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.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.In the world of entertainment, TV talk shows have undoubtedly flooded every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style and format. But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows. Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "trash talk （废话）". The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society's moral catastrophes （灾难）, yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments （困境） of other people's lives. Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individual's quality of life. Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends every show with a "final word". He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show's main target audience are middle-class Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and stability to deal with life's tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society. These are 18- to 21-year-olds whose main troubles in life involve love, relationship, sex, money and peers. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the show's exploitation.While the two shows are as different as night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years now. Each one caters to a different audience whileboth have a strong following from large groups of fans. Ironically, both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world.31.Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are _________ .A) more family-orientedB) unusually popularC) more profoundD) relatively formal正确答案：C32.Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear distasteful, the audience _________ .A) remain fascinated by themB) are ready to face up to themC) remain indifferent to themD) are willing to get involved in them正确答案：A33.Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?A) A new type of robot.B) Racist hatred.C) Family budget planning.D) Street violence.正确答案：C34.Despite their differences, the two talk shows are both _______ .A) ironicalB) sensitiveC) instructiveD) cynical正确答案：B35.We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows __________ .A) have monopolized the talk show circuitB) exploit the weaknesses in human natureC) appear at different times of the dayD) are targeted at different audiences正确答案：DPassage Two Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Helen Admas Keller (1880 —1968), is an outstanding example of a person who conquered physical disabilities. A serious illness, which her doctor called "acute congestion of the stomach and brain," destroyed her sight and hearing at the age of about one. For almost five years, she grew up, as she later said, "wild and unruly, giggling and chuckling to express pleasure; kicking, scratching, uttering the choked screams of the deaf-mute to indicate the opposite." Then Helen's father took her to Alexander Graham Bell. He advised Keller to write to the Perkins Institution for the Blind in Boston. Shortly before the child was 7, Anne Sullivan arrived from Boston to teach her, who remained with Helen Keller until her death. Then Mary Agnes "Polly" Thomson, who had been Keller's secretary, took Sullivan's place.First she learned to write. Sullivan was able to make contact with thegirl's mind through the sense of touch. Gradually, the child was able to connect words with objects. Once she understood, her progress was rapid. Then she learned to speak. Until she was 10 years old, Keller could talk only with the sign language of the deaf-mute. She decided she would learn to speak and took lessons from a teacher of the deaf. By the time she was 16, she could communicate well enough to go to preparatory school and to college. Finally she helped others. After college, Keller became concerned with the conditions of the blind and the deaf-blind. She became active on the staffs of the American Foundation for the blind and of the American Foundation for overseas Blind. In her later years, she became especially interested in bettering the conditions for the blind in developing and war-ravaged countries. An enthusiastic and untiring traveler, she lectured on their behalf in more than 25 countries on every continent except Antarctica.Keller received many awards of great distinction. They include the Chevalier's ribbon of the French Legion of Honor, the Alumni Achievement Award of Radcliffe College, and decorations from many governments.What caused Helen Keller's losing sight and hearing?A) A car accident.B) A serious illness.C) It was caused when Helen Keller's mother was pregnant.36.D) It just happened, no one knew the reason.正确答案：B37.For several years before Sullivan came, _____ .A) Helen had to express herself in simple wordsB) Helen had been a wild and unruly little girlC) no one took care of Helen's studyD) Helen had been unable to make any sound正确答案：B38.At the age of ten, Helen _____ .A) had learned to speak a little bitB) could communicate well enoughC) began to go to schoolD) decide to learn to speak正确答案：D39.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A) Helen graduated from college when she was only 20.B) Helen devoted herself to the welfare of the blind and the deaf-blind.C) Helen called on wealthy people to give financial support to the disabled.D) Helen traveled around the world to give lectures.正确答案：C40.What can be inferred from the passage?A) Helen Keller owed her success to her strong character.B) Helen Keller has become a symbol of courage for many people.C) Helen Keller was an active worker for the poor people.D) The disabled will remember Helen Keller forever.正确答案：BPart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part.

