二、阅读理解Many people go to school to receive an education. They learn languages, history, physics, chemistry, and math. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet, no one can learn everything from school.A teacher, no matter how much he knows, cannot teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher's job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.It is more important to know how to study by oneself than to know only some facts or formulas (公式). It is in fact quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in math. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem. Great scientists before us didn't get everything from school. Their teachers only showed them the way. But they were all so successful and invented so many things for us. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school and they asked many questions. They worked hard all their lives, never wasting time. Above all, they knew how to use their brain.6.A student learns new things from school only.A.TB.F答案:B7.A teacher should teach his students how to learn.A.TB.F答案:A8.Great scientists learned everything from school.A.TB.F答案:B9.The sentence "Their teachers only showed them the way" means that their teachers taught them how to learn.A.TB.F答案:A10.The text talks about the importance of schooling.A.TB.F答案:B答案:BABAB很多人去学校接受教育。

They studied in the same class and the same interest in physics brought them together and they became good friends. Before long they fell in love. In 1903 when Einstein was 24, he married Marits, who was 4 years older than he.After their marriage, Einstein devoted himself to the research of the great theory. To give her husband more help, Marits gave up her own work, and became a good wife and assistant. She tried her best to encourage him whenever possible. She was sure that her husband would succeed. They often discussed the theory while walking outside or sitting together in the room. They evendid that in their letters when one of them was away from their home.In 1914, Einstein moved to Berlin and settled down there. At that time his theory proved to be correct and he had become famous all over the world. But it was not long before the First World War broke out. Marits as well as her two sons, who was on holiday in Switzerland couldn't come back to Berlin any more. The war not only stopped Einstein's work but also broke up the warm happy family. In 1919 Einstein and Marits had to get divorced (离婚).6.From this passage we can see that Marits was 27 when married.A.TB.F答案:B7.We can learn from the passage that Marits was also a great scientist.A.TB.F答案:B8.The last paragraph mainly tells us why Einstein and Marits got divorced.A.TB.F答案:A9.Einstein and Marits got divorced because Marits didn't love Einstein after the war broke out.A.TB.F答案:B10.The writer wanted to tell us that we should remember Marits when talking about Einstein's theory.A.TB.F答案:AIn the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A person, who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.11.What is the main idea of this passage? ________A.It is not customary to telephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S.B.The role of time in social life over the world.C.If people are late, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the U.S.D.Not every country treats the concept of time as the same.答案:B12.What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours? _______A.A matter of work.B.A matter of life or death.C.You want to see him or her.D.You want to make an appointment with him or her.答案:B13.Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend in the U.S. A.?A.at 7:00 amB.at 4:00 pmC.at the midnightD.at 4 am答案:B14.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? ________A.In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.B.No misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures about the concept of time.C.It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in the U.S.A..D.Promptness is valued highly in American life.答案:D15.From the passage we can safely infer that _______A.it’s a matter of life or death if you call someone in day time.B.the meaning of time differs in different parts of the world.C.it makes no difference in the U.S. whether you are early or late for a business party.D.if a person is late for a date, he needn’t make some explanation.答案:B三、词汇与语法16.What's the weather forecast ______ tomorrow?A.forB.toC.withD.of答案:A17.The reason I didn't go to Canada was _______ a new job.A.because I gotB.how I gotC.that I gotD.why I got答案:C18.My parents are teachers.

