On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These "Polar Bears" are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3℃, and the water temperature was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group, this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统)because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.The main benefits of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says. "When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away."11. The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements exceptthat_____.A. they should be easy to make friends withB. they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold monthsC. they must agree to swim outdoors from November through FebruaryD. they must reach the age of 6012. Doctors _____.A. encourage people to take part in cold-water swimming activelyB. point out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimmingC. believe swimming is helpful both in winter and in summerD. have different ideas about the medical effects of cold-water swimming13. According to the passage, some doctors believe it is true that _____.A. you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blueB. cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winterC. cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously highD. Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water14. The Polar Bears like to swim all the year round, for _____.A. they can remain youngB. it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winterC. they find it enjoyable and interestingD. they might meet fewer troubles in life15. The passage is mainly about _____.A. a group of cold-water swimming loversB. the Polar Bears' life in New YorkC. doctors' ideas about cold-water swimmingD. the requirements of the Polar Bear ClubPassage 2Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being (health and happiness) of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose) jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities needed by tourists attractions. Forexample, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.16. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before this passage?A) Support facilities are highly necessary.B) Building roads and hotels is essential.C) It is extremely important to develop tourism.D) Planning is of great importance to tourism.17. Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ___________.A) pressure on trafficB) a change of tourists' customsC) overcrowdedness of places of interestD) a bad effect on other industries18. Not enough tourism can lead to ______________.A) an increase of unemploymentB) the higher cost of support facilitiesC) a decrease in tourist attractionsD) a rise in price and a fall in pay19. It is good for local people to know well that tourism will ______________.A) use up a large amount of waterB) help establish their customsC) weaken their economyD) help improve their life20. The word "handle" in the last paragraph most probably means ___________.A) deal with B) get in C) take down D) pick upPassage 3Many people with ordinary jobs may dream of long holidays in foreign countries, but they know they couldn't afford them even if they could get enough time off from the company. However, there are a few businesses which have started schemes to reward employees with long service by giving them a chance to fulfill such ambitions by providing both the time andthe money.One company gives every employee over 50 years old and who has been with them for 25 years, six months' holiday on full pay. At the same time additional money can be made available by way of loans, to help them with projects they cannot otherwise offer. Most of the people who have already benefited from the scheme, have used the opportunity to travel to distant places like the Far East or South America and some have spent the money on their favorite hobbies, such as photography.The cost of providing these special holidays is fairly high but the directors feel it is well worthwhile because the employees are greatly refreshed by their long break from the pressures and routines of their jobs. The only problems are that the people concerned tend to have key jobs which can be difficult to fill on a temporary basis for a relatively long time. Besides, some employees find it difficult to re-adjust to the old routine after such a long time away. In addition, one or two people may not feel secure at leaving their job in someone else's hands. On balance, however, there is no doubt that the idea is beneficial to industrial relations and a wonderful reward for long service.21. Many workers would like to ___________.A) dream of long holidays at homeB) spend a long time in unusual placesC) buy a holiday away from homeD) have a long holiday after many years22. One company____________.A) gives money to employees over 25 yearsB) lends staff money to go on holidaysC) allows long holidays to certain staffD) arranges long holidays for old employees23. Most of the employees in the scheme ____________.A) enjoy leisure activities B) develop their hobbiesC) take up photography D) take foreign trips24. The directors feel that _____________.A) the staff get a lot of pleasures from the schemeB) older staff are very enthusiastic about holidaysC) the scheme is more expensive than they expectedD) the scheme is beneficial to staff relations25. One of the problems is that ________________.A) it is difficult to fill a temporary jobB) some employees are afraid of their colleaguesC) it is difficult for some people to re-adjust to the old routine after a long breakD) employees don't feel secure when they are awayPassage 4If U.S. software companies don't pay more attention to quality, they could kiss their business good-bye. Both India and Brazil are developing a world-class software industry. Their weapon is quality and one of their jobs is to attract the top U.S. quality specialists whose voices are not listened to in their country.Already, of the world's 12 software houses that have earned the highest rating in the world, seven are in India. That's largely because they have used new methodologies rejected by American software specialists. For example, for decades, quality specialists, W. Edwards Deming and J. M. Juran