大学英语(1)期末考试复习资料模拟题大学英语(1)期末考试复习资料模拟题一、阅读:( 1 )There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.1. Our long-term goals mean a lot ___B____.A. if we cannot reach solid short-term goalsB. if we complete the short-term goalsC. if we have dreams of the futureD. if we put forward some plans2. New short-term goals are built upon___D___.A. a daily basisB. your achievement in a weekC. current activitiesD. the goals that have been completed3. When we complete each step of our goals, ____C____.A. we will win final successB. we are overwhelmedC. we will build up our confidence to achieve successD. we should have strong desire for setting new goals4. What is the main idea of this passage? ___C____A. Life is a dynamic thing.B. We should set up long-term goals.C. Different kinds of goals in life.D. The limitation of long-term goals.5. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage? ___C____A. The long-term goals cannot amount to very much without achieving short-term goals.B. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals.C. Life is a static thing, thus never allowing a long-term goal to limit us.D. We should often add new short-term goals to what have been completed.( 2 )The angry woman stood by the station. “ The railway owesme £12,”she said to Harry Jenks, the booking clerk (订票员). “My ticket was for May 22nd, and there was no ship from Jersey that night. My daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me £12.”Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “ Come into the office, madam,” he said, “ I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd .”The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How ever had he made such a big mistake? Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look healthy,” he said to her. “ Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”“ Yes,” she answered. “ The beach was beautiful. And I can swim too!”“ That’s fine,” said Harry. “ My little girl can’t swim a bit yet. Of course, she’s only three-----”“ I’m four,” the child said proudly. “ I’ll soon be four and a half.”Harry turned to the mother. “ I re member your ticket, madam,” he said. “ But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”“ Er, well-----” The woman looked at the child. “ I mean-----she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.”“ A four year old child must have a ticket, madam. A child’s return to Jersey costs----let me see----£13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel bill, you will owe £1.50.The law is the law, but since we have made a mistake-----”The woman stood up, took the child’s hand and left the office.6.

Each passage is provided with some questions followed by 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. Decide on the one that best answers those questions.Passage 1“Learning a language is easy. Even a child can do it!”Most adults who are learning a second or a foreign language would disagree with this statement. For them, learning a language is a very difficult task. They need hundreds of hours of study and practice, and even this will not guarantee success for every adult language learner.Language learning is different from other kinds of learning. Some people who are very intelligent and successful in their fields find it difficult to succeed in language learning. Conversely, some people who are successful language learners find it difficult to succeed in other fields.Language teachers often offer advice to language learners: “Read as much as you can in the new language.” “Practice speaking the language every day.” “Live with people who speak the language.” “Don’t translate—try t o think in the new language.” “Learn as a child would learn; play with the language.”But what does a successful language learner do? Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher; they discover their own way to learn the language. Instead of waiting for the teacher to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions. When they guess wrong, they guess again. They try to learn from their mistakes.Successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language; they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things; they are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communications are difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language and the people who speak it. It is necessary for them to learn the language in order to communicate with these people and to learn from them. They find it easy to practice using the language regularly because they want to learn with it.What kind of language learner are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively, and purposefully. On the other hand, if your language learning has been less than successful, you might do well to try some of the techniques outlined above.51. A successful language learner must ___________.A.be very intelligentB.depend on a good book or teacherC.try always to speak correctlyD.try to learn the new language independently, actively, and purposefully52. Which of the following would most probably NOT be a piece of advice offered by a language teacher?A. Never guess the meaning of a word.B. Don’t translate—try to think in the new language.C. Find every chance to speak the language.E.Read as much as possible in the new language.53. The expression “ play with the language” in para.4 me ans to _________.A.learn the language to play with a childB.learn the language from a childC.learn the language in a more natural waye the language as a toy54. According to para.7, thinking in the language is more important than knowing the meaning of every word of the language, because .A.knowing the meaning of every word is useless.B.thinking in the language is easier than knowing the meaning of every word.C.knowing the meaning of every word requires more time.D.when thinking in the language, you are using the language in an active way.55. The word “techniques” in the last line of the text cannot be replaced by _________.A.methodsB. skillsC. toolsD. reasonsPassage 2The family is important to people all over the world although the structure of the family is quite different from one country to another. In the United States, as in many other countries in the world, the family is changing. A generation or two ago, the traditional family, in which the father was boss, was customary. Now, the modern family, in which both the father and the mother are equal partners, is more common. Although there are several similarities between the traditional family and the modern family, there also exist some very important differences.The traditional family of yesterday and the modern family of today have several similarities. The traditional family was a nuclear family, and the modern family is, too. The role of the father in the traditional family was to provide for his family. Similarly, the father in the modern family is expected to do so, also. The mother in the traditional family took care of the children’s physical and emotional needs just as the modern mother does.On the other hand, there are some great differences between the traditional family and the modern family. The first important difference is in the man’s role. The traditional husband was the head of household, because he was the only one who worked outside the home. If the wife worked for pay, then the husband was not considered to be a good provider. In many families today, both husband and wife work for pay. Therefore, they share the role of head of household. In addition, the traditional husband usually made the big decisions about spending money. However, the modern husband shares these decisions with his working wife. Also, the traditional husband did not help his wife with the housework or meal preparation. Dinner was ready when he came home. In contrast, the modern husband helps his working wife at home. He may do some of the household jobs, and it is not unusual for him to cook.The second difference is in the woman’s role. In the traditional family, the woman may have worked for pay during her first years of marriage. However, after she became pregnant, she would usually give up her job. Her primary role was to take care of her family and home. In contrast, in many families today, the modern woman works outside the home even after she has children. She’s doing two jobs instead of one, so she is busier than the traditional mother was. The traditional wifelearned to live within her husband’s income. On the other hand, the modern wife does not have to because the family has two incomes.The final difference is in the role of the children. In the traditional family, the children were taken care of by the mother because she did not work outside the home. However, today preschool children may go to a child care center or to a baby-sitter regularly because the mother works. The school-age children of a traditional family were more dependent. Their mother was there to help them to get ready for school and to make their breakfast. In contrast, modern children are more independent. They have to get up early in the morning and get ready for school. Their mother is busy getting ready for work, so they may even have to make their own breakfast.In conclusion, the American family of today is different from the family of fifty years ago. In the modern family, the roles of the father, mother, and children have changed as more and more women work outside the home. The next century may bring more important changes to the American family structure. It should be interesting to see.56.

