In fact, even though he was the first American man to ever win the downhill skiing event, many 26 him as a true Olympic hero. He was a rebellious kid who came from a troubled background, and he boasted too much. Moreover, he only became 27 in skiing because a judge sent him to a ski school after he had stolen a car at age 17. There was no lifelong 28 to the sport. He did not 29 the Olympic spirit. He did not gain distinction by continuously training for his event.Still, few failed to 30 his marvelous race in the 1984 Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo. He was just a natural skier and his technique was 31 for the course. And so even before the race began, he was 32 victory. "This course was made for me. Nothing can stop me," he had boasted. He also caused some comments when he talked about the millions of dollars he would be able to make after he won the race. This made many skiers 33 toward him. That just 34 him even more. Then on the day of the event, he turned out the fastest. "It takes a lot of courage to throw yourself down a mountain," Bill Johnson 35 proudly after he won a gold medal for the United States. "Not many can do that."第 2 页 共 5 页命题教师：刘艳茹审核人：Ⅲ Read the following passages and choose the best answer. （2 points each ， 30 points in all ）Passage 1I'm beginning to wonder whether my grandmother isn't right when she complains, as she frequently does, that children nowadays aren't as well-mannered as they used to be. Whenever she gets the opportunity, she describes in detail how she used to be told to respect her elders and betters. She was taught to speak only when she was spoken to, and when she went out on her own, she was reminded to say "please" and "thank you". Children in her day, she continues, were expected to be seen and not heard, but these days you are lucky if you ever hear parents telling their children to mind their p's and q's.If you give her the chance she then takes out of her desk the old photograph album which she keeps there, and which she never tires of displaying. Of course when you look at pictures of her parents you feel sure that, with a father as hard-looking as that, you, too, would have been "seen and not heard". Beside him sits his wife, with their children around her: Granny and her elder brothers. It always occurs to me that perhaps those long, stiff, black clothes were very heavy to a little girl, that she hadn't enough breath left to talk, let alone bad. It must have been a dull and lonely life too, for she stayed mainly at home during her childhood, while her brothers were sent away to school from an early age.That said, my childhood was much freer than Granny's. I went to school with my brother, and I played football with him and his friends. We all spoke a common language and we got up to the same trouble. I would have died if I had had to stay indoors, wear a tight frock (女式礼服), and sew.36. How can we understand "children in her day were expected to be seen and not heard"? A. Children were not supposed to be heard by others.B. Children were not supposed to hear their parents' conversation.C. Children were not supposed to speak in the face of others.D. Children were not supposed to speak until asked to do it.37. What is the expression of "mind their p's and q's" supposed to mean?A. To mind their own business. B. To remember to say "please". C. To remember to say "thank you". D. To be well-mannered.38. Which of the following words can be used to describe Granny's feelings of her own childhood?A. Lonely. B. Dull. C. Proud. D. Happy.39. How did the author feel about her Granny's childhood?A. Disappointed.B. Unbearable.C. Respectable.D. Indifferent.40. Why did Granny often complain about modern children's behavior?A. She missed those good old days. B. She was too harsh on children. C. She didn't like kids who talk a lot. D. She was not open to new things.Passage 2Time spent in a bookshop can be most pleasant, whether you are a book-lover or merely there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. You soon focus on some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent too much time there and must hurry off to keep some forgotten appointment.This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is the main attraction of a bookshop. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can range round such places to your heart's content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the greeting, "Can I help you?" You needn't buy anything you don't want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished reading. Then, and only then, are his services necessary.Once a medical student had to read a textbook which was far too expensive for him to buy. He couldn't obtain it from the library and the only copy he could find was in a bookshop. Every afternoon, therefore, he would go to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. One day, however, he was disappointed to find the book missing from its usual place. He was about to leave, when he noticed the owner of the shop making a gesture to him with his hand. Expecting to be scolded, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book which was put away in a corner. "I put it there in case anyone had a desire to buy it!" he said, and left the delighted student to continue his reading. 