Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage:If women are mercilessly exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stories. Clothes, which have been worn only a few tunes, have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened: necklines are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim mat the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability. They are only interested in outward appearance and they lake advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn't at some lime in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high--heeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to bedrawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashion of women's clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.21. What is the tone of the passage?A) CriticizingB) PraisingC) Matter-of-factD) Enthusiastic22. According to the author, fashion is a thing that ____.A) is neither a waste of money nor a waste of timeB) contributes something really important to the societyC) is practicalD) makes its followers suffer23. Which of the implications about the last paragraph is TRUE?A) Women are inconsistent and unstable.B) Men are stable and reliable.C) Dress cannot reflect a person's character.D) Men are clever enough not to care about women's appearance.24. This passage is most probably written____.A) from a woman's point of viewB) from a man's point of viewC) by a womanD) by a man25. With regard to the whole passage, who are to blame for the quickly changing fashion industry?A) Women themselves.B) Fashion designers.C) Big stores.D) All of the above.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:Marshall Field's, a department store in Chicago, has long used the motto: "Give the lady what she wants." Finding out what the customer wants is one of the problems marketing research tries to solve. Marketing research has been defined as trying to analyze marketing problems scientifically. It studies people as buyers and sellers, examining their habits, attitudes, preferences, dislikes, and purchasing power. It oftenstudies specific groups of people, such as teenagers, high-income groups, or senior citizens. Marketing research also investigates distribution systems, pricing, promotion, product design, packaging, brand names, and almost every aspect of the seller-buyer relationship.Marketing research is divided into number of sub-areas. Advertising research attempts to find out the effectiveness of advertising. It also seeks to learn the best media for advertising specific products; television, newspapers, radio, magazines, billboards, and others. Market analysis tries to identify and measure markets for specific products and to estimate sales potential. Markets may be differentiated by population groups or by geography. Some types of clothing are more likely to sell in Florida and California than in the northern Midwest. Some cosmetics(化妆品)will appeal more to black customers than to white customers. Performance analysis helps a company learn how well it is meeting its goals of sales and profits. Product research covers the whole area of new-product development. Marketing research is an expensive undertaking, and its costs are built into the prices of products.26. The distribution system aims to ____.A) sell goods in marketsB) deliver products to different placesC) analyze productsD) produce and sell goods27. As far as advertising is concerned, television ____.A) is the best medium for direct advertisingB) is the best medium for indirect advertisingC) is a suitable medium only for certain goodsD) is the quickest and cheapest means of advertising28. Sweaters produced for and sold to young women are examples of market differentiation according to ____.A) age and educationB) population groupC) quality and sizeD) gender and occupation29. Performance analysis and product analysis differ in that ____.A) the former aims to find out how a goal is met in a more efficient wayB) the former is to find out if the present performance is directed to the goalC) the latter aims to find out how the present product is marketedD) the latter aims to find out whether a product is being sold well30. According to the last paragraph, the cost of marketing research ____.A) is supplied by the producer and seller togetherB) is met by increasing the price of the productC) is too expensive to be met only by the producerD) is high but the price of the product should be kept lowPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling, Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a respected grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral (组成的) part of one's entire life.Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, lake assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.31. What is the main idea of the passage?A) Education and schooling are quite different experiences.B) One can receive education everywhere; going to school is not a must.C) The common belief that people go to school to get an education is wrong.D) Schooling offers a limited section of formal training while education covers a vast field of informal training.32. What does the author probably mean by “children interrupt their education to go to school”(Para.1)?A) The more years students go to school, the worse their education is.B) People are engaged in education the whole life.C) Children go to school just to make trouble.D) Schooling is not educationally beneficial.33. The phrase "For example" in Para.3 introduces a sentence that gives examples of ____.A) the slices of reality that are to be learnedB) the results of schoolingC) limitations of classroom teachingD) the similarities of alt schools34. Which of the following conclusions does the passage support?A) Without formal education, people would remain ignorant.B) Education systems need to be thoroughly reformed.C) Education involves many years of competence training.D) Going to school is only part of one's education.35. The passage is written in the way of ____.A) contrasting the meanings of two related wordsB) giving examples of different kinds of educationC) listing and discussing several educational problemsD) providing facts to support an argumentPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Under normal conditions