When he was young, he was strongly influenced by Thoreau and Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi's idea of non-violent resistance. Having received a Ph. D (Doctor of Philosophy) from Boston University, he became a political and religious leader of the non-violent civil relights movement in 20XXXX55. On August 28,20XXXX0XX3, he led over 250,000 Americans on a march in Washington D.C. to fight for the Civil Rights Law to guarantee equality for all people, and delivered his best known speech "I Have a Dream" before the Lincoln Memorial. The "dream" is a dream of brotherly love and equality for the Black and White. Thus, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for peace in 20XXXX0XX4, but he was murdered four years later.Though he died, he was greatly respected and loved by the Americans, both the white and the black. By vote of Congress in 20XXXX0XX8, the third Monday of every January is now a federal holiday in Luther King's honor. He lives in people's hearts forever.(1)、Martin Luther King was murdered when he was 39 years old.A:TB:F答案: A(2)、Martin Luther King was a black minister only.A:TB:F答案: B(3)、Martin Luther King's Day has been a federal holiday for more than 40 years. A:TB:F答案: A(4)、The underlined word "delivered" in the second paragraph could be replaced by "gave".A:TB:F答案: A(5)、The best title for this passage is "Civil Rights Law".A:TB:F答案: B2、It has been reported that in colleges across the United States, the daytime serial drama known as the soap opera has suddenly become "in". Between the hours of 20XXXX a.m. and 4:30 pm, college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can't wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they're a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 20XXXX0XX0's, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people's lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Young people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.(1)、What is soap opera?A:Plays based on science fiction stories.B:Plays based on non-fiction stories.C:The daytime serial dramas on TV.D:Popular documentary films on TV.答案: C(2)、What can be the best title of the passage?A:College student viewers.B:Favorite TV serials.C:Soap opera fans.D:College-age viewers.答案: C(3)、Which is NOT the reason why the soap opera has suddenly become "in" among American young people ?A:Because the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves.B:Because the soap opera makes young people feel close to their people. C:Because the viewers can find themselves in the soap opera characters. D:Because the young people have to bear the responsibilities for their troubles.答案: D(4)、What can we learn from the passage? _________A:College students like soap operas more than any other social groups. B:Young people of sixties liked soap operas more than people today.C:young viewers have turned themselves from the seriousness of sixties to enjoyment now.D:The young as a whole are trying to look for happy love but in vain.答案: C(5)、What message does the author want to convey to us? _________A:The people's favorites to drama works have been changed for a long time. B:The people's favorites to drama works change along with the times.C:The people's favorites to drama works is changed by the soap opera.D:The people's favorites have changed the drama works.答案: B三、词汇与语法1、Helen was seriously injured in a car ______.A:incidentB:accidentC:eventD:matter答案: B2、Picking apples was hard work, ________ they really enjoyed it.A:andB:soC:butD:or答案: C3、We often get ______when people cut in line.A:annoyingB:annoyedC:to annoyD:annoy答案: B4、Both the kids and their parents ______ English, I think.

China has more cyclists than any other country in the world.Because the roads are so crowded with bicycles, it is very important for cyclists to remember the traffic rules and regulations.Before you ride your bicycle on the roads, you must register it and get a number for it. This number will be on a plate on your bicycle. Also, the traffic authorities will want to check the bicycle to make sure that it is in good condition.Young children may not ride bicycles in the streets, because there is so much traffic that is dangerous. A cyclist must keep at least one hand on the handlebars at all times, and a bicycle may not carry more than one adult person.On which side of the road should you ride? On the right, of course! If youride on the left of the road, against the traffic, you may cause an accident. Like the driver of a car or bus, you must follow all traffic signs and signals. Everybody knows that you must not turn left or go straight across at a red traffic light. Usually you can turn right, but you must check first to make sure that the road is clear.If you want to turn or stop, you must give a signal to the cyclists who are riding behind you. Give a signal with your hand at least ten meters before you turn or stop. When you ride past a parked car, you must be careful in case the door opens suddenly or the car starts and drives out in front of you. Remember these rules and regulations when you ride your bicycle, and help to keep China's roads safe.6.It is important for cyclists in China to remember the traffic rules because the roads are crowded with bicycles.A.TB.F7.Before you take your bicycle out on the roads you must check the condition of the authorities.

