WritingPart I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.In ancient times the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches. In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor degree. Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same question, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modem industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Generally, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines. One type of test is sometimes called an “ objective” test. It is intended to deal with facts, not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like correct answers to students who have not learned the material properly.1．In the Middle Ages students( ).A．took objective testsB．specialized in one subjectC．were timed by electric clocksD．never wrote exams正确答案：D解析：细节题。

学士学位英语模拟试题模拟试题一Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.What exactly is a lie? Is it anything we say which we know is untrue? Or is it something more than that? For example, suppose a friend wants to borrow some money from you. You say “I wish I could help you but I’m short of money myself.” In fact, you are not short of money but your friend is in the habit of not paying his debt and you don’t want to hurt his feelings by reminding him of this. Is this rally a lie?Professor Jerald Jellison of the University of Southern California has made a scientific study of lying. (76)According to him, women are better liars than men, particularly when telling a “white lie”, such as when a woman at a party tells another woman that she likes her dress when she really thinks it looks awful. However, this is only one side of the story. Other researchers say that men are more likely to tell more serious lies, such as making a promise which they have no intension of fulfilling. This is the kind of lie politicians and businessmen are supposed to be particularly skilled at: the lie from which the liar hopes to profit or gain in some way.Research has also been done into the way people’s behavior changes in a number of small, apparently unimportant ways when they lie. It has been found that if they are sitting down at the time, they tend to move about in their chairs more than usual. To the trained observer they are saying “I wish I were somewhere else now.” They also tend to touch certain parts of the face more often, in particular the nose. One explanation of this may be that lying causes a slight increase in blood pressure. The tip of the nose is very sensitive to such changes and the increased pressures make it itch.Another gesture which gives liars away is what the writer Desmond Morris in his book Manwatching calls “the mouth cover”.(77)He says there are several typical forms of this, such as covering part of the mouth with the fingers, touching the upper-lip or putting a finger of the hand at one side of the mouth. Such a gesture can be understood as an unconscious attempt on the part of the liar to stop himself or herself from lying.Of course, such gestures as rubbing the nose or covering the mouth, or moving about in a chair cannot be taken as proof that the speaker is lying. They simply tend to occur more frequently in this situation. It is not one gesture alone that gives the liar away but a whole number of things, and in particular the context in which the lie is told.1.According to the passage, a “white lie” seems to be a lieA.that other people believeB.that other people don’t believeC.told in order to avoid offending someoneD.told in order to take advantage of someone2.Research suggests that womenA.are better at telling less serious lies than men areB.generally lie far more than men doC.lie at parties more often than men doD.often make promises they intend to break3.Researchers find that when a person tells liesA.his blood pressure increases measurablyB.he looks very seriousC.he tends to make some small changes in his behaviorD.he uses his unconscious mind4.One reason people sometimes rub their noses when they lie is thatA.they wish they were somewhere elseB.the nose is sensitive to physical changes caused by lyingC.they want to cover their mouthsD.they are trying to stop themselves from telling lies5.The tone of this passage tells us that the writerA.hates to lieB.enjoys lyingC.often tells a lieD.tries to analyze lyingPassage 2Question 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.(78) Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught—to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle—compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what his word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.6. According to the passage, which of the following is the best way for children to learnthings?A. Listening to skilled people’s advice.B. Asking older people many questions.C. Making mistakes and having them corrected.D. Doing what other people do.7. The writer think teachers should NOT .A. give children correct answersB. allow children to make mistakesC. point out children’s mistakes to themD. let children mark their own work8. According to the writer, teachers in school should .A. allow children to learn from each otherB. point out children’s mistakes whenever foundC. correct children’s mistakes as soon as possibleD. give children more book knowledge9. According to the passage, learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are .A. different from learning other skillsB. the same as learning other skillsC. more important than other skillsD. not really important skills10. The title of this passage could probably be .A. Let Us Teachers Stop WorkB. Let Us Make Children LearnC. Let Children Correct Their ExercisesD. Let Children Learn By Themselves Passage 3Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:(79) John had bought a packet of cigarettes just before we caught the train and he offered me one as we settled ourselves in our compartment. We were on our way back from a camping holiday；we had lived rough for over a fortnight and even a cigarette wasa luxury at that moment.I felt in my pocket for a box of matches, but could not find any.