Most men worked in an office, a factory or some other place away from home. Since the man earned the money, he paid the bills. The money was used for food, clothes, a house and other family needs. The man made most of the decisions. He was the boss. In the traditional marriage, the woman seldom worked away from the house. She stayed at home to care for the children and her husband. She cooked the meals, cleaned the house, washed the clothes and did other household work. Her job at home was very important. In recent years, many couples continue to have atraditional relationship of this kind. The man has a job and earns the money for the family. The woman stays at home and cares for the children and the house. (66) Many Americans are happy with this kind of marriage. But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities. There are two important differences in male and female roles now. One is that both men and women have many more choices. They may choose to marry or to stay single. They may choose to work or stay at home. Both men and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them. A second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many decisions and responsibilities are shared. The husband and wife may choose to have children, or they may not. If they have children, the man may take care of them some of the time, all of the time, or not at all. The woman may want to stay at home and take care of the children. Or she may want to go to work. Men and women now decide these things together in a marriage. (67) Many married people now share these decisions and the responsibilities of their families.46．Which of the following is NOT true in the traditional marriage?A．Men worked at a job to earn money for the family.B．The woman made most of decisions.C．The woman stayed at home to care for the children.D．The man paid the bills.正确答案：B47．In recent years, ______.A．young couples reject the traditional relationshipB．the woman has a job and earns money for the familyC．the woman doesn’t stay at home and care for the children and the houseD．the roles of men and women have begun to change正确答案：D48．Men and women may now choose all the following EXCEPT to______.A．marry or to stay singleB．work or to stay at homeC．have the roles that are comfortable for themD．leave their jobs just because they have children正确答案：D49．The following are all now true EXCEPT that______.A．they may choose to have children or notB．the man may take care of the children some of the timeC．the woman may want to go to workD．the woman is the most important person in the house正确答案：D50．Which of the following is NOT true?A．The man was the boss in the traditional marriage.B．The woman’s job at home was very important in the past.C．Many Americans still have a traditional marriage.D．Everyone tries to get married.正确答案：DMost young people enjoy some forms of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling, swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind, football, hockey, golf, tennis, or it may be mountaineering. Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.(68) Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind that it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods. If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should not be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches”between”teams”of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their live may depend, there is obviously teamwork. The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities. A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. (69) They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skills and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.51．Mountaineering is a sport which involves______.A．hardshipB．coldC．physical riskD．all of the above正确答案：D52．The main difference between a sport and a game lies in______.A．uniformB．activityC．rulesD．skills正确答案：C53．Mountaineering is also a team sport because______.A．it involves rulesB．it involves matches between teamsC．it requires mental and physical qualitiesD．mountaineers depend on each other while climbing正确答案：D54．Which of the following is true?A．Mountaineers compete against each other.B．Mountaineers compete against other teams.C．Mountaineers compete against nature.D．Mountaineers compete against international standard.正确答案：C55．What is the best title for the passage?A．MountaineeringB．Mountain ClimbersC．Mountaineering Is Different from Golf and FootballD．Mountaineering Is More Dangerous than Other Sports正确答案：AMost cities and states in the U. S. collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy. You must ask when you move into a new community how the local sales tax is, and what items are and are not taxable. (70) Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably, from one.or two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others. The New York City sales tax, for example, is currently 8% , so if you buy a pair of $40 shoes you will actually have to pay $43.20. This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention making everything more expensive). We say in America that only two things in life are unavoidable; one is death and the other is taxes. Another thing that makes money exchanges more complicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, butWesterners are still putting up with this indignity. Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, bakers, hairdressers and all sorts of other people must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, will make up the difference. If you don’t, the service person can’t earn a living. Tipping also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes) , but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and how much. There is another kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to give something( either cash or a bottle of whisky) to the mailman at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and colleagues.56．