In the modern family, the roles of the father, mother and children have changed as _________.A. the father works outside the homeB. the mother works outside the homeC. the preschool children go to a child care centerD. none of the aboveSection B:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some true-false questions. Decide whether each of them is true (T) or false (F).Passage 1Though marriage is practiced in almost all countries of the world, the customs are quitedifferent from one culture to another. It is interesting for me to compare the customs of marriage in the United States with those in my country.I’ve lived in the U.S. for four years now, but I’m still not comfortable with the customs here. In fact, what seems strange to me is that courting or dating is not always for the purpose of finding a husband or wife. Some people seem to do it as a hobby.Here in the United States, I have noticed that courting is begun by the young couple themselves, and they seem to have a lot of freedom to decide and do what they want. Both young men and women date a number of different people. They do it without the knowledge or help of their parents. In fact, I have known several friends who got married without even telling their parents or other family members.At the actual wedding ceremony, the father of the bride symbolically gives his daughter to the groom. It’s only a custom, I think, because the bride and groom already know each other quite well. The bride and groom stand together in front of the religious leader or government official to be married. The official reads from a short prepared speech and then asks both the man and woman if they are willing to be married to the other. If they both say “yes,” and nobody attending the wedding stands up to object, they are declared “man and wife”. It is interesting that the two families are asked if there are any objections right during the ceremony. Perhaps it is because the family members are not as involved in the wedding preparations as they are in Iran.Marriage is different in a number of ways in my country. In Iran, courting is more serious, and is performed strictly for the purpose of marriage. It is definitely not a part of the fun-filled years of growing up like it is here in America. It is the mother of the young man who initiates the process by visiting the home of a potential bride. She goes to inspect the girl, and discover the position and wealth of the girl’s family. If she is pleased, then she will return another day with her son. If her son is also pleased, then the two families get together to talk about the dowry, the wedding ceremony, who they will hire to perform the marriage, and other matters.The actual marriage ceremony is quite different, however, from the American wedding ceremonies I have seen. The bride, dressed in white, with a veil over her face, sits in a room alone. She sits on a special piece of silk which is surrounded on two sides by very long pieces of flat bread. Two mullahs stand outside the door to this room reading from the Koran. Twice the bride must remain silent to the questions of the mullahs. The groom’s mother then presents a gift of gold to show that her side of the family is serious. The bride then responds to the mullahs in much the same manner as do Americans when they say “I do.” The groom is allowed to go into the bride’s room while the mullahs take care of the official marriage papers.One more difference between the marriage customs of the United States and my country is that the bride does not immediately go to the home of her new husband. For several months, she continues to stay at her own home preparing her dowry and receiving instructions from her mother on how to be a good wife and mother. After a few months, the groom and his relatives come for the bride and take her to his home along with the dowry.Though I can certainly see the advantages of the freedom that is given to American youths to choose whom they will marry and when, I think I still prefer the customs of my home country. I suppose that’s because there is not so much guessing and uncertainty.61. Marriage as a social form of male and female relationship exists in all countries of the world,but customs of marriage vary from culture to culture.62. As a custom in the U.S., it is the parents who decide when their daughter can have a boyfriendand who he should be.63. Before the wedding ceremony takes place, the American couple already know each other quite well.64. In Iran, courting is a very serious matter. It is done only for the purpose of finding a husband orwife.65. In Iran, as soon as the wedding ceremony is complete, the bride will go to her husband’s home.Passage 2Every four years, there is the presidential election. In the United States, there are two major political parties, Democratic and Republican. The summer before the election, each of the major political parties holds a presidential-nominating convention. It is a large meeting within a political party made up of party delegates chosen from the states, the District of Columbia and the territories. The convention meets every presidential-election year and picks the party’s presidential and vice-presidential nominees. Once the presidential candidate is selected, his running-mate, the vice-presidential candidate, must be chosen.At the convention, a party platform is adopted. It is a very general statement on the party’s goals and position on national and international issues. A majority of the convention delegates must vote for the various planks of the platform in order for them to be accepted.Actual campaigning for the election traditionally begins on the first Monday in September. From that time until election day, voters are bombarded from all sides by radio, television, newspapers, and personal communications with political content.On the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, voters cast their ballots for President and Vice-President. Some members of Congress and many state and local officials are also selected at this time.The President and Vice-President are not actually chosen by popular votes but by electoral votes. That is, the people vote for electors, who are, as a group, known as the Electoral College. This group selects the President and Vice-President. When a voter casts his vote for a presidential candidate, he is really choosing electors. Each elector is expected to vote for the candidate who wins the majority of popular votes in his state. The number of electors allotted to each state is equal to the total number of representatives and senators who represent that state in Congress. Thus, states with large populations have more electoral votes. The candidate who receives a majority of the votes in a particular state receives all of that state’s electoral votes.To be elected, candidates for President and Vice-President must receive a majority of the votes in the Electoral College. If no candidate receives a majority, the House of Representatives chooses the President from the top three candidates and the Senate chooses the Vice-president from the top two candidates having the highest number of electoral votes.As soon as the votes in the November elections are counted in all the states, or in most of them, it becomes known who is going to be the U. S. President in the next four years. There is no need to wait for the voting by the electors. However, as a matter of formality, the electors usually meet in their state capital in early January of the following year to “elect” a President and a Vic e-President.The newly elected President is inaugurated in January during a nationally-televised ceremony. He then moves into the White House and appoints members of his Cabinet.66. In the United States, there are two minor political parties, Democratic and Republican.67. Once the presidential candidate is selected, his running-mate, the vice-presidential candidate, must be chosen.68. On the first Tuesday after the last Monday in November, voters cast their ballots for President and Vice-President.69. The number of electors allotted to each state is the same as the total number of representatives and senators who represent that state in Congress.70. The newly elected President is inaugurated on January 1 during a nationally-televised ceremony.IV.

Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.Passage oneRites of PassageSuddenly there come times when everything is different —you’re somehowanother personSeveral years ago my parents, my wife, my son, and I ate at one of those restaurants where the menu is written on a blackboard. After a wonderful dinner, the waiter set the bill in the middle of the table. That’s when it happened: my father did not reach for the bill.Conversation continued. Finally it dawned on me. I was supposed to pick up the bill! After hundreds of restaurant meal with my parents, after a lifetime of thinking of my father as the one who had the money, it had all changed. I reached for the check, and my view of myself was suddenly altered. I was an adult.Some people mark off their lives in years; I measure mine in small events —in rites of passage. I did not become a young man at a particular age, like 13, but rather when a kid walked into the store where I worked and called me “mister”. He repeated it several times, looking straight at me. The realization hit like a punch: Me! I was suddenly a mister.There have been other milestones. The cops of my youth always seemed big, even huge, and of course they were older than I was. Then one day they were suddenly neither. In fact, some were kids —short kids at that. The day came when I suddenly realized that all the football player in the game I was watching were younger than I was. They were just big kids. With that milestone went the dream that someday, maybe, I too could be a football player. Without ever having reached the hill, I was over it.I never thought that I would fall asleep in front of the television set as my father did. Now it’s what I do best. I never thought that I would go to t he beach and notswim. Yet I spent all of August at the seaside and never once went into the ocean. I never thought that I would like opera, but now the sadness and combination of voice and orchestra appeal to me. I never thought that I would prefer to stay home evenings, but now I find myself passing up parties. I used to think that people who watched birds were strange, but this summer I found myself watching them, and maybe I’ll get a book on the subject. I long for a religious conviction that I never th ought I’d want, and in arguments with my son, I repeat what my father used to say to me. I still lose.One day I bought a house. One day —what a day! — I became a father, and not too long after that I picked up the bill for my own father. I thought then it was a rite of passage for me. But one day, when I was a little older, I realized it was one for him too. Another milestone.1.When the young man picked up the bill and paid it, ____.A)he felt that his father should have paid itB)he was glad to have the chance pay the bill for onceC)he realized he was now an adultD)his father said he would pay it as he usually did so2.The man marked off his life not by the passing years but by _____.A)comparing himself with other peopleB)certain meaningful eventsC)counting the milestones of his lifeD)recalling events of the past3.When the writer was young, _____.A) he looked forward to the day when he would be like his fatherB)it seemed to him that the policeman were big and tallC)he felt bird watching was an interesting hobbyD)he couldn’t understand why his father fell asleep while watching TV4.Why didn’t the writer go swimming while he was at the beach in August?A)Because he liked going to the opera.B)Because he preferred to watch birds.C)Because he was not young anymore.D)Because he did not know how to swim.5.When the writer argued with his son, ____.A)he used the same reasons as his father didB)he always succeeded in winning the argumentsC)he sometimes managed to persuade his son to agree with himD)he seldom succeeded in winningPassage twoThe verb procrastinate comes from the Latin procrastinate, which means to postpone until tomorrow. To procrastinate, then, is to delay doing something until some future time, and a procrastinator is someone who is always putting off what he or she should be doing right now.Those of us who have a tendency toward procrastination know that it is a terrible habit. Every day we tell ourselves that we must start doing things immediately, andeach day we postpone our work, are late for deadlines, and put off keeping our promises to other people. Because we are always in the process of procrastinating, we are also always trying to catch up. We are always doing yesterday's jobs today, and tomorrow we will be doing today's unfinished work.Maybe the way to overcome procrastination is to change our habits gradually. We can start with a daily schedule of the things we want or need to accomplish. But let's be reasonable. We shouldn't crowd the list with too many tasks, and we should be realistic about what we can do. Especially in the beginning we should be lenient(宽大的, 仁慈的) with ourselves. After all, if we get discouraged at the start, we will go right back to our old habits.Finally, if we begin to follow our own schedule for each day, we will stop postponing the chores that face us. Life will become far less complicated and each day will be easier to face. We will undoubtedly feel better about ourselves, too, because we will know that we can overcome our weaknesses and improve ourselves.1. The first paragraph tells us _____ of the word procrastinate.A) the originB) the meaningC) the historyD) both A and B2. A procrastinator is a person who always postpones ___work.A) importantB) unimportantC) important or unimportantD) uninteresting3. The first step suggested by the author to change the habit of procrastinating is ___.A) not to fill our plans with too many tasksB) to make a plan for everyday activitiesC) to list as many tasks as possibleD) not to be reasonable with our plan4. Procrastinators do not live a happy life, because___.A) life is complicated and uneasy for them to faceB) they can't choose what to doC) things often become more difficult the next dayD) they will lose interest in doing things5. The author of the passage tries to tell us ___.A) that to be a procrastinator is not easyB) to be procrastinatorsC) that to be a procrastinator is bad for oneselfD) that being a procrastinator is good for othersPassage threeA good reader is one who can read beyond the lines, seeing ideas implied through the words, and one who can bridge the gap between the obvious and the suggested, thus obtaining much more information. Let's look at the following sentence:JOHN HENDERSON WAS DRIVING HOME LATE LAST NIGHT FROM AN EXHAUSTING BUSINESS TRIP.As you might have realized, this is the opening sentence of a story. It tells the reader whom the story is about -- John Henderson, and when the event takes place -- late one night, if we read carefully and thoughtfully we can also infer from this sentence that1. John Henderson may be a businessman because he has just finished a "business trip"2. John Henderson must be very tired because the trip is "exhausting"3. John Henderson must be very eager to get home because he is driving "late" at night right after this exhausting trip.Making inferences while reading will always help us achieve a better comprehension. But we should keep in mind that inferences must be made with care and supported by evidence. In order to make reasonable inferences we should1. read and think beyond the primed words;2. analyze the information given in the text;3. determine the author's reason for his choice of words.1. According to the author, a good reader___.A) can read between the linesB) should have a large vocabularyC) knows enough grammar rulesD) must have a good knowledge of the author2. From the quoted sentence, you know John Henderson was most likely___.A) a sellerB) a man on businessC) a driverD) a traveler3. From the quoted sentence, you know John Henderson had a ___.A) tired tripB) bored tripC) boring tripD) tiring trip4. When the author asks us to make inferences while reading, he intends to say___.A) make guessesB) have imaginationsC) do translationsD) reach conclusions5. The best topic of the passage is ____.A) Reading SkillsB) Try to Be a Good ReaderC) Reading Is ImportantD) Reading Is ThinkingPassage fourMan's first real invention, and one of the most important inventions in history, was the wheel. All transportation and every machine in the world depend on it.(The wheel is the simplest yet perhaps the most remarkable of all inventions, because there are no wheels in nature — no living thing was ever created with wheels.) How, then, did man come to invent the wheel?Perhaps some early hunters found that they could roll the dead body of a heavy animal through the forest on logs more easily than they could carry it. However, the logs themselves weighed a lot.It must have taken a great prehistoric thinker to imagine two thin slices of log connected at their centers by a strong stick. This would roll along just as the logs did yet be much lighter and easier to handle. Thus the wheel and axle came into being, and with them the first carts.1. The wheel is important because _______.A. it was man's first real inventionB. all transportation depends on itC. every machine depends on itD. both B and C2. The wheel is described as _______.A. simpleB. complicatedC. strangeD. light3. It was remarkable of man to invent the wheel because ______.A. it led to many other inventionsB. man had no use for it thenC. there were no wheels in natureD. it was very complicated4. This passage says that the first wheel might have been a _______.A. round piece of stoneB. heavy logC. piece of metalD. slice of log5. The idea of making wheels might have come from ______.A. chasing an animalB. watching a rolling trunkC. watching running animalsD. rolling the dead body of an animal on logsPart III ClozeHave you 1)_____ asked yourself why children go to school? You will probably say that they go 2)_____ their own language and other languages, arithmetic, history, science and 3)_____ subjects.

