(44)Languages also contain valuable information about local medicines, environmental systems and species of plants and animala are unknown to scientists{B/1}. Language is in many ways, a window to the mind. (45)_What these language contain are all kinds of ways that we structure the world_{B/1}. Language is a way of storing the history of a people. Languages reflect a different historical contact with other groups, and, forpeople who have no written history, language can be one of the ways (46) that history can be gotten at just by looking carefully at the different layers in the language{B/1}.。

The gunman entered the hall dressed in black and carrying a shotgun and three handguns and began firing as students sought cover under desks. One student who escaped unharmed told reporters his life had changed as a result of what he experienced. Police say the gunman was StevenKazmierczak,27, a former graduate student in Sociology at the school.Police say he purchased the shotgun and two of the handguns on Saturday, indicating he may have planned the attack in advance,(2) but authorities have not determined a motive for the shooting. Kazmierczak had no criminal record and no history of mental illness. Under Illinois state law he would not have been able to purchase a weapon legally if there had been a record of arrests or mental problems.

Some experts call it "competitive devaluation." Others, though, argue that it is nothing short of a currency war--and far from boosting global recovery, it threatens to undermine it.So concerned are policymakers that the issue looks set to dominate talks on Friday at a meeting of finance ministers and central bankers. Dominique Strauss-Kahn, managing director of the International Monetary Fund, which hosts the meeting in Washington, set out the concerns in the Financial Times on Tuesday.(4)"There is clearly the idea beginning to circulate that currencies can be used as a policy weapon.

听力(略)Part II Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D), and you should decide which is the best choice. (40 points)Passage 1Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage:The United States is full of automobiles. There are still many families without cars, but some families have two or even more. However, cars are used for more than pleasure. They are necessary part of life.Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies. Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are used only when children live more than a mile from the school. When the children are too young to walk that far, their mothers take turns driving them to school. One mother drives on Mondays, taking her own children and neighbors' children as well. Another drives on Tuesdays, another on Wednesdays, and so on. This is called forming a car pool. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taking turns driving to the place where they all work.More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer automobiles on the road and to use less gasoline. Parking is a great problem, and so is the traffic in and around cities. Too many cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.26. Many families in the U.S. own cars because ________.A) cars are a source of pleasure for themB) they need a car to form a car poolC) they live more than a mile away from the schoolD) cars form necessary part in their life27. Which of the following groups is NOT mentioned though they certainly drive cars?A) Office workers.B) Police and mail carriers.C) Salesmen and farmers.D) Factory workers.28. Paragraph 3 suggests that in the United States ________.A) children have to walk to schoolB) school buses take all the children to schoolC) mothers drive children to schoolD) families usually live within a mile from the school29. "A car pool" most probably means ________.A) a number of people sharing the use of a carB) a place for parking carsC) a group of tourists driving alternativelyD) a place for learning to drive30. What is the author's advice about the use of cars?A) To provide larger parking spaces.B) To build better roads.C) To produce fewer automobiles.D) To form more car pools.Passage 2Question 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Recent fires have destroyed much of Indonesian forests and pose the latest threat to the survival of the endangered orangutans(红毛猿). Thirty orangutans fleeing their burning forest home have been killed by villagers, who see the animals as crop raiders. Orangutan mothers have been killed so that their young can be captured and sold into the illegal wildlife pet trade. Orangutan experts continue to receive orangutan infants whose mothers have been killed while searching for food in plantations and fields.The fires, caused by drought and coupled with fire-setting methods to clear forests, have destroyed more than two million acres. When fire gets into the rainforests' layer of dry peat (partly decayed plant material which covers the soil), it can burn slowly off and on for months or years after the original fire. These fires continue until heavy rainfall soaks the peat through and through. Orangutans once numbered in the hundreds of thousands, but their population has dropped to roughly 25 000 due to fire, the destruction of forests from felling trees for timber and agriculture, and losses linked to the live-animal trade. Before the fires, only 40 percent of the orangutans' original habitat remained, and now, their habitat has become even smaller.31. What can be the best title for this passage?A) Fires Drive Orangutans to Danger.B) Orangutans Are Precious Animals.C) Fires in Indonesia Keep on Flaming.D) Orangutans Endanger the Crops of Indonesia.32.