But Barbar a and her friend s had beaten us to the playgr oundentran ce and they seemed to be waitin g for us. Barbar a said, "So now you're in the A class." She sounde d impres sed. "What's the A class?" I asked. Everyb ody made superi or yet faintl y enviou s giggli ng sounds. "Well, why did you thinkthe teache r movedyou to the frontof the room, dopey? Didn't you know you were in the C classbefore, way in the back of the room?"O f course I hadn't known.The Wenatc hee fifthgradewas bigger than my wholeschool whichhad been in NorthDakota, and the idea of subdiv ision s within a gradehad neveroccurr ed to me. The subdiv iding for the firstmarkin g period had been done before I came to the school, and l had never, in the six weekswhen I'd been there, talked to anyone long enough to find out aboutthe A, B, and C classe s.I stillcouldnot unders tandwhy that had made such a differ enceto Barbar a and her friend s. I didn’t yet know that it was shamef ul and dirtyto be a transi ent labore r and ridicu lousto be from NorthDakota. I though t living in a tent was more fun than living in a house.I didn't know that we were gypsie s, really(how that though t wouldhave excite d me then! ). It didn't occurto me that we were all looked upon as one more of the untrus twort hy natura l phenom ena, drifti ng here and therelike mistsor winds, I didn't know that I was the only childwho had camped on the Bauman n's land ever to get out of the C class.I only knew that for two happydays I walked to school with Barbar a and her friend s, played hopsco tch and jumped rope with them at classinterv als, and was even invite d into the housefor some ginger ale — a strang e drinkI had nevertasted before.31.The tone of this passag e as a wholeis __________.A) reflec tiveB) enthus iasti cC) impers onalD) defens ive正确答案：A32.The narrat or had most probab ly been placed in the C classbecaus e __________.A) she was a poor readerB) she had come from a smallschoolC) the markin g system confus ed herD) all childr en of transi ent labore rs were placed in the C class正确答案：D33.The basicreason why people in the commun ity distru stedthe transi ent worker s was that the transi ent worker s ________.A) tended to be lawbre akersB) had little school ingC) were afraid of strang ersD) were tempor ary reside nts正确答案：D34.Whichof the follow ing is NOT the charac teris tic of Gypsie s?A) Wander ing around the world.B) Making ginger ale in theirhouse.C) Neverplanti ng someth ing.D) Beingforeig nerswherev er they go.正确答案：B35.Immedi ately afterthe narrat or was movedto the A class, what was the attitu de of Barbar a and Barbar a's friend s toward s her?A) Dislik e.B) Accept ance.C) Apolog y.D) Jealou sy.正确答案：BPassag e TwoQuesti ons 36 to 40 are basedon the follow ing passag e."The world's enviro nment is surpri singl y health y. Discus s." If that were an examin ation topic,most studen ts wouldtear it apart,offeri ng a long list of compla ints:from localsmog to global climat e change, from the fellin g of forest s to the extinc tionof specie s. Yet the studen ts who should be giventhe highes t markswouldactual ly be thosewho agreed with the statem ent. The surpri se is how good things are, not how bad.A fterall, the world's popula tionhas more than triple d during this centur y, and worldoutput has risenhugely, so you wouldexpect the earthitself to have been affect ed. Indeed, if people lived, consum ed and produc ed things in the same way as they did in 1900(or 1950, or indeed1980), the worldby now wouldbe a pretty disgus tingplace: smelly, dirty, toxicand danger ous.B ut they don't. The reason s why they don't, and why the enviro nment has not been ruined, have to do with prices, techno logic al innova tion,social change and govern mentregula tionin respon se to popula r pressu re. That is why today's enviro nment al proble ms in the poor countr ies ought, in princi ple, to be solvab le.R aw materi als have not run out, and show no sign of doingso. What has happen ed is that everytime a materi al seemsto be runnin g short, the pricehas risenand, in respon se, people have looked for new source s of supply, triedto find ways to use less of the materi al, or looked for a new substi tute.For this reason prices for food fluctu ate, in respon se to harves ts, natura l disast ers and politi cal instab ility; and when they rise, it takessome time before new source s of supply become availa ble. But they always do, assist ed by new farmin g and crop techno logy.The long term trendhas been downwa rds.I t is whereprices and market s do not operat e proper ly that this benign trendbegins to stumbl e, and the genuin e proble ms arise. Market s cannot always keep the enviro nment health y.

