Most people use their keywords to draw“feelings”,such as::-)(happy):)-(joking):-((sad):-o(surprised) These days,many forums(论坛)have picture feelings.For example:There are even whole new words,like“newbies”(someone who is new on a chat board or forum). When you write something bad about someone else,it’s called“flaming”the person.It takes time for people to get used to e-talk.Also,different groups on the Net have their own special ways of communicating(交流).Newbies sometimes have to ask other people what they mean.As the Internets grows,e-talk will continue to grow and change.57.We use the Internet for________.A.business and shoppingB.writing letters and talking to peopleC.finding informationD.All above58.Why do people type acronyms?A.To show their feelings.B.To make jokes.C.Because people can type them quickly.D.In this way newbies won’t understand them.59.What does“BTW,my computer is not working well.:-(“mean?A.The person is happy about getting a new computer.B.The person has to go away from their computer.C.The person is angry at somebody.D.The person is sad that his computer is having problems.60.If someone is angry,what may he type?A.

Even a skilled writer probably could n ot descnbe all the leatures that make one face different from ancther.Yet a very young chid-or even an animal,such as a pigeon-can le am to recognize taces,we al take this ability for grantedWe also lell people apart by how they behave,When we talk about someone's penor she acts.s peaks,thinks and feels that make that individual d fferent from others.Like the human face,human personalty is very complex But descnbing someone's personality in words is somewhat easier than descn bing his face.If you were asked to descnbe what a 'nice face"lboked lihe,you probably would have a difficut bme doing soBut if you were asked to descnbe a "nice person",you might begin tb think about someone who was kuind,considerato,fmendly,wam,a nd so forthThere are many words to descnbe howa person thinks,eels and acts Fordin Alport,an American psychologists,found nearly 18 000 English words charactenzing differences in people's behavior And manyof us use his infomation as a basis for descnibing,of typing.hispersonality.Bookworms.conservatives,military types-people are described with such terms People have alweys tried tb "type'each other,Actors in earty Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the vi llains（坏人）or the hero＇s role In tact，the words ＂person＂and＂personalty＂come from the Latn persona，meaning ＇＂mask＂.Today，mostt elevision and movie actors do not wear masks But we can easily tel the 'good guys trom the "bad guys'"because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions16.

Or is inteligence developed by out environment and our experience?Strangely e nough,the answer to these questions is yes To some extent our inteiligence s gven tb us at birth,and no amount of specal education can make a genius out of a chid bom with low intelligence On the other hand,a child who lves in a bonng environment will develop his intetigence less than one who lives in nich and vaned surroundings Thus the hmits of person's intelligence are hred at brth,whether or not he reaches hose lmts wil depend on his environment This view,now held by most experts,can be supported n a number of ways.It is easy tb show that irteligence s tb some extert something we are bom wth The closer the blood relatonship two people,the closer they are likety tb be in intellgence Thus f we take two unvelated people at random from the populaton,it is likety that their degree of in telligence will be completety different it.on the other hand.we take two identcal twns,they will very likely be as intelligent as each othe t.Relations like brothers and sisters.parents and chitren,usualy have smar nteligence,and thus cieafty suggests that intelligence d epends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments We mightsend one,for example,to a universty an d the other to a factory where the work is boring,We would soon find differences in intelligence developing,and thvs indicates that envircontact with each other but who are not related at all are likely tb have similar degree of intefigence.21.The wrter is in favor of the view that man's ntelligence is gven tb himA) at birthB)through educatonC)both at birth and trough educatonD)neither at birth nor through education22 Ha child is bom with low nteligence,he mayA) become a genusB) still become a genus the should be give special educationC) reach his inteligence lmits in nch surroundingsD)not reach his intelgence in his te23. In the second paragraph 'f we take two unrelated peoA) pick any two personsB) take out two differert personsC) choose two persons who are relativeD)choose two persons weh diferent inteligence24.The example of the tmins going b a universty and tb a factory separately showsA) the mportance of ther intelligenceB)the role of environmert on intelligenceC)te mportance of teir postonsD)the part that birth plays25 The best the of this passage can beA) Surroundings B)IntellgenceC)Dependence on Envronment D)Efect of EducatonPassage FourA telescope,lke a microscope.enables us to see things which we could nat see without i A microscope magnifes things(or features of ngs)which are so smal that they are invisible tb the naked eye They may be as smal as a cel or even a small group of molecules Micre n Greek,and in several English technical words,means"smal"But ele-in Greek means distant or tar away The word "television"is alsc erived from this Greek word In England,Australia,and New Zealand we cal a televsion set the "elly'.which is almost the same as the C ek word In the United Sates people cal ta TV.A telescope enables us to see objects which,though milions of tmes lbrger han ourseves,appear much smaller because they are so away Even the images of stars which we see thvrough a telescope are.of course greaty reduced in size in comparson with the stars a al size But a telescope enables us tb see stars which are invisible tb the human eye as well as gving us a brighter,clearer image of those which are visibleIn the last twenty or thirty years there has been a great improvemert in tpower d belescopes There are now me very large and powerful elescopes in existence When you see the sun nse in the morming you are eight minutes late Whatis the meanng of ths strange statement?