Some people buy orangutans because ________.A) they want to save orangutansB) they want to keep orangutans as petsC) they want to build new homes for orangutansD) they want to take care of orangutan infants35. Which of the following is NOT a reason for the decreasing of orangutans in Indonesia?A) The forests have been burned to make land for agriculture.B) Most of orangutans' forests have been destroyed.C) Mother orangutans have been caught and sold in pet-animal market.D) Trees have been cut down for human profits.Passage 3Question 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Don't try kicking the tires on a very modern and strange car developed by students at Coventry University. Not only does the car have no tires, it has no steering wheel, either.The Coventry Concept Car, as it is called is a completely new design that looks more like a snail(蜗牛)than an automobile. No working model, or functional form of the vehicle exists yet, but its designers recently introduced a life-sized model and explained how a real one would work. Electric motors would move rapidly undulating pad(形成波浪状气垫)underneath the car; moving the vehicle in any direction at speeds up to 480 km per hour. The motion would be a much faster way of crawling ? the way snails move. (Muscles in the bottom of a snail's flat foot contract (收缩)in waves that push the snail along the ground.)Steering of the snail car would be handled automatically by an onboard computer, which would receive signals from orbiting satellites. Those signals would help guide the snail car along a preprogrammed route.Even the car's color could be computer-controlled, the student designer suggested. Instead of a painted out appearance, the snail car would sport an electronically sensitive film that changes color according to its surroundings.36. The Coventry Concept Car is designed mainly based on ________.A) the appearance of a snailB) the movement of a snailC) the life-size of a snailD) the behavior of a snail37. Which of the following is true about the Coventry Concept Car?A) Its first working model can run at 480 km per hour.B) Its direction is controlled by a steering wheel.C) It moves in all directions on a pair of flat feet.D) It travels automatically along preprogrammed routes.38. The color of the car can be changed ______.A) by applying different films onto its exteriorB) automatically in accordance with its surroundingsC) by signals received by the car computerD) according to the customer's requirement39. The word "sport" in the last but one line most probably means _______.A) applyB) wearC) runD) notice40. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A) A Car at a Speed of a SnailB) A Computer-Controlled Electronic VehicleC) A Car Without Tires and Steering WheelD) A Car with No Functional FormPassage 4Question 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date?Many people are afraid to assert themselves(坚持自己的权利). Dr. Alberti, author of Stand Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back, thinks it's because their self-respect is low. "Our whole set-up is designed to make people distrust themselves," says Alberti. "There's always a 'superior' around: a parent, a teacher, a boss who 'knows better'."But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help those people assert themselves. They offer "Assertiveness Training" courses ? AT for short. In the AT course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive without hurting other people.In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear. A group taking an AT course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger motive ? the need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-image. If someone you face is more "important" than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your own good sense. You go by the other person's label. But, why should you? AT says you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.41. The problem the writer talks about is that _______.A) some people buy things they don't wantB) some people are afraid of arguing for themselvesC) there are too many "superiors" around usD) there is too much pressure from our society42. The cause of the problem discussed in this passage is that _______.A) some people have a low self-imageB) there is always someone around who "knows better"C) salesmen talk people into buying things they don't wantD) people don't share opinions in a group43. The set-up of our society often _______.A) makes people distrust themselvesB) makes things more favorable for "superiors"C) keeps people from knowing as much as their "superiors"D) helps people to learn to speak up for their rights44. A T is one solution to the problem in this passage, but one thing AT doesn't promote is to help people ________.A) to share their feelingsB) to have a right to be oneselfC) to overcome their fear before othersD) to be more aggressive45. The title for this passage could be ________.A) Assertiveness TrainingB) Loss of Self-respectC) The Importance of Human RightsD) Share Your Feelings with OthersPart III Vocabulary and StructureDirections: There are 20 incomplete sentences in this part.

You have to come up with a plan to get your product or service in the market place. You have to come up with a marketing plan. (67) This marketing plan involves two parts: you have to figure out who the market is; and you have to make the product or service known to that market. These two work together.It is a rare case in marketing when a product has appeal to everyone regardless of sex, age, income level or special interests. (68) The more typical case is that a product will appeal to a limited group of people who are willing to put down their hard-earned dollars to buy what you have to sell.(69) The basic question to keep in mind as you develop your marketing plan is: Who would want to buy the type of product I make and how can I develop it to be saleable to these special people? Once you define your market, you often have to modify your product to fit that market. Sometimes the answer to this question is clear and logical. Often, however, a business person has to do some research and experimentation to find the answer. (70) Many a business has failed because people didn't consider this obvious but critical question: Who is the market?66. ____________________________________________________________________________67.____________________________________________________________________________68. ____________________________________________________________________________69. ____________________________________________________________________________70. ____________________________________________________________________________Section BDirections: In this section, you will translate 5 sentences below into English.