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.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every normal person is expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language; but few people are even moderately proficient in pronouncing foreign languages. Now there are many reasons for this, some obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages much better than they do is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce, and consequently never set about tackling it in the right way. Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill —one that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of language, while recognizing the importance of good accent, tend to neglect, in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with speaking the language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught; the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this, and his whole attitude to the subject should get the student to feel that there is a matter worthy of receiving his close attention. So, there should be occasions when other aspects of English, such as grammar or spelling, are allowed for the moment to take second place.Apart from the question of the time given to pronunciation, there are two other requirements for the teacher: the first, knowledge; the second, technique.It is important that the teacher should be in possession of the necessary information. This can generally be obtained from books. It is possible to get from books some ideas of the mechanics of speech, and of what we call general phonetic theory. It is also possible in this way to get a clear mental picture of the relationship between the sounds of different languages, between the speech habits of English people and those, say, of your students. Unless the teacher has such a picture, any comments he makes on his students' pronunciation are unlikely to be of much use, and lesson time spent on pronunciation may well be time wasted.31.What does the author actually say about pronouncing foreign languages?A)There aren't many people who are even fairly good at it.B)Only a few people are really proficient.C)No one is really an expert in the skill.D)There are even some people who are moderately proficient.正确答案： C32.The author argues that going about the problem of pronunciation in the wrong way is __________ .A)an obvious cause of not grasping the problem correctlyB) a consequence of not grasping the problem correctlyC) a fundamental consequence of not speaking wellD)not an obvious cause of speaking poorly正确答案： C33.The best way of learning to speak a foreign language, the author suggests, is byA)picking it up naturally as a childB)learning from a native speakerC)undertaking systematic workD)not concentrating on pronunciation much正确答案： C 34.The value the student puts on correct speech habits depends on _______A)how closely he attends to the matterB)whether it is English that is being taughtC)his teacher's approach to pronunciationD)the importance normally given to grammar and spelling 正确答案： C35.How might the teacher find himself wasting lesson time?A)By making ill-informed comments upon pronunciation.B）By spending lesson time on pronunciation.C）By not using books on phonetics in the classroom.D）By not giving students a clear mental picture of the differences betweensounds.正确答案： DPassage Two Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.In the world of entertainment, TV talk shows have undoubtedly flooded every inch of space on daytime television. And anyone who watches them regularly knows that each one varies in style and format. But no two shows are more profoundly opposite in content, while at the same time standing out above the rest, than the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey shows. Jerry Springer could easily be considered the king of "trash talk （废话）". The topics on his show are as shocking as shocking can be. For example, the show takes the ever-common talk show themes of love, sex, cheating, guilt, hate, conflict and morality to a different level. Clearly, the Jerry Springer show is a display and exploitation of society's moral catastrophes （灾难）, yet people are willing to eat up the intriguing predicaments （困境） of other people's lives. Like Jerry Springer, Oprah Winfrey takes TV talk show to its extreme, but Oprah goes in the opposite direction. The show focuses on the improvement of society and an individual's quality of life. Topics range from teaching your children responsibility, managing your work week, to getting to know your neighbors.Compared to Oprah, the Jerry Springer show looks like poisonous waste being dumped on society. Jerry ends every show with a "final word". He makes a small speech that sums up the entire moral of the show. Hopefully, this is the part where most people will learn something very valuable.Clean as it is, the Oprah show is not for everyone. The show's main target audience are middle-class Americans. Most of these people have the time, money, and stability to deal with life's tougher problems. Jerry Springer, on the other hand, has more of an association with the young adults of society. These are 18- to 21-year-olds whose main troubles in life involve love, relationship, sex, money and peers. They are the ones who see some value and lessons to be learned underneath the show's exploitation.While the two shows are as different as night and day, both have ruled the talk show circuit for many years now. Each one caters to a different audience while both have a strong following from large groups of fans. Ironically, both could also be considered pioneers in the talk show world.36.Compared with other TV talk shows, both the Jerry Springer and the Oprah Winfrey are _________ .A)more family-orientedB)unusually popularC)more profoundD)relatively formal正确答案： C37.Though the social problems Jerry Springer talks about appear distasteful, the audience ___________ .A)remain fascinated by themB)are ready to face up to themC)remain indifferent to themD)are willing to get involved in them正确答案： A38.Which of the following is likely to be a topic of the Oprah Winfrey show?A) A new type of robot.B)Racist hatred.C)Family budget planning.D)Street violence.正确答案： C39.Despite their differences, the two talk shows are both ____ .A)ironicalB)sensitiveC)instructiveD)cynical正确答案： B40.We can learn from the passage that the two talk shows __________ .A)have monopolized the talk show circuitB)exploit the weaknesses in human natureC)appear at different times of the dayD)are targeted at different audiences正确答案： DPart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part.