This passage is about______.A．shopping and tippingB．sales and taxesC．sales taxes and tippingD．sales taxes and people正确答案：C57．According to the passage, if you buy a pair of $50 shoes in the New York city, you pay an extra______as sales tax.A．$4.5B．$4C．$5D．$5.50正确答案：B58．Usually, cab drivers______.A．get high wages from the employerB．get great benefits from the employerC．get low wages from the employerD．get high bonus from the employer正确答案：C59．According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A．The Chinese people have to give tips in western countries.B．The westerners don’t have to give high tips in their own country.C．Barbers, hotel bellboys and all sorts of other people can earn a living if they are not tipped.D．Tipping varies from place to place, generally in the area of 20% of your bill.正确答案：A60．Usually, taxable items and the amount of tax______.A．have no difference from place to place in the U.S.B．are over 15% in the U. S.C．have been put an end to in the U.S.D．vary from place to place in the U. S.正确答案：DIn a classroom in any country, the teacher teaches more than art or history or language. He or she teaches something behind the culture of the country. In a country such as the United States, people with different history, culture and language join together and they pay much attention to personal ideas. Teachers try to make each student special. Students do not have to remember a lot of information, instead, they work and find answers by themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age students learn to have their own ideas. Their education encourages personal thought. The importance is placed on how to arrive at an answer and not just to get the correct answer. In most Asian countries people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the education there pays more attention to group goals. Children in China and Japan often work together and help each other on homework. In the classroom, the ways of teaching are often very traditional. The teacher says, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students repeat rules or information that they have been taught in order to keep them in mind. In many ways these differences come from different educational ideas. In Western countries teachers are taught to help students to learn. They make it easier for the students to learn by themselves. In some Asian countries, however, teachers often feel that their job is to pass knowledge to students.61．Do students in the United States have to remember a lot of information?正确答案：No, they don’t have to.62．There is often discussion in the classroom in America, isn’t there?正确答案：Yes, there is.63．What does the education in the United States encourage?正确答案：The education in the, United States encourages personal thought.64．Which does education in some Asian countries pay more attention to, group goals or personal ideas?正确答案：It pays more attention to group goals.65．What do the teachers in Asian countries think about their job?正确答案：They think their job is to pass knowledge to students.Section ADirections: Translate the following English into Chinese.66．Many Americans are happy with this kind of marriage. But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities.正确答案：很多美国人都很满意这种婚姻形式，而另外一些美国人则对婚姻和家庭责任持有不同的观点。

福建省⾼校专升本统⼀招⽣考试英语⽔平测试样题（1）Part Ⅱ. Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 passages in this part. Each of the first three passages 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. Answer the questions on the fourth passage.Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.People are making more and more demands on the world’s natural resources. If babies born in 1991 live for 80 years, the human population of the world may be anything from twice to three times the present total by 2070. In other words, they will have to share what is left of the earth’s resources with between 10 and 15 billion other people. But hopefully there will be a significant decrease in the growth of population. What if this does not happen? The answer is that by the time before the babies born in 1991 reach the age of 40 they could be sharing resources with as many as 10 billion other people.Limiting the pollution of water and the atmosphere, controlling the output of the chemicals that may be causing global warming the climate change, and eating less meat may go some way to help, but can anyone seriously imagine that these are going to solve the problems of the “baby class”of ’ 91?There is no getting away from the fact that people are responsible for the present state of the world, and only people can solve the problems. The decisions have to be taken by people as members of national and local governments; as leaders and decision-makers in industry; as scientists and technologists; as professional engineers and designers; as religious leaders and as individual citizens.31. Which of the following can be the title for this passage?A. Making More Demands on the Natural Resources.B. Limiting the Pollution of Air and Water.C. Reducing the World Population.D. Saving the Babies of ’91?32. What is meant by “the problems of the ‘baby class’ of ’91”?A. A large number of babies will be born after 1991.B. Babies born in 1991 won’t live a long life.C. The children of 1991 are not given good education.D. The world will be over populated in 40 years.33. This short passage is probably taken from .A. a news reportB. a science fictionC. an article by a medical workerD. a government report34. It is implied in the second paragraph that .A. limiting the pollution is of the great importanceB. not all the people know how to save our planetC. our planet is becoming warmer because of the pollutionD. we should eat less so that more people can be fed35. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the last paragraph as people responsible for the present state of the world?A. OfficialsB. Industrialists.C. Businessmen.D. Scientists.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Accidents are the major cause of death for all young people under 35. They are the fourth most frequent cause of death for all age groups in the U. S. —fourth only to heart disease, cancer and stroke. Each year thousands of Americans lost their lives in accidents, and thousands are permanently crippled.By far the most common types of home accidents are falls. Each year over ten thousand Americans meet death in this way, within the four walls of their home, or in yards around their house. Nine out of ten of the victims are over 65. But people of all ages experience serious injuries as a result of home falls. It is impossible to guess how many injuries result from falls, but they must run into millions.Falls can be a problem for all ages. In the process of growing up, children or teenagers often will fall. Fortunately their bodies are springy, so they may suffer only skinned knees, bumps and bruises. But in an older person, the same fall may cause a broken arm, leg, and hip or other injury that requires hospitalization or medical care. As a person grows older, he may not fall any more often, but the result usually are more serious and may even be fatal.Preschool children are often killed by falls from open windows and porches. Their normal curiosity and the urge to climb lead them to dangerous heights. Therefore, it is a parent’s duty to keep small children away from stairways, open windows and porch railing. Gates, bars, and other means of protection should be used whenever possible.Adults fall because they don’t look where they are going. Running or taking two steps at a time invites falls. In trying to save an extra trip up the stairs by loading his arms with bundles or boxes that keep him from seeing where he is going, an adult may find it safer to make an extra trip.36. The most common type of home accidents is .A. chokingB. fallingC. drowningD. burning37. In this passage the author states that .A. seat belts save livesB. most accidents are avoidableC. heart disease is the greatest killer of AmericansD. the death rate from work-related injuries is increasing38. Most victims of falls are at least 65 years of age because .A. old people fall more often than younger peopleB. bones become stiff and brittle with ageC. elderly people take unnecessary risksD. old people don’t look where they are going as a result of poor eyesight39. Adults are injured in falls as a result of .A. boldness（勇敢）B. dizziness（晕眩）C. carelessnessD. weakness40. From the page we may conclude that .A. as a cause of death in America, accidents rank firstB. the risk of accidents increases with a person’s ageC. the head is injured more than any other part of the bodyD. most people do not realize how serious falls can beQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Each year millions of people suffer from the effect of alcohol and drug abuse, getting into illness, crime and death.In the United States alone, 10 to 12 million men and women and their loved ones and families suffer from alcohol. Additional millions abuse alcohol at great cost in health and in lost productivity.In Canada, it is said, “Alcohol increases business—for hospitals, ambulance drivers, doctors, and nurses.”Alcohol abuse and dangerous drugs have swept through Europe. Soviet culture, too, is paying enormous social and economic costs.Developing nations are bothered by drup problems—both ancient and modern. In this part of the world hundreds of millions request doctor to ease their miseries and problems in life.These methods of coping are unhealthy solutions! It is time we understood why and found the way out of today’s greatest social problem surrounding this supposedly advanced 20th century.41. This passage is primarily about .A. the worldwide drug and alcohol abuseB. the greatest social problem in EuropeC. the methods of coping with alcohol abuseD. the enormous cost in health and in lost productivity42. How many people in the United States have suffered form alcohol abuse?A. About 5%~6% of the whole population.B. About one fourth of the population.C. 10 to 12 million people and their families.D. Hundreds of millions.43. Which of the following Statements is NOT true?A. Alcohol and drug abuse is becoming a burning question.B. The author suggests that the public cope with alcohol and drug abuse.C. The alcohol abuse has damaged health.D. Addicting agents come into being to treat the addicts.44. The author strongly implies that the public should .A. reveal the relationship of heavy drinking and illnessB. help drug users to ease their miseriesC. take measures to improve alcohol businessD. seek for proper solutions to drug problems in time45. According to the author, the drug abuse problem in Soviet Union .A. is costing more money than in EuropeB. cannot be solved because it cost too much moneyC. becomes a threat to societyD. is also severeQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage. Complete each of the sentences with less than 10 words.I have been studying optimists（乐观主义者）and pessimists（悲观主义者）for the past 25 years. The defining characteristic of pessimists is that they tend to believe bad events will last a long time, will undermine everything they do, and are their own fault. The optimists, who are confronted with the same hard knocks of this world, think about misfortune in the opposite way. They tend to believe defeat is just a temporary