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 the best choice.Passage OneWhen we say that Cambridge is a university town we do not mean that it is a town with a university in it. A university town is one where there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. They university is not just one part of the town , it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has its shops, restaurants, market place and so on, but most of it is university staff and students.The town was there first Cambridge became a center of learning in the thirteenth century. Many students were too poor to afford lodgings. Colleges were opened so that students could live cheaply.This was the beginning of the present day college system.Today there are nearly thirty colleges. Very few students can now live in college for the whole of their course, the numbers are too great . Many of them live in lodgings at first and move into college for their final year. But every student is a member of his college form the beginning. He must eat a number of meals in the college hall each week.Students are not allowed to keep cars in Cambridge, so nearly all of them use bicycles. Don’t try to drive through Cambridge during the five minutes lectures, as you will find crowds of people on bicycles hurrying in all directions. If you are in Cambridge at five minutes to the hour any morning of the them, you’ll know that you are in a university town. Stop in some safe place , and wait.31. Cambridge can be described as university town because______.A. the university buildings fit in well with the rest of the townB. the size of Cambridge is just as big as the townC. the separation line between the university and the town is not obviousD. the university is located in the town32. In the first paragraph ―but most of it is university‖, ―it‖refers to______.A. the rest of the citB. the townC. the heart of CambridgeD. the university33. which of the following can best give the main idea of second paragraph?A. Cambridge has a long historyB. Many students lacked money ,so colleges were set up then .C. The town was built before the university.D. It was cheaper for students to live in college than in lodgings34. It is possible for the college students to______.A. live in college form the beginningB. keep bosh bikes and cars in collegeC. have all the meals outside the college each weekD. live in college for their final year of the week35. People found it hard to drive through Cambridge at five minutes to the hour in the morningbecause of_______.A. the large numbers to cars in the streetsB. safety checks for the cars at this timeC. streams of bikes going in all directionsD. the speed limit of the carPassage twoIf you want to stay young sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most our brains are not getting enough exercises–and as a result ,we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age ,and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.With a team a colleague at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of athousand people of different ages and varying occupations.―Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which no late to intellect and emotion, and determine the human character.‖The rear section of the and brain, which controls functions like eating and breaking,does not contract with age, and on can continue living without intellectual or emotional facilities. Contraction of front and side parts – as cells die off – was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty and seventy – year – olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is simple remedy to contraction normally associated with age – using the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country that in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however,as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm workers, bus drivers and shop assistants.Matsuzawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells says, ―The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using brain,‖he says, ―Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators.‖36. The team of doctors wanted to find out _______ .A. how to make people live longerB. the size of certain people’s brainsC. which people are most intelligentD. why certain people age sooner than others37. On what are their research findings based?A. A survey of farmers in northern Japan.B. The study of brain volumes of different people.C. Tests performed on a thousand old people.D. The latest development of computer technology.38. The doctor’s tests show that ______ .A. our brains shrink as we grow olderB. the front section of the brain does not shrinkC. sixty – year – olds have better brains than thirty – year – oldsD. some people’s brains have contracted more than other people39. The word ―subjects‖in the sentence of paragraph 5 ―Contraction of front and side parts –as cells die off –was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident some sixty and seventy –year –olds.‖Means _______.A. something to be consideredB. branches of knowledge studiedC. any member a state except the supreme rulerD. persons chosen to be studied in experiment40. According to the passage, which people seem to age slower than others.A. shop assistants, lawyers, and professorB. Farmers, doctors and farmersC. Clerks, professor and farmersD. Lawyers, professor and doctorsPassage ThreeWhen we turn on a tap get water, or press a switch to get electricity, we do not think of all the pipes and wires which bring these main services to our homes.The water is brought from the waterworks to each street by a large underground pipe- a water in this pips is then forced by pressure into the smaller pipes which carry it to storage thanks at tops of the buildings. Other pipes bring the water down from the storage tank to the kitchens and bathrooms in the building.When the water has been used, it is taken away from the building by drainpipes. These take the waster water to another large pipe under road –the main sewer. The waster then flows along the sewer to the sewage works where it is cleaned. This ―clean‖water is then poured into the sea or into a river, or in some countries, sent back to the waterworks to be again.Electricity is also brought to the house by a main, in this case a cable. This cable may be underground or , in country districts, it may hang above ground on pylons. The cable is connected to a meter in the building. Near the meter there is a master which can cut off the supply of electricity.There are also fuse boxes when the master switch and the wires which take the electricity to each of the switches in the building . All these wires, fuses and switches are the ―wiring circuit‖.41.It can be inferred form this passage that _______.A. water and electricity are the only main services in our housesB. the pipes bringing water to our homes are unimportantC. water is less significant than electricity in our homesD. we are unaware of how water or electricity is brought to our homes42.We call water ,electricity and sewer_______.A. wiring circuitB. pipes, cables and drainsC. main servicesD. underground services43.How is clean water brought to our homes?A.

Between a main cable and the master switch in our homes is_______.A. a light switchB. a pylonC. a fuse boxD. a meterPassage FourHow men first learned to invent words is unknown; in order words, the origin of language is a mystery . All we really know is that men, unlike animals, invented certain sound to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other, and later they agree on certain sings. There sings were called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds and could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letter, and called words.The power of words, then, exists in their associations—the things they bring up before our minds .Words become filled with meaning for us by experience, and the longer we live ,the more certain words remind us of the glad and sad events of our past ,and the more number of words increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which deeply attract our minds and emotions. This skillful use of words is called―literary style‖.Above all, a real poet can express should, therefore, learn to choose ours words carefully and use them properly, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar.46.The origin of language is ______A. treasure handed down form the pastB. a matter that is hidden or secretC. a problem not yet solvedD. a question difficult to answer47. One of the reasons why men in invented certain sounds to express thoughts and actions was that_______.A. they could write them downB. they could agree on certain singsC. they could communicate with each otherD. they could combine them48. which of the following is true about words ?A.