My car had broken down outside the town and I wanted to get in touch with the Automobile Association. Low grey clouds were drifting across the sky and there was a cold damp wind blowing off the sea. It had rained in the night and water was dripping from the bare trees that lined the street. I was glad that I was wearing a thick coat.There was no sign of a call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour I could ask. I had thought I might find a shop selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his job, but the town was completely dead.Then suddenly I found what I was looking for. There was a small post office, and it was almost hidden from sight in a dark narrow street next to which was the town's only public call box, which badly needed a coat of paint. I hurried forward but stopped in astonishment when I saw through the dirty glass that there was a man inside. He was very fat, and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat and rubber boots. I could not see his face—he was bending forward over the phone with his back pressed against the glass and didn't even raise his head at the sound of my coming nearer and nearer. With care and surprise, I remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait my turn. It was when I threw the dead match on the ground that I noticed something bright red trickling from under the call box door.66. The author was walking through the small seaside town . BA. late morningB. early morningC. before midnightD. late evening67. The weather of the day was , when the story happened. AA. windy, cold and cloudyB. stormy, damp and clearC. rainy, cold and clearD. rainy, windy and cold68. Why was the author astonished when he saw that there was a man in the call box? BA. Because the man inside was still wearing a raincoat.B. Because he didn't expect it to be taken up.C. Because the man had his back against the glass.D. Because the man did not seem to be moving.69. The author waited, standing a few feet away from the box because . DA. it was not safe to be close to the boxB. the man didn't notice his comingC. he wanted to have a cigarette to calm himself downD. it was bad manners to overhear others' phone calls70. What do you suppose happened to the man in the call box? BA. He was asleep.B. He had most probably been killed.C. He was lost in his important phone call.D. He was too fat to move around.Passage TwoI had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric ( 古怪的) farmer. I had never met him before although I had often heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I hadn't the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go.It had been snowing heavily that day and I didn't know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for me. It seemed Milly had died. “She meant more to me than anyone... even my own wife!” he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal ( 丑闻). I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn. I wouldn't leave her out in the cold!” he said.Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door. He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground. “She was such a good cow! I wouldn't let anyone but a doctor touch her!” he said, and burst into tears again.71. The underlined phrase “make out” in the first paragraph means. BA. expectB. understandC. see clearlyD. hear clearly72. Before he arrived at the farmer's house, the writer expected to see Milly lying . CA. on the ground of a barnB. on the floor of a roomC. in bed in a roomD. in bed in a barn73. What do we know about Milly from the story? AA. She had met with an accident.B.

CA. farmerB. policemanC. country doctorD. newspaper reporterPassage ThreeVitamins are a group of substances found in food. The body needs them for life and health. So naturally, many people are concerned with the question: Am I getting enough vitamins, and am I getting the right kind?Even though very small amounts of each vitamin are enough for the needs of the body, that many people have not enough vitamins has some basis. And this has something to do with their diet — the food they take in. A person eating a good variety of foods gets all the vitamins now known to be needed with the possible exception of vitamin D.The problem is that there are many people who don't choose foods wisely, don't get enough variety, and don't eat the basic foods they need to get their vitamins. So the answer to this question is: No extra vitamins are needed, if you eat proper food. In fact, many of the vitamins can not bestored in the body, so when extra vitamins are taken in, the body simply gets rid of them. It is even harmful to put too much of certain vitamins into the body. This has been found to be true of vitamin A and D, when large amounts are taken in.What foods supply what vitamins? Here is a general idea. Vitamin A, for the health of the eyes, skin, teeth, and bones, is found in green vegetables, fruits, eggs, liver and butter. Vitamin B1 which helps the nervous and digestive systems and prevents certain diseases, is found in cereals, pork and liver. Vitamin B2 is found in milk, eggs, green vegetables and meats. Vitamin C, which helps bones and teeth, is found in tomatoes, certain fruits and vegetables. These are only a few of the most important vitamins the body needs.76. Our body needs for life and health. AA. small amounts of each vitaminB. extra vitaminsC. all vitamins except vitamin DD. large amounts of certain vitamins77. Vitamin A is needed by and can be found in . CA. bones, porkB. nervous system, milkC. eyes, green vegetablesD. teeth, meats78. Vitamin B1 is very important to . AA. the digestive systemB. bonesC. liverD. skin79. What will be the result if you take more vitamins than you really need? DA. They will do great harm to our body.B. We get all the vitamins needed.C. Our body will function more properly.D. Our body simply gets rid of them.80. The passage has probably been taken from . BA. a sports magazineB. a journal of medical scienceC. an aged magazineD. a youth journalPassage FourIdeal conditions for flying a kite are a large open space like a field or a beach, and a steady wind, blowing from one direction, without any sudden gusts. Avoid spots such as clearings or river banks, where the wind is likely to change suddenly. Small kites will be much easier to launch in a gentle wind, and may well tear if the wind is too strong. Big kites on the other hand, will only take off in a reasonably strong wind. Stand with your back to the wind and unwind several meters of line, holding the kite at arm's length and pulling on the line gently. With a larger kite, ask a friend to help. He should stand a little way off, the kite held out in front of him, and let go when you give the signal. A kite should never be thrown into the air, but simply released when the wind is strongenough to lift it.Be very careful how you handle your kite and try to avoid any sudden movement once it is in the air. If a particularly violent gust of wind causes it to lose height, unwind a little of the line. Never pull it along on the ground once it has come down, or you will tear it.If you want to bring the kite down in a hurry, make the line fast or give it to someone to hold, put your arm over the line and run towards the kite. Always take a pair of scissors, some glue and two or three strips of crepe paper ( 绉纹纸) with you for on-the-spot repairs.Never fly a kite near a railway line or a busy road. If the kite comes down suddenly in front of a car, it may cause an accident. Never fly a kite in stormy weather because it could act as a lightning conductor (with you as the earth) !81. Where do people often fly kites? CA. In a large open field with sudden gusts.B. In a large open area with a strong wind.C. In a large open space with a steady wind blowing from one direction.D. At a beach with a gentle wind.82. The passage is mainly about . DA. the significance of flying a kiteB. the place selection and ways of flying a kiteC. some warnings to flying a kiteD. both B and C83. The underlined word "clearings" in the first paragraph probably means . AA. open spacesB. large playing-groundsC. places for clearing thingsD. areas which are very clear84. According to the passage, how should we bring a kite down in a hurry? BA. Pull the line gently and run towards the kite.B. Fix the line to a place, put the arm over the line and run towards the kite.C. Give the kite to someone to hold, put the arm over the kite and run towards the kite.D. Pull the kite and wind the line fast.85. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? BA. Most people like to fly kites.B. Flying a kite near a railway line is dangerous.C. It is very difficult to find an ideal space for flying a kite.D. There are many ways in which people fly their kites.Passage FiveAre you nervous? Maybe you should sit in a blue room. Are you always cold? Maybe you should sit in a room painted in a warm color such as soft orange. Are you often sad? Maybe you should sit in a yellow room. Some researchers believe that color has the power to affect our feelings. They believe that colors affect almost everyone in the same way. They tested the idea in different settings.One study was done in a workplace. The researchers painted heavy boxes white and lightboxes black. They wanted to see how color affected the workers' feelings. Which boxes do you think were more difficult to lift? The heavy white ones? No. The black boxes were more difficult. The white boxes were heavier but they looked light. The researchers think that this is because light colors seem light.Another study was done at a hospital with brown and dark green walls. Painters repainted the hospital walls in bright colors—bright orange on the first floor, bright pink on the second, bright green on the third. Guess what happened? The patients changed. They visited each other and talked more. The workers also changed and were happier about their work.Another study was done at a school. Researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton , Canada , studied children with behavior problems in their classroom. When the walls were brown and yellow, the children's heart rates went up and they were overactive. When the walls were light and dark blue, the children's heart rates were slower and the children were much calmer.If this is true, people might start to think carefully about the colors around them—not just in houses, but also in offices, in schools, in hospitals, in gyms, in prisons, in museums, and in restaurants!86. What is the main idea of this article? DA. Children are calmer in light blue rooms.B. If you are sad, sit in a yellow room.C. A heavy box seems light if it has a light color.D. Colors affect people's feelings.87. Which of the following places is NOT mentioned in the examples to show how colors affect people's feelings? CA. Hospital.B. Workplace.C. Restaurant.D. School.88. Colors such as red, yellow, and soft orange make people feel . BA. coldB. warmC. sadD. tired89. Blue makes people feel . BA. warmB. calmC. nervousD. active90. A dark colored box looks than a light colored box. BA. lighterB. heavierC. softerD. bigger四.作文Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic "Health and Sports". You should write no less than 80 words.。

For each questions there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1College is a new and different experience for me. I'm away from home, so I have many things to adjust to, e.g. being on my own, talking with friendly people. These are some of the things I like about college.First of all, living at college gives me a sense of responsibility, of being on my own. My parents aren't around to say, "No, you'renot going out tonight." or "Did you finish your homework?" Everything I do has to be my decision, and that makes me responsible for my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I could open an account. And when I got to the bank, I had to decide whether to have a current or savings account and whether or not to get a credit card. Decisions! Decisions!Friendly people, that's another thing I like about college. On my first day I came to Marymount University here in Virginia from New York, I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in. We did not know the building we were supposed to go to, but the guard was very nice. With a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I knew I had to go through some glass doors, but my mother and I didn't know which ones. Some students saw me and asked, "Are you a new student?" When they found out I was looking for New Gerard, one said: "Oh, just follow us; that's where we're going." Even now I feel comfortable in the dorm because there are friendly people around to talk with.I do like a lot of things about college, but that doesn't mean I don't think about things at home. Although I like college, I can still get homesick: New York is a very good place, too!31.The text is perhaps written by ____a____.A.a new studentB. a new teacherC. a foreign reporterD.a foreign visitor32. What does "gives me a sense of responsibility" in the first sentence of Paragraph 2mean? It means ___d_____.A. I shall be responsible for my parentsB. I shall be responsible for my teacherC. I shall be responsible for the schoolD. I shall be responsible for myself33. From Paragraph 3 we know that ____d____.A. the writer knew Marymount University quite wellB. the writer was a student from VirginiaC. the writer came to Marymount University aloneD. the writer liked his/her dorm very much34. What is New Gerard?cA. It's a student's name.B. It's a teacher's nameC. It's a dorm's name.D. It's a school's name.35. Which of the following is NOT true?dA. People in Marymount University are friendly.B. The writer likes the new experience in the university.C. The writer drove to Marymount University on the first day.D. The writer is not homesick.Passage 2At the center of our solar system is a star called the Sun. It is a ball of very hot gases. Its diameter is more than 100 times as big as that of the Earth. It gives off powerful rays of light in the form of radiant energy. This energy travels to the Earth at a speed of approximately 300,000 kilometers per second. This means that sunlight takes 8.33 minutes to get to the Earth.The temperature on the surface of the Sun is about 5,520°C, and it is much hotter inside. Scientists now believe that the heat of the Sun comes from natural atomic energy. In this process,hydrogen is believed to be changed to helium (氦) with an enormous amount of energy given off. The mass (matter) is changed to energy. This energy is in the form of heat, light, and other forms of radiation.36. The author makes all of the following statements about the Sun EXCEPT that it___d___.A.is a starB.emits light raysC.is made up of gassesD.is more than 100 times heavier than the Earth37. It can be inferred from the passage that the temperature of the outer rim (缘) of theSun is ___b___.A.hotter than the Earth’s interiorB.cooler than the Sun’s interiorC.as hot as the Earth’s interiorD.as hot as the Sun’s interior38. The author implies that scientists at one time did not believe that atomic energywas ___a___.A.the source of the Sun’s heatB.contained in the Earth’s coreC.able to travel at the speed of lightD.less powerful than solar energy39. According to the passage, which of the following best describes the manner inwhich the Sun is thought to produce energy?dA.Helium heats hydrogen, which gives off light.B.Heat and light melt hydrogen, which produces helium.C.Light produces hydrogen and helium, which gives off energy.D.Hydrogen turns into helium, which gives off light and heat.40. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?dA.The Sun --- the Largest Star in the Sky.B.The Sun --- The Brightest Star in the Sky.C.The Sun --- Ball of Hot Gasses.D.The Sun --- Great Source of Energy.Passage 3In 1920, after some thirty-nine years of problems with disease, high costs, and politics, the Panama Canal was officially opened, finally linking the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans by allowing ships to pass through the fifty-mile canal zone instead of traveling some seven thousand miles around Cape Horn. It takes a ship approximately 8 hours to complete the trip through the canal and costs an average of fifteen thousand dollars, one-tenth of what it would cost an average ship to round the Horn. More than fifteen thousand ships pass through its locks (船闸) each year.The French initiated the project but sold their rights to the United States. The latter will control it until the end of the twentieth century when Panama takes over its duties.41. Who currently controls the Panama Canal?cA. FranceB. PanamaC. the United SatesD. the Canal Zone42. Which is NOT mentioned as one of the difficulties met during the building of thePanama Canal?cA.There were many dispute among politicians.B.There was not enough fund for the project.C.It took too much time to complete the canal.D.A lot of workers were taken ill.43. On the average, how much would it cost a ship to travel around Cape Horn?bA. $150.B. $150,000C. 15,000D. $1,50044. In what year was construction probably begun on the canal?aA. 1881B. 1939C. 1920D. 189945. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?dA.The canal brought about new diseases to the canal zone.B.Most of the workers came from France during the early stage of the project.C.Before the canal was constructed, ships traveling from the Pacific to theAtlantic had to pay a lot more money to Panama government.D.A different government will take control of the canal around 2000.Part IV Vocabulary and Structure (25 points)Section ADirections:In this section there are 15 incomplete sentences.

Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.And so there are many similarities between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. However, the fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor 61 that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage; for there are very important differences 62 the teacher’s work and the actor’s work. The actor has to speak words which he ahs learned 63 ; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part; 64 his movements and the way in which he uses his voice are usually fixed 65 . What he has to do is to make all these carefully learned words and actions seem natural on the stage.The good teacher works in 66 different way. His audience takes an active part in his play, they ask and answer questions, they 67 orders, and if they do not understand something, they say so. The teacher therefore has to suit his act 68 the need of his audience which is his class. He cannot keep his part in mind, but must 69 it as he goes along.I have known many teachers who were fine actors in class but were unable to play a part in a stage-play because their brains would not keep discipline; they could not keep strictly to 70 .c61.

One day while walking along the bank of a lake, the girl happened to see 20 eggs laid by a wild goose(鹅). After some time the girl realized the mother would not return to her eggs and she decided to take them home. There she carefully placed the eggs in the heat of a lamp. Several days later the eggs broke and the baby geese came into the world.Geese are known to take the first living thing they see as their mother. Thus, to these young geese, the girl was their mother.As they grew, the girl was able to lead her birds to run across the grass, but she could not teach them to fly. The girl became increasingly worried about this, both when awake and in her dreams. Later, she had an idea. She would pilot a plane to guide them in flight. She asked her father for a plane and he assembled a small aircraft for her.Caring about her safety, the father decided to pilot the plane himself. However, the birds didn’t recognize or follow him, and instead slept in the grass.One day, the girl climbed into the plane, started it and soon left the ground. Seeing theirmother take to the air, the birds eagerly flapped their wings and set out. She flew the plane freely in the sky, her young birds following.1. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A. The Daughter of a MechanicB. A Girl and Her FatherC. A Girl and Her GeeseD. How to Teach Birds to Fly1. Why did the girl decide to take the eggs home?A. Because she liked the eggs.B. Because she wanted to eat the eggs.C. Because her father asked her to do so.D. Because she knew that the mother goose will not come back.2.

He assembled a small plane.B. He piloted the plane himself.C. He taught the geese how to fly.D. Both A and B.4. How did the young geese learn to fly?A. By following the girl in the plane.B. By themselves.C. By following the girl’s father.D. By staying in the plane.Passage 2In recent years, advances in medical technology have made it possible for people to live longer than in the past. New medicines and machines are being developed every day to extend life. However, some people, including some doctors, are not in favor of these life-extending measures, and they argue that people should have the right to die when they want. They say that the quality of life is as important as life itself, and that people should not be forced to go on living when conditions of life have become unbearable. They say that people should be allowed to die with dignity (尊严) and to decide when they want to die. Others argue that life under any conditions is better than death and that the duty of doctors is always to extend life as long as possible. And so the battle goes on and on without a definite answer.1. The best title of this passage is “ ”A. The Right to LiveB. The Right to DieC. Doctor’s DutyD. Death of Life2. People can now live longer than in the past. It is because of .A. the development of medical technologyB. big hospitalsC. good medical workersD. both B and C3. According to the writer’s opinion, .A. death is better than lifeB. life is better than deathC. neither death nor life is goodD. none of the above4. The expression “life-extending measures” in this passage means .A. examinations of people’s healthB. machines doing exerciseC. ways to make people live longerD. the right of dying with dignity5. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Most of the medical workers join in the argument.B. The argument has ended in favor of the doctors.C. The argument hasn’t ended yet.D. The quality of life is as important as life itself, so people should be allowed to die under any conditions.Passage 3When companies do business overseas, they come in contact with people from different cultures. These individuals often speak a different language and have their own particular custom and manners. These differences can create problems. For example, in France, business meetings begin promptly at the designated time and everyone is expected to be there. Foreign business people who are tardy are often left outside to be kept waiting as a means of letting them know the importance of promptness. Unless one is aware of such expected behaviors he may end up insulting the people with whom he hopes to establish trade relations.A second traditional problem is that of monetary conversions. For example, if a transac tion is conducted with Russia, payment may be made in rubles. Of course, this currency is of little value to the American firm. It is, therefore, necessary to convert the foreign currency to American dollars. How much are these Russian rubies worth in terms of dollars? This conversion rate is determined by every market, where the currencies of countries are bought and sold. Thus there is an established rate, although it will often fluctuate from day to day. For example, the ruble may be worth 0.75on Monday and 0.72on Tuesday because of an announced wheat shortage in Russia. In addition, there is the dilemma associated with converting at 0.72. Some financial institutions may be unwilling to pay this price, feeling that the ruble will sink much lower over the next week. As aresult, conversion may finally come at 0.69. These "losses" must be accepted by the company as one of the costs of doing business overseas.A third unique problem is trade barriers. For one reason or another, all countries impose trade barriers on certain goods crossing their borders. Some trade barriers are directly related to exports. For example, the United States permits strategic military material to be shipped abroad only after government permission has been obtained. Most trade barriers, however, are designed to restrict imports. Two of the most common import barriers are quotas and tariffs.1. What is the relationship between culture and international trade?A. Cultures in different countries may help establish trade relations.B. Companies can do business overseas without paying attention to different cultures.C. Misunderstanding in international trade may result from different cultures.D. Different cultures can help people understand each other better.2. What is done toward business people who are late in France?A. They are often left outdoors waiting.B. They are often insulted.C. They often suffer from coldness.D. They often feel angry.3. According to the passage, conversion rates____________A. are determined by financial institutions.A. vary from day to day.B. are agreed upon by two trading countries.C. are always the same.4. What can we learn about trade barriers?A. Due to trade barriers, all goods can be shipped abroad from all countries.A. In US strategic military material can be exported freely.B. There are more import barriers than export barriers.C. There are no barriers at all.5. Which of the following are likely to be discussed in the next paragraph?A. Quotas and tariffs.A. Measures to break down trade barriers.B. Reasons for imposing trading barriers.D. Measures to set up more trade barriers.三、完型填空(每题1分,共10分)Passage 1 C D B D APassage 2 BADCCPassage 3 CABCAIt was Sunday and there was 1 school that day.“Look! John, it’s snowing 2 ,” said Jack.

