Part ⅡReading Comprehension (34%)Directions:There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. Read the passages carefully then choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D) or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Passage 1A few thousand years ago, people lived about thirty years. From their point of view, we have already extended our lives to an amazing degree. However, from wherewe stand today, we can see that we still have a long way to go. Some people still die in their 40’s from cancer, heart attack, stroke, and infections. This is tragic, and frustrating. Today’s medicine is only somewhat able to deal with these and other conditions—and it has scarcely started to attack the problem of aging. But we can see light at the end of the tunnel.Fifty years from now, what causes of death will be preventable? That depends largely on the technology we will have available, so let’s start by projecting some technology tendencies. Gene sequencing and identification will be as easy as a blood sugar test. Medical devices such as artificial hearts and insulin（胰岛素）pumps will be implantable and well-integrated with the body’s natural demands. Surgical instruments will be more delicate and less destructive; what today is ―major surgery‖will be done with an office visit. Computers will be millions of times faster than today’s machines. Last but not least, we will probably have the ability to build strong, useful, complex machines out of individual atoms. This is called ―nanotechnology‖（纳米技术）or simple ―nanotech‖, and it will make us healthier in several important ways.Can we expect technology to solve all our medical problems? With the following explanations, it will become clear that nanotech can solve most of the medical problems that might keep us from being in good health, thus allowing us to remain ina state of good health for many decades or even centuries.26. The last sentence in the first paragraph ―But we can see light at the end of thetunnel‖ probably means ―_________‖.A. Today’s machines can deal with the problem of agingB. We have a bright future in dealing with aging problemC. Our machines can not solve the problem of agingD. We still have a long way to go27. Which of the following is NOT the technology trend mentioned in this passage?A. Medical devices will be implantable.B. Surgical instruments will be more delicate and less destructive.C. Blood sugar test will be as easy as gene sequencing and identification.D. Nanotech will make us healthier in several important ways.Q1. According to the author, we still have a long way to go to __________________. Q2. It is tragic and frustrating that such diseases as _________________________ can only somewhat be treated by today’s doctors.Q3. One of the technology tendencies in the following 50 years is___________, which will be as easy as a blood test.Q4. With nanotechnology, we will be able to solve most of all the medical problems so that ____________________________________.Passage 2As more people live closer together, and as they use machines to produce leisure, they find that their leisure, and even their working hours, becomes spoilt by a by-product ( 副产品) of their machines – namely, noise. Noise is nowadays in thenews; it has acquired political status, and public opinion is demanding, more and more insistently, that something be done about it.To control noise is to demand much self-discipline (annoyance arises often from lack of common courtesy (礼貌)), a sense of proportion (there is usually a conflict of interest if a noise is to be stopped), the expenditure (花费) of money (and it is far more economical to do this early rather than late), and finally, technical knowledge.Technical difficulties often arise from the subjective-objective nature of the problem. You can define the excessive speed of a motorcar in terms of a pointer reading on a speedometer (里程计). But can you define excessive noise in the same way? You find that with any existing simple ―noisy-meter‖, vehicles, which are judged to be equally noisy, may show considerable difference on the meter.Though the ideal cure for noise is to stop it at its source, this may in many cases be impossible. The next remedy is to absorb it on its way to the ear.Domestic noises may perhaps be controlled by forethought (深谋远虑) and courtesy, and industrial noises by good planning and technical improvement. But if we are going to allow fast motorcycles and heavy lorries to pass continuously through residential (住宅的) and business districts, the community must decide on the control it needs to exercise, for in the long run it has got to pay for it. And if a nation is to take part in modern air transport, it must enter into international agreements on the noise control measures it will impose on its airports – and here the cost of any real control is to be measured in millions of dollars.28. In the 4th line of the 1st paragraph, the author says ―it has acquired political status‖.He means that _________.A. people know noise is related to leisure lifeB. noise is the by-product of machinesC. people are concerning about noises from leisure-bringing machinesD. people are spoiled by noise from their working places29. A sensible cure for noise is _________.A. to deal with it before it reaches the earB. to stop it at its sourceC. to pay for itD. impossible30. Which of the following statements is not true?A. Domestic noises can be controlled before they are given out.B. Noise control measures in airports cost highly.C. Industrial noises may be planned and reduced technologically.D. It is not something very important for heavy trucks to run through the businessdistricts.Passage 3To talk about problem-solving or decision-making within a national environment means examining many complex cultural forces. It means trying to measure the impact of these forces on contemporary life, and also coming to grips with changesnow taking place.It also means using dangerous comparisons, and the need to translate certain fundamental concepts which resist translation and comparisons.For example, the concept of vocational or professional identity differs markedly between the United States and Japan.In the West, the emphasis is on what a man, or a woman does for a living. Here in the U.S., if you ask what his father does, he will say ―My daddy drives a truck‖ or ―My daddy is a stock broker‖ or ―My daddy is an engineer.‖ But in Japan, the boy will tell you ―My daddy works for Mitsubish‖ or ―My daddy worked for Hitachi‖. But you will have no idea whether his father is the president of Hitachi or a chauffeur at Hitachi.In Japan, the most important thing is what organization you work for. This becomes very significant when you try to analyze the direction-taking or decision-making process. At least, it explains the greater job stability in Japan, in contrast to the great job mobility in America.While we differ in many ways, such differences are neither superior nor inferior to each other. A particular pattern of management behavior develops from a complexity of unique-cultural factors — and will only work within a given culture.31. What is the topic of the passage?A. The impact of complex cultural forces on contemporary life.B. American and Japanese patterns of management behavior.C. Differences of professional identity between America and Japan.D. Influence of cultural forces on problem-solving within a national environment.32. The passage tells us that _________.A. the Japanese decision-making process is superior to the American oneB. the American problem-solving process is inferior to the Japanese oneC.there is neither superiority nor inferiority between the American and theJapanese decision-making processD.the Japanese pattern of management behavior can also work very well withinAmerican culture33. The example given in the passage shows that _________.A. the American boy knew his father’s jobB. the Japanese boy did not know what his father didC. the Japanese boy did not want to tell people his father’s jobD. the concept of vocational identity is quite different between the two countries34. To talk about problem-solving within a national environment means all of thefollowing except _________.A. to define cultural forcesB. to interpret certain basic conceptsC. to deal seriously with changes