第二外国语大学（原题）翻译硕士英语一、完形填空（全文录入，题目省略）：During the first many decades of this nation’s existence,the United States was a wide-open,dynamic country with a rapidly expanding economy.It was also a country that tolerated a large amount of cruelty and pain —poor people living in misery,workers suffering from exploitation.Over the years,Americans decided they wanted a little more safety and security.This is what happens as nations grow wealthier;they use money to buy civilization.Occasionally,our ancestors found themselves in a sweet spot.They could pass legislation that brought security but without a cost to vitality.But adults know that this situation is rare.In the real world,there’s usually a trade-off.The unregulated market wants to direct capital to the productive and the young.Welfare policies usually direct resources to the vulnerable and the elderly.Most social welfare legislation,even successful legislation,siphons money from the former to the latter.Early in this health care reform process,many of us thought we were in that magical sweet spot.We could extend coverage to the uninsured but also improve the system overall to lower costs.2/11【育明教育】中国考研考博专业课辅导第一品牌官方网站： 2That is,we thought it would be possible to reduce the suffering of the vulnerable while simultaneously squeezing money out of the wasteful system and freeing it up for more productive uses.That’s what the management gurus call a win-win.It hasn’t worked out that way.The bills before Congress would almost certainly ease the anxiety of the uninsured,those who watch with terror as their child or spouse grows ill,who face bankruptcy and ruin.And the bills would probably do it without damaging the care the rest of us receive.In every place where reforms have been tried —from Massachusetts to Switzerland —people come to cherish their new benefits.The new plans become politically untouchable.But,alas,there would be trade-offs.Instead of reducing costs,the bills in Congress would probably raise them.They would mean that more of the nation’s wealth would be siphoned off from productive uses and shifted into a still wasteful health care system.The authors of these bills have tried to foster efficiencies.The Senate bill would initiate several interesting experiments designed to make the system more effective —giving doctors incentives to collaborate,rewarding hospitals that provide quality care at lower cost.It’s possible that some of these experiments will bloom into potent systemic reforms.But the general view among independent health care economists is that these changes will not fundamentally bend the cost curve.The system after reform will look as it does today,only bigger and more expensive.Rather than pushing all of the new costs onto future generations,as past governments have done,the Democrats have admirably agreed to raise taxes.Over the next generation,the tax increases in the various bills could funnel trillions of dollars from the general economy into the medical system.Moreover,the current estimates almost certainly understate the share of the nation’s wealth that will have to be shifted.In these bills,the present Congress pledges that future Congresses will impose painful measures to cut Medicare payments and impose efficiencies.Future Congresses3/11【育明教育】中国考研考博专业课辅导第一品牌官方网站： 3rarely live up to these pledges.Somebody screams “Rationing!”and there is a bipartisan rush to kill even the most tepid cost-saving measure.After all,if the current Congress,with pride of authorship,couldn’t reduce costs,why should we expect that future Congresses will?The bottom line is that we face a brutal choice.Reform would make us a more decent society,but also a less vibrant one.It would ease the anxiety of millions at the cost of future growth.It would heal a wound in the social fabric while piling another expensive and untouchable promise on top of the many such promises we’ve already made.America would be a less youthful,ragged and unforgiving nation,and a more middle-aged,civilized and sedate one.We all have to decide what we want at this moment in history,vitality or security.We can debate this or that provision,but where we come down will depend on that moral preference.Don’t get stupefied by technical details.This debate is about values.二、阅读理解，回答问题：Obama Loses a RoundWhile the jury is still out on what President Obama’s China visit has achieved for the long term,the president has most decidedly lost the war of symbolism in his first close encounter with China.In status-conscious China,symbolism and protocol play a role that is larger than life.U.S.diplomatic blunders could reinforce Beijing’s mindset that blatant information control works,and that a rising China can trump universal values of open,accountable government.During Mr.Obama’s visit,the Chinese outmaneuvered the Americans in all public events,from the disastrous town hall meeting in Shanghai to the stunted press conference in Beijing.In characteristic manner,the Chinese tried to shut out the public,while the U.S.unwittingly cooperated.The final image of President Obama in China that circulated around the world is telling:A lone man walking up the steep slope of the Great Wall.The picture is in stark contrast to those of other U.S.presidents who had their photographs taken at the Great Wall surrounded by flag-waving4/11【育明教育】中国考研考博专业课辅导第一品牌官方网站： 4children