had urged U.S. software companies to change their attitudes to quality. But their quality call mainly fell on deaf ears in the U.S. -but not in Japan. By the 1970s and 1980s, Japan was grabbing market share with better, cheaper products. They used Deming's and Juran's ideas to bring down the cost of good quality to as little as 5% of total production costs. In U.S. factories, the cost of quality then was 10 times as high: 50%. In software, it still is.Watts S. Humphrey spent 27 years at IBM heading up software production and then quality assurance. But his advice was seldom paid attention to. He retired from IBM in 1986. In 1987, he worked out a system for assessing and improving software quality. It has proved its value time and again. For example, in 1990 the cost of quality at Raytheon Electronics Systems was almost 60% of total software production costs. It fell to 15% in 1996 and has since further dropped to below 10%.Like Deming and Juran, Humphrey seems to be wining more praises overseas than at home. The India government and several companies have just founded the Watts Humphrey Software Quality Institute at the Software Technology Park in Chennai, India.Let's hope that U.S. lead in software will not be eaten up by its quality problems.26. What country has more highest-rating companies in the world than any other country has?A. Germany.B. The U.S.C. BrazilD. India27. Which of the following statements about Humphrey is true?A. He is now still an IBM employer.B. He has worked for IBM for 37 years.C. The US pays much attention to his quality advice.D. India honors him highly.28. By what means did Japan grab its large market share by the 1970s and the 1980s?A. Its products were cheaper in price and better in quality.B. Its advertising was most successful.C. The US hardware industry was lagging behind .D. Japan hired a lot of India software specialists.29. What does the founding of the Watts Humphrey Software Quality Institute symbolize?A. It symbolizes the US determination to move ahead with its softwareB. .It symbolizes the India ambition to take the lead in software.C. It symbolizes the Japanese efforts to solve the software quality problem.D. It symbolizes the Chinese policy on importing software.30. What is the writer worrying about?A. Many US software specialists are working for Japan.B. The quality problem has become a worldwide problem.C. The US will no longer be the first software player in the world.D. India and Japan are joining hands to compete with the US.第三部分：词汇和结构31．--- We ______ that you would fix the TV set this week.--- I’m sorry.

To many people, the cause is obvious: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that peoplewere thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less and didn't watch television.Several modem studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations, such as the 1979 study of 3, 545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts: The more the men ran, the more body fat they lost.The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate.Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.11.

trained specialists risk their lives every day fighting fires. it’s eas y to see why so many people are eager to become firefighters: serving as oneis heroic and adventurous. but becoming a firefighter takes more than merely strength and bravery. before you canbecome an active-duty firefighter, you need to spend about 600 ho urs in training, over the course of 12 to 14 weeks. that’s somewhere from 40 to 48 hours per week, which makes firefighter training a full-time job. training typically occurs at a fire academy, which is often run by the fire department, a division of the state government or a university.much of this training is actually in the classroom. during their academic coursework at the fire academy, students study english, physics, chemistry, mathematics and fire science in relation to real-life fire situations. to be effective problem solvers and keep up good communication on the job, a fire fighter needs to be well-rounded. the requirements to enter a training program vary from department to department, but typically, firefighters must: ? ? ? ? ?be at least 18 years old (sometimes 21).have a high school diploma or equivalent, though many fire departments now require a college education. be physically fit.have a clean criminal record.have corrected 20 / 20 vision.firefighting is a highly competitive field. thousands of applicants apply every year across the country, butmost are rejected. many departments hire every two years,and typically give staff positions to about 30 applicants at atime. while some fire departments only require applicants to hold a high school diploma, many look for applicants with two years of college credit from an accredited college or university. firefighting is so competitive, in fact, that many applicants obtain emt certification before applying to be a firefighter, making them more desirable to departments that are hiring. today, more applicants than ever have four-year degrees in fire science or a related field, which has made the field even more competitive.to enter a training program, applicants should take three exams: a written test, a candidate physical ability test (cpat) and an ability test. the written exam typically consists of around 100 multiple choice questions and covers spatial awareness, reading comprehension, mechanical reasoning, logic, observation and memory. the primary focus of the physical ability test is agility, upper body strength and endurance. each task is timed and tests the applicant’s ability to endure sustained physical activity. these tasks reflect what students do day in and day out in the fire academy. it’s unlikely that an applicant who struggles to complete the tasks will survive 14 weeks of training, and so it is a strong indicator of future success. physical tests vary from academy to academy, but here are some common tasks:climb and descend an aerial ladder set at 60 degrees up 50 feet. ? drag a 2-inch tube charged with water 100 to 200 feet.operate a 30-foot extension ladder, which requires pulling a rope with tension equivalent to lifting a50-pound bag of cement. ? carry a 12-foot ladder through an obstacle course.perform an attic, or