Reading Comprehension (30%)Passage One:When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses.What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples --- people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people don’t like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.1.Which of the following has become one of America’s fastest growingbusinesses?A. Selling home furnishings.B. Renting furnished apartments.C. Selling used furniture.D. Renting home furnishings.2.Why do some people prefer to rent furniture?A.Because the furniture they get in this way is new.B.Because it saves them a lot of money.C.Because it saves them much trouble and money.D.Because they can always get better quality furniture in this way.3.What can you infer from the passage?A.The idea of renting furniture is not acceptable.B.Renting furniture is not popular in the couple’s home town.C.Only those who don’t have enough money rent furniture.D.People usually grow to like the furniture they have rented.4.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. rent or Buy?B.

The new furniture is of good quality.D. They don’t have much money and don’t want to buy the cheap furniture.Passage Two:For the most part, rapid economic development has been a boon. But there is a down side to development – health problems such as overweight are all becoming more prevalent, as more people take taxis to work instead of riding their bicycles, and other labor-saving devices become more popular.An increasing fast pace of life makes it difficult for people to spend time working out or playing sports. “I know exercise is good for your health,” a young lady said. “But after a busy work week, the only thing I want to do is watch some TV and go to sleep.” That attitude may explain the results of a recent nationwide study, which suggested 15 percent of urban adults I China are overweight, a large number of people over the age of 40 suffer from high blood pressure and cardiac ailments.Local researchers found that 31.2 percent of elderly respondents were getting enough exercise, but less than 9 percent of youngsters and the middle-aged got an adequate amount of physical activity.Elderly people understand the importance of protecting their health. The young people, however, are busy working and use this as an excuse to avoid exercise. In fact, physical exercise doesn’t require much time, money or a special gymnasium. People can make use of any time and any place at their convenience to take part in sports. Walking quickly, cycling, climbing the stairs and dancing are all helpful methods to enhance one’s health.The benefits of adding a little more activity to your lift are priceless. “There is no need to be an athlete, however,” a local doctor said. People should walk for 30 minutes a day and take part in other physical activity three to five times a week. He warns, however, that people in poor physical shape should start slowly, and build up over time.China has taken the need for more exercise to heart, with the government running several activities last Sunday, which was the designated World Health Day. Pamphlets and posters based on the theme“Move for Health” were distributed nationwide, encouraging people to develop a positive and healthy lifestyle.6.Rapid economic development has resulted in all the following except ____.A.an increasing number of taxi passengersB.the wide use of labor-saving devicesC.an increasingly fast pace of lifeD.people’s awareness of the importance of exercise7.Some people are getting overweight because ____.A.they are too busy to have any time for exerciseB.they are ignorant of the benefits of exerciseC.they are too weak to participate in physical activityD.they are short of money to pay for different exercises8.According to the passage, who need regular daily exercise most?A.People taking taxis to work.B.Urban adults with full-time jobs.C.Elderly people suffering from high blood pressure.D.Youngsters dreaming of becoming professional athletes.9.What is the main idea of the last paragraph but one?A.Many people are still unable to afford the cost of physical exercises.B.Nobody should take part in physical activity in order to be an athlete.C.Moderate physical exercise is usually enough for ordinary people.D.Old or sick people should only take part in physical exercises of theslowest type.10.By referring to rapid economic development as “a boon” at the beginning ofthe passage, the author means that ____.A.it has benefited the general public greatlyB.it has done harm to people’s health nationwideC.it is going faster than anyone could have imaginedD.it has helped to establish a positive and health lifestyle of the publicPassage Three:Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to dispose of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem – how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which utilizes not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no conventional fuel is needed to make the campus’s six buildings comfortable.Some parts of most modern buildings – theaters and offices as well as classrooms – are more than amply heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing it is called “heat recovery”. A few modern buildings recover heat, but the University’s system is the first to recover heat from some buildings andreuse it in others.Along the way, Pitt has learned a great deal about some of its heat producers. The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. Male students emit more heat than female students, and the larger a student, the more heat he produces. It is tempting to conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard-working, overweight male genius.11.Until recently, body heat has caused problems because it_____.A. was difficult to collectB. came in variety of formsC. was difficult to get rid of itD. tended to be absorbed by physical objects12.Which of the following is true of the heating system of the Johnstowncampus?A. The heat is supplied by human bodiesB. The heat is supplied by both human bodies and otherheat-emitting objectsC. The heat is supplied by both human bodies and conventional fuelD. The heat is supplied by human bodies, other heat-emitting objects, and conventional fuel13.At the Johnstown campus, how many of the buildings are heated entirely bythe heat collection system?A. NoneB. TwoC. FourD. Six14.According to the passage, which of the following would produce theLEAST amount of heat?A. A fat female who studies hardB. A thin female who does not studyC. A fat male who does not studyD. A thin male who studies hard15.In the last paragraph, the “hottest prospect” means the____.A. most intelligent studentB. most desirable studentC. most diligent studentD. most learned studentPassage Four：The resources of the library can be helpful even when we are doing something very informal, such as trying to devise a better way to measure attitudes toward music or looking for a better way to teach mathematics. The library can be equally helpful when we are doing something very formal, such as writing a dissertation (学位论文) or preparing an article for publication in a professional journal. In either case, our goal should be to use the library as a useful tool to help us understand and solve our problem.The following sections of this chapter will describe specific resources available in many libraries. In some cases you may already be aware of a resource and may use it frequently and successfully. In other cases you may be completely unfamiliar with a resource. Your goal should be to become aware of what is available and to know how to use each of these resources to help you solve the problem they are designed to solve.When educators have a piece of information that they want to share with their colleagues, they often make this information available in professional journals or at professional meetings. It would often be useful to have access to such information, and this chapter will describe the special services that enable us to locate such information.16.The library resources can be helpful when we ______.A. want to find a better way to measure attitudes toward musicB. are preparing a paper for a professional journalC. are writing a dissertationD. All of the above17.Readers’ familiarity with different resources ______.A. is more or less the sameB. varies slightlyC. differs greatlyD. should not be different18.The author believes that ______.A. library resources should be used frequently and completelyB. library resources cannot be made good use of if they are not available tousC. one is supposed to be aware of the library resources that are usually notavailableD. one is supposed to have good knowledge and make good use of libraryresources19.When educators wish to share some information with their colleagues, theyoften ______.A. publish it in a professional journalB. organize professional meetingsC. get access to it in the libraryD. make use of some library services20.The chapter in question mainly ______.A. deals with the ways of dissertation writingB. presents information on publishing papers in professional journalsC. introduces some library servicesD. describes some professional meetingsPart III.