the act of communication requires the presence of at least two persons: one who sends and one who receives the communication. In order to communicate thoughts and feelings, there must be a conventional system of signs or symbols which mean the same to the sender and receiver.The means of sending communications are too numerous and varied for systematic classification; therefore, the analysis must begin with the means of receiving communication. Reception of communication is achieved by our senses. Sight, hearing, and touch play the most important roles. Smell and taste play very limited roles, for they cannot receive intellectual expression from fully developed systems of signs and symbols.Examples of visual communication are gesture and mimicry(模仿). Although both frequently accompany speech, there are systems that rely solely on sight, such as those used by deaf and dumb persons. Another means of communicating visually is by signals of fire, smoke, flags, or flashing lights. Feelings may be simply communicated by touch, such as by handshaking or backslapping, although a highly developed system of hand-stroking(抚摸手)has enabled blind, deaf, and dumb persons to communicate intelligently. Whistling to someone, applauding in a theater, and other forms of communication by sound rely upon the ear as a receiver. The most fully developed form of auditory communication is, of course, the spoken language.The means of communication mentioned so far have two features in common:they last only a short time, and the persons involved must be relatively close to each other. Therefore, all are restricted in time and space.36. The author explains that he will deal with reception of communication first because ____.A) communication actually takes place when the message is receivedB) there are more means of receiving than of sending communicationsC) reception of communications involves use of the sensesD) it is difficult to organize by the means of sending communications37. Applauding is specifically mentioned as an example of ____.A) communication by soundB) gesture and mimicryC) communication by touchD) a simple system of visual communication38. Persons who cannot see, hear, or speak are able to communicate through a system of ____.A) gesturingB) handshakingC) hand-strokingD) backslapping39. The author specifically mentions that speech is ____.A) often used when communicating by touchB) the most developed form of communication based on hearingC) the only highly developed system of communicationD) necessary for satisfactory communication by gesture40. Which of the following statements about the ways of communicating ideas and feelings mentioned in the passage is NOT TRUE?A) They can be used to communicate over long distances.B) They require both a sender and a receiver.C) They involve use of conventional signs and symbols.D) They utilize the senses for reception.Part III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes) Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

This 71 called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy 72. During the hours when you 73 your work you may say that you're "hot". That's true. The time of day when you feel most 74 is when your cycle of body temperature is 75 its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For 76 it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it 77 such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: Get up John! You'll be late for work again!

Maybe you're sleepy in the evening but feel you must 84 late anyway. Counteract(对换) your cycle 85 by habitually staying up late than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have important job to do 86 in the day, 87 before your usual hour. This won't change your cycle, but you'll get up steam and work better at your low point. Whenever possible, do 88 work in the afternoon and 89 tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your 90 hours.71. A) might be B) mustC) need be D) can be72.

Ever since he appeared on the earth man has been depending on animals for many things, such as meat, fur and medical materials. Some clever animals like dogs and horses have long been man’s friends and good helpers in his daily life. On the other hand, animals have been depending on man for the protection of their habitat and their reproduction.But the present condition of wildlife is discouraging. Their living space is becoming increasingly smaller as a result of environmental pollution and the destruction of forests. Owing to man’s capture and killing a lot of species have already died out, and many more are now on the verge of extinction. So the total number and species of wild animals are greatly reducing. If such state of affairs should continue, man would ultimately become the only creature on this planet.Animals are part of the whole ecological system, and without them the balance of nature will be destroyed and man will not be able to live on. Therefore, some effective measures should be taken to protect wildlife. First, man should be more aware of the importance of protecting animals and loving those fellow creatures. Second, relevant laws should be made to punish those who cut down trees or kill animals at random.Third, better living environments for wild animals, such as natural reservations and national parks, should be created. In short, the world won’t look so beautiful unless man and animals live in harmony forever.。

