Reading Comprehension (50 points)Task l (2 points each, 10 points in all)Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements (No.46 through No. 50). For each question or statement there are 4 choices. You should make the correct choice and put the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Who takes care of the elderly in the United States today？The fact is that family members provide over 80% of the care that elderly people need. In most cases the elderly live in their own homes: A very small percentage of America’s elderly live in nursing homes.Samuel Preston, a sociologist at the University of Pennsylvania, studied how the American family is changing. He reported that by the time the average American couple reaches about 40 years of age, their parents are usually still alive. The statistics show the change in lifestyles and responsibilities of aging (老龄化) Americans. The average middle-aged couple can look forward to caring for elderly parents sometime after their own children have grown up. Moreover, because people today live longer after an illness than people did years ago, family members must provide long-term care. These facts also mean that after caregivers provide for their elderly parents, who will eventually die, they will be old and may require care too. When they do, their spouses(配偶) will probably take care of them because they have had fewer children than their parents did.Because Americans are living longer than ever, more social workers have begun to study ways of care-giving to improve the care of the elderly. They have found that all care-givers share a common characteristic: They believe that they are the best people for the job. The social workers have also discovered three basic reasons why the caregivers take on the responsibility of caring for an elderly, dependent relative. Many caregivers believe they had an obligation (职责) to helptheir relatives.Some think that helping others makes them feel more useful. Others hope that by helping someone now, they will deserve care when they become old and dependent.46. Samuel Preston's study shows thatA. lifestyles and responsibilities of the elderly are not changingB. most American couples over 40 have no living parentsC. middle-aged Americans have to take care of their children and parents at the same timeD. elderly people may need care for a long time because they live longer after an illness47. Who will most probably take care of the middle-aged Americans when they need care themselves?A. They themselves.B. Their close friends.C. Their children.D. Their husbands or wives48. All caregivers believe that they canA. care for their elderly parents better than any other peopleB. keeps closer to their old parents by this meansC. does much better if they have a job as social workersD. improve the care of the elderly with the help of the social workers49. Which of the following is NOT a reason why people look after their relatives？A. They feel they are of use to other people.B. They want to set an example to their children.C. They think it is their duty to help their relatives.D. They hope they deserve care when they need it.50. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Most old people live longer today after an illness than people did years ago.B. Many old people are put into nursing homes by their families, who do not visit them regularly.C. Most elderly people are taken care of by their families, who assume the responsibility for different reasons.D. Most elderly people are satisfied with the better ways of care-giving that social workers have come up with.Task 2(2 points each, 10 points in all)Directions: This task is the same as Task l( No.51 through No.55).I once knew a young man, nineteen years of age, who lived with absolute outward（外表的）confidence and self-possession for a number of years before I discovered that he could not read or write. His various methods of trick, which were also skills of self-protection, were so skillful and so desperate（绝望）that neither I nor any of his other adult friends were aware of his entire helplessness in face of written words until we went to dinner one night at a local restaurant-and suddenly discovered that he could not read.Even here, it was not the first time we went out to eat, but something like the second or third, that Peter's desperation shocked me. The first time, he was clever enough to cover the truth. He studied the menu for a moment, then looked up to the waitress and asked her if he could have "just a coke and a hamburger". He told me later that he had done the same thing many times before and that he had learned to act as if he were examining the menu:" Then I ask for a coke and a hamburger...Sometimes they give me a hamburger on a plate with salad and potatoes...Then I ask them for a roll and make my own hamburger. "As we began to go out to eat more frequently, Peter would ask to go to Howard Johnson’s.I soon discovered the reason for his choice: The photographs, attached in cellophane (玻璃纸)containers to each of the standard items on the menu, could help him not to struggle with the shape of words at all. Howard Johnson’s, whether intentionally or not, had provided the perfect escape for the endangered pride of an adult who was illiterate(文盲).51. When he went to a restaurant, Peter would .A. pretend that he could not read or writeB. pretend to be studying the menuC. be desperate for help from other peopleD. protect himself by playing a musical instrument52.

What did the young man usually have at a restaurant?A. Standard items on the menu.B. A hamburger made by himself.C. Foods that other people ordered.D. A coke and a hamburger.54. The word" self-possession" (Para. 1) probably meansA. self-confidenceB. self-consciousnessC. self-disciplineD. self-devotion55. Why did the young man like to go to Howard Johnson's? :A. Howard Johnson's provided a perfect escape when anything dangerous should happenB. The menu at Howard Johnson's gave a clear introduction of the food it served.C. The photographs attached to the main items on the menu helped conceal his illiteracyD. He would feel at ease because eaters at Howard Johnson's were all adult non-readersTask 3(3 points each, 15 points in all)Directions: This task is the same as Task l (No.56 through No. 60).After practicing as a surgeon for several years, Dr. Giroux decided to apply for membership in the American College of Surgeons（美国外科医生学会），a highly selective and distinguished （著名的) professional organization.As part of the application procedure(手续) ,Dr. Ginoux was asked to prepare a list of all the operations performed in the previous seven years. Slowly, as she worked on the long list, she began to feel uncertain. She began to question some of her decisions. Had she used the best technique in that case? Maybe, in this case, she should have given one more test before operating? On the other hand, maybe she should have...Would the doctors on the selection committee understand that, as the only trained surgeon in the area, she usually could not get advice from others and therefore, had to rely completely on her own judgment? For the first time, Dr. Cinoux felt lonely and isolated.The longer Dr. Ginoux worked on the application forms,the more depressed she became. As hope faded, she wondered if a "country doctor" had a realistic chance of being accepted by the American College of Surgeons.56. Dr. Ginoux was working in .A. a large cityB. the American College of SurgeonsC. an area far from any big cityD. a selective organization57. It was most probable that Dr. Ginoux wasA. a member in that organizationB. a well-trained surgeonC. a graduate from American College of SurgeonsD. a distinguished surgeon in America58.