A serious illness, which her doctor called "acute congestion of the stomach and brain," destroyed her sight and hearing at the age of about one. For almost five years, she grew up, as she later said, "wild and unruly, giggling and chuckling to express pleasure; kicking, scratching, uttering the choked screams of the deaf-mute to indicate the opposite." Then Helen's father took her to Alexander Graham Bell. He advised Keller to write to the Perkins Institution for the Blind in Boston. Shortly before the child was 7, Anne Sullivan arrived from Boston to teach her, who remained with Helen Keller until her death. Then Mary Agnes "Polly" Thomson, who had been Keller's secretary, took Sullivan's place.First she learned to write. Sullivan was able to make contact with the girl's mind through the sense of touch. Gradually, the child was able to connect words with objects. Once she understood, her progress was rapid. Then she learned to speak. Until she was 10 years old, Keller could talk only with the sign language of the deaf-mute. She decided she would learn to speak and took lessons from a teacher of the deaf. By the time she was 16, she could communicate well enough to go to preparatory school and to college. Finally she helped others. After college, Keller became concerned with the conditions of the blind and the deaf-blind. She became active on the staffs of the American Foundation for the blind and of the American Foundation for overseas Blind. In her later years, she became especially interested in bettering the conditions for the blind in developing and war-ravaged countries. An enthusiastic and untiring traveler, she lectured on their behalf in more than 25 countries on every continent except Antarctica.Keller received many awards of great distinction. They include the Chevalier's ribbon of the French Legion of Honor, the Alumni Achievement Award of Radcliffe College, and decorations from many governments.36.What caused Helen Keller's losing sight and hearing?A) A car accident.B) A serious illness.C) It was caused when Helen Keller's mother was pregnant.D) It just happened, no one knew the reason.正确答案：B37.For several years before Sullivan came, ______.A) Helen had to express herself in simple wordsB) Helen had been a wild and unruly little girlC) no one took care of Helen's studyD) Helen had been unable to make any sound正确答案：B38.At the age of ten, Helen _______.A) had learned to speak a little bitB) could communicate well enoughC) began to go to schoolD) decide to learn to speak正确答案：D39.Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A) Helen graduated from college when she was only 20.B) Helen devoted herself to the welfare of the blind and the deaf-blind.C) Helen called on wealthy people to give financial support to the disabled.D) Helen traveled around the world to give lectures.正确答案：C40.What can be inferred from the passage?A) Helen Keller owed her success to her strong character.B) Helen Keller has become a symbol of courage for many people.C) Helen Keller was an active worker for the poor people.D) The disabled will remember Helen Keller forever.正确答案：BPart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.If you ask people to name one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like "Shakespeare", "Samuel Johnson" and "Webster" but none of these men had any effect at all compared with a man who didn't even speak English — William the Conqueror.Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived people belonging to two major language groups. In the west-central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos-Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic Language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more "foreign" than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man's ambition.31.According to the passage, ___________ had the great effect on the English language.A) ShakespeareB) Samuel JohnsonC) WebsterD) William the Conqueror正确答案： D32.The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before 1066 were _____.A) Welsh and ScottishB) Nordic and GermanicC) Celtic and Old EnglishD) Anglo-Saxon and Germanic正确答案： C33.Which of the following groups of words are, by inference, rooted in FrenchA) President, lawyer, beef.B) President, bread, water.C) Bread, field, sheep.D) Folk, field, cow.正确答案： A34.Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to EuropeA) Because most advertisements in France appear in English.B) Because they know little of the history of the English language.C) Because many French words are similar to English ones.D) Because they know French better than German.正确答案： C35.What is the subject discussed in the textA) The history of Great Britain.B) The similarity of Great Britain.C) The rule of England by William the Conqueror.D) The French influences on the English language.正确答案： DPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Taste is such a subjective matter that we don't usually conduct preference tests for food. The most you can say about anyone's preference is that it's one person's opinion. But because the two big cola companies —Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola are marketed so aggressively, we've wondered how big a role taste preference actually plays in brand loyalty. We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified themselves as either Coca-Cola or Pepsi fans: Find your brand in a blind tasting. We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola Classic or Pepsi, Diet Coke, or Diet Pepsi. These were people who thought they'd have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand.We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them four unidentified samples of cola one ata time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other. We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants' choices with what mere guess-work could have accomplished.Getting all four samples right was a tough test, but not too tough, we thought, for people who believed they could recognize their brand. In the end, only 7 out of 19 regular cola drinkers correctly identified their brand of choice in all four trials. The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse — only 7 of 27 identified all four samples correctly.While both groups did better than chance would predict, nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times. Two people got all four samples wrong. Overall, half the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so fatigue, or taste burnout, was not a factor. Our preference test results suggest that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price.36.According to the passage the preference test was conducted in order to ________.A) find out the role taste preference plays in a person's drinkingB) reveal which cola is more to the liking of the drinkersC) show that a person's opinion about taste is mere guess-workD) compare the ability of the participants in choosing their drinks正确答案： A37.The statistics recorded in the preference tests show that ________.A) Coca-Cola and Pepsi are people's two most favorite drinksB) there is not much difference in taste between Coca-Cola and PepsiC) few people had trouble telling Coca-Cola from PepsiD) people's tastes differ from one another正确答案： B38.It is implied in the first paragraph that ________.A) the purpose of taste tests is to promote the sale of colasB) the improvement of quality is the chief concern of the two cola companiesC) the competition between the two colas is very strongD) blind tasting is necessary for identifying fans正确答案： C39.The word "burnout" (in Para. 5) refers to the state of ________.A) being seriously burnt in the skinB) being unable to burn for lack of fuelC) being badly damaged by fireD) being unable to function because of excessive use正确答案： D40.The author's purpose in writing this passage is to ________.A) show that taste preference is highly subjectiveB) argue that taste test is an important marketing strategyC) emphasize that taste and price are closely related to each otherD) recommend that blind tasting be introduced in the quality control of colas正确答案： APart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part.

