Reading ComprehensionDirections: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer.Passage OneOne of the most interesting experiments in electronic communicationI've ever seen is coming from Wave. It's real-time e-mail. What that means is that as you're typing a message in Wave, either a new message or a reply, the person you’re writing to can see what you're typing as you type it. Sounds awful, right?You don’t have to use Wave in this real-time way. It also works as a standard e-mail. What’s really different about Wave is that ifyou’re replying to a message and the person you're replying to happen to be online, they can jump into the conversation at that point, and change what is an e-mail conversation into an instant message conversation or a chat.Wave right now is still closed to most users. And Wave isn't yet connected to other communication systems, like regular e-mail, which means that the only people we can Wave with are other people on Wave as well. So we don’t yet know what using Wave will be like once it gets crowded like e-mail. Also, the technology behind Wave is far more demanding on servers and the Internet itself than regular e-mail or chat, so we don’t know if the technology will work at scale.But Wave really is a current re-think of e-mail. A lot of people won’t like it. A lot of people didn’t like e-mail either when it first showed up. But people will find real uses for Wave or whatever it becomes, and it's one of the most interesting new takes on communication. Even if you don't like it, it will make you think differently about e-mail.36. What is special about Wave?A. It makes people see each other online.B. It enables people to send real-time e-mails.C. It allows you to send more e-mails at the same time.D. It can be easily connected to other communication systems.37. It is uncertain that Wave will work on a large scale because______.A. people cannot find practical uses for itB. it will be a challenge to regular e-mailC. the technology it needs is more complicatedD. many people do not understand how it works38. We know from the last paragraph that ______.A. Wave is a basis for face-to-face communication on lineB. Wave allows people to look at e-mail from a new angleC. most Internet users will have access to WaveD. Wave is now as popular as standard e-mail39. What is the author's attitude toward Wave?A. Optimistic.B. Indifferent.C. Pessimistic.D. Critical.Passage TwoWell, it could not have got better for young Kavya Shivashankar, a13-year-old student from Olathe, Kansas as she came out very successfully at the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2009 (2009全美拼写大赛). On Thursday night she defeated the other 11 finalists to win the 82nd Scripps National Spelling Bee, taking home more than $40,000 cash money along with other prizes.Kavya Shivashankar, whose parents migrated to the United States from India, and who aims to become a doctor, enjoys playing the violin, bicycling, swimming and learning Indian classical dance.Thing came a bit late in Kavya’s life since she could win the championship with her fourth appearance in the competition. The last three times when she had taken part in the same competition she had finished Tenth, Eighth and Fourth.However, this time Kavya proved her courage and determination by winning the title she had been competing for so long. Her last challenge was to spell out " Laodicean". The word" Laodieean" means one who is indifferent, mostly in religious matters. She spelled it correctly and a big smile appeared on her face. Kavya wrote the words on her palm each time and spelled every word correctly.After winning Kavya exelaimed," I can’t believe it happened It feels kind of unreal. " Her family was there to support her through the competition. Her father, Mirle Shivashankar said, "The competitiveness is in her.., but she doesn’t show that. She still has that smile. That’s her quality. " He went on to say that this was" the moment" they had been waiting for so long. It was like" a dream come true" for them.40. Who is Kavya Shivashankar?A.

The image of a cabin represents his birthplace. Because Lincoln’s family was poor, and no one could have predicted his later importance, the actual cabin is long gone. Therefore the design is based on the "symbolic cabin" displayed at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site in Kentucky.The other designs show Abraham taking a break to read a book, the young lawyer Lincoln in front of the Illinois state capitol and a Lincoln-free image of the half finished U. S. Capitol dome as it looked during his time in office. These four coins-produced with today’s standard mix of 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper-are intended for general circulation.The Mint also released five collectible coins that sell for more than their face value. Special editions of the four penny designs were produced with the metal content used in 1909 ; a mix of 95 percent copper and 5 percent tin and zinc. In addition, in the world of "bigger" money,2009 has brought the Lincoln Commemorative One-Dollar Coin-made up of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper-with an image that has a Gettysburg Address theme.44. What does Paragraph 2 tell about the cabin on the coins?A. It is a symbolic cabin rebuilt in Kentucky.B. It is newly built for producing new coins.C. It has been protected well for over 200 years.D. It is exactly the one where Lincoln was born.45.