taking placeD. to try to find out the influence of culture forces on people’s life35. According to the author, which of the following sentences is false?A. The Japanese loves their organization more than their American counterpart.B.In the west, people are very much concerned with what he or she does for aliving.C. In Japan, people are concerned with what organization he or she works for.D. Japanese job mobility is weaker than American one.Passage 4It is an inescapable fact that to most people there comes a time when failing powers of mind or body made it impossible for them to manage their daily lives without some sort of help, and despite the weakened sense of family solidarity(团结), this help comes in many cases from children, other relatives, or occasionally friends. When an old person or old couple gives up an independent home and becomes part of another household it does not mean that all the problems of old age are automatically solved; the problems are different, not so pressing perhaps, and their solution lies more with the younger relatives than with the older people themselves.Caring for the aged requires skill as well as goodwill. Much advice is now available for those caring for young children and babies, and there are numerous books to help mothers in bringing up their families, but as far as I know little has been written about the day-to-day care of old people. Fortunately the first essentials, sympathy and affection, are very often to be found, and will carry relatives, friends and old people a long way, but not the whole way; without these two virtues the work of caring for the old can be onerous(繁重的) and unrewarding.Probably the first thing for anyone to learn who has old people to care for is the need to allow them the freedom of action, to realize that their personality is still individual and that social significance is essential to happiness. It is all too easy to take the attitude that the old are past doing anything and to encourage resting and doing nothing. This is mistaken kindness, though it may be an easy way of satisfying the conscience compared with the more exacting way of continual encouragement to be active, to go out, to find worthwhile occupation. The latter course, however, is much more likely to promote happiness.36. To solve the problems of the old, _________.A.younger relatives should play a key roleB.old people should live with younger relativesC.old people should live in an independent homeD.younger relatives should visit the old occasionally37. Advice about bringing up families is mentioned in the second paragraph to showthat _________.A.there are not enough suggestions about caring for the oldB.goodwill and skill are required in caring for the oldC.it is easier to care for the young than the oldD.it is the first essential to care for the old38. Which of the following statements will the author probably agree with?A.It is mistaken kindness to encourage the old to look for a job.B.Young people are more concerned with social significance than the old.C.With failing powers of mind or body , the old should be encouraged to restD.Younger relatives often, but not always feel sympathy and affection for the old.39. Which of the following is closest in meani ng to the word ―pressing‖(Para. 1) ?A. automaticB. urgentC. essentialD. independent40. What is the best title for the passage?A.Personalities of the OldB.Problems of the OldC.Caring for the OldD.Housing of the OldP art ⅢVocabulary (10%)Directions:There are 20 incomplete sentences in this section.

2006年四川大学考博英语真题及详解Ⅰ. Reading Comprehension (30%, 1 mark each)Direction: There are 6 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of there are four choicesmarked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through thecenter.Passage 1Superstition is a biased word. Look up almost any dictionary definition and you will see that it implies that every religion not based on reason or knowledge is called a superstition. Even the word knowledge is a two-faced word. Presumably, it is used as a synonym for reason. What it all comes down to is that people designate as superstitious what they do not think reasonable in s omeone else’s religion.It is true that a person’s religion must be based on some kind of-knowledge. But what kind of knowledge is meant? Scientific, experimental, rational? Such knowledge is natural and maybe ethical and then it is natural religious knowledge.A person may quite easily conclude from observing the universe that only God could have produced it. That knowledge is not religion, not even if a person is bound to recognize a creator of the universe. It is natural knowledge such asConfucius, Socrates or Zoroaster possessed. Natural religious knowledge, as is evident in the history of the human race, although it helps to make a man good, hardly suffices to keep him good, especially in times of crisis. Will such natural knowledge, for instance, sustain a man when he has suddenly lost all his money and even his wife and children? Will it offer the hope of ever seeing them again? Will it influence him gladly to sacrifice his life for his family, his country, his religion? Only a strong sense of supernatural religion, a reliance upon God, will provide the necessary courage for right action.All the great religions of the world—Christianity, Hinduism, Chinese Buddhism and Islam—have shown men the way to such courage and its resulting peace of mind and heart and peace with all men. They point to a better sort of lift, mostly a life somewhere else, or, at least, an end to the troubles of this life.Christianity and Islam direct men to look up, hope for and strive after an eternal life of happiness in the possession of God. Hinduism also encourages its adherents to achieve successively higher incarnations until they achieve unity, become one with Brahman - God. The agnostic or the atheist thinks of all of these creeds as religious superstition. Are the agnostic and the atheist free of superstition? Hardly. Every thinking man has a natural bent for religion, for ideals above and beyond earthly ones. If he crushes his natural inclination, which is God-inspired ideals, he most likely will substitute a series of self-inspired ideals or some fad like astrology, which will become a religion for him. There is a line between religion and superstition which everyone must learn to identify, or forfeit a true direction in hislife.1. According to the passage, people define superstition as ______.A. some religious knowledge not based on reasonB. anything that seems unreasonable to themC. anything that seems unreasonable in another person’s religionD. any natural knowledge of a religion that is two-faced and totally different from another2. The second paragraph tells us that natural religious knowledge can hardly keep a person good because ______.A. he is not always willing to sacrifice himselfB. he does not rely upon GodC. he may sometimes die for right actionD. he may suffer crisis in his career3. According to the author, all the great religions of the world ______.A. bring peace of mind and peace with other human beingB. put forth a better life now and promise eternal life in the Western ParadiseC. give courage to their adherents to live and to die peacefullyD. urge their adherents to achieve higher incarnations4. From the passage we are told that the atheists ______.A. have little or no religious knowledgeB. have ideals that are beyond earthly onesC. are mostly astrologers who have too many materialistic ideals in lifeD. are actually not free from superstition5. Of the following suggested title, the one that most accurately sums up thepassage is ______.A. The Great Religions on EarthB. What Is SuperstitionC. Religion and SuperstitionD. Achieve Unity with God【答案与解析】1.C 文中第一段结尾部分，作者对superstition做了诠释：people designate assuperstitious what they do not think reasonable in someone else’s religion “人们认为在其他宗教中讲不通的就是迷信”，选项C正确。

