He was afraid that the teacher might find out what he was doing.B. He had a question for the teacher but was afraid to ask.C. He wanted to get the teacher’s attention.D. He wanted to hand in his paper as he was done with it.17. According to the author, cheating .A. occurs mainly in test-related settingsB. can take on various forms and happen anywhereC. usually happens when one is doing a science projectD. happens when we don’t know the answer to a question18. What can’t cheating help to do?A. To pass examinations.B. To get a satisfactory score.C. To make difficult things easy.D. To really get the knowledge.19. Which of the following statements is closest in meaning to “cheaters have it allfigured out” (Para.5)?A. Cheaters know they won’t be caught.B. Cheaters make a plan in advance.C. Cheaters can reach a balance between work and play.D. Cheaters clearly know the consequences of cheating.20. The main purpose of the passage is to .A. inform readers why people cheatB. predict possible consequences of cheatingC. persuade students to quit cheatingD. discuss different occasions when people cheatPassage TwoExperts say over half of the world’s seven thousand languages are in danger of disappearing. Every two weeks one language disappears.Sometimes a language disappears immediately when the last person speaking it dies. Or, a local language might disappear more slowly. This happens when an official language is used more often and children stop learning the local language of their parents. Official languages often represent a form of control over a group of people.Throughout history, the language spoken by a powerful group spreads across a civilization. The more powerful culture rarely respects the language and culture of smaller groups. Smaller cultures lose their local language as the language of the culture in power has a stronger influence.Experts say protecting languages is very important for many reasons. Languages contain the histories, ideas and knowledge of a culture. Languages also contain valuable information about local medicines, plants and animals.Many endangered languages are spoken by native cultures in close contact with the natural world. Their ancient languages contain a great deal of information about environmental systems and species of plants and animals that are unknown to scientists. As the last speakers of a language die off, the valuable information carried within a language also disappears. Language is, in many ways, a window to the mind and the world.Any hope for protecting languages can be found in children and their willingness to learn. It is these young people who can keep this form of culture alive for future generations.21. Which of the following is true?A. No one can prevent languages from disappearing.B. There will not be any local languages left some day.C. There have existed 7,000 languages in history.D. Half of the world’s languages will possibly disappear.22. An official language is a language that .A. is highly advancedB. has a stronger influenceC. competes with a local languageD. has a longer history23. Language is a window to the mind and the world because .A. it contains information about both culture and nature.B. it represents the working of the human mindsC. local languages are more closely related to cultureD. ancient languages can reveal ancient people’s thoughts24. According to the passage, a language will be better protected when .A. it is linked to a powerful cultureB. people are forced to speak itC. it keeps pace with the timesD. children are interested in learning it25. The passage mainly discusses .A. language and cultureB. the power of languageC. language protectionD. local languagesPassage ThreeThere’s a professor at the University of Toronto in Canada who has come up with a term to describe the way a lot of us North Americans interact these years. And now a big research study confirms it.Barry Wellman’s term is “networked individualism.” It’s not the easiest concept to grasp. In fact, the words seem to contradict each other. How can we be individualistic and networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.Here’s what he means. Until the Internet and e-mail came along, our social networks involved flesh-and-blood relatives, friends, neighbors, and colleagues at work. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time.But the latest study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project confirms that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced a great deal of social interchange. A lot of folks Pew talked with say that’s a good thing, because of concerns that the Internet was turning us into hermits(隐居者) who shut out other people in favor of a make-believe world on computer screens.To the contrary, the Pew study discovered. The Internet has put us in touch with many MORE real people than we’d have ever imagined. Helpful people, too. We’re turning to an ever-growing list of cyber friends for advice on careers, medical crises, child-rearing, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important or crucial role in helping them deal with major life decisions.So we networked individuals are pretty tricky: we’re keeping more to ourselves, while at the same time reaching out to more people, all with just the click of a computer mouse!26. The Pew study was conducted in .A. Latin AmericaB. CanadaC. the United StatesD. Europe27. In this passage, the network refers to a lot of connected .A. friendsB. peopleC. computersD. roads28.Before the invention of the Internet, our connections with people took placemainly .A. in personB. by phoneC. by letterD. by e-mail29. Which of the following has happened since the invention of the Internet?A. People talk on the phone more than ever.B. Much personal interaction has given way to computer interaction.C. Americans are getting more isolated.D. Americans have become more dependent on computers.30. According to the Pew study, the role played by the Internet in human interaction is.A. neutralB. negativeC. unclearD. positivePassage FourPresident Obama has signed legislation to make the biggest changes in the health care system in forty-five years. Many parts of the plan will fully take effect in four years. But some take effect