Reading Comprehension（30 points）Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B,C,and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter.Passage OneIn the United States, teaching is very important. If teachers do not teach well, students complain. If many students do not understand, people think that the teacher does not do a good job. The teacher has big responsibility to make sure students understand. In a sense, students are consumers and the teacher is offering services.Students have the right to evaluate their teachers, and they usually do so at the end of each course. That evaluation includes lots of aspects of teaching, such as explanation, preparation, using good examples, answering questions, and organization of classes.Students are supposed to read required textbooks and recommended books before classes. Without reading them, they will find it very difficult to understand the class. Basic courses on doing research and writing papers are taught at the beginning of the program. They teach things very concretely(具体地) and clearly. Students are expected to apply what they have learned to their studies.Classes are usually divided into lectures and seminars. There are some lecture classes, where the teacher just gives a lecture, and students ask questions at the end. Most graduate level classes are lectures and discussions. Participating in discussions is very important. Higher level classes involve very little lecturing. They emphasize discussion and presentation by the students.1.( )According to the passage, good teachers should ___________.A．try to please their students B．treat their students as consumersC．understand their students well D．make sure their students understand2.( )What are students expected to do before attending a class?A．Go over the lessons thoroughly. B．Understand the textbooks well.C．Do the reading assignments. D．Prepare on outline for discussion.3.( )When a program starts, students should first __________.A．learn how to do research and write papers.B．have some learning experienceC．learn about the course concretely and clearlyD．know how to participate in discussions.4.( )Higher level classes are taught mainly through ________.A．giving a lot of lectures to studentsB．involving students in discussionsC．asking students questions in classD．answering students’ questions in class5.( ) Students in higher level classes spend much time______.A.listening to the teacher’s lecturesB.answering the teacher’s questionsC.discussing and presenting their ideasD.reading different books and taking notesPassage TwoFares and schedules are always changing. Travel information can be seen everywhere on the Internet and there are so many vacation packages waiting for you to choose. All this can make travel planning confusing and time consuming. To make a choice, tourists and business people often turn to travel agents, who provide them with the best possible travel arrangements.In general, travel agents give advice on places you should go to, and make arrangements for transportation, hotel accommodations, car rental, sightseeing, and entertainment. They may also tell you about weather conditions, restaurants, and tourists attractions. For international travel, agents also make sure that you have the necessary papers such as passports and visas, and tell you how to go through the customs. They sometimes provide information on money exchange rates.Travel agents will search all kinds of sources for information on departure and arrival times, fares, hotel ratings and accommodations. They may visit hotels andrestaurants to know more. In this way they will be able to provide their customers with more valuable advice on travel.Travel agents also promote their services, using phones, direct mail and the Internet. They arrange advertising displays for some social groups, and suggest company trips to business managers. Travel agents no longer receive commission from domestic airline, and they face more and more competition from the Internet for low cost fares. In orders to find a small business in the Market, many travel agents now specialize in travel to certain regions or for certain groups of people, such as honeymooners, grandparents, etc.6. ( )This passage mainly tells us ______.A. what a travel agent's work is all aboutB. the interesting part of travel agents' workC. the difficult part of travel agents' workD. the commission travel agents can get from domestic airlines7.