or admiring citizens.Maybe Mr.Obama wanted a quiet moment for himself before returning home.But a president’s first visit to the wall is a ritual that needs to be properly framed.Mr.Obama could have waited until the next visit,when he could bring the first lady and the children.Instead,he went ahead by himself to pay tribute to China’s ancient culture.In return,the Chinese offered nothing,no popular receptions,not even the companionship of a senior Chinese leader.The trouble for the U.S.started at the town hall meeting two days earlier —a more scripted event than those organized with students for earlier U.S.presidents.There was no real dialogue,as a programmed audience,most of them Communist League Youth members,asked coached questions.The Chinese also rejected the U.S.request for live national coverage and defaulted on a promise to live-stream the meeting at ,the online version of China’s state-owned news agency.Mr.Obama scored a point when he managed to address the issue of Internet freedom after the U.S.ambassador,Jon Huntsman,fielded him the question from a Chinese netizen submitted online.Meanwhile,Chinese officials garnered from the meeting generous quotes from Mr.Obama affirming China’s achievements and America’s expressions of good will,which were turned into glowing headlines for the Chinese media.In this round of the propaganda skirmish,the U.S.scored one point while China reaped a handful.Mr.Obama was similarly shut out from addressing the public in Beijing.At the Beijing press conference,President Hu Jintao and President Obama read prepared statements and would not take questions from reporters.“This was an historic meeting between the two leaders,and journalists should have had the opportunity to ask questions,to probe beyond the statements,”protested Scott McDonald,the president of China’s Foreign Correspondents Club,but to no avail.In a final dash to break through the information blockade,the Obama team offered an exclusive interview to Southern Weekend,China’s most feisty newspaper,based in Guangzhou.Once again,journalists’questions were programmed and the paper censored.In protest,the paper prominently displayed vast white spaces on the first and second page of the edition that carried the interview.Propaganda officials are investigating this act of defiance.5/11【育明教育】中国考研考博专业课辅导第一品牌官方网站： 5Only the Obama team knows for sure how they allowed themselves to be outmaneuvered.Unwittingly,the U.S.helped to produce a package of faux public events.Pundits argued that the visitors were not supposed to impose the “American way”on China and that America needs to respect Chinese practices.The argument is both patronizing and condescending.Increasingly,the Chinese public has been clamoring for greater official transparency and accountability,while the Chinese government has been making progress on these fronts.No one in his right mind would ask Mr.Obama to lecture Beijing on human rights.But the Chinese public deserves better accounting,no less than Americans citizens.To their credit,U.S.officials did try to get their message out online.But it was the Chinese bloggers who were most active in challenging official information control.They at least fought the good fight with growing confidence,a fight the Americans seem unable to wage effectively.三、写作。

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 write your answer on the Answer Sheet with the question number 51 to 65.Text AWhether the eyes are “the windows of the soul” is debatable; that they are intensely important in interpersonal communication is a fact. During the first two months of a baby’s life, the stimulus that produces a smile is a pair of eyes. The eyes need not be real: a mask with two dots will produce a smile. Significantly, a real human face with eyes covered will not motivate a smile, nor will the sight of only one eye when the face is presented in profile. This attraction to eyes as opposed to the nose or mouth continues as the babymatures. In one study, when American four-year-olds were asked to draw people, 75 percent of them drew people with mouths, but 99 percent of them drew people with eyes. In Japan, however, where babies are carried on their mother’s back, infants do not acquire as much attachment to eyes as they do in other countries. As a result, Japanese adults make little use of the face either to encode(把…编码) or decode (解码) meaning. In fact, Argyle reveals that the “proper place to focus one’s gaze during a conversation in Japan is on the neck of one’s conversation partner.”The role of eye contact in a conversational exchange between two Americans is well defined: speakers make contact with the eyes of their listeners for about one second, then glance away as they talk; in a few moments they re-establish eye contact with the listeners or reassure themselves that their audience is still attentive, then shift their gaze away once more. Listeners, meanwhile, keep their eyes on the face of the speaker, allowing themselves to glance away only briefly. It is important they be looking at the speaker at the precise moment when the speaker re-establishes eye contact: if they are not looking, the speaker assumes that they are disinterested and either will pause until eye contact is resumed or will terminate the conversation. Just how critical this eye maneuvering is to the