西南交通大学2006—2007学年第（1）学期考试试卷课程：英语I A卷College English Test(CET 05-3F)(Form A)Class __________ Name _____________ Student Number _______ Part ⅡReading Comprehension (34%)Directions:There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. Read the passages carefully then choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D) or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Passage 1A few thousand years ago, people lived about thirty years. From their point of view, we have already extended our lives to an amazing degree. However, from where we stand today, we can see that we still have a long way to go. Some people still die in their40’s from cancer, heart attack, stroke, and infections. This is tragic, and frustrating. Today’s medicine is only somewhat able to deal with these and other conditions—and it has scarcely started to attack the problem of aging. But we can see light at the end of the tunnel.Fifty years from now, what causes of death will be preventable? That depends largely on the technology we will have available, so let’s start by projecting some technology tendencies. Gene sequencing and identification will be as easy as a blood sugar test. Medical devices such as artificial hearts and insulin（胰岛素）pumps will be implantable and well-integrated with the body’s natural demands. Surgical instruments will be more delicate and less destructive; what today is “major surgery”will be done with an office visit. Computers will be millions of times faster than today’s machines. Last but not least, we will probably have the ability to build strong, useful, complex machines out of individual atoms. This is called “nanotechnology”（纳米技术）or simple “nanotech”, and it will make us healthier in several important ways.Can we expect technology to solve all our medical problems? With the following explanations, it will become clear that nanotech can solve most of the medical problems that might keep us from being in good health, thus allowing us to remain in a state of good health for many decades or even centuries.26. The last sentence in the first paragraph “But we can see light at the end of thetunnel” probably means “_________”.A. Today’s machines can deal with the problem of agingB. We have a bright future in dealing with aging problemC. Our machines can not solve the problem of agingD. We still have a long way to go27. Which of the following is NOT the technology trend mentioned in this passage?A. Medical devices will be implantable.B. Surgical instruments will be more delicate and less destructive.C. Blood sugar test will be as easy as gene sequencing and identification.D. Nanotech will make us healthier in several important ways.Q1. According to the author, we still have a long way to go to __________________. Q2. It is tragic and frustrating that such diseases as _________________________ can only somewhat be treated by today’s doctors.Q3. One of the technology tendencies in the following 50 years is___________, which will be as easy as a blood test.Q4. With nanotechnology, we will be able to solve most of all the medical problems so that ____________________________________.Passage 2As more people live closer together, and as they use machines to produce leisure, they find that their leisure, and even their working hours, becomes spoilt by a by-product ( 副产品) of their machines – namely, noise. Noise is nowadays in the news; it has acquired political status, and public opinion is demanding, more and more insistently, that something be done about it.To control noise is to demand much self-discipline (annoyance arises often from lack of common courtesy (礼貌)), a sense of proportion (there is usually a conflict of interest if a noise is to be stopped), the expenditure (花费) of money (and it is far more economical to do this early rather than late), and finally, technical knowledge.Technical difficulties often arise from the subjective-objective nature of the problem. You can define the excessive speed of a motorcar in terms of a pointer reading on a speedometer (里程计). But can you define excessive noise in the same way? You find that with any existing simple “noisy-meter”, vehicles, which are judged to be equally noisy, may show considerable difference on the meter.Though the ideal cure for noise is to stop it at its source, this may in many cases be impossible. The next remedy is to absorb it on its way to the ear.Domestic noises may perhaps be controlled by forethought (深谋远虑) and courtesy, and industrial noises by good planning and technical improvement. But if we are going to allow fast motorcycles and heavy lorries to pass continuously through residential (住宅的) and business districts, the community must decide on the control it needs to exercise, for in the long run it has got to pay for it. And if a nation is to take part in modern air transport, it must enter into international agreements on the noise control measures it will impose on its airports – and here the cost of any real control is to be measured in millions of dollars.28. In the 4th line of the 1st paragraph, the author says “it has acquired political status”.He means that _________.A. people know noise is related to leisurelifeB. noise is the by-product of machinesC. people are concerning about noises from leisure-bringing machinesD. people are spoiled by noise from their working places29. A sensible cure for noise is _________.A. to deal with it before it reaches the earB. to stop it at its sourceC. to pay for itD. impossible30. Which of the following statements is not true?A. Domestic noises can be controlled before they are given out.B. Noise control measures in airports cost highly.C. Industrial noises may be planned and reduced technologically.D. It is not something very important for heavy trucks to run through the businessdistricts.Passage 3To talk about problem-solving or decision-making within a national environment means examining many complex cultural forces. It means trying to measure the impact of these forces on contemporary life, and also coming to grips with changes now taking place.It also means using dangerous comparisons, and the need to translate certain fundamental concepts which resist translation and comparisons.For example, the concept of vocational or professional identity differs markedly between the United States and Japan.In the West, the emphasis is on what a man, or a woman does for a living. Here in the U.S., if you ask what his father does, he will say “My daddy drives a truck” or “My daddy is a stock broker” or “My daddy is an engineer.” But in Japan, the boy will tell you “My daddy works for Mitsubish” or “My daddy worked for Hitachi”. But you will have no idea whether his father is the president of Hitachi or a chauffeur at Hitachi.In Japan, the most important thing is what organization you work for. This becomes very significant when you try to analyze the direction-taking or decision-making process. At least, it explains the greater job stability in Japan, in contrast to the great job mobility in America.While we differ in many ways, such differences are neither superior nor inferior to each other. A particular pattern of management behavior develops from a complexity of unique-cultural factors—and will only work within a given culture.31. What is the topic of the passage?A. Theimpact of complex cultural forces on contemporary life.B. American and Japanese patterns of management behavior.C. Differences of professional identity between America and Japan.D. Influence of cultural forces on problem-solving within a national environment.32. The passage tells us that _________.A. the Japanese decision-making process is superior to the American oneB. the American problem-solving process is inferior to the Japanese oneC.there is neither superiority nor inferiority between the American and theJapanese decision-making processD.the Japanese pattern of management behavior can also work very well withinAmerican culture33. The example given in the passage shows that _________.A. the American boy knew his father’s jobB. the Japanese boy did not know what his father didC. the Japanese boy did not want to tell people his father’s jobD. the concept of vocational identity is quite different between the two countries34. To talk about problem-solving within a national environment means all of thefollowing except _________.A. to define cultural forcesB. to interpret certain basic conceptsC. to deal seriously with changes taking placeD. to try to find out the influence of culture forces on people’s life35. According to the author, which of the following sentences is false?A. The Japanese loves their organization more than their American counterpart.B.In