He rented a cottage in the country, although he rarely spent much time there. The cottage, however, had no comfortable furniture in it, many of the windows were broken and the roof leaked, making the whole house damp.On our first evening, we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories our uncle had had to tell of his many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to bed, but I could not bear to miss any of my uncle’s exciting tales.He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had, when there was a loud crash from the bedroom above, the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.“It sounds as if the roof has fallen in!” shouted my uncle, with a loud laugh.When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door, a strange sight met oureyes. A large part of the ceiling had collapsed (), falling right on to the pillow of my bed. I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle’s stories, otherwise I should certainly have been seriously injured, perhaps killed.That nigh we all slept on the floor of the sitting room downstairs not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a roof which might at any moment collapse on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for, either!31. What does the writer say about his uncle during the war?A、He made a lot of money.B、He enjoyed many of his adventures.C、He had a lot of adventures.D、He fought as a soldier.32. When did the story most likely happen?A、In the spring.B、In the summer.C、In the fall.D、In the winter.33. Why did the writer wish to go to bed at first?A、He thought his uncle’s stories would be boring.B、He was really tired from the long journey.C、He had the habit of going to bed early.D、His uncle’s stories made him sleepy.34. Why was the writer glad after the accident?A、He realized he would have a good sleep.B、He had heard many exciting stories.C、He had a narrow escape from death.D、He had experienced a great adventure.35. What did the writer’s uncle most likely do with the cottage after the accident?A、He bought it and had it repaired.B、He gave it to his neighbors.C、He sold it to others.D、He returned it to the landlord.Passage TwoQuestions 36 to 40are based on the following passage:Insurance is the sharing of risks. Nearly everyone is exposed to risks of some sort. The house owner, for example, knows that his property can be damaged by fire; the ship owner knows that his vessel may be lost at sea; the father knows that he may die at an early age and leave his family the poorer. On the other hand, not every house is damaged by fire, nor every vessel lost at sea. If these persons each put a small sum into a pool, there will be enough to meet the needs of the few who do suffer loss. In other words, the losses of the few are met from the contributions of the many. This is the basis of insurance. Those who pay the contributions are known as “insured” and those who control the pool of contributions as “insurer”.Not all risks lend themselves to being covered by insurance. Broadly speaking, the ordinary risks of business cannot be covered. The risk that buyers will not buy goods at the prices offered is not a kind that can be estimated in numbers and risks can only be insured against if they can be estimated.The legal basis of all insurance is the “policy”. This is a printed form of contract on thick paper of the best quality. It states that in return for regular payment by the insured of a named sum of money, called the “premium”, which is usually paid every year, the insurer will pay a sum of money for loss, if the risk or event insured against actually happens.36. Why does the writer mention the father in the passage?A、The writer uses the father as an example to illustrate his point.B、The writer believes the father knows better than the mother.C、The writer wants to persuade the father to buy insurance.D、The writer wishes to set an example for fathers.37. Which of the following can be covered by insurance?A、All risks of business.B、All houses damaged by fire.C、Goods with clearly marked prices.D、Things whose values can be estimated.38. What do insurers firmly believe?A、People don’t like to spend their money.B、No one can avoid any risks.C、Almost all people trust insurance.D、Most people like to help others.39. What does “premium” (Para.3)most probably mean in the passage?A、The money paid by the insured.B、A printed form of contract.C、The money paid for the loss.D、The contributions of insurers.40. What is the main idea of the passage?A、Insurance is a way of sharing risks among people.B、Insurance has a solid legal basis.C、Only a few people suffer loss in their daily life.D、Insurance is not worth buying.Passage ThreeQuestions 41 to 46 are based on the following passage:Kate, a student in 8th grade, asked lots of questions in math class—until the teacher told her to stop. “He said I was confusing the other kids with my questions,” she recalls. “When boys asked questions, he took them a lot more seriously.”You might have thought that such obvious forms of discrimination (歧视)had ended by now. But Esther Green glass, a psychology professor at York University in Toronto, says many recent studies have found that girls may still be faced with mixed messages about self-confidence and success, which can lower their self-esteem and discourage