Collectible Coins for Abraham LincolnPassage FourLaura and Anthony Valois are a young New York couple who have been trying in vain to have their first child. Several years ago, Belinda Ramirez read an Internet adoption listing and quickly contacted them from her home in Texas ,telling them they could adopt her unborn baby. Excited, Laura and Anthony spent weeks communicating with Ramirez and got regular updates on her pregnancy.Before long, Ramirez began to ask them for financial support. That took the Valoises by surprise. But they were willing to do a lot to ensure a smooth birth. They sent more than $1,000 to Ramirez over several months.Laura and Anthony finally drove to Texas so they could be on hand for the birth. But once they arrived,Ramirez avoided their daily phone calls. After three weeks, the couple drove back to New Yorkemptyhanded and emotionally crushed.They later learned Ramirez had been cheating about ten other peoplefor such things as Wal-mart gift cards in states ranging from California to Ohio to Florida. From start to finish, it was a scam.In fact, Ramirez was never even pregnant. She was sentenced to 24 months in prison as she deserved."

They warn that angry hostile feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possible cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others explode with anger, and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing(压制) anger. For years many doctors thought that compared with expressing anger, repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health. It may speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure or sugar into the blood and narrow the blood vessels. To avoid these problems, doctors thought a person should let the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some doctors disputed this. They said that people who express anger repeatedly and explosively did cause, in fact, more and not less anger. They said these too can cause medical problems.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. Expressing anger intensively may be more likely to develop heart disease, and keeping anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it isn’t, they say," Don’t express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. "Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.52. The passage mainly focuses on ______.A. the causes of angerB. the medical treatment of angerC. the health problems caused by angerD. reasonable ways of dealing with anger53. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. keeping anger inside is better than expressing it intensivelyB. both repressing and expressing anger cause health problemsC. keeping anger inside is more likely to cause heart diseaseD. expressing anger freely can avoid medical problems54. The author of the passage is most probably a(n) ______.A. patientB. editorC. psychologistD. surgeon55. According to the passage, a good way to control anger is ______.A. to do sportsB. to be high-spiritedC. to turn it into laughterD. to discuss it with doctorsⅤ.

This year’s college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of san Jose State University, got a degree in religious studies, but he has not gotten any job offers. He points out that many people already working are getting laid off and don’t have jobs, so it’s even harder for new college graduates to f ind jobs.Four years ago, the future looked bright for his class of 2006. There were many high-tech (“dotcom”) job opportunities, graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as health insurance and paid v acations. However, “Times have changed. It’s a new market.” according to an officer of the university.The officer says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several short-time jobs, and they majored in fields that are still paying well, such as accounting or nursing.Even teaching is not a secure profession now. Ryan Stewart wanted to be a teacher, but instead he will probably go back to school in order to become a college teacher. He thinks college teaching could be a good career even in a bad economy.In conclusion, these days a college degree does not automatically lead to a good job with a high salary. Some students can only hope that the value of their degree will increase in the future.1. What did a college degree mean to people in the past?A. It was a proof of their professional skills.B. It would guarantee their quick promotion.C. It built up their confidence in the job market.D. It would help them to start an academic career.2. Ryan Stewart has not got any job offer because_______.A. there are too many graduates of his majorB. he wants to find a job with very high salaryC. he has not received a degree in the universityD. the job market has changed greatly since 20023. According to the passage, _______ had the best job prospects in 2002.A. computer scienceB. accountingC. teachingD. nursing4. Why does Ryan Stewart want to be a college teacher?A. Teaching jobs are well-paid.B. He majored in teaching in the university.C. College teaching is less challenging than high-tech jobs.D. College teaching career won’t be influenced by economy.5. It can be concluded from the passage that _______.A. the value of a college degree has decreased now.B. new college graduates today can’t find jobs.C. a college degree can still lead to a good job.D. graduates must prepare early to find jobs.Passage one 1.

