As a result of this new awareness, attitudes towards health are changing. In the past, people tend to think that it was 44 for good health to have a good doctor who could be relied on to know exactly what to dowhen they become ill. Now they are realizing that merely receiving the best treatment 45 illness and injury is not enough. They are learning that they must 46 more responsibility for their own health.Today many people are changing their dietary 47 and eating food with less fat and cholesterol. Many are paying more attention to reducing 48 in their lives. The number of smokers in the US is now far below the level of a lot of years ago 49 many people succeed in breaking the habit and as fewer people take it up.More and more are aware of the 50 of regular exercise like walking, running or swimming, some have begun to walk or ride bicycles to work instead of driving. Millions have become members of health clubs and have 51 health club one of the fastest growing businesses in the US today.And now the beneficial effects of these changing attitudes and behaviors are beginning to appear: an encouraging decrease in deaths from heart disease.PART ⅤREADING COMPREHENSIONSECTION A MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONSIn this section there are several passages followed by ten multiple-choice questions. For each question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.PASSAGE ONE"There is very little in my life that is more personal and more important to me than comets." The amateur astronomer David H. Levy told Terence Dickinson in an interview. "Not just discovering them but watching them, learning about them, writing about them, understanding what they do. It makes observing the sky intensely personal. I feel when I find a new comet that a door has been opened and I have seen a slightly new aspect of nature. There is this object in the solar system that —for a few minutes or a few hours—only I know about. It is like trying to pry a secret out of nature. It is a very special feeling."Ever since he was a child, David Levy has been fascinated by the night sky and the wonders it reveals to devoted watchman. He developed a special feeling for comets before he reached his teens, though it was not until 1984—after nineteen years and more than nine hundred hours of combing the sky in search of them—that he discovered his first one, from a small observatory that he had built in his backyard.Since then, he has discovered or co-discovered twenty more, making him one of the world's most important comet hunters. His most celebrated find is periodic comet Shoemaker Levy 9, which he made with the husband-and-wife comet and asteroid hunting team Eugene and Carolyn Shoemaker. The comet's dramatic collision with Jupiter in July 1994, which constituted "the greatest planetary show in recorded history", to quote Malcolm W. Browne of the New York Times, captivated not only professional astronomers, but many amateurs. Although he is "only" an amateur astronomer, he earns his living by lecturing and writing books and by working with project artists. They're projects devoted to introducing astronomy toelementary school children. He has won tremendous respect from his professional colleagues for his success in tracking comets. "David Levy is one of those rare individuals blessed with the gift of discovery," David Hartsel, who serves on the board of directors of the Richland Astronomical Society, in Ohio, has said. "Even rarer is his ability to let others share in the excitement and wonder of those discoveries through his writing and lectures."PASSAGE TWOBeing a man has always been dangerous. There are about 105 males born for every 100 females, but this ratio drops to near balance at the age of maturity, and among 70-year-olds there are twice as many women as men. But the great universal of male mortality is being changed. Now, boy babies survive almost as well as girls do. This means that, for the first time, there will be an excess of boys in those crucial years when they are searching for a mate. More important, another chance for natural selection has been removed. Fifty years ago, the chance of a baby (particularly a boy baby) surviving depended on its weight. A kilogram too light or too heavy meant almost certain death. Today it makes almost no difference. Since much of the variation is due to genes, one more agent of evolution has gone.There is another way to commit evolutionary suicide: stay alive, but have fewer children. Few people are as fertile as in the past. Except in some religious communities, very few women have 15 children. Nowadays the number of births, like the age of death, has become average. Most of us have roughly the same number of offspring. Again, differences between people and the opportunity for natural selection to take advantage of it have diminished. India shows what is happening. The country offers wealth for a few in the great cities and poverty for the remaining tribal peoples. The grand mediocrity of today—everyone being the same in survival and number of offspring—means that natural selection has lost 80 percent of its power in upper-middle-class India compared to the tribes.For us, this means that evolution is over; the biological Utopia has arrived. Strangely, it has involved little physical change. No other species fills so many places in nature. But in the past 100,000 years—even the past 100 years—our lives have been transformed but our bodies have not. We did not evolve, because machines and society did it for us. Darwin had a phrase to describe those ignorant of evolution: They "look at an organic being as a savage looks at a ship, as at something wholly beyond his comprehension". No doubt we will remember a 20th century way of life beyond comprehension for its ugliness. But however amazed our descendants may be at how far from Utopia we were, they will look just like us.PASSAGE THREEBy far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work for