them from achieving their potential.The problem worsens at about age 11 or 12, when girls start hitting puberty (青春期)and discovering boys. Many girls’ grades drop, and so does their self-esteem. “Girls get the message that, if you’re going to be popular, you can’t be too smart because the boys won’t like you,” says Green glass, who has written extensively on sex roles and discrimination.Often, girls also sense that boys are considered more capable. In studies in the United States, researchers found that when teachers asked questions, they almost always made eye con?tact with boys, unless they had attended courses raising their level of awareness. Adding to the problem, according to Green glass, is the lack of female role models in old textbooks still found in many Canadian schools.How are girls’ attitudes affected? Studies have shown that boys usually attribute their success to their superior ability, while girls attribute their own success to luck. When boys fail at a task, they tend to blame it on external factors; when girls fail, they blame their own lack of ability. Boys are more likely to try a second time to succeed.41. The first paragraph intends to tell us that _______.A、girls usually ask more questions than boys in classB、girls often confuse teachers with many questionsC、teachers tend to give much more attention to boysD、teachers believe that boys ask more serious questions42. Findings by Professor Esther Greenglass indicate that _______.A、sex discrimination in schools has disappeared in CanadaB、Canadian school girls are more self-confident than boysC、school girls in Canada are confused about their rolesD、in Canada girls and boys achieve equal success at school43. Researchers in the United States found that when teachers asked questions, _______.A、they would first turned to boys for answersB、they wanted to raise the awareness of boysC、boys responded to them ImmediatelyD、girls avoided eye contact with teachers44. We can learn from the passage that girls' lack of self-confidence has led to _______.A、their misjudgment of their own success and failureB、boys’ misunderstanding of their superiorityC、their inability to achieve academic successD、boys’ blaming external factors for their failu res45. What is the best title of the passage?A、Male and Female Role Models.B、Puberty and Sex Difference.C、Girls, Boys, and Success.D、Sex Roles and Discrimination.Part III Fill in the blanks (选择填空)((每小题1分,共10分))46.

For each question there are four sug gested answers marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the best answe r and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 26-30 are based on Passage One:Go ahead, laugh. It’s strong medicine, r esearchers are learning. Even the physical act is good for you, says William Fry, professor at Stanford University and pioneer in laughter research. It increases b lood flow and contracts abdominal muscles. But the benefits go beyond a workout. The most ast onishing evidence of laughter’s power comes from a 1997 study of 48 heart-attack patients. Half-watched comedy sh ows for 30 minutes every day; the rest served as controls. After a ye ar, ten patients in the control group had suffered repeat heart attac ks, compared with only two in the group that watched the shows.Can a good laugh help patients get well? In an experiment at the Univ ersity of California at Los Angeles, called Rx Laughter, scientists p lan to test the effect of laughter in children with serious illnesses, including cancer. Early results suggest that funny videos help kids handle uncomfortable or painful procedures.Justin Ybarra, 13, already knows that. He was in considerable pain wh en he woke up from surgery --- until Bill Marx, a volunteer for Rx La ughter, appeared at his bedside. Marx told jokes, made faces and danc ing around the hospital room. “Having something to laugh at took my mind off the pain,” says Justin. “When you’re laughing, you can’t help but feel better.”26. The author implies that ________.A) a good laugh helps one recoverB) funny videos help patients get wellC) children are fond of jokes and funny moviesD) even there’s nothing to laugh at, the act of laughing benefits27. RX Laughter is the name of ________.A) a kind of laughter B) a scientific labC) an experiment D) a laughter research center28. Laughter benefits the patients because ________.A) it makes them stronger B) it can cure their illnessesC) it help them recover more quickly D) it controls their blood flo w29. Justin said laughter could make him ________.A) exercise his abdominal muscle B) have a better appetiteC) excited and happy D) forget the pain from the surgery30. The main idea of the passage is ________.A) researchers are doing experiments on laughterB) laughing is good medicine for the patientsC) patients usually prefer comedies to tragediesD) children all like clowns very muchQuestions 31-35 are based on Passage Two:Under proper conditions, sound waves will be reflected from a hil lside or other such obstruction. Sound travels at the rate of about o ne fifth of a mile per second. If the hill is eleven hundred feet awa y, it takes two seconds for the sound to travel to the hill and back. Thus, by timing the interval between a sound and its reflection (the echo), you can estimate the distance to an obstruction.During