You should decide on the best choice and mark thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single linethrough the center.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities thatoccur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train it. Obedience training doesn’t solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training pens up a line of communication between you and your dog. Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the pack (群) by using extreme measure. You can teach your dog its subordinate (从属的) role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge.Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A well-trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.21. Behavior problems of dogs are believe to ________.A) be just part of their natureB) worsen in modern societyC) occur when they go wildD) present a threat to the community22. The primary purpose of obedience training is to ________.A) teach the dog to perform clever tricksB) make the dog aware of its owner’s authorityC) provide the dog with outlets for its wild behaviorD) enable the dog to regain its normal behavior23. Effective communication between a dog and its owner is ________.A) essential to solving the dog’s behavior problemsB) the foundation for dogs to perform tasksC) a good way to teach the dog new tricksD) an extreme measure in obedience training24. Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?A) To avoid being punished.B) To show their affection for their masters.C) To win leadership of the dog pack.D) To show their willingness to obey.25. When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner________.A) can give the dog more rewardsB) will enjoy a better family lifeC) can give the dog more freedomD) will have more confidence in himselfPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department, famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment. But that’s not what I did.I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts (文科) university that doesn’t even offer a major in electrical engineering. Obviously, this was not a practical choice; I came here for more noble reasons. I wanted a broad education that would provide me withflexibility and a value system to guide me in my career. I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren’t studying science or engineering. My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice. They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering “factories” where they didn’t care if you have values or were flexible. I was going to be a complete engineer: technical genius and sensitive humanist (人文学者) all in one.Now I’m not so sure. Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do. After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile (协调) engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply don’t’mix as easily as I assumed in high school. Individually they shape a person in very different ways; together they threaten to confuse. The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.26. The author chose to study engineering at a small liberal-artsuniversity because he ________.A) wanted to be an example of practicality and rationalityB) intended to be a combination of engineer and humanistC) wanted to coordinate engineering with liberal-arts courses incollegeD) intended to be a sensible student with noble ideals27. According to the author, by interacting with people who studyliberal arts, engineering students can ________.A) balance engineering and the liberal artsB) receive guidance in their careersC) become noble idealistsD) broaden their horizons28. In the eyes of the author, a successful engineering student isexpected ________.A) to have an excellent academic recordB) to be wise and matureC) to be imaginative with a value system to guide himD) to be a technical genius with a wide vision29. The author’s experience shows that he was ________.A) creativeB) ambitiousC) unrealisticD) irrational30. The word “they” in “... together they threaten to confuse.”(Line 3, Para. 5) refers to ________.A) engineering and the liberal artsB) reality and noble idealsC) flexibility and a value systemD) practicality and rationalityPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Priscilla Ouchida’s “energy-efficient”house turned out to be a horrible dream. When she and her engineer husband married a few years ago, they built a $100,000, three-bedroom home in California. Tightly sealed to prevent air leaks, the house was equipped with small double-paned (双层玻璃的) windows and several other energy-saving features. Problems began as soon as the couple moved in, however. Priscilla’s eyes burned. Her throat was constantly dry. She sufferedfrom headaches and could hardly sleep. It was as though she had suddenly developed a strange illness.Experts finally traced the cause of her illness. The level of formaldehyde (甲醛) gas in her kitchen was twice the maximum allowed by federal standards for chemical workers. The source of the gas? Her new kitchen cabinets and wall-to-wall carpeting.The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution, which is not given sufficient attention partly because of the nation’s drive to save energy. The problem itself isn’t new. “The indoor environment was dirty long before energy conservation came along,”says Moschandreas, a pollution scientist at Geomet Technologies in Maryland. “Energy conservation has tended to accentuate the situation in some cases.”The problem appears to be more troublesome in newly constructed homes rather than old ones. Back in the days when energy was cheap, home builders didn’t worry much about unsealed cracks. Because of such leaks, the air in an average home was replaced by fresh outdoor air about once an hour. As a result, the pollutants generated in most households seldom build up to dangerous levels.31. It can be learned from the passage that the Ouchidas house________.A) is well worth the money spent on its constructionB) is almost faultless from the point of energy conservationC) failed to meet energy conservation standardsD) was designed and constructed in a scientific way32. What made the Ouchidas’ new house a horrible dream?A) Lack of fresh air.B) Poor quality of building materials.C) Gas leakage in the kitchen.D) The newly painted walls.33. The word “accentuate” (Line 4, Para. 3) most probably means“________”.A) relieveB) accelerateC) worsenD) improve34. Why were cracks in old houses not a big concern?A) Because indoor cleanliness was not emphasized.B) Because energy used to be inexpensive.C) Because environmental protection was given top priority.D) Because they were technically unavoidable.35. This passage is most probably taken from an article entitled“________”.A) Energy ConservationB) Houses Building CrisisC) Air Pollution IndoorsD) Traps in Building ConstructionPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.In 1993. New York State ordered stores to charge a deposit on beverage (饮料) containers. Within a year. Consumers had returned millions of aluminum cans and glass and plastic bottles. Plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw materials for new products. But because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound up buried in landfills (垃圾填埋场). The problem was not limited to New York. Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second-hand plastic.Today, one out of five plastic soda bottles is recycled (回收利用) in the United States. The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies across the country buying discarded plasticsoda bottles and turning them into fence posts, paint brushes, etc.Shrinking landfill space, and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling. In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste-management option. For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in parts of New York, amounts to saving of more than $100 per ton. Recycling also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and trims the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a more refined raw material.36. What regulation was issued by New York State concerning beveragecontainers?A) Beverage companies should be responsible for collecting andreusing discarded plastic soda bottles.B) Throwaways should be collected by the state for recycling.C) A fee should be charged on used containers for recycling.D) Consumers had to pay for beverage containers and could get theirmoney back on returning them.37. The returned plastic bottles in New York used to ________.A) end up somewhere undergroundB) be turned into raw materialsC) have a second-life valueD) be separated from other rubbish38. The key problem in dealing with returned plastic beveragecontainers is ________.A) to sell them at a profitable priceB) how to turn them into useful thingsC) how to reduce their recycling costsD) to lower the prices for used materials39. Recycling ahs become the first choice for the disposal of rubbishbecause ________.A) local governments find it easy to manageB) recycling ahs great appeal for the joblessC) recycling causes little pollutionD) other methods are more expensive40. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.A) rubbish is a potential remedy for the shortage of raw materialsB) local governments in the U.S. can expect big profits fromrecyclingC) recycling is to be recommended both economically andenvironmentallyD) landfills will still be widely used for waste disposalPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes) Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

2019年英语专四作文真题范文English Response:English Response:English Response:The 2019 CET-4 (College English Test-4) essay prompt required candidates to discuss the impact of social media on interpersonal communication. This topic is particularly relevant in today's digital age, where platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter dominate our daily interactions.Social media undeniably revolutionized how we communicate. On one hand, it has made staying connected easier than ever before. We can share updates, photos, and thoughts instantly with friends and family, regardless of distance. For instance, when I lived abroad, platforms like WhatsApp and Skype were crucial for maintainingrelationships back home. I could video call my parents or message my friends with just a few taps, bridging the geographical gap.However, social media has also introduced challenges to interpersonal communication. One notable impact is the prevalence of miscommunication and misunderstandings. Text-based communication lacks tone and body language cues, leading to frequent misinterpretations. For example, a simple joke might be taken seriously, causing unintended offense. I've experienced this firsthand when a sarcastic comment I made on Facebook was misunderstood, leading to an awkward exchange with a friend.Moreover, social media can foster shallow interactions at the expense of meaningful connections. With the focus on likes, shares, and followers, people often prioritize quantity over quality in their relationships. We may have hundreds of "friends" online but lack deep, intimate connections offline. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as "social media superficiality." I've observed this in my own social circles, where some individuals seem moreconcerned with their online image than genuine human connection.Despite these drawbacks, social media isn't inherently negative for interpersonal communication. It's all about how we use it. By being mindful of our online interactions and supplementing them with face-to-face communication whenever possible, we can mitigate the downsides and reap the benefits of social media.中文回答：中文回答：2019年英语专四作文考题要求考生讨论社交媒体对人际交往的影响。