the west, people are very much concerned with what he or she does for aliving.C. In Japan, people are concerned with what organization he or she works for.D. Japanese job mobility is weaker than American one.Passage 4It is an inescapable fact that to most people there comes a time when failing powers of mind or body made it impossible for them to manage their daily lives without some sort of help, and despite the weakened sense of family solidarity(团结), this help comes in many cases from children,other relatives, or occasionally friends. When an old person or old couple gives up an independent home and becomes part of another household it does not mean that all the problems of old age are automatically solved; the problems are different, not so pressing perhaps, and their solution lies more with the younger relatives than with the older people themselves.Caring for the aged requires skill as well as goodwill. Much advice is now available for those caring for young children and babies, and there are numerous books to help mothers in bringing up their families, but as far as I know little has been written about the day-to-day care of old people. Fortunately the first essentials, sympathy and affection, are very often to be found, and will carry relatives, friends and old people a long way, but not the whole way; without these two virtues the work of caring for the old can be onerous(繁重的) and unrewarding.Probably the first thing for anyone to learn who has old people to care for is the need to allow them the freedom of action, to realize that their personality is still individual and that social significance is essential to happiness. It is all too easy to take the attitude that the old are past doing anything and to encourage resting and doing nothing. This is mistaken kindness, though it may be an easy way of satisfying the conscience compared with the more exacting way of continual encouragement to be active, to go out, to find worthwhile occupation. The latter course, however, is much more likely to promote happiness.36. To solve the problems of the old, _________.A.younger relatives should play a key roleB.old people should live with younger relativesC.old people should live in an independent homeD.younger relatives should visit the old occasionally37. Advice about bringing up families is mentioned in the second paragraph to showthat _________.A.there are not enough suggestions about caring for the oldB.goodwill and skill are required in caring for the oldC.it is easier to care for the young than the oldD.it is the first essential to care for the old38. Which of the following statements will the author probably agree with?A.It is mistaken kindness to encourage the old to look for a job.B.Young people are more concerned with social significance than the old.C.With failing powers of mind or body , the old should be encouraged to restD.Younger relatives often, but not always feel sympathy and affection for the old.39. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “pressing”(Para. 1) ?A. automaticB. urgentC. essentialD. independent40. What is the best title for the passage?A.Personalities of the OldB.Problems of the OldC.Caring for the OldD.Housing of the OldP art ⅢVocabulary (10%)Directions:There are 20 incomplete sentences in this section.

After each passage, there are five questions for you to answer, please mark your answers on your answer sheet.Passage OneIt is said that in England death is pressing, in Canada inevitable and in California optional Small wonder. Americans’ life expectancy has nearly doubled over the past century. Failing hips can be replaced, clinical depression controlled, cataracts removed in a 30-minutes surgical procedure. Such advances offer the aging population a quality of life that was unimaginable when I entered medicine 50 years ago. But not even a great health-care system can cure death-and our failure to confront that reality now threatens this greatness of ours.Death is normal; we are genetically programmed to disintegrate and perish, even under ideal conditions. We all understand that at some level, yet as medical consumers we treat death as a problem to be solved. Shielded by third-party payers from the cost of our care, we demand everything that can possibly be done for us, even if it’s useless. The most obvious example is late-stage cancer care. Physicians-frustrated by their inability to cure the disease and fearing loss of hope in the patient-too often offer aggressive treatment far beyond what is scientifically justified.In1950, the U.S. spent $12.7 billion on health care. In 2002, the cost will be $1540 billion. Anyone can see this trend is unsustainable. Yet few seem willing to try to reverse it. Some scholars conclude that a government with finite resources should simply stop paying for medical care that sustains life beyond a certain age-say 83 or so. Former Colorado governor Richard Lamm has been quoted as saying that the old and infirm "have a duty to die and get out of the way", so that younger, healthier people can realize their potential.I would not go that far. Energetic people now routinely work through their 60s and beyond, and remain dazzlingly productive. At 78, Viacom, Chairman Sumner Redstone, jokingly claims to be 53. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor is in her 70s, and former surgeon general C. Everett Koop chairs an Internet start-up in his 80s.These leaders are living proof that prevention works and that we can manage the health problems that come naturally with age. As a mere 68-year-old, I wish to age as productively as they have.Yet there are limits to what a society can spend in this pursuit. Ask a physician, I know the most costly and dramatic measures may be ineffective and painful. I also know that people in Japan and Sweden, countries that spend far less on medical care, have achieved longer, healthier lives than we have. As a nation, we may be overfunding the quest for unlikely cures while underfunding research on humbler therapies that could improve people’s lives.41. What is implied in the first sentence?A. Americans are better prepared for death than other people.B. Americans enjoy a higher life quality than ever before.C. Americans are over-confident of their medical technology.D. Americans take a vain pride in their long life expectancy.42. The author uses the example of caner patients to show that ________.A. medical resources are often wasted.B. doctors are helpless against fatal diseases.C. some treatments are too aggressive.D. medical costs are becoming unaffordable.43. The author’s attitude toward Richard Lamm’s remark is one of __________.A. strong disapproval.B. reserved consent.C. slight contempt.D. enthusiastic support.44. In contras to the U.S., Japan and Sweden are funding their medical care ___________.A. more flexibly.B. more extravagantly.C .more cautiously. D. more reasonably.45. The text intends to express the idea that ___________.A medicine will further prolong people’s lives.B. life beyond a certain limit is not worth living.C. death should be accepted as a fact of life.D. excessive demands increase the cost of health care.Passage TwoOne of the most authoritative voices speaking to us today is of course the voice of the advertisers. Its strident clamor dominates our lives. It shouts at us form the television screen and the radio loudspeakers; waves to us from every page of the newspaper; plucks at our sleeves on the escalator; signals to us from the roadside billboards all day and flashes messages to us in colored lights all night. It has forced on us a whole new conception of the successful man as a man no less than 20% of whose mail consists of announcements of giant carpet sales.Advertising has been among England’s biggest growth industries since the war, in terms of the ratio of money earnings to demonstrable achievement. Why all this fantastic expenditure?Perhaps the answer is that advertising saves the manufacturers from having to think about the customer. At the stage of designing and developing a product, there is quite enough to think about without worrying over whether anybody will want to buy is. The designer is busy enough without adding customer—appeal to all his other problems of man—hours and machine tolerances and stress factors. So