World War II the British used a practical application of this principle to detect German planes on their way to bomb London long be fore the enemy was near the target. They used radio waves instead of sound waves, since radio waves can penetrate fog and clouds. The outn umbered Royal Air Force (RAF) always seemed to the puzzled Germans to be lying in wait at the right time and never to be surprised. It was radio echoes more than anything else that won the battle of Britain. Since the radio waves were used to tell the direction in which to send the RAF planes and the distance to send them (Their range of light, in other words), the device was called radio directing and ranging, and from the initials the word radar (雷达) was coined.31. Sound waves reflected from a hill can be used to estimate the ___ _____.A) height of the hill B) speed of soundC) distance to the hill D) intensity of sound32. The estimate is based on the ________.A) direction of the hill B) accepted speed of soundC) interval between sound and echo D) both B and C33. Practical application of this principle resulted in ________.A) new electronic instruments for planesB) a radio directing and ranging deviceC) new radio sets for RAF bomberD) an electronic detecting device34. Radar enabled the English to ________.A) detect German planes on their way to LondonB) direct the outnumbered RAF planes effectivelyC) confuse German bomber pilotD) both A and B35. The British used radio waves because they ________.A) were more exact than sound waves B) could not be detectedC) could penetrate fog and clouds D) were easier to use than sound wavesQuestions 36-40 are based on Passage Three:Some psychologists maintain that mental acts such as thinking are not performed in the brain alone, but that one’s muscles also parti cipate. It may be said that we think with our muscles in somewhat the same way that we listen to music with our bodies.You surely are not surprised to be told that you usually listen to mu sic not only with your ears but with your whole body. Few people can listen to music that is more or less familiar without moving their bo dy or, more specifically, some part of their body. Often when one lis tens to a symphonic (交响乐) concert on the radio, he is tempted to d irect the orchestra even though he knows there is a competent conduct or on the job.Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it. One cannot derive all possible enjoyment from music unless he partici pates, so to speak, in its performance. The listener “feels” himsel f into the music with more or less pronounced motions of his body. The muscles of the body actually participate in the mental process ofthinking in the same way, but this participation is less obvious bec ause it is less pronounced.36. Some psychologists maintain that thinking is ________.A) not a mental processB) more of a physical process than a mental actionC) a process that involves our entire bodiesD) a process that involves the muscles as well as the brain37. The process of thinking and that of listening are similar in that ________.A) both are mental actsB) muscles participate in both processesC) both processes are performed by the entire bodyD) we derive equal enjoyment from them38. The pronounced body motions are a listener’s way of ________.A) “feeling” the musicB) participating in the performanceC) deriving enjoyment from the musicD) all of the above39. Body movements are necessary in order for the listener to _______ _.A) hear the music B) appreciate the musicC) enjoy the music fully D) completely understand the music40. According to selection, muscle participation in the process of th inking is ________.A) deliberate B) obvious C) not readily apparent D) very pronounced Questions 41-45 are based on Passage Four:Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab trave ler in India in the year 900 wrote that it was played “long, long ag o”. Chess was probably invented in India, and it has been played eve rywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name “chess” is intere sting. When one player is attacking the other’s king, he says, in En glish, “check”. When the king has been caught and cannot move anywh ere, he says “check mate”. These words come from Persian. “Shah ma t” means “the king is dead”. That is when the game is over, and on e player has won.Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as they are now. For example, at one time the queen could on ly move one square at a time. Now she is the strongest piece on the b oard. It would be interesting to know why this has happened! Chess ta kes time and thought, but it is a game for all kinds of people. You d on’t have to be a champion in order to enjoy it. It is not always played by two people sitting at the same table. The first time the Amer icans beat the Russians was in a match played by radio. Some of the c hess masters are able to play many people at the same time. The recor d was when one man played 400 games! It is said that some people play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.41. Which of the following is known to be TRUE?A) Chess is an old Indian traveling game.B) Chess is the oldest game in the world.C) Chess was played in Japan and Europe before 1400.D) Chess was played in India long before 900.42. One player has won the