They are very popular among Chinese people, home or abroad. Moon-cakes are to Mid-Autumn Festival what mince pies are to Christmas. To celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chinese people must do two things: enjoy the full moon and eat delicious moon-cakes. Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the Lunar calendar. It is the time when the moon is said to be at its brightest and fullest. And the moon is what this celebration is all about. (81) In the eyes of the Chinese people, a moon-cake takes the shape of a round moon and thus symbolize s the reunion of all familymembers.Therefore, Mid-Autumn Festival is regarded as one of the most important to the Chinese people. It’s a good time for the whole family to be together. So on that day, everyone would try his best to get home. A big family dinner would be held in the evening, with the bright moon in the sky and the moon-cakes of all sorts at the table to express best wishes.The seasonal round cakes traditionally have a sweet filling of lotus seed or red bean and often have one or more salted duck eggs in the center to represent the moon. Traditional moon-cakes are made with melted lard, but today vegetable oil is more often used in the interests of health. Nowadays moon-cakes with different flavors and sizes are also being produced to cater for different consumer s’ requirement s.Moon-cakes are usually stamped with Chinese character s indicat ing the name of the bakery and the type of filling used. Some bakeries will even stamp them with your family name so that you can give more personalize d moon cakes to friends and family. They are usually presented in boxes of four which indicate the four phases of the moon.Moon-cakes are not for the diet-conscious as they are loaded with calories.

It matters not what you inquire into, but when you once inquire into a thing, you must never give it up until you have thoroughly understood it.

That is almost 1 out of every 3 people in the United States. Some people go on ideas. This means they eat less certain foods, especially fats and sugars. Other people exercise with especial equipment, take diet pills, or even have surgery. Losing weight is hard work, and it can also cost a lot of money. So why do so many people in the United States want to lose weight?Many people in the United States worry about not looking young and attractive. For many people, looking good also means being thin. Other people worry about their health. Many doctors say being overweight is not healthy. But are Americans really fat?(83) Almost 30 million Americans weight at least 20 percent more than their ideal weight. In fact, the United State is the most overweight country in the world. “The stored fat of adult Americans weight 2.3 trillion pounds,”says University of Massachusetts anthropologist (人类学家) George Armelagos. He says burning off that stored energy would produce enough power for 900,000 cars to go 12,000 miles.Losing weight is hard work, but most people want to find a fast and easy way to take off fat. Bookstores sell lots of diet books. These books tell readers how to lose weight. Each year, dozens of new books like these are written. Each one boasts to help people to get rid of fat.11. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way oflosing weight?A．T o eat less fats and sugars. B．T o have surgery.C．T o take much exercise. D．To work hard.12.

It can be concluded from the passage that .A. people think too much of their appearanceB. there is not a sure way of losing weight as yetC. surgery is the fastest way of losing weightD. going on diet is a safe way of losing weightPassage 4Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:Can animals be made to work for us? Some scientists think that one day animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs that are now done by human beings.They point out that at a circus, for example, we may see elephants, monkeys, dogs and other animals doing quite skillfulthings. Perhaps you have seen them on the television or in a film. If you watch closely, you may notice that the trainer always gives the animal a piece of candy or a piece of fruit as a reward. (84) The scientists say that many different animals may be trained to do a number of simple jobs if they know they will get reward for doing them.(85) Of course, as we know, dogs can be used to guard a house, and soldiers in both old and modern times have used geese to give warning by making a lot of noise when a stranger or an enemy comes near. But it may be possible to train animals to work in factories, In Russia, for example, pigeons, which are birds with good eyesight, are being used to watch out for faults in small steel balls that are being made in one factory. When the pigeon sees a ball which looks different from others, it touches a steel plate with its beak （鸟嘴）. This turns on a light to warn people in the factory. At the same time a few seeds are given as a reward. It takes three to five weeks to train a pigeon to do this and one pigeon can inspect 3,000 to 4,000 balls an hour.Apes（类人猿）have been used in American in helping to make cars, and scientists believe that these large monkeys maybe one day gather crops and even drive trains.Circus 马戏团goose 鹅pigeon鸽子1.

