Each passage is followed by some questions or incompletestatements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the bestchoice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET. Passage One Online services are managed by a host system that maintains a base of information available to satellites users. Users of so-called dumb terminals (i.e.,those withoutprocessing capability) simply access the information base via programs stored on the system.Personal computer (PC. users typically access the host through a modem (调制解调器). A PCsoftware program serves as an interface (接口) between the server and a PC, allowing the userto operate through the online system and select different databases using a keyboard or amouse. National and regional online systems usually have local telephone numbers that PC modems can call to access either a local information base or an indirectlong-distance connection, thus reducing long-distance telephone fees. Some online systems allow users tocopy large volumes of information onto a local memory storage device, which also reducesthe time the user is connected to the online system. Besides offering a great number of different information bases, ranging from full- text journal libraries to reports of missing children, online services allow users to, for example,reserve airline tickets, buy stocks, purchase goods, and commumcate with other users. Inexchange for the service, users usually pay a monthly membership fee. They may also pay toconnect to various databases on the service or to download information.41. Online services work by providing users with_________. A. a base of information B. dumb terminals C. a host system D. a satellite 42. How can the users of terminals without processing capability acquire the necessary information? A. They can simply use a keyboard or a mouse. B. They should use a modem to maintain the host system. C. They should connect their computer to a satellite system. D. They can access its base through the programs on the system. 43. If you copy the online information onto your PC device, you will .A. save the time of connecting to the online system B. reduce the risk of losing information C. pay just local telephone charges D. get local information only 44. If you want to read full-text journals online, you usually have to .A. seek for a large amount of information B. be connectedto various databases C. be introduced by the local library D. pay a monthly membership fee 45. The passage is mainly about_________. A. the payment for online services B. the functions of online services C. the development of online services D. the relation between online services and the users Passage Two In many countries in the process of industrialization, overcrowded cities present a major problem. Poor conditions in these cities, such as lack of housing, inadequate sanitation (卫生)and lack of employment, bring about an increase in poverty, disease and crime.The over-population of towns is mainly caused by the drift of large numbers of people from the rural areas. These people have become dissatisfied with the traditional life offarming, and have come to the towns hoping for better work and pay. One possible solution to the problem would be to impose registration on town residents.Only officially registered residents would be allowed to live in the towns and the urbanpopulation would thus be limited. In practice, however, registration would be very difficult toenforce (推行); it would cause a great deal of resentment (不满), which would ultimately leadto violence. The only long-term solution is to make life in the rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay there. This could be achieved by providing encouragementfor people to go and work in the villages. Facilities in the rural areas, such as transport, healthand education services should beimproved. Education should include training in improvedmethods of farming and other rural industries, so as to develop a more positive attitudetowards rural life. The improvement of life in the villages is very important, because thetowns themselves cannot be developed without the simultaneous or previous development ofthe rural area. 46. What does the word urban (Line 2, Para. 3) mean? A. Of the city. B. Out of work.C. In a bad condition.D. Of enormous size. 47. Large numbers of farmers have poured into towns because_________. A. they can hardly support their families on farms B. they are unhappy with their life in the country C. the rural areas are too crowded with people D. they hope to have their own business 48.In the author’s view, solving the cities’ problem of overcrowding by strict registrations is . A. practical B. possible C. not realistic D. not sufficient 49. According to the writer, the problem with crowded cities will be solved if .A. traditional methods of farming are well kept B. conditions in rural areas are much improved C. the government can provide more jobs D.violence could be controlled in cities 50. Which factor is most important for people to be attracted to live in the country?A.Their expectations. B. Their interests. C. Their income. D. Their attitude. Passage Three As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease—especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eatinghabits, smoking and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved inthis shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does noteat very nutritious (有营养的) foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, whogoes to work every day but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at homemost nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal bloodcounts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at riskfor any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier. The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merelynot ill and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s specialneeds. Both types have simply been called well. In recent years, however, some healthspecialists have begun to apply the terms well and wellness only to those who areactively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concernedwith nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body’s condition. Mostimportant, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to theirhealth. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be well, in thisnew sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face oftheir physical limitations. Wellness may perhaps best be viewed not as a state thatpeoplecan achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to bebetter able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention onhealthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways inwhich people face the challenges of daily life. 51. Today medical care is placing more stress on _____. A. keeping people in a healthy physical condition B. monitoring patients’ body functions C. removing people’s bad living habits D. ensuring people’s psychological well-being 52. In the first paragraph, people are reminded that ______. A. good health is more than not being ill B. drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmful C. regular health checks are essential to keeping fit D. prevention is more difficult than cure 53. Traditionally, a person is considered well if he _____. A. does not have any unhealthy living habits B. does not have any physical handicaps C. is able to handle his daily routines D. is free from any kind of disease 54. According to the author, the true meaning of wellness is for people_____.A. to best satisfy their body’s special needs B. to strive to maintain the best possible health C. to meet the strictest standards of bodily health D. to keep a proper balance between work and leisure 55. According to what the author advocates, which of the following groups of people would beconsidered healthy? A. People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures. B. People who are not presently experiencing anysymptoms of disease. C. People who try to be as healthy as possible, regardless of their limitations.D. People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical care. Passage Four In a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, forpossible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the onesAmericans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is puton academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschoolteachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of earlychildhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者) listed to givechildren a good start academically as one of their top three reasons for a society to havepreschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top threechoices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schoolsdo not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of youngJapanese children are taught to read at home by their parents. In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent ofJapanese respondents chose providing children with a group experienceas one of their topthree reasons for a society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individuallyoriented (强调个性发展的) Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education. Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanesekindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. Inlarge cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary andsecondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend auniversity-based program, it will increase the children’s ch ances of eventually being admittedto top-rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced freeplay as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.56. We learn from the first paragraph that many Americans believe_____.A. Japanese parents are more involved in preschool education than American parentsB. Japan’s economic success is a result of its scientific achievementsC. Japanese preschool education emphasizes academic instruction D, Japan’s higher education is superior to theirs 57. Most Americans surveyed believe that preschools should also attach importance to_____. A. problem solving B. group experience C. parental guidance D. individually-orienteddevelopment 58. In Japan’s preschool education, the focus is on ____. A. preparing children academically B. developing children’s artistic interestsC. tapping children’s potentialD. shaping children’s character 59. Free play has been introduced in some Japanese kindergartens in order to_____.A. broaden children’s horizon B. cultivate children’s creativity C. lighten children’s study load D. enrich children’s knowledge 60. Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens? A. They can do better in their future studies.B. They can accumulate more group experience there.C. They can be individually oriented when they grow up.D. They can have better chances of getting a first-rate education.

Surfing (浏览) the Internet can be as addictive (上瘾的) as drugs, alcohol or gambling, a researcher from University of Pittsburgh said last month. In a study of almost 400 men and women in Canada, researchers found Internet addiction caused people to spend 40 hours or more a week online. Most of them often got involved in role-playing games or chat room discussion. One 17-year-old boy was so addicted to the Internet activities that his parents had to admit him to a hospital for 10 days´treatment. One woman was described by friends and family as a perfect wife and mother. She became so addicted to the Internet that she would not cook or clean and was neglecting her children and husband, because she was spending as much as 12 hours a day talking to people on the Internet. Finally her husband said, "Choose me or the computer. " She divorced him. Kimberly Young, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Pittsburgh, found that 76 percent of the subjects(调查对象) in the study spend an average of 40 hours a week on the Internet. Of 396 people who met Young´ s criteria(标准) for addicted Internet users, 157 were men, 239 women. The men were younger with an average age of 29, the women average 43 years of age. The largest group of addicted users of the Internet was people who were not working outside home, housewives, students and those who were disabled(残疾) or retired.第41题According to the researcher in the University of Pittsburgh, surfing the Internet can be highly______.A.tiringB.excitingC.harmfulD.wasteful第42题After getting addicted to the Internet, the woman______.A.chose to leave her husbandB.chose to live with her husbandC.was too busy with her houseworkD.was too busy to work第43题From the passage, we learn that the majority of addicted Internet users are______.A.middle-aged menB.middle-aged womenC.young menD.young women第44题According to this research, people who are likely to become addicted Internet users are______.A.those who are busy with their workB.those who want to make friendsC.those who are not employedD.those who are fond of talking第45题The writer´ s attitude towards Internet surfing is______.A.supportiveB.negativeC.neutralD.practical上一题下一题(46~50/共20题)Ⅱ.Reading Comprehension Directions: There are 4 passages in this part, each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.