crawl space, crawl in full firefighter gear, including scba (self-contained breathing apparatus).complete search and rescue drills.in order to survive, firefighters must be able to think critically and clearly and solve problems quickly under extreme stress. this can be especially difficult in an actual fire, so training instructors conduct live fire training drills where they purposely set buildings on fire to give students opportunities to develop these skills. the overall goal of this behavioral training is to form good habits in students through repeated exposure, live fire training is conducted in burn buildings,which are structures, built or acquired, to be intentionally burned for firefighter training. let’s take a look at what a typical live fire training looks like.an instructor gives a briefing of the day’s activities, and students dress in their high-tech, multi-layered specialty clothing. these clothes can withstand temperatures up to 1,200 degrees fahrenheit. next, the students enter the burning building. one instructor goes before the students, and one trails behind. the students place themselves on the same side of the tube and distance themselves an arm’s leng th from each other. other students, who won’t be operating the tube in the structure, prepare to move the tube line forward as the crew goes further into the structure. the crew gets down into a crawling position as they enter the burning area, making sure to keep the tube line between themselves and the flames. as the students approach the area they will attack, they take their positions on the line, one operating the nozzle（喷嘴）, the others supporting. the instructor gives the go-ahead and the students open the nozzle, attacking the flames. at the instructor’s command, the crew closes the nozzle positioned away from their bodies to avoid steam burns on exposed skin. the nozzle operator moves to the back of the line and everyone else moves forward. the crew repeats this process until everyone has a turn operating the nozzle. when they put out the fire, the crew leaves the structure quickly but safely, leaving only the nozzle operator and a back-up crew member behind. when it’s clear the fire is completely put out, the crew works together to retract the tube line from the structure.after the training drill, the instructor checks the students for injuries. once everyone is checked out and accounted for, the instructor reviews the activity and provides constructive feedback.1. people can take firefighter training as a part-time job.2. the academic coursework only focuses on the skills of firefighting.3. a 30-year-old physically fit man, who was a criminal many years ago, is not allowed to enter a trainingprogram.4. 5. 6. 7.the three exams which are required to enter a trainingprogram are irrelevant to the firefighter training. after entering the burning building, students should stay very close to each other. the students should make sure that the building won’t burn again before they leave.there are usually no students who get injured in the live firefighter training.8. typically, firefighter training takes place ____________ run by the fire department, which is a division of the state government or a university.9. today, more applicants than ever before have____________, which has made the field even morecompetitive.10. the goal of live fire training is to form good habits in students through ____________.part iii listening comprehension (30 minutes，30%)section adirections: in this section, you

But why do people read newspapers?Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings —battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown or killed — took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in ournewspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen.Apart from supplying news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radio, television and film guides, book reviews, stories, and of course, advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money for news of their products to go into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money earned from advertisements makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.1. The phrase “subscribe to” in the first paragraph means .A. go to the newspaper stand and buyB. send their own news stories toC. agree to buy for a specific period of timeD. become faithful readers of2. The habit of reading newspapers is .A. widespreadB. found among a few familiesC. not popularD. uncommon3. Before the time of the newspaper, .A. bad news traveled quickly and good news slowlyB. few people cared about events that took place in far away countriesC. kings and rulers were often overthrown or killedD. news was passed from one person to another4. The author seems to agree that money spent on advertisements is .A. wastedB. not muchC. well spentD. of no use to anyone5. Which of the following statements is true?A. Five hundred years ago it took a long time for news to reach other countries.B. Newspaper advertisements turn people’s attention away from their products.C. The news that we read in newspapers is mainly about new products.D. When newspapers are sold at a low price, the newspaper producers will lose money.Passage 2When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses.What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international businessmen or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples — people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better qualityfurniture than they could afford to buy.One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people do n’t like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.6. Which of the following has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses?A. Selling home furnishings.B. Renting furnished apartments.C. Selling used furniture.D. Renting home furnishings.7. Why do some people prefer to rent furniture?A. Because the furniture they get in this way is new.B. Because it saves them a lot of money.C. Because it saves them much trouble and money.D. Because they can always get better quality furniture in this way.8. What can you infer from the passage?A. The idea of renting furniture is not acceptable.B. Renting furniture is still not popular with the majority of Americans.C. Only those who don’t have enough money rent furniture.D. People usually grow to like the furniture they have rented.9. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Rent or Buy?B. A New Way of Getting Home FurnishingsC. Furnished ApartmentsD. A New Idea10. Young people like renting home furniture in that_________A. They have less money.B. They don’t want to buy old furniture.C. The new furniture is of good quality.D. They don’t have much money and don’t want to buy the cheap furniture.Passage 3Spending 50 minutes with a cell phone close to your ear is enough to change brain cell activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna(天线). But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concerns of a link between cell phones and brain cancer. “What we showed is glucose (葡萄糖) metabolism(代谢)(a sign of brain activity) increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna,” said Dr. Nora Volkow, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic(电磁的) fields caused by wireless phone signals.Volkow said she was surprised that the weak electromagnetic radiation(辐射) from cell phones could affect brain activity, but she said the findings do not shed any light on whether cell phones cause cancer. “This study does not in any way indicate that. What the study does is to show the human brain is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation from cell phone exposures.” Use of the devices has increased dramatically since they were introduced in the early 1980s, withabout 5 billion cell phones now in use worldwide.Some studies have linked cell phone exposure to an increased risk of brain cancers, but a large study by the World Health Organization did not of fer a clear answer to this. Volkow’s team studied 47 people who had their brain examined while a cell phone was turned on for 50 minutes and another while the phone was turned off. While there was no complete change in brain metabolism, they found a 7 percent increase in brain metabolism in the region closest to the cell phone antenna when the phone was on.Experts said the results were interesting, but urged that they be understood with great care. “Although the biological significance, if any, of increa sed glucose metabolism from too much cell phone exposure is unknown, the results require further investigation,” Henry Lai of the University of Washington in the U.S. and Dr. Lennart Hardell of University Hospital in Sweden, wrote in an article in JAMA. “Much has to be done to further investigate and understand these effects.” They wrote.11.

Fifteen-year-old Bob Sanders often breaks these rules.The boys can go into town in the afternoon after classes. But they must return to the school at six o’clock. One afternoon Bob walked to the town. He looked at the shops and then went to the cinema. After the film he looked at his watch. It was after eight o’clock. He was a little worried. He walked back to Harton College as fast as possible.When he arrived, he ran quickly to the main entrance. It was locked. He looked up at the window of his dormitory. It was on the third floor. The window was open. But it was quite dark and he went round the school building to another door. That one was locked too. He couldn’t climb up the wall very easily. Then he saw another open window on the ground floor. It was the window of the headmaster’s study.He looked into the room-----no one was there. Bob quickly climbed on to the window sill (窗台) and jumped into the room. Just then he heard a noise. Then some one turned on a light in the corridor. Bob looked around and then hid under the sofa. One minute later, Mr. Mannering, the headmaster, came in. He turned on the light on his desk, and sat down on the sofa. Then he opened a book and began to read.Bob lay under the sofa as quietly as possible. He could not move. The floor was cold and uncomfortable. He looked at the headmaster’s shoes and socks for an hour.“Why doesn’t he get up and go to bed?” he thought.Finally, the headmaster closed his book and stood up. He put the book on a shelf and walked towards the door. “Thank heavens, he didn’t find me under the sofa!” thought Bob.Then Mr. Mannering stopped and spoke towards the sofa. “Would you turn off the light when you leave?” he said and left the study.31.According to the passage, it is required that students of Harton College _________ .A) come back to the college at six o’clock if they go to town after classesB) may stay out until midnight if they likeC) should leave school when class is overD) may do whatever they like32.When Bob realized it was too late to return to Harton College as required, it was already ___________ .A) 8:00 B) 9:00 C) later than 8:00 D) midnight33.Bob stole into the courtyard of his college by means of ________ .A) the main entranceB) going around the school building to another doorC) jumping over the wallD) climbing into the window of his headmaster’s study34.Bob hid himself under the sofa probably because he was afraid of ______________ .A) being punished for his theftB) being found to have returned lateC) being dismissed for his wrongdoingD) being capture alive on the spot35.In the light of what his headmaster said towards the sofa, it can be safely concluded that the headmaster had already________________ .A) excused BobB) forgiven BobC) found Bob hiding under the sofaD) punished BobPassage 2“Most experiences of absent - mindedness-forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room-are caused by a simple lack of attention, ” says Schacter. “You’re supposed to remember something, but you haven’t encoded（编码）it deeply.”Encoding, Schacter explains, is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impression on recalling it later. Failure to encode properly can create troublesome situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don’t pay attention to what you did because you’re involved in a conversation, you’ll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your cupboarD.“ Your memory itself isn’t failing you, ” says Schacter, “Rather, you didn’t give your memory system the information it needeD.”Lack of interest can also lead to absent -mindedness. “A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago, ” says Zelinski, “ may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.”Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory relies on just that.“Visual cues（视觉提示）can help prevent absent- mindedness, ”says Schacter, “But be sure the cue is clear and available. ”If you want to remember to take a medicine with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table-don’t leave itin the medicine box and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.Another common experience of absent - mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why you’re there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. “Everyone does this from time to time, ”says Zelinski. “The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room, and you’ll likely remember.”36．The writer of the passage thinks that encoding properly is very important because ________.A. it enables us to recall something from our memoryB. it slows down the process of losing our memoryC. it helps us understand our memory system betterD. it helps us to get back to where we were37．One possible reason why women have a little better memories than men is that________.A. they rely more on the environmentB. they have a wider range of interestsC. they have an unusual power of focusing their attentionD. they are more interested in what’s happening around them38．Why can a note in the pocket hardly serve as a reminder? ________.A. It will easily get lostB. It is out of your sightC. It’s not clear enough for you to readD. It might get mixed up with other things39．From the last paragraph we can learn that________.A. repetition might help improve our memoryB. memory depends to a certain extent on the environmentC. we’d better return to where we were if we forget thingsD. we should think about something else while doing one thing40．The passage is mainly about ________.A. the memory system of personsB. a way of encoding and recallingC. the causes of absent - mindednessD. the impression of the environment on memoryPassage 3It has been said that no town grows up until it is home to a college or university. Knowing this, as early as 1944, far-sighted community leaders began to plan for and raise money for the creation of a junior college in Columbus. In February of 1958 the Georgia Legislature passed the Junior College Bill(法案), which stipulated that all colleges qualifying for state funding must be in operation by September of 1958.It was a challenge to meet the deadline, but on September 22, 1958, Columbus came of age: Columbus College began classes in the old Shanon Hosiery Mill, with 13 faculty members, five academic programs and 227 students. The phenomenal growth of the college began. In 1960, the first class of graduates received their associate degrees. In 1963, the college relocated to its present site. In 1965, the college was authorized to move up to the four-year status, and 1966 saw the first enrollment in a bachelor’s degree program. In 1973, the first graduate students began classes leading to the Master of Education degree and finally, two years ago, Columbus College became Columbus State University.Some of the benefits from the university to our town are obvious-the spreading of knowledge and culture, skills and technology through college and advanced courses that students are able to take locally.A major benefit from the university to our town is not so obvious, perhaps. Hundreds of highly educated and talented faculty and staff have become citizens of our area, contributing their skills, expertise and viewpoints to the common good of the community and generally promoted the progress of the area in a number of diverse ways. Looking back over 40 years of growth, and forward into the next century, the dream of those leaders who had the foresight to bring the college to Columbus has been fulfilled beyond their dreams.41. The idea that prompted the community leaders in Columbus to plan for the creation of a college is that __________.A) towns can grow very large if they have a collegeB) the town must have a college for their own benefitC) a town cannot be fully developed without a collegeD) foresight is essential when they plan for the college42. Columbus College began classes in September, 1958 so that it obtained financial support from __________.A) citizens of the Columbus area B) the state governmentC) private companies D) students’ tuition43. How-many years did it take the students at Columbus College to receive an associate degree?A) Two years. B) Three years. C) Four years. D) Seven years.44. The meaning of the word “phenomenal” (Para. 2) can be expressed by ________.A) remarkable B) surprising C) far-sighted D) hasty45. The writer’s purpose in writing this article is most likely toA) recount the university’s historyB) celebrate the university’ s 40th anniversary.C) ask more students to attend the universityD) show the importance of the university to the town’s residentsPassage 4Animals other than humans have not developed communications comparable to human languagA. But is it possible that other animals have the capacity to learn a language if they are adequately taught? Obviously, this is a fascination notion. The idea of communicating directly with another species has long been a part of human folklore and children’s fantasies. But on a scientific level, the question of whether animals can learn a language is important primarily because it relates to the controversy()between the cognitive and the learning approaches to languagA. If language is dependent on and is actually an outgrowth of the intellectual structure of the human mind, there is the strong supposition that only humans are capable of using languagA. Therefore, Noam Chomsky and other psycholinguists have argued that only humans can learn a language, while most behaviorists feel that with sufficient patience it should be possible to teach an animal some sort of languagA. Although the two schools of thought clearly differ on this point, it is not really a crucial test of the two theories. If a chimpanzee can master a simple language all it would mean is that the chimp’s intellectual capacity and brain structure are more similar to ours than we thought. It would not necessarily imply that our intellectual structure is unimportant in our own mastery of languagA. Thus, teaching an animal