Part I Reading Comprehension (40﹪，35minutes)Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by a number ofcomprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer byblackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Human feelings are affected by color unconsciously. Manufacturers have discovered by trial and error that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered by consumers as tasteless, and that cosmetics should never be packaged in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole discipline of color psychology. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm, while yellow is a key color in association with energy. For primitive men. activity during the day meant bunting and attacking, in which he soon saw as red, the color of blood and hunting and fire. So it was natural that green, the complementary color to red, should be associated with passive defense. Experiments have shown that colors also have a direct psychological effect. People, when exposed to bright red. show an increase in breathing rate. heart beat and blood pressure. Red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect, because it is a calming color. Because red has an implication of excitement, it is chosen as the signal for danger. Some analyses show that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alertness and alarm. So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced countries are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop traffic dead.1. If people are exposed to red, which of the following statements does NOT happen?A. They feel afraid.B. They breathe faster.C. Their blood pressure rises.D. Their hearts beat faster.2. Manufacturers have discovered the secret of colors in marketing ____.A. by experimenting with different colorsB. by developing the discipline of color psychologyC. by trying not to make mistakesD. by accumulating their variousexperiences3. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Our feelings about certain colors are purely psychological.B. Food should never be packaged in brown.C. Sugar sells badly in green wrappings,D. Color probably has an effect on us which we are not conscious of.4. Our preferences for certain colors are ____.A. dependent on our characterB. linked with the primitive menC. associated with psychologyD. associated with the time of the day5. The passage is about ____.A. color and traffic accidentsB. color and manufacturersC. which color might influence human feelingsD. why color affects human emotions and behaviorPassage 2Exchange a glance with someone, and then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have made a different statement. Hold it for three seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is permissible time that you can hold a person's gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You are very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up(打量) and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact, which sociologist Erving Goffman ( 1963 ) calls "a dimming of the lights". You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger's eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.If you hold eye contact for more than three seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They typically gaze at each other for about three seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for three seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a three-second-plus stare, he signals- "I know you." "I am interested in you." or "You look peculiar and I am curious about you." This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.6. It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ____.A. every glance has its significanceB. staring at a person is an expression of interestC. a gaze longer than three seconds is unacceptableD. a glance conveys more meaning than words7. If you want to be left alone on an elevator, the best thing to do is ____.A. to look into another passenger's eyesB. to avoid eye contact with other passengersC. to signal you are nor a threat to anyoneD. to keep a distance from other passengers8. By "a dimming of the lights"(Line 9. Para l ). Erving Goffman means"____"A. closing one's eyesB. turning off the lightsC. ceasing to glance at othersD. reducing gaze-time to the minimum9. If one is looked at by a stranger for too tong, he tends to feel ____.A. depressedB. curiousC. uneasyD. amused10. The passage mainly discusses ____.A. the limitations of eye contactB. the exchange of ideas through eye contactC. proper behavior in various situationsD. the role of eye contact in interpersonal communicationPassage 3Cyclo-cross is a cross-country bicycle racing in open and usually quite rough country with riders often forced to dismount and carry their bicycles.The sport, originated early in the 20th century in France. was prevalent in the 1920s, but became prominent in the 1950s ( the British Cyclo-Cross Association was founded in 1954). An original European sport, cyclo-cross became popular throughout Western Europe and in the United States. World championships were initiated in 1925 ; by 1950 these were recognized by the Union Cyclist International(International Cyclists' Union). After 1967 amateur and professional classes were officially separated in competition.The 24-kilometer cyclo-cross course, often involving taps, is usually completed in 60 minutes. A course typically includes obstacles such as ditches, mud, fallen trees, streams, flight of stairs, fences, and gates; artificial hurdles are added to insufficiently challenging natural courses. Cyclo-cross races are usually held from September to March, adding winter weather hazards to the challenge.There is a massed start with the field assembling not more than two abreast. Helpers are often stationed around the course with spare bicycles in case the original machine encounters mechanical difficulties or becomes too weighted down by mud picked up to the course.11. What does the word "dismount" in Paragraph One mean?A. Give upB. Give inC. Get ourD. Get off.12. According ro the passage, which of the following is NOT true aboutcyclo-cross?A. The cyclists sometimes have to carry the bicycles instead of riding them.B. The riders in the race are arranged side by side in two lines.C. All the riders start simultaneously on the starting line.D. The riders are allowed to change their machines,13. Cyclo-cross became widely known ____.A. in the 1920sB. in the 1950sC. in 1925D. in 196714. According to the passage, cyclo-cross races are usually held from September to March because ____.A. A. the winter is westerners' favorite seasonB. winter can offer cyclists more risk and dangerC. the winter weather is more agreeableD. in winter the riders needn't dismount and carry their bicycle15. Which of the following statements can you infer from the passage?A. The riders are competitive and fond of taking risks.B. People except the riders show little interest in cyclo-cross.C. Before 1967, amateur and professional classes had never been separated in competition.D. Helpers are often hired by the riders.Passage 4In the second half of each year. many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances hundreds even thousands of miles out to sea. They travel aimlessly over water warmed by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm moist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat is converted to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counterclockwise motion.The average life of a hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricane's rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, is the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane brings 6 to 12 inch downpours resulting in sudden floods. Worst of all is the powerful movement of the sea-mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure hurricane center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.16. When is an ordinary tropical storm considered to be a hurricane?A. When il begins in the Atlantic and Caribbean seas.B. When it hits the coastline.C. When its winds reach 75 miles per hour or even more.D. When the circling winds bring damages.17. What is the worst thing about hurricanes?A. The destructive effects of water.B. The heat they release.C. That they last about nine days on the average.D. Their strong winds.18. The counterclockwise swirling of the hurricane is brought about by ____.A. the low-pressure area in the center of the stormB. the force of waves of waterC. the trade windsD. the increasing heat19. Apparently the phrase "innocent circling disturbances" in Paragraph Two means ____.A. disturbances caused by innocent peopleB. disturbances people are innocent ofC. damaging circling windsD. harmless circling winds20. Which of the following best summarizes the passage?A. The Hurricane-Its Harms and Benefits.B. The Benefits of Hurricanes.C. The Hurricane and Its Great Energy.D. The Disaster Caused by Hurricanes.PartⅡ Vocabulary and Structure(40﹪，20minutes)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part.

The Indians were kind to the early 62 . They taught them about the local 63like sweet potatoes, com and peanuts. But soon the settlers wanted bigger farms and 64 land for themselves and their families. So the Europeans started to 65 the land from the Indians. Naturally, 66 the whites started taking all the Indians' land, the Indians started 67 back. But the whites were stronger and 68 . Slowly they pushed the Indians69 those parts of the continent that the whites didn't want-the parts 70 it was too cold or too dry or too mountainous to live. By 1875, the Indians were living in a(n) 71 place called "reservation", 72 even here the whites took land from them-perhaps the whites wanted the wood, or perhaps 73 had important minerals in it, 74 the whites even wanted to make national parks there.

