TEM4 模拟题 (第一套)答案

听力（略）Part II Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D), and you should decide which is the best choice. (40 points)Passage 1Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:The United States is full of automobiles. There are still many families without cars, but some families have two or even more. However, cars are used for more than pleasure. They are necessary part of life.Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies. Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile from the school. When the children are too young to walk that far, their mothers take turns driving them to school. One mother drives on Mondays, taking her own children and neighbors' children as well. Another drives on Tuesdays, another on Wednesdays, and so on. This is called forming a car pool. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer automobiles on the road and to use less gasoline. Parking is a great problem, and so is the traffic in and around cities. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.26. Many families in the U.S. own cars because ________.A) cars are a source of pleasure for themB) they need a car to form a car poolC) they live more than a mile away from the schoolD) cars form necessary part in their life27.

Thirty orangutans fleeing their burning forest home have been killed by villagers, who see the animals as crop raiders. Orangutan mothers have been killed so that their young can be captured and sold into the illegal wildlife pet trade. Orangutan experts continue to receive orangutan infants whose mothers have been killed while searching for food in plantations and fields.The fires, caused by drought and coupled with fire-setting methods to clear forests, have destroyed more than two million acres. When fire gets into the rainforests' layer of dry peat (partly decayed plant material which covers the soil), it can burn slowly off and on for months or years after the original fire. These fires continue until heavy rainfall soaks the peat through and through. Orangutans once numbered in the hundreds of thousands, but their population has dropped to roughly 25 000 due to fire, the destruction of forests from felling trees for timber and agriculture, and losses linked to the live-animal trade. Before the fires, only 40 percent of the orangutans' original habitat remained, and now, their habitat has become even smaller.31. What can be the best title for this passage?A) Fires Drive Orangutans to Danger.B) Orangutans Are Precious Animals.C) Fires in Indonesia Keep on Flaming.D) Orangutans Endanger the Crops of Indonesia.32.

Some people buy orangutans because ________.A) they want to save orangutansB) they want to keep orangutans as petsC) they want to build new homes for orangutansD) they want to take care of orangutan infants35. Which of the following is NOT a reason for the decreasing of orangutans in Indonesia?A) The forests have been burned to make land for agriculture.B) Most of orangutans' forests have been destroyed.C) Mother orangutans have been caught and sold in pet-animal market.D) Trees have been cut down for human profits.Passage 3Question 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Don't try kicking the tires on a very modern and strange car developed by students at Coventry University. Not only does the car have no tires, it has no steering wheel, either.The Coventry Concept Car, as it is called is a completely new design that looks more like a snail（蜗牛）than an automobile. No working model, or functional form of the vehicle exists yet, but its designers recently introduced a life-sized model and explained how a real one would work. Electric motors would move rapidly undulating pad（形成波浪状气垫）underneath the car; moving the vehicle in any direction at speeds up to 480 km per hour. The motion would be a much faster way of crawling ? the way snails move. (Muscles in the bottom of a snail's flat foot contract （收缩）in waves that push the snail along the ground.)Steering of the snail car would be handled automatically by an onboard computer, which would receive signals from orbiting satellites. Those signals would help guide the snail car along a preprogrammed route.Even the car's color could be computer-controlled, the student designer suggested. Instead of a painted out appearance, the snail car would sport an electronically sensitive film that changes color according to its surroundings.36. The Coventry Concept Car is designed mainly based on ________.A) the appearance of a snailB) the movement of a snailC) the life-size of a snailD) the behavior of a snail37. Which of the following is true about the Coventry Concept Car?A) Its first working model can run at 480 km per hour.B) Its direction is controlled by a steering wheel.C) It moves in all directions on a pair of flat feet.D) It travels automatically along preprogrammed routes.38. The color of the car can be changed ______.A) by applying different films onto its exteriorB) automatically in accordance with its surroundingsC) by signals received by the car computerD) according to the customer's requirement39. The word "sport" in the last but one line most probably means _______.A) applyB) wearC) runD) notice40. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A) A Car at a Speed of a SnailB) A Computer-Controlled Electronic VehicleC) A Car Without Tires and Steering WheelD) A Car with No Functional FormPassage 4Question 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date?Many people are afraid to assert themselves（坚持自己的权利）. Dr. Alberti, author of Stand Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back, thinks it's because their self-respect is low. "Our whole set-up is designed to make people distrust themselves," says Alberti. "There's always a 'superior' around: a parent, a teacher, a boss who 'knows better'."But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help those people assert themselves. They offer "Assertiveness Training" courses ? AT for short. In the AT course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive without hurting other people.In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear. A group taking an AT course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger motive ? the need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image. If someone you face is more "important" than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your own good sense. You go by the other person's label. But, why should you? AT says you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.41. The problem the writer talks about is that _______.A) some people buy things they don't wantB) some people are afraid of arguing for themselvesC) there are too many "superiors" around usD) there is too much pressure from our society42. The cause of the problem discussed in this passage is that _______.A) some people have a low self-imageB) there is always someone around who "knows better"C) salesmen talk people into buying things they don't wantD) people don't share opinions in a group43. The set-up of our society often _______.A) makes people distrust themselvesB) makes things more favorable for "superiors"C) keeps people from knowing as much as their "superiors"D) helps people to learn to speak up for their rights44. A T is one solution to the problem in this passage, but one thing AT doesn't promote is to help people ________.A) to share their feelingsB) to have a right to be oneselfC) to overcome their fear before othersD) to be more aggressive45. The title for this passage could be ________.A) Assertiveness TrainingB) Loss of Self-respectC) The Importance of Human RightsD) Share Your Feelings with OthersPart III Vocabulary and StructureDirections: There are 20 incomplete sentences in this part.

You have to come up with a plan to get your product or service in the market place. You have to come up with a marketing plan. (67) This marketing plan involves two parts: you have to figure out who the market is; and you have to make the product or service known to that market. These two work together.It is a rare case in marketing when a product has appeal to everyone regardless of sex, age, income level or special interests. (68) The more typical case is that a product will appeal to a limited group of people who are willing to put down their hard-earned dollars to buy what you have to sell.(69) The basic question to keep in mind as you develop your marketing plan is: Who would want to buy the type of product I make and how can I develop it to be saleable to these special people? Once you define your market, you often have to modify your product to fit that market. Sometimes the answer to this question is clear and logical. Often, however, a business person has to do some research and experimentation to find the answer. (70) Many a business has failed because people didn't consider this obvious but critical question: Who is the market?66. ____________________________________________________________________________67.____________________________________________________________________________68. ____________________________________________________________________________69. ____________________________________________________________________________70. ____________________________________________________________________________Section BDirections: In this section, you will translate 5 sentences below into English.

