GCT考试《英语》阅读理解模拟练习题附答案《英语》阅读理解模拟练习题(一)Directions:In this part there are three passages and one advertisement followed by questions or unfinished statements each with four suggested answers. Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Questions1-5are based on the following passage:Imagine a world in which children would be the rulers and could decide not only the outcome of each and every occurrence, but also dictate the very structure and form of the environment. In this world, a child's wildest thoughts would become reality, limited only by the extent of his or her imagination.While such a world might sound both fantastic and frightening, at least from a logical, adult perspective, it does exist. What's more, it has been in existence for some time and is populated by hundreds of thousands of children who spend hours within its boundaries experimenting and learning. This world is not real, at least not in the traditional sense, but exists within a computer and is generated by an educational programming language called LOGO. Unlike other computer languages and programs that are designed to test children and provide applications that formally dispense information, LOGO allows children, even preschool children, to be in total control. Children teach the computer to think and as a result develop and sharpen their own reasoning abilities.1. In the imagined world___________ would restrict children's wildest thoughts.a. the limits of their imaginationb. the structure and form of the environmentc. the reality of lifed. the rules of the society2. LOGO is ______________.a. an educational testing programb. a computer languagec. an information dispensed. an unreal world3.

One theory claims that prehistoric birds on the Northern Hemisphere were forced south during the Ice Age. As the glaciers melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again as the ice advanced in winter. In time, the migration became a habit in spite of the disappearance of glaciers.Another theory proposes that the ancestral home of all modern birds was the tropics. When the region became overpopulated, many species were crowded north. During the summer, there was plenty of food, but during the winter, scarcity forced them to return to the tropics.A more recent theory suggests a relationship between increasing daylight and the stimulation of certain glands(腺) in the birds' bodies that may prepare them for migration. One scientist has been able to cause midwinter migrations by exposing birds to artificial periods of daylight. He has concluded that changes occur in the bodies of birds due to seasonal changes in the length of daylight.1. According to one theory, when the glaciers disappeared, birds _______________.a. stopped migratingb. continued migratingc. stayed in the northd. migrated south and stayed there2. The author states that birds left the tropics because ______________.a. there was not enough food there in the winter.b. there were too many birdsc. there were too many glaciersd. there was too much daylight3. Why did one scientist expose birds to artificial daylight?a. To test the relationship between daylight and a disease of the glands common to birds.b. To test the relationship between daylight and migrationc. To test the relationship between migration and temperatured. To test the relationship between daylight and changes in the season.4. According to the theory of photo-periodism, _______________.a. birds should migrate in the middle of the winterb. longer days cause changes in the bodies of birdsc. seasonal changes in the length of days do not affect migrationd. increasing daylight increases the distance of migration5. This passage supports the belief that_____________.a. exact reasons for migration are not knownb. birds migrate because of changes in temperaturec. the ancestral home of all birds was the tropicsd. glaciers caused birds to migrateQuestions 26-30 are based on the following advertisements.Ad.

Paintings by Ruby, an Asian elephant who lived at the Phoenix Zoo in Arizona, sold for up to $5,000 in the late 1980s, said Dick George, a consultant with the zoo. "Ruby was about seven months old when she first came to the zoo", said George. "She lived with a goat and some chickens, but she didn"t have an elephant companion for a number ofyears. She spent a lot of time drawing in the dirt with a stick to make her days more stimulating. Her keeper bought her some art supplies". George said, ", Ruby was excited about painting right from the beginning". The elephants at the art academies in the Southeast Asia are taught to hold a paintbrush with the tip of their trunks. Initially, the keeper guides the elephant"s trunk over the canvas(画布) and offers rewards for good performance. "It only takes a few hours to a day to teach them", said Mia Fineman, an art historian whose book When Elephants Paint is an illustrated history of the Asian Elephant Art and Conservation Project.第11题Ruby was an Asian elephant ______.A.who was sold for a price as high as $5,000B.who was famous for being the first painting elephantC.whose paintings sold for as high as $5,000D.who started painting in the late 1980s第12题Why did Ruby start painting according to Dick George?A.Because she was seven years old.B.Because she was the first to come to the zoo.C.Because she learned a lot from the goat and the chickens.D.Because she had no elephant partners to play with.第13题How did Ruby paint at the very beginning?A.She used a stick to draw in the dirt.B.She spent much time in the dirt.C.She stimulated herself every day.D.She painted with her keeper"s art supplies.第14题To encourage the elephants to paint well, the keeperA.bought them a lot of art suppliesB.made them excited at the beginningC.taught them to hold a paintbrush with their trunksD.reinforced the desired behaviors with rewards第15题When Elephants Paint is a book ______.A.on the history of artsB.about the painting elephants in AsiaC.explaining how to teach elephants to paintD.chiefly theorizing about elephant art上一题下一题(16~20/共20题)阅读理解While it is true that Americans believe climbing the educational ladder leads to success, they are less certain that intellectual achievement is the only important factor leading to success. A competitive personality is seen as important to success, especially in men. The development of social and political skills is also considered to be very important. To help Americans develop these other important skills, schools have added a large number of extracurricular(课程外)activities to daily life at school. This is especially tree of high schools and colleges and extends down into elementary schools as well. Athletics, frequently called "competitive sports", are perhaps the most important of these activities. Football, basketball, and baseball teams are seen as very important in teaching students, particularly boys, the "winning spirit". At times, athletic teams seem to become more important to some students and their parents than the academic programs offered by the schools.第16题Americans believe that education is ______.A.the only way to successB.the main purpose of the schoolsC.just like climbing laddersD.important to success第17题Which of the following is NOT mentioned as important to success?A.intellectual achievementpetitive personalityC.social backgroundsD.social and political skills第18题A variety of extracurricular activities are added in American schools ______.A.to help students climb the education ladderB.to enrich students" dull life at schoolC.to help students become more successful in later lifeD.to extend college education down into elementary schools第19题Athletic activities are designed ______.A.to make boys strongerB.to teach students winning spiritC.to develop students" social and political skillsD.to improve the academic programs第20题Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?cation and SuccessB.Extracurricular Activities at SchoolC.Athletic SportsD.Intellectual Achievement上一题下一题(21~25/共20题)阅读理解People once widely believed that intelligent life existed on Mars. The 19th-century discovery of what appeared to be geometric designs cut across the surface was taken as evidence. The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. It is now clear that "canals"—perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars—are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed. Another fragmented idea concerns the planet"s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are nowknown to develop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere. By the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted by spacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculation continued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present or the past. In 1996 scientists discovered organic compounds and minerals in a meteorite(陨石), consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth around 11,000 B.C. These compounds suggest that Mars may have been inhabited by organisms more than three billion years ago.第21题Why did people in the 19th century believe the existence of intelligent life on Mars?A.Because the surface of Mars seemed to be geometric.B.Because the lines were drawn across the surface of the planet.C.Because a system of canals was thought to be there.D.Because it was the Martians that built the canals.