Whenever he got a chance,he would ask his dog to amuse his friends with some tricks. One day Ramon went to visit his friend Frank who was sick at home with a bad cold. "How are you feeling?" asked Ramon. "Worse than yesterday," replied Frank."I have a terrible cough, and there's not a drop of medicine in the house.""Cheer up, Frank. I'll send Blackie to the local drugstore for some cough syrup (糖浆). He'll be back in a minute, before you know it." Ramon put a five-dollar bill in Blackie's mouth and the dog ran down the street. "And keep the change," Ramon shouted after him."Oh, Ramon, don't be silly. You know that dog won't be back with any medicine." "Oh yes, he will," replied Ramon. Half an hour later, however, Blackie had not returned. Ramon was feeling embarrassed, and felt angry at his friend's little smile."Something has happened to him, I'm sure," said Ramon. "He obeys me as a rule." Just then Frank saw Blackie at a distance. He hurried to open the door and let him in. Frank was shocked to see a bottle of medicinein the dog's mouth."Good boy," said Ramon, "but what took you so long?" Blackie ran over to the window, barking and wagging (摆动) his tail.

He won't go at a job with the confidence necessary for success. He is therefore 1 to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence.Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had an experience 2 illustrates this. When he was a small boy, he was poor at arithmetic. His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought that they would not expect too much ofhim. 3 this way, they too developed the idea, "Isn't it too bad that Alfred can't do arithmetic?" He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try, and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected.One day Adler succeeded in solving a problem which 4 of the other students had been able to solve. This gave him confidence. He rejected the idea that he couldn't do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could. His new 5 confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit. He now worked with interest, determination, and purpose, and he soon became extraordinarily good at arithmetic.(1)、 A：found B：none C：likely D：In E：which答案： C(2)、A：found B：none C：likely D：In E：which答案： E(3)、A：found B：none C：likely D：In E：which答案： D(4)、A：found B：none C：likely D：In E：which答案： B(5)、A：found B：none C：likely D：In E：which五、英译汉(1)、All that glitters is not gold.闪光的东西，未必都是金子。

电话用语二、阅读理解If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of the year. A noted scientist Ellsworth Huntington ( 1876 - 1937 ) concluded from other men's work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than summer heat is. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking!6.Huntington based his conclusion on work with peoples in different climates.A.TB.F答案：A 第一段第二行Ellsworth Huntington ( 1876 - 1937 ) concluded from other men's work and his own among peoples in different climate7.Ellsworth Huntington decided that climate and temperature have a great effect on everyone's intelligence.A.TB.F答案：B 第一段段尾climate and temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.文中说的是definite“一定的”，并非great，选项过分夸大了气候和温度对人智力的影响，错误。

answered“yes”to any of theabove questions,then you probably won’t beexcited(48)a new Swedish phonecompany that is offering free calls where your calls are repeatedly interrupted by phone ads.(49)the fact that most people despise commercials of any kind,students and the(50)(elder)have proved to be the biggest users in this two-month trial test.These two opposite age groups don’t seem to be bothered by phone interruptions.It makes sense since the young and the old are usually not(51)(employ),making free phone calls a(n)rather attractive offer.What advertisers are(52)gu is a captive audience.Since most ads are only ten seconds long,a caller can’t go to the bathroom because the person at the other end of the line will be kept(53)(wait).Future customers will be asked to provide(54)pe information such as age,sex,address and material status so that different callers might hear different ads.For example,a caller in the rural north might hear an ad for a tractor,while a caller in Stockholm could listen to an ad for a local restaurant.In spite of this sounding wonderfully modern,this is just the kind of thing this writer believes the Swedish(55) (need)have invented.6--Part IV:Reading Comprehension(35marks)Read the following passages.Each passage is followed by several questions.Respond to the questions using information from the passage.Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.Section A（5marks）Questions56-60are based on the following passage.In Europe men don’t usually wear shirts.But theScottish national costume for men is a kind of skirt.Itis called a kilt.The Scottish like to be different.Theyare also proud of their country and its history,andthey feel that the kilt is part of that history.That’swhy the men still wear kilts at old-style dances andon national holidays.They believe they are wearingthe same clothes that Scottish men always used towear.That’s what they believe.However,kilts are not really very old.Before1730,Scottish men wore a long skirt and blanket around their shoulders. These clothes got in the way when the men started to work in factories.So,in1730s a factory owner changed the blanket into a skirt:the kilt.That’s how the first kilt was made. Then in the late1700s Scottish soldiers in the British Army began to wear kilts.One rea-son for this was national feeling:the Scottish soldiers wanted to look different from the English soldiers.The British Army probably had a different reason:a Scottish soldier in a kilt was al-ways easy to find!The Scottish soldiers fought very hard and be-came famous.The kilt was part of the fame,and in the early1800smen all around Scotland began to wear kilts.These kilts had colourful stripes going up and down andacross.In the1700s and early1800s,the colour of the stripes hadno special meaning.Men sometimes owned kilts in several differ-ent colours.But later the colours became important to Scottishfamilies.By about1850,most families had special colours for theirkilts.For example,men from the Campbell family had kilts withgreen,yellow and blue stripes.Scottish people often believe thatthe colours of the kilts are part of their family history.In fact,each family just chose the colours they liked best.This is not the story you will hear today if you are in Scot-7--land.Most Scottish people still believe that kilts are as old as Scotland and that the colours are as old as the Scottish families.Sometimes feelings are stronger than facts.Questions56to60:Mark each statement as either true(T)or false(F)according to the passage.56.The Scottish are so proud of their national costume that they even wear it to work in the factory before1730.57.Dressed in a kilt,the Scottish soldiers always have a sense of superiority over British sol-diers.58.The colors of the kilts are part of the Scottish family history.59.By about1850,the Scottish families had special colours for their kilts.60.Most people in Scotland know the true history of kilts.Section B（10marks）Questions61-65are based on the following passage.How much money do you leave the waiter or waitressin a restaurant?What about taxi drivers,hotel staffand hairdressers?Tipping is complex,but even moreso when you’re abroad.(61)InAustralia,for example,tipping isn’t common at all,and they aren’t really expected in restaurants...oranywhere else as a matter of fact.It’s the same in Iceland and China.And in Japan,it can actually be considered rude to tip in a restaurant.In fact,if you leave money a waiter might even chase you to give it back.In most of Europe,tip-ping a waiter is fairly common.(62)In England,for example,most people tip around 10%of the bill.But in Spain people generally only leave small change.However,if there’s one country where you really should tip,it’s the United States.In stark contrast to Japan,a waiter will probably chase you down the street if you don’t leave a tip!Not only that,but Americans usually tip up to a hefty20%in restaurants.So,if you’re saving up for a big dinner in the US, make sure you take that into account.Americans also tip for drinks.In fact,there are some bars in New York where staff earn such a big money from tips that they receive no wages. (63)Here’s some advice from a travel website on how you should tip in an American hotel:$3for the parking attendant,$2for the doorperson if they hail a taxi for you,and$1for each bag they help you with.The bellhop gets$2per bag,and you should leave the maids$3to$5a day.So,for two people for one weekend that’s about$20 before you’ve even paid for the room.8--(64)Well,in many cases,workers are paid below the minimum wage as they are expected to make up the difference with tips.As a result,a server could earn a decent wage on a good night,or hardly break even on a slow night.Service sector workers are even expected to pay income tax on the tips as they are considered part of their normal wages for the job they do—not just“extra”money.(65)Stained Apron has information on who’s who in the world of tipping.Under the column heading“Scum”,you can find a list of the bad tippers. Those on the list include AL Gore,Dan Quayle and Bridget Fonda.And under“Saints”there’s a list of the generous tippers,which includes Johnny Depp,Ray Charles,Angelina Jolie and Bill Clinton.But could anyone possibly match the late Kerry Packer(the Australian billionaire)?He was always a generous tipper,but on one occasion he casually asked the waitress serving him how big her mortgage was.The tip he left her paid it off to the last penny.Now that really is“saintly tipping”!Of course,make sure you’re a billionaire before trying that one!Questions61-65:Choose from the sentences A-G the one which best fits each gap of61-65. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.A.But why is there so much tipping?B.The problem is that every country seems to have its own unofficial“rules”.C.Why is tipping so common in US?D.There is even a website for celebrity tippers.E.However,amounts vary from country to country.F.How much a waiter can earn largely lies in the generosity of the tipper.G.But it isn’t only in bars and restaurants where you’re supposed to tip.Section C（10marks）Questions66-70are based on the following passage.Pottery is the name given to all kinds of pots andutensils made from clay and other minerals when theyhave been“fired”,that is,hardened by heat in thepotter’s kiln.Articles made of pottery include plates,cups and saucers,cooking dishes,wall and floor tiles,chemical storage jars,electrical insulators andornaments for the home.Pottery is one of the oldest crafts,which began to9--be practiced as soon as man learned to control fire,and long before the melting of metals.It enabled him from very early times to make vessels for storing and cooking food,for carrying water,and for ritual burial purposes.Early vessels were shaped by hand and probably“fired”in a big bonfire by covering them over with dried grass and dead branches,which were then set alight.A great advance in pottery followed the invention of the potter’s wheel and the kiln.It is not certainly known where the potter’s wheel was first used,but it is thought that by about3500 B.C.potters in Central Asia were using some kind of wheel.From there its use spread west and east to Egypt,Crete,China—and then to Ancient Greece and Rome.At first the wheel was nothing more than a small disc,turned on a pivot by hand,but later it was improved by raising it and providing it with a larger circular platform near the ground as well which could be rotated by the potter with his feet.Such a wheel was probably in use in Egypt by about200B.C.,though this is only conjecture;but it was certainly still in use in Europe at the beginning of the nineteenth century.In the eighteenth century,however,the potter’s wheel was improved so that it could be worked by a treadle,or turned by an assistant. Modern potter’s wheels are power driven.There are three principal ways articles may be made of pottery.They may be simply shaped by hand.They may be thrown on the potter’s wheel and shaped against the spin with the fingers or some scraping tool.Thirdly,the wet clay may be put in a pre-shaped“form”of plaster-of-Pairs.After the pots have been made,they are slowly baked in the kiln.This produces chemical changes in the clay which have a hardening effect.The time taken for firing pottery varies with the size of the kiln and the type of clay.It can take anything from24hours to as long as2 weeks.If pottery is to hold water,it must be“glazed”,since clay is porous by nature.Glaze consists of the raw materials of glass,ground together and mixed with water to a creamy consistency.The glaze is sprayed on to the pot which is then heated in the kiln again until it is, in effect,covered with a very thin layer of glass.This seals the pores in the clay and gives us the versatile table and oven dishes we know so well today.Questions66-70:Answer the following questions with the information given in the passage.66.What are the main purposes of early making pottery?67.In what way did the vessels shape before the invention of the potter’s wheel?68.When was the first potter’s wheel invented?69.Please list the three ways that articles can be made of pottery.70.Why is the time taken for firing pottery varies?10--Section D(10marks)Questions71to75are based on the following passage.Originally used to describe a third-century sect of strictly legalistic heretics,the word‘Puritan’is now applied unevenly to a number of Protestant churches from the late16th century to the present.Puritan did not originally use the term for themselves.It was a term of abuse that first surfaced in the1560s.“Precisemen”and“Precisians”were other early antagonistic terms for Puritan who preferred to call themselves“the godly”.The word“Puritan”thus always referred to a type of religious belief,rather than a particular religious sect.To reflect that the term encompasses a variety of ecclesiastical bodies and theological positions,scholars today increasingly prefer to use the term as a common noun or adjective:“puritan”rather than “Puritan”.The single theological momentum most consistently defined by the term“Puritan”was Anabaptist and led to the founding of the Independent or Congregationalist churches.In the United States,the church and religious culture of the Puritans of the Massachusetts Bay Colony formed the basis of the post-colonial American Congregationalism,specifically the Congregational Church proper as well as Unitarianism.The term Puritan was used by the group itself mainly in the16th century,though