game when ________.A) he attacks the other player’s kingB) he says some Persian wordsC) the other player’s king can not move anywhereD) he says “check” to the oth er player43. Which of the following will you hear when one player has won the game?A) “Shah mat”. B) “Check”. C) “The king is dead”. D) “Check mate”.44. Which of the following is NOT correct?A) All kinds of people can play chess.B) Only two people sitting at the same table can play chess.C) Some people write to each other while playing chess.D) The Russians lost the game played by radio.45. According to the old rules of the game, ________.A) the queen was the strongest piece on the boardB) the king had to be attacked all the timeC) the queen could move no more than one square at a timeD) the king could not move anywherePart III Vocabulary and Structure (15 points 1×0.5)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that s uch uncomfortable feelings must negatively affect people. A person’s conception of himself or herself is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselve s has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem, are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.” Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their feelings of inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleased by compliment with a statement like this one, “You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.” It is clear that while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient efforts in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with a lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths.Each one of us is a unique, worthwhile individual, interested in our own personal ways. The better we understand ourselves, the easier it becomes to live up to our full potential. Let’s not allow shyness to block our chances for a rich and fulfilling life.11.What does the author try to prove by citing “what kind of impression am I making?” (Para.1)__________A.Shy people benefit from their caring about their appearance.B.People’s shyness make them care too much about their appearance and actions.C.It’s natural that shy people don’t believe other’s compliments.D.Shy people think they are different from others.答案:B12.According to the writer, self-awareness is __________.A.a good qualityB.the cause of unhappinessC.harmful to peopleD.a weak point of shy people答案:A13.That shy people react to a compliment in such a way is ___________.A.goodB.unrealC.very reasonableD.harmful答案:D14.Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage? _________A.Shyness helps us to develop our potentialB.Shyness enables us to understand ourselves betterC.Shyness can block our chances for a rich lifeD.Shyness has nothing to do with lack of self-esteem答案:C15.It can be inferred from the passage that shy people ________.A.should find more of their weaknessB.should understand themselves in the right wayC.had better ignore their weaknessD.can get rid of their shyness while maintaining low self-esteem答案:B三、词汇与语法16.The scientists are ____ a series of experiments to learn more about how the body adapts to weightlessness.A.definingB.havingC.carryingD.doing答案:D17.The traveler, ________ inexperienced, doesn't know how to plan a trip.A.to beB.beingC.isD.as being答案:B18.I don’t know the park, but it's______ to be quite beautiful.A.saidB.toldC.spokenD.talked答案:A19.She wonders ____will happen to her private life in the future.A.thatB.itC.thisD.what答案:D20.Tom ________ more than twenty pounds on the novel.A.spentB.paidC.costD.took答案:A四、完型填空There is an old saying that husbands and wives start to look and behave like each other after a time.I don't know if this was true of my mother and father.Both of my parents had brown hair and brown eyes and low voices.

Reading Comprehension(30 points)There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four Directions: D. marked A,B,C,and four questions. For each question there are suggested answersChoose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter. Passage OneIn the United States, teaching is very important. If teachers do not teach well, students complain. If many students do not understand, people think that the teacher does not do a good job. The teacher has big responsibility to make sure students understand. In a sense, students are consumers and the teacher is offering services. Students have the right to evaluate their teachers, and they usually do so at the endof each course. That evaluation includes lots of aspects of teaching, such as explanation,preparation, using good examples, answering questions, and organization of classes. Students are supposed to read required textbooks and recommended books before classes. Without reading them, they will find it very difficult to understand the class. Basic courses on doing research and writing papers are taught at the beginning of theprogram. They teach things very concretely(具体地) and clearly. Students areexpectedto apply what they have learned to their studies.Classes are usually divided into lectures and seminars. There are some lecture classes, where the teacher just gives a lecture, and students ask questions at the end. Most graduate level classes are lectures and discussions. Participating in discussionsisvery important. Higher level classes involve very little lecturing. They emphasize discussion and presentation by the students.1.