When filling the forms, Dr. Ginoux felt uncertain because .A. she didn't perform enough operationsB. some operations were unsuccessfulC. she didn't get advice from the selection committeeD. she was doubtful about her previous operationsTask 4(3 points each, 15 points in all)Directions:This task is the same as Task l (No. 61 through No. 65).Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experience? Strangely enough, the answer to these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a person's intelligence are fixed at birth, whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people is, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degree of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depend on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, t0 4 university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in their intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all are likely to have similar degree of intelligence.61. If a child is born with low intelligence, he cans _ .A. not reaches his intelligence in his lifeB. goes beyond his intelligence limits in rich surroundingsC. still becomes a genius if he should be given special educationD. become a genius62. "If we take two unrelated people at random from the population" (Para. 2) means if we _ .A.choose two persons with different intelligenceB.choose two persons who are relativeC.take out two persons of close relationshipD.pick any two persons63. The example of the twins going to a university and to a factory separately snows_ .A. the part that birth playsB. the importance of their positionsC. the role of environment on intelligenceD. the importance of their intelligence64. The writer is in favor of the view that man's intelligence is given to him_ .A. neither at birth nor through educationB. both at birth nor through educationC. through educationD. at birth65. The best title of this passage can be_A. Effect of EducationB. Dependence on EnvironmentC. IntelligenceD. SurroundingsⅣ.

The escape occurred after one of the animal’s handlers left the pen gate open. It promoted a swift response from officials. Staff were sent immediately to arrest the runaway tiger.General Manager Calvin White told reporters that staff were preparing for the worst. “ I ordered a tranquilizer（麻醉剂）gun so we would have tranquilized her, but thankfully we didn’t have to”, Mr. White said. The tiger was successfully led back into its cage after the brave escape.The incident occurred during the Toronto Zoo’s 28th annual Christmas Treats Walk, where admission is free in return for donation of food that does not easily go bad.Thousands of people attend each Boxing Day to see the animals fed by their handlers.36.

We left by car in the afternoon. It was a Range Rover with four-wheel drive. It took us three hours to get there. After we arrived at 5:15 p.m., we fixed the tent, then made coffee and had a short rest. After that, we went hunting, using a falcon（猎鹰）. We spent two hours without finding anything. On our way back to the camp, my cousin saw a rabbit.I removed the f alcon’s bead cover and let go of the aggressive falcon. When the rabbit saw the falcon, it ran fast, but my falcon was a professional hunter. He flew up and came down to trick the rabbit. After two minutes, the rabbit was caught. We took back it to the camp to cook our dinner. We ate the delicious food, drank Arabic coffee, and sat around the fire talking until 10:30 p.m.We left the camp the next day at 7 o’clock in the morning. We went north. However, around 10:00 a.m. our car got stuck in the sand! We spent about three hours trying to pull out the car without any progress. Finally, we decided to walk. As it was hard for an old man or a young boy to walk more than 40km in the desert, I decided to get help myself. I took a bottle of water with me and started to walk south alone. I knew the way well, but it was a long way in the sand. I walked more than four hours without stopping. When I felt so tired and thirsty, I stopped to rest. I drank all the water and slept for around two hours.When I got up, it was dark. I continued to walk south. I was worried about my uncle and cousin. Suddenly, I met a Bedouin man who was riding his camel. He took me to his house. When I had had enough rest, I asked him to take me to the road where I found a car. it took me to the city to get help. I had one day to get back to my uncle and cousin. When I got back to them, they were so happy because I had gotten help and they were able to see me again.40.