41. Time spent in a bookshop can be most pleasant _______________.A. only when you can find the book you want to buy B. only when you are a book-loverC. even when you enter it to avoid a sudden showerD. even when you know you are late for an appointment42. A bookshop is of much attraction because ______________ .A. it offers you an opportunity to forget about everyday life第 3 页 共 5 页 命题教师：刘艳茹 审核人：B. it offers you an opportunity to listen to as much music as possibleC. it allows you to learn about new ideas and ways of doing thingsD. it allows you to have a good excuse for being late for an appointment 43. In a good bookshop __________.A. an assistant should always follow youB. an assistant should frequently approach you and offer helpC. you needn't buy anything you don't wantD. you can communicate freely with an assistant44. The medical student went to a bookshop every day _____________.A. to look for useful books B. to read a textbookC. to talk with the shop ownerD. to use the computer at the shop45. The owner of the bookshop put away the book ______________.A. in case other people wanted to buy itB. in case the medical student wanted to buy itC. because he wanted to sell it at a high priceD. because he wanted to keep it for himself Passage 3Open or distance learning has had a major effect on higher education through the Open University, the only university to provide education exclusively for adult learners studying at a distance. Our 100,000 students are currently studying at the Open University. We found limited development of distance learning in the case studies, with the exception of some postgraduate and professional courses. Even here, however, there seemed to be limits on further growth because of the high costs involved in setting up new distance learning courses, as well as uncertainties of demand (particularly in terms of the perceived financial returns on study). One of the case study universities provided video facilities and visiting staff to a rural area for a group of undergraduate students about 50 miles away. This was a new development which was working well and likely to be expanded to involve other universities.The main reason for general lack of development of distance learning, especially at the undergraduate level, may be that other universities have been unable to afford the considerable set-up costs and student support facilities. As costs of technology come down this might change. The Open Learning Foundation is developing connections between universities to set open learning approaches within existing programs of study and thus encourage their greater use. This is seen as likely to develop further in the future.46. The Open University provides an education for _________________.A. students who do not like attending regular universitiesB. students who failed the College Entrance ExaminationC. students who are adults and away from a universityD. students who are limited in their ability to learn47. Among other things, the further growth of distance learning at postgraduate and professional levels is limited by ____________________.A. the high costs involved B. a low student demand C. a lack of educationD. the poor rural technology48. The attempt of one case study university to provide equipment and staff to a rural group of students _________. A. would be expanded B. did not work well C. might help learning D. could cost a lot49. The cost of setting up a distance learning program might change ______________.A. as new developments are made B. as more students take classes there C. as the Open University helps more D. as technology becomes cheaper50. The tone of this passage can best be described as ________________. A. discouraging B. encouraging C. persuasive D. scientificIV Translate the following sentences into Chinese.（10 points in all ）“We are slaves to nothing but the clock, ”it has been said. Time is treated as if it were something almost real. We budget it, save it, waste it, steal it, kill it, cut it, account for it; we also charge for it. It is a precious resource. Many people have a rather acute sense of the shortness of each lifetime. Once the sands have run out of a person’s hourglass, they cannot be replaced.ⅤWriting （15 points in all ）Direction: For this part, you are asked to write a short essay on the topic: Shopping on the Internet .

Reading Comprehension (30 points)Section ADirections: Read the following passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.Text 1Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history, greater than only a few other men have achieved. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on ---- but even ordinary men understand now that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.By 1914 the young Einstein had gained world fame. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study, but soon his peace and quiet were broken by the First World War.Einstein hated violence. The misery( 悲惨)of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.In the years following World War I honors were increasingly heaped on him. He became the head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize, and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.26. The main idea of the first paragraph is _____A. the time when people know EinsteinB. the feeling of an American college presidentC. the change in human thought produced by EinsteinD. the difficulty of Einstein’s thought to teachers27. According to the American university president, ______.A. everyone understands Einstein’s theory todayB. Einstein achieved more than any other scientists in historyC. The theory of