It is sometimes placed among “situations vacant”, although it does not offer anyone a job, and sometimes it appears among “situations wanted”, although it is not placed by someone looking for a job, either. What it does is to offer help in applying for a job.“Contact us before writing your application”, or “Make use of our long experience in preparing your curriculum vitae or job history”, is how it is usually expressed. The growth and apparent success of such a specialized service is, of course, a reflection on the current high levels of unemployment. It is also an indication of the growing importance of the curriculum vitae (or job history), with the suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form in its own right.There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application.“Just put down your name, address, age and whether you have passed any exams”, was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their first jobs when I left school. The letter was really just for openers, it was explained, and everything else could and should be saved for the interview. And in those days of full employment the technique worked. The letter proved that you could write and were available for work. Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest. Later, as you moved up the ladder, something slightly more sophisticated was called for. The advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest. It might be the aggressive approach. “Your search is over. I am the person you are looking for”, was a widely used trick that occasionally succeeded. Or it might be some special feature specially designed for the job interview. There is no doubt, however, that it is increasing number of applicants with university education at all points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the curriculum vitae.11. The new type of advertisement which is appearing in newspaper columns_______.A. informs job hunters of the opportunities availableB. promises to offer useful advice to those looking for employmentC. divides available jobs into various typesD. informs employers of the people available for work题目类型：客观题题目分类：选择答题方式：单项选择分值：5ABCD学生答题：B正确答案：B答题结果：正确得分：5提问&反馈12 .

Later, as one went on to apply for more important jobs, one was advised to include_____ in the letter .A. something that would distinguish one from other applicantsB. hinted information about the personality of the applicantC. one’s advantages over others in applying for the jobD.an occasional trick with the aggressive approach题目类型：客观题题目分类：选择答题方式：单项选择分值：5ABCD学生答题：A正确答案：A答题结果：正确得分：5提问&反馈15. The curriculum vitae has become such an important document because_______ .A. there has been an increase in the number of jobs advertisedB. there has been an increase in the number of applicants with degreesC. jobs are becoming much more complicated nowadaysD. the other processes of applying for jobs are more complicated题目类型：客观题题目分类：选择答题方式：单项选择分值：5ABCD学生答题：B正确答案：B答题结果：正确得分：5提问&反馈Questions 16 to 20 are based on the same passageLike many other small boys, I was fascinated by cars, especially because my oldest brother was a bit of a car guy and subscribed to cool magazines like Car and Driver and Motor Trend. Every so often, one of those magazines would run an article on the “Car of the Future”. They featured unconventional things like small nuclearreactors as power sources. Yet, frankly, my car doesn’t do anything that my brother’s Studebaker didn’t do. It goes, it stops, it burns gasoline. I still have to steer it, and it still runs into things if I don’t steer it carefully.But guess what? All of these things are likely to change in the not-so-distant future. It may not burn gasoline, I may not have to steer it, and it may be a lot better at not running into things.Airbags (安全气囊)aren't the be-all and end-all in safety. In fact, considering the recent news about people occasionally being killed by their airbags in low-speed collisions, they obviously still need some development. But they aren't going away, and in fact, you can expect to see cars appearing with additional, side-impact airbags, something some European car manufacturers already offer.Better than systems to minimize injury in the event of an accident ,however, are systems that minimize the likelihood of an accident happening. Future cars may be able to remove many of the major causes of accidents, including drunk-driving, and tailgating (与前车距离过近). Cars could be equipped with sensors that can detect alcohol in a driver's system and prevent the car from being started, for example. As early as next year, you'll be able to buy cars with radar-equipped control systems. If the radar determines you're closing too quickly with the car in front, it will ease up on the throttle (油门).Will cars eventually be able to drive themselves? There's no reason to think it won't be technically possible, and Mercedes is working on a system that can brake, accelerate and steer a vehicle down a highway on its own. Nobody really expects people to give up all control to their cars, but such systems could be used as failsafe (自动防止故障)systems to keep cars on the road and bring them safely to a stop even if the driver suddenly became disabled.16. Why was the author fascinated by cars?A. Because he read unconventional things about cars in his brother's magazines.B. Because other small boys liked to own a car of their own, too.C.

参考范文:Learning is a daily experience and a lifetime mission. This is a proverb full of logic. In other words, learning is significant in our whole life. Indeed, we can learn many things from it. If you understand it and apply it to your study or work, you’ll necessarily benefit a lot from it.There are many reasons which can explain this phenomenon and the following are the typical ones. The first reason is that learning can light our road in the coming future. There is no denying the fact that the society is developing increasingly fast and we are often easily surpassed by the people around. The only way to avoid this is to learn to improve ourselves. As an illustration, I’d like to take myself as an example. After graduation from college, my life has been full of working pressure, which contributes to my decision of pursuing further education. That’s why I can make my own way in such a competitive society.The effect of learning can be boiled down to two major ones. First, with the spirit of learning, we are more capable of overcoming the difficulties in the future. More importantly, we can enrich our spare time life by learning. No matter who you are, you must remember that learning is the basic skill in our life.写作第二版：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the saying"Listening is more important than talking."

9月26日 TEM4测试参考答案Dictation：Town and Country Life in EnglandThere is a big difference between town life and country life in England. In the country, everybody knows everybody else. They know what time you get up, what time you go to bed and what you have for dinner. If you want to help, you will always get it and you will be glad to help others.In a large town like London, however, it can sometimes happen that you have never seen your next door neighbor and you do not know his name or anything about him. People in London are often very lonely. This is because people go to different places in the evenings and at weekends.