King, the family dog, was trying to pull her out of bed. Then she smelled smoke and heard the sound of fire from her parent’s room. Pearl’s shouting awoke her mother, Fern , and father, Howard. Howard had recently been in a hospital for lung disease. Fern helped Howard to a first-floor window, told him to climb out, and then ran to her daughter.Still inside, King appeared at Pearl’s window, making squeaking sound. When she ran toward Pearl’s bedroom, Fern realized her husband hadn’t yet escaped. She made her way back through the smoke and fire. Following King’s sound, she found Howard lay on the floor. Fern helped him get outside. King came out only after both were safe.At daybreak, the Carlsons saw that King’s entire body was badly burned. His chain collar had gotten so hot that it burned his throat. He couldn’t bark normally now. Only after the seven-year-old dog refused food did they find pieces of wood in his mouth. They realized that King , who slept outside, had bitten through a wood door to warn his family.11.( ) Why did Pearl Carlson wake up at such an early hour?A.Her mother awoke her from sleep.B.She was awaken by the family dog.C.Her father pulled her out of bed.D.She smelled smoke and heard the sound of fire.12.( )Which of the following is TRUE about Howard before the fire?A.He had just had an operation.B.He had lost his job in a hospital.C.He had had problems with his lung.D.He had got very sick because of smoking.13.( )How did Fern know that her husband hadn’t yet come out of the house?A.King made some sounds at Pearl’s window.B.Pearl told her that Howard was still inside.C.Fern didn’t see her hus band outside.D.Fern heard her husband shout for help.14.( )We know from the passage that when the room caught fire, King____.A.was sleeping in Pearl’s roomB.ran out of the house immediatelyC.broke into the house to wake up PearlD.barked at the door to wake up the Carlsons15.( )From the passage we can guess that King is a/an____ dog.zyB. uglyC.cleverD.fatV.Translation（15 points）Directions: For this section, you are supposed to translate the following 5 sentences into Chinese.1.Mary is a keen reader of love stories.____________________________________________________________________ 2.The small town usually starts to come alive after dark.____________________________________________________________________ 3.I was amazed at her knowledge of French literature.____________________________________________________________________ 4.When they got married they had lots of problems, but things worked out in the end._____________________________________________________________________ 5.He is friendly and rarely does he lose his temper.______________________________________________________________________。

Analysis (12 marks, 6 marks each)Are the following E/R diagrams good designs? Justify your answer and try to give better designs if they exist. If you feel they work well under some requirements but not under others, give specific examples. To simplify, keys are not underlined in the diagrams.a.Below is an E/R diagram for companies and employees. One constraint forthe E/R diagram below is that each employee can work in only onecompany.Solution:By making “manager” an attribute, the diagram maintains the one-to-one relationship. However, it does not guarantee that the manager is one of the employees.b.Below is an E/R diagram for a company database involving projects,departments, and employees. Each project can be sponsored by severaldepartments and monitored by several employees in the company. Eachdepartment can sponsor several projects. Each employee can monitor severalprojects and may work in several departments. An employee can monitor aproject that is not in his department.Solution:In this case a trade-off needs to be made between binary relationship and ternary relationship. The same information can be modeled more naturally using the E/R diagram as below. It’s not a good idea to blend the concept of “sponsor” and “monitor”together. Also, in the original diagram, we lost the information of which employee works in which company.Solution:Ⅲ.

同济大学继续教育学院2017学年秋季学期期终考试专升本复习卷Part I. Reading Comprehension (30%)Passage OneFor the most part, rapid economic development has been a boon. But there is a down side to development –health problems such as overweight are all becoming more prevalent, as more people take taxis to work instead of riding their bicycles, and other labor-saving devices become more popular.An increasing fast pace of life makes it difficult for people to spend time working out or playing sports. “I know exercise is good for your health,” a young lady sai d. “But after a busy work week, the only thing I want to do is watch some TV and go to sleep.” That attitude may explain the results of a recent nationwide study, which suggested 15 percent of urban adults I China are overweight, a large number of people over the age of 40 suffer from high blood pressure and cardiac ailments.Local researchers found that 31.2 percent of elderly respondents were getting enough exercise, but less than 9 percent of youngsters and the middle-aged got an adequate amount of physical activity.Elderly people understand the importance of protecting their health. The young people, however, are busy working and use this as a n excuse to avoid exercise. In fact, physical exercise doesn’t require much time, money or a special gymnasium. People can make use of any time and any place at their convenience to take part in sports. Walking quickly, cycling, climbing the stairs and dancing are all helpful methods to enhance one’s health.The benefits of adding a little more activity to your lift are priceless. “There is no need to be an athlete, however,” a local doctor sai d. People should walk for 30 minutes a day and take part in other physical activity three to five times a week. He warns, however, that people in poor physical shape should start slowly, and build up over time.China has taken the need for more exercise to heart, with the government running several activities last Sunday, which was the designated World Health Day. Pamphlets and posters based on the theme “Move for Health” were distributed nationwide, encouraging people to develop a positive and healthy lifestyle.1.Rapid economic development has resulted in all the following except ____.A.an increasing number of taxi passengersB.the wide use of labor-saving devicesC.an increasingly fast pace of lifeD.people’s awareness of the importance of exercise2.Some people are getting overweight because ____.A.they are too busy to have any time for exerciseB.they are ignorant of the benefits of exerciseC.they are too weak to participate in physical activityD.they are short of money to pay for different exercises3.According to the passage, who need regular daily exercise most?A.People taking taxis to work.B.Urban adults with full-time jobs.C.Elderly people suffering from high blood pressure.D.Youngsters dreaming of becoming professional athletes.4.What is the main idea of the last paragraph but one?A.Many people are still unable to afford the cost of physical exercises.B.Nobody should take part in physical activity in order to be an athlete.C.Moderate physical exercise is usually enough for ordinary people.D.Old or sick people should only take part in physical exercises of the slowest type.5.By referring to rapid economic development as “a boon” at the beginning of the passage, theauthor means that ____.A.it has benefited the general public greatlyB.it has done harm to people’s health nationwideC.it is going faster than anyone could have imaginedD.it has helped to establish a positive and health lifestyle of the publicPassage TwoFor Roy Johnson, a senior magazine editor, the latest indignity came after a recent dinner at a fancy restaurant in the wealthy New York City suburb where he and his family live. First the parking valet handed him the keys to his Jaguar instead of fetching the car. Then an elderly white couple came out and handed hi the keys to their black Mercedes-Benz. “It took them a while to realize that I was not a valet,” says Johnson.