“I haven’t got any either,” said John.Sitting opposite to us was a man whose face was hidden by a newspaper.“Excuse me, sir,” said John, leaning across. “Could you give me a light, please?”The newspaper was lowered to reveal a rather elderly man with a stern face.“This is a no smoking compartment,” the man said. He indicated the notice near the window. We apologized and put away our unlit cigarettes.(80) The man went on, in a rather more kindly way, to warn us against the dangers of smoking.“I speak as a doctor,” he concluded, and after that he went back to reading his newspaper.When he got out a few stations later, he left his newspaper behind him. We picked it up, eager to find out what had happened while we were on holiday.“Just look at this,” remarked John, pointing to a photograph. “it’s the man who was sitting opposite us.” Underneath the photograph was an account of a lunatic (精神病者) who had recently escaped. It appeared that he liked to pretend to be a doctor.11.The friends had spent their holiday ______.A. on a boatB. in a tentC. on a farmD. with an aunt12.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1“High tech”and “state of the art”are two expressions that describe very modern technology. High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any invention, system of device that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of science and engineering. What is high tech? A computer is high tech. So is a communications satellite. A modern manufacturing(生产) system is surely high tech. High tech became a popular expression in the United States during the early 1980’s. Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers, microwave(微波) ovens, etc.“State of the art”is something that is as modern as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest methods and technology. Something that is “state of the art”is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry. A state of the art television set, for example, uses the most modern electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy.“State of the art”is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years to describe the best and most modern way of doing something. Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1950’s. The reason was the computer revolution. Every computer company claimed that its computers were “state of the art”.Computer technology changed so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow. The expression “state of the art”became as common and popular as computers themselves. Now all kinds of products are said to be “state of the art”.21. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To tell how “high tech”and “state of the art”have developed.B. To give examples of “high tech”.C. To tell what “high tech”and “state of the art”are.D. To describe very modern technology.22. What can we infer from the passage?A. American stores could provide new kinds of products to the people.B. High tech describes a technology that is not traditional.C. “State of the art”is not as popular as “high tech”.D. A modern plough pulled by oxen is “state of the art”.23. All the following examples are high tech EXCEPT ________.A. a microwave ovenB. a home computerC. a hand pumpD. a satellite24. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Since the computer revolution, the expression “state of the art”has become popular.B. “State of the art”means something that is the best one can buy.C. With the rapid development of computer technology, a state of the art computer may easily become out of date.D. All kinds of products are “state of the art”nowadays.25. The best title for the passage is ________.A. Computer TechnologyB. High Tech and State of the ArtC. Most Advanced TechnologyD. Two New ExpressionsPassage 2Cheating: the income tax deadline(最后期限) approaches and some taxpayers’thoughts turn to it. Test time approaches and some students’thoughts turn to it.“You want something you can’t get by behaving within the rules, and you want it badly enough you’ll do it regardless of any guilt or deep regret, and you’re willing to run the risk of being caught.”That’s how Ladd Wheeler, psychology(心理学) professor at the University of Rochester in New York, defines cheating.Many experts believe cheating is on the rise. “We’re suffering a moral breakdown.”Pinkard says, “We’re seeing more of the kind of person who regards the world as aseries of things to be dealt with. Whether to cheat depends on whether it’s the person’s interest.”He does, however, see less cheating among the youngest students.Richard Diensbier, psychology professor at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, believes that society’s attitudes account for much of the increase in cheating.“Twenty years ago, if a person cheated in college, society said: That is extremely serious, you will be dropped for a term if not kicked out permanently,”he says. “Nowadays, at the University of Nebraska, for example, it is the stated policy ofthe College of Arts and Sciences that if a student cheats on an exam, the student must receive an “F”on what he cheated on. That’s nothing. If you’re going to flunk anyway, why not cheat?”“Cheating is most likely in situations where the vital interests are high and the chances of getting caught are low,”says social psychologist, Lynn Kahle ofthe University of Oregon in Eugene.26. The passage centers on ________.A. convincing the reader that cheating is immoralB. discussing the reasons for cheatingC. describing how students cheat on examD. discussing how to control cheating27. Cheating tends to occur when ________.A. one wants something badlyB. one can’t get something in a right wayC. it is not very likely to be revealedD. a series of things has to be dealt with28. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. It is forgivable to cheat unless money is involved.B. There has been a quick increase in cheating.C. Most cheaters are college students.D. Cheaters do not feel guilty and regretful.29. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Cheating is widespread because society is too tolerant.B. Cheating is the result of intense pressure.C. Cheating is cheating, whether on a test or on any other occasions.D. Cheating comes together with civilization.30. The word “flunk”in paragraph 5 could best be replaced by which of the following?A. FearB. FailC. Be pleasedD. SucceedPassage 3The 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(衰落) 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 in 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 of 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. Thelong-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 anymid-morning; or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups. Obviously these children are better fed, better clothed, better educated, healthier, prettier than any generation of children that ever before walked the village street.31. 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 it used to be32. 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 recently33. As is suggested in paragraph 2, villagers in the past ________.A. lived a simpler life than villagers todayB. knew fewer people than villagers todayC. found it difficult to enjoy themselvesD. liked to wash themselves with cold water34. The expression “…there is no point whatever in talking about …”in paragraph 3means that ________.A. there is no end to the talking about…B. it is harmful to talk about…C. it is not meaningless to talk about…D. there is no reason for talking about…35. From the passage we can see that the writer’s attitude toward “village life”is ______.A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. unclearPassage 4We all know that it is possible for ordinary people to make their homes on the equator(赤道), although often they may feel uncomfortably hot there. Millions do it. But as for the North Pole(北极) — we know that it is not only a dangerously cold place, butthat people like you and me would find it quite impossible to live there. At the present time only the scientists and explores can do so, and they use special equipment. Men have been traveling across and around the equator on wheels, on their feet or in ships for thousands of years; but only a few men, with great difficulty and in very recent time, have ever crossed the ice to the North Pole. So it may surprise you to learn that, when traveling by air, it is really safer to fly over the North Pole than over the equator. Of course, this is not true about landings in the polar region (which passenger aeroplanes do not make), but the weather, if we are flying at a height of 5,000 metres above the Pole, is a delight. At 4,000 meters and more above the earth you can always be sure that you will not see a cloud in the sky as far as the eye can reach. In the tropics(热带), on the other hand, you are not certain to keep clear of bad weather even at such heights as 18,000 or 20,000 meters.Aeroplanes can’t climb as high or as quickly in cold air as in warm air. Nor can clouds. In practice, this is an advantage to the aeroplane, which is already at a good height when it reaches the polar region and so does not need to climb, while at the same time cold air keeps the clouds down low.36. “Millions do it.”(Para 1, sentence 2) In this sentence “do it”refers to ________.A. feeling uncomfortably hot on the equatorB. flying over the North PoleC. flying over the equatorD. making homes on the equator37. The polar region is ________.A. a good place to land at by aeroplaneB. a good place to fly overC. a difficult place to fly overD. a good place to live in38. It is a delight to fly at the Pole because there ________.A. planes fly higher than at the equatorB. the eyes can reach about 4,000 metresC. planes are clear of bad weatherD. planes fly more quickly than at the equator39. Aeroplanes can climb quickly ________.A. in warm airB. in cold airC. when it reaches the polar regionD. only when the clouds are down low40. Aeroplanes usually do not need to climb quickly or fly high in the polar regionbecause ________.A. they do not land thereB. there are no clouds at allC. they can cross the ice with special equipmentD. it is very coldPart III Cloze (10 points)Directions: There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blanks there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, you should choose one that best fits into the passage. Then mark the answer by blanking the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a pencil.For reasons of safety and ease of maintenance, Washington and dozens of other communities are building rubber sidewalks made 41 ground-up tires of cars and bikes. The rubber squares are up to three times more expensive than concrete squaresbut 42 longer, because tree roots-and freezing weather won’t crack them.That, 43 , could reduce the number of slip-and-fall complaints made 44 uneven pavements. The shock-absorbing surface also happens to be easier on the joints of slow runners and more forgiving when someone slips or falls. And the rubber sidewalks are considered more environmentally friendly. They 45 a way to recycle some of the estimated 290 million tires 46 out each- year in the United States, and they do not restrict tree roots the way concrete squares 47 . Since 2001, a company, Rubber sidewalks, has been grinding thousands of, old tires into small pieces, 48 sticky substances and baking the material into sidewalk sections that weigh less than eleven pounds a square foot, or a quarter of the weight of concrete. The rubber squares are now 49 in two colors of gray and orange. The District of Columbiahas spent about $40,000 to replace broken concrete with the rubber squares here and there in a residential 50 northeast of the Capital.41. A. of B. on C. by D. for42.