大学英语四级考试模拟试卷及参考答案(第一套）Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is foll owed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fou r choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and ma rk the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage. There is a difference between science and technology. Science is a method o f answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems. Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships betwee n observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to o rganize these facts and relationships; technology has to do with tools, techniq ues, and procedures for implementing the finding of science. Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progr ess in each. Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who seek to comp rehend the universe and know the truth within the highest degree of accuracy an d certainty, cannot pay attention to their own or other people's likes or disli kes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists discover m ay shock or anger people-as did Darwin's theory of evolution. But even an unple asant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the choice of re fusing to believe it! But hardly so with technology; we do not have the choiceof refusing to hear the sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft flying ove rhead; we do not have the option of refusing to breathe polluted air; and we do not have the option of living in a non-atomic age. Unlike science progress, tec hnology must be measured in terms of the human factor. The legitimate purpose o f technology is to serve people in general, not merely some people; and future generations, not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselv es. Technology must be humanistic if it is to lead to a better world. 21. The difference between science and technology lies in that _____. A) the former provides answers to theoretical questions while the latter to practical problems B) the former seeks to comprehend the universe while the latter helps chang e the material world C) the former aims to discover the inter-connections of facts and the rules that explain them while the latter, to discover new designs and ways of making the things we use in our daily life D) all of the above 22. Which of the following may be representative of science? A) The improvement of people's life. B) The theory of people's life. C) Farming tools. D) Mass production. 23. According to the author, scientific theories _____. A) must be strictly objective B) usually take into consideration people's likes and dislikes C) should conform to popular opinions D) always appear in perfect and finished forms 24. The author states that technology itself _____. A) is responsible for widespread pollution and resource exhaustion B) should serve those who wish to gain advantage for themselves C) will lead to a better world if put to wise use D) will inevitably be for bad purpose 25. The tone of the author in this passage is _____. A) positive B) negative C) factual D) critical Passage Two　Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage. Americans have always been ambivalent in their attitudes toward education. On the one hand, free and universal public education was seen as necessary in a democracy, for how else would citizens learn how to govern themselves in a resp onsible way? On the other hand, America was always a country that offered finan cial opportunities for which education was not needed: on the road from rags to riches, schooling-beyond the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic-was an unnecessary detour. Even today, it is still possible for people to achieve financial success wi thout much education, but the number of situations in which this is possible is decreasing. In today's more complex world, the opportunities for financial succ ess is closely related to the need for education, especially higher education. Our society is rapidly becoming one whose chief product is information, and dealing with this information requires more and more specialized education. In other words, we grow up learning more and more about fewer and fewer subjects. In the future, this trend is likely to continue. Tomorrow's world will be e ven more complex than today's world, and, to manage this complexity, even more specialized education will be needed. 26. The topic treated in this passage is _____. A) education in general B) Americans' attitudes C) higher education D) American education 27. Americans' attitudes toward education have always been _____. A) certain B) contradictory C) ambitious D) unclear 28. Today, financial success is closely related to the need for _____. A) higher education B) public education C) responsible citizens D) learning the basics 29. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _____. A) information is our only product B) education in the future will be specialized C) we are entering an age of information D) we are living in an age of information 30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A) The History of American Education. B) The Need for Specialized Education. C) The Future of the American Educational System. D) Attitudes toward American Education. Passage Three　Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage. A growing world population and the discoveries of science may alter this pa ttern of distribution in the future. As men slowly learn to master diseases, co ntrol floods, prevent famines, and stop wars, fewer people die every year; andin consequence the population of the world is steadily increasing. In 1925 ther e were about 2,000 million people in the world; by the end of the century there may well be over 4,000 million. When numbers rise the extra mouths must be fed. New lands must be brought u nder cultivation, or land already farmed made to yield larger crops. In some ar eas the accessible land is so intensively cultivated that it will be difficult to make it provide more food. In some areas the population is so dense that the land is parceled out in units too tiny to allow for much improvement in farming methods. Were a large part of this farming population drawn off into industrial occupations, the land might be farmed much more productively by modern methods. There is now a race for science, technology, and industry to keep the output of food rising faster than the number of people to be fed. New strains of crops ar e being developed which will thrive in unfavorable climates: there are now farm s beyond the Arctic Circle in Siberia and North America; irrigation and dry-far ming methods bring arid lands under the plough, dams hold back the waters of gr eat rivers to ensure water for the fields in all seasons and to provide electri c power for new industries; industrial chemistry provides fertilizers to suit p articular soils; aeroplanes spray crops to destroy locusts and many plant disea ses. Every year some new means is devised to increase or to protect the food of the world. 31. The author says that the world population is growing because _____. A) there are many rich valleys and fertile plains B) the pattern of distribution is being altered C) people are living longer D) new land is being brought under cultivation 32. The author says that in densely populated areas the land might be more productively farmed if _____. A) the plots were subdivided B) a large part of the people moved to a different part of the country C) industrial methods were used in farming D) the units of land were made much larger 33. We are told that there are now farms beyond the Arctic Circle. This has been made possible by _____. A) producing new strains of crops B) irrigation and dry-farming methods C) providing fertilizers D) destroying pests and disease 34. Which of these words is nearest in meaning to the word "strains"? A) types B) sizes C) seeds D) harvests 35. The author's main purpose is to _____. A) argue for a belief B) describe a phenomenon C) entertain D) propose a conclusion Passage Four　Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage. For some time past it has been widely accepted that babies-and other creatu res-learn to do things because certain acts lead to "rewards"; and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least in the early stages, had to be directly related to such basic physiological(生理的) "drives" as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink or some sort of physical comfort, no t otherwise. It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways th at produce results in the world with no reward except the successful outcome. Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to "reward" the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning th e head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk but would still go on making the learned respons e with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the children's responses i n situations where no milk was provided. He quickly found that children as youn g as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the moveme nt "switched on" a display of lights-and indeed that they were capable of learn ing quite complex turns to bring about this result, for instance, two left or t wo right, or even to make as many as three turns to one side. Papousek's light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting observation that sometimes they would not turn back to wat ch the lights closely although they would "smile and bubble" when the display c ame on. Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights wh ich pleased them, it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in mastering the skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world and bring it under intentional control. 36. According to the author, babies learn to do things which . A) are direc tly related to pleasure B) will meet their physical needs C) will bring them a feeling of success D) will satisfy their curiosity 37. Papousek noticed in his studies that a baby . A) would make learned responses when it saw the milk B) would carry out learned movements when it had enough to drink C) would continue the simple movements without being given milk D) would turn its head to right or left when it had enough to drink 38. In Papousek's experiment babies make learned movements of the head in o rder to . A) have the lights turned on B) be rewarded with milk C) please their parents D) be praised 39. The babies would "smile and bubble" at the lights because . A) the lights were directly related to some basic "drives" B) the sight of the lights was interesting C) they need not turn back to watch the lights D) they succeeded in "switching on" the lights 40. According to Papousek, the pleasure babies get in achieving something i s a reflection of . A) a basic human desire to understand and control the world B) the satisfaction of certain physiological needs C) their strong desire to solve complex problems D) a fundamental human urge to display their learned skillsPart III Vocabulary (20 minutes) Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