( )According to the passage, good teachers should ___________.A.try to please their students B.treat their students as consumers7卷大学英语试题B make sure their students understand understand their students well D..C)What are students expected to do before attending a class?2.(Understand the textbooks well. BGo over the lessons thoroughly. .A.Prepare on outline for discussion. D.C.Do the reading assignments.)When a program starts, students should first __________. 3.(learn how to do research and write papers. A.have some learning experience B..learn about the course concretely and clearly Cknow how to participate in discussions..D)Higher level classes are taught mainly through ________. 4.(giving a lot of lectures to students A.involving students in discussions .Basking students questions in class .C .answering students' questions in classD) Students in higher level classes spend much time______. 5.(A.listening to the teacher's lecturesB.answering the teacher's questionsC.discussing and presenting their ideasD.reading different books and taking notes Passage TwoFares and schedules are always changing. Travel information can be seen everywhere on the Internet and there are so many vacation packages waiting for you tochoose. All this can make travel planning confusing and time consuming. To make a choice, tourists and business people often turn to travel agents, who provide them withthe best possible travel arrangements.In general, travel agents give advice on places you should go to, and make arrangements for transportation, hotel accommodations, car rental, sightseeing, and entertainment. They may also tell you about weather conditions, restaurants, and touristsattractions. For international travel, agents also make sure that you have the necessary papers such as passports and visas, and tell you how to go through the customs. They sometimes provide information on money exchange rates.Travel agents will search all kinds of sources for information on departure and arrival times, fares, hotel ratings and accommodations. They may visit hotels and7卷大学英语试题B restaurants to know more. In this way they will be able to provide their customers withmore valuable advice on travel.Travel agents also promote their services, using phones, direct mail and the Internet. They arrange advertising displays for some social groups, and suggest company trips tobusiness managers. Travel agents no longer receive commission from domestic airline,and they face more and more competition from the Internet for low cost fares. In ordersto find a small business in the Market, many travel agents now specialize in travel to certain regions or for certain groups of people, such as honeymooners, grandparents, etc.)This passage mainly tells us ______. 6. (A. what a travel agent's work is all aboutB. the interesting part of travel agents' workC. the difficult part of travel agents' workD. the commission travel agents can get from domestic airlines)Travel agents make arrangements for ______.7.

Reading Comprehension (30’)Passage OneLast week I visit one of my old neighborhoods in Washington D.C. I had not been there for twenty years and as I walked along the street, my mind was flooded by memories of the past. I saw the old apartment building where I had lived and the playground where I had played. As I viewed these once familiar surroundings, images of myself as a child there came to mind. However, what I saw and what I remembered were not the same. I sadly realized that the best memories are those left untouched.My old apartment building, as I remember, was bright and alive. It was more than just a place to live. It was a movie house, a space station, or whatever my young mind could imagine. I would steal away with my friends and play in the basement. This was always exciting because it was cool and dark, and there were so many things there to hide among. There was a small river in the back of the building. We should go there to lie in the shade of trees and enjoy ourselves.However, what I saw was completely different. The apartment building was now in disrepair(失修,破损). What was once more than a place to live looked hardly worth living in. The windows were all broken. The once clean walls were covered with dirty marks. The riverwas hardly recognizable. The water was polluted(污染)and the trees flowers were all dead. The once sweet smelling river now smelled terrible. It was really heartbreaking to see all this.I do not regret(后悔)having seen my old neighborhood. However, I do not think my innocent childhood memories can ever be the same. I suppose it is true when they say,“You can never go home again.”1)In the first two paragraphs of the passage the writer tries to tell usthat_____A.he had lived in Washington D.C for 20 yearsB.he was very imaginative when he was a childC.he had had fond(美好的,喜欢的) memories of hisneighborhoodD.he had come from a very poor neighborhood2)The writer, as a child, was very fond of playing in the basementbecause_______A.It was bright and aliveB.It contained a movie house and a space stationC.It was ideal for playing hide-and –seekD.It was surrounded by trees and flowers3)How did the writer feel when he visited his old neighborhood inWashington D.C?A.Greatly surprisedB.