第22题The "canals" on Mars have proved to be ______ according to the passage.A.the minor geologic characteristic of MarsB.natural valleys on the surface of MarsC.rivers that have kept flowing since ancient timesD.a system that irrigates the whole surface第23题What were the Mars" seasonal changes in color believed to be?A.The natural changes on the planet.B.The seasonal cycles.C.The movement of some life form.D.The storm of dust in its atmosphere.第24题How is the 1996 discovery related to the possible existence of organisms on Mars?A.The meteorite containing organic compounds is part of Mars.B.A Martian rock struck Earth about 11,000 years ago.C.The organisms came back to life after the collision with Earth.D.The inhabiting organisms appeared more than three billion years ago.第25题How many arguments in this passage lead to the belief of the existence of life on Mars?A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.上一题下一题(26~30/共20题)阅读理解Weather Forecast The following forecast shows for the listed cities the projected weather conditions and the expected range of temperatures from the afternoon high to the evening low. 图片第26题According to the forecast, ______.A.Kansas City will be warmer than TorontoB.temperatures will be the lowest in Seattle and MinneapolisC.the weather will be fine in most of the listed citiesD.more than half of the listed cities ore cloudy or rain likely第27题Among the following four cities, the difference between the afternoon high and the evening low is smallest in ______.A.Kansas CityB.MiamiC.AtlantaD.Seattle第28题Which of the following cities is closest m Miami in weather conditions?A.BostonB.AtlantaC.WashingtonD.Houston第29题The difference between the afternoon high and the evening low is greatest in ______.A.SeattleB.Los Angeless VegasD.Phoenix第30题The differences between the afternoon high and the evening low are the same in ______.A.Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, and St. LouisB.Atlanta, San Francisco, New Orleans, and SeattleC.Cleveland, Dallas, St. Louis, and Washington,D.C.D.Pittsburg, Miami, Houston, and Boston上一题下一题(31~40/共10题)完型填空How much sleep does a person need?【B1】the physiological bases of the need for sleep remain conjectural(猜想), rendering conclusive answers to this question impossible, much evidence has been gathered on how much sleep people do in fact obtain. Perhaps the most important conclusion to be【B2】from this evidence is【B3】there is great variability among individuals in total sleep time. For adults,【B4】between six and nine hours of sleep as a nightly average is not unusual, and 7.5 hours probably best expresses the norm. Such norms, of course, forms inevitably vary with the criteria of sleep employed. The most【B5】and reliable figures on sleep time, including those cited here, come from studies in sleep laboratories, where EEG criteria are employed. 【B6】consistently has been associated with the varying amount, quality, and pattern of electrophysiologically defined sleep. The newborn infant may spend an average of about 16 hours of each 24-hour period in sleep,【B7】the sleep time drops sharply; by two years of age, it may【B8】from nine to 12 hours. Decreases to approximately six hours have been observed among the elderly. 【B9】will be discussed from below, EEG sleep studies haveindicated that sleep can be considered to consist of several different stages.

They will detect fire and if you are out of the house, the computer will call the firemen. It will also call the police should the sensors detect an intruder. You will open the door using your personal card – the one you use for shopping – maybe using a number known only to you.11.The author intends to tell the reader that in year 2040 ________.(A) they will live without lights and heaters(B) they will use lights and heaters much more(C) lights and heaters will switch on and off automatically(D) there will be no switches for lights and heaters12.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?(A) People often forget to turn off the lights and heaters.(B) People will have a servant to work for them in 2040.(C) People are afraid of the year 2040.(D) People will save much trouble with the help of advanced technology.13.

This gave him confidence. He __38__ the idea that he couldn’t do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could.

However, the volume of business done on the Internet is growing rapidly, as people order books and other products and make money transactions. All this is creating temptations for hacker(黑客).Hackers are often young people who are interested in computers. They use them to move quietly to the Internet, looking for ways to break into computers systems run by banks, telephone companies and even Government departments. They look for examples of credit cards and try to steal the numbers.Hackers rarely admit to a successful break-in. The first indication of a hacking may be when a customer discovers a wrong money transaction on a credit card account. It is harder to check on somebody misusing an online connection unless there is a massive download of information which would call the attention of the consumer.11. The main idea of the first paragraph is that ________.(A) the opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet have been low(B) the opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet are low(C) there are more opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet(D) people should not make money transactions on the Internet12. The word “temptations” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.(A) interests (B) attractions (C) benefits (D) profits13. In the passage, it’s said that hackers may attack the Internet system of all the following institutions except________.(A) banks (B) telephone companies (C) universities (D) government departments14. Which of the following is NOT the reason for a hacking being found?(A) The customer found something wrong with his account.(B) There was a huge amount of information being downloaded.(C) There was a wrong money transaction.(D) The hacker proudly admitted his successful break-in.15. In the last sentence of the paragraph, “somebody” refers to a ________.(A) customer (B) card user (C) hacker (D) bank clerkQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:For any Englishman, there can never be any discussion as to who is the world’s greatest writer. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him: that of William Shakespeare(莎士比亚). Every Englishman has some knowledge of his work. All of us use words and phrases from Shakespeare’s writings that have become a part of the English-speaking people.Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman!) to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners), even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.16. From the first two sentences of the passage we can conclude that ________.(A) it can’t be discussed about who is the world’s greatest poet(B) it can’t be discussed about who is the world’s greatest dramatist(C) Shakespeare is regarded as a greatest writer(D) Englishmen like to discuss about who is the world’s greatest writer17. According to the passage many English words and phrases that we use today are from ______.(A) Englishmen (B) Shakespeare’s works(C) English speaking people (D) ancient people18. To learn the richness of the English language, people should ________.(A) read Shakespeare’s plays (B) learn from an English man(C) be glad to be a foreigner (D) write and read more19. The author does not suggest beginners reading Shakespeare’s plays, probably because ______.(A) the works are for native speakers(B) only Englishmen can understand his plays(C) the works are too difficult for a beginner(D) some of English usage and the meaning of many words have changed20. In this passage the author wants to ________.(A) show the richness of English language(B) tell how great a writer Shakespeare is(C) tell that some English words are out of use now(D) tell that some aspects of English usage have changed since Shakespeare’s dayQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:Oxford and Cambridge differ from the rest of the universities in Great Britain in many important respects, but resemble each other quite closely.Oxford was founded in the 12th century. There are at present 35 colleges: three are for women only and the rest take both men and women. There are at present approximately 9,400 students in residence, of whom over a third are women. The city of Oxford is popular with tourists because of the University’s many beautiful medieval buildings.Cambridge was founded in the 13th century. There are at present 28 colleges, of which only one is for men students only and two for women only. The remaining 25 take both men and women.

With an estimated net worth of US$1 billion, the 53-year-old entrepreneur and his Shanghai-based Hope Group are symbols of the new China.But Forbes’ list of the 100 richest individuals in China also illustrates the growing income inequality here that alarms some officials. The Forbes survey found that the 100 richest people in China had a combined net worth of US$18 billion in the year ended September 30. That’s small change by US standards: The most recent Forbes ranking of global billionaires put the net worth of Bill Gates alone at more than US$58 billion. But what’s remarkable about China’s wealth numbers is how fast they’re rising. The wealth of the top 50 on this year’s China list jumped 40 percent, to US$14 billion, from US$10 billion last year despite a global economic slump.26.