I wasn't quite sure what my journey would involve, but I was 26 who would be at the other end. I steeled myself to travel the road that would lead me to a better understanding of who I was and of what I wanted out of life. I shared my mixed feelings with my husband.

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.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.When I was in 7th grade, I had a lot of trouble reading. My mother used to sit by my side, and explain each paragraph of each school reading assignment to me because I didn't understand what I was reading. She would have to read each paragraph to me, and then after each paragraph, she summarized what we just read.In class, I tried to hide the fact that I couldn't read. My teachers gave us the last 10 minutes of class to start our reading homework, and I would sit there for the last ten minutes of class staring at the page, pretending I was reading it — I remember a terrible feeling of not wanting to get in trouble for not being able to comprehend. I had to wait until I got home so my mother could explain it to me. How did I ever get into Cornell University? By eighth grade I started understanding a little on my own, but I was reading at an incredibly slow rate. In eighth grade, I got hold of all the speed reading books I could get my hands on. I read them all very slowly at the time. I even went out and took a course on speed reading. Then I developed my own system which was easier and produced quicker results. I started practicing these techniques every day, and as I started to read faster, my understanding increased. I found that I stopped daydreaming and thinking about other things while I was reading, and started getting the larger meaning. I was reading faster and comprehending better.I found that when you read slowly, word by word, you get lost in the words, lose the bigger picture, and your comprehension drops. When you read faster, your concentration actually increases and your comprehension goes up because instead of getting lost in the words, you see the overall picture.31.The main difficulty the writer had in reading in her 7th grade was that _____.A) she often forgot her school reading assignmentsB) she had difficulty reading with comprehensionC) she had a poor vocabulary and very bad grammarD) she always looked elsewhere when asked to read正确答案：B32.The writer would pretend to be reading in the last 10 minutes of class because______.A) she was afraid of being found outB) the reading class was terribleC) she had to do what others were doingD) her mother told her to do so正确答案：A33.The writer's reading ability improved a great deal mainly because _____.A) she entered Cornell UniversityB) she took a course on speed readingC) her mother managed to help her outD) she developed her own way of reading正确答案：D34.From her own experience, the writer found that ________.A) one's comprehension drops if one reads too slowlyB) in order to understand better, one has to read slowlyC) one tends to neglect the detailed information if one reads fastD) many people read fast in order to save time正确答案：A35.After reading the passage, we can conclude that the writer wrote the passage in order to_______.A) convince the readers of the importance of higher educationB) tell a story in honor of her motherC) give a detailed description of different reading skillsD) illustrate the necessity of fast reading正确答案：DPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Elizabeth's father died when she was nine. Her family was large, andvery poor. She struggled for self esteem, but it was difficult when her clothes weren't as nice as the other kids and her new school was still unfamiliar.During a math lesson, Elizabeth stared at the chalkboard and was struggling to understand a concept. With every stroke of the chalk, she became more confused. She had suffered from chronic ear infections (感染), and had missed many days of her fifth grade year. When she finally got the courage to raise her little hand and ask Mr. Thompson how the problem was done, he became very angry. He marched her up in front of the class and told this insecure child that she was "incapable of learning and extremely stupid."This remark plagued (使…困扰) Elizabeth for years.Elizabeth drifted into marriage. After discovering her husband's long time infidelity (不忠), she found herself divorced with three young daughters. She moved back to her home state and tried to pick up the pieces she had left behind.Knowing that she would be the sole support of these children, and having no desire to remarry, Elizabeth started college. Like most good mothers, she wanted the best for her children. She didn't want to deprive them of their mother.