quickly. For example, in six months the new law will ban insurance companies from denying coverage to children with pre-existing health conditions. Adults with pre-existing conditions will be added in four years.The government will help millions of people pay for insurance. It will also permit millions more to receive free coverage through the Medicaid program for the poor. In all, the plan aims to make health insurance available to 32 million people now without it. Illegal immigrants will not be able to take part.An estimated 83% of people under 65 who are in the US legally now have insurance coverage. The plan is expected to raise that to 95% within several years. People over 65 are covered by the Medicaid insurance program which the government created in 1965.For the first time, Americans will be required to have health insurance or face a yearly fine starting in four years. The law will also require companies with more than 50 employees to offer coverage. If not, they could face a fine of $2,000 a year for every worker.Also, this year the law will start closing what is known as “the doughnut hole”. That is a lack of Medicaid coverage for some drug costs for older Americans. President Obama promised senior citizens that the reforms will not cut their guaranteed benefits.The changes are expected to cost about $940 billion over ten years, but also help reduce the federal budget deficit.31. According to the new health care plan, which of the following will be added firstinto insurance programs?A. Employees of small companies.B. Adults with pre-existing health conditions.C. Poor people now without health insurance.D. Children with pre-existing health conditions.32. It can be inferred from the passage that the new Medicaid program for the poorwill .A. provide free health insurance for 32 million peopleB. provide free health insurance for all poor peopleC. be also applied to legal immigrantsD. cover 83% of the people under 6533.It seems that at present, large companies that do not offer health insurancecoverage to their employees .A. face heavy finesB. do not receive punishmentsC. are required to do soD. do not benefit from doing so34.The “doughnut hole”implies that are not covered by the existingMedicaid program.A. some drug costs for older AmericansB. senior citizens over 65C. illegal immigrantsD. expensed for hospital stay35. Generally speaking, President Obama’s health insurance reform will .A. bring heavy financial burdens to the countryB. pose heavy financial burdens to the poorC. benefit both the people and the countryD. be welcomed by the poor but opposed by companies.PART III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions : There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

The history of industrial development abounds with examples.In 1870, horses and mules were the prime source of power on U. S. Farms. One horse or mule was required to support four human beings-a ratio that remained almost constant for many decades. At that time, had a national commission been asked to forecast the population for 1970, its answer probably would have depended on whether its consultants were of an economic or technological turn of mind. Had they been “economists”, they would probably have projected the 1970 horse or mule population to be more than 50 million. Had they been “technologists”, they would have recognized that the power of steam had already been harnessed to industry and to land and ocean transport. They would have recognized further that it would be the prime source of power on the farm. It would have been difficult for them to avoid the conclusion that the horse and mule population would decline rapidly.A 41. According to the passage, what supplied most of the power on U. S. Farms in 1870?A. Animals.B. HumansC. Engines.D. WaterB 42. Which of the following is not mentioned by the author as a consequence of newtechnological developments?A. Older technologies die away.B. The quality of life is improved.C. Overall productivity increases.D. More raw materials become necessary. -B 43. It can be inferred from the passage that by 1870 ___________.A. technology began to be more economicalB. the steam engine had been invented.C. the U. S. horse population was about io millionD. a national commission on agriculture had been establishedD 44. In the second paragraph, the author suggests that “economists”would __________.A. plan the economy through yearly forecastsB. consult the national commission on the economyC. value the economic contribution of farm animalsD. fail to consider the influence of technological innovationB45. What is the author’s attitude toward changes brought by technological innovations.A. He is excited about themB. He accepts them as naturalC. He is disturbed ny themD. He questions their usefulnessTask 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements a r enumbered 46 through 50.When Polly left school, she had no idea what she wanted to do. A friend of hers, who was a year older, was at art college, and she suggested to Polly that she join her there.Polly’s parents were saving money to buy their house, and they had hoped that Polly would start earning too as soon as she left school, so when she told them she wanted to go to art college, she wished them to disagree. But in fact they didn’t say "no"."You’ll have to find some kind of job to pay for your college," Polly’s mother told her. "Your father and I will be happy to keep you at home, but we have no money for your college courses, and none for paints and all the other things you need.""Tha nk you very much," Polly answered. "There’s no problem about getting a job; the head of the art college has offered me one in their library."After a few months, Polly’s parents really felt very happy when she brought home some of the things she had painted, for which she had received high praise from her teachers.One day Polly said to her parents, " Why don’t you come to a museum with me?I can tell you all about the paintings and you can see the kinds of things I’m trying to do myself."Her parents waited until one Saturday when her father didn’t have to work, and then they all went off to the museum that Polly had chosen.She showed her parents some famous paintings, and then they came to one.