Choose the one that you think is the best answer.Passage 1Questions 11 ~ 15 are based on the following passage:What are those of us who have chosen careers in science and engineering able to do about our current problems?First, we can help destroy the false impression that science and engineering have caused the current world trouble. On the contrary, science and engineering have made vast contributions to better living for more people.Second, we can identify the many areas in which science and technology, more considerably used, can be of great service in the future than in the past to improve thequality of life. While we can make many speeches, and pass many laws, the quality of our environment will be improved only through better knowledge and better application of that knowledge.Third, we can recognize that much of the dissatisfaction we suffer today results from our very successes of former years. We have been so greatly successful in attaining material goals that we are deeply dissatisfied that we cannot attain other goals more rapidly. We have achieved a better life for most people, but we are unhappy that we have not spread it to all people. We have reduced many sources of environmental disasters, but we are unhappy that we have not conquered of them. It is our raised expectations rather than our failures which now cause our distress.Granted that many of our current problems must be cured more by social, political, and economic instruments than science and technology, yet science and technology must still be the tools to make further advances in such things as clean air, clean water, better transportation, better medical care, more adequate welfare programs, purer food, conservation resources, and many other areas.11.The author thinks that science and technology _C_.A.have caused the current world problemsB.have made life better for more peopleC.will, if not in the past, better people's life in the futureD.can not bring a better life for most people12.According to the author, to improve the quality of environment, it is important toD_.A.call on the public to actionB.pass related lawC.eliminate the destructive effect of science and technologye better knowledge of science and technology13.We are not satisfied because D .A.science and technology have created many social problemsB.science and technology have brought about many environmental disastersC.science and technology have made us more distressedD.we expect too much of science and technology at present14.The author believes that our current problems can be better solved by A .A.social, political, and economic meansB.advances in science and technologyC.effective law-makingD.both A and B15.The author points out that A .A.attention should be given to some areas of science and technology to better people's lifeB.we should not expect science and technology to improve living conditions for all the peopleC.social political and economical means should not interfere with the advances in science and technologyD.we should not use science and technology to achieve material goalsPassage 2Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Thirty-two people watched kitty Genovese being killed right beneath their windows. She was their neighbor. Yet none of the 32 helped her. Not one even called the police. Was this in gunman cruelty? Was it lack of feeling about one's fellow man?"Not so," say scientists John Barley and Bib Fatane. These men went beyond the headlines to probe the reasons why people didn't act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice that is an emergency.Suppose you see a middle-aged man fall to the side-walk, is he having a heart attack? Is he in a coma from diabetes? Or is he about to sleep off a drunk?Is the smoke coming into the room from a leak in the air conditioning? Is it "steam pipes", or is it really smoke from a fire? It!s not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency.Second, and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel personally responsible. He must feel that he must help, or the person won't get the help he needs.The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They had college students in to be "tested." Some came alone. Some came with one or two others. And some came in large groups. The receptionist started them off on the "tests." Then she went into the next room. A curtain divided the "testing room" and the room into which she went.Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of file cabinets falling and cry for help. All of this had been pre-recorded on a tape-recorder.Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of the ten helped. Of the students in group, none helped.In other words, in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn't. They do not feel any direct responsibility/ Are people bothered by situation where people are in trouble? Yes, scientists found that the people were emotional, they sweated, they had trembling hands. They felt that other person's trouble. But they did not act. They were in a group. Their actions were shaped by the actions of those they were with.16.The purpose of the passage is A .A.to explain why people fail to act in emergenciesB.to explain when people will act in emergenciesC.to explain what people will do in emergenciesD.to explain how people feel in emergencies17.Which of the following is not tree? DA.When a person tries to help others, he must be clear that there is a real emergency.B.When a person tries to help others, he should know whether they are worth his help.C. A person must take the full responsibility for the safety of those in emergencies if he wants to help.D. A person with a heart attack needs the most.18.The researchers have conducted an experiment to prove that people will act in emergencies when C .A.they are in pairsB.they are in groupsC.they are aloneD.they are with their friends19.The main mason why people fail to act when they stay together is that DA.they are afraid of emergenciesB.they are reluctant to get themselves involvedC.others will act if they themselves hesitateD.they do not have any direct responsibility for those who need help20.The author suggests that AA.we shouldn't blame a person if he fails to act in emergenciesB. a person must feel guilty if he fail to helpC.people should be responsible for themselves in emergenciesD. when you are in trouble, people will help you anyway Passage 3Questions 21 ~25 are based on the following passage:The rise of "temp" work has further magnified the decreasing rights and alienation of the worker. It is common corporate practice to phase out full-time employees and hire temporary workers to take on more workload in less time. When facing a pressing deadline, a corporation may pay $15〜$ 20 per hour for a temp worker, but the temp worker will only see $ 7 or $ 8 of that money. The rest goes to temp agency, which is usually a corporate chain, such as Kelly Services, that blatantly makes its profits off other people's lab or. This increases profits of the corporations because they can increase a workload, get rid of the employee when they!re finished, and not worry about paying benefits or unemployment for that employee. I have had to work with temps a few times in my current position, and the workers only want one thing ・a full-time job with benefits. We really wanted to hire one temp I was working with, but we could not offer her a full, time job because it would have been a breach in our contract with the temp agency that employed her. To hire a temp full-time, we would have had to pay the agency over a thousand dollars. Through this practice and policy, the temp agency locks its temporary workers into a horrible new form of servitude form which the worker cannot break free.Furthermore, corporate powers push workers to take on bigger workloads, work longer hours, and accept less benefits by instilling a paranoia in their workforce. The capitalist bosses assume dishonesty, disloyalty, and laziness amongst workers, and they breed a sense of guilt and fear through their assumptions. Where guilt doesn't seep in, bitterness, anger, and depression take over, the highest priorities of Big Business are to increase profits and limit liabilities. Personal relations and human needs are last on their list of priorities. So what we see is a huge mass of people who are alienated, disemboweled, overworked, mentally and physically ill and who spend the vast majority of their time and energy on their basic survival. They are denied a chance to really "love", because they are forced to make profits for the capitalists in power.21.Which of the following can NOT be listed as a reason for corporations* hiring temporary Workers and phasing out full-time employees? BA.Corporations intend to leave more workload to temporary workers.B.Temp workers are generally well-trained and can achieve high efficiency.C.Corporations can reduce their production cost by employing temp workers.D.Corporations can benefit a great deal from keeping a small full-time work force.22.According to the first paragraph, which statement is TRUE? DA.Temp worker seem to be satisfied with their conditions.B.Temp agencies have made it possible for temp workers.C.Temp workers are fairly paid by their agencies.D.It's difficult for temp workers to be employed as full-time workers.23.The main purpose of the last paragraph is to ____ .A.show how much the capitalist bosses distrust temp workersB.reveal that temp workers are living in miseryC.arouse reader's hatred for the capitalistsD.severely criticize the ignorance of the temp workers24.The author^ attitude toward the temp workers can be described as _ C _____ ・A. amicableB. depressedC. sympatheticD. hostile25.The word "liabilities" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to BA.risks in hiring temp workersB.duties distributed to workersC.responsibilities shared by temp workersD.considerations offered to temp workersPassag4 4Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage:Once upon a time, innovation at Procter & Gamble flowed one way: from the United States outward. While the large Cincinnati-based corporation was no stranger to foreign markets, it usually sold them precuts that were already familiar to most Americans. Many Japanese families, for instance, swaddle their babies in Pampers diapers, and lots of Venezuelans brush their teeth with Crest. And of course ( company executives assumed) Americans at home wanted these same familiar, red -white and blue brands. We might buy foreign-made cars, or chocolates, or cameras but household cleaners and detergents?Recently, however, P&G broke with this long-standing tradition. Ariel, a P&G laundry detergent, was bom overseas, and is a familiar sight on store shelves in Europe and Latin America. Now bilingual packages of Ariel Ultra, a super-concentrated cleaner, are appearing on supermarket shelves in Los Angeles.ArieFs appearance in the United States reflects demographic changes making Hispanics the nation's fastest-growing ethnic group. Ariel is a hit with this population. In fact, many Mexican immigrants living in Southern California have been "importing" Ariel from Tijuana, Mexico. "Hispanics knew this product and wanted it," says P&G spokeswoman Marie Salvado. "We realized that we couldn't convince them to buy (our) other laundry detergents.*' P&G hopes that non-Hispanic consumers will give Ariel a try too.Ariel's already strong presence in Europe may provide a springboard for the company to expand into other markets as well. Recently P&G bought Rakona,CzechoSlovakia1s top detergent maker. Ariel, currently a top seller in Germany, is likely to be one of the first new brands to appear in Czech supermarkets. And Ariel is not the only foreign idea that the company hopes to transplant back to its home territory. Cinch, an all-purpose spray cleaner similar to popular European products, is currently being test・marketed in California and Arizona. Traditionally Americans have used separate cleaners for different types of surfaces, but market research shows that American preferences are becoming more like those in other countries.Insiders note that this new reverse flow of innovation reflects more sweeping changes at Procter & Gamble. The firm has hired, many new Japanese, German, and Mexican managers who view P&G's business not as a one-way flow of American ideas, but a two-way exchange with other markets. Says Bonita Austin of the investment firm Wertheim-Schroeder, "When you met with P&G's top managers years ago, you wouldn't have seen a single foreign face." Today, "they could even be in the majority."As Procter & Gamble has found, the United States is no longer an isolated market. Americans are more open than ever before to buying foreign-made products and to selling U. S.・made products overseas.26.According to the passage, which of the following is true?

