For each question there are four suggested answer marked A, B, C, and D. You should choose the ONE best answer.( 10 points, 1 point for each 1×10 ).Passage 1In the world in which we live today, a man may be one thing but appear to be another. This was impossible in Indian society. An Indian's name told the world what he was - a coward, a liar, a thief, or a brave.When I was young, every Indian had at least three names during his lifetime. His first name was given to him at birth. It described something that had happened at that time.Each Indian was supposed to keep his birth name until he was old enough to earn money for himself. But his friends would always give him a name of their own. No matter what his parents called him, his childhood friends would use the name they had chosen.The Indian earned his real name when he was old enough for his first fight against the enemy. His life name depended on how he acted during this first battle. When he returned he would be given his tribal name by the chief. If he had done well, he would be given a good name. But if he had done poorly, he might be given a bad name.A man was given many chances to improve his name, however. If in a later battle he was very brave in fighting against the enemy, he was given a better name. Some Indians had as many as twelve names - all good and each better than the last.All names given to one Indian belonged to him for the rest of his life. No one else could use them. Even he himself could not give them away. This was because no man could pass on his name unless the chief and the tribe asked him to do so.1. According to passage, Indian names were important because they __________.A. described the character of a manB. described the appearance of a manC. were never used by other peopleD. told us his profession2. __________ gave the second name of an Indian.A. The chiefB. The tribeC. His childhood friendsD. His parents3. According to the fourth paragraph, we know an Indian's "tribal name" refers to his __________.A. first nameB. second nameC. nicknameD. life name4. An Indian could get better names if he __________.A. did well in later battlesB. got old enoughC. became a cowardD. became a liar5. The sentence in the sixth paragraph "no one could pass on his name" may mean that __________.A. no one could change his name by himselfB. no one could give his name to a sonC. no one could give his name awayD. no one could give up his namePassage 2The young people who talk of the village as being "dead" are talking nothing but nonsense, as in their hearts they must surely know.No, the village is not dead. There is more life in it now than there ever was. But it seems that "Village life" is dead. Gone for ever. It began to decline about a hundred years ago, when many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away, and men also left home in increasing number in search of a work, and home was where work was.There are still a number of people alive today who can remember. What "village life" meant the early years of the present century? It meant knowing and being known by everybody else in the village. It meant finding your entertainment in the village within walking distance of it. It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day. It meant going to bed early to save lamp -oil and coal.Then came the First World War and the Second World War. After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were revealed to villagers. The long - established order of society was no longer taken for granted. Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make "village life" and "town life" almost alike. Now with the highly developed science and technology and high - level social welfare for all, there is no point whatever in talking any longer about "village life. " It is just life, and that a better life.Finally, if we have any doubts about the future, or about the many changes, which we have seen in our lives, we have only to look in at the school playground any mid - morning; or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups. Obviously these children are better fed, better clothed, better educated, healthier, prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before walked the village street.6. By saying that village is not dead, but "village life" is dead, the writer suggests that _________A. those young people who talk of the village as being "dead" are wrongB the two statements are against each otherC. "village life" today is rather uninterestingD. "village life" today is no longer like what is used to be.7. It was _________ that "village life" began to take a sharp turn.A. about a century agoB. during the two world warsC. with electricity and motorcars introduced into the villageD. only recently8. As is suggested in paragraph 2, villagers in the past _________A. lived a simpler life than villagers todayB. knew fewer people than villagers today.C. found it difficult to enjoy themselvesD. liked to wash themselves with cold water.9. The expression "There is no point whatever in talking about in paragraph 3 "means that _________A. there is no end to the talking aboutB. It is harmful to talk about.C. It is not meaningful to talk about.D. It is not meaningless to talk about.10. From the passage we can see that the writer's attitude toward "village life" is __________A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. unclearPart ⅥSentence Translation ( 20﹪)Directions: Translate the following sentences from English to Chinese or Chinese to English.(20 points, 2 point for each 2×10 ).1. 请把旧电脑换成了新电脑（replace）2．我记得我们第一次见面的那一天。