(52) But brief replies do not mean Americans are impolite or unfriendly to some extent. Very often, Americans are in a hurry and may greet you with a single word “Hi”, indeed; this is a greeting you will hear again and again during your stay in the United States. It is used by everyone, regardless of rank, age or occupation. (53)However, those who are accustomed to longer greetings may require a little more time before they feel comfortable with American simple talk.Americans sometimes use plain talk when they are uncomfortable. (54) If people praise them or thank them in an especially polite way, they may become uncomfortable and not know what to say in reply. They don’t want to be impolite or rude. You can be sure that they liked what was said about them. Except for certain holidays, such as Christmas, Americans don’t usually give gifts. (55)Thus, you will find Americans embarrassed as they accept gifts, especially if they have nothing to give in return. They are generally a warm but informal people.Part V Writing (30 points)For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic:Do “Lucky Numbers”Really Bring Good Luck?

If the primary goal of language use is communication, then mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying “ I do it” to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by communicating with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say “I’ll do it “. This difference can serve as a basis for the student to change his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to communicate in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.1．According to the passage, the present tense in English is( ).A．not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate futureB．used with some verbs but NOT with others to express future intentionC．basically the same in English as it is in SpanishD．not the most difficult problem for foreign students正确答案：A解析：细节题。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1“ High tech ” and “ state of the art” are two expressions that describe very moderntechnology. High tech is just a shorter way of saying high technology. And high technology describes any invention, system of device that uses the newest ideas or discoveries of scienceand engineering. What is high tech? A computer is high tech. So is a communications satellite. A modern manufacturing( 生产 ) system is surely high tech. High tech became a popular expressionin the United States during the early 1980 ’ s. Because of improvements in technology, people could buy many new kinds of products in American stores, such as home computers,microwave( 微波 ) ovens, etc.“ State of the art” is something that is as modern as possible. It is a product that is based on the very latest methods and technology. Something that is “ state of the art” is the newest possible design or product of a business or industry. A state of the art television set, for example, uses the most modern electronic design and parts. It is the best that one can buy.“ State of the art” is not a new expression. Engineers have used it for years to describe thebest and most modern way of doing something. Millions of Americans began to use the expression in the late 1950’ s. The reason was the computer revolution. Every computer company claimed that its computers were “ state of the art” .Computer technology changed so fast that a state of the art computer today might be old tomorrow. The expression “ state of the art” became as common and popular as computers themselves. Now all kinds of products are said to be “ state of the art” .21.What is the purpose of the passage?A. To tell how “ high tech” and “ state of the art” have developed.22.What can we infer from the passage?A.American stores could provide new kinds of products to the people.B.High tech describes a technology that is not traditional.C.“ State of the art” is not as popular as “ high tech” .23. All the following examples are high tech EXCEPT ________.A. a microwave ovenB. a home computerC. a hand pumpD. a satellite 24.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Since the computer revolution, the expression“ state of the art” has become popular.B.“ State of the art” means something that is the best one can buy.C.With the rapid development of computer technology, a state of the art computer may easily become out of date.25. The best title for the passage is ________.A. Computer TechnologyB. High Tech and State of the ArtC.Most Advanced Technology D. Two New ExpressionsPassage 2Cheating: the income tax deadline( 最后期限 ) approaches and some taxpayers’ thoughts turn to it. Test time approaches and some students’ thoughts turn to it.“ You want something you can ’t get by behaving within the rules, and you want it badlyenough you’ ll do it regardless of any guilt or deep regret, and you ’ re willing to run the risk of being caught.” That’ s how Ladd Wheeler, psychology( 心理学 ) professor at the University of Rochester in New York, defines cheating.Many experts believe cheating is on the rise. “ We’ re suffering a moral breakdown. ”Pinkard says, “ We’ re seeing more of the kind of person who regards the world as a series of things to be dealt with. Whether to cheat depends on whether it ’s the person’s interest.” He does, however, see less cheating among the youngest students.Richard Diensbier, psychology professor at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln, believes that society ’s attitudes account for much of the increase in cheating.^.“ Twenty years ago, if a person cheated in college, society said: That is extremely serious,you will be dropped for a term if not kicked out permanently, ” he says. “ Nowadays, atthe University of Nebraska, for example, it is the stated policy of the College of Arts and Sciences that if a student cheats on an exam, the student must receive an“ F” on what he cheated on. That’ s nothing. If you ’re going to flunk anyway, why not cheat? ”“ Cheating is most likely in situations where the vital interests are high and the chancesof getting caught are low, ” says social psychologist, Lynn Kahle of26.The passage centers on ________.A.convincing the reader that cheating is immoralB.discussing the reasons for cheatingC.describing how students cheat on examD.discussing how to control cheating27.Cheating tends to occur when ________.A.one wants something badlyB.one can’ t get something in a right wayC.it is not very likely to be revealedD.a series of things has to be dealt with28.