There are times when most of us would rather eat sweets and ice cream than meat and rice. Sweets and ice-cream are not bad for the stomach if we eat them at the end of a meal. If we eat them before a meal, they may take away our appetite（胃口）. It is important for us to eat our meal at the same time each day. When we feel hungry, it is a sign that our bodies need food. When we feel angry or excited, we may not want to eat. When we are worried, we may not want to eat, eithe匚A long time ago, in England, some judges used to decide whether a man was telling the truth by giving him some dry bread. If the man could not swallow the bread, it was a sign that he wasn't telling the truth. He was telling a lie. Although this seems very strange and rather foolish, it is indeed an excellent way of finding out the truth. A man who is worrying about something has difficulty in swallowing anything dry. Because when he is worrying, he loses his appetite and does not want to eat.16.We have to develop good eating habits because C _______ .A. we want to eat moreB. we want to enjoy our mealsC. we want to be healthy and strongD. we want to save time17. D may take away our appetite before we have our meal.A.Either meat or riceB. Neither sweets nor ice-creamC. Not only meat but also riceD.

Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:The classroom is a man's world, where boys get two-thirds of the teachers' attention -- even when they are in a minority--taunt (辱骂) the girls without punishment, and receive praise for sloppy work that would not be tolerated from girls. They are accustomed to being teachers' pets, and if girls get anything like equal treatment, they will protest eagerly and even wreck lessons.These claims are made in a book out this week, written by Dale Spender, a lecturer at the London University Institute of Education. She argues that discrimination against girls is so deeply in co-educational schools that single-sex classes are the only answer.Her case is based on tape-recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons. Many of them, like Spender, had deliberately se t out to give girls a fair chance. “Sometimes,” says Spender, “I have even thought I have gone too far and have spent more time with the girls than the boys.” The tapes proved otherwise. In 10 taped lessons (in secondary school and college), Spender never gave the girls more than 42 per cent of her attention (the average was 38 percent) and never gave the boys less than 58 percent. There were similar results for other teachers, both male and female.In other words, when teachers give girls more than a third of their time, they feel that they are cheating the boys of their rightful share. And so do the boys themselves. “She always asks the girls allthe questions,” said one boy in a classroom where 34 per cent of the teachers' time was allocated to girls. “She doesn't like boys, and just listens to the girls.” said a boy in another class, where his sex got 63 per cent of teacher attention. Boys regarded two-thirds of the teacher's time as a fair deal — and when they got less they caused trouble in class and e ven complained to higher authority. “It's important to keep their attention,” said one teacher, “Otherwise, they play you up something awful.”Spender concludes that, in mixed classes, if the girls are as boisterous and pushy as the boys, they are conside red “unladylike”, if they are docile and quiet, they are ignored.11. If boys are better treated in class, ____ would be better.A.single-sex classes and co-educational classesB.co-educational classesC.single-sex classesD.None of the above12. Dale Spender obtained the evidence for her claims by ____A.her own lessons in secondary school and collegeB.the other teachers' tape-recordingsC.both male and female teachersD.tape-recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons13. What are the boy's reactions when girls are given more attention?A.They will keep the teachers' attention again.B.They will make some trouble and complain to the headmaster.C.They will play up the teacher something awful.D.They will feel they are cheated by teachers.14. The word “boisterous” in the last paragraph probably means ____.A.roughB.braveC.troublesomeD.emotional15. The best title for this passage would be ____.A.boys are teachers' petsB.boys do better in co-educational classesC.single-sex classes are better than co-educational classesD.girls do better than boysQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are unique -- a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy: whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the world's only liberal arts university for deaf people.When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course insigning. But Stokoe noticed something odd: among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher. Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the "hand talk" his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing as "substandard". Stokoe's idea was academic heresy (异端邪说).It is 37 years later. Stokoe -- now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture - is having lunch at a caf6 near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space. "What I said," Stokoe explains, "is that language is not mouth stuff- it's brain stuff."16. The study of sign language is thought to be .A.an approach to simplifying the grammatical structure of a languageB.an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of languageC. a challenge to traditional views on the nature of languageD. a new way to took at the learning of language17. The present growing interest in sign language was stimulated by .A. a leading specialist in the study Of liberal artsB.an English teacher in a university for the deafC.Some senior experts in American Sign LanguageD. a famous Scholar in the study of the human brain18. According to Stokoe, sign language is .A.an international languageB. a substandard languageC.an artificial languageD. a genuine language19. Most educators objected to Stokoe's idea because they thought .a language should be easy to use and understandsign language was too artificial to be widely accepteda language could only exist in the form of speech soundssign language was not extensively used even by deaf people20. Stokoe's argument is based on his belief that .language is a product of the brainlanguage is a system of meaningful codessign language is derived from natural languagesign language is as efficient as any other languageQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:Every year 100 million holiday-makers are drawn to the Mediterranean. With one third of theworld's tourist trade, it is the most popular of all the holiday destinations; it is also the most polluted. It has only 1 per cent of the world's sea surface, but carries more than half the oil and tar floating on the waters. Thousands of factories pour their poison into the Mediterranean, and almost every city, town and village on the coast sends its sewage, untreated, into the sea.The result is that the Mediterranean, which nurtured so many civilizations, is gravely ill—the first of the seas to fall victim to the abilities and attitudes that evolved around it. And the pollution does not merely keep back life of the sea—it threatens the people who inhabit and visit its shores.The mournful form of disease is caused by sewage. Eighty-five per cent of the waste from the Mediterranean's 120 coastal cities is pushed out in to the waters where their people and visitors bathe and fish. What is more, most cities just drop it in straight off the beach; rare indeed are the places like Cannes and Tel Aviv which pipe it even half a mile offshore.Not surprisingly, vast areas of the shallows are awash with bacteria and it doesn't take long for these to reach people. Professor William Brumfitt of the Royal Free Hospital once calculated that anyone who goes for a swim in the Mediterranean has a one in seven chance of getting some sort of disease. Other scientists say this is an overestimate; but almost all of them agree that bathers are at risk. Industry adds its own poisons. Factories cluster round the coastline, and even the most modern rarely has proper waste treatment plant. They do as much damage to the sea as sewage. But the good news is that the countries of the Mediterranean have been coming together to work out how to save their common sea.21. The causes of the Mediterranean's pollution is ____.A.the oil and tar floating on the waterB.many factories put their poison into the seaC.untreated sewage from the factories and coastal citiesD.there are some sorts of diseases in the sea22. Which of following consequence of a polluted sea is not true according to the passage?A.Bring up so many civilizations.B.Various diseases in the sea.C.It threatens the inhabitants and travelers.D.One in seven chance of getting some sort of disease swimming in the sea.23. The word “sewage” refers to ____.A.poisonB.wasteC.liquid materialD.solid material24. Why does industry do much damage to the sea?A.Because most factories have proper waste treatment plants.B.Because many factories have not proper waste treatment plants even the most modern one.C.Because just the modern factory has a waste treatment plant.D.Because neither ordinary factories nor most moplants.25. What is the passage mainly about?A.Save the world.B.How the people live in the Mediterranean sea.C.How the industry dangers the sea.D.Beware the dirty sea.