Most people agree that the direct, assertive(过分自信的) American personality is a virtue, but it sometimes surprises foreigners. In many cultures, respect for older people or those in positions of authority keeps others from expressing their true feelings. But in the U. S. , children often argue with their parents, students may disagree with their teachers, and citizens may express opposition to the actions of the government. If the soup has anything in it or the meat is too tough to eat, the diner can complain to the waiter: if the boss makes a mistake, an employee will politely point it out. Some straight talk about the American character must include the admission that Americans have their faults. The extremely competitive nature of Americans is probably their worst fault. Of course, competition isn´t always bad. As a matter of fact, it promotes excellence by encouraging individuals and businesses to try to do their best. Btittne desire to get ahead of others sometimes causes people to do things that are unkind, arid even dishonest. Also, Americans admire what is practical, fast, efficient, and fresh. Sometimes they fail to understand and appreciate practices that have greater respect for more traditional, leisurely ways of doing things. On the other hand, people from other cultures may dislike the practical, challenging American lifestyle. Despite culture differences, most foreigners give Americans credit for their virtues. Americans are generally viewed as friendly, adaptable, energetic, and land-hearted. Most newcomers to the U. S. like Americans, and the feeling is usually mutual. Perhaps the greatest American virtue is a deep interest in new ideas and new people. In a nation of immigrants, the foreigner does not remain an outsider for long.第46题The first paragraph tells us that Americans______.A.are straightforwardB.show no respect to teachersC.don´t like their governmentD.like arguing with each other第47题One of the faults in the American character is______.A.their dishonestyB.their inefficiencyC.their strong desire for freshnessD.their strong desire to get ahead of others第48题It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A.life in America is relaxingB.Americans don´ t like foreignersC.Americans get along well with immigrantsD.Americans have more faults than virtues第49题The last sentence of the passage implies that foreigners in America______.A.won´ t stay long thereB.won´ t like the countryC.will soon feel at home thereD.will soon find a job there第50题The passage mainly talks about______.A.the American virtuesB.the American characterC.the American faultsD.the American lifestyle上一题下一题(51~55/共20题)Ⅱ.Reading Comprehension Directions: There are 4 passages in this part, each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.

For many people, having your own business sounds like a perfect job. You can do work that you love. You can set your own business schedule and wear jeans to work. You never have to listen to a boss, and you make all the decisions yourself. You can even raise your salary any time you want. But the reality is different. " Having your own business can be lonely," says David Paik. After working for an advertising agency for six years, he started a website design business at home. His first income in the first two months was $ 0. Finally, he got a big project creating a website for a magazine. Then he had a new problem: his schedule. "I was working twelve hours a day, seven days a week, because I didn´ t have employees to help me." Today, Paik Web Design is successful, but David says, " I really wasn´ t prepared to be a business owner. I didn´ t understand the challenges. " Some of the challenges are practical. With no boss, it´s easy to take too much time off and get too little work done. With no co-workers, you might feel bored or lonely. You have to pay for your own benefits like vacations, insurance, and, a retirement plan. And if you make a bad business decision, you could lose all the money you invested. For all of the reasons, more than half of all new businesses fail within one year. Another problem is balancing work with personal life. As a business owner, you can´t just stop at 5 p. m. and forget about your work until tomorrow. " Even when I´m watching TV in the evening, I´m always thinking about myclients and my projects," says David Paik. Still, hundreds of people around the world start business every day, and most enjoy the experience. "There are lots of advantages to having your own business," says Denise Williams, the owner of a women´ s clothing store. " You can decide exactly how to do your work, how much money you want to make, and who will work for you. " Williams borrowed money from family members to get her business started. She began by making and selling T-shirts in her apartment, and she has just opened a new, large store. Laura Castro, owner of a translation service, agrees. " When you are your own boss, there are no limits.I started five years ago, translating Spanish and English. Now I have employees who work with six different languages. And five years from now? I can´ t imagine!" she smiles.第51题According to David Paik, being your own boss is______.A.enjoyableB.perfectC.challengingD.easy第52题One of the advantages of being a business owner is______.A.making your own decisionsB.being free most of timeC.working at homeD.having employees to help第53题In the sentence "Some of the challenges are practical" , "practical" means______.A.difficultB.clearplicatedD.realistic第54题According to the passage, more than 50% of all the new business fail within one year because of______.A.no bossB.no co-workersC.bad decisions makingD.all of above第55题Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.You can get higher salaries if you are your own boss.B.Life can be hard if you run your own business.C.There is no advantages of being a business owner.D.All who run their own business enjoy their experience.上一题下一题(56~60/共20题)Ⅱ.Reading Comprehension Directions: There are 4 passages in this part, each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the correspondingletter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.16. We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it. Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed—no examination is perfect—but to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in school or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the values and the purpose of each teacher. Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them—a form of favoritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates to prove he is suitable for a job, while the lack of a certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well-respected school. This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his school´ s reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favored school. The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer.第56题The word "it" in paragraph 1 refers to______.A.equalityB.the societyC.the schoolD.the examination system第57题Those who support examinations believe that without examinations, ______.A.there will be no equality nor standardsB.the bright child will have no opportunityC.the employers will favor the dull childD.schools for bright children would lose their reputation第58题The word "favoritism" in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that______.A.bright children usually get better jobsB.poor children with certificates are favored in job marketsC.children attending ordinary schools achieve great successD.children from well-respected schools will have good jobs第59题Those who are against the examination system will agree that ______.A.pupils shouldn´t be divided into "the bright" and "the dull"B.special classes are necessary to keep the school standardsC.school reputation is important in the job market。

Each passage is followed by some questions or incompletestatements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the bestchoice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneOnline services are managed by a host system that maintains a base of information available to satellites users. Users of so-called “dumb” terminals (i.e.,those withoutprocessing capability) simply access the information base via programs stored on the system.Personal computer (PC. users typically access the host through a modem (调制解调器). A PCsoftware program serves as an interface (接口) between the server and a PC, allowing the userto operate through the online system and select different databases using a keyboard or amouse.National and regional online systems usually have local telephone numbers that PC modems can call to access either a local information base or an indirect long-distance connection, thus reducing long-distance telephone fees. Some online systems allow users tocopy large volumes of information onto a local memory storage device, which also reducesthe time the user is connected to the online system.Besides offering a great number of different information bases, ranging from full- text journal libraries to reports ofmissing children, online services allow users to, for example, reserve airline tickets, buy stocks, purchase goods, and commumcate with other users. Inexchange for the service, users usually pay a monthly membership fee. They may also pay toconnect to various databases on the service or to download information.41. Online services work by providing users with_________.A. a base of informationB. dumb terminalsC. a host systemD. a satellite42. How can the users of terminals without processing capability acquire the necessary information?A. They can simply use a keyboard or a mouse.B. They should use a modem to maintain the host system.C. They should connect their computer to a satellite system.D. They can access its base through the programs on the system.43. If you copy the online information onto your PC device, you will .A. save the time of connecting to the online systemB. reduce the risk of losing informationC. pay just local telephone chargesD. get local information only44. If you want to read full-text journals online, you usually have to .A. seek for a large amount of informationB. be connected to various databasesC. be introduced by the local libraryD. pay a monthly membership fee45. The passage is mainly about_________.A. the payment for online servicesB. the functions of online servicesC. the development of online servicesD. the relation between online services and the users Passage TwoIn many countries in the process of industrialization, overcrowded cities present a majorproblem. Poor