Each passage is followed by some 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 and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Questions 51to 55are based on the following passageIt would be difficult to have a society like ours without public goods such as defense, transportation, and other services.A public good is one that a person can use without reducing the use of it for another person. One of the best examples of a public good is national defense. One person can benefit from our national defense without reducing another person's benefits. In fact, it is difficult to keep any person in our society from enjoying thebenefits of national defense.The market system does not work well in producing public goods. This is because a person who refuses to pay for a public good cannot be kept from using it. Suppose that the neighbors in a high crime area decide to hire a police force. Each neighbor, except Mrs. Smith, agrees to pay S 100 a year for it. Mrs. Smith refuses to pay because she knows that if all the others pay the $ 100, the police will guard the area anyway. So Mrs. Smith can enjoy the services of the police force without paying $100.The market system has no way to deal with this type of problem. For this reason, we cannot ask each person to make a direct payment in the form of product price. Therefore, we collect money for public goods by using taxes.51. According to the passage, public goods are ___A___.A) services enjoyed by all people .B) what we can buy and sell in public .C) products that we make for national defenseD) taxes paid by the people involved52 The writer gives the example of national defense in paragraph 2 in order to show that ____C__.A) there will be no safety if there is no national defenseB) all the people should be responsible for national defenseC) a public good is a shared benefit for the whole societyD) some public goods are more important than others53 The person who does not pay for a public good __D____.A) keeps himself from using its benefitB) cannot enjoy its benefit at any timeC) fails to keep its benefit from being usedD) enjoys its benefit all the same54. In the third paragraph the author explains __A____.A) what role the market system plays in producing public goodsB) how weak the market system is in producing public goodsC) why some people refuse to pay for public goodsD) what we can do to make use of the market system55. From the passage we learn that the purpose of collecting taxes is to ___A____.A) ensure the continuous supply of public goodsB) reduce the difference between the rich and the poorC) get extra money to support public goodsD) remind people of their dutyPassage TwoQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the following passageSummers with father were always enjoyable. Swimming, hiking, boating, fishing –the days were not long enough to contain all of our activities. There never seemed to be enough time to go church, which disturbed some friends and relations. Accused of neglecting this part of our education, my father accepted their criticism. He decided to institute a summer school for my brother and me. However, his summer course included ancient history, which Papa felt our schools neglected, and navigation, in which we first had a formal examination in the dining room, part of which consisted of tying several knots in a given time limit. Then we were each separately sent on what was grandly referred to as a cruise (巡游) in my father’s 18-foot knockabout. WE spent the night on board, and loaded down, according to my mother, with enough food for a week. I remember that on my cruise I was required to formally plot our course, using the tide table, even though our goal was an island I could see clearly across the water in the distance.56. What was the original reason for holding the summer school? BA) Friends and relatives thought the children should learn religion.B) The father wanted the children to learn more about religion.C) The children got poor grades in their regular school.D) The regular school teachers neglected the children.57. The purpose of the cruise mentioned in the passage was to _B__.A) have fun.B) test the author’s sailing abilityC) reward the author for completing summer schoolD) get to the island.58. Why did the author have to plot the course of her cruise? AA) She had to demonstrate her ability to do so.B) She was afraid of getting lost.C) The coast was dangerous.D) The tides were strong.59. How long did the author’s cruise last? BA) all summer. B) a week. C) overnight D) one day, morning till night.60. Apparently a knockabout is_C__.A) an island B) a cruise C)a boat D) a seaman’s knot.Passage ThreeQuestions 61to 65 are based on the following passageAmerica is a country on the move. People of all ages are exercising their way to better health. According to the latest figures, 59 percent of American adults exercise regularly--up 12 percent from just two years ago and more than double the figure of 25 year ago. Even non-exercises believe they would be more attractive and confident if they were more active.It is hard not to get the message. The advantages of physical fitness are shown on magazine covers, postage stamps, and television ads for everything, from beauty soaps to travel books. Exercise as a part of daily life did not catch on until the late 1960s when research by military doctors began to show the health benefits of doing regular physical exercises. Growing publicity (宣传) for races held in American cities helped fuel a strong interest in the ancient sport of running. Although running hasleveled off in recent years as Americans have discovered equally rewarding-and sometimes safer-forms of exercise, such as walking and swimming, running remains the most popular form of exercise. As the popularity of exercise continues to rise, so does scientific evidence of its health benefits.61. How many American adults were doing regular exercises two years ago? CA) About 70%. B) Nearly 60%. C) Almost 50%. D) More than 12%.62. A growing interest in sports developed after ___A___.A) research showed their health benefitsB) people got the message from magazine covers and postage stampsC) scientific evidence of health benefits was shown on TV adsD) an increasing number of races were held in American cities63.