For each blank there are four choices. Choose the one that best fits into the passage and then marks your answer on the Answer Sheet.For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, tradepublications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines: a never-ending flood of words. In 61 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 62 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us are 63 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 64 at an early age, and never get over them. The main defect 65 in the actual content of language itself - words. Taken individually, words have 66 meaning until they are connected together into phrased, sentences and paragraphs. 67 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words. He laboriously reads one word at a time, often falling back to 68 words or passages. Regression, the tendency to look back over 69 you have just read, is a common bad habit in reading. Another habit which 70 down the speed of reading is vocalization—sounding each word either orally or mentally as 71 reads.To overcome these bad habits, some reading clinics(诊所) use a device called an 72 , which moves a bar (or curtain) down the page at a predetermined speed. The bar is set at a slightly faster rate 73 the reader finds c omfortable, in order to “stretch” him.The accelerator(速读器) forces the reader to read fast, 74 word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization, practically impossible. At first 75 is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster,76 your comprehension will improve. Many people have found77 reading skill improved fast after some training. 78 Charlce Au,a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 172 words a minute 79 the training, now it is an excellent 1,378 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can 80 a lot more reading material in a short period of time.61.A.applying B.doing C.offering D.getting62.A.quickly B.easily C.roughly D.decidedly63.A.good B.curious C.poor D.urgent64.A.training B.habits C.situations D.custom65.A.lies/doc/6ffa88c3acf8941ea76e58fafab069dc 51224767.html bines C.touches D.involves66.A.some B.A lot C.little D.dull67.A.Fortunately B.In fact C.Logically D.Unfortunately68.A.reuse B.reread C.rewrite D.recite69.A.what B.which C.that D.if70.A.scales B.cuts C.slows D.measures71.A.some one B.one C.he D.reader72.A.accelerator B.actor C.amplifier D.observer73.A.then B.as C.beyond D.than74.A.enabling B.leading C.making D.indicating75.A.meaning/doc/6ffa88c3acf8941ea76e58fafab069dc 51224767.html prehension C.gist D.regression76.A.but B.nor C.or D.for77.A.our B.your C.their D.such a78.A Look at B.Take C.Make D.Consider79.A.for B.in C.after D.before80.A.master B.go over C.present D.get through第II卷（共50分）Part IV Translation （共35分）Section A （共5小题，每小题4分，共20分）Directions: Translate the following sentences into Chinese.

20江苏专升本英语试题及答案一、阅读理解（共20分）1. 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

In the past, it was believed that the Earth was the center of the universe. This view, known as the geocentric model, was widely accepted until the 16th century when the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus proposed a new model. According to Copernicus, the Sun, not the Earth, was the center of the universe. This heliocentric model was later supported by the observations of Galileo Galilei and the laws of planetary motion formulated by Johannes Kepler.The geocentric model was based on the idea that the Earth was stationary and all other celestial bodies, including the Sun, revolved around it. This belief was reinforced by the fact that the Earth's motion could not be detected by the naked eye. However, Copernicus argued that the Earth, along with other planets, revolved around the Sun. This idea was revolutionary at the time and challenged the established religious and scientific beliefs.Galileo's observations through his telescope provided evidence that supported the heliocentric model. He observed the phases of Venus, which could only be explained if Venus orbited the Sun, and the mountains on the Moon, which indicated that the Moon was not a perfect sphere as previously thought. Kepler's laws of planetary motion further supported the heliocentric model by describing the elliptical orbits of the planets around the Sun.The acceptance of the heliocentric model marked a significant shift in the understanding of the universe and laid the foundation for modern astronomy.问题：(1) What was the geocentric model based on?A. The belief that the Sun was the center of the universe.B. The belief that the Earth was stationary and other celestial bodies revolved around it.C. The belief that the Earth revolved around the Sun.D. The belief that the Earth was the center of the universe and moved.答案：B(2) Who first proposed the heliocentric model?A. Galileo GalileiB.