a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along, doing a bit of this subject or that, as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.Few students work to a set timetable. They say that if they did construct a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it, or would have to alter itconstantly, since they can never predict from one day to the next what their activities will be.No doubt some temperaments take much more kindly to a regular routine than others. There are many who shy away from the self-regimentation of a weekly timetable, and dislike being tied down to a definite program of work. Many able students claim that they work in cycles. When they become interested in a topic they work on it intensively for three or four days at a time. On other days, they avoid work completely. It has to be confessed that we do not fully understand the complexities of the motivation to work. Most people over 25 years of age have become conditioned to a work routine, and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important aspects of their work. The "tough-minded" school of workers is usually very contemptuous of the idea that good work can only be done spontaneously, under the influence of inspiration.Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of "freedom". Freedom from restraint and discipline leads to unhappiness rather than to "self-expression" or "personality development". Our society insists on regular habits, time keeping and punctuality, and whether we like it or not, if we mean to make our way in society we have to comply with its demands.PASSAGE FOUREven just a degree or two of greenhouse warming will have a dramatic impact on water resources across western North America. Teams who have modeled the climate in the area are warning of greatly reduced snow packs and more intense flooding as temperatures inch up during the 21st century.It's the first time that global climate modelers have worked so closely with teams running detailed regional models of snowfall, rain and stream flows to predict exactly what warming will do to the area. The researchers, from the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, and elsewhere, were surprised by the size of the effect generated by only a small rise in temperature.Assuming business as usual emissions, greenhouse gases will warm the west coast of North America by just one or two degrees Celsius over the next century, and average precipitation won't change much. But in the model, warmer winters raised the snowline, drastically reducing the crucial mountain snow pack, the researchers told the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco. "We realized that huge areas of the snow pack in the Sierra went down to 15 percent of today's values," says Michael Dettinger, a research hydrologist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California. That caught everyone's attention.The researchers also predict that by the middle of the century, melting snow will cause streams to reach their annual peak flow up to a month earlier. And with warm rains melting snow or drenching already saturated ground, the risk of extreme floods will rise dramatically. We have to believe in these very warm, very wet storms, says Andrew Wood, a water resources modeler at the University of Washington, Seattle."Since dams can't be filled until the risk of flooding is past, the models predictthey will trap just 70 to 85 percent as much run-off as they do now. This is a particular problem for California, where agriculture, industry, a burgeoning population and environmental needs already clash over limited water supplies. We are taking this extremely seriously," says Jonas Minton, deputy director of the California Department of Water Resources.And observations certainly back up the models. Minton points out that an increasing percentage of California's precipitation over recent decades is falling as rain rather than snow. And Iris Stewart, a climate researcher at the University of California, San Diego, has found that in the last 50 years, run-off peaks in the western US and Canada have been happening earlier and earlier. The cause seems to be a region-wide trend towards warmer winters and springs.Dettinger has little doubt that the models point to a real and immediate problem. "It's upon us," he says, "and it's not clear what the fix is."52、The primary purpose of this passage is to ______.(PASSAGE ONE)A. praise Levy for his contribution to the observation of cometsB. show that an amateur can do things as well as a professionalC. introduce David Levy as an astronomer and his professionD. demonstrate that strong interest can help a person succeed in his life53、All of the following are suggested in this passage as reasons for Levy's success EXCEPT that ______.(PASSAGE ONE)A. he had books and articles published on astronomyB. he worked on projects intended to introduce astronomyC. he was endowed with the gift of the discovery of cometsD. he was highly praised by his colleagues for his unselfishness54、David Hartsel most appreciates Levy's ______.(PASSAGE ONE)A. gifted ability of comet huntingB. way of expressing himselfC. curiosity to the sky and cometsD. spirit of devotion to astronomy55、What does the example of India illustrate?(PASSAGE TWO)A. Wealthy people tend to have fewer children than poor people.B. Natural selection hardly works among the rich and the poor.C. The middle class population is 80 percent smaller than that of the tribes.D. India is one of the countries with a very high birth rate.56、The author argues that our bodies have stopped evolving because ______.(PASSAGE TWO)A. life has been improved by technological advanceB. the number of female babies has been decliningC. our species has reached the highest stage of evolutionD. the difference between wealth and poverty is disappearing57、Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?(PASSAGE TWO)A. Sex Ratio Changes in Human EvolutionB. Ways of Continuing Man's EvolutionC. The Evolutionary Future of NatureD.