It can be learnt from the passage that the health benefits of exercise ___C___.A) are yet to be provedB) are to be further studiedC) are supported by scientific evidenceD) are self-evident65. The best TITLE for the passage is __B____.A) Different Forms of ExerciseB) Exercise-The Road to HealthC) Scientific Evidence of Health BenefitsD) Running-A Popular Form of SportPassage FourQuestions 66 to 70 are based on the following passageThe Internet has often been described as the biggest communications revolution since the printed book. But not too long ago it was a secretive field enjoyed by a few select individuals. These days, however, things have changed for the better, and it is now a thriving(繁荣) community with many millions of people exchanging information, ideas and opinions. The development of easier connections, more user-friendly software and cheaper access has opened up the “information superhighway” to everyone in all fields of life.For language teachers, it is the perfect medium. In the past, teachers spent hours collecting leaflets and menus, handouts in the street and free magazines from street stands, and buying foreign language newspapers and magazines. Now, all this material is quickly, cheaply and readily available from the comfort of our desks or homes. The Internet can be an infinite resource file of texts, listening material, video files, live TV from around the world ... The list is endless.And, of course, it's not merely a source of material in English, but also home of professional knowledge for teachers: bibliographies, chat groups, articles, courses and conferences.

Part II Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1. For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C), and D). For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.How Marketers Target KidsKids represent an important demographic to marketers because they have their own purchasing power, they influence their parents’buying decisions and they are the adult consumers of the future.Industry spending on advertising to children has exploded in the past decade, increasing from a mere $100 million in 1990 to more than $2 billion in 2000.Parents today are willing to buy more for their kids because trends such as smaller family size, dual incomes and postponing children until later in life mean that families have more disposable income.As well, guilt can play a role in spending decisions as time-stressed parents substitute material goods for time spent with their kids.Here are some of the strategies marketers employ to target kids:Pester（纠缠）PowerToday’s kids have more autonomy and decision-making power within the family than in previous generations, so it follows that kids are vocal about what they want their parents to buy. “Pester power”refers to children’s ability to nag their parents into purchasing items they may not otherwise buy. Marketing to children is all about creating pester power, because advertisers know what a powerful force it can be.According to the 2001 marketing industry book Kidfluence, pestering or nagging can be divided into two categories —“persistence”and “importance.”Persistence nagging (a plea,that is repeated over and over again) is not as effective as the more sophistica ted “importance nagging.” This latter method appeals to parents’ desire to provide the best for their children, and plays on any guilt they may have about not having enough time for their kids.The Marriage of Psychology and MarketingTo effectively market to children, advertisers need to know what makes kids tick. With the help of well-paid researchers and psychologists, advertisers now have access to in-depth knowledge about children’s developmental, emotional and social needs at different ages. Using research t hat analyzes children’s behaviour, fantasy lives, art work, even their dreams, companies are able to craft sophisticated marketing strategies to reach young people.The issue of using child psychologists to help marketers target kids gained widespread public attention in 1999, when a group of U.S. mental health professionals issued a public letter to the American Psychological Association (APA) urging them to declare the practice unethical. The APA is currently studying the issue.Building Brand Name LoyaltyCanadian author Naomi Klein tracks the birth of “brand”marketing in her 2000 book No Logo.According to Klein, the mid-1980s saw the birth of a new kind of corporation—Nike, Calvin Klein,Tommy Hilfiger, to name a few—which changed their primary corporate focus from producing products to creating an image for their brand name. By moving their manufacturing operations to countries with cheap labour, they freed up money to create their powerful marketing messages. It has been a tremendously profitable formula, and has led to the creation of some of the most wealthy and powerful multi-national corporations the world has seen.Marketers plant the seeds of brand recognition in very young children, in the hopes that the seeds will grow