they just go ahead and make the thing and leave it to the advertiser to find eleven ways of making it appeal to purchasers after they have finished it, by pretending that it confers status, or attracts love, or signifies manliness. If the advertising agency can do this authoritatively enough, the manufacturer is in clover.Other manufacturers find advertising saves them changing their product. And manufacturershate change. The ideal product is one which goes on unchanged for ever. If, therefore, for one reason or another, some alteration seems called for—how much better to change the image, the packer or the pitch made by the product, rather than go to all the inconvenience of changing the product itself.The advertising man has to combine. The great skill required of all, is the skill of getting people to believe in and contribute money to something which can never be logically proved. At the Bar, an essential ability is that of presenting the most persuasive case you can to a jury of ordinary people, with emotional appeals masquerading as logical exposition; a case you do not necessarily have to believe in Medicine, any doctor will confirm that a large part of his job is not clinical treatment but faith healing. His apparently scientific approach enables his patients to believe right, just as advertising does—“Run down? You need,”“No one will dance with you? A dab of ... will make you popular.”Advertising men use statistics rather like a drunk uses a lamp-post-for support rater than illumination. They will dress anyone up in a white coat to appear like an unimpeachable authority or, failing that, they will even be happy with the announcement, “As used by 90% of the actors who play doctors on television.” Their engaging quality is that they enjoy having their latest ruses uncovered almost as much as anyone else.46. According to the passage modem advertising is “authoritative” because of the way it _______.A. influences our image of the kind of person we ought to be likeB. interferes with the privacy of home lifeC. continually forces us into buying thingsD. distracts us no matter where we travel47. The forms of advertising mentioned in the first paragraph would have least impact ________.A. in the rush hoursB. during working hoursC. before working hoursD. after working hours48. According to the passage customers are attracted to a product because it appears to ________.A, have a sufficiently attractive-design B. offer good value for moneyC. fulfill the manufacturer’s claimsD. satisfy their personal needs49. The advertising man is said to share with the Church, the bar, and Medicine, the ability to_________.A. convince people of the truthB. win people’s confidenceC. accept people’s prejudicesD. exploit people’s fears50. The advertisers’ attitude is based on the hope that consumers ___________.A. know deep down what they really wantB. are interested in what is being designedC. are indifferent to what is being advertisedD. are uncritical and easily influencedPassage ThreeHuman wants seem endless. When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure boats dance into view.The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.The first and most basic leve1 of wants involves food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late] 950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the "life-enriching" level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction-the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body-this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called "luxury" items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and entertainment. Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.On the fourth level, a greater percentage of consumers’ spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increased, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.51. According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothingonly when _________.A. he has saved up enough moneyB. he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelterC. he has satisfied his hungerD. he has learned to build houses52. It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II most AmericansA. were very richB. lived in povertyC. had the good things on the first three levelsD. didn’t own automobiles53. Which of the following is NOT related to “physical satisfaction”?A. A successful career.B. A cozy home.C. A good service.D. A family car.54. What is the main concern of man on the fourth leve1?A. The more goods the better.B. The more mental satisfaction the better.C. The more luxury items the better.D. The more earnings the better.55. The author is inclined to think that a fifth level _________.A. would be a little better than the fourth levelB. may be a lot more desirable than the first fourC. can be the last and most satisfying level’D. will become attainable provided the government takes actionsPassage Four“High tech” and “state of the art” are two expressions that describe very modern technology. High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any invention, system or device that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of science and engineering.What is high tech? A computer is high tech. So is a communications satellite. A modern manufacturing system is surely high tech.High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early 1980s. Because of improvement in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers, microwave ovens, etc.“State of the art” is something that is as modem as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest methods and technology. Something that is “state of the art”is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry. A state of the art television set, for example, uses the most modem electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy.“State of the art” is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years to describe the best and most modern way of doing something.Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1970s. The reason was the computer revolution. Every computer company claimed that its products were “state of the art”.Computer technology changed so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow. The expression “state of the art”became as common and popular as computers themselves. Now all kinds of products are said to be “state of the art”.56. What is the purpose of the passage?A to tell how "high tech" and "state of the art" have developedB to give examples of high techC to tell what "high tech" and "state of the art" areD to describe very modern technology57. What can we infer from the passage?A American stores could provide new kinds of the products to the people.B High tech describes a technology that is not traditional.C “State of the art” is not as popular as “high tech”.D A wooden plough pulled by oxen is “state of the art”.58. All the following examples are high tech EXCEPT__________.A a microwave ovenB a home computerC a hand pumpD a satellite59. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A Since the computer revolution, the expression “state of the art” has become popular.B “State of the art” means something that is the best one can buy.C With the rapid development of computer technology, state of the art computer may easilybecome out of dateD All kinds of products are “state of the art” nowadays.60.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1.(40points)Text1In spite of“endless talk of difference,”American society is an amazing machine for homogenizing people. There is“the democratizing uniformity of dress and discourse,and the casualness and absence of deference”characteristic of popular culture.People are absorbed into“a culture of consumption”launched by the19th-century department stores that offered“vast arrays of goods in an elegant atmosphere.Instead of intimate shops catering to a knowledgeable elite”these were stores“anyone could enter,regardless of class or background.This turned shopping into a public and democratic act.”The mass media,advertising and sports are other forces for homogenization.Immigrants are quickly fitting into this common culture,which may not be altogether elevating but is hardly poisonous.Writing for the National Immigration Forum,Gregory Rodriguez reports that today’s immigration isneither at unprecedented levels nor resistant to assimilation.In1998immigrants were9.8percent of the population;in1900,13.6percent.In the10years prior to1990,3.1immigrants arrived for every1,000residents; in the10years prior to1890,9.2for every1,000.Now,consider three indices of assimilation—language,home ownership and intermarriage.The1990Census revealed that“a majority of immigrants from each of the fifteen most common countries of origin spoke English‘well’or‘very well’after ten years of residence.”The children of immigrants tend to be bilingual and proficient in English.