conditions in these cities, such as lack of housing, inadequate sanitation (卫生)and lack of employment, bring about an increase in poverty, disease and crime.The over-population of towns is mainly caused by the drift of large numbers of people from the rural areas. These people have become dissatisfied with the traditional life offarming, and have come to the towns hoping for better work and pay.One possible solution to the problem would be to impose registration on town residents.Only officially registered residents would be allowed to live in the towns and the urbanpopulation would thus be limited. In practice, however, registration would be very difficult toenforce (推行); it would cause a great deal of resentment (不满), which would ultimately leadto violence.The only long-term solution is to make life in the rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay there. This could be achieved by providing encouragementfor people to go and work in the villages. Facilities in the rural areas, such as transport, healthand education services should be improved. Education should include training in improvedmethods of farming and other rural industries, so as to develop a more positive attitudetowards rural life. The improvement of life in the villages is very important, because thetowns themselves cannot be developed without the simultaneous or previous development ofthe rural area.46. What does the word “urban” (Line 2, Para. 3) mean?A. Of the city.B. Out of work.C. In a bad condition.D. Of enormous size.47. Large numbers of farmers have poured into towns because_________.A. they can hardly support their families on farmsB. they are unhappy with their life in the countryC. the rural areas are too crowded with peopleD. they hope to have their own business48.In the author’s view, solving the cities’ problem of overcrowding by strict registrations is .A. practicalB. possibleC. not realisticD. not sufficient49. According to the writer, the problem with crowded cities will be solved if .A. traditional methods of farming are well keptB. conditions in rural areas are much improvedC. the government can provide more jobsD.violence could be controlled in cities50. Which factor is most important for people to be attracted to live in the country?A.Their expectations.B. Their interests.C. Their income.D. Their attitude.Passage ThreeAs we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease—especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved inthis shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does noteat very nutritious (有营养的) foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, whogoes to work every day but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at homemost nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal bloodcounts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at riskfor any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely“not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s specialneeds. Both types have simply been called “well”. In recent years, however, some healthspecialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who areactively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concernedwith nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body’s condition. Mostimportant, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to theirhealth. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well”, in thisnew sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face ofth eir physical limitations. “Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that peoplecan achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to bebetter able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention onhealthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways inwhich people face the challenges of daily life.51. Today medical care is placing more stress on _____.A. keeping people in a healthy physical conditionB. monitoring patients’ body functionsC. removing people’s bad living habitsD. ensuring people’s psychological well-being52. In the first paragraph, people are reminded that ______.A. good health is more than not being illB. drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmfulC. regular health checks are essential to keeping fitD. prevention is more difficult than cure53. Traditionally, a person is considered “well” if he _____.A. does not have any unhealthy living habitsB. does not have any physical handicapsC. is able to handle his daily routinesD. is free from any kind of disease54. According to the author, the true meaning of “wellness” is for people_____.A. to best satisfy their body’s special needsB. to strive to maintain the best possible healthC. to meet the strictest standards of bodily healthD. to keep a proper balance between work and leisure55. According to what the author advocates, which of the following groups of people would beconsidered healthy?A. People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures.B. People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of disease.C. People who try to be as healthy as possible, regardless of their limitations.D. People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical care.Passage FourIn a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americansare turning to Japan, a country of high academicachievement and economic success, forpossible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the onesAmericans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is puton academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschoolteachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of earlychildhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者) listed “to givechildren a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to havepreschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top threechoices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schoolsdo not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent ofJapanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their topthree reasons for a society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individuallyoriented (强调个性发展的) Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importanceof the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education.Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanesekindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. Inlarge cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary andsecondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend auniversity-based program, i t will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted。

2010年河南专升本公共英语作文English: In 2010, the opportunities and challenges for Henan's adult higher education students were significant. On one hand, the increasing demand for skilled workers and professionals in various industries created a strong motivation for adults to pursue further education and advance their careers. This trend indicated a positive development in terms of bridging the gap between education and employment in Henan. On the other hand, the competition for limited spots in universities offering adult higher education programs was fierce, leading to high pressure and stress for applicants. The need to balance work, study, and personal life added another layer of complexity to the already challenging process of obtaining a higher education degree. Despite these difficulties, the determination and perseverance of Henan's adult learners were commendable, as they continuously strived to improve themselves and contribute to the development of both their personal growth and the society as a whole.Translated content: 2010年，河南的成人高等教育学生面临着重大的机遇和挑战。

But at about age 15 orso, the men voluntarily began cutting down their nightly sleep time because ofpressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to view theirnightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines.In general, these “short sleepers” appeared ambitious, active, energetic, cheerful,conformist(不动摇) in their opinions, and very sure about their career choices. Theyoften held several jobs at once, or work full or part-time while going to school. Andmany of them had a strong urge to appear “normal” or “acceptable” to the ir friendsand associates.When asked to recall their dreams, the “short sleepers” did poorly. More thanthis, they seemed to prefer not remembering. In similar fashion, their usual way ofdealing with psychological problems was to deny that the problem existed, and then tokeep busy in the hope that the trouble would go away.The sleep patterns of the “short sleepers” were similar to, but less extreme than,sleep patterns shown by many mental patients categorized as manic(疯人).The “long sleepers” were quite different indeed. Baekeland and Hartmann reportthat these young men had been lengthy sleeps since childhood. They seemed to enjoytheir sleep, protected it, and were quite concerned when they were occasionallydeprived of their desired 9 hours of nightly bed rest. They tended to recall theirdreams much better than did the “short sleepers.”Many of the “long sleepers” were shy, anxious, introverted (内向), inhibited (压抑), passive, mildly depressed, and unsure of themselves (particularly in socialsituations). Several openly states that sleep was an escape from their daily problems.1. According to the report, ______.A. many short sleepers need less sleep by natureB. many short sleepers are obliged to reduce their nightly sleep time because theyare busy with their workC. long sleepers sleep a longer period of time during the dayD. many long sleepers preserve their sleeping habit formed during theirchildhood2. Many “short sleepers” are likely to hold the view that _____.A. sleep is a withdrawal from the realityB. sleep interferes with their sound judgementC. sleep is the least expensive item on their routine programD. sleep is the best way to deal with psychological troubles3. It is stated in the third paragraph that short sleepers _____.A. are ideally vigorous even under the pressures of lifeB. often neglect the consequences of inadequate sleepC. do not know how to relax properlyD. are more unlikely to run into mental problems4. When sometimes they cannot enjoy adequate sleep, the long sleepers might _____.A. appear disturbedB. become energeticC. feel dissatisfiedD. be extremely depressed5. Which of the following is Not included in the passage?A. If one sleeps inadequately, his performance suffers and his memory isweakenedB. The sleep patterns of short sleepers are exactly the same as those shown bymany