第I卷（共100分）Part I Reading Comprehension （共20⼩题，每⼩题2分，共40分）Passage One - Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:V olcanoes（⽕⼭）have been erupting （爆发）on the earth for millions of years. More than five hundred still erupt today. These are called active volcanoes. V olcanoes are located in belts or chains. They are found where the earth's crust （外壳）is weak. The weak spots let the hot rock escape when the volcano erupts.(81) Many volcano belts are mountain ranges along the edges of continents. One belt runs along the western coast of South America up through the western part of the United States. Other volcanoes are found in ocean basins（盆地）.About three-fifths of all active volcanoes in the world are in the Pacific Ocean. Many of these volcanoes erupt under the water. The Hawaiian Islands were built by volcanoes that began erupting under water and finally reached the surface of the ocean.1. The selection says that about five hundred volcanoes ______.A. will erupt this yearB. are still activeC. are located under waterD. are all that have ever been discovered2.

How the Hawaiian Islands Were BuiltB. At the Bottom of the OceanC. Why V olcanoes EruptD. The Earth's V olcanoesPassage Two - Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The Antarctic（南极洲）is actually a desert. It is the only continent on the earth without a river or a lake.The Antarctic is all ice all year round. The warmest temperature ever recorded there is zero, at the South Pole. (82) Explorers used to think that a place so cold would have a heavy snowfall. But less than ten inches of snow falls each year. That is less than half an inch of water. Ten times that much moisture falls in parts of the Sahara.The little snow that falls in Antarctic never melts. It continues to pile up deeper and deeper year after year. When the snow gets to be about eighty feet deep it is turned to ice by the weight of the snow above it.6. Antarctica is called a desert because it ______.A. is sandyB. has the same temperature as a desertC. has little moisture and no lakes or riversD. All of the above7. The Antarctic has ______.A. ten times as much moisture as the SaharaB. the same amount of moisture as the SaharaC. about one-tenth the moisture of the SaharaD. None of these.8.

The snow in Antarctic is very deep because it ______.A. never stops fallingB. piles up year after yearC. never meltsD. Both B and C10. The snow turns to ice when ______.C. the next snowfall comesD. the snow above it is heavy enoughPassage Three - Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:The sale of goods and services is not restricted to local regional or national markets; it often takes place on an international basis. Nations import goods that they lack or cannot produce as efficiently as other nations, and they export goods they can produce more efficiently. (83) This exchange of goods and services in the world, or global market is known as international trade. There are three main benefits to be gained from this type of exchange.First, international trade makes scarce goods available to nations that need or desire them. When a nation lacks the resources needed to produce goods domestically, it may import them from another country. Second, international trade allows a nation to specialize in production of those goods for which it is particularly suited. This often results in increased output, decreased costs, and a higher national standard of living. Natural, human, and technical resources help determine which products a nation will specialize in.There are two economic principles that help explain how and when specialization is advantageous. According to the theory of absolute advantage, a nation ought to specialize in the goods that it can produce more cheaply than its competitors or in the goods that no other nation is able to produce. According to the theory of comparative advantage, a nation ought to concentrate on the products that it can produce most efficiently and profitably.The third benefit of international trade is its political effects. Nations that trade together develop common interests which may help them overcome political differences. Economic cooperation has been the foundation for many political alliances (联盟).11. Nations import goods they .A. produce efficientlyB. specialize inC. lack or can’t produce efficientlyD. do not need or desire12. Specialization often results in.A. increased outputB. decreased costsC. higher standard of livingD. all of the above13. What is the best title for this passage?A. Three BenefitsB. Two Economic Principles.C. What Is International TradeD. Why Nations Trade14. According to the passage, what enables the U.S. to specialize in the computer industry?A. natural resourcesB. technical resourcesC. human resourcesD. international resourcesB. The national standard of living is raisedC. Foreign competition endangers domestic industriesD. The international market gets flooded Passage Four - Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition of each new skill – the first spoken word, the first independent step, or the beginning of reading and writing.It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early; a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find our new things for himself. (84) Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict inmoney matters. Others are severe over time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child’s own happiness. (85) As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality. Also, parents should re alize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach, their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.16. Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition o f new skills .A. must be avoidedB. is very common among parentsC. sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD. will make him lose interest in learning new things17. In the process of children’s learning new skills parents .A. should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they readB. should not expect too much of themC. should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD. should create as many learning opportunities as possible18. The second paragraph mainly tells us that .A. parental restrictions vary, and are not always for the benefit of the children aloneB. parents’ controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the communityC. parents should be strict with their childrenD. parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation19. The word “preach” probably means “”.A. advocateB. dislikeC. instructD. wonderA. forbid things which have no foundation in moralityB. consistently ensure the security of their childrenC. observe the rules themselvesD. be aware of the marked difference between adults and children.Part II Vocabulary21.