For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said:“Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, lide many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed ofthe day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say:“Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk.. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her.“Madam,” he said, holding out his hand,“I want to congratulate you! You are our luck y customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”51.The housewives learnt about the offer of free goods .A. on TVB. from the managerC. at the supermarketD. from the newspaper52.Mrs.Edwards .A. is always very luckyB. had no friendsC. hoped to get free shoppingD. gets disappointed easily53.Mrs.Edwards’s husband tried to .A. make her unhappyB. cheer her upC. buy things with herD. stop her buying things54.Mrs.Edwards went back to the supermarket quickly because she had to .A. buy another thingB. talk to the managerC. pay for her shoppingD. find her shopping55.Mrs.Edwards must have been .A. pleasedB. delightedC. proudD. disappointedPassage TwoGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day ,we have all been told , and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the numb er of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast , however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that , for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast.“Going without breakfast does not affect performance,”said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children , not adults,“The literature”, says one reaearcher , Dr, Erresto at the University of Texas ,“is poor”.56. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is .A. the year the author wrote the articleB.1997C. any year between 1977 and 1983D.198357.For those who do not take breakfast ,the good news is that .A .several studies have been done in the past few yearsB. the omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s healtyC. adults have especially made studies in this fieldD. eating little in the morning is good for health58.“… nor does giving people breakfast improve performance”means .A. anyone without breakfast does improve his performanceB. not giving people breakfast improve performanceC. having breakfast does not improve performance, eitherD. people having breakfast do improve their performance59.The wore “literature”in the last sentence refers to .A. stories , poems, play, etc .B. written works on a particular subjectC. any printed materialD. the moden literature of America60.What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that .A. breakfast does not affect performanceB. Dr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learningC. not eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenD. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonPassage ThreeBanks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors(储户) not to demand payment all at the same time .If depositors should come to fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day .If they did ,the band could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it .Mrs. Elsie V aught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced .One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs. Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone .People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’ windows. The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own miney from the bank. Mrs. Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.61.A bank run happens when_____.A. a book is closed for one or more days.B. too many depositors try to draw out their money at one timeC. there is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one timeD. tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank62. The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’s bank were told to_____.A. explain why they could not pat out all accountsB. pay out accounts as requestedC. make the depositors believe that the bank was standD. pay out money as slowly as possible63. The main cause of a bank run is____.A. loss of confidenceB. lack of moneyC. crowds of peopleD. inexperienced tellers64. Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught say?A. She knew that the bank was not sound.B. She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank..C. She was not able to draw out her money.D. She was tempted to draw out her money.65. According to the passage ,the actions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaught’s bank were affected mainly by the ____.A. ease with which they could get their moneyB. confidence that Mrs. Vaught showedC. failure of several other banks to openD. confidence shown by other depositors of the bankPassage FourThe energy which the sun radiates goes in every direction ,and only a minute part of it falls on the earth .Even so , it represents power of about 5,000,000 horsepower(马力)per square mile per day ;the sun gives us as much energy every minute as mankind utilizes in a year .At present , we use this energy indirectly , and it is our final source of power . Coal represents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousands of years ago . Water power results from the rain formed by vapor which comes from the evaporation of water under the sunshine . Even windmills operate because of air currents set in motion by the different heating effects of the sun in different places . Some day ,through chemistry or some type of solar engine , we shall harness this great source of energy more directly . Already a scientist has worked out an engine , surprisingly efficient , in which the sun’s rays are concentrated through mirrors on a rube of water to create steam .66. How much energy given off by the sun reaches the earth?A.100% but indirectlyB.5%C. 50%D. only a very tiny amount67. The reason why all the solar energy falling on the earth can’t be utilized is that ____.A. only a very small part is availableB. the sun is too distant from the earthC. it takes thousands if years for this energy to be stored up in coal and oilD. our scientific knowledge is not sufficient68. Which of the following statements is NOT true ?A. Even windmill’s action depends on the sunB. The sun produces enormous energy for man to make use of ..C. Some day man will be able to utilize 100% of the solar energy that gets to the earth.D. The sun produces different heating effects in different places.69. In order to support this argument , the writer gives the example that____.A. a machine using solar energy efficiently has already been developedB. the sun is our final source of powerC. man uses only a tiny part of the sun’s energyD. the part of the sun’s energy we use is used indirectly70. This passage centers mainly on_____.A. harnessing energy through chemistryB. our last source of powerC. how water power is producedD. the amount of solar energy that can be utilizedPart V Cloze (20points)Directions : There are 20 blanks in the following passage . For each blank there are four choices marked A , B , C and D below the passage . You should choose the one that best fits into the passage . Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer with single line through the center .From childhood to old age , we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us . When humans first 71 , they were like newborn children ,unable to use this 72 tool .Yet once language developed , the possibilities for human kind’s future 73 and cultural growth increased .Many linguists believe that evolution is 74 for our ability to produce and use language . They 75 that our highly evolved brain provides us 76 an innate language ability not found in lower 77 . Proponents of this innateness theory say that our 78 for language is inborn ,but that language itself develops gradually , 79 a function of the growth of the brain during childhood . Therefore there are critical 80 times for language development .Current 81 of innateness theory are mixed ,however ,evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable . 82 , more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in 83 grades . Young children often can learning several language by being 84 to them ,while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the 85 of their first language have become firmly fixed .86 some aspects of language are undeniable innate ,language dose not develop automatically in a vacuum . Children who have been 87 from other human beings do not possess language . This demonstrates that 88 with other human beings is necessary for proper language development . Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language 89 than any innate capacities . These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior . 90 ,children learnlanguage from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their child’s language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.71. A. generated B. evolved C. born D. originated72.