We manage to survive by the care, work, and love we give our fragile craft." Our planet is indeed fragile. Every living thing on this planet is part of a complicated web of life, for no organism lives entirely on its own. Every organism is affected by all that surrounds it whether living or nonliving. And in turn each organism has some effect on its surroundings.Even the most elementary understanding of ecology requires knowledge of this cause/effect relationship all organisms have on each other. Every thing we do to our environment will in one way or another affect the quality of life we experience on this tiny spaceship. If we want the quality of life to be high, we must be more aware that nature is a finely balanced mechanism and that it will not tolerate the abuse we have been giving it. Consider the following examples of human ignorance concerning the delicate balance of nature.Aswan and Other Fables"Once there was a country that desperately needed food and energy for its growing population. It happened that one of the most magnificent rivers in the world flowed through this country. Each year the river deposited tons of mineral-rich silt on its fertile flood plain before it reached the sea. "Why not dam the river," said the country's leaders, "and use the water to irrigate more land, control the annual spring flooding of the river, and provide hydroelectric power all at the same time?" The result of this modern-day fairy tale is known as the billion- dollar Aswan High Dam of Egypt, and not all Egyptians are living happily ever after."For one thing, as water backed up behind the dam, almost 100,000 Egyptians had to choose between giving up their family homes and being submerged along with ancient and priceless temples that were part of Egypt's cultural heritage. But there have been far more devastating results. Now that the Nile River floodplain is deprived of its annual enrichment with silt, artificial fertilizer has to be trucked in at a cost of 100 million dollars a year —a cost carried by the subsistence farmers who make, on the average, less than a hundred dollars a year each. Furthermore, now there is nothing to wash away the previous year's silt buildup in the soil. And with silt deposits no longer compensating for erosion, the fertile river delta is shrinking — and an alarming part of what remains has completely dried up. Restoring the delta with pumps, drains, and wells may cost more than the dam itself.""Ironically, evaporation as well as bottom seepage from the new lake filling in behind the dam is so great that the lake basin may never fill up to predicted levels. So nobody can live around the lake because nobody knows for sure where the shoreline will be. More seriously, there is less water to go around than there was before. And even though some 700,000 new acres (about 1.6 million hectares) have been opened up for agriculture, the population outgrew the potential food increase even before the dam was finished. At the same time, with the nutrient-rich flow of the Nile turned off, another major food source-the sardines, shrimp, and mackerel that flourished in the enriched waters off the delta —has declined catastrophically. Worse yet, the lake and the irrigation networks have so accelerated the spread of blood flukes that half the Egyptian populace are now carriers of schistosomiasis (血吸虫病). In irrigated areas, where eight out of ten humans live, women can expect to live only to age twenty-seven, men to age twenty-five."The Hawaiian GooseAnother clear example of human ignorance of nature's delicate balance is seen in the near extinction of the Hawaiian Goose or Nene. It was estimated in the late eighteenth century that the population of Hawaii's unique variety of goose stood at about 25,000. In a matter of fifty years the population had dropped to approximately thirty birds. There were undoubtedly multiple causes for the decline in the Nene population, and virtually all of them resulted, either directly or indirectly, from humans.The most disastrous activities of humans included hunting with firearms, ranching activities, and the building of beach resorts. There is little doubt that the Nene's near extinction was hastened after shotguns were brought to Hawaii. It seems reasonable to assume that many more Nenes were killed when guns became common. In a similar fashion, as people moved further inland on the islands they began to open more and more land for the development of ranches and beach resorts. These developments forced the geese out of their natural nesting and breeding ranges. As these ranches and resorts became more plentiful, the Nene population accordingly decreased.The most harmful indirect effect of humans' activities was the introduction of animals such as cattle, goats, mongooses, and game birds. When cattle were first brought to the islands, King Kamehameha proclaimed a ten-year protection of the animals. They were allowed to roam the islands unrestrained. They multiplied rapidly, and as they did they moved further and further into the virgin forests, destroying many of the plants that provided food and shelter for the Nene. The goats that were introduced to the islands were even more destructive to the Nene' natural habitat. Because the goats were more agile, not only could they reach the plants at the lower elevations, but they also moved into the high-lands. In 1882, the mongoose was introduced to Hawaii in hopes that it would control the rats that were doing great damage in the sugar cane fields. The mongoose neither solved the rat problem nor remained in the sugar cane fields. As it moved out of the cane fields, it did what it does naturally: it became a predator of ground-nesting birds-including the Nene. The game birds introduced to Hawaii (quail, turkey, and guinea hen) all encroached on the Nene's already severely limited natural range. With the limited land space that an island has, the Nene had no escape route and no time to build defenses against these rapidly arriving unnatural opponents.By the 1940s, the Nene population had dwindled to a number so low that almost nothing could be done to save this unique, tame, land-living goose. It had become a classic example of our unconscious destruction of nature.Mosquito PlagueStill another famous incident drives home the intricate relationships within our ecosystem. Some years ago, large quantities of DDT were used by the World Health Organization in a program of mosquito control in Borneo. Soon the local people, spared a mosquito plague, began to suffer a plague of caterpillars, which devoured the thatched roofs of their houses, causing them to fall in. The habits of the caterpillars limited their exposure to DDT, but predatory wasps that had formerly controlled the caterpillars were devastated.Further spraying was done indoors to get rid of houseflies. The local gecko lizards, which previously had controlled the flies, continued to gobble their corpses — now full of DDT. As a result, the geckos were poisoned, and the dying geckos were caught and eaten by house cats. The cats received doses of DDT, which had been concentrated as it passed from fly to gecko to cat, and the cats died. This led to another plague, now of rats. They not only devoured the people's food but also threatened them with yet another plague — this time the genuine article, bubonic plague. The government of Borneo became so concerned that cats were parachuted into the area in an attempt to restore the balance.These are only three of many examples of our misunderstanding and mistreatment of the environment. Every thing we do to the environment will in one way or another affect other living things around us. Every time a factory dumps chemicals, a power plant burns coal, a corporation builds a new resort, or hunters overkill a species of animal, a chain reaction is started that may have harmful, long-range consequences. The more we try to understand, control, and compensate for those consequences before they are set in motion, the more harmoniously we will be able to live on this delicately balanced "tiny spaceship".1. Everything we do to our environment will ______.A) improve the complicated web of lifeB) break the finely balanced mechanism of lifeC) affect the quality of lifeD) destroy the cause/effect relationship of life2.

Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more (47) when they are. After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will (48) be happy when they are out of that stage.We always tell ourselves that our life will be (49) when our spouse gets his or her act together. When we get a nice car, and are able to go on a nice vocation when we (50) . The truth is that there's no better time than right now. If not now, when? Our life will always be filled with (51) .It's best to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway.One of my favorite (52) comes from Alfred Souza. He said: "for a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin-real life. But there was always some (53) in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life." This (54) has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So (55) every moment that you have.And remember that time waits for no one. So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school; until you get married, until you get divorced; until you have kids; until you retire; until you get a new car or home; until spring; until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy…Happiness is a journey, not a (56) .

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.There are people in Italy who can't stand soccer. Not all Canadians love hockey. A similar situation exists in America, where there are those individuals you may be one of them who yawn or even frown when somebody mentions baseball. Baseball to them means boring hours watching grown men in funny tight outfits standing around in a field staring away while very little of anything happens. They tell you it's a game better suited to the 19th century, slow, quiet, gentlemanly. These are the same people you may be one of them who love football because there's the sport that glorifies "the hit".By contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent, still. On TV the game is fractured into a dozen perspectives, replays, close-ups. The geometry of the game, however, is essential to understanding it. Y ou will contemplate the game from one point as a painter does his subjects; you may, of course, project yourself into the game. It is in this projection that the game affords so much space and time for involvement. The TV won't do it for you.Take, for example, the third baseman. Y ou sit behind the third base dugout and you watch him watching home plate. His legs are apart, knees flexed. His arms hang loose. He does a lot of this. The skeptic still cannot think of any other sports so still, so passive. But watch what happens every time the pitcher throws; the third baseman goes up on his toes, flexes his arms or brings the glove to a point in front of him, takes a step right or left, backward or forward, perhaps he glances across the field to check his first baseman's position. Suppose the pitch is a ball. "Nothing happened," you say, "I could have had my eyes closed."The skeptic and the innocent must play the game. And this involvement in the stands is no more intellectual than listening to music is. Watch the third baseman. Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocket in your glove; watch the eyes of the batter, the speed of the bat, the sound of horsehide on wood. If football is a symphony of movement and theatre, baseball is chamber music, a spacious interlocking of notes, chorus and responses.57. The passage is mainly concerned with ______.A) the different tastes of people for sports B) the different characteristics of sportsC) the attraction of football D) the attraction of baseball58. Those who don't like baseball may complain that ______.A) it is only to the taste of the old B) it involves fewer players than footballC) it is not exciting enough D) it is pretentious and looks funny59. The author admits that ______.A) baseball is too peaceful for the youngB) baseball may seem boring when watched on TVC) football is more attracting than baseballD) baseball is more interesting than football60. By stating "I could have had my eyes closed" the author means (Line 7, Para. 3, last sentence) ______.A) the third baseman would rather sleep than play the gameB) the author could close his eyes without watching the game, because it was always the same.C) the third baseman is no good at baseball that he could finish the game with eyes closed allthe time and do his work wellD) the consequence was too bad he could not bear to see it61. We can safely conclude that the author ______.A) likes football B) hates football C) hates baseball D) likes baseballPassage T woQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.From Boston to Los Angeles, from New Y ork City to Chicago to Dallas, museums are either planning, building, or wrapping up wholesale expansion programs. These programs already have radically altered facades and floor plans or are expected to do so in the not-too- distant future.In New Y ork City alone, six major institutions have spread up and out into the air space and neighborhoods around them or are preparing to do so.The reasons for this confluence of activity are complex, but one factor is a consideration everywhere —space. With collections expanding, with the needs and functions of museums changing, empty space has become a very precious commodity.Probably nowhere in the country is this more true than at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which has needed additional space for decades and which received its last significant facelift ten years ago. Because of the space crunch, the Art Museum has become increasingly cautious in considering acquisitions and donations of art, in some cases passing up opportunities to strengthen its collections.Deaccessing — or selling off — works of art has taken on new importance because of the museum's space problems. And increasingly, curators have been forced to juggle gallery space, rotating one masterpiece into public view while another is sent to storage.Despite the clear need for additional gallery and storage space, however, "the museum has no plan, no plan to break out of its envelope in the next fifteen years," according to Philadelphia Museum of Art's president.62. This passage is mainly about the need for additional space in which of the following?A) A neighborhood museum. B) The Philadelphia Museum of Art.C) Museums in the United States. D) An aerospace museum.63. Which of the following is NOT cited in the passage as a reason why most museums need more space?A) Changing needs. B) More curators.C) Changing functions. D) Enlarged collections.64. It can be inferred from the passage that the Philadelphia Museum of Art only shows ______.A) its largest paintings B) a portion of its paintingsC) paintings by American artists D) paintings it wants to sell65. What has the Philadelphia Museum of Art been obliged to do because of insufficient space?A) Hire fifteen curators to plan gallery displays.B) Strengthen its collection through donations.C) Be cautious in allowing the public to view its artwork.D) Be selective in accepting additional artwork.66. The word "confluence" (Line 1, Para. 3) has the meaning of ______.A) influence B) conclusion C) joining D) expansion。