relativity can be quickly learned by everyoneD. Our ideas about the universe are different today because of Einstein28. According to paragraph 2, Albert Einstein ______A. was a famous chemistB. headed a research instituteC. was famous in the worldD. enjoyed reading about war29. According to the passage Einstein did his greatest work _____.A. during World War IB. when he was youngC. when Nazism roseD. between 1906-191530. It may be concluded that ____.A. Albert Einstein was forced to serve in the German armyB. Albert Einstein had no other interests besides scienceC. Einstein made a lot more breakthroughs in his research after the First World War.D. His reputation was ruined because of his work during World War IText 2A few minutes ago, walking back from lunch, I started to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping. It wasn’t mu ch but, as I turned, my eyes caught the heads of several other people turning too. A woman had dropped what appeared to be a dime.The tinkling sound of a coin dropping on pavement is an attention-getter. It can be nothing more than a penny. Whatever the coin is, no one ignores the sound of it. It got me thinking about sounds again.We are surrounded by so many sounds that attract the most attention. People in New York City seldom turn to look when a fire engine, a police car or an ambulance (救护车) comes screaming along the street.When I’m in New York, I’m a New Yorker. I don’t turn either. Like the natives. I hardly hear a siren there.At home in my little town in Connecticut, it’s different. The distant wail of a police car, an emergency vehicle or a f ire siren brings me to my feet if I’m seated and brings me to the window if I’m in bed.It’s the quietest sounds that have most effect on us, not the loudest. In the middle of the night, I can hear a dripping tap a hundred yards away through three closed doors. I’ve beenhearing little creaking noises and sounds which my imagination turns into footsteps in the middle of the night for twenty-five years in our house. How come I never hear those sounds in the daytime?I’m quite clear in my mind what the good sounds are and what the bad sounds are.I’ve turned against whistling, for instance. I used to think of it as the mark of a happy worker but lately I’ve been associating the whistler with a nervous person making compulsive noises.The tapping, tapping, tapping of my typewriter as the keys hit the paper is a lovely sound to me. I often like the sound of what I write better than the looks of it.31. The sound of a coin dropping makes people ________.A. think of money C. pay attention to itB. look at each other D. stop crossing the street32. People in New York _________.A. don’t care about emergencies C. are attracted by soundsB. are used to sirens D. don’t hear loud noi ses33. How does the author relate to sounds at night?A. He imagines sounds that do not exist.B. He exaggerates quiet sounds.C. He thinks taps should be turned off.D. He believes it’s rather quiet at night.34. He dislikes whistling because _________.A. he is tired of it C. it reminds him of tense peopleB. he used to be happier D. it suggests busy daily work35. How does the writer feel about sounds in general?A. They make him feel at home.B. He thinks they should be ignored.C. He believes they are part of our lives.D. He prefers silence to loud noises.Text 3Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change y our energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract (对抗) your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam (鼓起干劲) and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start that saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.36. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably________.A)he is a lazy personB)he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC)he is not sure when his energy is lowD)he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening37. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A)Unawareness of energy cycles.B)Familiar monologues.C) A change in a family member’s energy cycle.D)Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.38. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should________.A)change his energy cycle C) get up earlier than usualB)overcome his laziness D) go to bed earlier39. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will___________.A)help to keep your energy for the day’s workB)help you to control your temper early in the dayC)enable you to concentrate on your routine workD)keep your energy cycle under control all day40. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A)Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.B)Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.C) Habits help a person adapt to his own energy cycle.D) Children have energy cycles, too.Section B. Skimming and scanningDirections:In this part, you are required to go over the 3 passages quickly and answer the questions.Passage 1. (Question 41 is based on the following passage.)41. This letter is written by a______.A. prospective salespersonB. high school studentC. publisherD. manager28 Beach Road, Newtown.March 20th, 2000The Manager, Royal Publishers, P.O.Box 446 Newtown. Dear Sir,I am 18 years old, and I graduated from Newtown High School last October. At high school my main subjects were English, business studies, history, athletics and science.I would be very interested in working as a salesman. I am very interested in books, and I have always