The hot liquid got higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in the sea.As time went on, hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces. Sea waves hit against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being.Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little living things there. Only plants could grow first. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food. A spider made its web uselessly, because there were no insects(昆虫) for its web to catch. Insects couldn’t stay until there were plants for them to eat. So plants had to be the first life on this new island.61. The passage centers on _______ .A. how an undersea volcano broke outB. how an island rose up in the seaC. how soil was formed on a new islandD. how life began on a volcano- produced island62.

In the nearly sixty two years of his life that followed, he built a literary fame unsurpassed（无法超越）in the twentieth century.As a boy he was taught by his father to hunt and fish along the shores and in the forests around Lake Michigan. The Hemingways had a summer house in northern Michigan, and the family would spend the summer months there trying to stay cool. Hemingway would either fish the different streams that ran into the lake, or would take the small boat out to do some fishing there. He would also go squirrel hunting in the woods, discovering early in life the peace to be found while alone in the forest or going through a stream. It was something he could always go back to throughout his life, and though he often found himself living in major cities like Chicago, Toronto and Paris early in his life, once he became successful he chose somewhat isolated places to live in.When he wasn’t hu nting or fishing his mother taught him the good points of music. She was a skilled singer who once had wished a life on stage, but at last settled down with her husband and spent her time by giving voice and music lessons to local children, including her own. Hemingway was never talented for music and suffered through singing practices and music lessons, however, the musical knowledge he got from his mother helped him share in his first wife Hadley’s interest in the piano.66. Ernest Hemingway died in _______ .A. 1969B. 1979C. 1981D. 196167. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. His father taught him to fish and hunt when he was a boy.B.

The passage is most probably from _______ .A. a literary biographyB. a science textbookC. a term paperD. a personal diaryPassage ThreeWhat will man be like in the future—in 5000 or even 50000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change tool —the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at. This may well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.71. The passage tells us about _______ .A. how man’s life will be in the futureB. how future man will look likeC. the fact that man’s organs will function differently in the futureD. the fact that man is growing uglier as time passes72. There is evidence that man is changing, _______ .A. he has been growing taller over the past 500 yearsB. he has got stronger eyes than he ever hadC. his hair is getting thinner and thinnerD. his limbs are getting weaker because he tends to make less use of them73. Man’s forehead will grow larger because _______ .A. he will make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacityB. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due timeC. he had rather narrow forehead a few hundred years agoD. he will have to use his brain more and more as time goes on74. Future man will probably _______ .A. have smaller eyesB. have larger eyesC. see betterD. have to wear better glasses75 .The reason for believing that future man will be different is that he _______ .A. will grow strongerB. never stops changingC. hopes for a changeD. will live a different lifePassage FourAuctions （拍卖）are public sales of goods, made by an officially approved auctioneer. He asked the crowd assembled in the auction room to make offers, or bids, for the various items on sale. He encouraged buyers to bid higher figures, and finally named the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer bangs a small hammer on a table at which he stands. This is often set on a raised platform called a rostrum.The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auction, meaning “increase”. The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils taken in war, these sales were called “sub hash”, meaning “under the spear”, a spear being stuck in the ground as a signal for a crowd to gather. In England in the eighteenth century, goods were often sold “by the candle”: a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight.Practically all goods whose qualities varied are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, hides, skins, wool, tea, cocoa, furs, spices, fruit, vegetables and wines. Auction sales are alsousual for land and property, antique furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art. The auction r ooms at Christie’s and Sotheby’s in London and New York are world famous.An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by prospective buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and continue in numerical order; he may wait until he registers the fact that certain dealers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in. The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible.76. A “bidder” (in para. 1) is a person _______ .A. who sells something.B. who buys something.C. who offers a price.D. who borrows something.77. Auctioned goods are sold _______ price offered.A. for the highestB. for the fixedC. for the lowestD. for the unexpected78. The end of the bidding is called “knocking down” because _______ .A. the auctioneer knocks the buyer downB. the auctioneer knocks the rostrum downC. the goods are knocked down onto the tableD. the auctioneer bangs the table with a hammer79. The “candle” used in paragraph 2 is _______ .A. because they took place at nightB. as a signal for the crowd to gatherC. to give light to the auctioneerD. to limit the time when offers could be made80. An auction catalogue gives prospective buyers _______ .A. the current market values of the goodsB. details of the goods to be soldC. the order in which goods must be soldD. free admission to the auction salePart IV.