maintenance of conversational flow becomes evident when two speakers are wearing dark glasses: there maybe a sort of traffic jam of words caused by interruption, false starts, and unpredictable pauses.51.The author is convinced that the eyes are _____.A. of extreme importance in expressing feelings and exchanging ideasB. something through which one can see a person’s inner worldC. of considerable significance in making conversations interestingD. something the value of which is largely a matter of long debate52.Babies will not be stimulated to smile by a person _____.A. whose front view is fully perceivedB. whose face is seen from the sideC. whose face is covered with a maskD. whose face is free of any covering53.According to the passage, the Japanese fix their gaze on their conversation partner’s neck because _____.A. they don’t like to keep their eyes on the face of the speakerB. they need not communicate through eye contactC. they don’t think it polite to have eye contactD. they didn’t have much opportunity to communicate through eye contact in babyhood54.According to the passage, a conversation between two Americans may break down due to _____.A. one temporarily glancing away from the otherB. eye contact of more than one secondC. improperly-timed ceasing of eye contact.D. constant adjustment of eye contact55.To keep a conversation flowing smoothly, it is better for the participants ______.A. not to wear dark spectaclesB. not to make any interruptionsC. not to glance away from each otherD. not to make unpredictable pausesText BClothes play a critical part in the conclusions we reach by providing clues to who people are, who they are not, and who they would like to be. They tell us a good deal about the wearer’s background, personality, status, mood, and social outlook.Since clothes are such an important source of social information, we can use them to manipulate people’s impression of us. Our appearance assumes particular significance in the initial phases of interaction that is likely to occur. An elderly middle-class man or woman may be alienated by a young adult who is dressed in an unconventional manner, regardless of the person’s education, background, or interests.People tend to agree on what certain types of clothes mean. Adolescentgirls can easily agree on the lifestyles of girls who wear certain outfits (套装), including the number of boyfriends they likely have had and whether they smoke or drink. Newscasters, or the announcers who read the news on TV, are considered to be more convincing, honest, and competent when they are dressed conservatively. And college students who view themselves as taking an active role in their interpersonal relationships say they are concerned about the costumes they must wear to play these roles successfully. Moreover, many of us can relate instances in which the clothing we wore changed the way we felt about ourselves and how we acted. Perhaps you have used clothing to gain confidence when you anticipated a stressful situation, such as a job interview or a court appearance.In the workplace, men have long had well-defined precedents and role models for achieving success. It has been otherwise for women. A good many women in the business world are uncertain about the appropriate mixture of “masculine” and “feminine” attributes they should convey by their professional clothing. The variety of clothing alternatives to women has also been greater than that available for men. Male administrators tend to judge women more favorably for managerial positions when the women display less “feminine” grooming (打扮) --- shorter hair, moderate use of makeup, and plain tailored clothing. As one male administrator confessed, “An attractive woman is definitely going to get a longer interview, but she won’t get a job.”56. According to the passage, the way we dress _____.A. provides clues for people who are critical of usB. indicates our likes and dislikes in choosing a careerC. has a direct influence on the way people regard usD. is of particular importance when we get in age57. From the third paragraph of the passage, we can conclude that young adults tend to believe that certain types of clothing can _______.A. change people’s conservative attitudes towards their lifestylesB. help young people make friends with the opposite sexC. make them competitive in the job marketD. help them achieve success in their interpersonal relationships58. The word “precedents” (Sentence 1, Para. 4) probably refers to _____.A. early acts for men to follow as examplesB. particular places for men to occupyC. things that men should agree uponD. men’s beliefs that everything in the world has already been decided59. According to the passage, many career women find themselves in difficult situations because _____.A. the variety of professional clothing is too wide for them to chooseB. women are generally thought to be only good at being fashion modelsC. men are more favorably judged for managerial positionsD. they are not sure to what extent they should display their femininequalities through clothing60. What is the passage mainly about?A. Dressing for effect.B. How to dress appropriately.C. Managerial positions and clothing.D. Dressing for the occasionText CThere are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. We can call these people “generalists”. And these “generalists” are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other people’s work, to begin it and judge it. The specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a “trained” man; and his educational background is properly technical orprofessional. The generalist --- and especially the administrator --- deals with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educated” man; and the humanities (人文学) are his strongest foundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in a particular field.Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you, but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.61. There is an increasing demand for __________.A. all-round people in their own fieldsB. people whose job is to organize other people’s workC. generalists whose educational background is either technical orprofessionalD. specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others62. The specialist is ______.A. a man whose job is to train other peopleB. a man who has been trained in more than one fieldC. a man who can see the forest rather than the treesD. a man whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters63. The administrator is _______. .A. a “trained” man who is more a specialist than a generalistB. a man who sees the trees as well as the forestC. a man who is very strong in the humanitiesD. a man who is an “educated” specialist64. During your training period, it is important________.A. to try to be a generalistB. to choose a profitable jobC. to find an organization which fits youD. to decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalist65. A man’s first job ________.A. is never the right job for himB. should not be regarded as his final jobC. should not be changed or people will become suspicious of his ability to hold any job.D. is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final job.VI Translation：（15 points）Directions：Translate the following into Chinese.Write your answer on the answer sheet.66. Psychologists have been studying specifically the possible link between persistence and health. On the one hand, it seems that persistence increases the chance you’ll succeed in the long term, and that personal success is closely linked to well-being. Think of successful people you know personally, and look back over their lives. Have they always been clear about where they’re going in their lives, and now that they have arrived, are they happy and healthy? Some are, perhaps.67. Walking is the best exercise for physical health. The impact of weight on your limbs and joints will strengthen them against bone disease, and although this happens more with older people, it’s never too late to build up bone density. It increases circulation and makes your metabolism work faster. This means you’ll burn more calories, and the nutrients from food will be absorbed by your body in a more efficient way. This will also encourage you to drink more water, which will improve digestion and clean your system.Among many benefits is the glow of good health. Walking is also good for protection against heart disease and can lower cholesterol.68. Broadly speaking, human beings may be divided into three classes: those who are toiled to death, those who are worried to death, and those who are bored to death. It is no use offering the manual laborer, tired out with a hard week's sweat and effort, the chance of playing a game of football or baseball on Saturday afternoon. It is no use inviting the politician or the professional or businessman, who has been working or worrying about serious things for six days, to work or worry about trifling things at the weekend.VII. Composition (20 points)Directions: You stay with a local family when you attended a training program in New Zealand. You returned to your home country in a hurry and found that you had left your laptop computer in the family. Write a letter to the family, thanking them for their hospitality. Describe your computer and where it is and ask the host to send it back to you. Your letter should be no less than 120 words.Write your composition on the answer sheet.。

There is one thing you should never forget —send a postcard.Postcards have 170 years of history in the UK. By the 20th century, trains became a cheap and easy way to travel. More people went on holiday to the seaside. There were no cell phones, so they sent postcards to let others know they arrived safely. Those postcards were usually seaside pictures, such as beaches and traditional foods like fish and chips.Today, most postcards picture local scenic photos or drawings. Others may be funny, with jokes on the front.People usually write words to express ‘they miss someone’ on their postcards. It’s common to end with ‘thinking of you’. The most famous postcard words are ‘wish you were here’.Modern postcards also celebrate British humour. They often make fun of the British weather. For example, some postcards show the rain pouring down on an empty beach. This humour keeps postcards popular in Britain.36. Why did people like to send postcards during a holiday?A.