been interested in the publishing business. I enjoy meeting and talking to people.I enclose two letters of reference, a photograph, and my school academic record. I would be available for an interview at any time. I look forward to hearing from you.Yours sincerely,Jack EastwoodPassage2 (Question 42 is based on the following passage.)42. The general idea of the passage is that______.A. doctors can produce magicB. medicine has magic powerC. modern medicine can cure all illnessesD. a healthy mind is also a cure for illnessFor more than five thousand years Chinese doctors have used needles to fight illness. This kind of medicine is called acupuncture. The doctor studies the sick person carefully. Then he puts needles into that person s body at the right places for his illness. Chinese doctors believe that they can control the body s natural forces in this way. At first, doctors in the West thought that this was just another kind of magic. Recently, however, they have found out that it is possible to cure many illnesses like this because the needles help the body to produce its own "medicines". In this way the body cures itself.Nowadays doctors can do a lot of wonderful things. They can use thousands of medicines. They can give you pills and injections. They can even give you mechanical legs or a new heart. Sometimes modern medicine works like magic. But there are still a lot of illnesses that drugs and machines cannot cure completely. Medicine is not only a science; it is an art, too. And in the art of medicine, the mind is very important. You will not have a healthy body unless you have a healthy mind.Passage 3 (Questions 43-45 are based on the following passage.)43.

长治学院2014 —— 2015学年第二学期期末考试补考卷考试科目: 大学英语2（A、B 级）考试对象：2014级A、B级班I. Reading Comprehension（40 Points）Section ONE: Fast ReadingDirections: In this part, you are to go over the passage quickly and choose the best answer from the four possible choices.Shopping in AmericaGoing shopping seems easy, but actually it takes a lot of learning, especially in America. In fact, many Americans who are not so well-off often shop at “sales” or at special stores that sell things at low prices, which you may find interesting. In America, the important rule of dressing is that one should change his or her clothes every day. For example, in an American college, neither professor nor students are seen in the same clothes two days in a row.So you may find it necessary to buy more clothes than you have in China. While you are shopping in the United States, you will discover that prices range considerably form time to time. The purchase of used, second-hand clothing, furniture, or other household articles may be an excellent way of saving money. Most second-hand clothes are of pretty good quality. If you are going to settle down in the United States and want some furniture, you may go to a “loan closet”, where furniture is rented at low cost, or you may also go to a “furniture exchange” place in the community.Sheets, blankets, and other bedclothes go on sale in most communities twice a year. Advertisements for “white sales”, that is, sales on bed linen, towels, etc., often appear in January, as well as in May, June or July. Once or twice every season, there will be “garage sales”, where you can get almost anything, from a yacht to a pair of shoes, at low prices. Prices at “discount stores” and “thrift shops” are also as low as you can imagine.When shopping for food, you should look for special prices for various items that are put on sale weekly. To economize, it would be a good idea for you to plan the weekly menu according to what is on sale, including in it the meats, vegetable, fruits, etc. that can be bought at special prices that week.Exchange and return policies vary from store to store. You should also keep in mind that exchange and return policies for sales items can be different from standard store policies, especially for the prices before making your purchase. Obtaining an exchange or a return without a store receipt is often difficult. So, to save yourself the headache, you’d better hold onto any paper or other proof of purchase.1. Shopping in the United States ____.A. seems easy for AmericansB. requires some learningC. is very easy for foreignersD. is only for “well-off” people2. Americans change their clothes daily, because _____.A. clothes are sold at low pricesB. people take it as a ruleC. they enjoy doing soD. everyone is very “well-off”3. People shopping in America will discover _______.A. American goods are excellentB. most clothes come from ChinaC. prices vary much sometimesD. used clothes are of poor quality4. A person who needs furniture can ______A. exchange their goods for furnitureB. settle in a place that has furnitureC. get some free of chargeD. rent some at low cost5. At a “white sale”, one can buy ______.A. almost anythingB. sheet, cooking utensilsC. bed linen, towels, etc.D. shoes at low prices Section TWO:Directions: Read the following passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions.Passage one: When next year’s crop of high-school graduates arrive at Oxford University in the fall of 2009, they’ll be joined by a new face: Andrew Hamilton, the 55-year-old provost of Yale, who’ll become Oxford’s vice-chancellor—a position equivalent to university president in America.Hamilton isn’t the only educator crossing the Atlantic. Schools in France, Egypt, Singapore, etc, have also recently made top-level hires from