One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily hassles. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses ,from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and co-workers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by other despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instructivesupport----financial aid, material resources, and needed services----that reduces stress by helping us resolve and cope with our problems.21.Interpersonal relationships are important because________A. they are indispensable to people’s social well-beingB. they waken people’s desire to exchange resourcesC. they help people to cope with life in the information ageD. they can cure a range of illnesses such as heart disease, etc.22.Research shows that people’s physical and mental health________A. relies on the social welfare system which support themB. depends on their ability to deal with daily worries and troublesC. has much to so with the amount of support they get from othersD. is closely related to their strength for coping with major changes in their lives23.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “cushions”(line 1,para.2)?A. Adds up toB. Lessens the effect ofC. Does away withD. Lays the foundation of24.Helping a sick neighbor with some repair work is an example of_______A. informational supportB. instrumental supportC. social companionshipD. the strengthening of self-respect25.Social companionship is beneficial in that _________A. it helps strengthen our ties with relativesB. it enables us to eliminate our faults and mistakesC. it makes our leisure-time activities more enjoyableD. it draws our attention away from our worries and troublesPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based the following passage:In the passed two years ,millions of Americans have suddenly embraced the bicycle as if it were a starting new invention. Annual bike dales doubled between 1960 and 1970, and there are nearly 70 million bikes in the United States today. That’s more than two for every three automobiles.Of course, the bike has been around for more than 150 years , and this isn’t America’s first bicycle boom. A wave of bike enthusiasm swept the land in the late 1800s and bike production hit two million unites in 1897. Then with the coming of the auto ,bicycling declined ,and for decades remained popular only with children and a few adult faddists(追随时尚的人).Now, national preoccupation(重视)with air pollution and physical fitness has brought the bike back to the forefront -----particularly with adults. More than eight million bikes were sold in the United States last year and a third of them went to adults. The year before, only 15 percent ofnew bike sales were for adults.26. It can be concluded that if people continue to concern themselves with air pollution and physical fitness________A. stricter air standards will be enforcedB. fewer automobiles will be soldC. Americans will enjoy better healthD. bicycle sales will continue to rise27.The bicycle is _______A. enjoying a strong revivalB. creating traffic problemsC. popular only with childrenD. replacing the family car28.The reader can infer that Americans are _______A. quick to follow the example of othersB. interested in comfort and luxuryC. concerned with the quality of their livesD. childish in the way they relax and exercises29.It can be inferred that in America there are ______A. more bicycles than automobilesB. more automobiles than bicyclesC. as many bicycles as automobilesD. fewer automobiles than bicycles30.What is the author’s attitude to this phenomenon?A. NegativeB. PositiveC. NeutralD. CompromisingPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Believe it or not, optical illusion (错觉) can cut highway crashes.Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion. Bent strips, called chevrons(人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down..Now the American Automobile Association Foundation forTraffic Safety in Washington D.C. is planning to repeat Japan’s success. Starting next year,the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.Excessive speed plays a major role as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards are the greatest-----curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.Some studies suggest that straight , horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half. However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bar.Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they are but also make a lane speed to be narrower. The result is a longer reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.31. The passage mainly discusses______A. a new way of highway speed controlB. a new pattern for painting highwaysC. a new approach to training driversE. a new type of optical illusion32. On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that_______A. they should avoid speed-related hazardsB. they should slow down their speedC. they are driving in the wrong laneD. they are approaching the speed limit33. The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former________A. can keep drivers awakeB. can cut road accidents in halfC. will look more attractiveD. will have a longer effect on drivers34.The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to ______A. change the road signs across the countryB. try out the Japanese method in certain areasC. replace the straight, horizontal bars with chevronsD. repeat the Japanese road patterns35.What does the author day about straight ,horizontal bars painted across roads?A. They are falling out of use in the United StatesB. They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of timeC. They are applicable only on broad roadsD. They cannot be applied successfully to traffic circlesPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Crime has its own cycles, a magazine reported some years ago. Police records that were studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime patterns.The pattern of crime has varied little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do rape and other violent attacks. Murder, moreover, is more than seasonal: it is a weekend crime. It is also a nighttime crime:62 percent of murders are committed between 6 p.m and 6 a.m..Unlike the summer high in crimes of bodily harm, burglary has a different cycle. You are most likely to be robbed between 6p.m. and 2 a.m on a Saturday night in December ,January, or February. The most uncriminal month of all? May -----except for one strange statistic. More dog bites are reported in this month than in any other month of the year.Possibly, soaring thermometers and high humidity(湿度) bring on our strange and terrifying actions, but police officials are not surer. “ There is ,of cours e, no proof of a connection between humidity and murder,” they say, “Why murder’s high time should come in the summertime we really don’t know.”36.The passage is about_______A. police recordsB. crime patternsC. the links between seasonal changes and the crime patternsD. the summer high in crimes37.For many years which of the following does not reach its high during the summer?A.