For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said:“Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day!”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, lide many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say:“Mada m, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk.. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her.“Madam,” he said, holding out his hand,“I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”51.The housewives learnt about the offer of free goods .A. on TVB. from the managerC. at the supermarketD. from the newspaper52.Mrs.Edwards .A. is always very luckyB. had no friendsC. hoped to get free shoppingD. gets disappointed easily53.Mrs.Edwards’s husband tried to .A. make her unhappyB. cheer her upC. buy things with herD. stop her buying things54.Mrs.Edwards went back to the supermarket quickly because she had to .A. buy another thingB. talk to the managerC. pay for her shoppingD. find her shopping55.Mrs.Edwards must have been .A. pleasedB. delightedC. proudD. disappointedPassage TwoGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day ,we have all been told , and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast , however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that , for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast.“Going without breakfast does not affect performance,”said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children , not adults,“The literature”, says one reaearcher , Dr, Erresto at the University of Texas ,“is poor”.56. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is .A. the year the author wrote the articleB.1997C. any year between 1977 and 1983D.198357.For those who do not take breakfast ,the good news is that .A .several studies have been done in the past few yearsB. the omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s healtyC. adults have especially made studies in this fieldD. eating little in the morning is good for health58.“… nor does giving people breakfast improve performance”means .A. anyone without breakfast does improve his performanceB. not giving people breakfast improve performanceC. having breakfast does not improve performance, eitherD. people having breakfast do improve their performance59.The wore “literature”in the last sentence refer s to .A. stories , poems, play, etc .B. written works on a particular subjectC. any printed materialD. the moden literature of America60.What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that .A. breakfast does not affect performanceB. Dr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learningC. not eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenD. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonPassage ThreeBanks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors(储户) not to demand payment all at the same time .If depositors should come to fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day .If they did ,the band could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it .Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced .One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs. Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone .People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’ windows. The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own miney from the bank. Mrs. Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.61.A bank run happens when_____.A. a book is closed for one or more days.B. too many depositors try to draw out their money at one timeC. there is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one timeD. tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank62. The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’s bank were told to_____.A. explain why they could not pat out all accountsB. pay out accounts as requestedC. make the depositors believe that the bank was standD. pay out money as slowly as possible63. The main cause of a bank run is____.A. loss of confidenceB. lack of moneyC. crowds of peopleD. inexperienced tellers64. Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught say?A. She knew that the bank was not sound.B. She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank..C. She was not able to draw out her money.D. She was tempted to draw out her money.65. According to the passage ,the actions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaught’s bank were affected mainly by the ____.A. ease with which they could get their moneyB. confidence that Mrs. Vaught showedC. failure of several other banks to openD. confidence shown by other depositors of the bankPassage FourThe energy which the sun radiates goes in every direction ,and only a minute part of it falls on the earth .Even so , it represents power of about 5,000,000 horsepower(马力)per square mile per day ;the sun gives us as much energy every minute as mankind utilizes in a year .At present , we use this energy indirectly , and it is our final source of power . Coal represents the chemical action of the sun on green plants thousands of years ago . Water power results from the rain formed by vapor which comes from the evaporation of water under the sunshine . Even windmills operate because of air currents set in motion by the different heating effects of the sun in different places . Some day ,through chemistry or some type of solar engine , we shall harness this great source of energy more directly . Already a scientist has worked out an engine , surprisingly efficient , in which the sun’s rays are concentrated through mi rrors on a rube of water to create steam .66. How much energy given off by the sun reaches the earth?A.100% but indirectlyB.5%C. 50%D. only a very tiny amount67. The reason why all the solar energy falling on the ea rth can’t be utilized is that ____.A. only a very small part is availableB. the sun is too distant from the earthC. it takes thousands if years for this energy to be stored up in coal and oilD. our scientific knowledge is not sufficient68. Which of the following statements is NOT true ?A. Even windmill’s action depends on the sunB. The sun produces enormous energy for man to make use of ..C. Some day man will be able to utilize 100% of the solar energy that gets to the earth.D. The sun produces different heating effects in different places.69. In order to support this argument , the writer gives the example that____.A. a machine using solar energy efficiently has already been developedB. the sun is our final source of powerC. man uses only a tiny part of the sun’s energyD. the part of the sun’s energy we use is used indirectly70. This passage centers mainly on_____.A. harnessing energy through chemistryB. our last source of powerC. how water power is producedD. the amount of solar energy that can be utilizedPart V Cloze (20points)Directions : There are 20 blanks in the following passage .

Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer with single line through the center .From childhood to old age , we all use language as a means of broadening our knowledge of ourselves and the world about us . When humans first 71 , they were like newborn children ,unable to use this 72 tool .Yet once language developed , the possibilities for human kind’s future 73 and cultural growth increased .Many linguists believe that evolution is 74 for our ability to produce and use language . They 75 that our highly evolved brain provides us 76 an innate language ability not found in lower 77 . Proponents of this innateness theory say that our 78 for language is inborn ,but that language itself develops gradually , 79 a function of the growth of the brain during childhood . Therefore there are critical 80 times for language development .Current 81 of innateness theory are mixed ,however ,evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable . 82 , more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in 83 grades . Young children often can learning several language by being 84 to them ,while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the 85 of their first language have become firmly fixed .86 some aspects of language are undeniable innate ,language dose not develop automatically in a vacuum . Children who have been 87 from other human beings do not possess language . This demonstrates that 88 with other human beings is necessary for proper language development . Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language 89 than any innate capacities . These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior . 90 ,children learn language from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their child’s language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.71. A. generated B. evolved C. born D. originated72.