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.It is forgivable to cheat unless money is involved.B.There has been a quick increase in cheating.C.Most cheaters are college students.D.Cheaters do not feel guilty and regretful.29.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Cheating is widespread because society is too tolerant.B.Cheating is the result of intense pressure.C.Cheating is cheating, whether on a test or on any other occasions.D.Cheating comes together with civilization.30.The word “ flunk ” in paragraph 5 could best be replaced by which of the following?A. FearB. FailC. Be pleasedD. SucceedPassage 3The 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( 衰落 ) 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 ofpeople alive today who can remember what “village life ”meant in the early years of the present century. It meant knowing and being known by everybody else in the village. It meant findingyour entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it. It meant housewives tied tothe 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 than any generation of children that ever beforewalked the village street.31. 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 it used to be32.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 recently33.As is suggested in paragraph 2, villagers in the past ________.A.lived a simpler life than villagers todayB.knew fewer people than villagers todayC.found it difficult to enjoy themselvesD.liked to wash themselves with cold water34. The expression “ there is no point whatever in talking about ” in paragraph 3 meansthat ________.A. there is no end to the talking aboutB. it is harmful to talk aboutC. it is not meaningless to talk aboutD. there is no reason for talking about35. From the passage we can see that the writer’ s attitude toward “ village life ” is ______.A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. unclearPassage 4We all know that it is possible for ordinary people to make their homes on the equator(赤道), although often they may feel uncomfortably hot there. Millions do it. But as for the North Pole(北极) — we know that it is not only a dangerously cold place, but that people like you and me would find it quite impossible to live there.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You are required to choose the best answer from the four choices. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centerQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage.I heard many parents complaining that their teen-age children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teen-agers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. (86) Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching at one another’s hands for reassurance.They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoons (茧) and entered a larger one.(87) It has become harder and harder for a teen-ager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teen-age market. These days every teen-ager can learn from the advertisements what a teen-ager should have and be. And many of today’s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teen-ager who wants to find his or her own path.But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come with the only kind of popularity that really counts.16. In the passage, the author wants to tell ________A. readers how to be popular with people aroundB. people how to understand and respect each otherC. parents how to control and guide their childrenD. teen-agers how to learn to decide things for themselves17. According to the author, many teen-agers think they are brave enough to act on their own, but, infact, most of them ______.A. are too young to do soB. are much afraid of getting lostC. dare not cope with problems single-handedD. have much difficulty understanding each other18. Which of the following is NOT true?A. There is no popularity that really counts.B. It is not necessarily bad for a teen-ager to disagree with his or her classmates.C. What many parents are doing is in fact hindering their children from finding their own paths.D. Most teen-agers claim that they want to do what they like to, but they are actually doing thesame.19. What does the author think of advertisement?A. Convincing.B. Influential.C. Instructive.D. Authoritative.20. During the teen-age years, one should learn to ________A. find one’s real selfB. get into the right reason and become popularC. differ from others in as many ways as possibleD. rebel against parents and the popularity waveQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage.In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is communication, the mistakes are secondary consideration that may be dealt with gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. (88) The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who has been saying “1 do it” to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by interacting with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say “I’ ll do it”. The resulting discrepancy can serve as a basis for the student to modify his way of using the present tense in English. But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.21. According to the passage, foreign language students should not worry too muchabout making mistakes because ________A. native speakers will ignore their mistakesB. communication is the primary goal of language learningC. native speakers like foreign students who try to learn their languageD. everyone makes mistakes when trying to communicate in a strange language22. The passage indicates that the present tense in English is _________A. basically the same in English as it is in SpanishB. not the most difficult problem for foreign studentsC. not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate futureD. used with some verbs but not with others to express future intention23. The author thinks that language learners can reduce the number of their mistakes by _____A. asking native speakers for explanationsB. reading good books in the foreign languageC. speaking without regard to native speakersD. comparing their speech with that of native speakers24. The passage implies that foreign students who do not interact with native speakers will not _ __.A. have to worry about making mistakesB. learn very much about the foreign cultureC. learn about the history of the foreign