“By the third generation,the original language is lost in the majority of immigrant families.”Hence the description of America as a“graveyard”for languages.By1996foreign-born immigrants who had arrived before1970had a home ownership rate of75.6percent,higher than the69.8percent rate among native-born Americans.Foreign-born Asians and Hispanics“have higher rates of intermarriage than do U.S.-born whites and blacks.”By the third generation,one third of Hispanic women are married to non-Hispanics,and41percent of Asian-American women are married to non-Asians.Rodriguez notes that children in remote villages around the world are fans of superstars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks,yet“some Americans fear that immigrants living within the United States remain somehow immune to the nation’s assimilative power.”Are there divisive issues and pockets of seething anger in America?Indeed.It is big enough to have a bit of everything.But particularly when viewed against America’s turbulent past,today’s social indices hardly suggest a dark and deteriorating social environment.21.The word“homogenizing”(Line2,Paragraph1)most probably means________.[A]identifying[B]associating[C]assimilating[D]monopolizing22.According to the author,the department stores of the19th century________.[A]played a role in the spread of popular culture[B]became intimate shops for common consumers[C]satisfied the needs of a knowledgeable elite[D]owed its emergence to the culture of consumption23.The text suggests that immigrants now in the U.S.________.[A]are resistant to homogenization[B]exert a great influence on American culture[C]are hardly a threat to the common culture[D]constitute the majority of the population24.Why are Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks mentioned in Paragraph5?[A]To prove their popularity around the world.[B]To reveal the public’s fear of immigrants.[C]To give examples of successful immigrants.[D]To show the powerful influence of American culture.25.In the author’s opinion,the absorption of immigrants into American society is_______.[A]rewarding[B]successful[C]fruitless[D]harmfulText2Stratford-on-Avon,as we all know,has only one industry—William Shakespeare—but there are two distinctly separate and increasingly hostile branches.There is the Royal Shakespeare Company(RSC),which presents superb productions of the plays at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre on the Avon.And there are the townsfolk who largely live off the tourists who come,not to see the plays,but to look at Anne Hathaway’s Cottage,Shakespeare’s birthplace and the other sights.The worthy residents of Stratford doubt that the theatre adds a penny totheir revenue.They frankly dislike the RSC’s actors,them with their long hair and beards and sandals and noisiness.It’s all deliciously ironic when you consider that Shakespeare,who earns their living,was himself an actor(with a beard)and did his share of noise-making.The tourist streams are not entirely separate.The sightseers who come by bus—and often take in Warwick Castle and Blenheim Palace on the side—don’t usually see the plays,and some of them are even surprised to find a theatre in Stratford.However,the playgoers do manage a little sight-seeing along with their playgoing.It is the playgoers,the RSC contends,who bring in much of the town’s revenue because they spend the night(some of them four or five nights)pouring cash into the hotels and restaurants.The sightseers can take in everything and get out of town by nightfall.The townsfolk don’t see it this way and the local council does not contribute directly to the subsidy of the Royal Shakespeare Company.Stratford cries poor traditionally.Nevertheless every hotel in town seems to beadding a new wing or cocktail lounge.Hilton is building its own hotel there,which you may be sure will be decorated with Hamlet Hamburger Bars,the Lear Lounge,the Banquo Banqueting Room,and so forth,and will be very expensive.Anyway,the townsfolk can’t understand why the Royal Shakespeare Company needs a subsidy.(The theatre has broken attendance records for three years in a st year its1,431seats were94per cent occupied all year long and this year they’ll do better.)The reason,of course,is that costs have rocketed and ticket prices have stayed low.It would be a shame to raise prices too much because it would drive away the young people who are Stratford’s most attractive clientele.They come entirely for the plays,not the sights.They all seem to look alike (though they come from all over)—lean,pointed,dedicated faces,wearing jeans and sandals,eating their buns and bedding down for the night on the flagstones outside the theatre to buy the20seats and80standing-room tickets held for the sleepers and sold to them when the box office opens at10:30a.m.26.From the first two paragraphs,we learn that________.[A]the townsfolk deny the RSC’s contribution to the town’s revenue[B]the actors of the RSC imitate Shakespeare on and off stage[C]the two branches of the RSC are not on good terms[D]the townsfolk earn little from tourism27.It can be inferred from Paragraph3that________.[A]the sightseers cannot visit the Castle and the Palace separately[B]the playgoers spend more money than the sightseers[C]the sightseers do more shopping than the playgoers[D]the playgoers go to no other places in town than the theater28.By saying“Stratford cries poor traditionally”(Line2,Paragraph4),the author implies that______.[A]Stratford cannot afford the expansion projects[B]Stratford has long been in financial difficulties[C]the town is not really short of money[D]the townsfolk used to be poorly paid29.According to the townsfolk,the RSC deserves no subsidy because________.[A]ticket prices can be raised to cover the spending[B]the company is financially ill-managed[C]the behavior of the actors is not socially acceptable[D]the theatre attendance is on the rise30.From the text we can conclude that the author________.[A]is supportive of both sides[B]favors the townsfolk’s view[C]takes a detached attitude[D]is sympathetic to the RSCText3When prehistoric man arrived in new parts of the world,something strange happened to the large animals: they suddenly became extinct.Smaller species survived.The large,slow-growing animals were easy game,and were quickly hunted to extinction.Now something similar could be happening in the oceans.That the seas are being overfished has been known for years.What researchers such as Ransom Myers and Boris Worm have shown is just how fast things are changing.They have looked at half a century of data from fisheries around the world.Their methods do not attempt to estimate the actual biomass(the amount of living biological matter)of fish species in particular parts of the ocean,but rather changes in that biomass over time. According to their latest paper published in Nature,the biomass of large predators(animals that kill and eat other animals)in a new fishery is reduced on average by80%within15years of the start of exploitation.In some long-fished areas,it has halved again since then.Dr.Worm acknowledges that these figures are conservative.One reason for this is that fishing technology has improved.Today’s vessels can find their prey using satellites and sonar,which were not available50years ago.That means a higher proportion of what is in the sea is being caught,so the real difference between present and past is likely to be worse than the one recorded by changes in catch sizes.In the early days,too,longlines would have been more saturated with fish.Some individuals would therefore not have been caught,since no baited hooks would have been available to trap them,leading to an underestimate of fish stocks in the past. Furthermore,in the early days of longline fishing,a lot of fish were lost to sharks after they had been hooked. That is no longer a problem,because there are fewer sharks around now.Dr.Myers and Dr.Worm argue that their work gives a correct baseline,which future management efforts must take into account.They believe the data support an idea current among marine biologists,that of the “shifting baseline”.The notion is that people have failed to detect the massive changes which have happened in the ocean because they have been looking back only a relatively short time into the past.That matters because theory suggests that the maximum sustainable yield that can be cropped from a fishery comes when the biomassof a target species is about50%of its original levels.Most fisheries are well below that,which is a bad way to do business.31.The extinction of large prehistoric animals is noted to suggest that________.