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements.a r enumbered 51 through 55For many years, Hawaii has been a magic name to people who like to travel. People on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, in Japan and in America, dream of seeing these beautiful islands in the middle of the ocean. Their dreams always include at least one scene of a sunset over the ocean. In the tropical (热带的) lands, the sun drops, like a ball of golden fire, into the sea, and it drops so quickly that you can almost see it move. The sun leaves behind a glow that lights the skies in the quiet water.People often have a quiet, peaceful time-perfect for a leisurely(悠闲的) walk along the water. This scene is not too different from the dramatic(令人神往的) beauty that greeted the first strangers to these islands centuries ago. They were Polynesian people who came from Tahiti in canoes not much bigger than small boats.They found the beautiful white sand beaches and the waving palm trees, but there were no giant hotels like the ones we see nowadays. The first people came to Hawaii nearly two thousand years ago, but skyscraper hotels only built in the last 25 years. Now jet airplanes make it possible to fly to Hawaii for a weekend from Tokyo or San Francisco or Los Angeles.Wherever the people come from, they really want to see the original beauty of Hawaii. They want to see the lovely beaches and the mountains called Diamond Head(金刚山) which is almost hidden by the tall hotels.B 51. Hawaii is a name .A. given by people who like to travelB. attracting a lot of travelersC. with an interesting story behind itD. talked about by both the Japanese and AmericansC 52.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements a r enumbered 56 through 60.Romantic love is a culture trait found primarily in industrialized societies. Elsewhere in the world, pragmatic considerations rather than flights of fancy are often used to make a choice of partner, and romantic love is seen as an unfortunate inconvenience that gets in the way of the ordinary, rational process of mate selection. Traces of this attitude persist in the American upper classes, where daughters are expected to marry “well”---that is, to a male who is eligible by reason of family background ,and earning potential. Most Americans, however, see romantic love as essential for a successful marriage, and tend to look askance (轻蔑地) at anyone who marries for a more practical reason in which love plays no part.The phenomenon of romantic love occurs when two young people meet and find.one another personally and physically attractive. They become mutually absorbed, start to behave in what appears to be a flighty (充想的), even irrational manner, decide that they are right for one another, and may then enter a marriage whose success is expected to be guaranteed by their enduring love. Behavior of this kind is portrayed and warmly endorsed(赞同) throughout American popular Culture, by books, magazines, comics, records, popular songs, movies, and TV.Romantic love is a noble ideal, and it can certainly provide a basis for the spouses to “1ive happily ever after.” But a marriage can equally well be founded on much more practical considerations-as indeed they have been in most societies throughout most of history. Why is romantic love of such importance in the modern world? The reason seems to be that it has some basic functions in maintaining the institution of the nuclear family（小家庭）.D 56. Romantic love is less frequently found in many nonindustrial societies because people inthese societies ___________.A. firmly believe that only money can make the world go roundB.fail to bring the imaginative power of the mind into full playC. fondly think that flights of fancy prevent them from making a correct choiceof partnerD. have far more practical considerations to determine who will marry whomA 57. The word eligible (in Line 6, Para. 1), could best be replaced by ________.A. qualifiedB. availableC. chosenD. influentialB 58. According to the passage, most Americans ___________.A. expect their daughters to fall in love with a male at first sightB. regard romantic love as the basis for a successful marriageC. look up to those who marry for the sake of wealthD. consider romantic love to be the most desirable thing in the worldC 59. What can we learn from the second paragraph about romantic love?A. It is a common occurrence among the old.B. It is primarily depicted by books.C. It is characterized by mutual attraction and absorption.D. It is rejected as flighty and irrational.C 60. The author seems to believe that _________.A. romantic love makes people unable to think clearly in the process of mate selectionB. only romantic love can make a marriage happy ever afterC. much more practical considerations can also be the basis for a successful marriage.D. romantic love plays an insignificant role in maintaining the institution of the nuclear family.三、Writing (20 %)1. 以《网上购物》（Online Shopping）为题，写一篇不少于100字的作文。

Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneWe are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet?Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up as recently as the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks began to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. At the beginning of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. And scientists developed software that made Internet “surfing” more convenient.Today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day.16. The Internet was set up in __B__.A. 1960B. the 1960sC. 1970D. the 1970s17. Computer networks didn’t work well at first because __D.A. computers were large and expensiveB. computers couldn’t send information fastC. computers didn’t fit into the same networkD. if one computer failed, the whole network stopped18. Which of the following was the first to use the Internet? AA. Governments.B. Universities.C. Banks.D. Hospitals.19. Which of the following statements is true? CA. People use the Internet mainly to send emails.B. Computers are now more costly than ever before.C. Computers were costly and hard to use until the early 1990s.D. In the 1970s the Internet was easy to use but computers were costly.20. The best title for the passage is _C__.A. The Future of the InternetB. The History of ComputersC. The History of the InternetD. Convenient Internet SurfingPassage TwoAlan Chang was a handsome young man with good manners.One morning he was walking along a street on his way to an appointment. He did not want to be early or late. He had forgotten to put on his watch so he went up to a man who was waiting for a taxi.