Chances are you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives(察觉)something different about it.Perceiving goes on in our minds. Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket (罚款单). Another may say that he sees a rushhour traffic jam at the intersection. The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children in tow(拉着). For perceptio n is the minds’s interpretation of what the senses – in this case our eyes – tell us.Many psychologists today are working to try to determine just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him. Using a scientific approach, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors. By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene. （1409A卷1、1412B卷1、1504C卷1）(1).Seeing and perceiving are ______.A. the same actionB. two separate actionsC. two actions carried on entirely by the eyesD. several actions that take place at different times(2).Perceiving is an action that takes place ___.A. in our eyesB. only when we think very hard about somethingC. only under the direction of a psychologist D . in every person’s mind(3).Perception involves what ____A. our senses tell usB. our minds interpretC. we see with our eyes onlyD. both A and B(4).People perceive different things about the same scene because ____.A. they see different thingB. they cannot agree about thingsC. some have better eyesightD. none of these(5).Psychologists study perception by _____.A. setting up many experimentsB. asking each other what they seeC. looking out of windowsD. studying people’s eyes2.Data from the pioneer spacecraft of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) apparently prove the theory that searing 900-degree Fahrenheit surface temperature of Venus is due to an atmospheric greenhouse effect caused mainly by a blanket of carbon dioxide. Such a greenhouse effect is created when energy in the form of sunlight easily passes through a planet’s atmosphere, warms its surface, and is converted to heat radiation that is then held in by the atmosphere. The orbiting spacecraft sampled Venus’ atmosphere from top to bottom, enabling NASA’s scientists to establish the exact amount of sunlight absorbed at various places in the planet’s atmosphere and on its surface. Measurements of atmosphere composition, temperature profiles, and radiative heating predicted Venus’ surface temperature very accurately. The planet is closer to the Sun than is Earth, and it has a relatively thin at mosphere like Earth’s but。

Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences, argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Cognitive (认知学派的) researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, maintain that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others.The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators. But the careful use of small monetary (金钱的) rewards sparks creativity in grade-school children, suggesting that properly presented inducements (刺激) indeed aid inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.“If kids know they’re working for a reward and can fo cus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity,” says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. “But it’s easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much anticipation for rewards.”A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for ordinary achievement ends up with uninspired students, Eisenberger holds. As an example of the latter point, he notes growing efforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and restore failing grades.In earlier grades, the use of so-called token economies, in which students handle challengingproblems and receive performance-based points toward valued rewards, shows promise in raising effort and creativity, the Delaware psychologist claims. （10分）(1) Psychologists are divided with regard to their attitudes toward ________. （2分） A.the choice between spiritual encouragement and monetary rewards B.the amount of monetary rewards for student’creativity C.the study of relationship between actions and their consequences D.the effects of external rewards on students’performance ★标准答案：D(2) What is the response of many educators to external rewards for their students? （2分）A.They have no doubts about them.B.They have doubts about them.C.They approve of them.D.They avoid talking about them. ★标准答案：B(3) Which of the following can best raise students’creativity according to Robert Eisenberger? （2分） A.Assigning them tasks they have not dealt with before. B.Assigning them tasks which require inventiveness. C.Giving them rewards they really deserve. D.Giving them rewards they anticipate. ★标准答案：C(4) It can be inferred from the passage that major universities are trying to tighten their grading standards because they believe ________. （2分）A.rewarding poor performance may kill the creativity of studentsB.punishment is more effective than rewardingC.failing