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1What would you do with 590m? This is now a question for Gloria Mackenzie, an 84-year-old widow who recently emerged from her small, tin-roofed house in Florida to collect the biggest undivided lottery jackpot in history. If she hopes her new-found for tune will yield lasting feelings of fulfillment, she could do worse than read Happy Money by Elizabeth Dumn and Michael Norton.These two academics use an array of behavioral research to show that the most rewarding ways to spend money can be counterintuitive. Fantasies of great wealth often involve visions of fancy cars and extravagant homes. Yet satisfaction with these material purchases wears off fairly quickly what was once exciting and new becomes old-hat; regret creeps in. It is far better to spend money on experiences, say Ms Dumn and Mr Norton, like interesting trips, unique meals or even going to the cinema. These purchases often become more valuable with time-as stories or memories-particularly if they involve feeling more connected to others.This slim volume is packed with tips to help wage slaves as well as lottery winners get the most "happiness bang for your buck." It seems most people would be better off if they could shorten their commutes to work, spend more time with friends and family and less of it watching television (something the average American spends a whopping two months a year doing, and is hardly jollier for it).Buying gifts orgiving to charity is often more pleasurable than purchasing things for oneself, and luxuries are most enjoyable when they are consumed sparingly. This is apparently the reason MacDonald's restricts the availability of its popular McRib - a marketing trick that has turned the pork sandwich into an object of obsession.Readers of “HappyMoney” are clearly a privileged lot, anxious about fulfillment, not may not quite buy happiness, but people in wealthier countries are generally happier than those in poor ones. Yet the link between feeling good and spending money on others can be seen among rich and poor people around the world, and scarcity enhances the pleasure of most things for most people. Not everyone will agree with the authors’ policy ideas, which range from mandating more holiday time to reducing tax incentives for American homebuyers. But most people will come away from this book believing it was money well spent。

Et puis, il y a ceux qui vont au cinéma une fois de temps en temps pour se distraire.Mais il faut signaler que les directeurs se plaignent de la baisse régulière du nombre d’entrées. Il paraît que plus de la moitié des Français ne vont jamais au cinéma! Il faut dire que la télévision concurrence assez le cinéma par la diffusiond’un nombre considérable de films, et que le prix du billet du cinéma est de plus en plus élevé: près de 6 euros par personne. Ça fait chère! Surtout si on va en famille. En plus, à la sortie du cinéma, en général, on aime bien aller dans un café, boire un verre et discuter un peu...Alors les efforts pour inciter les gens à se rendre au cinéma sont nombreux: tarifs réduits, le lundi pour tout le monde. Et si vous avez la chance de posséder une carte d’étudiant, les places seront moins chères pour vous du lundi au vendredi après-midi!Depuis quelques années, il y a « la Journée du cinéma », qui a lieu tous les ans au mois de juin. Vous achetez un billet qui est valable pour toute la journée, et vous pouvez aller voir autant de films que vous le désirez. Mais évidemment, ce jour-là, vous devez faire la queue... Car il y a « un monde fou » qui se presse à l’entrée des salles obscures.Pour connaître les programmes des cinémas en France, c’est très facile. A Paris, il suffit de se procurer une petite revue hebdomadaire qui indiquera tout sur les salles, les films et les horaires. En province, le journal local consacre quotidiennement une page aux spectacles dans laquelle se trouve les programmes des cinémas de la ville. Et puis, on peut aussi s’informer tout simplement par le téléphone. En France, le programme des cinémas change tous les mercredis.Et pour finir, pour les cinéphiles, il existe en France une dizaine de revue de cinéma; les plus lues sont les: « Cahiers du cinéma » et « Première ».38.

De moins en moins de Français vont au cinéma.B. La plupart des Français ne vont jamais au cinéma.C. La télévision fait concurrence avec le cinéma quant à la diffusion de films.D. Les entrées du cinéma coûtent bon marché.41. Après avoir vu un film au cinéma, souvent qu’est-ce qu’on aime faire ?A. On aime aller prendre quelque chose au café.B. On aime parler un peu du film qu’on vient de voir en buvant quelque chose.C. On aime discuter, dans un café, sur ce qui se passe dans la vie en buvant quelque chose.D. On aime aller dans un café pour dépenser plus.42. D’après le texte, quelles mesures qu’on doit prendre pour que les gens aillent plus au cinéma ?A. Distri buer plus de cartes d’étudiants à prix réduits.B. Donner un tarif privilégié aux étudiants le lundi et le vendredi.C. Acheter des chaises moins chères mais de bonne qualité.D. Diminuer le prix des entrées le lundi pour tout le monde et les après-midi en semaine pour les étudiants.43. Pendant « La Journée du cinéma », quelle description suivante n’ est-elle pas correcte?A. Cette journée a lieu toujours en juin.B. On doit faire la queue pour acheter un billet.C. On peut acheter un billet pour voir un film.D. On a beaucoup de films à voir.44. La phrase il y a « un monde fou » veut dire:_____.A. Il y a un grand nombre de personnes.B. Beaucoup de gens sont devenus excités grâce aux films .C.