Reading Comprehension. (2 point for each, altogether 30 points) Directions: There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1During the rest of sleep,the fatigue of the body disappears. The tired mind gathers new energy;the memory improves;And troubles and problems are seen in better perspective. Some adults require little sleep;Others need eight to ten hours in every twenty-four. Infant sleep sixteen to eighteen hours daily,the amount gradually going less as they grow older. Your students may need twelve hours;University students may need ten. A worker with a physical demanding job may also need ten,whereas an executive working under great pressure may manage on six to eight. Many famous people are reputed to have required little sleep. Napoleon Bonaparte,Thomas Edison,and Charles Darwin apparently averaged only four to six hours a night.Whatever your individual need,you can be sure that by the age of thirty you will have slept for a total of more than twelve years. By that age you will also have developed a sleep routine:favorite hour,a favorite bed,a favorite posture,and a formula you need to follow in order to rest comfortably.Investigators have tried to find out how long a person can go without sleep. Several people have reached more than 115 hours--nearly five days. Whatever the limit,it is absolute. Animals kept awake for from five to eight days have died of exhaustion. The limit for human beings is probably about a week.31. The writer implies that _________.[A] sleep is important for good mental and physical health[B] a light sleep is as restful as a deep sleep[C] memory is improved during sleep[D] sleep is relatively unimportant for human beings32. From the amount of sleep Napoleon,Edison,and Darwin required,we can conclude______________.[A] that they were famous[B] that they were executives[C] that they were intelligent[D] None of the above33. The amount of sleep required may ______________.[A] vary greatly from one individual to another[B] depend on an individual's age[C] be related to an individual's occupation[D] All of the above.34. If a person is not allowed to follow his before-slept routine,he will probably_______________.[A] not sleep well[B] never fall asleep[C] lose his memory[D] begin to daydream35. The longest time a human being can survive without sleep is probably_________.[A] five days[B] ten days[C] seven days[D] twelve daysPassage 2Atoms are all around us. They are the bricks of which everything is made. Many millions of atoms are contained in just one grain of salt,but despite their small size they are very important. The way an everyday object behaves depends on what kinds of atoms are in it and how they act.For instance,you know that most solid objects melt if they get hot enough. Why is this? It is the effect of the heat on the object's atoms. All atoms move constantly. When they are hot,they move faster.Usually the atoms in an object hold together and give the object its shape. But if the object grows hot,its atoms move so fast that they break the force that usually holds them together. They move out of their usual places so that the object loses its shape. Then we say that the object is melting.36. One grain of salt contains ______________ .[A] a few thousand atoms[B] many millions of atoms[C] several heated atoms[D] one million atoms37. The way an object behaves depends on the ______________.[A] kinds of atoms in it[B] number of atoms in it[C] way its atoms behave[D] both A and C38. Heating an object will affect_______________.[A] the movements of its atoms[B] the speed of its atoms[C] the shape of its atoms[D] both A and B39. An object holds its shape because its atoms _______________.[A] usually hold together[B] move very fast[C] are very hot[D] are not moving40. When its atoms leave their usual places,we say that an object is_____________________.[A] shrinking[B] changing places[C] expanding[D] meltingPassage 3Television has opened windows in everybody’s life. Young men will never again go to war as they did in 1914, Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle. And the result has been a general dislike of war, and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen.Television has also changed politics. The most distant areas can now follow state affairs, see and hear the politicians before an election. Better informed, people are more likely to vote, and so to make their opinion count.Unfortunately, television’s influence has been extremely harmful to the young. Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless. They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable. All e ducators agree that the “television generations” are more violent than their parents and grandparents.Also, the young are less patient. Used to TV shows, where everything is quick and interesting, they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn’t do funny thing s like the people on children’s programs. And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes. That’s the time it takes on the screen.41. In the past, many young people ______________.[A] knew the effects of war[B] went in for politics[C] liked to save the wounded in wars[D] were willing to be soldiers42. Now with TV people can _________.[A] discuss politics at an information center [B] show more interest in politics[C] make their own decisions on political affairs [D] express their opinions freely43. The author thinks that TV advertisements _________.[A] are not reliable on the whole [B] are useless to people[C] are a good guide to adults [D] are very harmful to the young44. Which is NOT true according to the passage?[A] People have become used to crimes now.[B] With a TV set some problems can be solved quickly.[C] People now like to read books with picture.[D] The adults are less violent than the young.45. From the passage, we can conclude that _________.[A] children should keep away from TV[B] TV programs should be improved[C] children’s books should have pictures[D] TV has a deep influence on the youngIV.

Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.Passage oneRites of PassageSuddenly there come times when everything is different —you’resomehow another personSeveral years ago my parents, my wife, my son, and I ate at one of those restaurants where the menu is written on a blackboard. After a wonderful dinner, the waiter set the bill in the middle of the table. That’s when it happened: my father did not reach for the bill.Conversation continued. Finally it dawned on me. I was supposed to pick up the bill! After hundreds of restaurant meal with my parents, after a lifetime of thinking of my father as the one who had the money, it had all changed. I reached for the check, and my view of myself was suddenly altered. I was an adult.Some people mark off their lives in years; I measure mine in small events —in rites of passage. I did not become a young man at a particular age, like 13, but rather when a kid walked into the store where I worked and called me “mister”. He repeated it several times, looking straight at me. The realization hit like a punch: Me! I was suddenly a mister.There have been other milestones. The cops of my youth always seemed big, even huge, and of course they were older than I was. Then one day they were suddenly neither. In fact, some were kids —short kids at that.The day came when I suddenly realized that all the football player in the game I was watching were younger than I was. They were just big kids. With that milestone went the dream that someday, maybe, I too could be a football player. Without ever having reached the hill, I was over it.I never thought that I would fall asleep in front of the television set as my father did. Now it’s what I do best. I never thought that I would go to the beach and not swim. Yet I spent all of August at the seaside and never once went into the ocean. I never thought that I would like opera, but now the sadness and combination of voice and orchestra appeal to me.I never thought that I would prefer to stay home evenings, but now I find myself passing up parties. I used to think that people who watched birds were strange, but this summer I found myself watching them, and maybe I’ll get a book on the subject. I long for a religious conviction that I never th ought I’d want, and in arguments with my son, I repeat what my father used to say to me. I still lose.One day I bought a house. One day —what a day! —I became a father, and not too long after that I picked up the bill for my own father. I thought then it was a rite of passage for me. But one day, when I was a little older, I realized it was one for him too. Another milestone.the young man picked up the bill and paid it, ____.A)he felt that his father should have paid itB)he was glad to