abroad. Higher education has become a big and competitive business nowadays, and like so many business, it’s gone global. Yet the talent flow isn’t universal. High-level personnel tend to head in only one direction: outward from America.The chief reason is that American schools don’t tend to seriously consider looking abroad. For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of the university’s budget. “We didn’t do any global consideration,” says Patricia Hays, the board’s chair. The board ultimately picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist who is likely to do well in the main task of modern university presidents: fund-raising. Fund-raising is a distinctively American thing, since U.S. schools rely heavily on donations. The fund-raising ability is largely a product of experience and necessity.Many European universities, meanwhile, are still mostly dependent on government funding. But government support has failed to keep pace with rising student number. The decline in government support has make funding –raising an increasing necessarily ability among administrators and has hiring committees hungry for Americans.In the past few years, prominent schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2003, when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen “a major strengthening of Yale’s financial position.”Of course, fund-raising isn’t the only skill outsiders offer. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind of promote international programs and attract a global student body. Foreigners can offer a fresh perspective on established practices.6. What is the current trend in higher education discussed in the passage ?A. Institutions worldwide are hiring administrators from the U.S.B. A lot of political activists are being recruited as administrators.C. American universities are enrolling more international students.D. University presidents are paying more attention to fund-raising.7. What is the chief consideration of American universities when hiring top-level administrators?A. The political correctness.B. Their fame in academic circle.C. Their ability to raise funds.D. Their administrative experience.8. What do we learn about European universities from the passage?A. The tuitions they charge have been rising considerably.B. Their operation is under strict government supervision.C. They are strengthening their position by globalization.D. Most of their revenues come from the government.9. Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard as its vice-chancellor chiefly because_____?A. she could help strengthen its ties with Yale.B. she was known to be good at raising money.C. she knew how to attract students overseas.D. she had boosted Yale’s academic status.10. In what way do top-level administrators form abroad contribute to university development?A. They can enhance the university’s image.B. They will bring more international faculty.C. They can build new academic disciplines.D. They will view many things from new perspectivesPassage two:Last Tuesday I was invited to participate in a party for Tuesday’s Children, an organization that helps children with the AIDS virus. I was asked to attend because I’m on a television show. I don’t think that most of the kids recognized me as a famous person, but as a big kid who came to play with them for the day. I think I liked it better that way.At the party, they had all kinds of activities. I was drawn to one in particular because all the children were taking part in it. In that activity, anyone who wanted to participate could paint a square. Later all the painted squares were going to be sewn together to make a wall hanging. The wall hanging would be presented to a man who had devoted much of his life to this organization and would soon be retiring.They gave everyone some paints in bright, beautiful colors, and asked the kids to paint something that would make the wall hanging beautiful. As I looked around at all the squares, I saw pink hearts and bright blue clouds, beautiful orange sunrise, and green and purple flowers. The pictures were all bright, positive, and uplifting. All except for one.The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart, but it was dark, empty, and lifeless. It lacked the bright, lively colors that his fellow artists had used.At first I thought maybe he took the only paint that was left and it just happened to be dark. But when I asked him about it, he said his heart was that color because his heart felt dark and he was very sick. He said that his sickness was not ever going to get better. He looked straight into my eyes and said, “There is nothing anyone can do that will help.”I told him I was sorry that he was sick and I could certainly understand why he was so sad. I could even understand why he had made his heart a dark color. But I also told him that it isn’t true that there is nothing anyone can do to help. Other people may not be able to make him better, but we can do things like sharing our time and our love, which in my experience can really help when people are feeling sad. I told him that if he liked, I would be happy to spend some time talking with him so that he could see what I meant. But instead of talking with me, he did something different. He instantly came near to me and wrapped his arms around my neck. When he did this, I felt my own heart had burst with the love for this sweet little boy.He sat there talking with me for a long time and when he had