“Excuse me, sir,” he said, very politely, “but could you tell me the time?”The man, who was very well-dressed and looked quite rich, said nothing. He did not even look at Alan. Alan spoke to him again. “Excuse me, sir,” he said, “but could you please tell me what time it is?”This time the man looked at him, but he did not speak and looked quickly away. Alan thought to himself: well, he can hear me; he must be just rude. So Alan asked again, “Why wouldn’t you tell me the time, sir?”The man turned towards him and said, “Put yourself in my shoes. I am standing here waiting for a taxi. You come up to me and ask me for the time. If I tell it to you, you will thank me. I will say ‘That’s all right.’ You may then say ‘It’s a beautiful day,’ to which I may reply ‘Yes, I like these sunny winter days.’Before we know what is happening we have a friendly conversation. You are a pleasant, polite young man, so when my taxi comes, I offer you a ride. You accept. We talk.I like you. You like me. I invite you to my home. You meet my daughter. She is a very pretty girl. You are a good-looking man. You like each other. Soon you fall in love. You want to marry. Now do you understand my problem?”Alan shook his head. “No, sir, I’m sorry, I don’t. Everything you have said seems very natural to me.”“Exactly,” the man said, “and I do not want my daughter to marry a man who is too poor to buy a watch. Good morning to you.” And with these words he hurried away.21. Why did Alan ask the man what time it was? CA. He was too late.B. He was very early.C. He had left his watch home.D. He wanted to meet the man’s daughter.22. What did Alan think of the man when he would not tell him the time? AA. He was impolite.B. He was deaf.C. He was stupid.D. He spoke no English.23. What did the man mean by the underlined part “Put yourself in my shoes”? DA. Don’t interrupt me.B. My shoes hurt me.C. Come and try my shoes.D. Try to understand me.24. What kind of a man was Alan Change in the man’s opinion? BA. A thief.B. A poor man.C. A cheat.D. A rich man.25. The story is mainly about A.A. how rude a person can beB. how one thing leads to anotherC. where a person can’t tell the timeD. why you shouldn’t speak to strangersPassage ThreeWhat are the beauties of Hawaii? Let’s start with four.The beach, famous for its water temperature, air temperature and waves, is the first beauty. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thing? It is volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing.What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice? It probably wouldn’t be just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruits and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane, bananas and pineapples are Hawaii’s biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a thousand years. As for pineapples, the islands produce more than any other places in the world, which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world.The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who live there. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps this is because they care more for human life than they care for the machine. There is an old Hawaiian law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to. What makes the people of Hawaii so beautiful is their feeling about people. There are 64 different combinations of races on the islands, and they all live in peace. They believe “Above all nations is humanity.” That is the most beautiful thing of all.26. According to the passage, Hawaii is made up of B__.A. one islandB. twenty islandsC. sixty-four islandsD. hundreds of islands27. Why are the volcanoes so special to the islands? BA. They are not a part of the islands.B. They actually made the islands.C. They are the first in the world.D. They are growing.28. What has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world? DA. Sugar.B. Sugar cane.C. Bananas.D. Pineapples.29. The people in Hawaii are the most beautiful thing because _ D_.A. they had a peaceful historyB. they can sleep in the middle of the roadC. there are 64 different races on the islandsD. they care more for people than anything else30. According to the passage, “above all nations is humanity” might mean __C .A. not all nations have humanityB. humanity is as important as a nationC. humanity has no national boundariesD. all human beings should live in peacePassage FourThere is a measurable relation between how much a person learns and his attitude toward the subject to be learned. When faced with a difficult learning task, one path to success is to concentrate on the positive aspects of the subject matter.If a student has a boring teacher, one solution is to look for the positive aspectsof completing the course, regardless of how boring the teacher happens to be. To accomplish this might require a private tutor or some independent reading, but with the right attitude, success is possible.Over-achievers – students who do better than their test scores show – usually have a positive interest toward learning. They may learn some things more slowly, and they may make more efforts, but, to compensate (补偿), they are often betterat applying what they have learned. As long as they do not have emotional problems, they are successful.Under-achievers – those who function below their ability shown by test scored– often tend to allow a few negative factors to affect them. Because of their negative attitudes, they sometimes become unfairly critical of teachers. They allow themselves to get bored when it is not necessary. In short, their attitudes often cause them to learn less than over-achievers.If you learn to replace a negative attitude toward learning with something more positive, you are on the road to achieving almost any goal you desire. For example,if you realize a personal computer