The sportsman first of all obeys the fish and game laws, not because he is liable to be punished as a violator, but because he knows that in the main these laws are made for his best interests.The following are some of the things that those who would qualify for membership in the sportsmanship fraternity （圈内人）will do.1. Take no more game than the bag limit provided for by the fish and game laws. The person who comes back from a trip boasting about the large number of fish or game taken is not a sportsman but a game hog （贪得无厌的捕猎者）.2. Observe the unwritten rules of fair play. This means shooting game birds only when the birds are “on the wing”. For the same reason, do not use a shotgun to shoot a rabbit or similar animal while it is sitting or standing still.3. Be careful in removing illegal or undersized fish from the hook. This should be done only after wetting the hands. This is necessary because the body of the fish is covered with a thin, protective film which will stick to your dry hands. If the hands are dry when the fish is handled, the film is torn from the body of the fish. Without the protective film, the fish is more easily attacked by diseases. If you wish to release a fish that is hooked in such a way that it will be impossible to be close to the hook as convenient. In a remarkably short time, the hook will break down and the fish will remain almost unharmed. Fish have been known to feed successfully while hooks were still in their lips.4. Be sure of the identity of your target before you shoot. Many useful and harmless species of wildlife are thoughtlessly killed by the uninformed person who is out with a gun to kill whatever flies within range.In what respect does the author think individual outdoor sports are similar to athletic contests?填写我的答案插入图片请输入答案纠错标记32A person who goes out fishing with a fishing rod or hunting with a gun is not necessarily ________.填写我的答案插入图片请输入答案纠错标记33What’s the most important thing a true sportsman should bear in mind when he goes fishing or hunting ________.填写我的答案插入图片请输入答案纠错标记34 Those who violate the fish and game laws will not be ________ for membership in the sportsmanship fraternity.填写我的答案插入图片请输入答案纠错标记35 What are people called when they break the bag limit and boast about their big catch?填写我的答案插入图片请输入答案纠错标记36A true sportsman will not shoot an animal which is not ________.填写我的答案插入图片请输入答案纠错标记37What are people advised to do before they remove illegal or undersized fish from the hook?填写我的答案插入图片请输入答案纠错标记38What should sportsman do to avoid killing rare species of wildlife?填写我的答案插入图片请输入答案纠错标记Part II Reading Comprehension3939-43Is there enough oil beneath the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge （保护区）（ANWR）to help secure America’s energy future? President Bush certainly thinks so. He has argued that tapping ANWR’s oil would help ease California’s electricity crisis and provide a major boost to the country’s energy independence. But no one knows for sure how much crude oil lies buried beneath the frozen earth with the last government survey, conducted in 1998, projecting output anywhere from 3 billion to 16 billion barrels.The oil industry goes with the high end of the range, which could equal as much as 10% of U.S. consumption for as long as six years. By pumping more than 1 million barrels a day from the reserve for the next two three decades, lobbyists claim, the nation could cut back on imports equivalent to all shipments to the U.S. from Saudi Arabia. Sounds good. An oil boom would also mean a multibillion-dollar windfall （意外之财）in tax revenues, royalties （开采权使用费）and leasing fees for Alaska and the Federal Government. Best of all, advocates of drilling say, damage to the environment would be insignificant. “We’ve never had a document case of oil rig chasing deer out onto the pack ice.”says Alaska State Representative Scott Ogan.Not so far, say environmentalists. Sticking to the low end of government estimates, the National Resources Defense Council says there may be no more than 3.2 billion barrels of economically recoverable oil in the coastal plain of ANWR, a drop in the bucket that would do virtually nothing to ease America’s energy problems. And consumers would wait up to a decade to gain any benefits, because drilling could begin only after much bargaining over leases, environmental permits and regulatory review. As for ANWR’s impact on the California power crisis, environmentalists point out that oil is responsible for only 1% of the Golden State’s electricity output —and just 3% of the nation’s.What does President Bush think of tapping oil in ANWR?A. It will exhaust the nation’s oil reserveB. It will help secure the future of ANWC. It will help reduce the nation’s oil importD. It will increase America’s energy consumptio纠错标记40We learn from the second paragraph that the American oil industry ________.A. believes that drilling for oil in ANWR will produce high yieldsB. tends to exaggerate America’s reliance on foreign oilC. shows little interest in tapping oil in ANWRD. expects to stop oil imports from Saudi Arabia纠错标记41Those against oil drilling in ANWR argue that ________.A. it can cause serious damage to the environmentB. it can do little to solve energy problemsC. it will drain the oil reserves in the Alaskan regionD. it will not have much commercial value纠错标记42What do the environmentalists mean by saying “Not so fast”（Line 1, Para. 3）?A. Oil exploitation takes a long timeB. The oil drilling should be delayedC. Don’t be too optimisticD. Don’t expect fast returns纠错标记43It can be learned from the passage that oil exploitation beneath ANWR’s frozen earth ________.A. remains a controversial issueB. is expected to get under way soonC. involves a lot of technological problemsD. will enable the to be oil independent纠错标记4444-48“Tear ‘em apart!”“Kill the fool!”“Murder the referee （裁判）!”These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But let’s not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed. V olumes have been written about the way words affect us. It has been shown that words having certain connotations （含义）may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term “opponent”as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms.The dictionary meaning of the term “opponent “is “adversary “: “enemy “; “one who opposes your interests.”“Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may dominate one’s intellect, and every action, no matter how gross, may be considered justifiable. I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player’s request for a time out for a glove change because he did not considered then wet enough. The player proceeded to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then exclaimed. “Are they wet enough now?”In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent’s international and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from normal behavior.Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated （提升）the game to the level where it belongs thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term “opponent”with “associate”could be an ideal way to start.The dictionary meaning of the term “associate”is “colleague”; “friend”; “companion.”Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the differencein your reaction to the term “associate”rather than “opponent.”Which of the following statements best expresses the author’s view?A. Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequenceB. The words people use can influence their behavioC. Unpleasant words in sports are often used by foreign athleteD. Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports fiel纠错标记45Harsh words are spoken during games because the players ________.A. are too eager to winB. are usually short-tempered and easily offendedC. cannot afford to be polite in fierce competitionD. treat their rivals as enemies纠错标记46What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves?A. He refused to continue the gamB. He angrily hit the referee with a balC. He claimed that the referee was unfaiD. He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shir纠错标记47According to the passage, players, in a game, may ________.A. deliberately throw the ball at anyone illegally blocking their wayB. keep on screaming and shouting throughout the gameC. lie down on the ground as an act of protestD. kick the ball across the court with force纠错标记48The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by ________.A. calling on players to use clean language on the courtB. raising the referee’s sense of responsibilityC. changing the attitude of players on the sports fieldD. regulating the relationship between players and referees纠错标记4949-53Consumers are being confused and misled by the hodge-podge （大杂烩）of environmental claims made by household products, according to a “green labeling”study published by Consumers International Friday.Among the report’s more outrageous （令人无法容忍的）findings-a German fertilizer described itself as “earthworm friendly”a brand of flour said it was “non-polluting”and a British toilet paper claimed to be “environmentally friendlier”The study was written and researched by Britain’s National Consumer Council （NCC．for lobby group Consumer International. It was funded by the German and Dutch governments and the European Commission.“While many good and useful claims are being made, it is clear there is a long way to go in ensuring shoppers are adequately informed about the environmental impact of products they buy,”said Consumers International director Anna Fielder.The 10-country study surveyed product packaging in Britain, Western Europe, Scandinavia and the United States. It found that products sold in Germany and the United Kingdom made the most environmental claims on average.The report focused on claims made by specific products, such as detergent （洗涤剂）insect sprays and by some garden products. It did not test the claims, but compared them to labeling guidelines set by the International Standards Organization （ISO）in September, 1999.Researchers documented claims of environmental friendliness made by about 2,000 products and found many too vague or too misleading to meet ISO standards.