Western Festival: Welcome or Reject?Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1.For questions 1-7, markY(for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N(for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG(for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage.For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. Our dreams combine verbal, visual and emotional stimuli into a sometimes broken, nonsensical but often entertainingstory line. We can sometimes even solve problems in our sleep. Or can we? Many experts disagree on exactly what the purpose of our dreams might be. Are they strictly random brain impulses, or are our brains actually working through issues from our daily life while we sleep -- as a sortof coping mechanism? Should we even bother to interpret our dreams? Many say yes, that we have a great deal to learn from our dreams.Why do we Dream?For centuries, we've tried to figure out just why our brains play these nightly shows for us. Early civilizations thought dream worlds were real, physical worlds that they could enter only from their dream state. Researchers continue to toss around many theories about dreaming. Those theories essentially fall into two categories:● The idea that dreams a re only physiological stimulations● The idea that dreams are psychologically necessaryPhysiological theories are based on the idea that we dream in order to exercise various neural connections that some researchers believe affect certain types of learning. Psychological theories are based onthe idea that dreaming allows us to sort through problems, events of the day or things that are requiring a lot of our attention. Some of these theorists think dreams might be prophetic. Many researchers andscientists also believe that perhaps it is a combination of the two theories.Dreaming and the BrainWhen we sleep, we go through five sleep stages. The first stage isa very light sleep from which it is easy to wake up. The second stage moves into a slightly deeper sleep, and stages three and four represent our deepest sleep. Our brain activity throughout these stages is gradually slowing down so that by deep sleep, we experience nothing but delta brain waves -- the slowest brain waves. About 90 minutes after we go to sleep and after the fourth sleep stage, we begin REM sleep.Rapid eye movement (REM) was discovered in 1953 by University of Chicago researchers Eugene Aserinsky, a graduate student in physiology, and Nathaniel Kleitman, Ph.D., chair of physiology. REM sleep isprimarily characterized by movements of the eyes and is the fifth stage of sleep.How to Improve Your Dream RecallIt is said that five minutes after the end of a dream, we have forgotten 50 percent of the dream's content. Ten minutes later, we've forgotten 90 percent of its content. Why is that? We don't forget our daily actions that quickly. The fact that they are so hard to remember makes their importance seem less.There are many resources both on the Web and in print that willgive you tips on how to improve your recall of dreams. Those who believe we have a lot to learn about ourselves from our dreams are big proponents of dream journals. Here are some steps you can take to increase your dream recall:● When you go to bed, t ell yourself you will remember your dreams.● Set your alarm to go off every hour and half so you'll wake up around the times that you leave REM sleep -- when you're most likely to remember your dreams. (Or, drink a lot of water before you go to bed to ensure you have to wake up at least once in the middle of the night!)● Keep a pad and pencil next to your bed.● Try to wake up slowly to remain within the "mood" of your last dream. Common Dream Themes and Their Interpretations● Being naked in publ icMost of us have had the dream at some point that we're at school, work or some social event, and we suddenly realize we forgot to put on clothes! Experts say this means: ◆ We're trying to hide something (and without clothes we have a hard time doing that).◆ We're not prepared for something, like a presentation or test (and now everyone is going to know -- we're exposed!).If we're naked but no one notices, then the interpretation is that whatever we're afraid of is unfounded. If we don't care that we're naked, the interpretation is that we're comfortable with who we are.● FallingYou're falling, falling, falling... and then you wake up. This is a very common dream and is said to symbolize insecurities and anxiety. Something in your life is essentially out of control and there isnothing you can do to stop it. Another interpretation is that you have a sense of failure about something. Maybe you're not doing well in schoolor at work and are afraid you're going to be fired or expelled. Again, you feel that you can't control the situation.● Being chasedThe ever-popular chase dream can be extremely frightening. What it usually symbolizes is that you're running away from your problems. What that problem is depends on who is chasing you. It may be a problem at work, or it may be something about yourself that you know is destructive. For example, you may be drinking too much, and your dream may be telling you that your drinking is becoming a real problem.● Taking an exam (or forgetting that you have one)This is another very common dream. You suddenly realize you are supposed to be taking an exam at that very moment. You might be running through the hallways and can't find the classroom. This type of dreamcan have several variations that have similar meanings. (Maybe your pen won't write, so you can't finish writing your answers.) What experts say this may mean is that you're being scrutinized about something or feel you're being tested -- maybe you're facing a challenge you don't think you're up to. You don't feel prepared or able to hold up to the scrutiny. It may also mean there is something you've neglected that you know needs your attention.● FlyingMany flying dreams are the result of lucid dreaming (清醒梦). Notall flying dreams are, however. Typically, dreaming that you are flying means you are on top of things. You are in control of the things thatmatter to you. Or, maybe you've just gained a new perspective on things. It may also mean you are strong willed and feel like no one and nothing can defeat you. If you are having problems maintaining your flight, someone or something may be standing in the way of you having control. If you are afraid while flying, you may have challenges that you don't feel up to.● Running, but going now hereThis theme can also be part of the chasing dream. You're trying to run, but either your legs won't move or you simply aren't going anywhere -- as if you were on a treadmill (踏车). According to some, this dream means you have too much on your plate. You're trying to do too many things at once and can't catch up or ever get ahead.1. This passage mainly discusses different theories about why we have dreams at night.2. Early theories held that dreams were reflection of people’s real, physical worlds.3. According to physiological theories, dreaming allows us to sort through problems or events of the day that require our attention.4. REM occurs at the third and fourth stage during which we experience the deepest sleep.5. The reason why dreams do not seem important is that they are very difficult to remember.6. Trying to get recorded what you said or did in your dream can help increase your dream recall.7. If a person dreams he is naked but is not noticed by others, it means what he is afraid of is groundless.1.[Y][N][NG]2.[Y][N][NG]3.[Y][N][NG]4.[Y][N][NG]5.[Y][N][NG]6.[Y][N][NG]7.[Y][N][NG]8.