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.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.If you ask people to name one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like "Shakespeare", "Samuel Johnson" and "Webster" but none of these men had any effect at all compared with a man who didn't even speak English — William the Conqueror.Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived people belonging to two major language groups. In the west-central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos-Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic Language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more "foreign" than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man's ambition.31.According to the passage, ___________ had the great effect on the English language.A) ShakespeareB) Samuel JohnsonC) WebsterD) William the Conqueror正确答案：D32.The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before 1066 were _____.A) Welsh and ScottishB) Nordic and GermanicC) Celtic and Old EnglishD) Anglo-Saxon and Germanic正确答案：C33.Which of the following groups of words are, by inference, rooted in French?A) President, lawyer, beef.B) President, bread, water.C) Bread, field, sheep.D) Folk, field, cow.正确答案：A34.Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe?A) Because most advertisements in France appear in English.B) Because they know little of the history of the English language.C) Because many French words are similar to English ones.D) Because they know French better than German.正确答案：C35.What is the subject discussed in the text?A) The history of Great Britain.B) The similarity of Great Britain.C) The rule of England by William the Conqueror.D) The French influences on the English language.正确答案：DPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Napoleon Bonaparte was keen to learn English while in exile (流放), documents shown in Britain for the first time reveal.The deposed French emperor apparently wanted to learn the language of his foes so he could read what the London papers were writing about him. Scraps of paper from his English lessons in captivity on the island of St Helena go on show at London's National Maritime Museum on Thursday. They include lines of French haltingly translated by Napoleon into English.Count Emmanuel de las Cases, who accompanied the emperor into exile after he surrendered to the English at the Battle of Waterloo, wrote about his desire to learn the language in his memoirs (论文集). According to him, Napoleon had his first lesson on 17 January 1816, when he asked las Cases to dictate to him some sentences in French, which he then translated, using a table of auxiliary verbs and a dictionary.According to historian Dr Peter Hicks, las Cases describes how Napoleon hated being sat down to work like a schoolboy but steeled himself for the task. Dr Hicks said: "He was not necessarily anti-English. He had to fight because it was the enemy of France." He added: "In France people are amazed to find that he was learning English. But he didn't do it for pleasure. He wondered how much money he could have saved in translation if he could have learnt English."The documents are to feature in the Greenwich museum's Nelson and Napoleon exhibition, being held to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Nelson's death at the Battle of Trafalgar. They are among a wide range of letters, paintings, personal items and objects lent by galleries and museums across Europe. The English lesson papers, described by Dr Hicks as quite remarkable, are on loan from the Foundation Napoleon in Paris.36.What evidence shows that Napoleon liked to learn English?A) Documents displayed in Greenwich museum.B) Scraps of paper from his English lessons.C) A person who accompanied him said that.D) All the above.正确答案：D37.According to the passage, Napoleon learned English probably because_______________.A) he was very concerned about British’s opinion about himB) he just learned it for funC) it could save him a lot of money in translationD) it helped him pass the time in exile正确答案：A38.What is Napoleon's actual attitude towards Britain?A) Hatred.B) Hostile.C) cautious.D) Optimistic.正确答案：B39.It can be inferred from the passage that _______________.A) the paper kept in museum shows the whole article translated by NapoleonB) French people were indifferent to know Napoleon's learning EnglishC) Napoleon hated sitting there still and learning stuffD) Napoleon liked to translate English into French in class正确答案：C40.Where do you think this article is probably from?A) National Geography.B) Anecdote Magazine.C) Science.D) Schedule of Museum.正确答案：BPart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Holidays usually help us remember what irritates us most about family.The husband who waits until the last minute to shop. The children who poison cherished family time with bad tempers. The sister-in-law who criticizes the father who complains.This is also the time of year when we are together with people with whom we have long-time conflicts. The black mood that spoils holiday gatherings is a result of having three or four generations under one roof. There is tremendous conflict of values, and you can't negotiate values.The result: Everybody gets their hot buttons pushed, and emotions explode.These hot buttons have familiar labels.— Minimizing: "It's not that big a deal."— Degrading: "You are just a kid; what do you know?"— Blaming: "You always — "— Comparing: "You are just your father."— Judging: "That's the silliest idea I ever heard."— Name-calling: "You are being ridiculous."