setback, that its causes are confined to this case. The optimists believe defeat is not fault; circumstances, bad luck, or other people brought it about. Such people are not bothered by defeat. Confronted by a bad situation, they perceive it as a challenge and try harder.These two habits about thinking about causes have consequences. Literally hundreds of studies show that pessimists give up more easily and get depressed more often. These experiments also show that optimists do much better in school and at work. They regularly exceed the predictions of aptitude tests. When optimists run for office, they are more apt to be elected than pessimists are. Their health is unusually good. Evidence suggests they may even live longer.Twenty-five years of study has convinced me that if we habitually believe, as does the pessimist, that misfortune is our fault, is enduring, and will undermine everything we do, more of it will happen to us if we believe otherwise. I am also convinced that if we are in the grip of this view, we will even get physically sick more often. Pessimistic prophecies（预⾔）are self-fulfilling.Questions:46. What has the author been doing in the past 25 years?47. What is the striking characteristic of the pessimist?48. What is typical of the optimist?49. The consequence of the pessimist doing is that .50. So, we can come to the conclusion that .PartⅢ Vocabulary and StructureDirections: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Each of the three passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:In the traditional marriage,the man worked at a job to earn money for eht family.Most men worked in an office ,a factor or some other place away from the home .Since the man earned the money ,he paid the bills.The money was used for food,clothes,a house and other family needs.The man made most of th decisions.He was the boss.In the traditional marriage, the woman seldom worked away from the house.She stayed at home to care for the children and her husband.She cooked the meals ,cleaned the house,washed the clothes an did other household work.Her job at home was important.In recent years,many couples continue to have a traditional relationship of this kind .The man has a job and earns the money for the family.The woman stays at home and cares for the children and the house.May Americans are happy with this kind of marriage.But some other Americans have a different impression of marriage and family responsibilities.There are two important differences in male and females roles now .One is that both men and woman have many more choices.They may choose to marry or to stay single.They may choose to work or stay at home .Both men and women may choose roles that are comfortable for them.A second difference in male and female roles is that within marriage many decisions and responsibilities are shared.The husband and wife may choose to have children ,or they may not,If they have children ,the man may take care of them some of the time ,all of the time ,or not at all.The woman may want to stay at home and take care of the children .Or she may want to go to work.Men and women now decide these things together in marriage.Many marrige people now share these decisions and the responsibilities of their families.46. Which of the following is NOT true in the traditional marriage?A.Men worked at ajob t earn money for the familyB.The woman stayed most of decisionsC.The woman stayed at home to care for children.D.The man paid the bills .47.In recent year______.A.young couples reject the traditional relationshipB.The woman has a job and earn the money for the familyC.The woman doesn't at home and care for the children and the houseD.The roles of men and women have begun to change48.Men and women may now choose all the following EXCEPT to ______.A.marry or to stay singleA.Work or to stay at homeB.Have the roles that are comfortable for themC.Leave their jobs just because they have children49.The following are all now true EXCEPT that_______.A.they may choose tohave children or notB.The man may take car of the children some of the timeC.The woman may want to go to workD.The woman is the most important person in the house50.Which of the following is NOT true?A.THE man was the boss in the traditional marriage.B.The woman's job at home was very important in the pastC.Man y Americans still have a traditional marriage.D.Everyone tries to get married.Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity.It may be walking ,cycling ,swimming,or in winter,skating or skiing.It may be a game of some kind football,hockey ,golf ,tennis,or it may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment .Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship,and t take riskson high mountains?This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and no t a game .There are no man-made rules,as there are for such games as golf and football.There are,of course ,rules of a different kind that it would be dangerous to ignore,but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people .Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports,we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering if no t a "team game ".We should no bi mistaken in this .There are ,it is true ,no "matches"between "teams"of climbers,but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend ,there is obviously teamwork.The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man .He has to fight the forces of nature.His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year.A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty,and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties.But it is not unusual for a man of fifity or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps.They may take more time than younger men ,but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort,and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.51.Mountaineering is a oport which involves ___________.A.hardshipA. ColdB. Physical riskC. All of the above52.The main difference between a sport and a game lie in ________A.UniformB.ActivityC.RulesD.SkillsA. Mountaineering is also a team sport because________A.it involves rulesB.It involves matches between teamsC.It requires mental and physicalD.Mountaineers depend on each other while climbing55.Which of the following is true?A.Mountaineers compete against each otherB.Mountaineers compete against other teamC.Mountaineers compete against natureD.Mountaineers compete against international standard55.what is the best title for the passage?A.mountaineeringB.Mountain climbersC.Mountaineering is different from golf and footballD.Mountaineering is more dangerous than other sportsQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:Most cities and states in the U.S collect a sales tax on almost everything you buy.You must ask when you move into a new community how the local sales tax is and what items are and are not taxable.Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably,from one or two percent in some places up to eight or ten in others .The New Your City sales tax ,for example,is currently 8 %,so if you buy a pare of $40 shoes you will actually have to pay $43.20.This makes paying and getting correct change much more difficult (not to mention making everything more expensive).We say in America that only two things in life are unavoidable:one is death and the other is taxes.Another thing that makes money exchanges more complicated is tipping .The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping ,but Westerners are still plagued with this indignity.Waiters and waitresses ,cab drivers,hotel bellboys,barbers an hairdresser and all sorts of other people must bu tipped.Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you ,the customer,will make up the difference,If you don't,the service person can't earn a living .Tipping also varies from place to place ,generally in the area of 15%of your bill ,but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and how much.There is another kind of tipping as well.You are generally expected to give something(either cash or a bottle of whisky )to the mailman and to your building "super"at Christmas time.You should discuss this also with neighbours and colleagues.56.This passage is about ______A. Shopping and tippingB. Sales and taxesC. Sales taxes and tippingD. Sales taxes and people57.According to the passage ,if you buy a pair of $50 shoes in the New Your city you pay an extra ____ as sales tax.A.$4.5B.$4C.$5D.$5.5ually,cab drivers___________A.Get high wages from the employerB.Get great benefits from the employerC.Get low wages from the employerD.Get high bonus from the employer59.According to the passage,which of the following statements is true?A.The chinese people have t give tips in western countries.A. The westerners don't have to give high tips in their own country.B. Barbers ,hotel bellboys and all sorts of other people can earn a living if they are nottipped.C. Tipping varies from place to place,generally in the area o f 20% of your bill.ually ,taxable items and the amount of tax _______A.Have no difference from place to place in the U.S.B.Are over 15% in the U.SC.Have been put an end to in the U.SD.Vary from place to place in the U.SSection B Short Answer Questions(15points,3for each)Directions:Answer each of the question in about 10 wordsQuestions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:In a classroom in any country ,the teacher teaches more than art or history or language .He or she teaches something behind the culture of the countryIn a country such as the United States,people with different history,culture and language join together and they pay much attention to personal ideas.Teacher try to make each student special .Students do not to remember lot of information ,instead,they work and find answer by themselves.There is often discussion in the classroom.At an early age students learn to have their own ideas.Their education encourages personal thought.The importance is placed on how to arrive at an answer and not just to get the correct answer.In most Asian countries people have the same language ,history and culture.Perhaps for this reson,the education there pays more attention to group goals.Children in China and Japan often work together and help each other on homework .In the classroom ,the ways of teaching are often very traditional.The teacher says,and the students listen.There is not much discussion.Instead,the students repeat rules or information that very have been taught on order to keep them in mind.In many ways were differences come from different educational ideas.In Western countries teachers are taught to help students to learn.They make it easier for the students to learn by themselves.In some Asian countries,however,teachers often feel that their job is to pass knowledge to students.61.Do students in the United States have to remember a lot of information?62.There is often discussion in the classroom in America,isn't there?63.What does the education in the United States encourage.64.Which does education in some Asian countries pay more attention to,group goals orpersonal ideas?65.What do the teachers in Asian countries think about their job?IV. Translation (20 points,4 for each)Directions:in this part,there are five items which you are required to translate into chinese ,each item consists o fone or two sentences.These senternces are all taken from the reading passages you have just read.You can refer back the passages so as to identify their meanings in the context.66.Many Americans are happy with this kind of marriage.But some other Americans have adifferent impression of marriage and family responsibilities.67.Many married people now share these decisions and the responsibilities of their families.68.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules,as there are forsuch games as golf and football.69.They may take more time than younger men ,but they probably climb with more skill andless waste of effort ,and they certainly experience equal enjoyment70.Both taxable items and the amount of tax vary considerably,from one of two percent insome places up to eight or ten in others.V.