If you ____ any problems when you arrive at the airport，give me a ring.A. come up withB. set aboutC. run intoThere are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people 61 to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you 62 is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you 63 others. Because while there will be times 64 outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely 65 . The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are 66 . Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision 67 anyway.You were 68 with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of the time, you will make the right decision and 69 the appropriate actions, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone against your own 70 .Early on in my investment career, I made the mistake of 71 a few important business decisions on coll eagues’ opinions instead of conducting the 72 necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to 73 on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being 74 to Wall Street, I intended to assume that my more senior 75 knew more than I did, and so I 76 too much significance to their opinions.You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in 77. Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by 78 and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to 79 this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to 55 and to life.61 A. easy B. ready C. unwilling D. hard62.

It enables people to express themselves, as well as to entertain, in, and influence others. With only a few tools—paper, a typewriter, a pencil, and often a personal computer—a writer can have an impact on the surrounding world. But most authors spend hundreds of hours perfecting their skills before they can sell any of their works. A person who wants to be a writer should set aside some time to write every day. Learning to express ideas clearly and effectively in writing takes a greatdeal of practice. Many experienced writers keep a journal. A journal can serve as a storehouse for ination, observations, and ideas. It can also be a place to develop new material. Beginning writers should read many kinds of writing encountered every day and pay special attention to what they find most interesting. News items, feature stories, textbooks, cookbooks, repair manuals, poems, essays, short stories, novels, and plays differ in their s of organizing and presenting material. A beginning writer who reads widely and carefully will develop an appreciation of different writing approaches and styles. In time, the writer can acquire a more flexible approach to his or her own work. Successful authors write about subjects they know and understand. They sometimes take weeks or months revising or refining an article, poem, or story. Beginning writers usually benefit from finding one or more friendly critics who will read their work and discuss its strengths and weaknesses with them. High schools and colleges offer many learning opportunities for young writers. Composition and literature courses can be helpful. Creative writing and journalism courses may further assist a beginning writer in developing his or her skills. Many students work on literarymagazines, newspapers, or yearbooks published by their schools. They may write stories, edit articles, or gain other valuable experience. 21.