(40 points)T ext 1France, which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion, has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for women. Its lawmakers gave preliminary approval last week to a law that would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models on runways. The parliament also agreed to ban websites that ―i nci t e excessive thinnes s‖ by promoting ext r em e dieting.Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives. They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up impinging on health. That’s a start. And the ban on ul t ra-thin models seems to go beyond protecting models from starving themselves to death –as some have done. It tells the fashion industry that it must take responsibility for the signal it sends women, especially teenage girls, about the social tape-measure they must use to determine their individual worth.The bans, if fully enforced, would suggest to women (and many men) that they should not let others be arbiters of their beauty. And perhaps faintly, they hint that people should look to intangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to size zero or wasp-waist physiques.The French measures, however, rely too much on severe punishment to change a culture that still regards beauty as skin-deep –and bone-showing. Under the law, using a fashion model that does not meet a government-defined index of body mass could result in a $85,000 fine and sixmonths in prison.The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing on material adornment and idealized body types. In Denmark, the United States, and a few other countries, it is trying to set voluntary standards for models and fashion images that rely more on peer pressure for enforcement.I n contrast to France’s actions, Denmark’s fashion industry agreed last month on rules and sanctions regarding the age, health, and other characteristics of models. The newly revised Danish Fashion Ethical Charter clearly states: ―We are aware of and take responsibility for the im pact the fashion industry has on body ideals, especially on young peopl e.‖ The char t er’s main tool of enforcement is to deny access for designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen FashionW eek(CFW), which is run by the Danish Fashion Institute. But in general it relies on a name-and-shame method of compliance.Relying on ethical persuasion rather than law to address the misuse of body ideals may be thebest step. Even better would be to help elevate notions of beauty beyond the material standards of a particular industry.21. According to the first paragraph, what would happen in France?[A] New runways would be constructed.[B] Physical beauty would be redefined.[C] W ebsites about dieting would thrive.[D] The fashion industry would decline.22. The phrase ―impinging on‖(Line 2, Para. 2) is closest in meaning to .[A] heightening the value of[B] indicating the state of[C] losing faith in[D] doing harm to23. Which of the following is true of the fashion industry?[A] New standards are being set in Denmark.[B] The French measures have already failed.[C] Models are no longer under peer pressure.[D] Its inherent problems are getting worse.24. A designer is most likely to be rejected by CFW for .[A] pursuing perfect physical conditions[B] caring too much about model’s character[C] showing little concern for health factors[D] setting a high age threshold for models25. Which of the following may be the best title of the text?[A] A Challenge to the Fashion Industry’s Body Ideals[B] A Dilemma for the Starving Models in France[C] Just Another Round of Struggle for Beauty[D] The Great Threats to the Fashion IndustryT ext 2For the first time in history more people live in towns than in the country. In Britain this has had a curious result. W hile polls show B r i t ons rate ―t he countrysi de‖alongside the royal f a m ily, Shakespeare and the National Health Service (NHS) as what makes them proudest of their country, this has limited political traction.A century ago Octavia Hill launched the National Trust not to rescue stylish houses but to save ―t he beauty of natural places for everyone forever‖.I t was specifically to provide ci t y dwellers with spaces for leisure where they could experience ―a refreshing air‖.H ill’s pr essur e later led to the creat ion of national parks and green belts. They don’t make countryside any m or e, and every year concrete consumes more of it. It needs constant guardianship.At the next election none of the big parties seem likely to endorse this sentiment. The Conservatives’planning reform explicitly gives rural development priority over conservation, even authorising ―o f f-pl an‖building where local people might object. The concept of sustainable development has been defined as profitable. Labour likewise wants to discontinue local planning where councils oppose development. The Liberal Democrats are silent. Only Ukip, sensing its chance, has sided with those pleading for a more considered approach to using green land. Nigel Farage’s speech this year to the Campaign to Protec t Rural Engandstruck terror into many local Conservative parties.The sensible place to build new houses, factories and offices is where people are, in cities and towns where infrastructure is in place. The London agents Stirling Ackroyd recently identified enough sites for half a million houses in the London area alone, with no intrusion on green belt. What is true of London is even truer of the provinces.The idea that ―h ousing crisi s‖ equals ―c oncreted meadow s‖ is pure lobby talk. The issue i s not the need for more houses but, as always, where to put them. Under lobby pressure, George Osborne favours rural new-build against urban renovation and renewal. He favours out-of-town shopping sites against high streets. This is not a free market but a biased one. Rural towns and villages have grown and will always grow. They do so best where building sticks to their edges and respects their character. W e do not ruin urban conservation areas in this way. Why ruin rural ones?Development should be planned, not let rip. After the Netherlands, B r i t ai n is Europe’s m ost crowded country. Half a century of town and country planning has enabled it to retain an enviable rural coherence, while still permitting low-density urban living. There is no doubt of the alternative –the corrupted landscapes of southern Portugal, Spain or Ireland. Avoiding this ratherthan promoting it should unite the left and right of the political spectrum.26. Britain’s public sentiment about the countryside _.[A] didn’t start till the Shakespearean age[B] has brought much benefit to the NHS[C] is fully backed by the royal family [D]is not well reflected in politics27. According to Paragraph 2, the achievements of the National Trust are now being .[A] gradually destroyed[B] effectively reinforced[C] largely overshadowed[D] properly protected28. which of the following can be inferred from Paragraph 3?[A] Labour is under attack for opposing development.[B] The Conservatives may abandon ―off-plan‖building.[C] The Liberal Democrats are losing political influence. [D]Ukip may gain from its support for rural conservation.29. The author holds that George Osborne’sPreference .[A] highlights his firm stand against lobby pressure[B] shows his disregard for the character of rural areas[C] stresses the necessity of easing the housing crisis [D]reveals a strong prejudice against urban areas30. In the last paragraph, the author shows his appreciation of .[A] the size of population in Britain.[B] the political life in today’s Britain[C] the enviable urban lifestyle in Britain[D] the town-and-country planning in BritainT ext 3“There is one and only one social responsibility of busines s,‖ wrote Mi l t on Friedman, a Nobel prize-winning economist. ―That is, to use its resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profit s.‖ B ut even if you accept F r i edman's premise and regard corporate soc i al responsibility (CSR) policies as a waste of shareholders' money, things may not be absolutely clear-cut. New research suggests that CSR may create monetary value for companies—at least when they are prosecuted for corruption.The largest firms in America and Britain together spend more than $15 billion a year on CSR, according to an estimate last year by EPG, a consulting firm. This could add value to their businesses in three ways. First, consumers may take CSR spending as a ―s i gnal‖that a company's products are of high quality. Second, customers may be willing to buy a company's products as an indirect way to donate to the go od causes it helps. And third, through a more diffuse ―ha lo ef f ect‖,whereby its good deeds earn it greater consideration from consumers and others.Previous studies on CSR have had trouble differentiating these effects because consumers can be affected by all three. A recent paper attempts to separate them by looking at bribery prosecutions under America's Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCP A). It argues that since prosecutors do not consume a company's products as part of their investigations, they could be influenced only by the halo effect.The study found that, among prosecuted firms, those with the most comprehensive CSR programmes tended to get more lenient penalties. Their analysis ruled out the possibility that it was firms' political influence, rather than their CSR stance, that accounted for the leniency: companies that contributed more to political campaigns did not receive lower fines.In all, the authors conclude that whereas prosecutors should only evaluate a case based on its merits, they do se em to be influenced by a company's record in C S R.―We estimate that ei t her eliminating a substantial labour-rights concern, such as child labour, or increasing corporate giving by about 20% results in fines that generally are 40% lower than the typical punishment for bribing foreign official s,‖ says one researcher.Researchers admit that their study does not answer the question of how much businesses ought to spend on CSR. Nor does it reveal how much companies are banking on the halo effect, rather than the other possible benefits, when they decide their do -gooding policies. But at least they have demonstrated that when companies get into trouble with the law, evidence of good character can win them a less costly punishment.31. The author views Milton Friedman’s statement about CSR with _.[A ] tolerance [B] skepticism [C] uncertainty [D] approval32. According to Paragraph 2, CSR helps a company by_ .[A] winning trust from consumers[B] guarding it against malpractices[C] protecting it from being defamed[D] raising the quality of its products33. The expression ―more lenient‖(Line 2, Para. 4) is closest in meaning to .[A] more effective[B] less controversial[C] less severe[D] more lasting34. When prosecutors evaluate a case, a compa n y’s CSR record .