— And dictating: "I know better. Do it my way."These are the top 10 hot buttons, and during the holidays they get pushed over and over. You even know who is going to say what and when.Nobody wants a blow-up on a holiday, so we ignore and ignore. But those disagreements stay with us and things become worse at the next family gathering.Here are ways to diffuse these emotional moments.Acknowledge the intentions of the speaker: "I know you mean well."Say how you feel. "It hurts me when you make fun of my work."Or give the speaker a face-saving option: "If you are worried that I am not cooking enough food, why don't you bring one of your favorite dishes."Most of the communication is in body language and tone of voice. You need to say it in an open, warm and caring way.Don't expect every disagreement to be resolved. Sometimes you justneed to say, "Let's talk about this again later." You are not giving up or giving in. you are keeping your dignity and moving on.31.What is the cause of the black mood during family gatherings?A) People have bad-tempered children.B) People live with mean sister-in-law.C) People have been together with old people.D) People have different ideas about lives.正确答案：D32.What does "hot button" mean in the passage?A) Something used as a switch.B) Something causing disputes.C) Something arousing anger.D) Something with a high temperature.正确答案：B33.When one wants to command others, he will begin with ______.A) "It's not that big a deal."B) "You are just a kid; what do you know?"C) "That's the silliest idea I ever heard."D) "I know better. Do it my way."正确答案：D34.Which one is NOT a way to ease a family conflict, according to the author?A) To tell your feeling directly to your family members.B) To admit the good will of your family members.C) To hide your dissatisfaction with a smile.D) To give your family members a chance to avoid embarrassment.正确答案：C35.What is the author's opinion of family conflicts?A) It is difficult to deal with family conflicts.B) Family conflicts can not be resolved.C) It needs compromises to avoid family conflicts.D) Family conflicts can be ignored.正确答案：CPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.When I was in 7th grade, I had a lot of trouble reading. My mother used to sit by my side, and explain each paragraph of each school reading assignment to me because I didn't understand what I was reading. She would have to read each paragraph to me, and then after each paragraph, she summarized what we just read.In class, I tried to hide the fact that I couldn't read. My teachers gave us the last 10 minutes of class to start our reading homework, and I would sit there for the last ten minutes of class staring at the page, pretending I was reading it — I remember a terrible feeling of not wanting to get in trouble for not being able to comprehend. I had to wait until I got home so my mother could explain it to me. How did I ever get into Cornell University? By eighth grade I started understanding a little on my own, but I was reading at an incredibly slow rate. In eighth grade, I got hold of all the speed reading books I could get my hands on. I read them all very slowly at the time. I even went out and took a course on speed reading. Then I developed my own system which was easier and produced quicker results. I started practicing these techniques every day, and as I started to read faster, my understanding increased. I found that I stopped daydreaming and thinking about other things while I was reading, and started getting the larger meaning. I was reading faster and comprehending better.I found that when you read slowly, word by word, you get lost in the words, lose the bigger picture, and your comprehension drops. When you read faster, your concentration actually increases and your comprehension goes up because instead of getting lost in the words, you see the overall picture.36.The main difficulty the writer had in reading in her 7th grade was that _____.A) she often forgot her school reading assignmentsB) she had difficulty reading with comprehensionC) she had a poor vocabulary and very bad grammarD) she always looked elsewhere when asked to read正确答案：B37.The writer would pretend to be reading in the last 10 minutes of class because______.A) she was afraid of being found outB) the reading class was terribleC) she had to do what others were doingD) her mother told her to do so正确答案：A38.The writer's reading ability improved a great deal mainly because _____.A) she entered Cornell UniversityB) she took a course on speed readingC) her mother managed to help her outD) she developed her own way of reading正确答案：D39.From her own experience, the writer found that ________.A) one's comprehension drops if one reads too slowlyB) in order to understand better, one has to read slowlyC) one tends to neglect the detailed information if one reads fastD) many people read fast in order to save time正确答案：A40.After reading the passage, we can conclude that the writer wrote the passage in order to_______.A) convince the readers of the importance of higher educationB) tell a story in honor of her motherC) give a detailed description of different reading skillsD) illustrate the necessity of fast reading正确答案：DPart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.Passage OneQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.More and more Americans are finding that they must learn to cope with chronic illness. Granted, for some of the 125 million people with chronic illnesses, the problems are minor, but for 60 million others have multiple chronic conditions that can be serious or life-threatening.The toll of so much illness is enormous —$510 billion annually. But chronic illness exacts an emotional toll as well, and it is in that realm that researchers are increasingly looking to the hard-won wisdom of patients to find ways to help others cope with diseases that might once have engulfed them in shame or despair.One view is that people with chronic illnesses should be neither pitied nor idealized, either by others or by themselves. Pity can come across as condescending. Turning someone into a hero may not help. Other mental health specialists, such as Ann Webster, take