with a word processor would improve your performance, but have an attitude that keeps telling you that a computer is difficultto operate, you tend to make all kinds of excuses. In short, you resist making full use of a terrific tool, simply because your negative attitude prevents you from learning.31. What does the author think a student should do if he has a boring teacher? DA. Look for a new course.B. Be critical of the teacher.C. Complete the course with a good score.D. Have a right attitude toward the teacher.32. The writer thinks that over-achievers and under-achievers mainly differ in __C.A. their test scoresB. their judgment of othersC. their attitudes toward learningD. their skills in using computers33. The underlined phrase function below their ability shown by test scores meansthe under-achievers B_.A. often get low scores in testsB. do worse in actual learning than in testsC. usually do better in tests than the over-achieversD. are always slow in learning and have to make more efforts34. The example of the personal computer shows that __B.A. finding excuses helps in learningB. to react negatively can be harmfulC. hard-working is the key to successD. making use of the computer isimportant35. What is the main idea of the passage? AA. Attitudes play an important role in learning.B. Students should learn how to use personal computers.C. Teachers are not so important in the learning process.D. There are many differences between over-and under-achievers.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

The last three of the school’s 22 classrooms switched from seated desks to standing desks. “It’s now the first all-standing school,” Juliet Starrett told TFK. She started the group StandUp Kids. Her goal is to have every U.S. public school kid using a standing desk within the next 10 years. Starrett’s daughters—Georgia, 10, and Caroline, 7—attend Vallecito. They are thrilled with their desks. “You feel happier, you’re less tired, and you’re more active,” Georgia says.Some of the desks have wheels and fidget bars. The bars let kids move in a way that doesn’t disturb the class. Wheels allow the desks to be moved easily. The desks also adjust to different heights. Kids take breaks by sitting on the floor. There is the trend of designing things to make them easy and safe to use. According to Mark Benden, director of the Texas A&M Center, standing workers are more focused and healthier. He says his research shows that kids using standing desks are more engaged and burn more calories (卡路里). In December, researchers in New Zealand, Australia, and the United Kingdom released similar findings. But not everyone is convinced standing is better than sitting. Some parents and teachers worry that kids will get tired and that standing for long periods of time may be harmful. And standing desks are more expensive.Benden says both sitting and standing desks can cause problems if they are not the proper height. “Our message should not be ‘Sit less, stand more,’” he says, “but ‘Sit less, move more.’”11. How many classrooms in Vallecito are equipped with standing desks?A. 3B. 25C. 19D. 2212. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Why standing desks are used.B. Where standing desks are used.C. How standing desks are used.D. Who use standing desks.13. Mark Benden’s research shows that kids using standing desks .A. feel more tiredB. are more focusedC. get better scoresD. tend to eat more14. The researchers in Australia and the UK (para. 4) .A. would agree with BendenB. are not fully convinced by BendenC. partly support Benden’s findingsD. find it hard to accept Benden’s theory15. Some parents and teachers worry that using standing desks may .A. disturb the kids in classB. leave the classroom noisyC. harm the students’ healthD. increase the teachers’ workload11——15 DCBACPassage TwoJapan and Germany have the world's oldest populations, but neither country has enough trained health care workers to meet the needs of older adults. So, they are turning to Vietnam for help. This month, 100 young Vietnamese are going to Germany as part of a project to train what are called geriatric (老年的) nurses to work in the European country. The trainees recently completed a six-month language and culture class, they will spend the next two years in an occupational training program. If the trainees pass the final exam, they will be able to work in Germany as geriatric nurses for another 3 years.Germany is facing a crisis as low birth rates combine with a growing population of citizens who are living longer. About 20 percent of the population is over the age of 65, and that percentage is expected to continue rising.This is a problem Japan also faces. Later this year, 150 Vietnamese candidates will go to Japan for two years of training at the country's hospitals, after that they are expected to take the national nursing exam. Japan already trains nurses from the Philippines and Indonesia, but the health care system has been criticized for being too harsh. All candidates must take the same exam, but it is very difficult for foreign applicants because few can speak the Japanese language.Even with an aging population, many Japanese are opposed to foreigners working in some industries. Critics say foreign labor could lead to higher unemployment, but there is little opposition to foreign nurses.In Vietnam, the situation is very different. 