“Many products had specially-designed labels to make them seem environmentally friendly, but in fact many of these symbols mean nothing,”said report researcher Philip Page.“Laundry detergents made the most number of claims with 158. Household cleaners were second with 145 separate claims, while paints were third on our list with 73. The high numbers show how very confusing it must be for consumers to sort the true from the misleading.”he said.The ISO labeling standards ban vague or misleading claims on product packaging, because terms such as “environmentally friendly”and “non-polluting”cannot be verified. “What we are now pushing for is to have multinational corporations meet the standards set by the ISO.”said Page.According to the passage, the NCC found it outrageous that ________.A. all the products surveyed claim to meet ISO standardsB. the claims made by products are often unclear or deceivingC. consumers would believe many of the manufactures’claimD. few products actually prove to be environment friendly纠错标记50As indicated in this passage, with so many good claims, the consumers ________.A. are becoming more cautious about the products they are going to buyB. are still not willing to pay more for products with green labelingC. are becoming more aware of the effects different products have on the environmentD. still do not know the exact impact of different products on the environment纠错标记51A study was carried out by Britain’s NCC to ________.A. find out how many claims made by products fail to meet environmental standardsB. inform the consumers of the environmental impact of the products they buyC. examine claims made by products against ISO standardsD. revise the guidelines set by the International Standards Organization纠错标记52What is one of the consequences caused by the many claims of household products?A. They are likely to lead to serious environmental problemB. Consumers find it difficult to tell the true from the falsC. They could arouse widespread anger among consumeD. Consumers will be tempted to buy products they don’t nee纠错标记53It can be inferred from the passage that the lobby group Consumer International wants to ________.A. make product labeling satisfy ISO requirementsB. see all household products meet environmental standardsC. warn consumers of the danger of so-called green productsD. verify the efforts of non-polluting products纠错标记5454-58Two hours from the tall buildings of Manhattan and Philadelphia live some of the world’s largest black bears. They are in northern Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, a home they share with an abundance of other wildlife.The streams, lakes, meadows （草地）, mountain ridges and forests that make the Poconos an ideal place for black bears have also attracted more people to the region. Open spaces are threatened by plans for housing estates and important habitats （栖息地）are endangered by highway construction. To protect the Poconos natural beauty from irresponsible development, the Nature Conservancy （大自然保护协会）named the area one of America’s “Last Great Places”.Operating out of a century-old schoolhouse in the village of Long Pond, Pennsylvania, the conservancy’s bud Cook is working with local people and business leaders to balance economic growth with environmental protection. By forging partnerships with people like Francis Altemose, the Conservancy has been able to protect more than 14,000 acres of environmentally important land in the area.Altemose’s family has farmed in the Pocono area for generations. Two years ago Francis worked with the Conservancy to include his farm in a county farmland protection program. As a result, his family’s land can be protected from development and the Altemoses will be better able to provide a secure financial future for their 7-year-old grandson.Cook attributes the Conservancy’s success in the Poconos to having a local presence and a commitment to working with local residents“The key to protecting these remarkable lands is connecting with the local community,”Cook said. “The people who live there respect the land. They value quiet forests, clear streams and abundant wildlife. They are eager to help with conservation effort.For more information on how you can help the Nature Conservancy protect the Poconos and the world’s other “Last Great Places,”please call 1-888-564 6864 or visit us on the World Wide Web at .The purpose in naming the Poconos as one of America’s “Last Great Places”is to ________.A. gain support from the local communityB. protect it from irresponsible developmentC. make it a better home for black bearsD. provide financial security for future generations纠错标记55We learn from the passage that ________.A. the population in the Pocono area is growingB. wildlife in the Pocono area is dying out rapidlyC. the security of the Pocono residents is being threatened在线学英语体验请申请：/wenkxd.htmD. farmlands in the Pocono area are shrinking fast纠错标记56What is important in protecting the Poconos according to Cook?A.

2019年12月大学英语四级考试真题（第一套）及参考答案完整版（1）Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre..Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.The fifth largest city in the US passed a significant soda tax proposal that will levy (征税)1.5 cents per liquid ounce on distributors.Philadelphia's new measure was approved by a 13 to 4 city council vote. It sets a new bar for similar initiatives across the county. It is proof that taxes on sugary drinks can win substantial support outside super-liberal areas. Until now, the only city to successfully pass and implement a soda tax was Berkeley, Califomia, in 2014.The tax will apply to regular and diet sodas, as well as other drinks with added sugar, such as Gatorade and iced teas. It's expected to raise $410 million over the next five years, most of which will go toward funding a universal pre-kindergarten program for the city.While the city council vote was met with applause inside the council room, opponents to the measure, including soda lobbyists made sharp criticisms and a promise to challenge the tax in court.“The tax passed today unfairly singles out beverages-including low- and no-calorie choices”, said Lauren Kane, spokeswoman for the America n Beverage Association. “But most importantly, it is against the law. So we will side with the majority of the people of Philadelphia who oppose this tax and take legal action to stop it. “An industry backed anti- tax campaign has spent at least S4 million on advertisements. The ads criticized the measure. characterizing it as a “grocery tax.”Public health groups applauded the approved tax as a step toward fixing certain lasting health issues that plague Americans. “The move to recapture a small part of t he profits from an industry that pushes a product that contributes to diabetes, obesity and heart disease in poorer communities in order to reinvest in those communities will sure be inspirational to many other places”, said Jim Krieger, executive director of Healthy Food America. Indeed, we are already hearing from some of them. “It's not just Berkeley anymore.”Similar measures in California's Albany, Oakland, San Francisco and Colorado's boulder are becoming hot-button issues Health advocacy groups have hinted that even more might be coming46. What does the passage say about the newly-approved soda tax in Philadelphia?A) It will change the lifestyle of many consumersB) It may encourage other US cities to follow suit.C) It will cut soda consumption among low-income communitiesD) It may influence the marketing strategies of the soda business47. What will the opponents probably do to respond to thesoda tax proposal?A) Bargain with the city council.B) Refuse to pay additional tax.C) Take legal action against itD) Try to win public support.48. What did the industry-backed anti-tax campaign do about the soda tax proposalA) It tried to arouse hostile feelings among consumersB) It tried to win grocers support against the measureC) It kept sending letters of protest to the mediaD) It criticized the measure through advertising49. What did public health groups think the soda tax would do?A) Alert people to the risk of sugar-induced diseases.B) Help people to fix certain long-time health issues.C) Add to the fund for their research on diseases.D) Benefit low-income people across the country50.What do we learn about similar measures concerning the soda tax in some other cities?A)They are becoming rather sensitive issues.B) They are spreading panic in the soda industry.C)They are reducing the incidence of sugar-induced diseases.D)They are taking away lot of profit from the soda industryPassage TwoPopping food into the microwave for a couple of minutes may seem utterly harmless, but Europe’s stock of these quick-cooking ovens emit as much carbon as nearly 7 million cars, a new study has found. And the problem is growing. With costs falling and kitchen appliances becoming “status" items, owners are throwing away microwaves after an average of eight years.This is pushing sales of new microwaves which are expected to reach 135 million annually in the EU by the end of the decadeA study by the University of Manchester calculated the emissions of co2-the main greenhouse gas responsible for climate change-at every stage of microwaves, from manufacture to waste disposal. “It is electri city consumption by microwaves that has the biggest impact on th e environment," say the authors. The authors also calculate that the emissions from using 19 microwaves over a year are the same as those from using a car. According to the same study, efforts to reduce consumption should focus on improving consumer awareness and behaviour . For example, consumers could use appliances in a more efficient way by adjusting the time of cooking to the type of food.However, David Reay, professor of carbon management, argues that, although microwaves use a great deal of energy, their emissions are minor compared to those from cars. In the UK alone, there are around 30 million cars These cars emit more than all the microwaves in the EU. Backing this up, recent data show that passenger cars in the UK emitted 69 million tons of CO2 in 2015. This is 10 times the amount this new microwave oven study estimates for annual emissions for all the microwave ovens in the EU. Further, the energy used by microwaves is lower than any other form of cooking. Among common kitchen appliances used for cooking,microwaves are the most energy efficient, followed by a stove and finally a standard oven. Thus, rising microwave sales could be seen as a positive thing.51.What is the finding of the new study?A)Quick-cooking microwave ovens have become more popular.B) The frequent use of microwaves may do harm to our health.C) CO2 emissions constitute a major threat to the environmentD）The use of microwaves emits more CO than people think .52.Why are the sales of microwaves expected to rise？