had enough, he jumped down to finish his coloring. I asked him if he felt any better and he said that he did, but he was still sick and nothing would change that. I told him I understood. I walked away feeling sad, but I determined that I would do whatever I could to help.As the day was coming to and end and I was getting ready to head home, I felt a slight pull on my jacket. I turned around and found the little boy was standing there with a smile on his face. He said, “My heart is changing colors. It is getting brighter. I think love really does work.”On my way home I felt my own heart and realized it, too, had changed to a brighter color.11. From the first paragraph we know Tuesday’s Children is _________A .a TV show for small kids B. a party for small kidsC .a group for helping kids with AIDS D. an organization the author proposed12. What was the purpose of making the wall hanging? ______.A. It would be given to a man as a gift.B. People will buy it so that more money can be raised for the kids.C. It was a special gift for the kids with AIDS.D. The author wanted it at the day of his retirement.13. Most of the children painted _____ on the squares.A. white clouds and red sunrisesB. orange hearts and red flowersC. purple hearts and pink flowersD. blue clouds and green flowers14. The heart painted by a little boy was very unusual because _____.A. it was bright and livelyB. it was dark and lifelessC. it was of lively colorsD. it was sad to look at15. Why did the boy choose the color? _____.A. Because he thought it looked better.B. Because he happened to like the color.C. Because he felt sick and hopeless.D. Because he had no other colors to use. Passage three: Roger Sperry and Robert Ornstein of the California Institute of Technology won a Nobel Prize in 1972. They discovered that the human brain has two sides, and each side has different work to do. The left side of the brain controls language and number; it analyses and reasons. The right side controls our imagination; it controls our understanding of music and our sense of rhythm. It is the right side of our brain which daydreams.Great artists and great scientists are similar: they both use the two sides of their brain. It is well-known that Albert Einstein, a great scientist, spent time enjoying art, playing the violin and sailing. Einstein said his scientific discoveries grew from his imagination rather than from analysis, reason and language. He said that written and spoken words were not important in his thinking. He got ideas by using his imagination. Following this, he used the left side of brain to use analysis, number and reason and then he used language to explain it.Usual education in schools encourages us to use the left side of our brains. Language, number, analysis and reason are given more importance in our schools than imagination and daydreaming. However, we are encouraged to hop when we have two perfectly good legs! Then why don’t we give more value to visual thinking?In fact, all of us need both sides of our brain. We need to use our imagination to think of solutions to problems and to enjoy feeling and creative experiences. And we need to be logical and to be able to analyze and organize in order to live on this world.It is true that some people find it easier to use one side of the brain rather than the other, but all of us can use both sides and all of us benefit by using all the powers we have.16. According to the passage, a great composer composes music by using ________ of his brain.A .the right side B. the left side C .both sides D. neither side17. Albert Einstein’s example is used to support the idea that ______.A. all scientific discoveries are based on imagination.B. people should do nothing but daydream.C. using two sides of the brain is important.D. scientists are good at imagining what may happen.18. It is implied in the passage that regular education________.A. should be praised because it suggests using both sides of the brain.B. finds it very important to have daydreams.C. claims that analysis and reason are of no value.D. fails to develop the right side of the brain.19. Is it true that some people find it easier to use one side of the brain rather than the other? _____.A. YesB. NoC. Not mentioned.D. Both are ok.20. The author’s attitude toward using two sides of the brain is _____.A. positiveB. negativeC. not logicalD. criticalII. Cloze（20 Points）Standing in the door of Mr. Murphy’s office, I could see he was __21__ something he was reading. He had both elbows on his desk, his head was resting _22___ one hand and his other hand was cupped about his mouth. I knew that he was keeping his office hours and that student _23___ was encouraged,but all the same, I was afraid to _24___. Then, as I turned to leave, my foot _25___ against the bottom of the door, startling me and causing the professor to __26___. His eyes had simply moved from the desk to me, but the rest of his physical __27__ remained the same. He invited me in without gesture, just a “Come in. What is it that you need?” There was little if _28__ warmth or tone in his voice; it wasn’t exactly _29___. Despite being intimidated, I made a conscious effect to relax and _30___ myself to smile and enter the room. “Mr. Murphy,” the _31___ of my voice rose as I began my introduction, “I’m sorry to _32___, My name is Peter. I am in your second-period English class.”“Peter, did you say it was?” he replied. His reaction __33__ me. It was apparent that I had not made __34___ of an impression with the presentation I made in class last week. He said my name _35___ he would not have remembered it without my __36__ it for him first ------as though he were no more impressed than if he had __37__ a beggar on the street. He continued, “Do you have something you want to discuss with me, __38___ do you just stop by to visit?”In fact, I had stopped by to visit, but I was no longer feeling up to it and was looking for a fast exit. It seemed that the invitation he had __39__ in class, “Drop by my office for a visit anytime. My door is always open. ” was just a(n) __40__ gesture probably required by the school.