Choose the best answer to each question, and write the letter representing your choice on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneKeeping a diary is bad for your health, psychologist said recently. They found that regular diarists were more likely than non-diarists to suffer from headaches, sleeplessness, digestive problems and social awkwardness.Their finding, published in the British magazine New Scientist, challenges assumptions that people find it easier to get over a painful event if they write about it.“We expected diary keepers to have some benefits, or be the same, but they were the worst off,” says Elaine Duncan of the Glasgow Caledonian University in Scotland. “In fact, you are probably much better off if you don‟t write anything at all.”Elaine Duncan, together with David Sheffield of Staffordshire University, England, studied 94 regular diarists **pared their health with that of 41 non-diarists. The subjects, all students at Staffordshire University, answered questions about their diary-keeping habits, and filled in a standard health questionnaire.Statistically, the diarists scored much worse on health measures than the non-diarists. Worst affected of all were those who had written about troubles from the past. “They were susceptible to headaches,” says Duncan.Although she does not have proof, Duncan speculates that diarists go against the usual trend of forgetting because they continually go over their misfortunes instead of a single, healthful outpouring to get rid of their troubles.31. According to some psychologists, regular diarists usually _____ at social gatherings.A. are talkativeB. feel ill at easeC. feel at homeD. are confident32.  It‟s a common notion that to write about a painful event may help you to_____.A. see it clearlyB. learn a lesson from itC. recover sooner from itD. know more about yourself33. The psychologists‟ finding indicates that regular diarists _____ than non-diarists.A. are more prone to ill healthB. are more affected and unnaturalC. score much worse on testsD. have more troubles in life34. In Elaine Duncan‟s opinion, those diarists who had written about their misfortunes were _____ to headaches.A. indispensableB. acceptableC. vulnerableD. unavoidable35. In this passage, the author warns us that _____.A. regular diarists may become problem studentsB. keeping a diary may generate health problemsC. diary writing may keep you away from othersD. your misfortune may haunt you all your lifePassage TwoIf you know something is bad for you, why can‟t you just stop it? 70% of smokers say they would like to quit. Drug and alcohol abusers struggle to give up addictions that hurt their bodies and tear apart families and friendships. And many of us have unhealthy excess weight that we could lose i f only we eat right and exercise more. Then why don‟t we do it?Most people know it is very hard to resist a bad habit—smoking, eating fatty foods, gambling—even if you managed to give it up a long time ago.Why are bad habits so hard to break? Scientists have been searching for answers. They have studied what happens in our brains as habits form. They have found clues to why bad habits, once established, are so difficult to kick. Their explanation is: Old habits don‟t die. They hibernate.When hab its are formed, the habitual activity creates neural activity patterns in the region of the brain responsible for habits, addiction and learning.These neural patterns can be changed. But when a stimulus from the old days returns, the dormant pattern can wake itself up, according to a new study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), US.“It is as though the brain keeps a memory of the habit context. This pattern can be triggered if the right habit **e back,” said Ann Greybiel, a professor of neuroscience at MIT.“The situation is familiar to anyone who is trying to lose weight or to control a well-ingrained habit. Just the signal of a piece of chocolate can reset all those good intentions.”Bad habits may be hard to break, but it can be done. One way is to avoid tempting situations. If you always stop for a donut on your way to work, try a different route. You can keep fatty foods, cigarettes, alcohol out of your home. If you can‟t avoid a tempting situation, you can prepare yourself in advance. Think how you want to handle it and mentally practice what you plan.36. In the opening paragraph, the author gets directly to his point by _____.A. giving informationB. describing detailsC. raising questionsD. making suggestions37. Researchers have found that old habits don‟t die. They only _____.A. become witheredB. change their natureC. fall asleep and restD. disguise themselves38. The word “dormant” in Para. 5 probably means _____.A. permanentB. invincibleC. powerfulD. inactive39. Once a bad habit is formed, _____.A. it will never be got rid ofB. it will be deep-rooted in your brainC. it poses a threat to your healthD. it becomes a time bomb in your body40. Which question best expresses the main idea of this passage?A. Why are bad habits so hard to break?B. What are the bad habits most people have?C. What harm do bad habits do to people?D. How can people break their bad habits?Passage ThreeA young woman was riding the subway with her small dog. The dog defecated and the other passengers demanded that the women clean it up.When the woman rudely refused, someone took pictures with a mobile phone and posted them on a popular South Korean website. The photos sparked a nationwide witch-hunt.Within days, her identity was established and people began requesting information online about her parents and relatives. Humiliated, the woman reportedly quit her university.This incident stirred a nationwide debate. Some said circulating pictures of the young woman was fine but revealing her personal information was not. Others said the woman‟s face should have been obscured, while still others said she didn‟t deserve any privacy.Such campaigns can lead to accidental damage: innocent people were mistakenly identified and their reputation hurt.In this case, the website of one university crashed when it was flooded with angry emails demanding the school take action against the young woman. The problem was the offender did not go to that school.