"The world has less to fear from doomsday rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them," said a New York Times article.答案:Listening ComprehensionSection A1、C[解析]M: Hello, Mrs. White, what can I do for you?W: I don't know what's the matter with me? I'm always feeling tired. I'm usually worn out at the end of the day.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?2、D[解析]W: Daddy, I have decided to give up science and go to business school.M: Well, it is your choice as long as you pay your own way, but I should ware you that not everyone with a business degree will make a successful manager.Q: What do we learn from the conversation?3、B[解析]W: I'm thinking of taking five courses next semester.M: Wouldn't four be wiser?Q: What does the man mean?4、B[解析]W: You took an optional course this semester, didn't you? How is it going?M: Terrible. It seems like the more the professor talks, the less I understand.Q: How does the man feel about the course?5、C[解析]M: Oh, this cover is tom now. Must have got that way from carrying it around.W: Not to worry, with a little tape it should look like new. Here, let me look at it.Q: What will the woman probably do?6、B[解析]M: Tom's house looks nice. What did he do to it?W: He had it painted.Q: What did Tom do?7、B[解析]W: I like volleyball but not football.M: Basketball and football are my favorite sports.Q: Which sport does the woman like?8、B[解析]M: Let me see. I have printed my family name, first name, date of birth, and address. Anything else?W: No. That's all right. We'll fill in the rest of it if you'll just sign your name at the bottom.Q: What has the man been doing?9、D[解析] 9-12M: What do you plan to do for Christmas?W: No concrete plan, but I think I'll most likely go skiing in Montana and spend a few days in the mountains doing cross-country skiing.M: I heard you are very good at skiing. Believe it or not, I haven't done any skiing in my life. I wish I could ski just like you.W: Yeah, you could if you gave it a shot. You know, skiing is my love and the only reason I like it so much is because it gives me great pleasure to speed through the snow.M: My parents and I vacationed in Montana National Park when I was little and I remembered we had great time going hiking. Now I feel like going back again.W: Well, since we have two weeks' break for Christmas, you can spend a few days in Montana and I can give you lessons on skiing. That would give you some basics and hopefully you can ski like a professional in a few days.M: Ski like a professional? No way. Actually, you do have a good point. I could spend some time in Montana and head back home for Christmas. Perhaps you could spend Christmas at my place too. My parents would like to meet you.W: That would be great, since my folks will be in Jamaica for Christmas and New Year.M: Oh, I am anxious to learn how to ski.W: And you can bet I will be a very strict instructor.M: No problem. I have been known to be an excellent student during my school year.W: Well, maybe you won't be this time.M: Really? I am looking forward to it now.W: OK. Then, let's wait and see.9. What are the two speakers mainly talking about?10、C[解析]Why does the woman like skiing so much?11、A[解析]When did the man go to the Montana National Park?12、A[解析]What will the man do on the vacation?13、A[解析] 13-15W: Are you going to find a job again this summer?M: Yes, of course. Otherwise, how am I going to pay for the tuition fees in the fall?W: I am thinking of working too, but my folks insist I have to spend some time with them during the summer. You know', I haven't seen them for two years.M: That's considering you are only an eight-hour drive away from your hometown. Why haven't you been home for so long?W: It's not that I didn't want to go home but because my parents were volunteering in the charitable organization in Central America for the last couple of years.M: In that case, maybe you should visit them in the summer.W: That's true, but I didn't want to spend the whole summer staying at home. I want to make some money and pay off my tuition fees too.M: Well, you can get a loan.W: Loan? I hate the idea of borrowing. I would rather make my own money and pay it off.M: That's true. It's not uncommon for people to have high bills to pay once they've graduated.W: Yes, that's exactly what I didn't want to get myself into.M: Well, you can work part-time when you are at home.W: I was thinking about that but my parents thought I should be at home with them full-time.M: Well, I think you do have to make a decision.13. What do we learn about the woman from the conversation?14、D[解析]What did the woman's parents do in Central America?15、C[解析]Why doesn't the woman want to get a loan for tuition fees?Section B16、A[解析] 16-18We use all sorts of services without thinking how we get them. But such services cost money. We pay for them through taxes. What would happen if everyone in a city stopped paying taxes. The streets might not be cleaned. There would be no police force to protect people and property.The chief duty of every government is to protect people and property. More than three-fourths of the money spent by our government is used for this purpose. The next largest amount of public money goes to teaching and training our citizens. Billions of dollars each year is spent on schools and libraries. Public money is used topay teachers and other public officials.Years ago, the government made money from the sale of public lands. But most of the best public lands have now been sold. The money raised was used to help pay the cost of government. There are still some public lands that contain oil, coal, gas, and other natural resources. They could be sold, but we want to save them for future years. So we all must pay our share for the services that make our lives comfortable.16. What is the chief duty of every government?17、C[解析]How did the government raise money in the past?18、B[解析]What is the passage mainly about?19、B[解析] 19-21In a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only two percent of the Japanese respondents listed "to give children a good start academically" as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half of the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools.Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children's chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities.19. Why are Americans turning to Japan in terms of preschool education?20、D[解析]What is the focus of Japanese preschool education?21、D[解析]Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens?22、B[解析] 22-25Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight. Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather try switching to "light" beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion. The Center for Disease Control, for example, found that fewer than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to lose pounds said they were combining exercise with their diet.In rejecting exercise, some people may be too discouraged by calorie-expenditure charts; for example, one would have to quickly walk three miles just to work off the 275 calories in one delicious Danish pastry. Even exercise professionals concede Americans have a point here. "Exercise by itself is a very tough way to lose weight," says York Onnen, program director of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.Still, exercise's supporting role in weight reduction is vital. A study at the Boston University Medical Center of overweight police officers and other public employees confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight.If you have been taking little exercise and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could bum an extra 100 calories daily. In a year' s time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lose ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.22. What do we learn about the average American from the passage?23、B[解析]Why do some people reject exercise in their efforts to lose weight?24、C[解析]What was confirmed by the Boston University Medical Center's study?25、A[解析]Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?Section C26、crash[解析] 26-36Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids, i.e. minor planets, one might (26) crash into earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists.Asteroids are bigger (27) versions of the meteoroids that race across the night sky.

"If we don't take care of these big asteroids, they'll take care of us," says one scientist. "It's that simple."The cure, though, might be worse than the disease.