The following are a few examples of countries undertaking new environmental initiatives.CanadaWhen European explorers first came to the new world, the fishing ground off what would become eastern Canada and new England held abundant cod and other species. The area, called the Grand Banks, was the most abundant fishing ground in the world. Now, 500 years later, excessive fishing has reduced the number of fish of dangerously low levels. In response, Canada has closed the area to cod fishing and set strict limits on catches of other species.When Canada took similar measures to protect the supply of herring in the 1970s, the fish eventually recovered. But experts say that some species today have been so wasted, they may never recover. The government also faced protests from Canadian fishermen. About 40,000 are now unemployed as a result of the fishing bans and loss of their fish supply.Costa RicaThis central American country has one of the more ambitious programs in the world to preserve the ecological diversity of its tropical rain forests. Much of the country has already been clear-cut, and soil erosion has been extensive. But a series of new environmental laws, together with the creation of parks and nature preserves that cover one quarter of the country, are aimed at protecting Costa Rica’s remaining forests.BrazilBrazil is the home of the world’s largest jungle rain forest, the Amazon. For decades, the government sought to colonize and develop the Amazon, bringing severe environmental disaster to the area and its people.But in 1991, under pressure from environmentalists around the world, Brazil reversed course. It ended tax favors that encouraged clearing of the Amazon rain forest, and agreed to a plan to finance new forest protection projects.Cattle farmers, miners, and settlers have protested the move and continue to destroy the forests, although at a slower pace than before. The conflict enlarged last year when miners killed a group of Amazon Indians in order to seize their land. The government promises it will protect the region’s native people, but questions remain as to its true level of commitment.Eastern EuropeThe nations of eastern Europe, including Poland, Hungary, and the Czech and Slovak Republics, are considered the most polluted of all the world’s industrialized countries. Heavy metals from coal mining have contaminated much of the area’s waters. Rivers, land and forests are so contaminated that many are now biologically dead.In a special series of treaties, Eastern European countries and other nations, including the United states, have set up special funds for environmental cleanups and improving the region’s power plants. In addition, Germany and the Czech Republic have signed a treaty to protect the Elbe River from further contamination. Experts say the treaty could serve as a model for protecting other river in the region, including the Oder and Danube.GhanaGhana’s population has been growing by 3.2 percent a year. This explosive growth has led to removal of forests in much of the country, and excessive use of existing farmland. Forests have been cut down at the rate of 278 square miles a year.In response, the government has urged local villages to create more shared farmland. It had supported the growing of cash crops such as cassava, maize, cotton, and the planting of trees to regenerate waste land. Observers say the program has succeeded in strengthening the country’s agricultural base and bringing a new source of wealth to villagers. But it remains to be seen whether these measures will have enough impact to slow the rate of removing the forests.IndonesiaIndonesians have traditionally favored large families, and their major religion, Islam, frowns on birth control. But with 188 million people, the country is now struggling to provide enough food, shelter, and employment for its people. In recent years, the government has waged a massive ad campaign to encourage birth control, offering inducements such as free trips to Mecca, the birthplace of Islam in Saudi Arabia.The government has succeeded in increasing use of birth control from 10 percent of the population 20 years ago to 49 percent today. As a result, the average number of birth has been cut from 5.6 children per woman to 3. The government hopes to reduce this average to 2.1 children per woman by 2005. But with such a large population base, the country must still convert millions more to the idea of birth control if it is to reach its population targets.( )21. Now Canada is the most abundant fishing ground in the world as it used to be.( )22. Many Canadian fishermen are out of work just because of the lack of fish.( )23. From the article, we can infer that the government of Brazil seldom keep their promise. ( )24. The villagers in Ghana become richer with the help of the government’s policy.