After reading the passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements numbered 26 through 30. For each question or statement there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the corrected choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.The better defined your hiring process is, the more easily, it will be adhered to. I suggest that you use a multi-stage interviewing process by which the candidate meets with multiple people to provide different opinions and input on the hiring-decision. Again, keep all notes taken during theinterview. These notes should be factual and should detail bservations made by the people conducting the interview as well as quotations of the candidate’s reponses to questions．There should be no inferences made about a candidate in any notes，and no notes should be taken on a resume（简历）．Pre-determine three to six questions that will help you uncover the capability of each applicant and ask those same questions to each person that is interviewed．These initial questions will serve as a departure point to base other follow-up questions on. By using the same question in different ways and you will also be able to draw close com parisons between each candidate’s responses，which will help you determine the best match for the position.Developing that interviewing process a little further, time limits should be set on responses to candidates．Today’s job market changes so rapidly that waiting more than 72 hours to inform a candidate how he or she did in an interview is an eternity（永远）. Many candidates have multiple interviews within one or two days and plan to take the first job offered that meets their salary and benefits demands. Hired or not, as a candidate, it is much easier to keep a positive frame of mind about a company that is responsive, shows an interest in your success as an individual, and provides feedback （反馈）about an interview within one or two days. Waiting to make a decision about candidates is how other companies manage to hire the “perfect fit”right out from under you!26. As for an interview, the author suggests that .A. there should be more than one interviewer in the interviewing processB. only the applicants’ responses to questions should be noted and recorded.C. interviewers should make some notes on the margins of the candidates’ resumesD. interviewers should ask whatever questions that may help decide the perfect fit27. The passage i s m ai nly about .A. how to pre-determine questions in an interviewB. how to respond to candidates after an interviewC. how to arrange the interviewing process properlyD. how to decide the best match during an interview28. By "waiting more than 72 hours to inform a candidate how he or she did in aninterview is an eternity" in Line 2 of Paragraph 3, the author means .A. it’s boring for a candidate to wait more than 72 hours to know the result of aninterviewB. it’s too long to keep a candidate waiting over 72 hours to know the result of theinterviewC. it's necessary for a candidate to wait 72 more hours because it takes time to makedecisionsD. it's outdated to inform the candidates the result of the interview after more than72 hours29. According to the passage, tine limits should be set on responses to candidatesmainly because .A. today’s job market changes very rapidlyB. candidates usually attend many interviewsC. it helps interviewers gain the initiative to hire the perfect matchD. candidates finds it boring to wait a 'long time to know the result30．"The phrase "departure point'，in Line 3 of Paragraph 2 refers to .A. the conclusion pointB. the starting pointC. the leaving pointD. the Central point’Task 2Directions: This task is the same as Task 1．The 5 questions or unfinished statements are Numbered 31 through 35.Y ou should make the corrected choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre．One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card.. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels at home, across the country, and -even abroad; and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered-locations, whether or not the local branch bank is .open. For many of us the "cashless society" is not on the `horizon--it's already here.While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold :and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours ate busiest and which employees are the most efficient ,allowing. personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customer for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by .manufacturers for similar `reasons: Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, -which to develop for the future, and which to drop .Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even. of the production process: itself.Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from, gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better end more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.31. According: to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to .A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes.B. obtain more convenient services than other people do.C. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper.D. cash money wherever he wishes to.32. From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that .A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cards.B. credit cards are mainly used in the United States today.C. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash.D. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before.33. The phrase "ring up sales" most probably means .A. make an order of goods.B. record sales on a cash register.C. call the sales manager.D. keep track of the goods in stock.34. What is this passage mainly about?A. Approaches to the commercial use of computers.B. Conveniences brought about by computers in business.C. Significance of automation in commercial enterprises.D . Advantage of credit cards in business．35. It can be inferred that .A. computers will bring disaster.B. computer industry will not develop faster.C. computers will bring about more convenience to people's 1ife;．D. computers will replace human beings in the future．Task 3Directions: Read the. following passage．After reading it; you should give brief answers to the 5 questions (No. 36 to No. 40). The answers should bewritten after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.Although. credit cards are becoming more .acceptable part of the financial scene, they are still regarded with suspicion by many as being a major part of the “live now pay later" syndrome. Along With hire; purchase, rental and leasing schemes, they provide encouragement to spend more money. Of course, it is only the foolhardy who succumb to the temptation to live, temporarily at least; beyond their means, and such people would not doubt manage to do so even without credit cards.Advertising campaigns have, however, promoted a growing realization of the advantages of these small pieces of plastic. They obviate the need to carry large. amounts of cash and are always useful in emergencies. All the credit card organizations charge interest on a monthly basis which may work out as high as 25 percent a year, yet judicious purchasing using a card can mean that you obtain up to seven weeks interest free credit. Using the card abroad where items frequently take a long time to be included on your account can extend the period even further.It is worthwhile shopping around before deciding on particular credit card. I t’s necessary to consider the amount of credit granted interest rates which may vary slightly the number and range of outlets though most cards cover major garages, hotels, restaurants and departments stores and of course what happens if your card is lost or stolen. A credit card thief may be sitting on a potential gold mine particularly if there is delay in reporting the loss of the card.However, if used wisely, a credit card can cost nothing or at least help to tide you over a period of financial difficulty.36. Many people suspect that credit cards lure people to .37. The author seems to believe that even in the absence of credit cards, some people would undoubtedly .38. In Para. 2, in addition to the advantages of no need to carry cash and being usefulin emergency, what else is said to be the advantage of credit cards?.39. What’s the main i dea of Para 3？40. The author holds a attitude towards credit cards.Task 4Directions：Read the following passage and complete the outline below it (No．41 through No. 45).Y ou should write your answers briefly on the answer sheet correspondingly.During the holiday break, I finally got around to a promise I made to my mom and dad—to remotely access their PC—to help troubleshoot problems or questions they have about their Dell laptop.A while ago, I download GoToMyPC on my, computer, which allows you to access your computer from any other computer. The other day, my mom logged into my account, which brought her to a "My Computers" page of a three-PC account. She clicked on "enable this computer," to install the GoToMyPC software. Within minutes, I saw her computer listed on the" My Computers" page; clicked on it, and her computer home page popped up in a. window on my screen.They're in Florida, I’m in New Jersery, but I could easily replace a toolbar that disappeared from their screen and desktop icons my mom wished she hadn’t cleared away.I also like that I'll be .able to do some basic maintenance on their computer from my home hundreds of miles away. And if my mom has questions, we can be looking at her computer together while on the phone.GoToMyPC costs $20 a month for one computer, or $179.40 a year. Two PCs cost $30 a month or $279.40. For each additional PC, it’s $15 a month or $135 a year. But reader and Chris Null have also recommended a free application, Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop; which is part of Windows XP Professional and Media Center.Y ou need to manually type in the IP address of the host computer. Here’s the Microsoft instructions page if you want to check out this option.Other reader suggested another free app, LogMeIn, which gets good reviews for providing remote access and file sharing between computers．If you’ve used either free remote access option, let us know how it's worked out．Technology ReviewThe first device reviewed: 41Functions of the first device:a)enables one to 42 of another PC remotely;b)allows one to access one’s computer from elsewhere;c)enables basic maintenance from a distance.Cost of the first decice to be installed in 3 PCs: 43Difference between the other two devices recommended and the first one:They’r e 44Reviews are still needed from reader about 45Part IV Translation from English into Chinese46．Some people would like to do shopping on Sundays since they expect to pick up wonderful bargains.A．有些人愿意周日逛街，因为他们觉得这样能够检到大便宜。