into lifetime relationships. According to the Center for a New American Dream, babies as young as six months of age can form mental images of corporate logos and mascots. Brand loyalties can be established as early as age two, and by the time children head off to school most can recognize hundreds of brand logos. While fast food, toy and clothing companies have been cultivating brand recognition in children for years, adult-oriented businesses such as banks and automakers are now getting in on the act.Buzz or Street MarketingThe challenge for marketers is to cut through the intense advertising clutter ( 杂乱) in young people’s lives. Many companies are using “buzz marketing”—a new twist on the tried-and-true “word of mouth”method. The idea is to find the coolest kids in a community and have them use or wear your product in order to create a buzz around it. Buzz, or “street marketing,”as it’s also called, can help a company to successfully connect with the elusive ( 难找的) teen market by using trendsetters to give them products “cool” status.Buzz marketing is particularly well-suited to the Internet, where young “Net promoters”use chat rooms and blogs to spread the word about music, clothes and other products among unsuspecting users.Commercialization in EducationSchool used to be a place where children were protected from the advertising and consumer messages that permeated their world—but not anymore. Budget shortfalls ( 亏空，差额) are forcing school boards to allow corporations access to students in exchange for badly needed cash, computers and educational materials.Corporations realize the power of the school environment for promoting their name and products.A school setting delivers a captive youth audience and implies the endorsement of teachers and the educational system. Marketers are eagerly exploiting this medium in a number of ways, including:●Sponsored educational materials.●Supplying schools with technology in exchange for high company visibility.●Advertising posted in classrooms, school buses, on computers in exchange for funds.●Contests and incentive programs: for example, the Pizza Hut reading incentives program in which children receive certificates for free pizza if they achieve a monthly reading goal.●Sponsoring school events.The InternetThe Internet is an extremely desirable medium for marketers wanting to target children. It’s part of youth culture. This generation of young people is growing up with the Internet as a daily and routine part of their lives. Kids are often online alone, without parental supervision.Unlike broadcasting media, which have codes regarding advertising to kids, the Internet is unregulated. Sophisticated technologies make it easy to collect information from young people for marketing research, and to target individual children with personalized advertising.Marketing Adult Entertainment to KidsChildren are often aware of and want to see entertainment meant for older audiences because it is actively marketed to them. In a report released in 2000, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) revealed how the movie, music and video games industries routinely market violent entertainment to young children.The FTC studied 44 films rated “Restricted,”and discovered that 80 per cent were targeted to children under 17.Marketing plans included TV commercials run during hours when young viewers were most likely to be watching. The FTC report also highlighted the fact that toys based on characters from mature entertainment are often marketed to young children. Mature rated video games are advertised in youth magazines; and toys based on “Restricted” movies and M-rated video games are marketed to children as young as four.注意：此部分试题请在答题卡1 上作答。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D) . You should decide onthe best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through thecenter.Passage 1Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Road trip vacations where the car journey is part of the fun are especially popular with college students, who like to explore the country on wheels. These budget trips are ideal for students who often have plenty of free time but little money.“Ever since I went to college, I’ve been traveling around a lot, exploring the country,” said Austin Hawkins, a 19-year-old college student from New York. This summer, Hawkins and his friends have spent weekends traveling in New England.The best part about car trips, said Hawkins, is that you can be spontaneous. “On a road trip, if you get interested in things you see along the way you can stop and explore.”Matt Roberts, a 20-year-old student from Ohio who drove to Montreal, Canada, agrees. “With road trips you don’t have to plan in advance, you can just get into a car and drive.”Even with high gas prices, driving with friends is cheaper than flying. Roberts paid about 40 dollars for gas, but a round trip plane ticket would have cost nearly 400 dollars.Driving trips first became popular in the 1920s. Newly paved