( )25. The major religion in Indonesia favored birth control.Section TWO: Directions: Read the following passages carefully and do the multiple-choice questions. Passage One: Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The fear that technology would eliminate jobs is not peculiar to our century. It goes back at least to the first part of the last century. It was then that groups of English workers tried to prevent the industrialization of Britain by wrecking factories and machinery. They thought the machines were going to take away their jobs. In fact, the machines increased the number of jobs well beyond anyone’s wildest dreams.One of the few things on which economists of all different schools agree is the idea that technology reduces jobs is a fallacy. It is a fallacy because it assumes that the total amount of work to be done in any economic system is fixed.It is really not fixed at all. It is changing constantly. And for many reasons, new consumer demands, population increases, technology—they all work to increase employment.In the late 30 years, for instance, America has added 30 million people to the ranks of the employed. Many of them work in industries that only came into being because of new technology.The microelectronics industry is an obvious example. This industry did not even exist 30 years ago. Today it is the world’s ninth largest industry. And it is growing. It is expected to be the fourth largest by the end of this decade. Certainly any industry with this kind of record has positive impact on jobs. In fact, in the past decade the rate of job growth in microelectronics has been twice as fast as the national average. And the industry is giving rise to entirely new kinds of service jobs that rely on microelectronic products. They are all part of our growing information society.The greatest threat to the labor force today is lacke of technology. Business faces international competition. And technology is international. Preventing or delaying its introduction in one country would mean its even more successful introduction in other countries. Companies need to invest aggressively in technological innovation—if they are to remain competitive—and create new jobs.26. English workers tried to wreck factories and machinery because they wanted to ________ .A. eliminate jobs created by industrializationB. keep their jobsC. increase the number of jobsD. pave the way for new technology to develop in their country27.According to this passage, all the economists ________ .A. hold the opinion that technology reduces jobsB. think that the total amount of work to be done in an economic system is fixedC. have different opinions as to whether technology reduces jobsD. think that it is wrong to say technology reduces jobs28.Which of the following ideas is NOT mentioned in this passage?A. Lack of technology is the greatest threat to the labor force.B. Technology can create jobs rather than reduce jobs.C. No industry can develop without new technology.D. The idea that technology reduces jobs is a fallacy.29.The author cites the microelectronics industry as an obvious example in the passage to illustrate that ________ .A. it is a fast-growing industryB. business faces international competitionC. technology can increase employmentD. it plays an important role in the development of new technology30.Preventing or delaying its introduction in one country would mean its even more successful introduction in other countries. This sentence is used to illustrate ________ .A. international competition in technologyB. the importance of developing new technologyC. the necessity of creating new jobsD. the aggressiveness of technological innovation Passage Two: Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstanding between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways, that they are possessive and dominant, that they do not trust their children to deal with crises, that they talk too much about certain problems, and that they have no sense of humor, at least in parent-child relationships.I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they themselves felt when young.Young people often irritate their parents with their choice in clothes and hairstyles, in entertainment and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted. So they create a culture and society of their own. Then, if it turns out that their music or vocabulary or clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way and that they are leaders in style and taste.Sometimes you are resistant and proud, because you do not want your parents to approve of what you do. If they did approve, it looks as if you are betraying your own age group. But in that case, you are assuming that you are the underdog: you can’t win but at least you can keep your honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after long years of childhood, when you were completely under your parents’control. But it ignores the fact that you are now beginning to beresponsible for yourself.If you plan to control your life, co-operation can be part of that plan. You can charm others, especially your parents, into doing things the ways you want. You can impress others with your sense of responsibility and initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.31. What is the author’s attitude towards the teenagers’criticism of their parents?A. He completely agrees with them.B. He doesn’t think the teenagers are mature enough.C.