languageD. take advantage of available language models25. The author's major conclusion about the function of mistakes in foreign language learning is that .A. mistakes do not interfere with communicationB. learners are often very afraid of making mistakesC. mistakes are not important in the process of learning a languageD. making mistakes can help the learner discover the rules of the languageQuestions 26-30 are based on the following passageDuring a state of deep relaxation, several physiological changes take place in the body: the body’s oxygen consumption is reduced; the heart beat decreases; muscle tension and sweating ease, and there is decreased sympathetic (交感的) nervous system activity. This restful state not only allows the body to repair and restore itself, but it has a calming effect on the consciousness.How to achieve this state of relaxation, however, is a matter of opinion, and in some medical circles, a matter of controversy. A recent report by Dr. David Holmes of the University of Kansas in the journal “American psychologist” said that simple sitting in an armchair has just as many beneficial characteristics for the body as meditation () does. Researchers of other relaxation techniques disagree. These experts believe that more structured techniques, such as meditation, lead to a condition of deep relaxation.(89) The debate goes on. but one thins appears to be clear: the relaxation response can be reached by a number of methods, and the methods themselves are not as important as getting there. One day, one method may work best; on another day, an alternative method may be more appropriate. Once you are aware of all the methods, you can find the one that works best for you.Some of the relaxation techniques are meditation, autoanalysis (自我心理分析) and progressive muscle relaxation response than just sitting quietly in a chair, they have the added benefit of structure and discipline, and for these reasons appear to be more effective for most individuals.26. The passage indicates that a state of deep relaxation is not only good for one’s body, but alsobeneficial to ________A. heart beatB. consciousnessC. muscle tensionD. sympathetic nervous system27. People seem to agree that ________A. sitting in an armchair benefits a person as meditation doesB. what people are struggling for is a state of deep relaxationC. to achieve a state of deep relaxation is possible through various meansD. structured consciousness relaxation techniques are more beneficial for a person28. In the third paragraph, the phrase ?°getting there?± most probably meansA. arriving at one’s destinationB. getting what one wants mostC. reaching a state of deep relaxationD. finding out a suitable relaxation technique29. As far as relaxation is concerned, the author indicates that ?a_____A. aims are more important than meansB. means are more important than aimsC. some relaxation techniques are better than othersD. more and more people are interested in relaxation techniques30. The author’s attitude toward relaxation is best described asA. criticalB. objectiveC. optimisticD. subjectiveQuestions 31-35 are based on the following passage.I am not a computer expert. 1 never learned much in the way of math. And I am quite puzzled by things like engineering or electronics.Then why am I able to write about computers? I can write on this subject because of these shortcomings. The last two years of learning has been a severe test for me. By hard work I have managed to learn enough to use computers fairly well, and to work with people who know a great deal more than I. Since I have learned all this at such personal cost, I would like to share my knowledge with others.The best way to learn is to take a course. However, many people do not have the time for this. They will have to find some other way to get basic information. I hope to be able to help them by writing about some of the things I have learned myself.I have a home computer on which I have learned in my own time. I have used it like a home study course. I have sat down with it day after day, night after night, I have forced it to give up some of its secrets. Now I can use it to do some of the work that I get paid for. And I can do this work in my own home, instead of in an office. Many people may soon be working on a computer at home, just as many now take in other people’s typing.Some things about computers are easier than you may fear. First, computers are logical. Things that at first seem difficult will make sense to you after you learn the rules. Second, it is really not hard to learn enough to use today’s machines. You do not need to be a great brain. But you do have to learn to think in new ways. And you do have to keep a good bit of information in your head. (90) Finally, there are many people around who are really enthusiastic about computers. These people are always happy to be of help.31. According to the passage, computers can best be described as ________A. difficultB. puzzlingC. logicalD. secret32. It can be inferred that the author had to _______ in order to write about computers.A. Learn electronicsB. study very hardC. learn from other peopleD. take a home study course33. The phrase ?°a great brain?± in the last paragraph most probably meansA. a great manB. a person with a big headC. a remarkable successD. an intelligent person34. It is implied that the author ________A. has got a great deal of help from othersB. has known a lot of things about computersC. has got enough knowledge about science and mathD. has known more about computers than her colleagues35. The main idea of the last paragraph is that to learn to use a computerA. must take enough courseB. should be with a clever brainC. is not so difficult as one thinksD. is hard to think in new waysPart Ill V ocabulary and Structure (20 minutes 15%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.How men first learned to invent words is unknown: in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other:and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their combinations—the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience: and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past: and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts, but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and feelings. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary(文字的)style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words.

Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single bar through the center of the letter that indicates your choice.Thousands of remedies have been proposed for hiccups(打呃),each with its enthusiastic backers.Some seem to work,others do not.Research into known cases indicates that if a sufferer firmly believes a particular treatment will succeed,more often than not it does.So doctors have been led to the conclusion that the cure for hiccups is at least partly psychological.One widely held belief is that a sharp fright will end a troublesome bout of hiccups,but many people prefer just waiting for them to go away as this“cure”is often worse than the ailment itself.Between1948and1956Jack O’Leary,an American,reckoned he hiccuped160 million times.He tried60,000remedies,all in vain.Finally,in desperation,he prayed to St.Jude,patron of hopeless causes.His hiccuping stopped.Another victim was Heinz Isecke,a55-year-old British plumber(管子工),who hiccuped for eight months after an operation in November1973.Suggestions poured in to him from all over the world.He tried them all,without success.Doctors,alarmed by his failing strength,operated again.Still the hiccups went on.Eventually,in despair,Heinz drank a“secret”herbal mixture sent by an anonymous donor.By the evening of that day his hiccups had gone.Was it the mixture,or his faith in it,that cured him?As yet,no one can say.11.The synonym of ailment in paragraph2is________.A.illnessB.cancerC.infectionD.condition12.Doctors believe that the cure for hiccups is at least partly psychological because________.A.St.Jude,patron of hopeless causes,did help Jack O’Leary stop his hiccupingB.some psychological treatments did work effectivelyC.evidence shows that a particular treatment in which a sufferer stronglybelieves will often succeedD.“secret”herbal mixtures could produce a miraculous effect on sufferers13.The word“backers”in the first sentence means________.A.“users”B.“advocates”C.“supporters”D.“followers”14.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Though a sharp fright is widely believed to be able to cure hiccups,manypeople shy away from this“cure.”B.Jack O’Leary managed to stop his hiccups after he tried60,000remedies.C.Heinz’s hiccups started in1973after an operation.D.It was a“secret”herbal mixture that finally cured Heinz’s hiccups.15.It can be inferred from the passage that the best cure for hiccups________.A.has already been foundB.is yet to be foundC.will never be foundD.is from a psychologistIt is curious how often sympathy for the old and infirm takes a form which actually humiliates them.Their friends,or mere acquaintances,wishing to show good will,paw them,sometimes leaning forward to rearrange their neckwear,pulling at their shawl,touching their hair or patting their faces─things they would never presume to do,unasked,to one of their contemporaries.An equally humiliating habit of many people who are quite unconscious of being rude is to talk about old people in front of them,as if they were not there,discussing their health,or making playful remarks on the lines of“Well,nurse,has she been a good girl today?”It is now universally accepted that children should be encouraged to do as much as they can for themselves in order to develop their brains and muscles,but so few people today seem to have time to allow the elderly the same means of keeping their minds and muscles active.With what they believe to be unselfish kindness they perform innumerable services for them that they would be much better left to do,even with a struggle,for themselves.Convenient flats,well-run homes,“motherly”visitors,or organized entertainments cannot make up for the fundamental need which must be satisfied─the need to retain to the end of life human dignity and the respect of one’s fellows.16.Many people are not aware that it is rather rude to________.A.talk casually about old people in front of them as if they were not thereB.pat old people in their faceC.rearrange the neckwear for the oldD.pull at old people’s shawls17.According to the passage the old would very much like to________.A.keep themselves to themselvesB.live in comfortable and well-furnished flatsC.keep human dignityD.get unselfish help from their friends and relatives18.The author suggests that________.A.too much sympathy will inevitably humiliate the oldB.kindness and unselfish help are not necessarily what the old needC.the old should be left to do all they can by themselvesD.to the old,the friends’and relatives’respect is,at least,as important as theirconcern19.If the old are left to do as much as they can for themselves,________.A.they may keep human dignity and enjoy the respect of the fellowsB.they won’t feel hurt or humiliatedC.they will be able to develop their brains and musclesD.they will be able to keep their minds and muscles active20.It can safely be concluded from the passage that________is what the old valuemost.A.retention of human dignityB.sincere concernC.genuine generosityD.timely servicePassage ThreeChildren are a relatively modern invention.Until a few hundred years ago they did not exist.In medieval and Renaissance painting you see pint-sized men and women,wearing grown-up clothes and grown-up expressions,performing grown-up tasks.Children did not exist because the family as we know it had not evolved.Children today not only exist;they have taken over,in no