A)They are becoming more affordable.B)They have a shorter life cycle than other appliances .C) They are getting much easier to operate.D) They take less time to cook than other appliances.53. What recommendation does the study by the University of Manchester make?A) Cooking food of different varieties.B) Improving microwave user’s habits.C) Eating less to cut energy consumption.D) Using microwave ovens less frequently.54. What does Professor David Reay try to argue?A) There are far more emissions from cars than from microwaves.B) People should be persuaded into using passenger cars less oftenC) The UK produces less CO than many other countries in the EUD) More data are needed to show whether microwaves are harmful.55. What does Professor David Reay think of the use of microwaves?A) It will become less popular in the coming decades.B) It makes everyday cooking much more convenient.C) It plays a positive role in environmental protection.D) It consumes more power than conventional cooking【参考答案】46-50 D C A D C51-55 C B B A DPart Ⅳ Translation( 30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choicesmarked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and markthe corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through thecentre.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.I’m usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that today’s children aresignificantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children ages 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago.Why are America’s kids so stressed? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation—brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things—and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place.Given that we can’t turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation cope.At the top of the list is nurturing (培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress.To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep.Limit the amount of virtual (虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It’s not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news.Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale.Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn’t have to ruin your life.21. The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people’s state of mindare ________.A) surprisingB) confusingC) illogicalD) questionable22. What does the author mean when he says, “we can’t turn the clock back” (Line 1,Para. 3)?A) It’s impossible to slow down the pace of change.B) The social reality children are facing cannot be changed.C) Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.D) It’s impossible to forget the past.23. According to an analysis, compared with normal children today, children treated asmentally ill 50 years ago ________.A) were less isolated physicallyB) were probably less self-centeredC) probably suffered less from anxietyD) were considered less individualistic24. The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is________.A) to provide them with a safer environmentB) to lower their expectations for themC) to get them more involved sociallyD) to set a good model for them to follow25. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?A) Anxiety, though unavoidable, can be coped with.B) Children’s anxiety has been enormously exaggerated.C) Children’s anxiety can be eliminated with more parental care.D) Anxiety, if properly controlled, may help children become mature.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.It is easier to negotiate initial salary requirement because once you are inside, the organizational constraints (约束) influence wage increases. One thing, however, is certain: your chances of getting the raise you feel you deserve are less if you don’t at least ask for it. Men tend to ask for more, and they get more, and this holds true with other resources, not just pay increases. Consider Beth’s story:I did not get what I wanted when I did not ask for it. We had cubicle (小隔间) offices and window offices. I sat in the cubicles with several male colleagues. One by one they were moved into window offices, while I remained in the cubicles, several males who were hired after me also went to offices. One in particular told me he was next in line for an office and that it had been part of his negotiations for the job. I guess they thought me content to stay in the cubicles since I did not voice my opinion either way.It would be nice if we all received automatic pay increases equal to our merit, but “nice” isn’t a quality attributed to most organizations. If you feel you deserve a significant raise in pay, you’ll probably have to ask for it.Performance is your best bargaining chip (筹码) when you are seeking a raise. You must be able to demonstrate that you deserve a raise. Timing is also a good bargaining chip. If you can give your boss something he or she needs (a new client or a sizable contract, for example) just before merit pay decisions are being made, you are more likely to get the raise you want.Use information as a bargaining chip too. Find out what you are worth on the open market.What will someone else pay for your services?Go into the negotiations prepared to place your chips on the table at the appropriate time and prepared to use communication style to guide the direction of the interaction.26. According to the passage, before taking a job, a person should ________.A) demonstrate his capabilityB) give his boss a good impressionC) ask for as much money as he canD) ask for the salary he hopes to get27. What can be inferred from Beth’s story?A) Prejudice against women still exists in some organizations.B) If people want what they deserve, they have to ask for it.C) People should not be content with what they have got.D) People should be careful when negotiating for a job.28. We can learn from the passage that ________.A) unfairness exists in salary increasesB) most people are overworked and underpaidC) one should avoid overstating one’s performanceD) most organizations give their staff automatic pay raises29. To get a pay raise, a person should ________.A) advertise himself on the job marketB) persuade his boss to sign a long-term contractC) try to get inside information about the organizationD) do something to impress his boss just before merit pay decisions30. To be successful in negotiations, one must ________.A) meet his boss at the appropriate timeB) arrive at the negotiation table punctuallyC) be good at influencing the outcome of the interactionD) be familiar with what the boss likes and dislikesPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.When families gather for Christmas dinner, some will stick to formal traditions dating back to Grandma’s generation. Their tables will be set with the good dishes andsilver, and the dress code will be Sunday-best.But in many other homes, this china-and-silver elegance has given way to a stoneware (粗陶)-and-stainless informality, with dresses assuming an equally casual-Friday look. For hosts and guests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, it spells economic hard times.Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent, announced that it is eliminating 1,000 jobs—one-fifth of its total workforce. That brings to more than 4,000 the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶瓷) region. Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier.Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing, the layoffs in Stoke have their roots in earthshaking social shifts. A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the com pany “has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend” toward casual dining. Families eat together less often, he explained, and more people eat alone, either because they are single or they eat in front of television;Even dinner parties, if they happen at all, have gone casual. In a time of long work hours and demanding family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightly, that it’s better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a “real” dinner party. Too often, the perfect moment never comes. Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth? Forget it. Polish the silver? Who has time?Yet the loss of formality has its down side. The fine points of etiquette (礼节) that children might once have learned at the table by observation or instruction from parents and grandparents (“Chew with your mouth closed.” “Keep your elbows off the table.”) must be picked up elsewhere. Some companies now offer etiquette seminars for employees who may be competent professionally but clueless socially.31. The trend toward casual dining has resulted in ________.A) bankruptcy of fine china manufacturersB) shrinking of the pottery industryC) restructuring of large enterprisesD) economic recession in Great Britain32. Which of the following may be the best reason for casual dining?A) Family members need more time to relax.B) Busy schedules leave people no time for formality.C) People want to practice economy in times of scarcity.D) Young people won’t follow the etiquette of the older generation.33. It can be learned from the passage that Royal Doulton is ________.A) a retailer of stainless steel tablewareB) a dealer in stonewareC) a pottery chain storeD) a producer of fine china34. The main cause of the layoffs in the pottery industry is ________.A) the increased value of the poundB) the economic recession in AsiaC) the change in people’s way of lifeD) the fierce competition at home and abroad35. Refined table manners, though less popular than before in current social life________.A) are still a must on certain occasionsB) axe bound to return sooner or laterC) are still being taught by parents at homeD) can help improve personal relationshipsPassage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Some houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects.Located on the shore of Sullivan’s Island off the coast of South Carolina, th e award-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane (飓风) Hugo 10 years ago. In September 1989, Hugo struck South Carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state.Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolina’s shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement of building codes wasn’t strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. In Hugo’s wake, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enforced codes. The new beach house on Sullivan’s Island should be able to withstand a Category 3 hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour.At first sight, the house on Sullivan’s Island looks anything but hur ricane-proof. Its redwood shell makes it resemble “a large party lantern (灯笼)” at night, according to one observer. But looks can be deceiving. The house’s wooden frame is reinforced with long steel rods to give it extra strength.To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings—long, slender columns of wood anchored deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also elevate the house above storm surges. The pilings allow the surges to run under the house instead of running into it. “These swells of water come ashore attremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings,” said Huff.Huff designed the t imber pilings to be partially concealed by the house’s ground-to-roof shell. “The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesn’t look like it’s standing with its pant legs pulled up,” said Huff. In the event of a storm surge, the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained.36. After the tragedy caused by Hurricane Hugo, new houses built along SouthCarolina’s shore line are required ________.A) to be easily reinforcedB) to look smarter in designC) to meet stricter building standardsD) to be designed in the shape of cubes37. The award-winning beach house is quite strong because ________.A) it is strengthened by steel rodsB) it is made of redwoodC) it is in the shape of a shellD) it is built with timber and concrete38. Huff raised the house 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings in order to________.A) withstand peak winds of about 200 km/hrB) anchor stronger pilings deep in the sandC) break huge sea waves into smaller onesD) prevent water from rushing into the house39. The main function of the shell is ________.A) to strengthen the pilings of the houseB) to give the house a better appearanceC) to protect the wooden frame of the houseD) to slow down the speed of the swelling water40. It can be inferred from the passage that the shell should be ________.A) fancy-lookingB) waterproofC) easily breakableD) extremely strongPart III Vocabulary (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

2. 出国留学给人们带来了什么挑战？3. 如何解决这些挑战？Sample answer:Studying abroad has become increasingly popular in recent years. Some students go abroad for advanced academic degrees, others go to improve their language skills, and still othersgo to see the world and experience life in another culture. However, studying abroad is not without its challenges.Firstly, studying in a foreign country is expensive. The cost of tuition, transportation, and living expenses can be very high. Secondly, living in a foreign culture can be a shock to the system. The language barrier can be a problem, making the simplest of tasks such as grocery shopping or ordering food at a restaurant difficult. Thirdly, being away from home and one's own culture can result in feelings of isolation and loneliness.To cope with these challenges, there are some effective strategies. Firstly, students can learn to manage their finances by getting part-time jobs or finding scholarships. Secondly, they can learn the language before they go or sign up for language classes when they arrive. Finally, they can take advantage of social activities and events to meet new people and build a support system.In conclusion, studying abroad is a rewarding experience, but there are many challenges that students may need to overcome. With proper planning and support, these challenges can be met and students can have a successful study abroad experience.（2）Part II Listening Comprehension (30 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, you will hear six conversations between two speakers.

The ability to track users across the web, examining their clicks, searches, and purchases to create detailed user "profiles," has allowed advertisers to serve up content targeted to specific demographics with unprecedented accuracy. However, this practice has also raised concerns about user privacy and has prompted calls for increased regulation ofthe industry.Critics argue that users are often not aware of the amount of data being collected or how it will be used. In response,some internet browsers have introduced features designed to help users manage their privacy. For example, Microsoft'sEdge browser has a tracking prevention feature, which aims to limit the collection of data on a user's browsing history. Similarly, Apple's Safari browser blocks third-party tracking cookies by default.Another solution proposed by critics is the adoption of a new privacy law, similar to the General Data ProtectionRegulation (GDPR) implemented by the European Union in 2018. The GDPR imposes strict rules on the collection, use, and storage of personal data, and grants users control over their online information. While the GDPR has not been without controversy, many privacy advocates contend that it represents an important step toward safeguarding individual privacy.However, defenders of the current system argue that targeted advertising is an important driver of the free internet economy. They point out that without the ability to serve up relevant ads, websites and app developers would be forced to rely on other forms of revenue, such as subscription fees or paywalls. Additionally, they argue that users have a choice whether or not to accept targeted advertising, and that the data being collected is non-sensitive, such as browsing history.41. What is the author's main concern about targeted advertising?42. How does the author describe the impact of datacollection on user privacy?43. Which of the following is a security feature offered by Microsoft's Edge browser?44. What has been the controversy surrounding the GDPR?45. What is the main counterargument of the defenders of targeted advertising?答案：1. A2. C3. A4. B5. A6. D 41. It may threaten user privacy.42. It has raised concerns about user privacy.43. The prevention of data collection on a user's browsing history.44. The GDPR is argued to be too restrictive and burdensome for businesses.45. Targeted advertising is important for the free internet economy and users can choose whether or not to accept it.2. CET-6CET-6是更高一阶的英语水平考试，主要考察学生在英语综合运用方面的能力。

(S10) ________Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choicesmarked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and markthe corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through thecenter.Passage OneQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition (学会) of each new skill-the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child: This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.Patents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are sever over times of coming home atnight or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child’s own happiness.As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.11. Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills ________.A) should be avoidedB) is universal among parentsC) sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD) will make him lose interest in learning new things12. In the process of children’s learning new skills parents ________.A) should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words theyreadB) should not expect too much of themC) should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them ontheir ownD) should create as many learning opportunities as possible13. The second paragraph mainly tells us that ________.A) parents should be strict with their childrenB) parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of thecommunityC) parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of thechildren aloneD) parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation14. The word “precept” (Line 3, Para. 3) probably means “________”.A) ideaB) punishmentC) behaviorD) instruction15. In moral matters, parents should ________.A) observe the rules themselvesB) be aware of the marked difference between adults and childrenC) forbid things which have no foundation in moralityD) consistently ensure the security of their childrenPassage TwoQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features (特写) as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and not glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers variety to attract many different readers, but far more than nay one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality (时事性), its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now, but immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what papers in a newspaper has no more than transient (短暂的) value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.16. A modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following except its ________.A) wide coverageB) uniform styleC) speed in reporting newsD) popularity17. According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the “same”newspaper is that ________.A) people scan for the news they are interested inB) different people prefer different newspapersC) people are rarely interested in the same kind of newsD) people have different views about what a good newspaper is18. It can be conclude from the passage that newspaper readers ________.A) apply reading techniques skillfullyB) jump from one newspaper to anotherC) appreciate the variety of a newspaperD) usually read a newspaper selectively19. A good newspaper offers “a variety” to readers because ________.A) it tries to serve different readersB) it has to cover things that happen in a certain localityC) readers are difficult to pleaseD) readers like to read different newspapers20. The best title for this passage would be “________”.A) The Importance of Newspaper TopicalityB) The Characteristics of a Good NewspaperC) The Variety of a Good NewspaperD) Some Suggestions on How to Read a NewspaperPassage ThreeQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.American society is not nap (午睡) friendly. In fact, says David Dinges, a sleep specialist at the Universi ty of Pennsylvania School of Medicine. “There’s even a prohibition against admitting we need sleep.” Nobody wants to be caught napping or found asleep at work. To quote proverb: “Some sleep five hours, nature requires seven, laziness nine and wickedness el even.”Wrong. The way not to fall asleep at work is to take naps when you need them. “We have to totally change our attitude toward napping”, says Dr. William Dement of Stanford University, the godfather of sleep research.Last year a national commission l ed by Dement identified an “American sleep debt” which one member said was as important as the national debt, the commission was concerned about the dangers of sleepiness: people causing industrial accidents or falling asleep while driving. This may be why we have a new sleep policy in the White House. According to recent reports, president Clinton is trying to take a half-hour snooze (打瞌睡) every afternoon.About 60 percent of American adults nap when given the opportunity. We seem to have “a midafternoon quiet phase” also called “a secondary sleep gate.” Sleeping 15 minutes to two hours in the early afternoon can reduce stress and make us refreshed. Clearly, we were born to nap.We Superstars of Snooze don’t nap to replace lost shut-eye or to prepare for a night shift. Rather, we “snack” on sleep, whenever, wherever and at whatever time we feel like it. I myself have napped in buses, cars, planes and on boats; on