It was the summer of 1966.One afternoon I was sitting at a downtown taxi stand, hoping to get an airport run. Instead, I got a call from the manager, who told me to go to a newsstand and buy a racing form. Then I was to stop and pick up a six-pack of beer, some goldfish food and a box of cigars. He directed me to deliver the goods to an address in a nearby neighborhood.I protested, not wanting to lay out money from my own cash supply, because I was afraid I might not be able to collect the money.The manager told me this man was a regular customer. He assured me that there would be no problem with payment, and said I should get moving or bring the car back in. Since he put it that way, I got moving.The building smelled of tobacco smoke. I knocked on the door and could hear something moving across the floor.Finally the door opened, and there was a disabled man sitting on a small wood platform, looking up me.The man was polite and very grateful for my services. When I set the racing form down on the coffee table, I noticed an open velvet case that looked like a jewelry box. As the man rolled over and reached for some money to pay me, I glanced inside. There was a medal: a Purple Heart from World War 2.Guilt began to creep over me as he paid and gave me a generous tip. The man was a quiet sort of person, obviously not in need of companionship.He had long ago yielded to his condition and to the sacrifice he had made. I made that run many more times in my taxi until I moved on to another job, but I never learned his name and we never became friends despite our regular contact.Unfortunately for me, I would be more than twice the age I was back then before I learned that prejudging people makes you wrong about most things most of the time.20.

And that spells trouble for graduating college seniors, about to compete in the toughest job Market in decades.Blake Taylor, a senior at Catholic University in Washington D.C., expected to be an accountant when she graduates this May. But then her fortunes changed. She had a job offer that was taken back because the company says it’s no longer hiring. “It’s hard; it’s definitely hard,” she said. ”When they told me, I definitely felt like I had the air kicked out of me.”The jobless rate among college graduates has more than doubled from a year ago to 4.3 percent. Almost 2 million college graduates are unemployed and a recent survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers. “They could pretty much demand what they wanted in terms of a job and what they got from an employer. That’s no longer going to be the case.”One place recent graduates can look for work is the U.S. Government. They government has postings for more than 40,000 open positions right now and expects to increase hiring employees straight from college.College senior Peter Donald expects to find a job in government departments soon. But fellow senior Bill Frame is still looking for work. He spent months trying for a job on Wall Street without success, and has now widened his search to other industries. ”This is an every-morning thing for me now. I wake up and check my email and send 20 minutes checking on the different job sites, then usually another half hour to an hour doing applications,” Frame said.“What we say to them is your first job may not be your ideal job and so be more flexible, be more open to taking positions that maybe weren’t on your radar screen originally,” says Dr. Alan Goodman, a career counselor at Catholic University.That’s a message Blake Taylor, at least, has taken to heart. “As doors close, windows open,” she said. “If you can’t go through the front, go through the back. You’ll find a way; you have to find a way.”24. The word “soaring” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ______.A. becoming worseB. rising rapidlyC. remaining unchangedD. improving fast25. The unemployment rate among college graduates is nearly ______.A. 4.3%B. 10%C.22%D. 20%26. Compared with other places, one place graduates can look for work is ______.A. Catholic UniversityB. National AssociationC. The U.S. GovernmentD. Wall Street27. According to the last paragraph, what attitude does Blake Taylor hold towards job hunting?A. Reluctant.B. Indifferent.C. Curious.D. Confident.Questions 28 to 31 are based on the following passage.The typical conversation between Americans takes a form that is quick and witty. No one speaks for very long. Speakers take turns frequently, often after only a few sentences have been spoken. “Watching a conversation between two Americans is like watching a table tennis game,” a German observer said. “Your head goes back and forth and back and forth so fast it makes your neck hurt.”Americans tend to be impatient with people who take long turns. Such people are said to “talk too much.” Many Americans have difficulty paying attention to someone who speaks more than a few sentences at a time, as Nigerians, Arabs, and some others do. Americans value conciseness, or what they call “getting to the point.”Americans engage in little ritual interaction (礼节式的互致问候). Only a few ritual greetings are common:”How are you?”