language is an impressive demonstration of the power of learning techniques, but it is not evidence that language is developed entirely through learning.On the other hand, the question of whether other animals can learn a language is fascination in its own right, aside from its value as a test of the two theories of language development. Accordingly, whatever one’s position on the theoretical dispute, we must consider training an animal to use language a dramatic accomplishment.46.Which of the following statements is the view of psycholinguists?A. The cognitive view of language learning says that only human beings can learn language because it is anoutgrowth of the structure of the human minD.B. Other animals simply could master a languagA.C. The animals intellectual capacity is much better than human beings.D. Language is developed by learning.47.The behaviorists’ view is that __________.A. language is actually an outgrowth of intellectual structure of the animal’s mindB. animals have not developed communications systemC. given enough patience, a man should be able to teach an animal some sort of languageD. only human beings can learn language48.That an animal can master a simple language means that __________.A. human’s intellectual structure is not importantB. animals’ intellectual capacity and brain structure are more similar to the humans’C. the learning techniques are much more importantD. language is developed completely by learning49.The main idea of paragraph two is ___________.A. teaching a chimp language is not crucial test of the two theoriesB. their brain structure is not similar to humanC. using various methods to let the chimp master a languageD. training a nonhuman to use language is an amazing accomplishment50.The best title for this passage would be _________.A. Animals’ languageB. Human’s languageC. Teaching Animals’ LanguageD. Can Other Animals Acquire Language?Passage 540 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sport was never heard of. But when the annual games for the disabled were started as Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the situation began to change.Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi German, had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled.In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year, 1949, five teams took part. From those beginnings, thing have developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for the disabled were held in Rome. In the same place was the normal Olympic Games. Now, every four years the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games, although they are organized separately. In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville. In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games, 1064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics.The Games have been a great success in promoting international friendship and understanding, and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can’t enjoy sport. One small source of disappointment for those who organize, and take part in the games, however, has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able-bodied. Perhaps a few more year are still needed to convince those fortune enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should not be excluded.51. The first games for the disabled were held _____ after Sir Ludwig Guttmann arrived in England.A) 40 years B) 21 years C) 10 years D) 9 years52. Besides Stoke Mandeville, surely the games for the disabled were once held in _____.A) New York B) London C) Rome D) Los Angeles53. In Paragraph 3, the word athletes’ means____A) People who support the gamesB) People who watch the gamesC) People who organize the gamesD) People who compete in the games54. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A) Sir Ludwig Guttmann is an early organizer of the games for the disabled.B) Sir Ludwig Guttmann is an injured soldier.C) Sir Ludwig Guttmann is from Germany.’D) Sir Ludwig Guttmann is welcomed by the British government.55. From the passage, we may conclude that the writer is _____.A) One of the organizers of the games for the disabled.B) A disabled person who once took part in the games.C) Against holding the games for the disabled.D) In favor of holding the games for the disabled.三、完形填空(每题20分，共1题)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

Within five years, each of the 15 000 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a 510 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to "speak" with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computerlabs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees——anywhere at all!Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are testing laptop programs at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, "Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we''''''''re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything."(1). The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to ( ).A. use for their schoolworkB.access the InternetC.work at homeconnectD.them to libraries(2). Why is the word "speak" in the second paragraph in quotation marks ? ( )A.

What can we infer from the passage? ( )A. The program is successful.B.The program is not workable.C.The program is too expensive.D.We don''''t know the result yet.2. In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches. In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their Field of studywith people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor''s degree.Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same questions, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the developmentof modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Certainly, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.One type of test is sometimes called an "objective" test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have not learned the material properly.(1). In the Middle Ages students _______.A. took objective testsB. were timed by clocksC. specialized in one subjectD. never wrote exams(2). The main idea of paragraph 2 is ______A. workers now take examinationsB. the population has grownC. there are only written exams todayD. examinations are now written and timed(3).