floors and beds; and inlibraries, offices and museums.21. It is commonly accepted in American society that too much sleep is ________.A) unreasonableB) criminalC) harmfulD) costly22. The research done by the Dement commission shows that Americans ________.A) don’t like to take napsB) are terribly worried about their national debtC) sleep less than is good for themD) have caused many industrial and traffic accidents23. The purpose of this article is to ________.A) warn us of the wickedness of nappingB) explain the danger of sleepinessC) discuss the side effects of nappingD) convince the reader of the necessity of napping24. The “American sleep debt” (Line 1, Para. 3) is the result of ________.A) the traditional misconception the Americans have about sleepB) the new sleep policy of the Clinton AdministrationC) the rapid development of American industryD) the Americans’ worry about the danger of sleepiness25. The second sentence of the last paragraph tells us that it is ________.A) preferable to have a sound sleep before a night shiftB) good practice to eat something light before we go to bedC) essential to make up for cost sleepD) natural to take a nap whenever we feel the need for itPassage FourQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Violin prodigies (神童), I learned, have come in distinct waves from distinct regions. Most of the great performers if the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia and Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the world’s greatest violinists the reason for this phenomenon. “It is very clear,” he told me. “They were allJews (犹太人) and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the world. They were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage.” As a result, every Jewish parent’s dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West.Another element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field to nurture (培育) talent. Nowadays, the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East. “In Japan, a most competitive society, with stronger discipline than ours,” says Isaac Stem, children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. When Western music came to Japan after World War II, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well. The Koreans and Chinese as we know, are just as highly motivated as the Japanese.That’s a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. Next to hard work, biological inheritance plays an important role in the making of a prodigy. J. S. Bach, for example, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significant careers in music.26. Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music schoolbecause ________.A) it would allow them access to a better life in the WestB) Jewish children are born with excellent musical talentC) they wanted their children to enter into the professional fieldD) it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country27. Nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that, ________.A) enforce strong discipline on students who want to achieve excellenceB) treasure talent and provide opportunities for its full developmentC) encourage people to compete with each otherD) promise talented children high positions28. Japan is described in the passage as a country that attaches importance to ________.A) all-round developmentB) the learning of Western musicC) strict training of childrenD) variety in academic studies29. Which of the following contributes to the emergence of musical prodigies accordingto the passage?A) A natural gift.B) Extensive knowledge of music.C) Very early training.D) A prejudice-free society.30. Which of the following titles best summarises the main idea of the passage?A) Jewish Contribution to MusicB) Training of Musicians in the WorldC) Music and SocietyD) The Making of ProdigiesPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

However, these beasts of the sea do display a vast range of highly __28__behaviors that appear to be driving their genetic development.The word “c ulture”comes from the Latin “c olere,”which __29__ means “t o cultivate.”In other words, it refers to anything that is __30__ or learnt, rather than instinctive or natural. Among human populations, culture not only affects the way welive, but also writes itself into our genes, affecting who we are.

As such, different populations of killer whales have had to learn differenthunting techniques in order to gain the upper hand over their local prey(猎物).

Answer thequestions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Living with parents edges out other living arrangements for 18- to 34- year-olds[A] Broad demographic (人口的)shifts is marital status, educational attainment andemployment have transformed the way young adults in the U.S. are living, and a newPew Research C enter analysis highlights the implications of these changes f or themost basic element of their lives—where they call home. In 2014,for the first time inmore than 130 years, adults ages 18 to 34 were slightly more likely to be living intheir parents’h ome than they were to be living with a spouse or partner in their ownhousehold.[B] This turn of events is fueled primarily by the dramatic drop in the share of young Americans who are choosing to settle down romantically before age 35. Dating backto 1880, the most common living arrangement among young adults has been living with a romantic partner, whether a spouse or a significant other. This type of arrangement peaked around 1960, when 62% of the nation’s 18-to 34-year-olds were living with a spouse o r partner in their own household, and only one-in-five were living with their parents.[C] By 2014, 31.6% of young adults were living with a spouse or partner in their ownhousehold, below the share living in the home of their parent(s) (32.1%). Some 14%of young adults lived alone, were a single parent or lived with one or more roommates.The remaining 22% lived in the home of another family member (such as agrandparent,in-law or sibling ( 兄弟姐妹)), a non-relative, or in group quarters likecollege dormitories.[D] It ’s worth noting that the overall share of young adults living with their parentswas not at a record high in 2014. This arrangement peaked around 1940, when about35% of the nation’s 18-to 34-year-olds lived with mom and/or dad (compared with 32%in 2014). What has changed, instead, is the relative share adopting different ways ofliving in early adulthood, with the decline of romantic coupling pushing living athome to the top of a much less uniform list of living arrangements.[E] Among young adults, living arrangements differ significantly by gender. For menages 18 to 34, living at home with mom and/or dad has been the dominant living arrangementsince 2009, In 2014,28% of young men were living with a spouse ofpartner in their own home, while 35% were living in the home of their parent(s). Young women, however, are still more likely to be living with a spouse of romanticpartner(35%) than they are to be living with their parent(s)(29%).[F] In 2014, more young women (16%) than young men (13%) were heading up ahousehold without a spouse or partner. This is mainly because women are more likelythan men to be single parents living with their children. For their part, young men(25%) are more likely than young women (19%) to be living in the home of anotherfamily member, a non-relative or in some type of group quarters.[G] A variety of factors contribute to the long-run increase i n the share of young. Adults livingwith the parents. The first in the postponement of, if not retreat from,marriage. The average age of first marriage has risen steadily for decades. In addition,a growing share of young adult may be avoiding marriage altogether. A previous PewResearch Center analysis projected that as many as one-in-four of tod’a syyoung adultmay never marry. While cohabitation(同居)has been on the rise, the overall share ofyoung adults either married or living with an unmarried partner has substantiallyfallen since 1990.[H] In addition, trends in both employment status and wages have likely contributed to the growing share of young adults who are living in the home of their parent(s), andthis is especially true of young men. Employed young men are much less likely to live at home than young men without a job, and employment among young men has fallen significantly in recent decades.The share of young men with jobs peaked around 1960 at 84%. In 2014, only 71% of 18-to-34-year-old men were employed. Similarly with earnings, young men’s wages (after adjusting for inflation) have been on a downward trajectory (轨迹) since 1970 and fell significantly from 2000 to 2010. Aswages have fallen, the share of young men living in the home of their parent(s) hasrisen.[I] Economic factors seem to explain less of why young adult women are increasinglylikely to live at home. Generally, young women have had growing success in the paidlabor market since 1960 and hence might increasingly be expected to be a be to affordto afford to live independently of their parents. For women, delayed marriage—whichis related, in part, to labor market outcomes for men—may explain more of theincrease in their living in the family home.[J] The Great Recession (and modest recovery) has also been associated w ith an increase in young adults living at home. Initially in the wake of the recession, collegeenrollments expanded, boosting the ranks of young adults living at home. And giventhe weak job opportunities facing young adults, living at home was part of the privatesafety net help young adults to weather the economic storm.[K] Beyond gender, young adult’s living arrangements differ considerable byeducation—which is tied to financial means. F or young adults without a bachelor’s degree, as of 2008 living at home with their parents was more prevalent than livingwith a romantic partner. By 2014, 36% of 18-to 34-year-olds who had not completed abachelor’s degree were living with their parent(s) while 27% were living with aspouse or partner. Among college graduates, in 2014 46% were married or living witha partner, and only 19% were living with their parent(s). Young adults with a collegedegree have fared much better in the labor market than their less-educated counterparts, which has in turn made it easier to establish their own households.36.Unemployed young men are more likely to live with their parents than the employed.37.In 2014, the percentage of men aged 18 to 34 living with their parents was greaterthan that of their female counterparts.38.The percentage of young people who are married or live with a partner has greatlydecreased in the past three decades or so.39.Around the mid-20th century, only 20 percent of 18- to 34-year-old lived in theirparents’h ome.40.Young adults with a college degree found it easier to live independently of theirparents.41.Young men are less likely to end up as single parents than young women.42.More young adult women live with their parents than before due to delayedmarriage.43.The percentage of young men who live with their parents has grown due to theirdecreased pay in recent decades.44.The rise in the number of college students made more young adults live with theirparents.45.One reason for young adults to live with their parents is that get married late orstay single all their lives.