“It didn’t matter that I was dressed for dinner and had paid a handsome price for the meal, just as he had. What mattered was that I didn’t fit his idea of someone who could be equal to him.”Such incidents, which are depressingly familiar to African-Americans of all ages, incomes and social classes, help explain why black and white attitudes often differ so completely. A recent survey found that 68 percent of blacks believe racism is still a major problem in America. Only 38 percent of whites agreed.Many Americans find the gulf between blacks and whites bewildering. After all, official segregation is a bad memory and 40 years of laws, policies and court decisions have helped African-Americans make significant progress toward equal opportunity. Indeed, a black man born iin Harlem could be the nation’s next president.But racism persists, unmistakable to every black but largely invisible to many whites. It is evident in the everyday encounters. African-Americans have with racial prejudice and discrimination, like the valet parking incident. Such encounters often strike whites as trivial misunderstandings. But they remind blacks that they are often dismissed as less intelligent, less industrious, less honest and less likely to succeed. Some insults are patently racist; others may be evidence of insensitivity or bad manners rather than racial prejudice. But the accumulation of insults feeds anger.“What is amazing to me is the number of whites who express surprise that any of this happens,”observes Mary Frances Berry, chairperson of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, who says she hasbeen watched at shopping malls.6.The Word “valet” in the first paragraph most ly probably means ____.A. a restaurant ownerB. a driver of expensive carsC. a wealthy-looking gentlemanD. a restaurant employee taking care of the cars of the diners7.Roy Johnson was unfairly treated because ____.A.his car was inferior in qualityB.he forgot to wear proper clothesC.he failed to express himself clearlyD.he is black8.From the passage we can learn that ____.A.both blacks and whites are bewildered by racismB.examples of racism are common in the USC.some government officials have very bad memoriesD. a black man born in Harlem will be the next US president9.It is implied in the passage that many white people deny the presence of racism in the USbecause ____.A.they tend to regard instances of racism as trivial misunderstandingB.they have never seen any instance of racism in their countryC.they believe that black people are inherently less intelligent and less industriousD.they have always treated black people as their equals10.Judging from the context, the most possible explanation for Mary Frances Berry’s being watchedat shopping malls is that ____.A.she was a national celebrityB.she didn’t fit people’s idear of an Afro-American womanC.many people nowadays are insensitive and rudeD.she is blackPassage ThreeAs a century of grand retailing comes to a close, the 94-year0old “merchant prince of Teas”–who turned Neiman Marcus from a small specialty shop into one of the world’s major retail stores –says department stores today must recreate themselves if they are to survive.Marcus is worried about that customer service is being igored. He considers hoe shopping networks “a step above snake oil peddlers”. And despite all the advantages he sees in selling over the Internet, he says it is no substitute for a good salesperson.Today, as head of his own Dallas consultancy firm, Marcus is moving into the next century advocating the same philosophy he held throughout the 20th century: focus on quality and service, and sales will take care of themselves.“I’ve always believed that quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten,” says Marcus, who still makes regular visits to the flagship Neiman Marcus store in downtown Dallas, where he looks over new fashion lines, examines the latest fine imported luggage and greets young salespeople eager to talk with him. “The price of a great meal disappears from the memory, but the price of a bad one will be remembered for years. If you force a bad buy on a customer, he will never forgive you.”Marcus puts much of the blame on business schools for what he sees a lack of quality – and vitality –in department stores. He says the schools are turning out graduates who are excellent money managers and cost cutters, but who lack the skills that helped make the great stores like Macy’s, and his own, into retailing legends. The MBA programs do not teach principles of selling, principles of human understanding, principles of leadership speaking, which, he believes, is the most important thing.“I do not want ‘trained’ salespeople. The word training is the most terrible word. You train dogs and bears to do repetitive action. But with people, you educate them, because no amount of training takes the place of experience that enables them to answer all the questions that customers will ask.”11.What is the problem with department stores today?A.Neglect of customer service.B.Excessive running costs.C.Fierce challenge from the home shopping network.D.Uncompetitive prices.12.In Marcus’s view, good salespeople ____.A.will soon be replaced by the InternetB.can compete with peddlersC.ensure the success of a retailing businessD.have recreated department stores13.Which of the following is likely to be long remembered?A.Good service.B.The price of a bad buy.C.The price of a good buy.D.Good quality.14.What is the problem with MBA programs?A.Failure to teach principles of human understanding.B.Too much emphasis on cost cutting.ck of vitality.D.Neglect of strict training.15.What is the major difference between training and educating according to Marcus?A.Training is applied to animals while educating is applied to humans.B.Training is a terrible word while educating is a wonderful one.C.Training enables the trainee to imitate while educating enriches his experience.D.Training is aimed at action while educating is aimed at answering questions.Passage FourSeveral commentators and scientists have suggested that it might in some cases be ethically acceptable to clone existing people. One possibility is generating a replacement for a dying relative. All such possibilities, however, raise the concern that the clone would be treated as less than a complete individual, because he or she would likely be subjected to limitations and expectations based on the family’s knowledge of the genetic “twin.” Those expectations might be false, because human personality is only partly determined by genes. The clone of an extrovert(性格外向的人) could have a quite different way of behavior. Clone of athletes, movie stars, entrepreneurs or scientists might well choose different careers because of chance events in early life.Some people have also put forward the notion that couples in which one member is infertile might choose to make a copy of one or the other partner. But society ought to be concerned that a couple might not treat naturally a child who is a copy fo just one of them. Because other methods are available for the treatment of all known types of infertility, conventional therapeutic avenues seem more appropriate. None of the suggested uses of cloning for make copies of existing people is ethically acceptable to my way of thinking, because they are not in the interests of the resulting child. It should go without saying that I am strongly opposed to allowing cloned human embryos to develop so that they can be tissue donors.It nonetheless seems clear that cloning from cultured cells will offer important medical opportunities. Predictions about new technologies are often wrong: societal attitudes change; unexpected developments occur. Time will tell. But biomedical researchers looking into the potential of cloning now have plenty to do.16.What is the author’s concern about cloning an existing person?A.The clone created will have one defect or another.B.The clone created will be mistreated.C.The clone created is unlikely to fulfill your expectations.D.The clone created is ethically unacceptable.17.It can be inferred from the text that a clone will ____.A.choose the same career as the person it is created fromB.behave in the same way as the person it is created fromC.share the same characteristics with the person it is created fromD.be partially similar in personality to the person it is created from18.According to the passage, one’s personality is determined by ____.A.their genesB.the environment they live inC.both their genes and the environment they live inD.neither their genes nor the environment they live in19.In the author’s view, which of the following uses of cloning is justifiable?A.To replace a lost relative.B.To help childless couples to have a baby.C.To develop tissue donors.D.To culture cells for medical purposes.20.What is the author’s attitude towards cloning technology?A.It should be condemned.B.It has medical potential for scientists to explore.C.It should wait till people’s views change.D.It was unethical from the very beginning.Part II.