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank followingthe passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 47 to 56 are based on the following passage.A department store’s inputs include the l and upon which the building is located, the labor of the employees, (47) ______ in the form of building, equipment and merchandise, and the management skills of the store managers. On a farm, the operation system is the transformation that occurs when a fa rmer’s (48) ______ (land, equipment, labor, etc.) are converted into such outputs as corn, wheat or milk. The exact form of the conversion process (49) ______ from industry to industry, but it is an (50) ______phenomenon that exists in every industry. Economists refer to this (51) ______ of resources into goods and services as the production function. For all operation systems, the general goal is to create some kind of value-added outputs that are worth more to consumers than just the sum of the inputs. To the consumers, the resulting products (52) ______ utility due to the form, the time, or the place of their availability from the conversion process.However, the process is subject to random changes. Unplanned or uncontrollable influences may cause the actual output to differ from planned output. Random fluctuations can arise from external disruption(fire, floods or lightning, for example) or from (53) ______ problems inherent in the conversion process. Inherent variability of equipment, material imperfections, and human errors all affect output quality (54)______. In fact, random variations are the rule rather than the exception in production processes; therefore, (55) _____ variation becomes a major management task.The function of the feedback is to provide (56) ______ linkages. Without some feedback of information, management personnel cannot control operations because they don' t know the results of their directions.A) offerB) capitalC) mediumD)difficultE) variesF) differentlyG) proposalH) transformation I) beautifullyJ) economicK) reducingL) internalM) inputsN) affordO) informationSection BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year, or manured(施肥)a field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much so that on all the highest pillarsin the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the greatestnumber of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized.Animals fight; so do savages (野蛮人); hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently --- this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done --- is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some way of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won. And it not only has won, but, because it has won, has been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that might is right.That is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history, in which millions of people were killed or disabled. And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets --- while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life --- nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages.57. In the opening sentence the author indicates that ________.A) most history books were written by conquerors, generals and soldiers.B) those who truly helped civilization forward is rarely mentioned in history books.C) history books focus more on conquerors than on those who helped civilization forward.D) conquerors, generals and soldiers should not be mentioned in history books.58. In the author’s opinion, the countries that rul ed over a large number of other countries are ________.A) certainly both the greatest and the most civilizedB) neither the most influential nor the most civilized.C) possibly the most civilized but not the most powerful.D) likely the greatest in some sense but not the most civilized.59. The meaning of “That is what going to war means; it means saying that might is right.”(Last sentence of Paragraph 2) is that________.A) those who fight believe that the winner is right and the loser wrong.B) only those who are powerful have the right to go to war.C) those who are right should fight against those who are wrong.D) in a war only those who are powerful will win.60. In the third paragraph, what the author wants to convey to us is that ________.A) World War I and World War II are different from previous wars.B) our age is not much better than those of the past.C) modern time is not so civilized compared with the past.D) we have fought fewer wars but suffered heavier casualties.61. This passage is most likely taken from an article entitled________.A) War and World PeaceB) Creators of CivilizationC) Civilization and HistoryD) Who Should Be RememberedPassage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the massacre on the road may be regarded as a social problem.In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmlesspeople or ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one's actions could bring death or damage to others.A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence. Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 per cent ofall automobile accidents can be attributed to the psychologicalcondition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort drivers' reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise be evident. The experts warn that it is vital for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one's emotions under control.Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Street walkers regularly violate traffic regulations; they are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents. And many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road.Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised bothat the point of manufacture and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident expertsstill worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constantcare and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things pose a threat to those with whom they share the road.62. The word “massacre” in line 3 paragraph one means _____A) mass-killing. B) disaster. C) tragedy. D) accident.63. What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage?A) To show that the motor vehicle is a very dangerous invention.B) To promote understanding between careless drivers and street walkers.C) To discuss traffic problems and propose possible solutions.D) To warn drivers of the importance of safe driving.64. According to the passage, traffic accidents may be regarded asa social problem because _____.A) autos have become most destructive to mankindB) people usually pay little attention to law and moralityC) civilization brings much harm to peopleD) the lack of virtue is becoming more severe65. Why does the author mention the psychological condition of the driver in Paragraph Three?A) To give an example of the various reasons for road accidents.B) To show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally healthy.C) To show some of the inaccurate estimations by researchers.D) To illustrate the hidden tensions in the course of driving.66. Who are NOT mentioned as being responsible for the road accidents?A) Careless bicycle-riders.B) Mindless people walking in the street.C) Irresponsible drivers.D) Irresponsible manufactures of automobiles.Part V Cloze(15 minutes)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D) on the right side of the paper. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Today the world's economy is going through two great changes, both bigger than an Asian financial crisis here or a European monetary union there.The first change is that a lot of industrial_67_is moving from the United States, Western Europe and Japan to _68 _countries in Latin America, South-East Asia and Eastern Europe.

Model Test 1DictationMaking a ComplaintComplaning about faulty goods or bad services is never easy. / But if something you have bought is faulty or of poor quality, / you have to ask for a favor to get it right. / Complaints should be made to a responsible person. / Go back to the shop where you bought the goods, / taking with you any receipt you may have. / In a small store the assistant may also be the owner so youcan complain directly. / In a chain store, ask the manager. / If you telephone, ask the name of the person who handles your enquiry; / otherwise you may never find out who dealt with the complaint later. / If you do not want to do it in person, write a letter. / Stick to the facts and keep a copy of what you write. / At this stage you should give any receipt numbers, / but you do not need to give receipts or other papers to prove you bought the article.CompositionAn Electronic Dictionary or a Traditional Paper One?Dictionaries play a very important role in language study. When it comes to whether to choose an electronic dictionary or a traditional paper one, different people will offer different opinions. Though electronic dictionaries are more popular now and often quicker and easier to use, traditonal paper dictionaries are the better tool for study, especially of a foreign language.Traditional dictionaries, by providing more detailed definitions and examples, have greater capacity of vocabulary and better serve for study purposes. Some famous publishing houses have issued a lot of authoritative dictionaries like Oxford and Webster. People can choose any paper format from many different publishers as a study tool while there are frequently many errors in electronic ones. In addition, electronic dictionaries do not necessarily provide enough detail to provide accurate information.Though paper dictionaries are generally much heavier than electronic ones, students can use them at any time and in any place because they do not rely on electricity. Though the size of the letters in some dictionaries is very small, it does not consume energy unless some count the energy a person uses to carry it around! Think of all the money people could save on batteries, too!When people travel, an electronic dictionary may be more convenient. However, if somebody wants to read a book in a foreign language, a traditional dictionary is the perfect tool. Paper dictionaries are not merely a tool to check the meaning of words, but also a book which can be used to increase your vocabulary.