roads and improved cars it possible to travel longer distances. Motels started appearing outside cities, By the 1950s，car ownership became the norm. Construction of the US interstate highway system began in 1956 and motel and restaurant chains popped up everywhere making long distance trips easier.Today，the US has the highest car ownership rate in the world. Only 8 percent of American homes have no car, according to the most recent US census (人口普查). Though many college students don’t own a car, most have access to one. On many of Hawkins’ trips, they used a borrowed van.Hawkins，most memorable road trip took place over spring break. He and two friends drove from New York to New Orleans to volunteer, helping rebuild the city after Hurricane Katrina hit it last July. They crossed the country in two days and slept in their car in church parking lots.31. What is the biggest advantage of a car trip?A) Being cheap. B) Being funny. C) Being flexible. D) Being ideal.32. What does the phrase “pop up” (Line 2，Para. 7) most probably mean?A) Appear. B) Disappear. C) Move. D) Leave.33. It can be inferred from the passage that ____________ .A) Hawkins, family does not have a carB) it is a shame if a family does not have a car in the USC) most college students have their own carsD) one does not have to own a car to do a road trip34. It can be learned from the passage that Hawkins ______________ .A) likes traveling alone very much B) comes from a very rich familyC) is a student with a loving heart D) is a person without organizational ability35. What is the passage mainly about?A) Road trips. B) Car ownership.C) The development of motels. D) Highway construction.Passage 2Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:Driving alone in a car increases global temperatures in the long run more than making the same long-distance journey by air according to a new study. However, in the short run traveling by air has a larger negative climate impact because airplanes strongly affect short-lived warming processes at high altitudes (海拔高度).The study compares the impacts on global warming of different means of transport. In the long run the global temperature increase from a car trip will on average be higher than from a plane journey of the same distance. However, in the first years after the journey, air travel increases global temperatures four times more than car travel. Passenger trains and buses cause four to five times less impact than automobile travel for every kilometer a passenger travels. The findings prove sound despite the scientific uncertainties in understanding the earth’s climate system.“As planes fly at high altitudes, their impact on ozone（臭氧）and clouds is unusually high, though shortlived. Although the exact magnitude（强度）is uncertain, the net effect is a strong, short-term, temperature increase,” explains Dr. Jens Borken-Kleefeld, lead author of the study. “Car travel send out more carbon dioxide （二氧化碳）than air travel per passenger kilometer. As carbon dioxide remains in the atmosphere longer than the other gases, cars have a more harmful impact on climate change in the long term.”The research also showed that when it comes to freight transport, moving goods by planes will increase global temperatures between 7 to 35 times more than moving the same goods the same distance in an average truck. Shipping on the contrary exerts 25 times less warming in the long run, and even cools on shorter time scales.The study concluded that it is important to have policies to reduce both the air pollutants that have strong, short-term impacts and the long-lived gases that lead to long-term warming. A comprehensive strategy to deal with climate change caused by the transport sector is actually to minimize the demand for transport.36. Which of the following is the main purpose of the study?A) To compare the effects on global temperatures of different means of transport.B) To compare which is the best means of transportation under different temperatures.C) To test the factors that might cause global warming.D) To figure out which means of transportation sends out the least carbon dioxide.37. Which of the following is true about different means of travel?A) In the long run a car trip will cause less global warming than a plane journey.B) It is hard to assess the impact of different means of travel on the earth’s climate.C) In the short run traveling by air has a larger negative climate impact.D) Passenger trains and buses cause similar impact as automobiles for per passenger kilometer.38. Why do cars have a more harmful impact on climate change in the long run?A) Because cars run at a much lower altitude than planes.B) Because carbon dioxide remains in the atmosphere longer than the other gases.C) Because car travel sends out more carbon dioxide than air travel per passenger kilometer.D) Because planes’ impact on ozone and clouds is unusually short lived.39. According to the passage, which is the most environmentally friendly way to transport goods?A) By