Many artists tried. The king looked at all the pictures. But only two he really liked, and he had to choose between them. One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirroring for towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace. The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky, from which rain fell and in which lightning played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all.But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest - - in perfect peace.Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second picture. Do you know why?“Because, ” explained the king, “peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, no trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. This is the real meaning of peace.”75. The king offered a prize for the best picture of peace, didn’t he?76. Of all the pictures, how many did the king truly like?77. How would you describe the lake in the first picture?78. What was there in both pictures?79. Where was the bush where the mother bird built its nest?80.Do you agree with the king，s choice? Why or why not?(此题2 分）X.

Their drivers had shown the _22_ necessary to park in a way that still _23_ other people to park.“Think about it,” I said. “Only one _24_ parks poorly and we start using ‘people’ to describe the driver.” The _25_ of the matter is that we forget about the thousands of people who behave themselves when we see one person doing something 26 .I’ve been _27_ for many years, and the percentage of good drivers is always _28_ than the percentage of poor drivers. “People” don’t necessarily drive poorly, but individuals do.My wife and I almost didn’t _29_ the many cars that were parked well because the car that was parked poorly caught our _30_.

Reading Comprehension (30%)Passage One:When John and Victoria Falls arrived in New York City for one-year stay, they did not bring very many things with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new system that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings (bed, tables, dishes, and so on) has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses.What kinds of people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? People who are international business or government officials, foreign students, airline workers, young married couples --- people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city to another. They save a lot of trouble and the cost of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new homes. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they may soon dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy.One family, who now have a large, beautiful home of their own, liked their rented furniture so much that they decided to keep renting it instead of buying new things. But usually people don’t like to tell others about it. The idea of renting home furnishings is still quite new, and they are not sure what their neighbors might think.1.Which of the following has become one of America’s fastest growingbusinesses?A. Selling home furnishings.B. Renting furnished apartments.C. Selling used furniture.D. Renting home furnishings.2.Why do some people prefer to rent furniture?A.Because the furniture they get in this way is new.B.Because it saves them a lot of money.C.Because it saves them much trouble and money.D.Because they can always get better quality furniture in this way.3.What can you infer from the passage?A.The idea of renting furniture is not acceptable.B.Renting furniture is not popular in the couple’s home town.C.Only those who don’t have enough money rent furniture.D.People usually grow to like the furniture they have rented.4.Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. rent or Buy?B. A New Way of Getting Home FurnishingsC. Furnished ApartmentsD. A New Idea5.Young people liked renting home furniture in that _______.A. They have less money.B. They don’t want to buy old furniture.C. The new furniture is of good quality.D. They don’t have much money and don’t want to buy the cheap furniture.Passage Two:For the most part, rapid economic development has been a boon. But there is a down side to development – health problems such as overweight are all becoming more prevalent, as more people take taxis to work instead of riding their bicycles, and other labor-saving devices become more popular.An increasing fast pace of life makes it difficult for people to spend time working out or playing sports. “I know exercise is good for your health,” a young lady said. “But after a busy work week, the only thing I want to do is watch some TV and go to sleep.” That attitude may explain the results of a recent nationwide study, which suggested 15 percent of urban adults I China are overweight, a large number of people over the age of 40 suffer from high blood pressure and cardiac ailments.Local researchers found that 31.2 percent of elderly respondents were getting enough exercise, but less than 9 percent of youngsters and the middle-aged got an adequate amount of physical activity.Elderly people understand the importance of protecting their health. The young people, however, are busy working and use this as an excuse to avoid exercise. In fact, physical exercise doesn’t require much time, money or a special gymnasium. People can make use of any time and any place at their convenience to take part in sports. Walking quickly, cycling, climbing the stairs and dancing are all helpful methods to enhance one’s health.The benefits of adding a little more activity to your lift are priceless. “There is no need to be an athlete, however,” a local doctor said. People should walk for 30 minutes a day and take part in other physical activity three to five times a week. He warns, however, that people in poor physical shape should start slowly, and build up over time.China has taken the need for more exercise to heart, with the government running several activities last Sunday, which was the designated World Health Day. Pamphlets and posters based on the theme“Move for Health” were distributed nationwide, encouraging people to develop a positive and healthy lifestyle.6.Rapid economic development has resulted