It may be concluded that testing ______.A. should test only opinionsB. should always be writtenC. has changed since the Middle AgesD. is given only in factories3."The pen is more powerful than the sword (剑)." There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong. Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them.She was born in the USA in 1811. One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freezing the slaves. The civil war was the American Civil War of 1861, in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.This book was named "Uncle Tom''''s Cabin". There was time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery. Not many people read it today, but it isstill very interesting. The book has shown us how a warm-hearted writer can arouse (唤起) people''''s sympathies (同情). The writer herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave. The Southern Americans were very angry at the novel, which they said did not at all represent (代表) true state of affairs, but the Northern Americans were wildly excited over it and were so inspired (激励) by it that they-were ready to go to war to set the slaves free.(1). According to the passage ( ).A. every English-speaking person had read "Uncle Tom''s Cabin"B. "Uncle Tom''s Cabin" was not very interestingC. those who don''t speak English can not have read "Uncle Tom''s Cabin"D. the book "Uncle Tom''s Cabin" did a great deal in the American Civil War(2). How old was Mrs. Stowe when her world famous book was published? ( )A. About 60 years old.B.Over 50 years old.C.In her forties.D. Around 30 years old.(3). What do you learn about Mrs. Stowe from the passage? ( )A. AShe had been living in the north of America before the American Civil War.B. She herself encouraged the northern Americans to go to war and set the slaves free.C. She was better as writing as using a sword.D. She had once been a slave.(4). Why could Mrs. Stowe''s book cause a civil war in America? ( )A. She wrote so well that Americans loved her very much.B. She disclosed (揭露) the terrible wrongs that had been done to the slaves in the Southern States.C. The Southern Americans hated the book while the Northern Americans like it.D. The book had been read by many Americans.(5). What can we learn from the passage? ( )A. We needn''t use weapons (武器) to fight things that are wrong.B. writer is more helpful in a war than a soldier.C. We must understand the importance of literature and art.D. No war can be won without such a book as "Uncle Tom''s Cabin".4.Although I had left school against the advice of my teachers, I had, without telling anyone, tried to continue my studies in literature (文学) at evening classes. It was a tiresome walk from one end of the city to another and to sit among adults was uninteresting. I was the youngest in the class, so the friendship I knew at school was absent.I put up with (忍受) it for a short period. It was too long a walk on cold winter''s nights and it was hard to put my heart into Shakespeare with wet shoes and trousers. So I continued reading books and started writing poetry at home.By chance, I won some prizes and awards (奖) for literature. A young woman from a TV company came to the college one day. She told me that I had won a national poetry award. I stared at her in astonishment and disbelief. She wanted to make a short film about me, to which I said, "No, I couldn'' t do that." Not that I had any real excuse, I was just frightened. In the end she persuaded me that 1 should do it the following day.So I did. They made a short film of me reading one of my poems and I became more interested in literature than ever. I wondered what I should do after this, and decided some weeks later that 1 could not imagine myself spending the rest of my days dealing with machines. So one evening, I hesitatingly told my parents that I wanted to return to school. They were greatly surprised and, I think, a little afraid but they did not try to persuade me not to, they wanted to know if I was sure, if I knew what it meant and whether I realized that if I gave up my job training, it would be verydifficult to get a good job. But nothing could stop me, and theyasked about the matter no further.(1). Which of the following has most probably been discussed in this passage? ( )A. The writer''s unhappy childhood.B. The poor teaching quality ( 质量 ) of the writer''s school.C. The writer''s leaving school against his teachers'' advice.D. Whether it was worth leaving school for job training.(2). The writer did not feel comfortable at the evening school because ( ).A. he found it difficult to make friends with his classmatesB. he had to walk a long distance to the evening schoolC. he could not put his heart into reading books afterhe was caught in the rainD. of all of the above(3). After he won some prizes and awards for literature, a young woman from a TV company ( ).A. wanted to make his success known to the publicB. came to make friends with himC. invited him to make a speechD. came to tell him that he had become a very important person(4). After his success, he( )A. decided to get a good jobB. decided to continue hisstudies in literature at the evening schoolC. decided to return to the school he once leftD. began to feel very important and proud(5).

It was difficult for one who studied literature to get a job.D. His parents did not want him to continue his education.答案：一、单项选择题（60分，共 60 题，每小题 1 分）1. A2. B3. A4. D5. B6. A7. D8. A9. B 10. B 11.