Many capable students avoid working in cycles when studying various topics.60、Researchers predict all of the following EXCEPT that ______.(PASSAGE FOUR)A. a small rise in temperature will procure disasterB. greenhouse gases will warm the west coast of North America by one or two degreesC. melting snow will give rise to streams and make them reach their annual peak earlierD. dams will trap just 70 to 85 percent as much run-off as they do now61、What kind of phenomenon caught everyone's attention?(PASSAGE FOUR)A. Average precipitation.B. Greenhouse gases.C. Decreasing snow pack in Sierra.D. The increase of the snowline.62、SECTION B SHORT ANSWER QUESTIONSIn this section there are five short answer questions based on the passages in SECTION A. Answer the questions with NO MORE THAN TEN words in the space provided on ANSWER SHEET TWO.According to the passage, when did Levy achieve his fame?(PASSAGE ONE)63、What used to be the danger of being a man according to the first paragraph?(PASSAGE TWO)64、What is the author's opinion on freedom without discipline?(PASSAGE THREE)65、What is the meaning of the word "burgeoning" in the fifth paragraph?(PASSAGE FOUR)66、What does the passage mainly tell us?(PASSAGE FOUR)PART ⅥWRITING67、Read carefully the following excerpt, and then write your response in NO LESS THAN 200 words, in which you should:●summarize the main message of the excerpt, and then●comment on whether science and art education should be divided in high schoolYou should support yourself with information from the excerpt.Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organizationand language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.Separating no science and arts educationSince 2009, with the issue of the China's Medium and Long Term Education Reform and Development, there ushered in the heated discussion of "the necessity and the feasibility to abolish science and art division in high school".It heralded 2015-2016's Gaokao Reform in many provinces to drop the previous rigorous division of science and art like Shanxi, Changsha, Tianjing, Fujian... etc.The main reasons are as follows:The NPC Standing Committee member Zhu Yongxin said in an interview with Southern Weekend, "the severe of science and art does conspicuous damage to students' intelligence and knowledge." He also said that the previous education strategy stifled the potential of students by restricting them too early in science or art and they should be given choices until maturity.The headmaster of Guangxi TVU He Zubing, "there is definitive categorization in knowledge like science and art but life has no such categorization."According to a poll done by Southern Weekend, there is a pervasive prejudice of art education. The students in science are endeared while those in art are often snuffed at in everyday society.It is early for students to receive art-science separate education; students should learn art or science separately in college but not high school.答案:PART ⅠDICTATION1、[听力原文]TouchingTactile communication is the use of touch in communication./ Touch may be viewed as the most extreme form of invasion of personal space./ Nonetheless, touch is essential to our growth and development./ An insufficient amount of touching can result in health disorders such as allergies, speech problems and problems with symbolic recognition./ Researches have found that untouched babies and small children grow increasingly ill./Touch is one of the most powerful ways we have of communicating with others./ The pleasure touch causes originates in infancy./ For most people, touching is positive and enjoyable./ People who are comfortable with touch tend to be satisfied with themselves, their lives and their childhoods./ They are self-confident, assertive, display a socially acceptable self-presentation, and active rather than passive ways of dealing with problems./In most cultures, touch is associated with positive attitudes./ It is one of the clearest indications that we like and accept others and they like and accept us.PART ⅡLISTENING COMPREHENSIONSECTION A TALK2、overtaken/surpassed[听力原文]Car SafetyWell, good afternoon. In today's session I will be sharing some of the findings of my project from last term. I had been interested and horrified by several newspaper reports on what people call "road rage". For example the famous incident of a man getting out of his car in a car park and hitting the driver of a van who had overtaken him earlier. So I decided to make this the focus of the project.For our research we depended mainly on talking to individuals, asking them questions rather than using written questionnaires. Well, we found 93% of respondents had had some kind of problem. A surprisingly large percentage—24% had their car damaged in some way, but the main type of incident was being shouted at—79% had experienced that. The police tended only to be informed when there was physical violence involved.So what strategies had people developed to ensure their own safety? We found that both sexes made the point that it's much safer to get keys out well in advance as you go towards your car. Men were very aware that muggers or whatever might be concealed behind the car. They also made the point that you should leave plenty of room when you park your car so you can make a quick getaway if you need to. Finally, locking doors at all times.Besides self-protection skills, when road rage does happen at the very moment, something needs to be done. Maryland, like many other states, is