in all the following except ____.A.an increasing number of taxi passengersB.the wide use of labor-saving devicesC.an increasingly fast pace of lifeD.people’s awareness of the importance of exercise7.Some people are getting overweight because ____.A.they are too busy to have any time for exerciseB.they are ignorant of the benefits of exerciseC.they are too weak to participate in physical activityD.they are short of money to pay for different exercises8.According to the passage, who need regular daily exercise most?A.People taking taxis to work.B.Urban adults with full-time jobs.C.Elderly people suffering from high blood pressure.D.Youngsters dreaming of becoming professional athletes.9.What is the main idea of the last paragraph but one?A.Many people are still unable to afford the cost of physical exercises.B.Nobody should take part in physical activity in order to be an athlete.C.Moderate physical exercise is usually enough for ordinary people.D.Old or sick people should only take part in physical exercises of theslowest type.10.By referring to rapid economic development as “a boon” at the beginning ofthe passage, the author means that ____.A.it has benefited the general public greatlyB.it has done harm to people’s health nationwideC.it is going faster than anyone could have imaginedD.it has helped to establish a positive and health lifestyle of the publicPassage Three:Every human being, no matter what he is doing, gives off body heat. The usual problem is how to dispose of it. But the designers of the Johnstown campus of the University of Pittsburgh set themselves the opposite problem – how to collect body heat. They have designed a collection system which utilizes not only body heat, but the heat given off by such objects as light bulbs and refrigerators as well. The system works so well that no conventional fuel is needed to make the campus’s six buildings comfortable.Some parts of most modern buildings – theaters and offices as well as classrooms – are more than amply heated by people and lights and sometimes must be air-conditioned even in winter. The technique of saving heat and redistributing it is called “heat recovery”. A few modern buildings recover heat, but the University’s system is the first to recover heat from some buildings andreuse it in others.Along the way, Pitt has learned a great deal about some of its heat producers. The harder a student studies, the more heat his body gives off. Male students emit more heat than female students, and the larger a student, the more heat he produces. It is tempting to conclude that the hottest prospect for the Johnstown campus would be a hard-working, overweight male genius.11.Until recently, body heat has caused problems because it_____.A. was difficult to collectB. came in variety of formsC. was difficult to get rid of itD. tended to be absorbed by physical objects12.Which of the following is true of the heating system of the Johnstowncampus?A. The heat is supplied by human bodiesB. The heat is supplied by both human bodies and otherheat-emitting objectsC. The heat is supplied by both human bodies and conventional fuelD. The heat is supplied by human bodies, other heat-emitting objects, and conventional fuel13.At the Johnstown campus, how many of the buildings are heated entirely bythe heat collection system?A. NoneB. TwoC. FourD. Six14.According to the passage, which of the following would produce theLEAST amount of heat?A. A fat female who studies hardB. A thin female who does not studyC. A fat male who does not studyD. A thin male who studies hard15.In the last paragraph, the “hottest prospect” means the____.A. most intelligent studentB. most desirable studentC. most diligent studentD. most learned studentPassage Four：The resources of the library can be helpful even when we are doing something very informal, such as trying to devise a better way to measure attitudes toward music or looking for a better way to teach mathematics. The library can be equally helpful when we are doing something very formal, such as writing a dissertation (学位论文) or preparing an article for publication in a professional journal. In either case, our goal should be to use the library as a useful tool to help us understand and solve our problem.The following sections of this chapter will describe specific resources available in many libraries. In some cases you may already be aware of a resource and may use it frequently and successfully. In other cases you may be completely unfamiliar with a resource. Your goal should be to become aware of what is available and to know how to use each of these resources to help you solve the problem they are designed to solve.When educators have a piece of information that they want to share with their colleagues, they often make this information available in professional journals or at professional meetings. It would often be useful to have access to such information, and this chapter will describe the special services that enable us to locate such information.16.The library resources can be helpful when we ______.A. want to find a better way to measure attitudes toward musicB. are preparing a paper for a professional journalC. are writing a dissertationD. All of the above17.Readers’ familiarity with different resources ______.A. is more or less the sameB. varies slightlyC. differs greatlyD. should not be different18.The author believes that ______.A. library resources should be used frequently and completelyB. library resources cannot be made good use of if they are not available tousC. one is supposed to be aware of the library resources that are usually notavailableD. one is supposed to have good knowledge and make good use of libraryresources19.When educators wish to share some information with their colleagues, theyoften ______.A. publish it in a professional journalB. organize professional meetingsC. get access to it in the libraryD. make use of some library services20.The chapter in question mainly ______.A. deals with the ways of dissertation writingB. presents information on publishing papers in professional journalsC. introduces some library servicesD. describes some professional meetingsPart III.