60 percent of the population was born after the Vietnam war ended in 1975. There are not enough jobs for everyone who wants one in Vietnam, but learning the nursing skills can help them find jobs overseas.16. The overseas Vietnamese nurses must complete the following EXCEPT .A. a culture courseB. a health care examC. a language trainingD. a driving test17. A Vietnamese youngster will spend at least in Germany before working there as a geriatric nurse.A. six monthsB. one and a half yearsC. two and a half yearsD. five years18. It is inferred from the passage that in Japan .A. the health care system is much more strict than that in GermanyB. the majority of nurses are from Vietnam, Indonesia and the PhilippinesC. the Vietnamese who pass the national exams will be trained at hospitalsD. foreigners find it hard to pass nursing exams because few can speak Japanese19. Faced with the aging population, many Japanese .A. welcome foreign nurses working in JapanB. oppose foreign labor working in most placesC. criticize the government for being too harshD. blame the government for high unemployment20. The last paragraph indicates that .A. the Vietnamese also face the aging problemB. over half of the Vietnamese are under the age of 45C. sixty percent people cannot find jobs in VietnamD. more and more Vietnamese have found jobs abroad16——20 DCDBDPassage ThreeBorn around 1770 in Tennessee, Sequoyah was a Cherokee. Like other Native Americans of that time, he could neither read nor write. He couldn’t help noticing, though, how white people wrote to one another on sheets of paper. They often used these “talking leaves,” as some Native Americans called them, to communicate.Back then, the Cherokee had no way to write down words in their own language. Sequoyah believed it was important for the Cherokee to have a system of writing. So, in 1809,he set out to create an alphabet that the Cherokee could use to do just that. Sequoyah started by drawing pictures, with each one representing a different word or idea. He soon realized that writing sentences using pictures would be much too difficult. There were too many words. No one would ever be able to remember that many pictures.Sequoyah decided to try a different approach. He began to develop symbols to stand for the sounds, or syllables (音节), that made up words. Twelve years later, he completed a system of writing with 86 different symbols. Each one stood for a different syllable in the Cherokee language. The symbols could easily be put together to form words. Soon thousands of Cherokee were able to read and write in their own language.Sequoyah’s work did not end there, however. He helped to establish a print shop and began publishing a bilingual newspaper in both Cherokee and English. The shop also printed books translated from English into Cherokee.Sequoyah died in 1843, but many Cherokee of today still use the alphabet he invented. Thanks to him, the Cherokee now have a written history that will never be forgotten. In honor of his achievements, one of the California parks was named as Sequoia National Park.21. As can be learned from the first paragraph, a Cherokee was a .A. Native AmericansB. writerC. White manD. genius22. “Talking leaves” in the final paragraph refers to .A. English spellingsB. pieces of paper with wordsC. English sentencesD. tree leaves that make sounds23. To create an alphabet, Sequoyah began with pictures that stand for .A. soundsB. symbolsC. wordsD. syllables24. Sequoyah’s invention was important to the Cherokee, because .A. the Cherokee are now able to read and writeB. the Cherokee now make a living with the writing systemC. one of their parks was named after SequoyahD. the Cherokee are proud of his achievement25. Sequoyah is best remembered for .A. being able to read and writeB. being raised as a CherokeeC. drawing pictures to represent words or ideasD. inventing a written language for the Cherokee21——25 ABCADPassage FourClosed Circuit Television, usually abbreviated to CCTV, is everywhere in today's society. In fact, when we go about our everyday lives it is virtually impossible to avoid it. If you take a bus to school, there will be a camera on it. When you pop out to the supermarket to buy some bread, a camera will be watching you walk around the shop. If you look up, you'll see cameras on many street corners, at bus stops, on trains and even in some public toilets. We seem to have developed an obsession (迷恋) with them!In 2013, an article published in The Guardian (a British newspaper) stated that there was 1 camera for every 11 people in Britain. There are estimated to be around 6 million CCTV cameras across Britain - now that's a lot of cameras! Thanks to our apparent love of CCTV, Britain has been nicknamed the "surveillance state". CCTV is a vital tool for the police and can help solve crimes - a notable example would be the James Bulger case from 1993. CCTV images meant that the two boys who committed the crime were caught and prosecuted. However, CCTV does not always have all the answers. Sometimes the images aren't clear enough to identify people; often, criminals obscure their faces to avoid being caught. Recently, some talking CCTV cameras have been installed in the UK. These react to movement, and warn criminals that their photo has been taken.In my opinion, CCTV has gone too far. As a nation, we rely on it far too much. At what point did we decide to replace police officers with technology? Many people claim to feel safer as a result of CCTV; if more police were around I'm sure they'd feel just as safe! Many schools across Britain have installed CCTV - in classrooms, toilets and changing rooms. They say it helps to prevent bullying - but surely something else could be done instead?26. According to Paragraph 1, CCTV________A. can be easily avoidedB. is widely used in societyC. can be bought in supermarketD. makes public streets much safer27. The word “surveillance” (Para.2) probably means “________”.A. monitorB. safetyC. crimeD. public28. Why does the author mention the James Bulger case?A. It is a well-known case in the UK.B. It proves the importance of CCTV.C. It is a lesson for the British police.D. It warns of the danger from boy criminals.29. According to the passage, the talking CCTV cameras__________.A. do not have clear imagesB. help find hidden criminalsC. can identify dim facesD. give warnings to criminals30. What is the author’s attitude towards CCTV?A. PositiveB. NegativeC. ObjectiveD.

Backin the 1600s, though, there were no trained firefighters. Putting out fires was __53__ job. Cities and towns had no indoor plumbing, running water, or fire hydrants (消防栓), so water from a pond, river, or well had to be carried to the fire spot in buckets. When a fire __54__, everyone ran to help. They formed a bucket brigade. Men formed one __55__, leading from the water supply and passed buckets of water to throw on the fire. Women and children formed another line, __56__ empty buckets back to be filled. It was a very slow way to put out a fire, and many houses were burnt to the ground __57__ the fire could be put out.