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage:Henry Ford, the famous U.S. inventor and car manufacturer, once said, "The business of America is business." By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is based on the values of the business world.Few would argue with Ford's statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as "the entertainment industry" or "show business."The positive side of Henry Ford's statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are produced in abundance (大量地) because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system crates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.The negative side of Henry Ford's statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business. And the term big business -- referring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizing ---- the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high -- creates feelings of insecurity for many.26. The United States is a typical countryA.which encourages free trade at home and abroadB.where people's chief concern is how to make moneyC.where all businesses are managed scientificallyD.which normally works according to the federal budget27. The influence of business in the U.S. is evidenced by the fact thatA.most newspapers are run by big businessesB.even public organizations concentrate on working for profitsC.Americans of all professions know how to do businessD.even arts and entertainment are regarded as business28. According to the passage, immigrants choose to settle in the U.S., dreaming thatA.they can start profitable businesses thereB.they can be more competitive in businessC.they will make a fortune overnight thereD.they will find better chances of employment29. Henry Ford's statement can be taken negatively because1.working people are discouraged to fight for their fights2.there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalists3.there is a conflicting relationship between big corporations and labor4.public services are not run by the federal government30. A company's efforts to keep expenses low and profits high may result inA.reduction in the number of employeesB.improvement of working conditionsC.fewer disputes between labor and managementD. a rise in workers' wagesPart Three ClozeDirections:For each blank in the following passage, choose the best answer from the choices given below.

Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:The classroom is a man's world, where boys get two-thirds of the teachers' attention -- even when they are in a minority--taunt (辱骂) the girls without punishment, and receive praise for sloppy work that would not be tolerated from girls. They are accustomed to being teachers' pets, and if girls get anything like equal treatment, they will protest eagerly and even wreck lessons.These claims are made in a book out this week, written by Dale Spender, a lecturer at the London University Institute of Education. She argues that discrimination against girls is so deeply in co-educational schools that single-sex classes are the only answer.Her case is based on tape-recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons. Many of them, like Spender, had deliberately se t out to give girls a fair chance. “Sometimes,” says Spender, “I have even thought I have gone too far and have spent more time with the girls than the boys.” The tapes proved otherwise. In 10 taped lessons (in secondary school and college), Spender never gave the girls more than 42 per cent of her attention (the average was 38 percent) and never gave the boys less than 58 percent. There were similar results for other teachers, both male and female.In other words, when teachers give girls more than a third of their time, they feel that they are cheating the boys of their rightful share. And so do the boys themselves. “She always asks the girls all the questions,” said one boy in a classroom where 34 per cent of the teachers' time was allocated to girls. “She doesn't like boys, and just listens to the girls.” said a boy in another class, where his sex got63 per cent of teacher attention. Boys regarded two-thirds of the teacher's time as a fair deal — and when they got less they caused trouble in class and e ven complained to higher authority. “It's important to keep their attention,” said one teacher, “Otherwise, they play you up something awful.”Spender concludes that, in mixed classes, if the girls are as boisterous and pushy as the boys, they are conside red “unladylike”, if they are docile and quiet, they are ignored.11. If boys are better treated in class, ____ would be better.A.single-sex classes and co-educational classesB.co-educational classesC.single-sex classesD.None of the above12. Dale Spender obtained the evidence for her claims by ____A.her own lessons in secondary school and collegeB.the other teachers' tape-recordingsC.both male and female teachersD.tape-recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons13. What are the boy's reactions when girls are given more attention?A.They will keep the teachers' attention again.B.They will make some trouble and complain to the headmaster.C.They will play up the teacher something awful.D.They will feel they are cheated by teachers.14. The word “boisterous” in the last paragraph probably means ____.A.roughB.braveC.troublesomeD.emotional15. The best title for this passage would be ____.A.boys are teachers' petsB.boys do better in co-educational classesC.single-sex classes are better than co-educational classesD.girls do better than boysQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are unique -- a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy: whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the world's only liberal arts university for deaf people.When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd: among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher. Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be nomore than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the "hand talk" his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing as "substandard". Stokoe's idea was academic heresy (异端邪说).It is 37 years later. Stokoe -- now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture - is having lunch at a caf6 near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space. "What I said," Stokoe explains, "is that language is not mouth stuff- it's brain stuff."16. The study of sign language is thought to be .A.an approach to simplifying the grammatical structure of a languageB.an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of languageC. a challenge to traditional views on the nature of languageD. a new way to took at the learning of language17. The present growing interest in sign language was stimulated by .A. a leading specialist in the study Of liberal artsB.an English teacher in a university for the deafC.Some senior experts in American Sign LanguageD. a famous Scholar in the study of the human brain18. According to Stokoe, sign language is .A.an international languageB. a substandard languageC.an artificial languageD. a genuine language19. Most educators objected to Stokoe's idea because they thought .a language should be easy to use and understandsign language was too artificial to be widely accepteda language could only exist in the form of speech soundssign language was not extensively used even by deaf people20. Stokoe's argument is based on his belief that .language is a product of the brainlanguage is a system of meaningful codessign language is derived from natural languagesign language is as efficient as any other languageQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:Every year 100 million holiday-makers are drawn to the Mediterranean. With one third of the world's tourist trade, it is the most popular of all the holiday destinations; it is also the most polluted. It has only 1 per cent of the world's sea surface, but carries more than half the oil and tar floating on the waters. Thousands of factories pour their poison into the Mediterranean, and almost every city, town and village on the coast sends its sewage, untreated, into the sea.The result is that the Mediterranean, which nurtured so many civilizations, is gravely ill—the first of the seas to fall victim to the abilities and attitudes that evolved around it. And the pollution does not merely keep back life of the sea—it threatens the people who inhabit and visit its shores.The mournful form of disease is caused by sewage. Eighty-five per cent of the waste from the Mediterranean's 120 coastal cities is pushed out in to the waters where their people and visitors bathe and fish. What is more, most cities just drop it in straight off the beach; rare indeed are the places like Cannes and Tel Aviv which pipe it even half a mile offshore.Not surprisingly, vast areas of the shallows are awash with bacteria and it doesn't take long for these to reach people. Professor William Brumfitt of the Royal Free Hospital once calculated that anyone who goes for a swim in the Mediterranean has a one in seven chance of getting some sort of disease. Other scientists say this is an overestimate; but almost all of them agree that bathers are at risk. Industry adds its own poisons. Factories cluster round the coastline, and even the most modern rarely has proper waste treatment plant. They do as much damage to the sea as sewage. But the good news is that the countries of the Mediterranean have been coming together to work out how to save their common sea.21. The causes of the Mediterranean's pollution is ____.A.the oil and tar floating on the waterB.many factories put their poison into the seaC.untreated sewage from the factories and coastal citiesD.there are some sorts of diseases in the sea22. Which of following consequence of a polluted sea is not true according to the passage?A.Bring up so many civilizations.B.Various diseases in the sea.C.It threatens the inhabitants and travelers.D.One in seven chance of getting some sort of disease swimming in the sea.23. The word “sewage” refers to ____.A.poisonB.wasteC.liquid materialD.solid material24. Why does industry do much damage to the sea?A.Because most factories have proper waste treatment plants.B.Because many factories have not proper waste treatment plants even the most modern one.C.Because just the modern factory has a waste treatment plant.D.Because neither ordinary factories nor most moplants.25. What is the passage mainly about?A.Save the world.B.How the people live in the Mediterranean sea.C.How the industry dangers the sea.D.Beware the dirty sea.