“The internet is turning the whole society into a kangaroo court,” the Korean Herald newspaper wrote in an editorial.An article in US newspaper Washington Post said the incident “showed the power of the Internet and provided a peek into an unsettling corner of the future.”US legal expert Daniel Solove of George Washington University said the incident “involves a norm that most people would agree to—clean up after your dog. But having a permanent record of one‟s norm violations is raising the sanction to a whole new level…allowing bloggers to act as a cyber-police, tracking down norm violators and branding them with digital scarlet letter.”41. In the subway, the young woman‟s dog _____.A. barked at passengers nearbyB. gave off unpleasant smellC. occupied a seat and dirtied itD. left its droppings on the floor42. The young woman‟s rude behavior led to _____.A. her being expelled from her universityB. a search for her private information onlineC. her university‟s goo d reputation being ruinedD. a strong request for good manners in public places43. The author seems not to be in favor of such an online campaign mainly because _____.A. too many emails to be sent at the same time may crash a websiteB. public opinions may exert pressure upon the university concernedC. people may be targeted for something they did not do at allD. people‟s rights must be protected even if they are the offenders44. A kangaroo court is a(n) _____ courtA. civilB. unofficialC. criminalD. military45. What would be the best title for this passage?A. A Web Witch-HuntB. A Norm ViolatorC. A Nationwide DebateD. A Case of Mistaken IdentityPassage FourScientists have devised a way to determine roughly where a person has lived using a strand of hair, a technique that could help track the movements of criminal suspects or unidentified murder victims.The method relies on measuring how chemical variations in drinking water show up in people‟s hair.“You‟re what you eat and drink, and that‟s recorded in your hair,” said Thure Cerling, a geologist at the University of Utah.While U.S diet is relatively identical, water supplies vary. The differences result from weather patterns. The **position of rainfall changes slightly as rain clouds move.Most hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are stable, but traces of both elements are also present as heavier isotopes（同位素）. The heaviest rain falls first. As a result,storms that form over the Pacific deliver heavier water to California than to Utah.Similar patterns exist throughout the U.S. By measuring the proportion of heavier hydrogen and oxygen isotopes along a  strand of hair，scientists can construct ageographic timeline. Each inch of hair corresponds to about two months.Cerling‟s team collected tap water samples from 600 cities and constructed a map of the regional differences. They checked the accuracy of the map by testing 200 hair samples collected from 65 barber shops. They were able to accurately place the hair samples in broad regions roughly corresponding to the movement of rain systems.“It‟s not good for pinpointing,” Cerling said. “It‟s good for eliminating many possibilities.”Todd Park, a local detective, said the method has helped him learn more about an unidentified woman whose skeleton was found near Great Salt Lake. The woman was 5 feet tall. Police recovered 26 bones, a T-shirt and several strands of hair. When Park heard about the research, he gave the hair samples to the researchers. Chemical testing showed that over the two years before her death, she moved about every two months.She stayed in the Northwest, although the test could not be more specific than somewhere between eastern Oregon and western Wyoming.“It‟s still a substantial area,” Park said “But it narrows it way down for me.”46. What is the scientists‟ new discovery?A. One‟s hair growth has to do with the amount of water they drink.B. A person‟s hair may reveal where they have lived.C. Hair analysis accurately identifies criminal suspects.D. The **position of hair varies from person to person.47. What does the author mean by “You‟re what you eat and drink” (Line 1, Para.3)?A. Food and drink affect one‟s personality development.B. Food and drink preferences vary with individuals.C. Food and drink leave traces in one‟s body tissues.D. Food and drink are indispensable to one‟s existence.48. What is said about the rainfall in America‟s West?A. There is much more rainfall in California than in Utah.B. The water it delivers becomes lighter when it moves inland.C. Its **position is less stable than in other areas.D. It gathers more light isotopes as it moves eastward.49. What did Cerling‟ team produce in their research?A. A map showing the regional differences of tap water.B. A collection of hair samples from various barber shops.C. A method to measure the amount of water in human hair.D. A chart illustrating the movement of the rain system.50. What is the practical value of Cerling‟s resear ch?A. It helps analyze the quality of water in different regions.B. It helps the police determine where a crime is committed.C. It helps the police narrow down possibilities in detective work.D. It helps identify the drinking habits of the person under investigation.TranslationDirections: Translate the following English passage into Chinese. Write your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.51. Cameron Gets his Language Right on WeiboWhen British Prime Minister David Cameron returns home from his trip to China,he will be surprised by endless questions from thousands of his new Chinese friends on social media. Foreign politicians have tried to engage with Chinese fans through social media. Their teams waste no time uploading their schedules and speeches in English and other languages. However, these messages usually fail to reach the Chinese public, mainly because they are not written in Chinese.But Cameron‟s team has made a difference. It set up a micro blog for the prime minster on Sina Weibo. By Wednesday, Cameron had uploaded seven posts, even though he only started to use the tool last Friday. He has used the Chinese language in all of his posts, and two are bilingual. In terms of content, the posts are all simple and original, and accompanied by photos. They are not mere recaps of official documents，schedules and speeches.Though the prime minister has not responded to the **ments on his weibo account, he should be delighted by the responses from his followers, who can understand his messages in Chinese. His latest post has been forwarded **mented upon more than 20,000 times.Writing52.