Many of us bought our beloved "pets" at pet shops or kept beautiful birds in cages. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. People often ask if animals should have rights, and quite simply, the answer is "Yes!" Supporters of animal rights believe that animals have a value completely separate from their usefulness to humans. We believe that every creature with a will to live has a right to live free from pain and suffering. Animal rights is not just a philosophy-it is a social movement that challenges society's traditional views that all animals exist solely for human use.几乎我们所有人都在成长过程中吃肉、逛动物园，或许还穿皮草。

Has a doctor said he can’t find anything wrong with you? Perhaps he sent you to a hospital, but all the advanced equipment there shows that there is nothing wrong with you.Then, consider this: you might be in a state of subhealth.Subhealth, also called the third state or the gray state, is explained as a borderline state between health and disease.According to the investigation by the National health Organization, over 45 percent of subhealth people are middle-aged or elderly. The percentage is even higher among people who work in management positions as well as students around exam-weeks.Symptoms include a lack of energy, depression , slow reactions, insomnia (失眠), agitation, and poor memory. Other symptoms include shortness of breath, sweating and aching in the waist and legs.The key to preventing and recovering from subhealth, according to some medical experts, is to form good living habits, alternate work and rest, exercise regularly, and take part in open air activities.As for meals, people are advised to eat less salt and sugar. They should also eat more fresh vegetables, fruits, fish because they are rich in nutritional elements—vitamins and trace elements that are important to the body.Nutrition experts point out that it is not good to eat too much at one meal because it may cause unhealthy changes in the digestive tract (消化系统). They also say that a balanced diet is very helpful in avoiding subhealth.16. According to this passage, which of the following is right?A. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should stay at home and keep silent.B. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should go to see a doctor and buy some medicine.C. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should have yourself examined in foreign countries.D. When you are in a state of subhealth, you should find out the reasons and relax yourself.17 It may be easy for middle-aged people to be in a state of subhealth because .A. they have used up their energyB. they have lost their living hopesC. they have more pressure in life and workD. they begin to get older18.

New York is the 38th state to enact a death penalty since 1976, when the U. S. Supreme Court allowed states to resume capital punishment.“People out there understand that this is going to save lives,” Mr. Pataki said. He spoke at a news conference, surrounded by relatives of people killed in crimes that now qualify as capital cases.Among the murders now punishable by death are those of police officers, prison guards and judges, serial killings, those committed with another felony (重罪) such as rape, and slayings by terrorists. The killers would be executed by injection.A coalition has been preparing an appeal since the bill was approved. It will be filed as soon as someone is sentenced to death? said Norman Siegel, executive director ofthe New York Civil Liberties Union. No one has been executed in New York since 1963. In 1965, the legislature suspended the death penalty due to doubts about its fair application to minorities.21. vetoed a death penalty law in New York State after 1976.A. Democratic governorsB.

The Buddhist wheel, along with two dragons, can be seen on nearly every Buddhist temple whose designs and inside details are different in Tibet. The design of the Tibetan towers can be different, from roundish walls in the western areas of Tibet to squarish, four-sided walls in Ladakh, an area near Himalayas which is known for its remote mountain beauty.The most unusual feature of Tibetan architecture is that many of the houses and temples are built on elevated,sunny sites facing the south, and are often made out of a mixture of rocks, wood, cement and earth. Little fuel is available for heating or lighting, so flat roofs are built to keep heat inside, and multiple windows are built to let in sunlight. Walls are usually sloped inwards at 10 degrees as a measure to fight against frequent earthquakes in the mountainous area.Standing at 117 meters in height and 360 meters in width, the Potala Palace, which means the holy land of Buddhism, is considered as the most important example of Tibetan architecture. Formerly the living place of the Dalai Lama, it contains over a thousand rooms within thirteen stories, and houses portraits of the past Dalai Lamas and statuesof the Buddha. It is divided into the outer White Palace, which serves as the administrative quarters, and the inner Red Palace, which contains the assembly hall of the Lamas and a vast library of Buddhist scriptures (经文). It is now a statemuseum of China and a popular tourist attraction.26. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Tibetan architecture.B. Tibetan temples.C. Tibetan arts.D. Tibetan transportation.27. The walls are usually sloped inwards at 10 degrees to .A. bring in the fresh airB. keep the cold wind outC. prevent the damage of earthquakesD. collect the rain in summer28.

For each numbered blank, there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet and chat. But just as in face-to-face communication, there are some basic rules that should be 76 when online.The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same 77 you would want to be treated. Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.For anything you are about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. Repeat till you feel 78 that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.79 someone in the chat room is impolite to you, your instinct is to fire back in the same way. 80 try not to do so. You should ignore the person. If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to 81 opinions of others in chat room.Everyone was new to the network once. Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes mistake, whether it’s a stupid question 82 an unnecessary and long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. 83 if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else.If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out 84 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, correct it and say sorry.It is not polite to ask others personal questions 85 as their age, sex, and marriage.76.