What can be inferred from the story?A It’s an easy job to walk 40km in the desert.B The author loved to go hunting with his family.C The hunting trip is much longer than expectedD To hunt in the desert one must train a falcon well.Passage ThreeThere’s a professor at the University of Toronto in Canada who has come up with a term to describe the way a lot of North American interact these days. And now a big research study confirms it.Professor Barry W ellman’s term is “networked individualism”. It’s not the easiest concept to grasp. In fact, the words seem to contradict each other. How can we be individualistic and networked at the same time? You need other people for network.Here’s what he means. Unti l the internet and e-mail came along, our social network involvedflesh-and-blood relatives, friends, neighbors, and colleagues. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person in real life.But the latest study confirms that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced a great deal of social activities and person-to-person interaction. Some people worry that the Internet is turning us into isolated people who shut out other people in favor of a false world on computer screensTo the contrary, the study discovered that the Internet connects us with more real people than expected- helpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told the researchers that the Internet plays an important or crucial role in helping them deal with major life decisions.So we network individuals are pretty tricky: we’re keeping more to ourselves, while at the same ti me reaching out to more people, all with just the click of a computer mouse!44. The term “networked individualism” is used to refer to ________.A the way that modern people communicate on the InternetB a social activity popular with North AmericansC the contradiction within network communicationD a newly invented Internet software45. With the wide use of Internet, some people fear that____.A people will become isolatedB interpersonal relation will disappearC people will be controlled by networkD there will be too many social activities46. According to the latest research, electronic interaction through computer is ______.A highly rewardingB a waste of timeC only informativeD an escape from social life47. Why does the writer say network individuals are tricky?A Because they sometimes play tricks on people.B Because they refuse person-to-person communication.C Because they can stay alone while remaining sociable.D Because they feel puzzled when communicating with each other.Passage Four“I love you Bob.”“I love you too, Nancy.” it was 2 a.m., and I was hearing my parents’ voices through the thin wall separating my bedroom from theirs. Their loving words were sweet, touching—and surprising.My parents married on September 14, 1940, after a brief dating. She was nearly 30 and knew it was time to start a family. The handsome well-educated man who came by the office where she worked looked like a good bet. He was attracted by her figure, her blue eyes. The romance didn’t last long.Seeds of difference grew almost immediately. She liked to travel; he hated the thought. He loved golf; she did not. He was a Republican, she a loyal Democrat. They fought at the bridge table, at the dinner table, over money, over the perceived shortcomings of their respective in-laws.There was a hope that they would change once they retired, and the angry winds did calm somewhat, but what remained changed itself into bright, hard bitterness. “I always thought we’d …” my mother would begin, before launching int o a precise listing of my father’s faults. The complaints were recited so often, I can repeat them by heart today. as he listened, my father would say angry threats and curses in a low voice.It wasn’t the happiest marriage, but as their 60th anniversary（纪念日）approached, my sister and I decided to throw a party. Sixty years was a long time, after all; why not try to make the best of things? We’d provide the cakes, the balloons, the toasts, and they’d follow one rule: no fighting.The agreement was honored. We had a wonderful day. When we thought back, we found it was an important celebration, because soon after, things began to change for my parents.48. Bob married Nancy because of ______.A her nice appearanceB her good educationC her romantic natureD her position as an office girl49. When the writer told the story, the mother was probably ___ years old.A 60B 70C 80D 9050. What do we know about the writer’s parents?A Their marriage is a total failure.B They had different hobbies.C They had serious money problem.D They stopped quarrelling after they had children.51. The purpose for the writer to hold the party is____.A to recall the 60 years’ marriage life of her parentsB to stop the long fighting between her parentsC just to celebrate h er parents’ 60th anniversaryD to have a good time for family’s reunionPassage FiveWhat can you do to recall your dreams more often and interpret them more clearly? The experts offer these suggestions:Develop an idea. Before you go to sleep, consciously think about a topic or a person you’d like to dream about. Raise a question that’s troubling you and see how your dream responds to it.Keep track. Next to your bed, place a pen and some paper, or a tape recorder or a laptop(笔记本电脑) , to record your dreams as soon as you wake up.Try to wake up naturally, without the help of an alarm clock or barking dog that can interrupt your dream cycle. If your schedule doesn’t allow you to sleep in during the week, begin your dream journey on a weekend or during a vocation.Wake up slowly. For the first moment after you wake up, lie still and keep your eyes closed, because your dream may be connected to your body position while you slept. Try to recall the dream and then store it in your memory by giving it a name like “Late for an Exam” or “My Dare with Ashley Judd” when you rise, immediately wrote down as many images, feeling and impressions as you can.Connect the dots. To better interpret your dreams, try to make connection between your recalled dreams and recent events. Do you recognize people from the present or past? Can you detect any themes from the dream? Look for partners over several dreams that might help explain an individual dream.Change the outcome. If you have nightmares happening again and again that make it different to sleep, try to change the endings. Once you wake up from a bad dream, imagine a change in the action to create more positive outcome. If you are trapped, try to fly. In your dream, you can do what you want!52. The passage advices you to”wake up slowly” ______.A because dreaming usually happens not long before you wake upB because sleeping posture may be related to your dreamC so as not to connect your dreamsD so as not to have a nightmare53. The underlined word “rise”(Paragraph 6) means”_____”.A come upB stand upC wake upD get up54. According to the passage, how can you overcome a nightmare?A Try to imagine you are a superman.B Try to create a new ending of the nightmare.C Try to think about some happy things.D Try to forget the nightmare.55.