Could you advertise for two experienced translators in the newspapers? It is urgent.PART TWONear the end of 1994, people suddenly become "rich‘’, buying a lot of things. We have received the report that the real hourly wages of workers become even less ,so they do not have enough money to buy so many things. Although the employment is rising towards the end of 1994 ,the growth is very slow. Therefore ,not many people find jobs to earn enough money to buy goods. Then where does the big consumer confidence come from? We have discovered that people overspend with various credit cards ,buying goods. And they are not worried about returning the borrowed money. This it is our turn to be concerned about this kind of consumer confidence.。

《综合英语》课程标准课程代码：2212001适用专业：商务英语专业一、课程概述1．课程性质《综合英语》课程是英语专业基础阶段一二年级学生的专业主干课程。

根据《高等学校英语专业英语教学大纲》的“英语专业课程描述”，《综合英语（基础英语）》课程是一门综合英语技能课，主要培养学生英语听说读写的基本功，使学生熟练掌握以英语为工具进行交流。

同时它是《大学英语四/六级强化训练》课程、《商务英语阅读与写作》课程的基础，为学生顺利通过CET4/6打下基础。

2．课程设计思路针对《综合英语》的课程性质和任务，该课程的设计思路是以提高学生的英语基础知识为中心，切实的为学生打好英语基础，并为其大二、大三的专业英语的学习奠定坚实基础。

根据我校英语专业学生特点，其设计思路是：以就业为导向，以学生为中心，培养高技能的英语人才。

“高技能”一般指良好的听、说、读、写、译能力，由于我校学生专业背景的特殊性，《综合英语》还需关注英语文化知识的渗透。

(1)教学理念的改革。

突破以往的以英语语言知识的输入训练为指导的教学观念，将课程教学与学生的能力培养，特别是创新素质的培养有机地结合起来，将课程教学作为素质教育的有效载体；利用语言与文化间的纽带关系，在语言教学的同时，引导学生树立正确的世界观、人生观和价值观；突出学生主体，尊重个体差异，确立为“学”而“教”的指导思想；培养学生拥有良好的学习能力；将教书育人的过程转化为学生扎实的基本功，综合的知识结构，创新精神、创新能力和创新人格形成和发展的过程。

(2)教学内容的改革①摒弃“教教材”，采用“用教材”。

改革传统的以语言为目的的教学内容和方法，充分调动学生的原有知识，活化课堂讲授的学习内容。

即将课本“为我所用”，而不是“我跟着课本走”。

②综合英语是一门理论联系实际，实践性很强的课程。

因此，综合英语课的教学内容由课堂教学和第二课堂教学两个部分组成。

我系引进了一套英语网络学习平台，包括课文参考资料供学生预习、复习，更多的是课外的资料，如：英语词汇点滴；英语文化拾取；英语小说集锦；美国电视欣赏等等，丰富学生的英语文化知识，扩展眼界，缩小与母语国家文化的距离。

It can be long or short, formal or informal, simple or complicated, and verbal or written. Without a contract or agreement to bind the contracting parties, any international business or transaction (交易) would be impossible. Long ago, people exchanged promises in making bargains and binding the conduct of others. This exchange of promises came to be kno wn as “agreement” and became more and more important in the fields of business.A promise or agreement is reached as a result of the process of offer and acceptance. When an agreement is reached, a contract is formed. Once a contract is officially signed by the concerned parties, it creates legal obligations in the sense of law.A contract is the only document between the parties to which they may refer for clarification of mutual responsibilities. It should not be viewed as merely a document that initiates transaction and then filed and forgotten by the contracting parties. It must be drafted with an awareness of the background of the law in which the transaction takes place. It is proper to obtain legal advice as to the best set of contractual terms appropriate to the product and type of business.Though most of the contracts have many provisions in common, each is different from the others owing to the nature of the goods. Whether we are dealing with a long or preprinted form of the contract, there are certain key provisions that every contract should contain to avoid ambiguity and possible future conflicts. Whether to include other specific provisions depends on the type of goods, shipping and insurance complexities, and degree of trust and mutual confidence existing between buyer and seller.36.

As to contents of a contract, which of the following is not true?a. It differs from one another due to the difference existing in the nature of goods.b. It should be presented in language that is clear and precise.c. Apart from the key provisions that must be included, whether to include any other special provisions depends on a lot of factors.d.