That is Rose, an eighty-seven-year-old lady who always wore a big smile on her face. “Why are you in college at this age?” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me. Over the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed being the center of attention from the other students. She was living it up! At the end of the semester, we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. She was introduced and stepped up to the stage. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her speech cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the speaker and simply said, “I’m sorry I’m a bit nervous. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me!” As we laughed Rose cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop laughing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it! Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we didn’t do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets. Finally, there is a huge difference between growing old and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn twenty. This is growing old, by doing nothing to your life. The idea of growing up is to always find opportunity to change.” At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral. When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful advice to your friends and family: Remember, we cannot avoid growing old, but we can choose our own ways to grow up. 26. Why was Rose in college? A. Because she always wanted to have a college degree. B. Because she thought college was fun and she could make many friends. C. Because she has never gone to a college. D. Because she enjoyed being the center of attention from the other students. 27. According to para. 3, howdid Rose live her college life? A. She always dressed up and never attend any class. B. She was quiet and didn’t want to make any friends. C. She was easygoing and made lots of friends. D. She wasn’t making the best out of her college life. 28. How did she react when she dropped her speech note at the football banquet? A. She got very nervous and stopped speaking. B. She was drunk with too much whiskey. C. She had to give up beer for this mistake. D. She continued her speech with a joke. 29. What does Rose m ean by “so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it”?A. They are killed by them walking around.B. They are “dead” because they don’t have any dreams.C. They are “dead” because are they are not satisfied with their life.D. They are “dead” because they don’t know anything. 30. According to Rose, which one of the following is correct about the difference between “growing old” and “growing up”? A. Both mean the aging process where a child becomes a grown-up. B. Both mean lots of changes.C. “Growing old” is sad, but “growing up” is happy.D. “Growing old” is natural, but “growing up” is something we can control. Passage 3 Lovebirds. That’s what all our friends called us when we first married. I guess Don and I deserved it. Money wastight. Sometimes we’d have to save up days just for an ice cream cone. Still, our tiny apartment seemed like paradise. Love does that, you know. The more we heard the term “lovebirds”, the more we thought about birds. One day we started saving up for a couple of lovebirds of our own. We knew we couldn’t afford to buy both birds and a nice cage, so in his spare moments, Don made the cage himself. We put our cage in front of a shaded window. Then we waited until our little saving was full of bills and spare change. With that money we “adopted” a pair of canaries from our local pet store, a male and a female, and named them Sunshine and Snowball. Time passed, and when our young lovebirds finally seemed mature enough to start a family of their own, we went ahead and prepared a nest area and lots of nesting material for them. Snowball was a very exacting wife in designing and decorating their nest just so, while Sunshine, filled with love, bent over backward to put everything just where she ordered. Then one day an egg appeared. How they sang! And a few weeks later when a tiny chick hatched, their happiness seemed to know no bounds. I don’t know how it happened, but that baby bird was bright orange. So right off we named him Punkinhead. The sunny days passed. How proud all of uswere when our baby bird ran out of the nest onto a real grown-up perch! Then one day, Punkinhead suddenly fell head down to the bottom of the cage. The tiny orange bird just lay there, both parents and I rushed to his rescue. But he was dead. Just like that. Whether he’d had a heart attack before he fell or broke his neck in the fall, I’ll never know. But Punkinhead was gone. The mother bird refused to let either Sunshine or me get near that little body. Instead of the joyful melodies I usually heard from Snowball, now she gave only the most heartbreaking cries and moans. Her heart, joy and will seemed completely melted by her sorrow. Poor Sunshine didn’t know what to do. He kept trying to push Snowball away from her sad situation, but she refused to move. Instead, over and over she kept trying to wake up her beloved child. Finally Sunshine seemed to work out a plan. He convinced her to fly up and eat some seeds every so often, while he stood duty in her place. Then each time she left, he’d quietly place one piece of straw over Punkinhead’s body. Just one. But in a few days, piece by piece, it was completely covered over. At first Snowball seemed panic when she looked around, but she didn’t try to uncover the chick. Instead, she flew up to her normal place and stayed there. Then I was ableto quietly reach in and remove the little body. After that, Sunshine spent all his time comforting Snowball. Eventually she started making normal sounds, and then one day, her sorrow finally melted and she sang again. I don’t know if Snowball ever realized the quiet labor of love and healing Sunshine had done for her. But they remained devoted for as long as they both lived. Love does that, you know. 31.The title of the passage is “When Snowball Melted”. What does the title mean? A. The increasing temperature made the snowball melt. B. The bird called Snowball was too sad for her kid’s death so she became weaker and weaker. C. The grief born by the bird called Snowball for the death of her kid was dissolved by her husband’s love. D. The bird called Snowball was loved by her husband so it seemed like a snowball was melted. 32. Why did “our tiny apartment seemed like paradise” even though we were poor? A. Because we love our tiny apartment. B. Because the tiny apartment housed a couple in love. C. Because we kept two birds in love in the tiny apartment. D. Because our tiny apartment was clean and cozy. 33. In paragraph 4, why does the author use “‘adopted’a pair of canaries from our local pet store” instead of the word “buy”? A. “Adopted” is used here to show that thebirds are deserted by the store so the couple adopted them. B. “Adopted” is used here to show the couple’s love for the birds, while the word “buy”seemed to be cold and emotionless. C. “Adopted” is used he re to show that nobody wanted the birds so the couple were the only one who bought them. D. there is no special reason why “adopted” is used here. 34. What is the cause of Punkinhead’s death? A. He’d had a heart attack before he fell.B. He broke his neck in the fall.C. He was attacked by a cat.D. the cause of Punkinhead’s death is unknown. 35.