Without certain certificates showing their English ability, it may be hard even to find a job, even though most jobs have nothing to do with English. For some, it is a waste of time and resources for so many people to learn English.On the other hand, it is believed that grasping a foreign language means obtaining a useful skill, which could make a person be able to fulfill more jobs and demands in the society.To me, the most time-consuming task for students in China is learning English. They have to spend a lot of precious time reading, memorizing words, and doing exercises. To them, the only meaning in English learning is to deal with tests.

湖南自考学位英语模拟试题及答案详解（一）2013湖南学位英语仿真模拟试题试题（一）Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.What exactly is a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wa nts to borrow some money from you. You say “I wish I could help you but I’m short of money myself.” In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debt and y ou don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this rally a lie?Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of Southern California has made a scientific study of lying. (76)According to him, women are better liars than men, particularly w hen telling a “white lie”, such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks awful. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intension of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liarhopes to profit or gain in some way.Research has also be en done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. T o the trained observer th ey are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now.” They also tend to touch certain parts of the face more often, in particular the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The tip of the nose is very sensitive to such changes and the increased pressures make it itch.Another gesture which gives liars away is what the writer Desmond Morris in his book Manwatching calls “the mouth cover”.(77)He says there are several typical forms of this, such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper-lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side of the mouth. Such a gesturecan be understood as an unconscious attempt on the part of the liar to stop himselfor herself from lying.Of course, such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth, or moving about in a chair cannot be taken as proof that the speaker is lying. They simply tendto occur more frequently in this situation. It is not one gesture alone that gives the liar away but a whole number of things, and in particular the context in which thelie is told.1.According to the passage, a “white lie” seems to be a lieA.that other people believeB.that other people don’t believeC.told in order to avoid offending someoneD.told in order to take advantage of someone2.Research suggests that womenA.are better at telling less serious lies than men areB.generally lie far more than men doC.lie at parties more often than men doD.often make promises they intend to break3.Researchers find that when a person tells liesA.his blood pressure increases measurablyB.he looks very seriousC.he tends to make some small changes in his behaviorD.he uses his unconscious mind4.One reason people sometimes rub their noses when they lie is thatA.they wish they were somewhere elseB.the nose is sensitive to physical changes caused by lyingC.they want to cover their mouthsD.they are trying to stop themselves from telling lies5.The tone of this passage tells us that the writerA.hates to lieB.enjoys lyingC.often tells a lieD.tries to analyze lyingPassage 2Question 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.(78) Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes thenecessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learning to do all the othe r things they learn to do without being taught—to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle—compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowlymake the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what his word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.6. According to the passage, which of the following is the best way for children to learn things?A. Listening to skilled people’s advice.B. Asking older people many questions.C. Making mistakes and having them corrected.D. Doing what other people do.7. The writer think teachers should NOT .A. give children correct answersB. allow children to make mistakesC. point out children’s mistakes to themD. let children mark their own work8. According to the writer, teachers in school should .A. allow children to learn from each otherB. point out children’s mistakes whenever foundC. correct children’s mistakes as soon as possibleD. give children more book knowledge9. According to the passage, learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are .A. different from learning other skillsB. the same as learning other skillsC. more important than other skillsD. not really important skills10. The title of this passage could probably be .A. Let Us T eachers Stop WorkB. Let Us Make Children LearnC. Let Children Correct Their ExercisesD. Let Children Learn By ThemselvesPassage 3Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:(79) John had bought a packet of cigarettes just before we caught the train and he offered me one as we settled ourselves in our compartment. We were on our way back from a camping holiday；we had lived rough for over a fortnight and evena cigarette was a luxury at that moment.I felt in my pocket for a box of matches, but could not find any.3“I haven’t got any either,” said John.Sitting opposite to us was a man whose face was hidden bya newspaper.“Excuse me, sir,” said John, leaning across. “Coul d you give me a light, please?”The newspaper was lowered to reveal a rather elderly man with a stern face.“This is a no smoking compartment,” the man said. He indicated the notice near the window. We apologized and put away our unlit cigarettes.(80) The man went on, in a rather more kindly way, to warn us against the dangers of smoking.“I speak as a doctor,” he conc luded, and after that he went back to reading his newspaper.When he got out a few stations later, he left his newspaper behind him. We picked it up, eager to find out what had happened while we were on holiday.“Just look at this,” remarked John, pointing to a photograph. “it’s the man who was sitting opposite us.” Underneath the photograph was an account of a lunatic (精神病者) who had recently escaped. It appeared that he liked to pretendto be a doctor.11.The friends had spent their holiday ______.A. on a boatB. in a tentC. on a farmD. withan aunt12.