mental patientsC. Long and short sleepers differ in their attitudes towards sleepD. Short sleepers would be better off with more rest答案：DCBABPassage 2Now let us look at how we read. When we read a printed text, our eyes moveacross a page in short, jerky movement. We recognize words usually when our eyesare still when they fixate. Each time they fixate, we see a group of words. This isknown as the recognition span or the visual span. The length of time of which theeyes stop—the duration of the fixation—varies considerably from person to person. Italso varies within any one person according to his purpose in reading and hisfamiliarity with the text. Furthermore, it can be affected by such factors as lightingand tiredness.Unfortunately, in the past, many reading improvement courses have concentratedtoo much on how our eyes move across the printed page. As a result of thismisleading emphasis on the purely visual aspects of reading, numerous exercises havebeen devised to train the eyes to see more words at one fixation. For instance, in someexercises, words are flashed on to a screen for, say, a tenth or a twentieth of a second.One of the exercises has required studentsto fix their eyes on some central point,taking in the words on either side. Such word patterns are often constructed in theshape of rather steep pyramids so the reader takes in more and more words at eachsuccessive fixation. All these exercises are very clever, but it’s one thing to improve aperson’s ability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read atext efficiently. Reading requires the ability to understand the relationship betweenwords. Consequently, for these reasons, many experts have now begun to question theusefulness of eye training, especially since any approach which trains a person to readisolated words and phrases would seem unlikely to help him in reading a continuoustext.1. The time of the recognition span can be affected by the following facts except________ .A. one’s familiarity with the textB. one’s purpose in readingC. the length of a group of wordsD. lighting and tiredness2. The author may believe that reading ______.A. requires a reader to take in more words at each fixationB. requires a reader to see words more quicklyC. demands a deeply-participating mindD. demands more mind than eyes3. What does the author mean by saying “but it’s onething to improve a person’sability to see words and quite another thing to improve his ability to read a textefficiently.” in the second paragraph?A. The ability to see words is not needed when an efficient reading is conducted.B. The reading exercises mentioned can’t help to improve both the ability to seeand to comprehend words.C. The reading exercises mentioned can’t h elp to improve an efficient reading.D. The reading exercises mentioned has done a great job to improve one’s abilityto see words.4. Which of the following is NOT true?A. The visual span is a word or a group of words we see each time.B. Many experts began to question the efficiency of eye training.C. The emphasis on the purely visual aspects is misleading.D.The eye training will help readers in reading a continuous text.5. The tune of the author in writing this article is ________A. criticalB. neutralC. pessimisticD. optimistic答案：CCCDAPassage 3Upon reaching an appropriate age (usually between 18 and 21 years), childrenare encouraged, but not forced, to “leave the nest” and begin an independent life.After children leave home they often find social relationshipand financial supportoutside the family. Parents do not arrange marriages for their children, nor do childrenusually ask permission of their parents to get married. Romantic love is most often thebasis for marriage in the United States; young adults meet their future spouses (配偶)through other friends, at jobs, and in organizations and religious institutions, Althoughchildrenchoose their own spouses, they still hope their parents will approve of theirchoices.In many families, parents feel that children should make major life decisions bythemselves. A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession butthe child is free to choose another career. Sometimes children do precisely theopposite of what their parents wish in order to assert their independence. A son maydeliberately decide not to go into his father’s business because of a fear that he willlose his autonomy in his father’s workplace. This independence from parents is not anindication that parents and children do not love each other. Strong love betweenparents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American familycoexisting with such love in the American family are cultural values of self–relianceand independence.1. The writer discusses the marriage of young adults in order to show which of thefollowing?A. They enjoy the freedom of choosing their spouses.B. They want to win the permission of their parents.C. They have a strong desire to become independent.D. They want to challenge the authority of their parents.2. Most young adults in the U.S. get married for the sake of ____.A. loveB. financial concernC. their parentsD. family background3. Based on the passage, it can be assumed that ______.A. American young adults are likely to follow the suit of their parentsB. most American people never make major decisions for their childrenC. American young adults possess cultural values of independenceD. once a young person steps into his twenties, he will leave his homepermanently4. A son is unwilling to work in his father’s business mainly because _____.A. he wishes to make full use of what he has learnt in schoolB. he wants to prove his independenceC. he wishes to do the opposite of what his parents approve ofD. he wants to show his love for his parents5. The subject matter of this selection is _____.A. family valuesB. marriage arrangementsC. the pursuit of a careerD. decision making答案：CACBAPassage 4Cancer is feared by everyone. And this fear is reaching epidemic(流行性)proportions. Not the disease itself—there is no such thing as a cancer epidemic.Except for lung cancer, mostly caused by cigarette smoking, the incidence rates areleveling off, and in the case of some kinds of cancer aredecreasing. But the fear ofcancer is catching, and the country stands at risk of an anxiety, the earth itself iscoming to seem like a huge carcinogen(致癌物). The ordinary, more or less scientificstatement that something between 80 and 90 percent of all cancers are due to things inthe environment is taken to mean that none of us will be safe until the wholeenvironment is “cle aned up”. This is not at all the meaning.The 80-percent calculation is based on the unthinkable differences in theincidence of cancer in various societies around the world—for example, the highproportion of liver cancer in Africa and the Far East, stomach cancer in Japan, breastcancer in Western Europe and North America, and the relatively low figures for breastcancer in Japan and parts of Africa and for liver cancer in America. These dataindicate there may be special and specific environmental influences, largely based onpersonal life-style, that determine the incidence of various forms of cancer in differentcommunities—but that is all the data suggest. The overall incidence of cancer,counting up all the cases, is probable roughly the same everywhere.1. Which of the following is closest to meaning to the phrase “leveling off”?A. Became very popular.B. Reached its lowest level in popularity.C. Stopped being popular.D. Stopped increasing its popularity.2. According to the passage, the incidence of cancer is generally believed _____.A. to be based on inactive life styleB. to be due to anxietyC. to result from environmental influencesD. to be caused by heavy smoking3. It can be inferred from the passag e that the writer’s opinion about the relationshipbetween cancer and environment is_____.A. positiveB. negativeC. neutralD. approving4. According to the passage, the writer seems to feel that_____.A. cancer risk is on the riseB. the whole earth resembles a huge carcinogenC. the risk of catching cancer is not so great as most people conceiveD. cancer can be cured sooner or later5. Which of the following would be the best TITLE for thepassage?A. Cancer and EnvironmentB. The Fear Caused by CancersC. Data on Cancer IncidenceD. Cancer and its Investigation答案：DCBCAPassage 5Until the 1980s, the American homeless population comprised mainly oldermales. Today, homelessness strikes much younger part of society. In fact, a 25-citysurvey by the U. S. Conference of Mayors in 1987 found that families with childrenmake up the fastest growing part of the homeless population. Many homeless childrengather in inner cities; this transient(变化无常的) and frequently frightened studentpopulation creates additional problems—both legal and educational—for alreadyoverburdened urban school administrators and teachers.Estimates of the number of homeless Americans range from 350,000 to threemillion. Likewise, estimates of the number of homeless school children vary radically.A U.S. Department of Education report, based on state estimates, states that there are220,000 homeless school-age children, about a third of whom do not attend school ona regular basis. But the National Coalition for the Homeless estimates that there are atleast two times as many homeless children, and that less than half of them attendschool regularly.One part of the homeless population that is particularly difficult to count consistsof the “throw-away” youths who have been cast of their homes. The ElementarySchool Center in New York City estimates that there are 1.5 million of them, many ofwhom are not counted as children because they do not stay in family shelters and tendto live by themselves on the streets.Federal law, the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless AssistanceAct of 1987,includes a section that addresses the educational needs of homeless children. Theeducational provisions of the McKinney Act are based on the belief that all homelesschildren have the right to a free, appropriate education.1. It is implied in the first paragraph that ____.A. the writer himself is homeless, even in his eightiesB. many older homeless residents are going on strike in 25 citiesC. there is a serious shortage of academic facilitiesD. homeless children are denied the opportunity of receiving free education2. The National Coalition for the homeless believes that the number of homelesschildren is _____.A. 350,000B. 1,500,000C. 440,000D. 110,0003. One part of the homeless population is difficult to estimate. The reason might wellbe ____.A. the homeless children are too young to be counted as childrenB. the homeless population is growing rapidlyC. the homeless children usually stay outside schoolD. some homeless children are deserted by their families4. The McKinney Act is mentioned in this passage in order to show that ___.A. the educational problems of homeless children are being recognized专升本B. the estimates on homeless children are hard to determineC. the address of grade-school children should be locatedD. all homeless people are entitled to free education5. The passage mainly deals with ____.A. the legal problems of the homeless childrenB. the educational problems of homeless childrenC. the social status of older malesD. estimates on the homeless population答案：CCDAB。