“I’ m fine, thank you,”“Nice to meet you,” and “Hope to see you again.” These things are said in certain situations and are concerned with form rather than with substance. That is, similar questions are supposed to be asked and statements are supposed to be made in particular situations, no matter what the people involved are feelings or what they really have in mind. To many Americans, people who rely heavily on ritual greetings are “too shy” or “too polite,” unwilling to show their true natures and ideas.Americans are generally impatient with long ritual greetings about family members’ health-common among Latin Americans-considering them a waste of time.28. What is the feature of a typical conversation between Americans?A. Concise and direct.B. Long but politeC. Friendly and quickD. Slow but witty.29. By comparing a conversation between two Americans to a table tennis game, the German observer means that _______.A. Americans enjoy talking as well as watching table tennis gamesB. Americans like to take short turns in a conversation.C. Americans get excited easily in a conversationD. Americans talk with great emotion30. Americans _______ when they talk with Arabs.A. pay enough attentionB. May lose their patienceC. speak more than a few sentencesD. will get to the point31. According to this passage, Americans have a low opinion of people who ______.A. do not talk as much as possible.B. do not pay attention to the speaker.C. like to ask about other people’s healthD. bring too many ritual greetings into a conversation.Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage.It is common for older people to forget things. Now an American study has found that memory starts to fail when we are young adults. People younger than thirty usually do not know that they are starting to forget information. But scientists from the University of Michigan say the loss of memory usually has already started.Researchers say people do not observe this slow reduction in mental ability until the loss affects their everyday activities.Denise Park is leading the new study. She directs the Center for Aging and Cognition at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. Her team has studied more than 350 men and women between the ages of twenty and ninety. The study has identified people in their middle twenties with memory problems.She says young adults do not know that they are forgetting things because theirBut she says that people in their twenties and thirties are losing memory at the same rate as people in their sixties and seventies.Ms. Park says people between the ages of sixty and seventy may note the decrease in their mental abilities. They begin to observe that they are having more trouble remembering and learning new information.The study has found that older adults are more likely to remember false information as being true. For example, they remember false medical claims as being true. Younger people remember hearing the information, but they are more likely to remember that it is false.Ms. Park is now using modern imaging equipment to study what happens in the brains of people of different ages. She is studying what parts of the brain older adults use for different activities compared to younger adults. Ms. Park says mental performance is a direct result of brain activity and brain structure. She says older people should take part in activities that keep their brain active. She hopes that future studies will identify ways to improve the operation of our aging minds.32. The passage is meant to ______.A. introduces effective ways to improve memory.B. emphasize the importance of exercising the brainC. analyze the difference between different age groups in the loss of memoryD. reveals the decrease in mental ability of the young adults as well as the older adults33. According to a recent American study, people start losing their mental ability _____.A. in their early teensB. in their mi-sixtiesC. in their mid-twentiesD. in their early thirties34. With regard to memory reduction, young adults differ from older adults in that______.A. They lose their memory at a slower rateB. Their brains can store much more informationC. They rarely realize they have memory problemsD. They are more likely to remember false information35. It can be inferred from what Denis Park says that _______.A. Mental performance can be improvedB. Mental ability is determined entirely by brain structureC. People of different ages use different parts of the brain for memorizingD. Different parts of the brain are responsible for different mental activitiesPartⅢClozeDirections: There is a passage in this part with 10 blanks in it.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incompletestatements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneThousands of years ago, in the middle of an ocean, miles from the nearest island, an undersea volcano broke out. The hot liquid got higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in the sea.As time went on, hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces. Sea waves hit against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being.Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little living things there. Only plants could grow first. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food. A spider made its web uselessly, because there were no insects(昆虫) for its web to catch. Insects couldn’t stay until there were plants for them to eat. So plants had to be the first life on this new island.41. The passage centers on _______ .A. how an undersea volcano broke outB. how an island rose up in the seaC. how soil was formed on a new islandD. how life began on a volcanoproduced island42. According to the passage, the island got its first soil from _______ .A. sea wavesB. the sand brought by the windC. its own rockD. cool rains43. The word “naked” (in para. 3) could be replaced by which of the following?A. redB. newC. oldD. bare44.