place more than in America,and at no time more than now.It is always Kids’Country here.Our civilization is child-centered,child-obsessed.A kid’s body is our physical ideal.In Kids’Country we do not permit middle-age.Thirty is promoted over50,but30 knows that soon his time to be overtaken will come.We are the first society in which parents expect to learn from their children.Such a topsy-turvy(颠倒的)situation has come about at least in part because,unlike the rest of the world,ours is an immigrant society,and for immigrants the only hope is in the kids.In the Old Country,that is,Europe,hope was in the father,and how much wealth he could accumulate and pass along to his children.In the growth pattern of America and its ever-expanding frontier,the young man was ever advised to GO WEST;the father was ever inheriting from his son.Kids’Country may be the inevitable result.Kids’Country is not all bad.America is the greatest country in the world to grow up in because it is Kids’Country.We not only wear kids’clothes and eat kids’food; we dream kids’dreams and make them come true.It was,after all,a boy’s game to go to the moon.If in the old days children did not exist,it seems equally true today that adults,as a class,have begun to disappear,condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever,jogging and doing push-ups against eternity.21.The author uses the example of the Renaissance painting to show that________.A.adults showed less concern for children than we do nowB.adults were smaller and thinner at that time,but they still had lots of work todoC.children looked and acted like adults at that timeD.children were not permitted to appear in family paintings at that time22.In the third paragraph,“the Old Country”is contrasted with America________.A.to show differences in family sizeB.to show differences in attitudes towards family relationsC.to show two kinds of geographyD.to show two different kinds of economic relations between generations23.Going to the moon is an example of________.A.America’s dreams and creativityB.America’s childish and queer behaviorC.why America hasn’t grown upD.why America is considered the greatest country in the world24.According to the passage,which of the following is true?A.It is very difficult for the middle-aged to live in America.B.America is Kids’Country because the majority of the American populationare children.C.Kids’Country was taking shape in America when immigrants poured into thecountry.D.America is more of Kids’Country than any other countries in the world.25.By saying“condemning all of us to remain boys and girls forever,jogging anddoing push-ups against eternity”,the author means that________.A.she thinks people shouldn’t be so concerned about physical fitnessB.she feels too old and tired to do such hard exerciseC.American society is overemphasizing youth and physical appearanceD.what happened to children centuries ago may occur to adults in America soon Passage FourIn the same way that a child must be able to move his arms and legs before he can learn to walk,the child must physiologically be capable of producing and experiencing particular emotions before these emotions can be modified through learning.Psychologists have found that there are two basic processes by which learning takes place.One kind of learning is called“classical conditioning.”This occurs when one event or stimulus is consistently paired with,or followed by,a reward or punishment.It is through classical conditioning that a child learns to associate his mother’s face and voice with happiness and love,for he learns that this person provides food and comfort.Negative emotions are learned in a similar fashion.The second kind of learning is called“operant conditioning.”This occurs when an individual learns to do things that produce rewards in his environment and learns not to do things that produce punishments.For example,if a mother always attends to her baby when he cries and cuddles him until he is quiet,she may teach him that if he cries he will get attention from mother.Thus,the baby will learn to increase his crying in order to have his mother more.Every day,we grow and have new experiences.We constantly learn by reading, watching television,interacting with other people,and so forth.This learning affects out emotions.Why is it that we learn to like some people and dislike others?If a person is nice to us,cares about us,we learn to associate this person with positive feelings,such as joy,happiness,and friendliness.On the other hand,if a person is mean to us,does not care about us,and even deliberately does things to

that.”Such an attempt only aggravates the strain of mental effort.A man may acquire great knowledge of topics unconnected with his daily work,and yet hardly get any benefit or relief.It is no use doing what you like;you have got to like what you do.Broadly speaking,human being may be divided into three classes:those who are toiled to death,those who are worried to death,and those who are bored to death.It is no use offering the manual laborer,tired out with a hard week’s sweat and effort,the chance of playing a game of football or baseball on Saturday afternoon.It is no use inviting the politician or the professional or business man,who has been working or worrying about serious things for six days,to work or worry about trifling things at the weekend.Part V