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage:Henry Ford, the famous U.S. inventor and car manufacturer, once said, "The business of America is business." By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is based on the values of the business world.Few would argue with Ford's statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as "the entertainment industry" or "show business."The positive side of Henry Ford's statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are produced in abundance (大量地) because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system crates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.The negative side of Henry Ford's statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business. And the term big business -- referring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizing ---- the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high -- creates feelings of insecurity for many.26. The United States is a typical countryA.which encourages free trade at home and abroadB.where people's chief concern is how to make moneyC.where all businesses are managed scientificallyD.which normally works according to the federal budget27. The influence of business in the U.S. is evidenced by the fact thatA.most newspapers are run by big businessesB.even public organizations concentrate on working for profitsC.Americans of all professions know how to do businessD.even arts and entertainment are regarded as business28. According to the passage, immigrants choose to settle in the U.S., dreaming thatA.they can start profitable businesses thereB.they can be more competitive in businessC.they will make a fortune overnight thereD.they will find better chances of employment29. Henry Ford's statement can be taken negatively because1.working people are discouraged to fight for their fights2.there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalists3.there is a conflicting relationship between big corporations and labor4.public services are not run by the federal government30. A company's efforts to keep expenses low and profits high may result inA.reduction in the number of employeesB.improvement of working conditionsC.fewer disputes between labor and managementD. a rise in workers' wagesPart Three ClozeDirections:For each blank in the following passage, choose the best answer from the choices given below. Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.The space age officially began on October 4, 1957, 31 the Soviet Union launched the modest 185 pound SputnikⅠ, the first artificial satellite to orbit the earth. The following month, Russians successfully launched the 1100 pound SputnikⅡ, 32 carried into space the globe, a female dog named Laika, who suffocated(窒息) on the sixth day of the 33 because of a failure in the internal temperature of the craft. But the satellite itself orbited the earth for 162 days and 34on reentering the earth’s atmosphere.The United States, playing second fiddle(小提琴) to its superpower 35, orbited its first satellite, Explorer 1, on January 31,1958 . It was a lightweight, 18 pound craft, carrying not animals but sensitive instruments to study the 36 bands of energy in space known as the Van Allen radiation belts. Within 37 fifteen years man had gone to the moon, searching beneath its dry and dusty soil for 38 of life (there were not), and begun probing more distant 39 of the solar system?

The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the world's only liberal arts university for deaf people.When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd: among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher. Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the "hand talk" his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could thatlanguage be unlike any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing as "substandard". Stokoe's idea was academic heresy (异端邪说).It is 37 years later. Stokoe -- now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture - is having lunch at a caf6 near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space. "What I said," Stokoe explains, "is that language is not mouth stuff- it's brain stuff."16. The study of sign language is thought to be .A.an approach to simplifying the grammatical structure of a languageB.an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of languageC. a challenge to traditional views on the nature of languageD. a new way to took at the learning of language17. The present growing interest in sign language was stimulated by .A. a leading specialist in the study Of liberal artsB.an English teacher in a university for the deafC.Some senior experts in American Sign LanguageD. a famous Scholar in the study of the human brain18. According to Stokoe, sign language is .A.an international languageB. a substandard languageC.an artificial languageD. a genuine language19. Most educators objected to Stokoe's idea because they thought .a language should be easy to use and understandsign language was too artificial to be widely accepteda language could only exist in the form of speech soundssign language was not extensively used even by deaf people20. Stokoe's argument is based on his belief that .language is a product of the brainlanguage is a system of meaningful codessign language is derived from natural languagesign language is as efficient as any other languageQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:Every year 100 million holiday-makers are drawn to the Mediterranean. With one third of the world's tourist trade, it is the most popular of all the holiday destinations; it is also the most polluted. It has only 1 per cent of the world's sea surface, but carries more than half the oil and tar floating on the waters. Thousands of factories pour their poison into the Mediterranean, and almost every city, town and village on the coast sends its sewage, untreated, into the sea.The result is that the Mediterranean, which nurtured so many civilizations, is gravely ill—the first of the seas to fall victim to the abilities and attitudes that evolved around it. And the pollution does not merely keep back life of the sea—it threatens the people who inhabit and visit its shores.The mournful form of disease is caused by sewage. Eighty-five per cent of the waste from the Mediterranean's 120 coastal cities is pushed out in to the waters where their people and visitors bathe and fish. What is more, most cities just drop it in straight off the beach; rare indeed are the places like Cannes and Tel Aviv which pipe it even half a mile offshore.Not surprisingly, vast areas of the shallows are awash with bacteria and it doesn't take long for these to reach people. Professor William Brumfitt of the Royal Free Hospital once calculated that anyone who goes for a swim in the Mediterranean has a one in seven chance of getting some sort of disease. Other scientists say this is an overestimate; but almost all of them agree that bathers are at risk. Industry adds its own poisons. Factories cluster round the coastline, and even the most modern rarely has proper waste treatment plant. They do as much damage to the sea as sewage. But the good news is that the countries of the Mediterranean have been coming together to work out how to save their common sea.21. The causes of the Mediterranean's pollution is ____.A.the oil and tar floating on the waterB.many factories put their poison into the seaC.untreated sewage from the factories and coastal citiesD.there are some sorts of diseases in the sea22. Which of following consequence of a polluted sea is not true according to the passage?A.Bring up so many civilizations.B.Various diseases in the sea.C.It threatens the inhabitants and travelers.D.One in seven chance of getting some sort of disease swimming in the sea.23. The word “sewage” refers to ____.A.poisonB.wasteC.liquid materialD.solid material24. Why does industry do much damage to the sea?A.Because most factories have proper waste treatment plants.B.Because many factories have not proper waste treatment plants even the most modern one.C.Because just the modern factory has a waste treatment plant.D.plants.25. What is the passage mainly about?A.Save the world.B.How the people live in the Mediterranean sea.C.How the industry dangers the sea.D.Beware the dirty sea.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage:Henry Ford, the famous U.S. inventor and car manufacturer, once said, "The business of America is business." By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is based on the values of the business world.Few would argue with Ford's statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has abusiness section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as "the entertainment industry" or "show business."The positive side of Henry Ford's statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are produced in abundance (大量地) because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system crates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.The negative side of Henry Ford's statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business. And the term big business -- referring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizing ---- the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high -- creates feelings of insecurity for many.26. The United States is a typical countryA.which encourages free trade at home and abroadB.where people's chief concern is how to make moneyC.where all businesses are managed scientificallyD.which normally works according to the federal budget27. The influence of business in the U.S. is evidenced by the fact thatA.most newspapers are run by big businessesB.even public organizations concentrate on working for profitsC.Americans of all professions know how to do businessD.even arts and entertainment are regarded as business28. According to the passage, immigrants choose to settle in the U.S., dreaming thatA.they can start profitable businesses thereB.they can be more competitive in businessC.they will make a fortune overnight thereD.they will find better chances of employment29. Henry Ford's statement can be taken negatively because1.working people are discouraged to fight for their fights2.there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalists3.there is a conflicting relationship between big corporations and labor4.public services are not run by the federal government30. A company's efforts to keep expenses low and profits high may result inA.reduction in the number of employeesB.improvement of working conditionsC.fewer disputes between labor and managementD. a rise in workers' wagesPart Three ClozeDirections:For each blank in the following passage, choose the best answer from the choices given below.