trains. B) By planes. C) By trucks. D) By ships.40. What does the author suggest people do to deal with climate change?A) Decrease the need for transport. B) Use more trucks.C) Reduce the use of planes. D) Drive cars less often.Passage 3Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:A new study led by three Iowa State University psychologists has found that both viewing television and playing video games are associated with increased attention problems in youths.The research, which included both elementary school-age and college-age participants, found that children who exceeded the two hours per day of screen time recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics were 1.5 to 2 times more likely to be above average in attention problems.“There isn't an exact number of hours when screen time contributes to attention problems, but the AAP recommendation of no more than two hours a day provides a good reference point,” said Edw ard Swing, an Iowa State psychology doctoral candidate and lead researcher in the study. “Most children are way above that. In our sample, children’s total average time with television and video games is 4.26 hours per day, which isactually low compared t o the national average.”Collaborating with Swing on the research were Douglas Gentile, Craig Anderson and David Walsh. Their study will be published in the August print issue of Pediatrics—the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics—available online on Monday, July 5.“It is still not clear why screen media may increase attention problems, but many researchers speculate that it may be due to rapid-pacing, or the natural attention getting aspects that television and video games use，” Swing said.Gentile reports that the pace of television programming has been quickened by “the MTV effect”. “When MTV came on, it started showing music videos that had very quick edits—cuts once every second or two，” Gentile said. “Consequently，the pacing of other television and films sped up too, with much quicker edits.”He says that quicker pace may have some brain-changing effects when it comes to attention span. “Brain science demonstrates that the brain becomes what the brain does,” Gentile said. “If we train the brain to require constant stimulation and constant flickering（闪烁的）lights, changes in sound and camera angle, or immediate feedback, such as video games can provide, then when the child lands in the classroom where the teacher doesn't have a mi 1 lion-dollar-per-episode（连续剧的一集）budget，it may be hard to get children to sustain their attention.”41. It is implied from the passage that ____________ .A) the AAP’s recommendation of screen time is not very reasonableB) teachers are also responsible for children’s too much screen timeC) playing video games is much more harmful than watching TVD) parents should limit their children’s TV viewing and video game play42. The word “pediatrics” (Line 2, Para. 2) most probably means “a branch of medicine connected with_____ ”.A) children B) psychology C) feet D) eyes43. It is implied in the passage that the national average of screen time per day is ____________ .A) 1.5 to 2 two hours B) about 4.26 hoursC) less than two hours D) higher than 4.26 hours44. What is “the MTV effect” according to the passage?A) Much stimulation and flickering lights.B) Brain-changing effects and making one lose concentration.C) Quick edits and quickening the pace of television and films.D) Many songs, actors and actresses.45. What is the main idea of the passage?A) Too much screen time causes attention problems in children.B) Teachers need to be more creative to attract students’ attention.C) Quicker pace and constant stimulation are not good for children’s brains.、D) AAP is trying to figure out an ideal reference poin t for children’s screen time.Section BDirections: In this section, there is a passage with 10 blanks.

It can affect a large area or just 46 trees or even part of a tree. No, it is not a disease. Alternate bearing is 47 a tree produces a heavy crop one year，called an “on-crop”, 48 by an “off-crop” the next year. On-crop trees produce a large number of small fruit with little 49 . Off-crop trees produce no fruit or a small number of large fruit 50 often have thick, ugly skins.Fruit growers know that the number of fruit in their current crop has an inverse (相反的) 51 on the number of flowers in the return bloom (开花期). In other words, 52 one number is big, the other number will be 53 . Two researchers recently did a study to understand how this happens. The study showed that fruit on the tree 54 the next bloom by stopping buds (嫩芽) from appearing. As a result, there is a reduction of flowers. During an on-crop year, growers often treat the fruit so it can stay on the tree longer. The purpose is to 55 the harvest season. Yet Carol Lovatt says holding fruit on the tree makes alternate bearing worse.Part III Integrated Testing (15 marks, 20 minutes)Section ADirections:There are 20 blanks in the following passage.