He flew up to her normal place and stayed there. C. He convinced her to fly up and eat some seeds every so often, while he stood duty in her place. D. each time she left, he’d quietly place one piece of straw over Punkinhead’s body. Passage 4 They say there are three apples that changed the world. The first apple belongs to Adam, from the Garden of Eden. Yes, according to Christians, it was Adam’s apple that first changed humankind — the act of man disobeying to higher power that sets us apart by God. Adam’s story teaches us the importance ofsubmission. We are becoming more self-sustained and forget the cores of life — love, joy and peace. Families, friends and our beloved ones are often neglected when we become self-centered in our jobs and responsibilities. We need to be reminded to love and be loved, stand firm in love and cherish the goodness of other people in our lives. The second most influential apple didn’t come until the 15th Century. A man sat under the famous apple tree and the universe-consigned apple fell right on his head, leading him to the famous law of universal gravitation. Sir Isaac Newton’s apple changed the world of science as well as mathematics by stating that “every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force directed along the line of centers for the two objects.” and so on. The point here is, Newton’s apple has not only inspired him to come up with the law of gravitation, but also encouraged human to dream big and to explore the world with imaginations. Many other great people arose from Newton’s great works and findings. Last but bot least, it is of course Steve Jobs’Apple that has put the world on a different pace, in terms of his innovations in consumer electronics, computer software and personal computers. Jobs’ success stories took up each corner ofGoogle’s page after he passed away. The highlight is none other than his return to Apple after being kicked out of his own company in 1997. When he tried to lure John Sculley as Apple’s CEO, he asked,”Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want to change the world?” That obviously worked out pretty well. Yet, it was the passion towards innovation that Jobs has injected into his career that put him onto the top of the world. His life has definitely inspired many to contribute to the society through creativity. So here are three apples that changed our lives — three men at three totally different time of the history. How’s your apple coming along? 36. What are NOT the cores of life according to the text? A. faith B. joy C. peace D. love 37. Who are the ones we often neglected when we become self-centered in our jobs and responsibilities? A. Families.B.Friends.C. Our beloved ones.D. A, B and C 38. Which of the following statement are NOT one of the influences brought by Newton’s apple? A. Newton’s apple inspired Newton to come up with the law of gravitation. B. Newton’s apple reminded human to love and be loved, stand firm in love and cherish the goodness of other people in our lives. C. Newton’s apple encouraged human to dreambig. D. Newton’s apple encouraged human to explore the world with imagination. 39 Steve Jobs’ innovations are in the following fields but A. Consumer electronics. B. Computer software. C. Personal computer. D. Telecommunication. 40. According to the author, what put Steve Jobs onto the top of the world? A. His great success in the Apple products. B. He returned to Apple after being kicked out of his own company in 1997. C. His passion towards innovation in his career. D. He changed the world. III. Translation (20 points)(翻译） Direction:Translate the following sentences into Chinese. 41.You needn’t go there anymore. He already knows about it. 你不必去了。