uninspired students helps improve their overall academic standardsD.discouraging the students’ anticipation for easy rewards i s a matter of urgency ★标准答案：A(5) The phrase “token economies”(Line 1, Para. 5) probably refers to ________. （2分）A.ways to develop economyB.systems of rewarding studentsC.approaches to solving problemsD.methods of improving performance★标准答案：B2. Imagine a world 400 years ago where children were used as chimney sweeps. The pay was low, it was a dirty trade and there was little reward for the men who did the job and even less for children.Medway’s annual Sweeps Festival recreates the joy and laughter enjoyed by the chimney sweeps at their traditional holiday: the one time of the year the sweeps could leave the soot（烟灰）behind and have some fun. The sweeps’holiday was traditionally held on 1 May each year. Locally, they used to mark the occasion by staging a procession through the streets of Rochester.Their fun continued with the Jack-in-the-Green ceremony, a seven-foot character that they used to waken at dawn on Blue Bell Hill, Chatham. The Jack-in-the-Green would walk with the chimney sweeps in their parade. When the Climbing Boys’ Act 1868 made it illegal to employ young boys to carry out the trade, the traditional procession gradually began to fade. The final May celebration was held in the early 1900s.The modern day Rochester Sweeps Festival is a colorful mix of music, dancing and entertainment with more than 60 Morris sides and entertainers celebrating throughout the three-day festival. The festival was revived in 1981 by local businessman Gordon Newton, a keen historian. He decided it was time to bring it back and over the years he has helped develop the festival into what it is today — an excellent performance of traditional Britain.Gordon researched the Sweeps’tradition and organized a small parade, involving local Morris teams. In time, Medway Council took over organization of the festival but Gordon remainedactively involved. Today he is festival producer and plays melodeon（簧风琴）for several Morris teams. Doug Hudson is the festival’s music director, a role he has held for many years. Through Gordon’s vision and hard work, Doug’s musical ability and the council’s help, the Rochester Sweeps Festival has become the largest May Day celebration of its kind in the country. （10分）(1) According to the writer, chimney sweeps ____________. （2分） A.were highly respected B.were well rewarded C.led a hard life in the past D.worked in good conditions★标准答案：C(2) Medway’s Sweeps Festival ____________. （2分） A.has been organized by the Jack-in-the-Green B.dated back to the May celebration in the early 1900s C.is held to honor those chimney sweeps every other year D.has become a time for chimney sweeps to enjoy themselves★标准答案：D(3) The underlined word “revive”in the 4th paragraph most probably means ___________. （2分）A.realizeB.reviewC.recreateD.recognize★标准答案：C(4) It can be inferred from the passage that ____________. （2分） A.the festival has never been supported by the local government B.The festival is a good way to see British folk customs in action C.youngsters has been forbidden to be chimney sweeps since 1981 D.the modern festival lasts five days celebrating the coming of spring★标准答案：B(5) What is the passage mainly concerned about? （2分） A.Sweeps Festival historyB.Medway’s traditional holidaysC.Climbing Boys’Act 1868D.a procession in Rochester★标准答案：A3. Have you ever heard the story of the four-minute mile? Many years ago, people believed that it was impossible for a human being to run a mile in less than four minutes until Roger Banister proved it wrong in1954.What happens if you put an animal in a pond? Any animal, big or small, will swim its way through. What happens when someone, who does not know how to swim, falls in deep waters? They drown. If an animal who has not learned swimming could escape by swimming, why not you? Because you believe you will drown while the animal does not.Have you ever wondered why the letters are organized in a particular order on hour keyboard? You might have thought it is to increase the typing speed. Most people never question it. But the fact is that this system was developed to reduce the typing speed at a time when typewriter parts would jam if the operator typed too fast.These three cases show the power of our beliefs. There is no other more powerful directing force in human behavior than belief. Your beliefs have the power to create and to destroy. A belief delivers a direct command to your nervous system.I used a snake in my workshops for children to show them how unrealistic some of their beliefs are. Students of a school in India, said snakes were slippery, slimy (黏糊糊的) and poisonous. After doing an exercise for changing beliefs, they handled my snake and found it to be dry andclean. They also remembered that only three types of poisonous snakes exist in India.Did this story end the way you thought?