The following month, Russians successfully launched the 1100 pound SputnikⅡ, 32 carried into space the globe, a female dog named Laika, who suffocated(窒息) on the sixth day of the 33 because of a failure in the internal temperature of the craft. But the satellite itself orbited the earth for 162 days and 34on reentering the earth’s atmosphere.The United States, playing second fiddle(小提琴) to its superpower 35, orbited its first satellite, Explorer 1, on January 31,1958 . It was a lightweight, 18 pound craft, carrying not animals but sensitive instruments to study the 36 bands of energy in space known as the Van Allen radiation belts. Within 37 fifteen years man had gone to the moon, searching beneath its dry and dusty soil for 38 of life (there were not), and begun probing more distant 39 of the solar system?

Green buildings can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices.Buildings account for 65 percent of total U.S. electricity use. But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of natural resources such as gasoline, and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on previously developed land, so that the buildings don’t destroy forests or other wild habitats (栖息地).Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that puts these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country’s first green residential high-rise building. According to Dettling, “We’ve reduced our energy consumption by one-third and our water by 50 percent.”Not everyone is leaping to move into a green building, however. Some people think that features such as solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Despite this, Dettling hopes that green buildings will become common in the future. “It’s going to be big,” she said.11. What do green buildings refer to nowadays?A. Buildings painted by green hands.B. Buildings covered with green plants.C. Buildings that are environment-friendly.D. Buildings like houses, factories, and offices.12. The word “Also” (line 2, para. 2)is used to ___.A. continue the discussion of total U.S. electricity use.B. Expand the topic of the reduction of energy and water use.C. Include the discussion of public transportation.D. Shift the focus to the topic of the environment protection.13. In terms of land use, green buildings are constructed by ____.A. making use of the developed land.B. Developing new land.C. Clearing the ground in a forest.D. Draining wild habitats.14. Why are some people NOT so enthusiastic about green buildings?A. Because they do not jump into a green building.B. Because they fail to move into a green building.C. Because they find it more costly to live in a green building.D. Because they think that solar panels still cost too much.15. What did M arty Dettling mean when she said “It’s going to be big”?A. Green buildings have a great potential.B. People expect bigger green buildings.C. Green buildings will be larger in size.D. People prefer to live in bigger buildings.Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Theme-park-bound bargain seekers would be wise to spend some time surfing online before they get in line at the parks this summer.A growing number of these attractions now allow customers to print e-tickets at home with large discounts off the gate price, in part to spur attendance that has declined in recent years.After boom times in the late 1990s, theme park attendance began to decrease, with an overall decline of about 4% over the past few years at North America’s 50 most-visited establishments, says James Zoltak, editor of Amusement Business.“The bloom was off the rose as we turned the corner into 2000, so there’s more discounting now,” he says.Discounting isn’t new to an industry that has long partnered with other commerci al enterprises, such as soft drink companies, to offer deals. The e-ticketing adds a new opportunity that not only brings savings but convenience as well, since it allows visitors to avoid the line at the gate.“If you can get in early before the lines fill up, you're getting more for your money,” says Robert Niles of the website Theme Park Insider.16. The word “attractions” (line 1, para. 2) refers to ___.A. theme parksB. bargainsC. e-ticketsD. discounts17. Why do more and more theme parks offer large discounts off gate price?A. To get in line at the parks this summer.B. To encourage more people to come to the parks.C. To enable people to get e-tickets at home.D. To reduce the attendance figure.18. What does the se ntence “The bloom was off the rose” mean?A. the rose in the theme park was out of bloom.B. the year 2000 was lucky for the 50 establishments.C. the theme park attendance was like the rose.D. the best time for the theme parks was gone.19. What is the new opportunity e-ticketing brings to the theme parks?A. The theme park industry will be more profitable.B. Soft drink companies will be better partners of the parks.C. The tour to the parks will be more convenient.D. Visitors to the parks will have more discounts.20. The last sentence of this passage is based on the idea that ____.A. it is wise to surf online.B. discounting isn’t everything.C. e-ticketing attracts more partners.D. time is money.Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage:One thing almost everyone is agreed on , including Americans, is that they place a very high valuation upon success. Success does not necessarily mean material rewards, but recognition of some sort—preferably measurable. If a boy turns out to be a preacher(传道者) instead of a businessman, that’s all right. But the bigger his church is, the more successful he is judged to be.A good many things contributed to this accent on success. There was the Puritan(清教徒的) belief in the virtue of work, both for its own sake and because the rewards it brought were regarded as signs of God’s love. There was the richness of opportunity in a land waiting to be settled. There was the lack of a settled society with fixed ranks and classes, so that a man was certain to rise through achievement.There was the determination of an immigrant to gain in the new world what had been denied to him in the old, and on the part of his children an urge to throw off the immigrant onus(负担) by still more success and still more rise in a fluid and classless society. Brothers did not compete within the family for the favor of the parents as in Europe, but worked hard for success in the outer world, along paths of their own choosing.21. According to the first paragraph, ______.A. success is highly valued in American society.B. success surely brings material rewards.C. success equals measurable recognition.D. people agree on what success means.22. In this passage, the author indicates that _____.A. preachers are not as successful as businessmen.B. businessmen are not as successful as preachers.C. boys are advised to become preachers instead of businessmen.D. measurable success can also be achieved by preachers.23. The word “accent” (line 1, para. 2) most probably means ____.A. dialectB. emphasisC. attentionD. recognition24. Which of the following does NOT account for people’s desire for success?A. The Puritan belief in the virtue of work.B. Richness of opportunities in the new world.C. Lack of fixed social ranks and classes.D. Determination to deny the values of the new world.25. It is suggested in the last paragraph that _______ in the old world.A. children tended to compete for the favor of their parentsB. children were determined to throw off their immigrant identitiesC. children were urged to achieve success in the fluid and classless societyD. children worked hard for success along paths chosen by their parents.