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete sentences. 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 1Doctors have known for a long time that extremely loud noises can cause hearing damage or loss. The noise can be the sound of a jet airplane or machines in factories or loud music or other common sounds found at home or at work. A person only needs to hear the noise for a little more than one second to be affected. An American scientist has found that using aspirin can increase the temporary hearing loss or damage from loud noise. He did an experiment, using a number of male students at a university who all had normal hearing. He gave them different amounts of aspirin for different periods of time, and then he tested their hearing ability. He found that the students who were given four grams of aspirin a day for two days suffered much greater temporary hearing loss than those who did not use aspirin. The hearing loss was about two times as great. The scientist said millions of people in the United Slates use much larger amounts of aspirin than were used in the study. He said these people face a serious danger of suffering hearing toss from loud noise.61. Hearing damage or loss may be caused by ________.A. loud musicB. the sound of a jet airplane or machinesC. common sounds at home or at workD. all of the above62. The passage suggests that one’s hearing ________.A.will be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little more than one secondB.will be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little less than one secondC.will not be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little more than one secondD.will not be damaged even if he hears a loud noise for a little less than one second63.

In making your application, there are a number of points for you to observe.In your letter of application, say just enough to give a good account of yourself without being wordy. If you are answering an advertisement, any information for which it asks mast, of course, he given. This will usually cover your academic record and any further education and training. You may also be asked to give the names of one or two persons to supply references. For this purpose you should choose people who know you well enough to vouch (保证）for your character and ability; and to be polite, you should seek in advance their permission to be named as referees.It will depend on circumstances how much you can carefully add about yourself. Your purpose is to bring to the notice of the employer any good reason why you rather than any of the other applicants should be chosen for the job. Therefore，if you feel you have any special skill or talent for the work, or particular interest in the line of the business, let it be known.Finally, there is your use of language.

Rooms will be cleaned and bedcovers will be changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.Accommodation ZonesHomestays are located in London，mainly Zone 2. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial and not residential. Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by underground.Meal Plans Available◊Continental Breakfast◊Breakfast and DinnerO Breakfast, Packed Lunch and DinnerIt’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional cooked breakfast.Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal, bread and tea or coffee. Cheese, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in England. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.FriendsIf you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host’s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.Self-Catering Accommodation in Private HomesAccommodation on a room-only basis includes the shared kitchen and bathroom facilities and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not benefit those who need to practise English at home quite as much.71.The passage is probably written for _______ .A. hosts willing to receive foreign studentsB.foreigners hoping to build British cultureC.travelers planning to visit families in LondonD.English learners applying for living in British homes72.Which of the following will the host provide?A.

Cola and cold meat.75.Why do some people choose self-catering accommodation?A.To experience a warmer family atmosphere.B.To enrich their knowledge of English.C.To entertain friends as they like.D.To enjoy much more freedom.Passage 4The native Americans, the people we call the “ Indians ”，had been in America for many thousands of years before Columbus arrived in 1492. Columbus thought he had arrived in India, so he called the native people “Indians”.The Indians were kind to the early settlers. They were not afraid of them and they wanted to help them. They showed the settlers the new world around them. They taught them about the local crops like sweet potatoes, com and peanuts. They introduced the Europeans to chocolate and to he turkey; and the Europeans did business with the Indians.But soon the settlers wanted bigger farms and more land for themselves and their families. More and more immigrants were coming from Europe and all these people needed land. So the Europeans started to take the land from the Indians. Naturally, when the whites started taking all the Indian’s land, the Indians started fighting back. But the whites were stronger and cleverer. Slowly they pushed the Indians into those parts of the continent that the whites didn't want—the parts where it was too cold or too dry or too mountainous to live comfortably. By 1875 the Indians were living in special places called “reservations”. But even here the whites took land from them—perhaps the whites wanted the wood, or perhaps the land had important minerals in it, or they even wanted to make national parks there. So even on their reservations the Indians were not safe from the whites.There are many Hollywood films about the fight between the Indians and the whites.