Each passage is followed by some questions or incompletestatements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneThousands of years ago, in the middle of an ocean, miles from the nearest island, an undersea volcano broke out. The hot liquid got higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in the sea.As time went on, hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces. Sea waves hit against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being.Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little living things there. Only plants could grow ﬁrst. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could ﬁnd no food. A spider made its web uselessly, because there were no insects(昆虫) for its web to catch. Insects couldn’t stay until there were plants for them to eat. So plants had to be the ﬁrst life on this new island.41. The passage centers on _______ .A. how an undersea volcano broke outB. how an island rose up in the seaC. how soil was formed on a new islandD. how life began on a volcanoproduced island42. According to the passage, the island got its ﬁrst soil from _______ .A. sea wavesB. the sand brought by the windC. its own rockD. cool rains43. The word “naked” (in para. 3) could be replaced by which of the following?A. redB. newC. oldD. bare44. The order of coming into being on the island is _______ .A. soil, plants and animalsB. soil, little creatures and plantsC. soil, birds and plantsD. soil, human beings and animals45. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Spiders were the ﬁrst life that could live on the island.B. The island is far away from any piece of land.C. Insects could not live on the island without plantsD. Plants were brought to the island by human beingsPassage TwoErnest Miller Hemingway was born on July 21, 1899 in Oak Park, Illinois. In the nearly sixty two years of his life that followed, he built a literary fame unsurpassed(无法超越) in the twentieth century.As a boy he was taught by his father to hunt and fish along the shores and in the forests around Lake Michigan. The Hemingways had a summer house in northern Michigan, and the family would spend the summer months there trying to stay cool. Hemingway would either fish the different streams that ran into the lake, or would take the small boat out to do some ﬁshing there. He would also go squirrel hunting in the woods, discovering early in life the peace to be found while alone in the forest or going through a stream. It was something he could always go back to throughout his life, and though he often found himself living in major cities like Chicago, Toronto and Paris early in his life, once he became successful he chose somewhat isolatedplaces to live in.When he wasn’t hunting or fishing his mother taught him the good points of music. She was a skilled singer who once had wished a life on stage, but at last settled down with her husband and spent her time by giving voice and music lessons to local children, including her own. Hemingway was never talented for music and suffered through singing practices and music lessons, however, the musical knowledge he got from his mother helped him share in his ﬁrst wife Hadley’s interest in the piano.46. Ernest Hemingway died in _______ .A. 1969B. 1979C. 1981D. 196147. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. His father taught him to ﬁsh and hunt when he was a boy.B. His family had a summer house in northern Michigan.C. He taught himself music when he was a boy.D. He also went squirrel hunting in the woods.48. After he became successful, Ernest Hemingway _______ .A. preferred to stay in big citiesB. chose to live in somewhat isolated placesC. moved his family to ParisD. killed himself49. Being talented in music, Hemingway’s mother once wanted to _______ .A. be a music teacherB. help Hemingway learn musicC. perform on the stage as a singerD. marry a rich husband50. The passage is most probably from _______ .A. a literary biographyB. a science textbookC. a term paperD. a personal diaryPassage ThreeWhat will man be like in the future — in 5000 or even 50000 years from now? We can only make a guess, of course, but we can be sure that he will be different from what he is today. For man is slowly changing all the time.Let us take an obvious example. Man, even ﬁve hundred years ago, was shorter than he is today. Now, on average, men are about three inches taller. Five hundred years is a relatively short period of time, so we may assume that man will continue to grow taller.Again, in the modern world we use our brains a great deal. Even so, we still make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacity. As time goes on, however, we shall have to use our brains more and more, and eventually we shall need larger ones. This is likely to bring about a physical change tool — the head, in particular the forehead, will grow larger.Nowadays our eyes are in constant use. In fact, we use them so much that very often they become weaker and we have to wear glasses. But over very long period of time it is likely that man’s eyes will grow stronger.On the other hand, we tend to make less use of our arms and legs. These, as a result, are likely to grow weaker. At the same time, however, our ﬁngers will grow more sensitive because they are used a great deal in modern life.But what about hair? It will probably disappear from the body altogether in course of time because it does not serve a useful purpose any longer. In the future, then, both sexes are likely to be bald.Perhaps all this gives the impression that future man will not be a very attractive creature to look at. Thismay well be true. All the same, in spite of all these changes, future man will still have a lot in common with us. He will still be a human being, with thoughts and emotions similar to our own.51. The passage tells us about _______ .A. how man’s life will be in the futureB. how future man will look likeC. the fact that man’s organs will function differently in the futureD. the fact that man is growing uglier as time passes52. There is evidence that man is changing, _______ .A. he has been growing taller over the past 500 yearsB. he has got stronger eyes than he ever hadC. his hair is getting thinner and thinnerD. his limbs are getting weaker because he tends to make less use of them53. Man’s forehead will grow larger because _______ .A. he will make use of only about 20% of the brain’s capacityB. the other 80% of his brain will grow in due timeC. he had rather narrow forehead a few hundred years agoD. he will have to use his brain more and more as time goes on54. Future man will probably _______ .A. have smaller eyesB. have larger eyesC. see betterD. have to wear better glasses55. The reason for believing that future man will be different is that he _______ .A. will grow strongerB. never stops changingC. hopes for a changeD. will live a different lifePassage FourAuctions(拍卖) are public sales of goods, made by an ofﬁcially approved auctioneer. He asked the crowd assembled in the auction room to make offers, or bids, for the various items on sale. He encouraged buyers to bid higher ﬁgures, and ﬁnally named the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods. This is called “knocking down” the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer bangs a small hammer on a table at which he stands. This is often set on a raised platform called a rostrum.The ancient Romans probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin auction, meaning “increase”. The Romans usually sold in this way the spoils taken in war, these sales were called “sub hash”, meaning “under the spear”, a spear being stuck in the ground as a signal for a crowd to gather. In England in the eighteenth century, goods were often sold “by the candle”: a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight.Practically all goods whose qualities varied are sold by auction. Among these are coffee, hides, skins, wool, tea, cocoa, furs, spices, fruit, vegetables and wines. Auction sales are also usual for land and property, antique furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art. The auction rooms at Christie’s and Sotheby’s in London and New York are world famous.An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where and when they can be viewed by prospective buyers. If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a “lot”, is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and continue in numerical order he may wait until he registers the fact that certain dealers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in. The auctioneer’s services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for. The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible.56. A “bidder” (in para. 1) is a person _______ .A. who sells something.B. who buys something.C. who offers a price.D. who borrows something.57. Auctioned goods are sold _______ price offered.A. for the highestB. for the ﬁxedC. for the lowestD. for the unexpected58. The end of the bidding is called “knocking down” because _______ .A. the auctioneer knocks the buyer downB. the auctioneer knocks the rostrum downC. the goods are knocked down onto the tableD. the auctioneer bangs the table with a hammer59. The “candle” used in paragraph 2 is _______ .A. because they took place at nightB. as a signal for the crowd to gatherC. to give light to the auctioneerD. to limit the time when offers could be made60. An auction catalogue gives prospective buyers _______ .A. the current market values of the goodsB. details of the goods to be soldC. the order in which goods must be soldD. free admission to the auction salePart Ⅲ Cloze ( 1 x 20 )Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