According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Spiders were the first life that could live on the island.B. The island is far away from any piece of land.C. Insects could not live on the island without plantsD. Plants were brought to the island by human beingsPassage TwoErnest Miller Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899 in Oak Park, Illinois. In the nearly sixty two years of his life that followed, he built a literary fame unsurpassed(无法超越) in the twentieth century.As a boy he was taught by his father to hunt and fish along the shores and in the forests around Lake Michigan. The Hemingways had a summer house in northern Michigan, and the family would spend the summer months there trying to stay cool. Hemingway would either fish the different streams that ran into the lake, or would take the small boat out to do some fishing there. He would also go squirrel hunting in the woods, discovering early in life the peace to be found while alone in the forest or going through a stream. It was something he could always go back to throughout his life, and though he often found himself living in major cities like Chicago, Toronto and Paris early in his life, once he became successful he chose somewhat isolatedplaces to live in.When he wasn’t hunting or fishing his mother taught him the good points of music. She was a skilled singer who once had wished a life on stage, but at last settled down with her husband and spent her time by giving voice and music lessons to local children, including her own. Hemingway was never talented for music and suffered through singing practices and music lessons, however, the musical knowledge he got from his mother helped him share in his first wife Hadley’s interest in the piano.46. Ernest Hemingway died in _______ .A. 1969B. 1979C. 1981D. 196147. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. His father taught him to fish and hunt when he was a boy.B.

The passage is most probably from _______ .A. a literary biographyB. a science textbookC. a term paperD. a personal diaryPassage ThreeWhat will man be like in the future — in 5000 or even 50000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even five hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change tool — the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our fingers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at. Thismay well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.51. The passage tells us about _______ .A. how man’s life will be in the futureB. how future man will look likeC. the fact that man’s organs will function differently in the futureD. the fact that man is growing uglier as time passes52. There is evidence that man is changing, _______ .A. he has been growing taller over the past 500 yearsB. he has got stronger eyes than he ever hadC. his hair is getting thinner and thinnerD. his limbs are getting weaker because he tends to make less use of them53. Man’s forehead will grow larger because _______ .A. he will make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacityB. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due timeC. he had rather narrow forehead a few hundred years agoD. he will have to use his brain more and more as time goes on54. Future man will probably _______ .A. have smaller eyesB. have larger eyesC. see betterD. have to wear better glasses55. The reason for believing that future man will be different is that he _______ .A. will grow strongerB. never stops changingC. hopes for a changeD. will live a different lifePassage FourAuctions(拍卖) are public sales of goods, made by an officially approved auctioneer. He asked the crowd assembled in the auction room to make offers, or bids, for the various items on sale. He encouraged buyers to bid higher figures, and finally named the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer bangs a small hammer on a table at which he stands. This is often set on a raised platform called a rostrum.The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auction, meaning “increase”. The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils taken in war, these sales were called “sub hash”, meaning “under the spear”, a spear being stuck in the ground as a signal for a crowd to gather. In England in the eighteenth century, goods were often sold “by the candle”: a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight.Practically all goods whose qualities varied are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, hides, skins, wool, tea, cocoa, furs, spices, fruit, vegetables and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, antique furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art. The auction rooms at Christie’s and Sotheby’s in London and New York are world famous.An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by prospective buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and continue in numerical order he may wait until he registers the fact that certain