it seems to have been used often and,in its earliest recorded instances, as a term of abuse.By the middle of the17th century,the group had become so divided that “Puritan”was most often used by opponents and detractors of the group,rather than by the practitioners themselves.As Patrick Collinson has noted,well before the founding of the New England settlement,“Puritanism had no content beyond what was attributed to it by its opponents”.The practitioners knew themselves as members of particular churches or movements,and not by the simple term.Puritans who felt that the Reformation of the Church of England was not to their satisfaction but who remained within the Church of England advocating further reforms are known as non-separating Puritans.(The Non-Separating Puritans differed among themselves about how much further reformation was necessary.)Those who felt that the Church of England was so corrupt that true Christians should separate from it altogether are known as separating Puritans or simply as Separatists.Especially after the Restoration(1660),non-separating Puritans were called Nonconformists(for their failure to conform to the Book of Common Prayer) while separating Puritans were called Dissenters.The term“puritan”is not strictly used to describe any new religious group after the17th century,although several groups might be called“puritan”because their origins lay in the Puritan movement.“The term‘puritan’might be used by analogy to describe any group that shares a commitment to the Puritans”Anabaptist points.11--Questions71-75:Complete the summary below with information from the passage,using no more than three words for each blank.Part V:Translation(15marks)Section A(5marks)Translate the following paragraph into Chinese.Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.76.No one’s born being good at all things.You become good at things through hard work.

A film crew was at the Circle Five Ranch to film a Marlboro commercial. This was in 1868, before they prohibited cigarette ads from American television. Darrell Winfield was watching the crew set up the equipment. The scene included an actor crossing a river on horseback, but when the time came to shoot, the man was too drunk to ride. Someone from the crew saw Winfield and asked him if he would ride the horse for 50 dollars. "Hell," said Winfield, "for 50 bucks, I'll jump that damn horse over the moon!"To people in many countries, Winfield is just a familiar but nameless face, a simple cowboy with an advertising message about a connection between the West and a brand of cigarettes. Few people know that he is 55, a family man who's been married to the same woman for 37 years and has 5 children and 7 grandchildren. Most surprisingly, he's a real, working cowboy who raises horses in his ranch in Wyoming.One of the most striking things about the Marlboro Man is that success hasn't changed him much. He says that complete strangers sometimes come up to him and say, "I've met you,know you from somewhere.

Seven others were so badly damaged that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or torn roofs. One person was killed, several were badly injured and taken tohospital, and a number of other people received smaller injuries. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless as a result of the storm.A farmer, Mr. C. Y. Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour. "I was in the kitchen with my wife and children," he said, "when we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us, we managed to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him, safe but very frightened."Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she noticed that her house was shaking. She rushed outside immediately with her children."There was no time to take anything," she said. "A few minutes later, the roof came down."

He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney's cartoon（动画片）film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash's voice, he said,"Stop! That's our duck!"The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey's eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular thanMickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn't a goody-goody like Mickey.In the 1930s, 40s and 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared---there were no more new cartoons.Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today's children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.(1)、Walt Disney made Donald Duck film.A：TB：F答案：A(2)、The first Donald Duck film was made in 1934.A：TB：F答案：A(3)、Clarence Nash was a film-maker.A：TB：F答案：B(4)、The underlined word "audience" in the second paragraph means readers.A：TB：F答案：B(5)、The underlined word "goody-goody" in the second paragraph means a person who likes to appear to be faultless in behavior.A：TB：F答案：A全套完整题库，全中文翻译内容，复习更方便，考前独家提供简化版本，助您快速通过，全程免费答疑。