They are accustomed to being teachers' pets, and if girls get anything like equal treatment, they will protest eagerly and even wreck lessons.These claims are made in a book out this week, written by Dale Spender, a lecturer at the London University Institute of Education. She argues that discrimination against girls is so deeply in co-educational schools that single-sex classes are the only answer.Her case is based on tape-recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons. Many of them, like Spender, had deliberately set out to give girls a fair chance. “Sometimes,” says Spender, “I have even thought I have gone too far and have spent more time with the girls than the boys.” The tapes proved otherwise. In 10 taped lessons (in secondary school and college), Spender never gave the girls more than 42 per cent of her attention (the average was 38 percent) and never gave the boys less than 58 percent. There were similar results for other teachers, both male and female.In other words, when teachers give girls more than a third of their time, they feel that they are cheating the boys of their rightful share. And so do the boys themselves. “She always asks the girls all the questions,” said one boy in a classroom where 34 per cent of the teachers' time was allocated to girls. “She doesn't like boys, and just listens to the girls.” said a boy in another class, where his sex got 63 per cent of teacher attention. Boys regarded two-thirds of the teacher's time as a fair deal — and when they got less they caused trouble in class and even complained to higher authority. “It's importantto keep their attention,” said one teacher, “Otherwise, they play you up something awful.”Spender concludes that, in mixed classes, if the girls are as boisterous and pushy as the boys, they are considered “unladylike”, if they are docile and quiet, they are ignored.11. If boys are better treated in class, ____ would be better.A.single-sex classes and co-educational classesB.co-educational classesC.single-sex classesD.None of the above12. Dale Spender obtained the evidence for her claims by ____A.her own lessons in secondary school and collegeB.the other teachers' tape-recordingsC.both male and female teachersD.tape-recordings of her own and other teachers' lessons13. What are the boy's reactions when girls are given more attention?A.They will keep the teachers' attention again.B.They will make some trouble and complain to the headmaster.C.They will play up the teacher something awful.D.They will feel they are cheated by teachers.14. The word “boisterous” in the last paragraph probably means ____.A.roughB.braveC.troublesomeD.emotional15. The best title for this passage would be ____.A.boys are teachers' petsB.boys do better in co-educational classesC.single-sex classes are better than co-educational classesD.girls do better than boysQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are unique -- a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy: whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the world's only liberal arts university for deaf people.When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd: among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher. Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the "hand talk" his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing as"substandard". Stokoe's idea was academic heresy (异端邪说).It is 37 years later. Stokoe -- now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture - is having lunch at a caf6 near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space. "What I said," Stokoe explains, "is that language is not mouth stuff- it's brain stuff."16. The study of sign language is thought to be .A.an approach to simplifying the grammatical structure of a languageB.an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of languageC. a challenge to traditional views on the nature of languageD. a new way to took at the learning of language17. The present growing interest in sign language was stimulated by .A. a leading specialist in the study Of liberal artsB.an English teacher in a university for the deafC.Some senior experts in American Sign LanguageD. a famous Scholar in the study of the human brain18. According to Stokoe, sign language is .A.an international languageB. a substandard languageC.an artificial languageD. a genuine language19. Most educators objected to Stokoe's idea because they thought .A. a language should be easy to use and understandB.sign language was too artificial to be widely acceptedC. a language could only exist in the form of speech soundsD.sign language was not extensively used even by deaf people20. Stokoe's argument is based on his belief that .nguage is a product of the brainnguage is a system of meaningful codesC.sign language is derived from natural languageD.sign language is as efficient as any other languageQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:Every year 100 million holiday-makers are drawn to the Mediterranean. With one third of the world's tourist trade, it is the most popular of all the holiday destinations; it is also the most polluted. It has only 1 per cent of the world's sea surface, but carries more than half the oil and tar floating on the waters. Thousands of factories pour their poison into the Mediterranean, and almost every city, town and village on the coast sends its sewage, untreated, into the sea.The result is that the Mediterranean, which nurtured so many civilizations, is gravely ill—the first of the seas to fall victim to the abilities and attitudes that evolved around it. And the pollution does not merely keep back life of the sea—it threatens the people who inhabit and visit its shores.The mournful form of disease is caused by sewage. Eighty-five per cent of the waste from theMediterranean's 120 coastal cities is pushed out in to the waters where their people and visitors bathe and fish. What is more, most cities just drop it in straight off the beach; rare indeed are the places like Cannes and Tel Aviv which pipe it even half a mile offshore.Not surprisingly, vast areas of the shallows are awash with bacteria and it doesn't take long for these to reach people. Professor William Brumfitt of the Royal Free Hospital once calculated that anyone who goes for a swim in the Mediterranean has a one in seven chance of getting some sort of disease. Other scientists say this is an overestimate; but almost all of them agree that bathers are at risk. Industry adds its own poisons. Factories cluster round the coastline, and even the most modern rarely has proper waste treatment plant. They do as much damage to the sea as sewage. But the good news is that the countries of the Mediterranean have been coming together to work out how to save their common sea.21. The causes of the Mediterranean's pollution is ____.A.the oil and tar floating on the waterB.many factories put their poison into the seaC.untreated sewage from the factories and coastal citiesD.there are some sorts of diseases in the sea22. Which of following consequence of a polluted sea is not true according to the passage?A.Bring up so many civilizations.B.Various diseases in the sea.C.It threatens the inhabitants and travelers.D.One in seven chance of getting some sort of disease swimming in the sea.23. The word “sewage” refers to ____.A.poisonB.wasteC.liquid materialD.solid material24. Why does industry do much damage to the sea?A.Because most factories have proper waste treatment plants.B.Because many factories have not proper waste treatment plants even the most modern one.C.Because just the modern factory has a waste treatment plant.D.Because neither ordinary factories nor most modern ones have proper waste treatment plants.25. What is the passage mainly about?A.Save the world.B.How the people live in the Mediterranean sea.C.How the industry dangers the sea.D.Beware the dirty sea.Questions 26-30 are based on the following passage:Henry Ford, the famous U.S. inventor and car manufacturer, once said, "The business of America is business." By this he meant that the U.S. way of life is based on the values of the business world.Few would argue with Ford's statement. A brief glimpse at a daily newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every othersection. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal Reserve Bank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as "the entertainment industry" or "show business."The positive side of Henry Ford's statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better job. Jobs are produced in abundance (大量地) because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system crates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life.The negative side of Henry Ford's statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business. And the term big business -- referring to the biggest companies, is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety. Downsizing ---- the laying off of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high -- creates feelings of insecurity for many.26. The United States is a typical countryA.which encourages free trade at home and abroadB.where people's chief concern is how to make moneyC.where all businesses are managed scientificallyD.which normally works according to the federal budget27. The influence of business in the U.S. is evidenced by the fact thatA.most newspapers are run by big businessesB.even public organizations concentrate on working for profitsC.Americans of all professions know how to do businessD.even arts and entertainment are regarded as business28. According to the passage, immigrants choose to settle in the U.S., dreaming thatA.they can start profitable businesses thereB.they can be more competitive in businessC.they will make a fortune overnight thereD.they will find better chances of employment29. Henry Ford's statement can be taken negatively becauseA.working people are discouraged to fight for their fightsB.there are many industries controlled by a few big capitalistsC.there is a conflicting relationship between big corporations and laborD.public services are not run by the federal government30. A company's efforts to keep expenses low and profits high may result inA.reduction in the number of employeesB.improvement of working conditionsC.fewer disputes between labor and managementD. a rise in workers' wagesPart Three ClozeDirections:For each blank in the following passage, choose the best answer from the choices givenbelow. Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a short bar across the corresponding letter in the brackets.The space age officially began on October 4, 1957, 31 the Soviet Union launched the modest 185 pound SputnikⅠ, the first artificial satellite to orbit the earth. The following month, Russians successfully launched the 1100 pound SputnikⅡ, 32 carried into space the globe, a female dog named Laika, who suffocated(窒息) on the sixth day of the 33 because of a failure in the internal temperature of the craft. But the satellite itself orbited the earth for 162 days and 34 on reentering the earth’s atmosphere.The United States, playing second fiddle(小提琴) to its superpower 35 , orbited its first satellite, Explorer 1, on January 31,1958 . It was a lightweight, 18 pound craft, carrying not animals but sensitive instruments to study the 36 bands of energy in space known as the Van Allen radiation belts.