He placed everything in his basket and went to the checkout.The young shop assistant tol d him the total price, $37.60. the boy was instantly disappointed and said he had only been given $20. He took out one thing at a time until he got d own to his $20. With eyes full of tears, he asked if he coul d phone his mum to pick him up. When he got through, it appeared that even this was inconvenient for his mother.He bit hard on his lip to stop the tears and walked outsid e to wait on the bench in front of the shop. This was all too much for the young assistant who hadserved him and she said, “ I wish I could afford to pay for the rest of his things.” One of the other girls said she had a few dollars. Then two others said they could help as well.These four young girls pool ed their money and found that they had more than enough money for the boy’s extra purchases. So they upgrad ed his pens and pencils to top-quality ones, then took the bag out to the boy on the seat. His young face changed from sadness to the most beautiful smile.

But our muscl es do not have to look like that to work well.(2)As a matter of fact, every time we write our name, we use the 20 different muscl es in our hand. Every time our heart beats, we use our cardiac muscl e(心肌) . When we eat our food, we use our tongue muscl es. We even use muscles when we open and cl ose our eyes. In fact, every time we move, we use some of the muscl es in our body.(3)A muscl e is mad e of tiny fibers. Fiber is a type of tissue that feels a little like a rubber band. Thousands of these fibers are packed together to make a singl e muscl e. We all have the same number of muscl es----about 700 or so. Men and women with big muscl es simply have thicker bundl es of fibers.(4)There are three different types of muscl es in our body. Smooth muscles are the ones that we cannot control. They work quietly to keep our body running. Also, they are the ones that help us to absorb our food. The cardiac muscl e makes the heart pump bl ood in and out. Skel etal muscl es are the ones that we can control. These are the muscl es that we use to raise our hands, or rid e our bicycles.(5)Even our face often uses muscl es. But if we want to save our energy, try smiling instead of frowning. Remember that it takes 17 muscl es in our face tosmil e, but 43 muscl es to frown!Task 1 A. What a muscl e consists of16.

When they cl ose late in the afternoon, other fl owers open.Biol ogical rhythms(生物节律), like the opening and cl osing of fl owers, happen all over nature. But not all of them are daily rhythms. Some, like the beating of our heart, happen every second. 26Scientists use the term biol ogical clock to d escribe the timing that controls biol ogical rhythms. 27 In some animals it is probably controll ed by the brain. In plants and other living things that have no brain, it must be something else.The migration of animals happens when a signal is sent out. For exampl e, when days become shorter, birds l eave the northern parts of the worl d and fly south where it is warm. 28Humans also have biological clocks that control their daily rhythms. When peopl e travel by plane from one continent to another, they often cross many time zones. Their internal cl ocks don’t seem to work correctly. We call this jet lag(时差).29 Peopl e who work night shifts also have problems with their biol ogicalcl ocks. They may not be as active as peopl e who work during the daytime.Biol ogical clocks control many rhythms of life. 30 Doctors arel ooking for new ways to make travelling more comfortabl e and medical treatment more effective.A. But where can you find it?B. This makes them feel tired.C. In the summer they fly back to have babies.D. We are learning more and more about them.E. Biol ogical clocks can be adjusted.F. Other rhythms are based on months, seasons or years.第五部分：填词补文（10*1.5）Life is DifficultWhat makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one.

And since life 33 an endl ess series of problems, it is 34 difficult and is full of pain as well as joy. Yet it is in this process of 35 and solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems call forth our 36 and our wisd om. It is only because of problems that we grow 37 and spiritually. When we want to encourage the 38 of the human spirit, we encourage the human capacity to solve problems, just as in school we d eliberately 39 problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of confronting and resolving that we learn. It is for this reason that 40 peopl e learn not to fear but actually to wel come problems and actually to welcome the pain of problems.A. meeting E. wise I. posesB. courage F. takes J. alwaysC. careful G. sadness K. uncomfortabl eD. growth H. set L. mentally第六部分：完型补文（10*1.5）Are There Truths in Dreams?Imagine waking up after dreaming(dream) about a terribl e plane crash.