[A]large animals were vulnerable to the changing environment[B]small species survived as large animals disappeared[C]large sea animals may face the same threat today[D]slow-growing fish outlive fast-growing ones32.We can infer from Dr.Myers and Dr.Worm’s paper that________.[A]the stock of large predators in some old fisheries has reduced by90%[B]there are only half as many fisheries as there were15years ago[C]the catch sizes in new fisheries are only20%of the original amount[D]the number of large predators dropped faster in new fisheries than in the old33.By saying“these figures are conservative”(Line1,paragraph3),Dr.Worm means that________.[A]fishing technology has improved rapidly[B]then catch-sizes are actually smaller than recorded[C]the marine biomass has suffered a greater loss[D]the data collected so far are out of date34.Dr.Myers and other researchers hold that________.[A]people should look for a baseline that can work for a longer time[B]fisheries should keep their yields below50%of the biomass[C]the ocean biomass should be restored to its original level[D]people should adjust the fishing baseline to the changing situation35.The author seems to be mainly concerned with most fisheries’________.[A]management efficiency[B]biomass level[C]catch-size limits[D]technological applicationText4Many things make people think artists are weird.But the weirdest may be this:artists’only job is to explore emotions,and yet they choose to focus on the ones that feel bad.This wasn’t always so.The earliest forms of art,like painting and music,are those best suited for expressing joy.But somewhere from the19th century onward,more artists began seeing happiness as meaningless,phony or,worst of all,boring,as we went from Wordsworth’s daffodils to Baudelaire’s flowers of evil.You could argue that art became more skeptical of happiness because modern times have seen so much misery.But it’s not as if earlier times didn’t know perpetual war,disaster and the massacre of innocents.The reason,in fact,may be just the opposite:there is too much damn happiness in the world today.After all,what is the one modern form of expression almost completely dedicated to depicting happiness? Advertising.The rise of anti-happy art almost exactly tracks the emergence of mass media,and with it,a commercial culture in which happiness is not just an ideal but an ideology.People in earlier eras were surrounded by reminders of misery.They worked until exhausted,lived with few protections and died young.In the West,before mass communication and literacy,the most powerful mass medium was the church,which reminded worshippers that their souls were in danger and that they would someday be meat for worms.Given all this,they did not exactly need their art to be a bummer too.Today the messages the average Westerner is surrounded with are not religious but commercial,and forever happy.Fast-food eaters,news anchors,text messengers,all smiling,smiling,smiling.Our magazines feature beaming celebrities and happy families in perfect homes.And since these messages have an agenda—to lure us to open our wallets—they make the very idea of happiness seem unreliable.“Celebrate!”commanded the ads for the arthritis drug Celebrex,before we found out it could increase the risk of heart attacks.But what we forget—what our economy depends on us forgetting—is that happiness is more than pleasure without pain.The things that bring the greatest joy carry the greatest potential for loss and disappointment.Today, surrounded by promises of easy happiness,we need art to tell us,as religion once did,Memento mori:remember that you will die,that everything ends,and that happiness comes not in denying this but in living with it.It’s a message even more bitter than a clove cigarette,yet,somehow,a breath of fresh air.36.By citing the examples of poets Wordsworth and Baudelaire,the author intends to show that________.[A]poetry is not as expressive of joy as painting or music[B]art grows out of both positive and negative feelings[C]poets today are less skeptical of happiness[D]artists have changed their focus of interest37.The word“bummer”(Line5,paragraph5)most probably means something________.[A]religious[B]unpleasant[C]entertaining[D]commercial38.In the author’s opinion,advertising________.[A]emerges in the wake of the anti-happy art[B]is a cause of disappointment for the general public[C]replace the church as a major source of information[D]creates an illusion of happiness rather than happiness itself39.We can learn from the last paragraph that the author believes________.[A]happiness more often than not ends in sadness[B]the anti-happy art is distasteful but refreshing[C]misery should be enjoyed rather than denied[D]the anti-happy art flourishes when economy booms40.Which of the following is true of the text?[A]Religion once functioned as a reminder of misery.[B]Art provides a balance between expectation and reality.[C]People feel disappointed at the realities of modern society.[D]Mass media are inclined to cover disasters and deaths.Part BDirections:In the following article,some sentences have been removed.For Questions41-45,choose the most

river sits Evansville,Ind.,home of David Williams,52,and of a riverboat casino(a place where gambling games are played).During several years of gambling in that casino,Williams,a state auditor earning$35,000a year,lost approximately$175,000.He had never gambled before the casino sent him a coupon for$20worth of gambling.He visited the casino,lost the$20and left.On his second visit he lost$800.The casino issued to him,as a good customer,a“Fun Card”,which when used in the casino earns points for meals and drinks,and enables thecasino to track the user’s gambling activities.For Williams,these activities become what he calls“electronic heroin”.(41)________.In1997he lost$21,000to one slot machine in two days.In March1997he lost$72,186.He sometimes played two slot machines at a time,all night,until the boat docked at5a.m.,then went back aboard when the casino opened at9a.m.Now he is suing the casino,charging that it should have refused his patronage because it knew he was addicted.It did know he had a problem.In March1998a friend of Williams’s got him involuntarily confined to a treatment center for addictions, and wrote to inform the casino of Williams’s gambling problem.The casino included a photo of Williams among those of banned gamblers,and wrote to him a“cease admissions”letter.Noting the“medical/psychological”nature of problem gambling behavior,the letter said that before being readmitted to the casino he would have to present medical/psychological information demonstrating that patronizing the casino would pose no threat to his safety or well-being.(42)________.The Wall Street Journal reports that the casino has24signs warning:“Enjoy the fun...and always bet with your head,not over it.”Every entrance ticket lists a toll-free number for counseling from the Indiana Department of Mental Health.Nevertheless,Williams’s suit charges that the casino,knowing he was“helplessly addicted to gambling,”intentionally worked to“lure”him to“engage in conduct against his will.”Well.(43)________.The fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders says“pathological gambling”involves persistent,recurring and