A breakthrough (突破) in the provision of energy from the sun for the European Economic Community (EEC) could be brought forward by up to two decades, if a modest increase could be provided in the EEC’s research effort in this field, according to the senior EEC scientists engaged in experiments in solar energy at EEC’s scientific laboratories at Ispra, near Milan.The senior West German scientist in charge of the Community’s solar energy programme, Mr. Joachim Gretz, told journalists that at present levels of research spending it was most unlikely that solar energy would provide as much as three per cent of the Community’s energy requirements even after the year 2000. But he said that with a modest increase in the present< sums, devoted by the EEC to this work it was possible that the breakthrough could be achieved by the end of the next decade.Mr. Gretz calculates that if solar energy only provided three per cent of the EEC’s needs, this could still produce a saving of about a billion pounds in the present bill for imported energy each year. And he believes that with the possibility of utilizing more advanced technology in this field it might be possible to satisfy a much bigger share of the Community’s future energy needs.At present the EEC spends about $2.6 millions a year on solar research at Ispra, one of the EEC’s official joint research centres, and another $3 millions a year in indirect research with universities and other independent bodies. （10分）(1) The phrase “be brought forward”(Line 2, Para. 1) most probably means ________. （2分）A.be expectedB.be completedC.be advancedD.be introduced★标准答案：C(2) Some scientists believe that a breakthrough in the use of solar energy depends on ________.A.sufficient fundingB.further experimentsC.advanced technologyD.well-equipped laboratories ★标准答案：A(3) According to Mr. Gretz, the present sum of money will enable the scientists to provide ________. （2分）A.more than 3 ~, 6 of the EEC’s needs after the year 2000B.only 3% of the EEC’s needs before the year 2000C.less than 3% of the EEC’s needs before the year 2000D.3% of the EEC’s needs after the year 2000 ★标准答案：C(4) Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? （2分） A.The EEC spends one billion pounds on imported energy each year. B.At the present level of research spending, it is difficult to make any significant progress in the provision of energy from the sun.C.The desired breakthrough could be obtained by the end of the next decade if investment were increased.D.The total yearly spending of the EEC on solar energy research amounted to almost 6 million. ★标准答案：A(5) The application of advanced technology to research in solar energy ________. （2分）A.would lead to a big increase in research fundingB.would make it unnecessary to import oilC.would make it possible to meet the future energy needs of the EECD.would providea much greater proportion of the Community’s future energy needs ★标准答案：D三. 完型填空（共10题,共15分）1. {Today the car is the most popular sort of transportation in all of the United States.

Reading Comprehension (2 points each, 40 points)Directions:In this part, there are four passages followed by several questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the ONE that you think is the correct answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Very few people were coming to eat at the White Rose Restaurant, and its ownerdid not know what to do. The price was reasonable and the food was of good quality, but nobody seemed to want to eat there.Then he did something that changed all that, and in a few weeks his restaurant is always full of men with their lady friends. Whenever a gentleman came in with a lady, a smiling waiter gave each of them a menu(菜单), the menu looked exactly the same on the outside, but there was an important difference inside. The menu that the waiter gave to the man supplied the correct price for each dish and each bottle of wine, while the menu that he gave to the lady supplied a much higher price! So when the man calmly ordered dish after dish and wine after wine, the lady thought he was much more generous(慷慨) than he really was.11. Why didn’t people come to the White Rose Restaurant to eat at first?A. Because the price was high.B. Because the food was too cheap.C. Because the food was not good.D. The passage didn’t mention.12. According to the passage we can conclude that the people who eat at thisrestaurant are mostly ______.A. poor old peopleB. rich young peopleC. men with their girl friendsD. parents with their children13. The difference between the two kinds of menu lie in ______.A. the colorB. the shapeC. the priceD. the food14. According to the passage we can infer that when men with their girl friends eat atthis restaurant, the food was paid _____.A. always by the ladies onlyB. always by the men onlyC. sometimes by the ladiesD. either by the men or by the ladies15. According to the passage we can know that, generally speaking, ______.A. men are more generous than womenB. women are more generous than menC. men like their lady friends to be generous.D. women like their men friends to be generousPassage 2Parents have to do much less for their children today than they used to do，and home has become much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made; washing can go to the laundry; food can be bought，cooked，canned or preserved; bread is baked and delivered by the baker; milk arrives on the doorstep; meat can be had at the restaurant，the worker’s canteen，and the school dining-room.It is unusual now for father to pursue his trade or other employment at home，and his children rarely，if ever，see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their father’s occupation，and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money，and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out to work，but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now a not-unusual factor in a child’s home life，the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages，father is seldom the dominant figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works, economic advantages accrue，but children lose