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by somequestions 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 letteron Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.According to the majority of Americans, women are every bit as capable of beinggood political leaders as men. The same can be said of their ability to dominate thecorporate boardroom. And according to a new Pew Research Center survey on womenand leadership, most Americans find women indistinguishable from men on keyleadership traits such as intelligence and capacity for innovation, with many sayingthey’r e stronger than men in terms of being passionate and organized leaders.So why, then, are women in short supply at the top of government and business in the United States? According to the public, at least, i’t s not that they lack toughness,management talent or proper skill sets.It’s also not all about work-life balance. Although economic research andprevious survey findings have shown that career interruptions related to motherhoodmay make it harder for women to advance in their careers and compete for topexecutive jobs, relatively few adults in the recent survey point to this as a key barrierfor women seeking leadership roles. Only about one-in-five say women’s family responsibilities are a major reason why there aren’t more females in top leadershippositions in business and politics.Instead, topping the list of reasons, about four-in-ten Americans point to a doublestandard for women seeking to climb to the highest levels of either politics or business,where they have to do more than their male counterparts to prove themselves. Similarshares say the electorate选(民)and corporate America are just not ready to put morewomen in top leadership positions.As a result, the public is divided about whether the imbalance in corporateAmerica will change in the foreseeable future, even though women have made majoradvances in the workplace. While 53% believe men will continue to hold more top executive positions in business in the future, 44% say i’t s only a matter of time before as many women are in top executive positions as men. Americans are less doubtful when it comes to politics: 73% expect to see a female president in their lifetime.46.What do most Americans think of women leaders according to a new Pew Research Center survey?A) They have to do more to distinguish themselves.B) They have to strive harder to win their positions.C) They are stronger than men in terms of willpower.D) They are just as intelligent and innovative as men.47.What do we learn from previous survey findings about women seeking leadership roles?A) They have unconquerable difficulties on their way to success.B) They are lacking in confidence when competing with men.C) Their failures may have something to do with family duties.D) Relatively few are hindered in their career advancement.48.What is the primary factor keeping women from taking top leadership positions according to the recent survey?A) Personality traits.B) Gender bias.C) Family responsibilities.D) Lack of vacancies.49.What does the passage say about corporate America in the near future?A) More and more women will sit in the boardroom.B) Gender imbalance in leadership is likely to change.C) The public is undecided about whether women will make good leaders.D) People have opposing opinions as to whether it will have more women leaders.50.What do most Americans expect to see soon on Americ’s apolitical stage?A) A woman in the highest position of government.B) More and more women actively engaged in politics.C) A majority of women voting for a female president.D) As many women in top government positions as men.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following s p s a a g e.People have grown taller over the last century, with South Korean women shooting up by more than 20cm on average, and Iranian men gaining. 16.5cm. A global study looked at the average height of 18-year-olds in 200 countries 1914 andThe results reveal that while Swedes were the tallest people in the world in 1914,Dutch men have risen from 12th place to claim top spot with an average h eight of51.cm. Latvian women. Meanwhile, rose from 28th place in 1914 to become thetallest in the world a century later, with an average height of 169.8cm.James Bentham, a co-author of the research from Imperial College, London, saysthe global trend is likely to be due primarily to improvements in nutrition andhealthcare.“A n individual ’s genetics has a big influence on their height, but once youaverage over whole populations, genetics plays a less key ro”l e h,e added.A little extra height brings a number of advantages, says Elio Riboli of ImperialCollege. “B eing taller is associatedwith longer life expectancy”,he said. “T his is largely due to a lower risk of dying of cardiovascular( 心血管的 )disease among tallerpeople.”But while height has increased around the world, the trend in many countries ofnorth and sub-Saharan Africa causes concern, says Riboli. While height increased inUganda and Niger during the early 20th century, the trend has reversed in recent years,with height decreasing among 18-year-olds.“O ne reason for these decreases in height is the economic situation in the 198”0s,said Alexander Moradi of the University of Sussex. The nutritional and health crisesthat followed the policy of structural adjustment, he says, led to many children andteenagers failing to reach their full potential in terms of height.Bentham believe the global trend of increasing height has important implications. “H ow tall we are now is strongly influenced by the environment we grew up in, ”hesaid.“I f we give children the best possible start in life now, they will be healthier andmore productive for decades to come”.2014. What does the global study tell us about peop’l e s height in the last hundred years?A) There is a remarkable difference across continents.B) There has been a marked increase in most countries. C) Theincrease in people’s height has been quickening.D) The increase in women’s height is bigger than in men’s.52. What does James Bentham say about genetics in the increase of peo’s plheeight?A) It counts less than generally thought.B) It outweighs nutrition and healthcare.C) It impacts more on an individual than on population.D) It plays a more significant role in females than in males.53.What does Elio Riboli say about taller people?A) They tend to live longer.B) They enjoy an easier life.C) They generally risk fewer fatal diseases.D) They have greater expectations in life.54.What do we learn about 18-year-olds in Uganda and Niger?A) They grow up slower than their peers in other countries.B) They are actually shorter than their earlier generations.C) They find it hard to bring their potential into full play.D) They have experienced many changes of government55. What does James Bentham suggest we do?A) Watch closely the global trend in children’s development.B) Make sure that our children grow up to their full height.C) Try every means possible to improve our environment.D) Ensure our children grow up in an ideal environment.Part ⅣTranslation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passagefrom Chinese into English.

In the 1850s, she saw many problems in her country and wanted to do something about them. One of these problems was that women did not have the right to vote in the United States. Susan Anthony and many others felt that women and men should have equal rights. In 1869she helped start the National Women's Association. This group worked hard to get women the right to vote in the United States.In 1869, the state of Wyoming gave women the right to vote. Some other states also allowed women to vote. But Susan Anthony and the National American Women's Association Wanted all women to have the right to vote. They worked to add this to the constitution of the United States. Finally, in 1920, fourteen years after Susan Anthony’s death, an article was added to the Constitution. It gave all American women the right to vote.Questions 11 to 14 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. What did Susan Anthony think about her country?12. Who among the American women had the right to vote before 1920?13. When did all women finally get the right to vote in the United States?14. What do we learn about Susan Anthony from the passage?Passage TwoJohn Steinbeck is one of America's greatest writers. Many of his novels and short stories are about people with troubles and problems. "Travels with Charley" is different; it's a book about traveling around the United States. John Steinbeck and Charley traveled together from New York to Maine and then to the Midwest. From the Midwest, they went west to California. On their way back east, they visited Texas. Finally, John and Charley traveled through the South, and back up north to New York.John Steinbeck's journey took three months to complete. When he got home, he wrote about what he saw and heard when he crossed the country. He decided that Americans were wonderful people, and that the United States was full of peaceful towns, great cities, huge mountains, and beautiful parks. Charley seemed to enjoy the trip, although he didn't say or write anything. You might wonder why charley had no ideas about America. The reason is: he was John Steinbeck's dog, a big black dog.Questions 15 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.15. What are most of Steinbeck's books about?16. What does the passage tell us about Steinbeck?Passage ThreeIn the local newspaper of my community recently, there was a story about a man named Virgil Spears. He lived in a small town about 40 miles from my home. He had served five years in a New York prison for robbing a restaurant. When he returned to his family, Mr. Spears couldn't find a job. Everyone knew he had been in prison and nobody trusted him. Finally, in desperation, he calmly walked into a local barbershop where he was well known, pulled out a gun, and took all the money the barber had. Up to this point it had been a fairly routine crime, but then something unusual happened. Mr. Spears didn't try to get away. He got into his car, drove slowly out of town, and waited for the police. When they caught him, hemade only one request. He turned to the arresting policemen and said: "Would you please ask the court to put my family on welfare just as soon as possible?"Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.17. What made it difficult for Virgil Spears to find a job?18. Why did Virgil Spears rob the local barbershop?19. What did Mr. Spears do after he robbed the barbershop?20.