[A] has an impact on their decision[B] comes across as reliable evidence[C] increases the chance of being penalized[D] constitutes part of the investigation35. Which of the following is true of CSR, according to the last paragraph?[A ] Its negative effects on businesses are often overlooked.[B] The necessary amount of companies’spending on it is unknown.[C] Companies’financial capacity for it has been overestimated.[D] It has brought much benefit to the banking industry.T ext 4There will eventually come a day when The New Y ork Times ceases to publish stories on newsprint. Exactly when that day will be is a matter of debate. "Sometime in the future," the paper's publisher said back in 2010.Nostalgia for ink on paper and the rustle of pages aside, there's plenty of incentive to ditch print. The infrastructure required to make a physical newspaper—printing presses, delivery trucks—isn't just expensive; it's excessive at a time when online-only competitors don't have the same set of financial constraints. Readers are migrating away from print anyway. And though printad sales still dwarf their online and mobile counterparts, revenue from print is still declining.Overhead may be high and circulation may be lower, but rushing to eliminate its print edition would be a mistake, says BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti.Peretti says the Times shouldn't waste time getting out of the print business, but only if they go about doing it the right way. "Figuring out a way to accelerate that transition would make sense for them," he said, "but if you discontinue it, you're going to have your most loyal customers really upset with you."Sometimes that's worth making a change anyway. Peretti gives the example of Netflix discontinuing its DVD-mailing service to focus on streaming.* "It was seen as a blunder," he said. The move turned out to be foresighted. And if Peretti were in charge at The New Y ork Times? "I wouldn’t pick a year to end print," he said. "I would raise prices and make it into more of a legacy product."The most loyal customers would still get the product they favor, the idea goes, and they'd feel like they were helping sustain the quality of something they believe in. "So if you're overpaying for print, you could feel like you were helping," Peretti said. "Then increase it as a higher rate each year and essentially try to generate additional revenue." In other words, if you're going to make a print product, make it for the people who are already obsessed with it. Which may be what the Times is doing already. Getting the print edition seven days a week costs nearly $500 a year—more than twice as much as a digital-only subscription."It's a really hard thing to do and it's a tremendous luxury that BuzzFeed doesn't have a legacy business," Peretti remarked. "But we're going to have questions like that where we have things we're doing that don't make sense when the market changes and the world changes. In those situations, it's better to be more aggressive than less aggressive."36. The New Y ork Times is considering ending its print edition partly due to .[A] the high cost of operation[B] the pressure from its investors[C] the complaints from its readers[D] the increasing online ad sales37. Peretti suggests that, in face of the present situation, the Times should _.[A] seek new sources of readership[B] end the print edition for good[C] aim for efficient management[D] make strategic adjustments38. It can be inferred from Paragraphs 5 and 6 that a ―l eg acy product‖.[A] helps restore the glory of former times[B] is meant for the most loyal customers[C] will have the cost of printing reduced[D] expands the popularity of the paper39. Peretti believes that, in a changing world _.[A] legacy businesses are becoming outdated[B] cautiousness facilitates problem-solving[C] aggressiveness better meets challenges[D] traditional luxuries can stay unaffected40.Which of the following would be the best title of the text?[A] Shift to Online Newspapers All at Once[B] Cherish the Newspaper Still in Y our Hand[C] Make Y our Print Newspaper a Luxury Good[D] Keep Y our Newspapers Forever in FashionPart BDirections：Read the following texts and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A-G for each of the numbered paragraphs (41-45). There are two extra subheadings. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)[A] Create a new image of yourself[B] Have confidence in yourself[C] Decide if the time is right [D]Understand the context[E] W ork with professionals[F] Make it efficient[G] Know your goalsNo matter how formal or informal the work environment, the way you present yourself has an impact. This is especially true in first impressions. According to research from Princeton University, people assess your competence, trustworthiness, and likeability in just a tenth of a second, solely based on the way you look.The difference between t oda y’s workplace and the ―d ress for succes s‖ era is that the range of options is so much broader. Norms have evolved and fragmented. In some settings, red sneakers or dress t-shirts can convey status; in others not so much. Plus, whatever image we present is magnified by social-media services like LinkedIn. Chances are, your headshots are seen much more often now than a decade or two ago. Millennials, it seems, face the paradox of being the least formal generation yet the most conscious of style and personal branding. It can be confusing.So how do we navigate this? How do we know when to inves t in an upgrade?And what’s the bes t way to pull off one that enhances our goals? Here are some tips:41.A s an executive coach, I’ve seen image upgrades be particularly helpful during t r ans i t i ons—when looking for a new job, stepping into a new or more public role, or changing work environments. If you’r e in a period of change or just feeling stuck and in a rut, now may be a good time. If you’re not sure, ask for honest feedback from trusted friends, colleagues and pr of es sional s.Look for cues about how others perceive you. Maybe there’s no need for an upgrade and t hat’s OK.42.Get clear on what impact you’r e hoping to have. Are you looking to refresh your image or pivot it? For one person, the goal may be to be taken more seriously and enhance their professional image. For another, it may be to be perceived as more approachable, or more modern and stylish. For someone moving from finance to advertising, maybe they want to look more―S o H o.‖(I t’s OK to use characterizations like t hat.)43.Look at your work environment like an anthropologist. What are the norms of yourenvironment? What conveys status? Who are your most important audiences? How do the people you respect and look up to present themselves? The better you understand the cultural context, the more control you can have over your impact.44.Enlist the support of professionals and share with them your goals and context. Hire a personal stylist, or use the free styling service of a store like J·Crew·Try a hair stylist instead of a barber. Work with a professional photographer instead of your spouse or friend. I t’s not asexpensive as you might think.45.The point of a style upgrade isn’t to become more vain or to spend more time fuss ing over what to wear. Instead, use it as an opportunity to reduce decision fatigue. Pick a standard work uniform or a few go-to options. Buy all your clothes at once with a stylist instead of shopping alone, one article of clothing at a time.Part CDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Y our translation should be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)Mental health is our birthright. (46) W e don’t have to learn how to be mentally healthy; it is built into us in the same way that our bodies know how to heal a cut or mend a broken bone. Mental health can’t be learned, only reawakened. I t is like the immune system of the body, which under stress or through lack of nutrition or exercise can be weakened, but which never leaves us. When we don’t understand the value of mental health a nd we don’t know how to gai n ac cess to it, mental health will remain hidden from us. (47) Our ment al health doesn’t really go anywhere; like the sun behind a cloud, it can be temporarily hidden from view, but it is fully capable of being restored in an instant.Mental health is the seed that contains self-esteem—confidence in ourselves and an ability to trust in our common sense. It allows us to have perspective on our lives—the ability to not take ourselves too seriously, to laugh at ourselves, to see the bigger picture, and to see that things will work out. I t’s a form of innate or un learned optimism. (48) Mental health allows us to view others with sympathy if they are having troubles, with kindness if they are in pain, and withunconditional love no matter who they are. Mental health is the source of creativity for solving problems, resolving conflict, making our surroundings more beautiful, managing our home life, or coming up with a creative business idea or invention to make our lives easier. It gives us patience for ourselves and toward others as well as patience while driving, catching a fish, working on our car, or raising a child. It allows us to see the beauty that surrounds us each moment in nature, inculture, in the flow of our daily lives.(49) Although mental health is the cure-all for living our lives, it is perfectly ordinary as you will see that it has been there to direct you through all your difficult decisions. It has been available even in the most mundane of life situations to show you right from wrong, good from bad, friend from foe. Mental health has commonly been called conscience, instinct, wisdom, common sense, or the inner voice. W e think of it simply as a healthy and helpful flow of intelligent thought. (50) As you will come to see, knowing that mental health is always available and knowing to trust it allow us to slow down to the moment and live life happily.Section III WritingPart A51.