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked with A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Mr. Perkin stood at the bus-stop and watched the cars go by. Many of the cars were new Beta 400s, and most of them were yellow. Mr. Perkin always wore the same clothes as other men, ate the same food as other people, and did the same things after work, and at the end of the week, Mr. Perkin did not like to be different.The following week, Mr. Perkin bought a new, bright yellow Beta 400s. He was satisfied with it, and drove to work in it the very next day. He was even more satisfied with his new car, when he saw all the other Beta 400s, in front, behind, and on both sides of him.Mr. Perkin parked(停车) his car in a big car-park(停车场) near his office, and walked the rest of the way. But when he came back at five o'clock, there were so many bright yellow Beta 400s in the car-park that he did not know which car was his. He tried his keyin some of the cars, but people passing by gave him a look he didn't like. So he stopped.Poor Mr. Perkin had to wait nearly two hours until his was the only yellow Beta 400s in the car-park.21. Mr. Perkin wanted a new yellow Beta 400s because ________A) the bus did not come.B) he liked new clothes, food and cars.C) he liked to do the same as other people.D) he liked to be different from others.22. At five o'clock Mr. Perkin _________A) walked home.B) drove his car out of the car-park.C) came back to the car-park.D) did not know which was his car-park.23. People gave him a look because ________A) he had a nice new car.B) he could not open the door of his car.C) he was in the wrong car-park.D) he was trying to open more than one car.24. Mr. Perkin had to wait untilA) there was only one yellow Beta 400s in the car-park.B) there was only one car in the car-park.C) there were no bright yellow cars in the car-park.D) there was no one about to look at him.Passage 2“It hurts me more than you,” and “This is for your own good.” These are the statements my mother used to make yea rs ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school.The schools and the educators made it easy on us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we have made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students “so passive” and wonders what happened. Nothing was demanded of them, she believes. Television contributes to children?s passivity. “We?re not training kids to work any more,” says Klompus. “We?re talking about a generation of kids who have never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying …go look it up?, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It?s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It is time to take the car away, to turn off the TV, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it?s for their own good. It?s time to start telling them no again.25. To such children as described in the passage .A. it is easier to say no than to say yesB. neither is easy to say yes or to say noC. it is easier to say yes than to say noD. neither is difficult to say yes or to say no26. We learn from the passage that the author?s mother usedto lay emphasison .A. learning LatinB. natural developmentC. disciplineD. education at school27. By “permissive period in education” the author meansa time .A. when children are allowed to do what they wish toB. when everything can be taught at schoolC. when every child can be educatedD. when children are permitted to receive education28. The main idea of the passage is that .A. parents should leave their children aloneB. kids should have more activities at schoolC. it?s time to be more strict with our kidsD. parents should always set a good example to their kidsPassage 3Do you find ge tting 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 a 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 forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: “Get up, John! You?ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is athis temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends whenhusbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can?t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman 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 want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won?t change your cycle, but you?ll get up steam（加速行进）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. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.29. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably .A.he is a lazy personB.he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC.he is not sure when his energy is lowD.he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening30. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A. Unawareness of energy cycle.B. Familiar monologues.C. A change in a family member?s energy cycle.D. Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.31. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, heshould .A. change his energy cycleB. overcome his lazinessC. get up earlier than usualD. go to bed earlier32. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will .A.help to keep your energy for the day?s workB.help you to control your temper early in the dayC.enable you to concentrate on your routine workD.keep your energy cycle under control all dayPassage 4Working with Alvarez was always exciting. He seemed to be one of the few physicists developing methods to find new areas of science. After six years of formal physics training my education was finally beginning. I found myself studying Alvarez, trying to understand his approach to problems.Alvarez has made more discoveries than any other living physicist I know, and I could sense he did it for the excitement and the adventure. He was not a scholar; I wasfrequently amazed to see there were the facts of physics he did not know. He didn?t stuff his mind needlessly. But when he needed to know something to solve problems, he learned it with amazing concentration and speed.My own future research would be modeled on the way I sawhim attack his “pyramid project”. Egyptian pyramids are constantly exposed to natural radiation. With a suitable detector, Alvarez realized he could use this radiation to “X-ray” one of the pyramids, and perhaps find a hidden chamber (an enclosed space). I guessed that the mysteries of the pyramids were problems he had thought about as a child. If Alvarez were to discover a new chamber full of treasures, it could be the greatest achievement of his life.Alvarez did his “experimental physics” from a desk, thinking the problem through with great thoroughness before setting up any equipment. When others expressed an interest in his work, he welcomed their help. This whole procedure of organization was his greatest lesson to me.The pyramid was successfully “X-rayed”, but there were no hidden chambers. It was a terrible disappointment. That is the nature of scientific exploration. There may be nothing there.33. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. Alvarez, a Great PhysicistB. Research on PyramidsC. What Scientific Exploration IsD. Lessons from Alvarez34. What do we know about Alvarez from this passage?A. He was the author?s teacher of physics.B. He made discoveries mainly for the academic purposes rather than for fun.C. He was willing to be assisted by those who were interested in the work he wasengaged in.D. He “X-rayed” the pyramid successfully, which was the greatest achievement ofhis life.35. According to the author, the most important thing he learned from Alvarezwas .A. the nature of scientific explorationB. Alvarez?s approach to scientific researchC. the right attitude in making a discoveryD. Alvarez?s concentration and speed in absorbing the new things.36. The author talked about Alvarez in a tone.A. admiringB. indifferentC. matter-of-factD. jealous37. Which statement is true according to this passage?A. The author worked with Alvarez in order to further his education on new areasof science.B. Few physicists made more discoveries than Alvarez in new areas of science.C. Alvarez would learn things attentively and quickly if he considered themhelpful to the solution of a problem.D. To the scientific researcher, it is not acceptable to be in a terribledisappointment when they find nothing in the exploration.Part ⅢVocabulary & Structure (10%)Directions:There are 20 incomplete sentences in this section.