We’ve heard everything from, “ Sure she’s a good kid, but just wait, n ow that she’s a teenager ...” to the ever inspiring, “Well, all kids are rotten when they are teenagers, just try to go through it the best way you can.” What’s more upsetting is that many of these insensitive adults feel the need to share their negative predictions well within the hearing of both our daughters. I know that teenagers can be moody and difficult at times, but I’m 32 and I can also be difficult and moody. We worry about the future and want today’s kids to know that we care for them and that th ere are opportunities that await them. However, at the very point they set out on that journey toward adulthood we stand there watching them disapprovingly, just waiting for them to make a mistake, “just like we knew they would.” We tell them to respect th emselves and to say no to drugs, yet we fail to set a positive example by treating them with kindness and consideration, demonstrating our respect for them. I have, at times, been guilty of this behavior but am now realizing that the more I see each person as a person, the more I am pleasantly surprised in some way or another. For example, a few weeks ago my husband and I were having dinner at our favorite restaurant and two teenage boys came in and sat down right beside us. I must admit that my first thoug ht was, “Perfect, there goes our quiet, peaceful dinner.” I was so wrong! These young men were well behaved, quiet, and left a nice tip for the waitress. Once I looked beyond the jeans so loose they were practically falling off and the multi-colored hair, I saw what fine people these kids were.Many of the people who, perhaps unknowingly, treat teens with disrespect are unhappyabout the fact that pop singers and sports stars are our children’s heroes. I feel that unless we give them something better to g o after, we really shouldn’t complain.41. When their children reach their teens, parents usually expect ______.A. troubleB. sympathyC. congratulationsD. inspiring comments42. In the author’s opinion, the trouble with parents is that ______.A. they are too watchful of their teenage childrenB. they are too concerned about their children’s futureC. they fail to treat teenagers with sufficient kindness and respectD. they speak ill of their children within their hearing43. When two teenagers came into the restaurant and sat beside the author, her first thought was ______.A. her quiet dinner with her husband would be ruinedB. something interesting was going to happen over dinnerC. they were wrong to have chosen this restaurant for dinnerD. she and her husband were going to have a pleasant surprise44. What does the author think of the two teenage boys?A. They are typical of teenagers who wear ill-fitting clothes and dye their hair.B. They may become nice people if they are willing to change their lifestyle.C. They are fine young men despite their loose jeans and multi-colored hair.D. They will respect you if you respect them.45. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. There is nothing wrong with teenagers admiring pop singers and sport stars.B. Pop singers and sport stars should not be heroes of our children.C. If our children admire pop singers and sports stars, it is the parents who are to blame.D. Parents should set a good example for their children to follow.Passage TwoMore and more, the operations of our businesses, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to modify this information for his own purposes can reap big reward. Even worse, a number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get away without punishment.It’s easy for computer crimes to go undetected if no one checks up on what thecomputer is doing. But even if the crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a glowing recommendation from his former employers.Of course, we have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it’s disturbing to notehow many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematicinspections or other security procedures. The computer criminals who have been caught may have been the victims of uncommonly bad luck.Unlike other lawbreakers, who must leave the country, commit suicide, or go to jail, computer criminals sometimes escape punishment, demanding not only that they not be charged but that they be given good recommendations and perhaps other benefits. All too often, their demands have been met.Why? Because company executives are afraid of the bad publicity that would result ifthe public found out that their computer had been misused. They hesitate at the thought of a criminal boasting in open court of how he juggled (篡改) the most confidential (保密)records right under the noses of the company’s executives, accountants, and security staff.And so another computer criminal departs with just the recommendations he needs tocontinue his crimes elsewhere.46. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. it is still impossible to detect computer crimes todayB. people commit computer crimes at the request of their companyC. computer criminals escape punishment because they can’t be detectedD. computer crimes are the most serious problem in the operation of financial institutions47. It is implied in the third paragraph that ______.A. most computer criminals who are caught blame their bad luckB. the rapid increase of computer crimes is a troublesome problemC. most computer criminals are smart enough to cover up their crimesD. many more computer crimes, which are discovered, go undetected48. Which of the following statements is mentioned in the passage?A. A strict law against computer crimes must be enforced.B. Companies usually hesitate to uncover computer crimes to protect their reputation.C. Companies will guard against computer crimes to protect their reputation.D. Companies need to impose restrictions on confidential information.49. What may happen to computer criminals once they are caught?A. With a bad reputation they can hardly find another job.B. They may walk away and easily find another job.C. They will be denied access to confidential records.D. They must leave the country to go to jail.50. The passage is mainly about ______.A. why computer criminals are often able to escape punishmentB. why computer crimes are difficult to be detected by systematic inspectionsC. how computer criminals mange to get good recommendations from their formeremploy ersD. why computer crimes can’t be eliminatedPassage ThreeAnother cultural aspect of nonverbal communication is one that you might not thinkabout: space. Every person perceives himself to have a sort of invisible shield surroundinghis physical body. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he bumps onto someone, he feels obligated to apologize. But the size of a person’s “comfort zone” depends on his cultural ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. In other words, they like to keep each other “at arm’s length”, people in Latin or Arab cultures, in contrast, stand very close to each other, and touch each other often. If someone from one of those cultures stands too close to an American while in conversation, the American may feel uncomfortable and back away.When Americans are talking, they expect others to respond to what they are saying. ToAmericans, polite conversationalists empathize by displaying expressions of excitement ordi sgust, shock or sadness. People with a “poker face”, whose emotions are hidden by adeadpan expression, are looked upon with suspicion. Americans also indicate theirattentiveness in a conversation by raising their eyebrows, nodding, smiling politely andmaintaining good eye contact. Whereas some cultures view direct eye contact as impolite or threatening, Americans see it as a sign of genuineness and honesty. If a person doesn’t look you in the eye, American might say, you should question his motives—or as sume that he doesn’t like you. Yet with all the concern for eye contact, Americans still considerstaring—especially at strangers—to be rude.51. What the author discussed in the previous section is most probably about______.A. classification of nonverbal communicationB. the reasons why people should think about spaceC. the relationship between communication and spaceD. some other cultural aspects of nonverbal communication52. How far people keep to each other while talking is closely associated with their______.A. cultural originB. habitsC. customD. nationality53. When an Italian talks to an Arabian on informal occasions______.A. he stands about four feet awayB. “comfort zone” does not existC. keeping close enough is preferredD. communication barriers may emerge54. A “poker face” (Line 3, Para. 2) refers to a face which is______.A. attentiveB. emotionalC. suspiciousD. expressionless55. In a conversation between friends, Americans regard it as sincere and truthful to____.A. maintain direct eye contactB. hide emotions with a deadpan expressionC. display excitement or disgust, shock or sadnessD. raise their eyebrows, nod and smile politelyPassage FourAfter the violent earthquake that shook Los Angeles in 1994, earthquake scientists had good news to report; the damage and death toll (死亡人数) could have been much worse.More than 60 people died in this earthquake. By comparison, an earthquake of similar intensity that shook America in 1988 claimed 25, 000 victims. Injuries and deaths were relatively less in Los Angeles because the quake o ccurred at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, when traffic was light on the city’s highways. In addition, changes made to the construction codes in Los Angeles during the last 20 years have strengthened the city’s buildings and highways, making them more resistant to quakes.Despite the good news, civil engineers aren’t resting on their successes. Pinned to their drawing boards are blueprints (蓝图的) for improved quake-resistant buildings. The new designs should offer even greater security to cities where earthquakes often take place. In the past, making structures quake-resistant meant firm yet flexible materials, such as steel and wood, which bend without breaking. Later, people tried to lift a building off its foundation, and insert rubber and steel between the building and its foundation to reduce the impact of ground vibrations. The most recent designs give buildings brains as well as concrete and steel supports, called smart buildings, the structures respond like living organisms to an earthquake’s vibrations. When the ground shakes and the building tips forward, the computer would force the building to shift in the opposite direction. The new smart structures could be very expensive to build.