Part I Reading Comprehension （共20小题，每小题2分，共40分）Directions: In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by four comprehension questions. Read the passage and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Human feelings are affected by color unconsciously. Manufactures have discovered by trial anderror that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered by consumers as tasteless, and that cosmetics should never be packaged in brown。

These discoveries have grown into a whole discipline of color psychology. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm, while yellow is a key color in association with energy. For primitive men, activity during the day time meant hunting and attacking, in which he soon saw red, the color of blood and hunting and fire. So it was natural that green, the complementary color to red, should be associated with passive defense. Experiments have shown that colors also have a direct psychological effect. People when exposed to bright red, show an increase in breathing rate, heart beat and blood pressure. Red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure have exactly the opposite effect, because it is a calming color. Because red has an implication of excitement, it is chosen as the signal for danger. Some analyses show that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm. So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced countries are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop trafficdead.11、If people are exposed to red, which of the following statements does NOT happen?A、They feel afraid.B、They breathe faster.C、Their blood pressure rise.D、Their hearts heat faster.2、Manufacturers have discovered the secret of colors in making .A、by experimenting with different colorsB、by developing the discipline of color psychologyC、by trying not to make mistakesD、by accumulating their various experiences3、Which of the following is NOT true?A、Our feelings about certain colors are purely psychological.B、Food should never be packaged in brown.C、Sugar sells badly in green wrappings.D、Color probably has an effect on us which we are not conscious of.4、Our preferences for certain colors are .A、dependent on our characterB、linked with the primitive menC、associated with psychologyD、associated with the time of the day5、The passage is about .A、color and traffic accidentsB、color and manufacturersC、which color might influence human feelingsD、why color affects human emotions and behaviorPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Exchange a glance with someone, and then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For very social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up (打量) and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact, which sociologist Erving Goffman (1963)2calls “a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Should you bream the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator, you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.If you hold eye contract for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner. They typically gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, and then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals—“I know you,”“I am interested in you,” or “You look peculiar and I am curious about you.” This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.6、It can be inferred from the first paragraph that .A、every glance has its significanceB、staring at a person is an expression of interestC、a gaze longer than 3 seconds is unacceptableD、a glance conveys more meaning than words7、If you want to be left alone on an elevator, the best thing to do is .A、to look into another passenger’s eyesB、to avoid eye contact with other passengersC、to signal you are not a threat to anyoneD、to keep a distance from other passengers8、By “a dimming of the lights” (Lines 9~10, Para. 1), Erving Goffman means “”.A、closing one’s eyesB、turning off the lightsC、ceasing to glance at others B、reducing gaze-time to the minimum9、If one is looked at by a stranger for too long, he tends to feel .A、depressedB、curiousC、uneasyD、amused10、The passage mainly discusses .A、the limitation of eye contactB、the exchange of ides through eye contactC、proper behavior in various situationsD、the role of eye contact in interpersonal communicationPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:3Cyclo-cross is a cross-country bicycle racing in open and usually quite rough country with riders often forced to dismount and carry their bicycles.The spot, originated early in the 20th century in France, was current in the 1920s, but became prominent in the 1950s (the British Cyclo-Cross Association was founded in 1954). Originally a European sport, cyclo-cross became popular throughout Western Europe and in the United States. World championships were initiated in 1925; by 1950 these were recognized by the Union Cyclist International (International Cyclists’ Union). After 1967 amateur and professional classes were officially separated in competition.The 24-kilometer cyclo-cross course, often involving laps, is usually completed in 60 minutes. A course typically includes obstacles such as ditches, mud, fallen trees, streams, flight of stairs, fences, and gates; artificial hurdles are added to insufficiently challenging natural courses. Cyclo-cross races are usually held from September to March, adding winter weather hazards to the challenge.There is a massed start with there field assembling not more than two abreast. Helpers are often stationed around the course with spare bicycles in case the original machine encounters mechanical difficulties or becomes too weighted down by picked up to the course.11、What does the word “dismount” in paragraph one mean?A、Give up.B、Give in.C、Get out.D、Get off.12、According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about cyclo-cross?A、The cyclists sometimes have to carry the bicycles instead of riding them.B、Riders in the race are arranged side by side in not more than two lines.C、The riders start simultaneously on the starting line.D、The riders are allowed to change their machines.13、Cyclo-cross became widely known .A、in the 1920sB、in the 1950sC、in 1925D、in 196714、According to the passage, cyclo-cross are usually held from September to March because .A、the winter is westerner’s favorite seasonB、winter can offer cyclists more risk and dangerC、the winter weather is more agreeableD、in winter the riders needn’t dismount and carry their bicycle15、Which of the following statements can you infer from the passage?A、The riders are competitive and food of taking risks.4B、People except the riders show little interest in cyclo-cross.C、Before 1967, amateur and professional classes had never been separated in competition.D、Helpers are often hired by the riders.Passage 4(非英语类学生必做)Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:In the second half of each year, many powerful storms are born in the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean seas. Of these, only about half a dozen generate the strong, circling winds of 75 miles per hour or more that give them hurricane status, and several usually make their way to the coast. There they cause millions of dollars of damage, and bring death to large numbers of people.The great storms that hit the coast start as innocent circling disturbances hundreds—even thousands—of miles out to sea. They travel aimlessly over water warmed by the trade winds. When conditions are just right, warm moist air flows in at the bottom of such a disturbance, moves upward through it and comes out at the top. In the process, the moisture in this warm air produces rain, and with it the heat is converted to energy in the form of strong winds. As the heat increases, the young hurricane begins to swirl in a counterclockwise motion.The average life of hurricane is only about nine days, but it contains almost more power than we can imagine. The energy in the heat released by a hurricane’s rainfall in a single day would satisfy the entire electrical needs of the United States for more than six months. Water, not wind, in the main source of death and destruction in a hurricane. A typical hurricane bring 6 to 12 mountains of water moving toward the low-pressure center. The water level rises as much as 15 feet above normal as it moves toward shore.16、When is an ordinary tropical storm considered to be a hurricane?A、When it begins in the Atlantic and Caribbean seas.B、When it hits the coastline.C、When its winds reach 75 miles per hour or even more.D、When the circling winds bring damages.17、What is the worst thing about hurricanes?A、The destructive effects of water.B、The heat they release.C、That they last about nine days on the average.5D、Their strong winds.18、The counterclockwise swirling of the hurricane is brought about by .A、the low-pressure area in the center of the stormB、the force of waves of waterC、the trade windsD、the increasing heat(英语类学生必做)Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartment. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new building which would also be rent controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problem in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps mechanical difficulties or becomes too weighted down by mud picked up to the course people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. The price, which is the wage that employers must pay, increases. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal”. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of6different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.16、There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may .A、cause a shortage of apartmentsB、worry those who rent apartments as homesC、increase the profits of landlordsD、encourage landlords to invest building apartments17、According to the critics, rent control .A、will always benefit those who rent apartmentsB、is unnecessaryC、will bring negative effects in the long runD、is necessary under all circumstances18、The problem of unemployment will arise .A、if the minimum wage is set too highB、if the minimum wage is set too lowC、if the workers are unskilledD、if the maximum wage is set19、The passage tell us .A、the relationship between supply and demandB、the possible results of government controlsC、the necessity of government controlD、the urgency of getting rid of government controls20、Which of the following statements is NOT true?A、The results of economic decisions can not always be predicted.B、Minimum wage can not always protect employees.C、Economic theory can predict the result of economic decisions if other factors are not changing.D、Economic decisions should not be based on economic theory.Part II Vocabulary and Structure （共40小题，每小题1分，共40分）Directions: In this part there are forty incomplete sentences.