have the chance pay the bill for onceC)he realized he was now an adultD)his father said he would pay it as he usually did soman marked off his life not by the passing years but by _____.A)comparing himself with other peopleB)certain meaningful eventsC)counting the milestones of his lifeD)recalling events of the pastthe writer was young, _____.A) he looked forward to the day when he would be like his fatherB)it seemed to him that the policeman were big and tallC)he felt bird watching was an interesting hobbyD)he couldn’t understand why his father fell asleep while watching TV didn’t the writer go swimming while he was at the beach in AugustA)Because he liked going to the opera.B)Because he preferred to watch birds.C)Because he was not young anymore.D)Because he did not know how to swim.the writer argued with his son, ____.A)he used the same reasons as his father didB)he always succeeded in winning the argumentsC)he sometimes managed to persuade his son to agree with himD)he seldom succeeded in winningPassage twoThe verb procrastinate comes from the Latin procrastinate, which means to postpone until tomorrow. To procrastinate, then, is to delay doing something until some future time, and a procrastinator is someone who is always putting off what he or she should be doing right now.Those of us who have a tendency toward procrastination know that it is a terrible habit. Every day we tell ourselves that we must start doing things immediately, and each day we postpone our work, are late for deadlines, and put off keeping our promises to other people. Because we are always in the process of procrastinating, we are also always trying to catch up. We are always doing yesterday's jobs today, and tomorrow we will be doing today's unfinished work.Maybe the way to overcome procrastination is to change our habits gradually. We can start with a daily schedule of the things we want or need to accomplish. But let's be reasonable. We shouldn't crowd the list with too many tasks, and we should be realistic about what we can do. Especially in the beginning we should be lenient(宽大的, 仁慈的) with ourselves. After all, if we get discouraged at the start, we will go right back to our old habits.Finally, if we begin to follow our own schedule for each day, we will stop postponing the chores that face us. Life will become far less complicated and each day will be easier to face. We will undoubtedly feel better about ourselves, too, because we will know that we can overcome our weaknesses and improve ourselves.1. The first paragraph tells us _____ of the word procrastinate.A) the originB) the meaningC) the historyD) both A and B2. A procrastinator is a person who always postpones ___work.A) importantB) unimportantC) important or unimportantD) uninteresting3. The first step suggested by the author to change the habit of procrastinating is ___.A) not to fill our plans with too many tasksB) to make a plan for everyday activitiesC) to list as many tasks as possibleD) not to be reasonable with our plan4. Procrastinators do not live a happy life, because___.A) life is complicated and uneasy for them to faceB) they can't choose what to doC) things often become more difficult the next dayD) they will lose interest in doing things5. The author of the passage tries to tell us ___.A) that to be a procrastinator is not easyB) to be procrastinatorsC) that to be a procrastinator is bad for oneselfD) that being a procrastinator is good for othersPassage threeA good reader is one who can read beyond the lines, seeing ideas implied through the words, and one who can bridge the gap between the obvious and the suggested, thus obtaining much more information. Let's look at the following sentence: JOHN HENDERSON WAS DRIVING HOME LATE LAST NIGHT FROM AN EXHAUSTING BUSINESS TRIP.As you might have realized, this is the opening sentence of a story. It tells the reader whom the story is about -- John Henderson, and when the event takes place -- late one night, if we read carefully and thoughtfully we can also infer from this sentence that1. John Henderson may be a businessman because he has just finished a "business trip"2. John Henderson must be very tired because the trip is "exhausting"3. John Henderson must be very eager to get home because he is driving "late" at night right after this exhausting trip.Making inferences while reading will always help us achieve a better comprehension. But we should keep in mind that inferences must be made with care and supported by evidence. In order to make reasonable inferences we should1. read and think beyond the primed words;2. analyze the information given in the text;3. determine the author's reason for his choice of words.1. According to the author, a good reader___.A) can read between the linesB) should have a large vocabularyC) knows enough grammar rulesD) must have a good knowledge of the author2. From the quoted sentence, you know John Henderson was most likely___.A) a sellerB) a man on businessC) a driverD) a traveler3. From the quoted sentence, you know John Henderson had a ___.A) tired tripB) bored tripC) boring tripD) tiring trip4. When the author asks us to make inferences while reading, he intends to say___.A) make guessesB) have imaginationsC) do translationsD) reach conclusions5. The best topic of the passage is ____.A) Reading SkillsB) Try to Be a Good ReaderC) Reading Is ImportantD) Reading Is ThinkingPassage fourMan's first real invention, and one of the most important inventions in history, was the wheel. All transportation and every machine in the world depend on it.(The wheel is the simplest yet perhaps the most remarkable of all inventions, because there are no wheels in nature —no living thing was ever created with wheels.) How, then, did man come to invent the wheel Perhaps some early hunters found that they could roll the dead body of a heavy animal through the forest on logs more easily than they could carry it. However, the logs themselves weighed a lot.It must have taken a great prehistoric thinker to imagine two thin slices of log connected at their centers by a strong stick. This would roll along just as the logs did yet be much lighter and easier to handle. Thus the wheel and axle came into being, and with them the first carts.1. The wheel is important because _______.A. it was man's first real inventionB. all transportation depends on itC. every machine depends on itD. both B and C2. The wheel is described as _______.A. simpleB. complicatedC. strangeD. light3. It was remarkable of man to invent the wheel because ______.A. it led to many other inventionsB. man had no use for it thenC. there were no wheels in natureD. it was very complicated4. This passage says that the first wheel might have been a _______.A. round piece of stoneB. heavy logC. piece of metalD. slice of log5. The idea of making wheels might have come from ______.A. chasing an animalB. watching a rolling trunkC. watching running animalsD. rolling the dead body of an animal on logsPart III ClozeHave you 1)_____ asked yourself why children go to school You will probably say that they go 2)_____ their own language and other languages, arithmetic, history, science and 3)_____ subjects.

As it indicates literally, flash marriage describes establishing the marital relationship in a fraction of time, skipping the period of knowing and getting along with each other. Some argue that such speedy relationship may not last long. But people who advocate marriage freedom argue that young people have their own opinion about marriage and can be responsible for their behavior.As society progresses, people's conception of marriage is changing. Financial burdens of keeping up a long-term relationship before marriage have proven to be too difficult for many lovers to handle. Speedy marriages seem to be more economical. But, flash marriage, or getting married without careful consideration, may cause severe social problems. One extreme example published by a Chinese newspaper goes like this: a young couple married in the morning, argued at midday and divorced in the afternoon. Flash marriage, for lack of mutual understanding, may lead to higher rates of divorce.In my eyes, flash marriage is not fit for most of the young people. It is only acceptable to people who are mentally and psychologically mature and with a certain economic foundation. It's surely more sensible to know more about your partner before going down the aisle.102、You are required to write a letter to your teacher to tell her your English study plan with no less than 80 words.DateDear Mr. … Thank you for sparing your precious time to read my letter, which I've been planning to write for a long time.The importance of English is well recognized by us and I'd like to talk about my study plan as follows.