This time, though, Tracy lost his balance. His head struck the ground, hard.All night, Cory, Tracy’s mother, stood next her son, who was lying in a hospital bed, his brown eyes fixed in a lifeless stare. She that Tracy had once mentioned organ(器官)donation(捐赠). Maybe I can spare another family this pain, she thought. When the time came, she and her husband Bill signed the forms permitting his organs to be donated.Tracy was declared dead the next day. Twenty-four hours later, in a Boston hospital, Tracy’s liver(肝脏) was made part of my husband, David, who was suffering from a hopeless liver disease.Months later, we learned from the local organ bank that the donor’s parents wished desperately meet someone who had gained life through the gift from their son. A meeting was arranged by the organ bank to bring together two families linked by the most bittersweet ties imaginable.The meeting was risky, but worth it. We talked for 3 hours. They showed us a picture of Tracy. We learned for the first time how he had lived and died. We learned something about Bill and Cory, too.For the Marshes, seeing David and knowing he was well seemed to ease their suffering. I will never forget seeing David’s tall figure stoopedover Cory, her arms around his waist, as a mother would hug a son. For a long time, they held each other tight. It was hard to know if she was saying hello or goodbye. Maybe she was saying both.6)We learn from the passage that Tracy died_____A.On December 8,1992B.of brain damageC.24 hours after he fell of the roof of a carD.in a car crash7)Tracy’s parents decided to donate Tracy’s organs because____A.Tracy told them to do so just before he diedB.they wanted to save others the pain of seeing a dear one dieC.David’s life could continue in a meaningful wayD.they knew David was suffering from a hopeless liver disease8)The meeting between the writer’s family and Tracy’s parentswas arranged because_____A.the writer and her husband wished to express their thanks toTracy’s parentsB.the local organ bank wanted to see how both families feltabout the donationC.Tracy’s parents wanted to see somebody whose life hadbeen saved by the donationD.The two families were linked by the most bitterness tiesimaginable9)The writer and her husband learned how Tracy died_____A.from his parentsB.from the organ bankC.from the hospitalD.from the doctor who performed the operation10)The meeting between the two families helped to ease theMarshes’ suffering because_____A.they saw that David looked very much like their sonB.they saw that David had regained health with Tracy’s liverC.they now had someone to share their memories of TracyD.they now knew for sure they had done the right thingPassage ThreeThis story began about 10 years ago. I was coming out of a very bad marriage. For seven long years my husband spent his every waking (醒着的)moment telling me just what was wrong with me. When I finally asked for a divorce, he answered by telling me that I would never find anyone to love me because I was just so unattractive. This went on for about two years. One night one of my friends convinced me to go out with her. We went to a nightclub and that is when I met him.Clint was playing a game with a girl. I sat in the corner watching him. I didn’t feel that I had whatever it took to get up and mixed with others because of my self-esteem(自尊心)problem. Finally I got up the courage to order a drink for him. When he got it, he gave me the most dazzling(感人的)smile. We spent the rest evening talking until I realized that it was almost morning. I figured that he was simply being nice to me because I bought him a drink, but the very next day he called and told me that he could not stop thinking about me and that he wanted to meet my kids too. About three months later, my divorce was final and Clint sat my boys down and asked them if it was all right with them if he asked me to marry him because he could not imagine life without the three of us anymore. I was so touched that he went to my boys and asked for their approval because they were “men of the house” at the ripe old ages of 2 and 4. They said yes and we have all been together ever since. Clint gave me and my boys a second chance at a wonderful life. Not a day goes by that he doesn’t tell us that the best thing that ever happened to him and that he loves us.11)The writer’s first marriage was unsuccessful because____A.her husband often woke her up at midnightB.her husband kept criticizing herC.she was so unattractiveD. she had a self-esteem problem12)When the writer asked for a divorce, her husband_______A.told her that she would never find one who loved her as he didB.delayed 2 years before giving her a replyC.accused her of having an affairD.said that she was unattractive and not worth loving13)When the writer first met Clint, she felt that_____A.she should have listened to her friend and met Clint earlierB.Clint was a nice, dazzling young manC.Clint could not really interested in herD.she would find true love in Clint14)The writer was particularly touched by Clint because____A.he loved her kids and asked their approval of marriageB.he said that he could not imagine life without her and the kidsC.he believed that at 2 and 4, the two kids were the “men ofhouse”D.he kept her company and talked with her until the next morning15)The writer’s marriage to Clint is important to her mainlybecause____A.it gave her and her kids a second chance to live a happy lifeB.every day Clint would tell the writer that he loves herC.it helped her to regain herself respectD.it made her sons happy, which is all she cared about in herlife5.