a somewhat different view. Some people with chronic illnesses do want tobe seen as normal, she said, but others do seem truly heroic and may appreciate some recognition of that. "A lot of people grow and change in profound ways", Webster said. Some long-term survivors in her AIDS group "have changed and grown and turned into some of the most evolved and spiritual people, and they never were that way before." "It's really hard having a chronic illness, and knowing it is changing your life and your future," she said. Some people can throw their energies into beating their disease and returning to normal activities. But others can't beat the illness, no matter how hard they try. Many people can do this on their own, she said, but many also find it helpful to join support groups or see individual counselors. Ultimately, the task is to make meaning in the face of disability or imminent（即将发生的，逼近的）death, to reassess what's still important and what you can still do, when your old goals and dreams can no longer be met.31.Ann Webster is different from other people in that she thinks ______.A) people with chronic diseases may feel encouraged when their heroic deeds are recognizedB) people with chronic illnesses wish to be treated in the same way as a normal personC) idealizing people with chronic illnesses may put them under great mental pressureD) sympathizing people with chronic illnesses may make them feel inferior to others正确答案：A32.Which of the following is NOT TRUE of the people in Webster's group?A) Many people turn to support groups for help.B) Most of them realize they have to fight on their own.C) Some of them return to normal life by fighting hard.D) Some of them fail no matter how hard they try.正确答案：B33.We may infer from the passage that the author most probably agrees to the opinion that _____.A) people should stick to their dreams and goals no matter what happensB) people should keep fighting against diseases and turn themselves into heroesC) people should make their life meaningful by resetting goals when necessaryD) people should never give up fighting so long as there is still hope正确答案：C34.This passage is focused on ______.A) the health condition of American peopleB) the prevention of chronic illnessesC) the serious cases of chronic illnessesD) the spiritual aspect of people with chronic illnesses正确答案：D35.Which of the following statements is TRUE as described in the passage?A) The treatment for chronic illnesses mainly depends on spiritual help.B) People with chronic diseases can conquer their illness if they join support groups.C) People's overcoming chronic illnesses demands enormous cost.D) With people's utmost efforts, any chronic illness can be cured now.正确答案：CPassage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Elizabeth's father died when she was nine. Her family was large, and very poor. She struggled for self esteem, but it was difficult when her clothes weren't as nice as the other kids and her new school was still unfamiliar.During a math lesson, Elizabeth stared at the chalkboard and was struggling to understand a concept. With every stroke of the chalk, she became more confused. She had suffered from chronic ear infections (感染), and had missed many days of her fifth grade year. When she finally got the courage to raise her little hand and ask Mr. Thompson how the problem was done, he became very angry. He marched her up in front of the class and told this insecure child that she was "incapable of learning and extremely stupid."This remark plagued (使…困扰) Elizabeth for years.Elizabeth drifted into marriage. After discovering her husband's long time infidelity (不忠), she found herself divorced with three young daughters. She moved back to her home state and tried to pick up the pieces she had left behind.Knowing that she would be the sole support of these children, and having no desire to remarry, Elizabeth started college. Like most good mothers, she wanted the best for her children. She didn't want to deprive them of their mother. She would rise early and stay up late to get every spare minute she could to study.When she received her first "A" she was confused. She thought there must be some mistake. This was Elizabeth, Elizabeth the stupid. When her good grades piled up, she realized for the first time that maybe Mr. Thompson was wrong. She graduated from Brigham Young University, and will soon be receiving her master's degree at California State University in San Bernardino.36.The reason why Elizabeth stared at the chalkboard was that ______.A) she had ear infections and could not hear very wellB) she was still overwhelmed by the death of her fatherC) too much homework had made her tired and sickD) what the teacher wrote was beyond her understanding正确答案：D37.Mr. Thompson can be best described as a teacher who was ________.A) dull and stupidB) impatient and cruelC) strict with his studentsD) incapable of making himself understood正确答案：B38.We can learn from the passage that Elizabeth started college because she ______.A) was not a very responsible motherB) needed to be able to support her childrenC) knew she could achieve great success in collegeD) wanted her children to have an educated mother正确答案：D39.Why was Elizabeth confused when she got her first "A"?A) Because she believed that it was a mistake.B) Because she had not studied hard enough.C) Because she felt hurt by other people's comments.D) Because she did not trust her teacher.正确答案：AElizabeth's case shows that _______.A) people can overcome a negative self-image through hard workB) a student can achieve great success even though he or she is stupidC) people who suffer a lot are more likely to work hard and succeed in the endD) poor children can also receive the best education and rise high in life正确答案：APart III Vocabulary and Structure ( 10 minutes )Directions: There are a number of incomplete sentences in this part.