The large and harmonious families were once very enviable. The four generation family used to be very common, in the past. As a result of this tradition, many young people continue to live with their parents after marriage. Today, the tradition is changing. With the improvement of housing conditions, An increasing number of young couples choose to live apart from their parents. But the connection between them remains strong. And many old people still have to look after their grandchildren. Young couples also get around to visit their parents，especially during the holidays, such as the spring festival and Mid-autumn Festival.资料来源于网络，大学生资源共享平台收集整理。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choicesmarked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and markthe corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through thecenter.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids (小行星) now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists.Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids (流星) that race across the night sky. Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don’t threaten us. But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.Buy $50 million worth of new telescopes right now. Then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks. By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we’ll have a way to change its course.Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons. But the cost wouldn’t be cheap.Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk re: 1) How likely the event is; and 2) How bad the consequences if the event occurs. Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years. Sounds pretty rare—but if one did fall, it would be the end of the world. “If we don’t take care of these big asteroids, they’ll take care of us,” says one scientist. “It’s that simple.”The cure, though, might be worse than the disease. Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday (毁灭性的) rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them,” said a New York Times article.21. What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids?A) They are heavenly bodies different in composition.B) They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.C) There are more asteroids than meteoroids.D) Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids.22. What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth?A) It is very unlikely but the danger exists.B) Such a collision might occur once every 25 years.C) Collisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected.D) It’s still too early to say whether such a collision might occur.23. What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter thecourses of asteroids?A) It sounds practical but it may not solve the problem.B) It may create more problems than it might solve.C) It is a waste of money because a collision of asteroids with Earth is very unlikely.D) Further research should be done before it is proved applicable.24. We can conclude from the passage that ________.A) while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the worldB) asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near futureC) the worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely tohappen in our lifetimeD) workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids withEarth25. Which of the following best describes the author’s tone in this passage?A) Optimistic.B) Critical.C) Objective.D) Arbitrary.Passage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 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 stripes, 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 for Traffic 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 in 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 bars.Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway sped and the number of traffic accidents.26. The passage mainly discusses ________.A) a new way of highway speed controlB) a new pattern for painting highwaysC) a new approach to training driversD) a new type of optical illusion27. On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that ________.A) they should avoid speed-related hazardsB) they are driving in the wrong laneC) they should slow down their speedD) they are approaching the speed limit28. The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former________.A) can keep drivers awakeB) can cut road accidents in halfC) will have a longer effect on driversD) will look more attractive29. The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to________.A) try out the Japanese method in certain areasB) change the road signs across the countryC) replace straight, horizontal bars with chevronsD) repeat the Japanese road patterns30. What does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads?A) They are falling out of use in the United States.B) They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of time.C) They are applicable only on broad roads.D) They cannot be applied successfully to traffic circles.Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Amtrak (美国铁路客运公司) was experiencing a downswing in ridership (客运量) along the lines comprising its rail system. Of major concern to Amtrak and its advertising agency DDB Needham, were the long-distance western routes where ridership had been declining significantly.] At one time, trains were the only practical way to cross the vast areas of the west. Trains were fast, very luxurious, and quite convenient compared toother forms of transportation existing at the time. However, times change and the automobile became America’s standard of convenience. Also, air travel had easily established itself as the fastest method of traveling great distances. Therefore, the task for DDB Needham was to encourage consumers to consider other aspects of train travel in order to change their attitudes and increase the likelihood that trains would be considered for travel in the west.Two portions of the total market were targeted: 1) anxious fliers—those concerned with safety, relaxation, and cleanliness and 2) travel-lovers—those viewing themselves as relaxed, casual, and interested in the travel experience as part of their vacation. The agency then developed a campaign that focused on travel experiences such as freedom, escape, relaxation, and enjoyment of the great western outdoors. It stressed experiences gained by using the trains and portrayed western train trips as wonderful adventures.Advertisements showed pictures of the beautiful scenery that could be enjoyed along some of the more famous western routes and emphasized the romantic names of some of these trains (Empire Builder, etc.). These ads were strategically placed among family-oriented TV shows and programs involving nature and America in order to most effectively reach target audiences. Results were impressive. The Empire Builder, which was focused on in one ad, enjoyed a 15 percent increase in profits on its Chicago to Seattle route.31. W hat’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A) To show the inability of trains to compete with planes with respect to speed andconvenience.B) To stress the influence of the automobile on America’s standard of convenience.C) To emphasize the function of travel agencies in market promotion.D) To illustrate the important role of persuasive communication in changingconsumer attitudes.32. It can be inferred from the passage that the drop in Amtrak ridership was due to thefact that ________.A) trains were not suitable for short distance passenger transportationB) trains were not the fastest and most convenient form of transportationC) trains were not as fast and convenient as they used to beD) trains could not compete with planes in terms of luxury and convenience33. To encourage consumers to travel by train, DDB Needham emphasized ________.A) the freedom and convenience provided on trainsB) the practical aspects of train travelC) the adventurous aspects of train tripsD) the safety and cleanliness of train trips34. The train ads were placed among family-oriented TV programs involving nature andAmerica because ________.A) they could focus on meaningful travel experiencesB) they could increase the effectiveness of the TV programsC) their profits could be increased by some 15 percentD) most travel-lovers and nervous fliers were believed to be among the audiences35. According to the passage, the Empire Builder enjoyed an increase in ridership andprofits because ________.A) the attractiveness of its name and route was effectively advertisedB) it provided an exciting travel experienceC) its passengers could enjoy the great western outdoorsD) it was widely advertised in newspapers and magazines in Chicago and Seattle Passage FourQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Why does cram go bad faster than butter? Some researchers think they have the answer, and it comes down to the structure of the food, not its chemical composition—a finding that could help rid some processed foods of chemical preservatives.Cream and butter contain pretty much the same substances, so why cream should sour much faster has been a mystery. Both are emulsions—tiny globules (小球体) of one liquid evenly distributed throughout another. The difference lies in what’s in the globules and what’s in the surrounding liquid, says Brocklehurst, who led the investigation.In cream, fatty globules drift about in a sea of water. In butter, globules of a watery solution are locked away in a sea of fat. The bacteria which make the food go bad prefer to live in the watery regions of the m ixture. “This means that in cream, the bacteria are free to grow throughout the mixture,” he says.When the situation is reversed, the bacteria are locked away in compartments (隔仓室) buried deep in the sea of fat. Trapped in this way, individual colonies cannot spread and rapidly run out of nutrients (养料). They also slowly poison themselves with their waste products. “In butter, you get a self-limiting system which stops the bacteria growing,” says Brocklehurst.The researchers are already working with food companies keen to see if their products can be made resistant to bacterial attack through alterations to the food’s structure. Brocklehurst believes it will be possible to make the emulsions used in salad cream, for instance, more like that in butter. The key will be to do this while keeping the salad cream liquid and not turning it into a solid lump.36. The significance of Brocklehurst’s research is that ________.A) it suggested a way to keep some foods fresh without preservativesB) it discovered tiny globules in both cream and butterC) it revealed the secret of how bacteria multiply in cream and butterD) it found that cream and butter share the same chemical composition37. According to the researchers, cream sours fast than butter because bacteria________.A) are more evenly distributed in creamB) multiply more easily in cream than in butterC) live on less fat in cream than in butterD) produce less waste in cream than in butter38. According to Brocklehurst, we can keep cream fresh by ________.A) removing its fatB) killing the bacteriaC) reducing its water contentD) altering its structure39. The word “colonies” (Line 2, Para. 4) refers to ________.A) tiny globulesB) watery regionsC) bacteria communitiesD) little compartments40. Commercial application of the research finding will be possible if salad cream canbe made resistant to bacterial attack ________.A) by varying its chemical compositionB) by turning it into a solid lumpC) while keeping its structure unchangedD) while retaining its liquid formPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 minutes)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.