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. 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 OneThe British policeman has several nicknames, but the most frequently used are “copper” and “bobby”. The first name comes from the verb “cop” meaning “to take”, and the second comes from the first name of Sir Robert Peel, a 19th century politician, who was the founder of the police force. An early nickname for the policeman was “peeler”, but this name had died out.Visitors to England seem, nearly always, to be very impressed by the English police. In fact, it has become a joke that visitors to Britain, when asked for his opinions of the country, will always say, “I think your policemen are wonderful.”Well, the British bobby may not always be wonderful but he is usually a very friendly and helpful person.A music-hall song of some years ago was called “If you want to know the time, ask a policeman.”Nowadays, most people own watches but they still seem to find plenty of other questions to ask the policemen. In London, the policemen spend so much of their time directing visitors about the city that one wonders how they ever find time to do anything else.41. The British policeman has nicknames mentioned in the passage.A. twoB. threeC. severalD. many42. The main idea of the second paragraph is that .A. visitors to Britain are very thankful to the policemen for their helpB. the British policemen tell the visitors the views of their countryC. visitors to England think the British policemen are wonderfulD. the English policemen have become a joke to the visitors第 3 页共 20 页43. “If you want to know the time, ask a policeman.” This means .A. the British policeman knows the time correctlyB. the British policeman likes to tell the time to the visitorsC. most people’s watches don’t go wellD. the policemen are friendly and helpful44. What’s the attitude of the British people towards the policemen?A. They respect them very much.B. They don’t respect them at all.C. They think the policemen are friendly and helpful.D. They don’t like them.45. From the whole passage, we know that .A. the British policemen spend a lot of time directing the visitors to LondonB. the British policemen’s nicknames may not be wonderfulC. the British policemen can’t find any time to do anything else but help the visitors all dayD. the British policemen’s nicknames have died outPassage TwoSome people believe that you have to be a special kind of people to sell a product. But although it is clear that a successful salesman does need special talents and an open personality, many of the skills he uses are used by us all.We build and keep relationships with different kinds of people, we listen to and take note of what they tell us and don’t just enjoy the sound of our own voices, and we explain things to them or discuss ideas with them.In the same way, any company needs to establish a personal relationship with its major clients and potential customers. It is often said that “people do business with people”: a firm doesn’t just deal impersonally(没有人情味地) with another firm. A person in the buying department regularly receives personal visits from people representing the firm’s suppliers（供应商）—or in the case of department stores of chain stores, a team of buyers may travel around visiting their suppliers.Keeping sales people“on the road”is much more expensive than employing them to work in the office. Much of the sales people’s time is spent unproductively traveling. Telephone selling may use this time more productivity, but a face-to-face meeting and discussion is much more effective. Companies involved in the export trade often have a separate export sales force. Its travel and accommodation expenses may be very high. As a result, servicing overseas customers may often be done by phone, telex(电传) or letter, and personal visits may be less often. Many firms appoint an overseas agent or distributor（分销商) whose own sales force takes over the responsibility for selling their products in another country.46. According to the passage, to be a successful salesman, one .A. doesn’t need any talentB. needs to go out every dayC. should listen to his bossD. should be able to work with different kinds of people47. In the third paragraph, “potential customers” refers to people who.A. are likely to buy your products第 4 页共 20 页B. are already important clients of your firmC. are not willing to buy your productsD. are not interested in your products48. The phrase “on the road” in the last paragraph can be best replaced by.A. travelingB. relaxingC. playingD. sightseeing49. The passage indicates that some companies use telephone selling because.A. they have too many sales peopleB. their sales people don’t like travelingC. it saves timeD. it is more polite50. The last paragraph says that an overseas agent of a company is responsible for .A. training local sales peopleB. protecting local customersC. holding regular sales conferencesD. selling its products in the local areaPassage ThreeIn April 1985, the management of the Coca-Cola Company announced its decision to change the flavor of the company’s flagship brand. This decision was made based on the fact that Pepsi consumer research discovered in blind taste tests that a majority of consumers preferred the taste of Pepsi to that of Coke. The “Pepsi Challenge”campaign made this public knowledge and Coke executives quickly moved to change American’s top brand. New Coke came in a new can, with updated red and silver graphics replacing the traditional red and white look. Although taste tests of the New Coke had shown that a majority of those tested preferred the new product, these tests could not gauge (评估) the emotional appeal of the “old” Coke. In other words, consumers want their cake and eat it too. A large public cried one after another during the 79 days when “old” Coke was no longer on the shelves. Coca-Cola quickly reintroduced the “old” Coke when they realized market share was falling and named it Classic Coke. Volume for the classic brand has risen 24 percent since 1984, making it the No.1 soft drink in the land since 1987. Consumers became even more loyal to the brand after it was temporarily taken away from them.51. What do you think is the best title for this passage?A. Consumers’ Loyalty to the Old Coke BrandB. Competition between Coca-Cola and PepsiC. New Coke—A Lesson in Brand LoyaltyD. Always Coca-cola52. Why did Coca-Cola Company decide to change the flavor of the company’s flagship brand?A. Because it’s in their plan.B. Because of consumers’ preference.C. Because of the competition brought by Pepsi Company, the “Pepsi Challenge” campaign.D. Because the management don’t want to keep that brand anymore.53. What is the New Coke like?A. It is a traditional can.第 5 页共 20 页B. It is a new can, with updated red and silver graphics.C. It has a red and white look.D. The New Coke can is blue.54. From this passage we can infer that .A. A Pepsi consumer research shows that a majority of consumers preferred the taste of Pepsito that of Coke.B. In Coke’s test, the majority of those tested preferred the old coke.C. New Coke has more loyal consumers than the old one.D. New Coke sells better than the old coke.55. From when did Coca-cola become America’s No.1 soft drink?A. Since 1984B. Since 1985C. Since 1987D. Since 1989Passage FourThere are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. Information in long-term memory can be remembered at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days or weeks. However, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate, and native-speaking students.To begin with, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning’s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.56. Henning made the experiment in order to study .A. how students remember English vocabulary by short-term memoryB. how students learn English vocabularyC. how to develop students’ability in EnglishD. how long information in short-term memory is kept57. Which of the following statements is TURE according to the passage?A. Information in short-term memory is different from that in long-term memory.B. Long-term memory can be achieved only by training.C. It is easier to test short-term memory than long-term memory.D. Henning gave a separate test on vocabulary to his students.58. From Henning’s result we can see that .第 6 页共 20 页A. beginners have difficulty distinguishing the pronunciation of wordsB. advanced students remember words by their meaningC. it is difficult to remember words that sound alikeD. it is difficult to remember words that have the same meaning59. The word “subject” in the passage means .A. memoryB. the theme of listening materialC. a branch of knowledge studiedD. the student experimented on60. The passage centers on .A. memoryB. two kinds of memoryC. short-term memoryD. an experiment on studentsPart Ⅲ. Cloze(20 points)Directions:There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

What they do is to select young people who have potential (潜能) and who can be trained. They then give the young people the kinds of skills that will make them suitable employees for company. In other words, they adjust their training to their particular needs.One recently employed graduate says that she is receiving a great deal of valuable training from the company. "This means that I will be a loyal employee," she says, "And it also means that the company will want to keep me. I am an important investment for them. So the policy is a good one because it benefits both the employer and the employees."Recently, however, attitudes towards employment are beginning to change. Employees are slowly beginning to accept the idea that lifelong employment is not always in their best interest and that changing firms can have career advantages.1. The purpose of lifelong employment is to __________.A) adjust the needs of the company to its employeesB) make employees loyal to their companyC) select the best skilled young employeesD) keep the skilled staff satisfied2. By training its employees, a company can make them __________.A) do their work more easilyB) more interested in their workC) willing to invest money into the companyD) possess the necessary qualities for the job3. Talking about the training she has received, a recently employed graduate has the view that __________.A) it is still well-received by all the staff members todayB) it is valuable to the employer and the employeesC) it is helpful for attracting young employeesD) it is both useful and interesting4. Attitudes towards lifelong employment are changing because __________.A) job changes have career advantagesB) it's boring to work in only one companyC) only the employer benefits from such employmentD) stable employment seldom offers better opportunities5. The passage is mainly about __________.A) lifelong training of employeesB) policies of lifelong employmentC) attitudes towards lifelong employmentD) employers' interest in lifelong employmentPassage 2People today are still talking about generation gap (代沟). Some parents complain that their children