something of great value if mother’s employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school.16. The writer mentions home as workshop because______.A. fathers often pursue employment at homeB. parents had to make food and necessity themselves for their daily-lifeC. many families produce goods at home for saleD. both fathers and mothers in most families are workers17. The writer says that home has become much less of a workshop. He means______.A. in the past, home was more like a workshopB. home is much more of a workshop nowC. home-workshops are becoming fewer and fewerD. home was less like a workshop in the past18.The word “accrue”in the sentence“When mother...accrue，”is closest in meaning to ______.A. changeB. dwindleC. doubleD. increase19. The chief reason that boys are seldom trained to follow their father’s occupation is ______.A. that children nowadays rarely see their fathers at their place of workB. that fathers do not like to pursue employment at home any moreC. that there is a wide choice of employment for childrenD. that children also like to have jobs outside20. What makes father no longer the only dominant person in a family?A. With their earning，mother and children do not need to depend on father for their life.B. There are many choice of employment for mothers and children.C. Father does much less for his children today than he used to.D. The number of married women in employment has increased greatly now.Passage 3If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago，we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day，we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country，but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war．Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to Write．For example，we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4，000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them．But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa because they had not learned to write．Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write，they may know something of the past．They have heard about it from older people，and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings，and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations, for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past．This we may call ‘remembered history’．Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is，because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing．But where there are no written records，such spoken stories are often very helpful．21. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?A. “Remembered history”，compared with written history，is less reliable.B. Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history．C. A written account of our daily activities helps US to be able to answer many questions．D. Where there are no written records．there is no history．22．We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because _____.A. there was nothing worth being written down at that timeB. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a recordC. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fireD. the people there did not know how to write23．“Remembered history”refers to _____．A. his tory based on a person’s imaginationB. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC. songs and dances about the most important eventsD. both B and C24．“Remembered history”is regarded as valuable only when _____.A. it is written downB. no written account is availableC. it proves to be timeD. people are interested in it25 .The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than wedo now if the ancient people had _____A. kept a written record of every past eventB. not burnt their written records in warsC. told exact stories of the most important happeningsD. made more songs and dancesPassage 4Most people usually traveled by ship and train which are driven by steam engine. It played an important part in many kinds of vehicles several scores of years ago. Who invented steam engine and what units could be used to measure the power of engine？The word “horse-power” was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt from a worker’s family made the world first widely used steam engine. At first, he couldn’t tell people how powerful it was, because there were no units at that time. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He named that unit one horse-power. In this way he could measure the work of his steam engine.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a tenhorse-power engine.26. The main idea of the passage is ___.A. James Watt invented the steam engineB. James Watt first used horse-power as a unit of measureC. how much power does a horse haveD. why Watt’s engine is called a ten horse-power engine27. The story says that Watt made the first ____.A. engineB. horse-power engineC. useful engineD. widely used steam engine28. James Watt was born in ____.A. a worker’s familyB. a farmer’s familyC. a teacher’s familyD. a doctor’s steam engine29. Watt wanted to find a way to ____.A. measure the work his engine could doB. tell people how powerful his engine wasC. lift a 3300-pound weightD. both A and B30.

He left a great influence on popular music, and millions of fans. During his lifetime, Elvis sold more than four hundred million records. After Presley died, many of his records rose quickly. When Presley died,many mourners journeyed to Memphis, Tennessee, Presley's home, to pay their last respects. While most of these fans knew a lot about the songs of Elvis, few of them knew the story of how Elvis had his first record which was for his mother. He paid four dollars to a small Memphis recording shop, and recorded two songs. The songs were "My Happiness" and "That's Where Your Heartaches Begin". Sam Philips, who owned the shop where Elvis made the record, liked Presley's songs. He said he would call him some day. About a year later, Philips did call and ask him to cut a record. This first record had "Blue Moon of Kentucky"on one side, and "That's All Right, Mama"on the other.正确答案:第12题,Instructions:建议你在30分钟内，根据下面所给的题目和提纲用英语写出一篇不少于80词的短文。