Some of them prefer to live alone by renting a room near school, while others prefer to live with classmates on campus. As for me, I like to live with classmates in group domitory on campus.There are several vital reasons for my opinion. First, it is very convenient to ask classmates questions about courses and have various discussions with them. The main task of students is to achieve outstanding academic performance rather than anything else. Living on campus benefits not only me but also my classmates as we can help each other. Second, it can make me have better personal relations. It is not enough to communicate with classmates and friends just in classroom. Instead we need see and talk to each other frequently in spare time so as to maintain friendship. Third, it can save me much time. Living outside school will absolutely cost me more time to go to classes and get back. Put all the wasted time together, and that is really a considerable amount. With the saved time, I can study longer to improve my GPA (Grade Point Average平均绩点；平均分). Meanwhile, I can also participate in more association activities in order to make new friends and enrich my school life.In conclusion, living on campus is the best choice for college students. It helps them to perform better in study and establish better personal relations. Contrarily, living off campus would produce adverse impact and therefore should be avoided.

Would you like to come on time at 5: 00 pm today, to Room 6 ofHoliday Inn Hotel? I’m sure we will have a very good time and enjoy ourselves thoroughly.Yours,FredModel Test 3DictationLet Him Do It HimselfLet children learn to evaluate their own work. / A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time. / He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. / Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like the other people’s. / In the same way, when children learn to do all the other things, / for example, to walk, run, climb, ride a bicycle, they learn to do them without being told. / They compare their performance with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. / But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his own mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. / We do it all for him as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake / unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. / Soon he became dependent on the teacher. / Let him do it himself.CompositionThe Effects of Technology on LearningThe technological advances of the last few years have been amazing. Never before have students had such a wide variety of resources to help them with their studies. Those who can take advantage of these resources have the opportunity to learn about more subjects and to acquire more in-depth knowledge. In my opinion, students can indeed learn more quickly with the help of modern technology.The piece of technology most important as a learning tool must be the computer. Paired with the Internet, it allows students to research topics more quickly and thoroughly and to write up their findings more rapidly as well. Furthermore, advances in many fields are being made so fast these days that it is impossible for textbooks to keep up. Technology allows students to keep breast of the latest development. Also, it cannot be denied that many students enjoy using resources in their studies. Because of this, they are more likely to pursue subjects in greater depth.For all these reasons, I believe that technology can bring about great benefit to today’s students. Of course, it is still possible without the aid of such devices, but I believe that those students who are fortunate enough to have access to technological resources should take every advantage of them.

From my point of view, being an only child offers more adavantages than disadvantages.In comparison with the life in a big family, the life of being an only child has four obvious advantages. Firstly, the child enjoys the privilege of being the centre of attention and can get all the love and care of the parents. Secondly, the parents are usually ablt to satisfy all the marerial needs of the child. Thirdly, the child is completely free from the possible conflicts often found in a big family. Lastly, because of lack of mutual help and because the parents cannot be with the child all the time, the child is likely to develop an independent character that will enable him or her to succeed more easily in society.Although the disadvantages of being an only child are also obvious, such as lack of playmates at home and the possible overindulgence in some cases, it seems to me that being an only child is more advantageous.

Different people have different ways to beat stress, anf my remedies depend on the type of pressure I have. Ususally the most common stresses I encounter are related to work, friends and myself.The way I deal with work-related stress is to stop working for a while. If I find myself getting tired of the work, I would stop and talk to my colleagues for a while. And then I will get back to work again with enthusiasm. And when I encounter stress brought by my friends, I often talk about the problem with them openly and work out a solution together in an honest way. Through this way, I can mostly be understood by my friends and our relationship will probably turn out to be better than before. The last type of stress is actually caused by myself. If I feel exhausted and anxious about my future, I would adjust myself and tell myself that I can do my best. Sometimes, I would ask for advice from my friends. And often, their encouragement helps me re-establish confidence and support to go further.Conclusively, my ways of reducing stress are avoiding, talking and facing it. It’s with these methods that I maintain physical and spiritual health and guarantee good relationships with others.

For example, weeks before Christmas, countless shops, restaurants and hotels have got ready with Christmas decorations. However, certain traditional Chinese festivals are being neglected.In fact, the Western festivals are celebrated in China quite differently from in the West. For example, Christmas in the Western world is mainly a spiritual festival. Then why have the Western holidays taken root in China? The chief reason is that businessmen know that they can make money by producing holidays or encouraging extra dining and celebrating.I think the popularity of Western holidays does indicate the success of the economic reform. Certainly economic development has brought extra money to many people in China, but we should not waste our money on useless things. We should not be led by those businessmen, rather, we should take the opportunity to relax and enjoy ourselves. Remember, holiday means happiness, not spending.

They think this can help them learn more than they can from universities in their own country, especially when they go to a developed country where they can catch up with the pace of scientific and technical advance of the world from that country’s modern lab facilities. In addition, they can pick up the latest development of the living language there more quickly, develop their ability of coping with the routine matters such as finding a part-time job, renting a house and helping with the housework, and learn many new things to widen their views and broaden their minds.But some people don’t agree to it. They think that attending a college or university abroad also has many disadvantages which outweigh the advantages. They hold that students studying in a foreign country will have more difficulties in both life and study. The most serious problem is the language barriers. They have to spend much time learning a foreign language and even if they have learned the language, they still can’t understand thoroughly what the foreigners and teachers say just because of the unfamiliar culture background and social customs. So if they are not persons full of courage, flexibility, and determination, they are most likely to fail and learn nothing eventually. Besides, since costs and expenditure are much higher than those in their native country, most overseas students have to work for a living, and will find it impossible for them to pay all attention to studying. So it is of benefit to them if they study in their own country.The above two viewpoints, I should say, are all reasonable in some aspects. But I support the first kind of people. People should attend a college or university in a foreign country if they can. In this way they can learn not only the useful knowledge of science but also the culture and customs of other nations. Besides, they can learn some new ideas, bring in some fresh air in our way of thinking and promote the development of our country.