do not show them proper respects, while children complain that their parents do not understand them at all.What has gone wrong? Why has the generation gap appeared?One important cause is that young people want to choose their own life style. In more traditional societies, when children grow up, they are expected to live in the same area as their parents, to marry people that their parents like, and often to continue the family occupation.Parents often expect their children to do better than they do, to find better jobs, to make more money, and to do all the things that they were unable to do. Often, however, the high wishes that parents place on their children are another cause of the generation gap.Finally, the high speed of the social changes deepens the gap. In a traditional culture, people are valued for their wisdom, but in our society today the knowledge of a lifetime may be out of use overnight（隔夜）.1. According to the passage, children today expect their parents to __________.A) give them more independence B) choose a good job for themC) live together with them D) make more money2. Parents often hope that their children will __________.A) make as much money as they do B) be more successful than they areC) choose jobs according to their own will D) avoid doing what their parents can't do3. The generation gap has become wider than before because of __________.A) the increasing dependence of children on parentsB) the influence of traditional culture on childrenC) the rapid changes of the modem societyD) the missing of lifelong occupation4. In today's society, the knowledge of a lifetime __________.A) is still very much valuedB) becomes out of date quicklyC) is essential for continuing family occupationD) helps the young generation to find a better job5. A proper title for this passage would be __________.A) Parents' Viewpoints On Generation GapB) Relationship Between Family MembersC) Generation Gap Between the Young and the OldD) Difference Between Traditional Culture and Modern KnowledgePassage 3Psychology is the study of the mind and mental activities. For example, psychologists are interested in why some things make you sad, but others make you happy. They want to know why some people are shy, but others are quite talkative. They also want to know why people do the things that they do. They test intelligence.Psychologists deal with the mind and behavior of people. Your mind consists of all your feelings, thoughts,and ideas. It is the result of one part of the brain called the cerebrum （大脑）。

Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneOnline services are managed by a host system that maintains a base of information available to satellites users. Users of so-called “dumb” terminals (i.e.,those without processing capability) simply access the information base via programs stored on the system. Personal computer (PC. users typically access the host through a modem (调制解调器). A PC software program serves as an interface (接口) between the server and a PC, allowing the user to operate through the online system and select different databases using a keyboard or a mouse.National and regional online systems usually have local telephone numbers that PC modems can call to access either a local information base or an indirect long-distance connection, thus reducing long-distance telephone fees. Some online systems allow users to copy large volumes of information onto a local memory storage device, which also reduces the time the user is connected to the online system.Besides offering a great number of different information bases, ranging from full-text journal libraries to reports of missing children, online services allow users to, for example, reserve airline tickets, buy stocks, purchase goods, and commumcate with other users. In exchange for the service, users usually pay a monthly membership fee. They may also pay to connect to various databases on the service or to download information.41. Online services work by providing users with_________.A. a base of informationB. dumb terminalsC. a host systemD. a satellite42. How can the users of terminals without processing capability acquire thenecessary information?A. They can simply use a keyboard or a mouse.B. They should use a modem to maintain the host system.C. They should connect their computer to a satellite system.D. They can access its base through the programs on the system.43. If you copy the online information onto your PC device, you will .A. save the time of connecting to the online systemB. reduce the risk of losing informationC. pay just local telephone chargesD. get local information only44. If you want to read full-text journals online, you usually have to .A. seek for a large amount of informationB. be connected to various databasesC. be introduced by the local libraryD. pay a monthly membership fee45. The passage is mainly about_________.A. the payment for online servicesB. the functions of online servicesC. the development of online servicesD. the relation between online services and the usersPassage TwoIn many countries in the process of industrialization, overcrowded cities present a major problem. Poor conditions in these cities, such as lack of housing, inadequate sanitation (卫生) and lack of employment, bring about an increase in poverty, disease and crime.The over-population of towns is mainly caused by the drift of large numbers of people from the rural areas. These people have become dissatisfied with the traditional life of farming, and have come to the towns hoping for better work and pay.One possible solution to the problem would be to impose registration on town residents. Only officially registered residents would be allowed to live in the towns and the urban population would thus be limited. In practice, however, registration would be very difficult to enforce (推行); it would cause a great deal of resentment (不满), which would ultimately lead to violence.The only long-term solution is to make life in the rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay there. This could be achieved by providing encouragement for people to go and work in the villages. Facilities in the rural areas, such as transport, health and education services should be improved. Education should include training in improved methods of farming and other rural industries, so as to develop a more positive attitude towards rural life. The improvement of life in the villages is very important, because the towns themselves cannot be developed without the simultaneous or previous development of the rural area.46. What does the word “urban” (Line 2, Para. 3) mean?A. Of the city.B. Out of work.C. In a bad condition.D. Of enormous size.47. Large numbers of farmers have poured into towns because_________.A. they can hardly support their families on farmsB. they are unhappy with their life in the countryC. the rural areas are too crowded with peopleD. they hope to have their own business48.In the author’s view, solving the cities’ problem of overcrowding by strictregistrations is .A. practicalB. possibleC. not realisticD. not sufficient49. According to the writer, the problem with crowded cities will be solved if .A. traditional methods of farming are well keptB. conditions in rural areas are much improvedC. the government can provide more jobsD.violence could be controlled in cities50. Which factor is most important for people to be attracted to live in the country?A.Their expectations.B. Their interests.C. Their income.D. Their attitude.Passage ThreeAs we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease—especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors,such as poor eating habits, smoking and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious (有营养的) foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs. Both types have simply been called “well”. In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body’s condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷)may be “well”, in this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. “Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.51.Today medical care is placing more stress on _____.A. keeping people in a healthy physical conditionB. monitoring patients’ body functionsC. removing people’s bad living habitsD. ensuring people’s psychological well-being52. In the first paragraph, people are reminded that ______.A. good health is more than not being illB. drinking, even if not to excess, could be harmfulC. regular health checks are essential to keeping fitD. prevention is more difficult than cure53. T raditionally, a person is considered “well” if he _____.A. does not have any unhealthy living habitsB. does not have any physical handicapsC. is able to handle his daily routinesD. is free from any kind of disease54. A ccording to the author, the true meaning of “wellness” is for people_____.A. to best satisfy their body’s special needsB. to strive to maintain the best possible healthC. to meet the strictest standards of bodily healthD. to keep a proper balance between work and leisure55. A ccording to what the author advocates, which of the following groups of people would beconsidered healthy?A. People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures.B. People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of disease.C. People who try to be as healthy as possible, regardless of their limitations.D. People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical care.Passage FourIn a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americansare turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者) listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individually oriented (强调个性发展的) Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education.Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.56. We learn from the first paragraph that many Americans believe_____.A. Japanese parents are more involved in preschool education than American parentsB. Japan’s economic success is a result of its scientific achievementsC. Japanese preschool education emphasizes academic instructionD, Japan’s higher education is superior to theirs57. M ost Americans surveyed believe that preschools should also attach importance to_____.A. problem solvingB. group experienceC. parental guidanceD. individually-oriented development58. In Japan’s preschool education, the focus is on ____.A. preparing children academicallyB.developing children’s artistic interestsC.tapping children’s potentialD.shaping children’s character59. Free play has been introduced in some Japanese kindergartens in order to_____.A. broaden children’s horizonB. cultivate children’s creativityC. lighten children’s study loadD. enrich children’s knowledge60. Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens?A.They can do better in their future studies.B.They can accumulate more group experience there.C.They can be individually oriented when they grow up.D.They can have better chances of getting a first-rate education.Part Ⅲ Word FormationDirections: There are 10 incomplete sentences in this part.