But soon the settlers wanted bigger farms and 64 land10for themselves and their families. So the Europeans started to 65 the land from the Indians. Naturally, 66 the whites started taking all the Indian’s land, the Indians started 67 back. But the white were stronger and 68 . Slowly they pushed the Indians 69 those parts of the continent that the whites didn’t want—the parts 70 it was too cold or too dry or too mountainous to live. By 1875, the Indians were living in a(n) 71 place called “reservation”. 72 even here the whites took land from them—perhaps the whites wanted the wood, or perhaps 73 had important minerals in it, 74 the whites even wanted to make national parks there.

People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of what they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used as money. In parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money, too.The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung（系）them together and carried them from place to place. Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coin of gold and silver.But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today.Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.61. Which of the following can be cited as an example of the use of money in exchange for services?A) To sell a bicycle for ＄20B) To get some money for old booksC) To buy things you need or wantD) To get paid for your work62. Where were shells used as money in history?A) In the Philippines. B) In ChinaC) In Africa D) It is not mentioned63. Why, according to the passage, did ancient Chinese coins have a square hole in the center?A) Because it would be easier to put them together and carry them around.B) Because it would be lighter for people to carry them from place to place.C) Because people wanted to make it look nicer.D) Because people wanted to save the expensive metal they were made from.64. Why does the author say that even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive?A) Because they are easy to steal.B) Because they are difficult for people to obtain.C) Because they are not easy to carry around.D) Because they themselves are expensive, too.65. Which one do you choose as the best title for this passage?A) Money and Its UsesB) Different Things Used as MoneyC) Different Countries, Different MoneyD) The History of MoneyTwoResearch has shown that motivation（动机）is very important in learning a language; you need to be enthusiastic about it, and to be interested in it. Different people will have different motives – the desire for promotion, the hope of being able to study abroad, curiosity about a very different culture, and pure intellectual enjoyment is only one of possible motives. But actually wanting to learn is the most important motive of all.Courage is an essential attribute（属性）in learning a language. It takes a lot of courage to speak a foreign language either in front of your friends or to native speakers, but don’t be afraid of making mistakes---that is the way we learn. Nowadays there are many different forms of English, each with its own constructions and accent, and, so long as you can make yourself understood and can understand what is said to you, you have succeeded in communicating, which is the purpose of any language.Curiosity is not only a possible motivation. It is also a great help in your learning. Remember that a language is not just a grammatical system, it is the outcome of a certain culture. It is not very helpful just to learn lots of words and lists of grammatical rules unless you know as much as possible about the background of the language, so that you can understand the ideas which are being conveyed（表达），the references which are being made, and the inferences which can be drawn from the information explicitly（明白地）given. So learn as much as you can about the different cultures which influence English—watch television programs, listen to the radio, try to obtain newspaper and magazines which are written by native speakers, look at advertisements, and above all, read---not textbooks, but novels and poems and plays. They will show you how language is really used. The English language is not an abstract(抽象的)system; it is a living form of expression which derives much of its meaning from the context in which it is used, and much of its effect from a whole network of extra – linguistic（语言学之外的）knowledge. If you live in a country where English is the native language, you acquire this knowledge naturally, just as in China you acquired your own cultural knowledge unconsciously. But, becauseyou are unlikely to be able to visit countries where English is spoken as the native language, you have to make a conscious effort to acquire this cultural awareness and knowledge.66. With what topic is this passage primarily concerned?A) Curiosity in Learning a Language B) Courage in Learning a LanguageC) Motivation in Learning a Language D) Qualities in Learning a Language67. The author of this passage possibly is a ______.A) beginner of English Learning B) foreign teacher of EnglishC) Chinese teacher of English D) Chinese student studying abroad68. What does the author suggest in this passage?A) You should not learn grammar.B) You should ignore the rules of pronunciation.C) You should learn a language by making mistakes.D) You should learn a language at school69. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A) You should be prepared to make mistakes in communicationB) Words are the basis of English learningC) Good pronunciation is important to an English learner.D) Wanting to know everything does not help you learning a language.70. According to the author, what’s the best way of learning English?A) To study hard B) To study abroadC) To learning about cultures D) To make mistakesThreeAmongst the most popular books being written today are those which are usually classified as science fiction（科幻小说）.Hundreds of titles are published every year and are read by all kind of people. Furthermore, some of the most successful films of recent years have been based on science fiction stories.It is often thought that science fiction is a fairly new development in literature, but its ancestors（原型）can be found in books written hundreds of years ago. These books are often concerned with the presentation of some forms of ideal society, a theme which is still often found in modern stories.Most of classics of science fiction, however, have been written within the last one hundred years. Books by writers such as Jules Verne and H. G. Wells, to mention just two well – known authors, have been translated into many languages.Modern science fiction writers don’t writes about men from Mars or space adventure stories. They are more interested in predicting the results of technical developments on society and the human mind; or in imagining future worlds which are a reflection（反映）of the world which we live in now. Because of this their writing has obvious political undertones（含意）.In an age where science fact frequently overtakes（超越）science fiction, the writers may find it difficult to keep ahead of scientific advances. Those who are sufficiently clear – sighted to see the way we are going, however, may provide avaluable lesson on how to deal with the problems which society will inevitably face as it tries to come to terms with a continually changing view of the world.71. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A) Science fiction is fairly new in literature.B) Science fiction is rather popular with people today.C) Science fiction often deals with some form of ideal society.D) Hundreds of books classified as science fiction are printed every year.72.

In our present world, _____________________.A) science develops as fast as it is predicted by science fiction writersB) science develops faster than writers can imagineC) science fiction writers can always foresee what wonders science can doD) Only science fiction writers can see the way science is going75. Which of the following is NOT the conclusion that we draw from this passage?A) Sensible science fiction writers may tell us what to do in future.B) We are bound to have problems as we try to make progress in science.C) No one knows anything about what to do with the problems we are to face.D) Our view of the world are subject to change.IV.Short Answer (10 points, 2 for each)Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the morning. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues（独白）as: ”Get up, John! Y ou will be late for work again! ” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature－and－energy peak in the evening. Much family quarreling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.Y ou can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitmen believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract（对抗）your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you wantto. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn（呵欠）and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. A void the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and takes requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.76. What is Dr. Kleitman’s new explanation?It is that everyone has _________________________________________________________.77.When is the time your cycle of body temperature is at its peak?It is ________________________________________________________________________.78. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should ______________________________________________________________________________.79.