When you're able to score tickets to an incredible concert in an incredible place, you won't forget the experience. Here are some of the coolest music venues from around the world. If you haven't been to any of these, you've got some traveling to do.Red Rocks, Morrison, the United StatesRed Rocks might be the most beautiful and famous venue in the United States. At 6,450 feet above sea level, Red Rocks is a geologically formed natural stage. Its massive sandstone provides a perfect stage for jam bands. If you're into the blues and jazz, you'll have no trouble finding something in line with your interests.Meet Factory, Prague, Czech RepublicSmallest venues on this list, Meet Factory is an art gallery, theater, and music venue. The venue only accommodates 1,000 people, so you won't see any huge names come through. Still, it's a great place to see up-and-coming local acts, and if you've got an eye for contemporary art, you'll love your time here.Arena of NÎmes, NÎmes, FranceOriginally built around A. D. 70, the Arena of Nimes presents concertgoers with an interesting question: Should they enjoy the music, or marvel at the architecture? The Arena is, after all, one of the world's best-preserved Roman theaters. Many major touring acts plan stops at the Arena of Nimes, especially during the venue's annual festival.Sydney Opera House, Sydney, AustraliaThe Sydney Opera House is one of the world's most famous performing venues. I's also one of the most distinctive buildings in Sydney, thanks to the breathtaking design by Danish architect Utzon. It hosts about 40 events per week, so whether you're into jazz, rock, classical music, or opera, you'll find something to watch.1.Where can you enjoy music in natural beauty?A.At Red Rocks.B.At Meet Factory.C.At Arena of Nimes.D.At Sydney Opera House.2.What is special about Meet Factory?A.It enjoys breathtaking scenery.B.It hosts both musical and artistic events.C.It is the largest venue of all.D.It is famous for contemporary music.3.What do the listed music venues have in common?A.They have a long history.B.They are built near the sea.C.They accommodate thousands of people.D.They are beautiful tourist attractions.BIf our kids don’t fall, they don’t learn to get up. I still remember the day in high school that my mom forgot to pick me up from school. I’m the oldest of four children, and no doubt she’d had a long day with the other kids and it’d slipped her mind. After waiting at school for an hour, I walked the three miles home, and when I got to my house, I shut our front door with anger, stormed into the kitchen and screamed in my mom’s face that she’d forgotten me.Later that night, my dad told me I no longer had a ride to school the next day. I figured my mom would still take me, but when the morning came, she refused. It was midterm, and as a straight-A student ready to start college applications, being late wasn’t an option (选择). In my mind, missing these tests would have been the end of my academic career. I begged my mom. I told her she was ruining my future and everything I’d worked for. But sheheld her ground, and that day, I walked to school. And I missed my tests.My mom didn’t rescue me from failure. She let me suffer from it. She let me figure it out. She let me learn. Now, as a mom myself, I’ve realized that I want my kids to experience failure because failure is how we grow, learn and think outside of ourselves. It’s how we self-educate to learn what’s right and respectable, and what’s not. It’s how we become responsible and enthusiastic. Falling down makes us better because we learn how to get up.4. What is one of the reasons that the author got angry that day?A. She was tired.B. She failed in a test.C. She was late for school.D. She had to walk home by herself.5. How does the author feel about her childhood experience?A. Terrible.B. Meaningful.C. Embarrassing.D. Colorful.6. The underlined phrase “held her ground” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.A. gave in to meB. said yes to meC. stayed in the placeD. kept to her idea7. What is the best title for the text?A. My Way of GrowingB. The Value of FailureC. My Love for MotherD. Failure in My LifeCYou’ve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans — between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference? Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, forcing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic products.At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called “Strawpocalypse,” a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source（来源）of plastic pollution, but they’ve recently come under fire because most people don’t need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that’s part ofVon Wong’s artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.In a piece from 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate（说明）a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload’s worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled “Truckload of Plastic,” Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they’d been dumped（倾倒）from a truck all atonce.Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to reduce their plastic footprint.8. What are Von Wong’s artworks intended for?A. Beautifying the city he lives in.B. Introducing eco-friendly products.C. Drawing public attention to plastic waste.D. Reducing garbage on the beach.9. Why does the author discuss plastic straws in paragraph 3?A. To show the difficulty of their recycling.B. To explain why they are useful.C. To voice his views on modern art.D. To find a substitute for them.10. What effect would “Truckload of Plastic” have on viewers?A. Calming.B. Disturbing.C. Refreshing.D. Challenging.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Artists’ Opinions on Plastic SafetyB. Media Interest in Contemporary ArtC. Responsibility Demanded of Big CompaniesD. Ocean Plastics Transformed into SculpturesDSusan Scott, 71, is glad that she didn't think about her age when she took up bodybuilding at the age of 59.“I reinvent myself every ten years. I started my 60s as a bodybuilderand now I'm beginning my 70s as a writer,” she said. “People usually limit themselves by age, and it's discouraging. With age, I remain young at heart.”Dr Susan started bodybuilding at an age when most are considering retirement though she was an athlete from an early age. As a child in Venezuela, she took to gymnastics and later graduated with a physical education degree.Then she obtained a master's degree in education and later a Ph. D. in Adult Personal Development. She taught at Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, for 16 years, while raising two daughters.“I started bodybuilding when I met Steve Pfiester, a gym guy who practiced yoga. He invited me to his gym and offered to train me. I started in January and in June he took me to my first competition in Bradenton, Florida,” she recalled.Dr Susan's photos show that she has devoted long hours to taking care of her body. But she also develops her mind and spirit. On any given day, she gets up at 3 am to read books. At 4:30 am she's out to walk three miles and run another three. This is followed by yoga and a swim at the beach while the sun rises. After writing her journal and working on her book between 8 and 10 am, she hits the gym for at least two hours. “I don't lose track of time,” she said.Dr Susan's war on ageism has rubbed off on her two daughters, both in their early thirties. “They both take care of their bodies and minds. If you give them a good foundation as a parent, you know that they will always come back to their roots. I tried to remind myself of that during their difficult teen years.”12. What's Dr Susan's opinion on age?A. Age cannot be hidden.B. Age is a state of mind.C. Every age has its pains and sorrows.D. Old age is not suitable for further study.13. What made Dr Susan start bodybuilding?A. The need of her job.B. Her youthful dream.C. Steve Pfiester's influence.D. Her daughters' encouragement.14. Which of the following best describes Dr Susan's morning schedule?A. Dull.B. Tight.C. Flexible.D. Controversial.15. What can be inferred about Dr Susan from the last paragraph?A. She will set up a fitness foundation.B. She will soon return to retirement.C. She often thinks of her teenage years.D. She sets an example to her daughters.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