dealers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in. The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible.56. A “bidder” (in para. 1) is a person _______ .A. who sells something.B. who buys something.C. who offers a price.D. who borrows something.57. Auctioned goods are sold _______ price offered.A. for the highestB. for the fixedC. for the lowestD. for the unexpected58. The end of the bidding is called “knocking down” because _______ .A. the auctioneer knocks the buyer downB. the auctioneer knocks the rostrum downC. the goods are knocked down onto the tableD. the auctioneer bangs the table with a hammer59. The “candle” used in paragraph 2 is _______ .A. because they took place at nightB. as a signal for the crowd to gatherC. to give light to the auctioneerD. to limit the time when offers could be made60. An auction catalogue gives prospective buyers _______ .A. the current market values of the goodsB. details of the goods to be soldC. the order in which goods must be soldD. free admission to the auction salePart Ⅲ Cloze ( 1 x 20 )Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

Students and professors, parents and children, employers and employees, friends, and even enemies-all communicate. We have been communicating with others from the first weeks of life and will keep on doing so until we die.Why study the activity of communication you’ve done during your entire life? There are three reasons. First, studying interpersonal (⼈际的) communication will give you a new look at a familiar topic. For instance, you will find that some people can go years – even lifetimes –without communicating in a truly interpersonal manner. In this sense, exploring human communication is rather like studying mathematics and physics—everyday objects take on new meaning.A second reason for studying the subject has to do with the surprisingly huge amount of time we spend communicating .A research study once measured the amount of time a sample of college students spent on various activities .The researchers found that they spent an average of over 61 percent of their waking time engaging in some form of communication.The third reason is even more surprising. Franking speaking, none of us communicate as effectively as we wound. Our friendships, jobs, and studies suffer because we fail to express ourselves well and understand others accurately. If you pause now and make a mental list of communication problems you have encountered(遇到), you’ll see that, no matter how successful your relationships, there is plenty of room for improvement in your everyday communication.26. Communication is an activity that__________A) most people are interested inB) is more important than other activitiesC) accompanies us throughout the lifeD) people can do very well all the time27. In Paragraph 2,‖the activity of communication you’ve done during your e ntirelife‖ refers to ______.A) study and research C) your personal life experienceB) your life long career D) interpersonal communication28. What is surprising about the research result of communication? ____A) College students spend a lot of time doing various activities.B) Communication takes a huge amount of people’s walking time.C) The amount of time people spend communicating cannot be measured.D) 61 percent of the college students are engaged in some form ofcommunication.29. What is true about the interpersonal communication according to the passage? ___A) Interpersonal communication is a subject everybody is interested in.B) No one can probably communicate as effectively they would.C) We often stop to think of the communication problems.D) People never fail to express themselves well.30. From the last paragraph of the passage, we can infer that_____.A) People are born with the ability to communicateB) the results of the research are unbelievably surprisingC) everyone needs to improve their ability of communicationD) it is a new challenge for people to study interpersonal communication Passage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The internet is now becoming increasingly popular. People use it for their work and students use it for finding information about their school work. It can also be used for leisure. However, the Internet can be a very dangerous place sometimes. Some people are waiting there to cheat or harm you. Here are some tips for you to follow.Do Not Believe Everything You Read OnlineYou should not believe everything online. This is especially true if you visit chat rooms. In most chat rooms, you will be talking with unknown people. You do not know who you are talking to. Some people hide their identity just for fun. However, some people will often hide identities online to cheat or harm you.Keep Your Personal Information PrivateMost of the time, an online chat will be about discussing a favorite movie or similar topics. Sometimes, the topic may take on a personal turn. You should always keep your personal information private. You must always be on your guard and never give out any of your details, especially to strangers.