working on the problem by stepping up efforts to crack down on aggressive drivers. Hefty fines for dangerous drivers and speeders are on the front line against road rage. California is approaching the problem with technology. A new automated system being installed by the state automatically takes photographs of the license plates of vehicles that run red lights. It even captures accident scenes for police review. A key factor in reversing the process is an apology. A road rager can become upset because you accidentally cut in front of him or her, or for other reasons that were not intentional. Over 85% of road ragers said that they would drop the matter if the other "careless" driver simply apologized. Instead, road ragers claim, the "careless" driver seems to be unconcerned about what they just did and, therefore, needs to be taught a lesson. In a ear, only one method is effective in conveying an apology: A sign. We have found that it is very effective in warding off anger. In fact, many drivers actually smile when we raise a "SORRY" sign to them after we have accidentally done something wrong. We keep a "SORRY" sign in the map holder on the driver's door and the passenger's door. It could also be kept under the sun visor if it is fastened with a clip or rubber band so that it doesn't hit you in the face when the visor comes down.To sum up, I have described the phenomenon of road rage, explained the findings of the survey, and presented the strategies to ensure safety and self-protection skills. That's it for today.[解析] 细节题。

Choose the one that you think is the correct answer. Mark your choices on your ANSWER SHEET.TEXT AAnna Douglas was 72 years old when she started writing her newspaper column.She had been the director of a school and a camp before she retired, but she needed to keep busy. She was even willing to work without pay. That was the reason she found a volunteer job with an agency. The agency that she chose to work for was a business that helped other businesses find jobs for old people. Every day she talked with other retired people like herself. By talking, she recognized two things. Old people had abilities that were not being used. Old people also had problems——mostly problems with communication.Mrs. Douglas found a new purpose for herself. Through the years, from time to time she had written stories about people for national magazines. Now there was a new subject: old people like herself. She began to write a newspaper column called “Sixty Plus,” which focused on getting old. She writes about the problems of old people, especially their problems with being misunderstood.Anna Douglas uses her thinking ability to see the truth behind a problem. She understands the reasons why problems begin. She understands old people and young people, too. For example, one of her readers said that his grandchildren left the house as soon as he came to visit. Mrs. Douglas suggested some ways for him to increase understanding with his grandchildren. She told him to listen to young peoples music and to watch the most popular television shows.“It’s important to know something about your grandchildren’s world,” says Mrs.Douglas. “That means questioning and listening——and listening is not what old sters do best,” she continues, “Say good things to them and about them. Never criticize your grandchildren or any other youngsters, teenagers, or young adults.Never tell them that they are wrong. Don’t give them yo ur opinion. They have been taught that they should have respect for old people. The old should have respect for the young as well.”66. Anna Douglas understands the problems of old people ____.A. because she likes their musicB. because she has grandchildrenC. because she watches their television programsD. because she is old herself67. Anna Douglas’ newspaper column____.A. is about how to find jobs for old peopleB. spreads ideas for youngstersC. discusses the problems of old peopleD. contains mostly funny stories68. What advice did Mrs. Douglas NOT give to the reader whose grandchildren didnt want to see himA. Listen to popular music.B. Tell more interesting stories.C. Try to understand the grandchildren.D. Watch more popular TV shows.69. The main point of Mrs. Douglas’ advice is____.A. old people should understand and respect the youngB. old people have a lot to learn from the youngC. poor hearing often causes old people to misunderstand the youngD. old people should show respect for the young even when they criticize themTEXT BIs there no end to the Drug PlagueLast year, our nation’s capital passed the murder-a-day mark, and the number of homicides is now up some 50 percent from that level. More thanhalf of these killings are drug-related. In 1988 New York City had its most violent year ever,with 1896 homicides. Many of these involved drugs. Such homicides are also a problem in Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, Los Angeles, Phoenix and scores of other cities where drug gangs war against one another and use violence to spread their deadly trade. In Bankhead Courts, and Atlanta housing project, drug-related crime has reached the point where mail carriers have had to depend on increased police patrols at delivery time.For years, we have attacked the supply side of the drug crisis, trying to choke off the flow of drugs into our country and stop the networks that distribute them. This strategy has failed miserably. Now it’s time to launch a whole new offensive. We must crack down on drug consumers. Last year, former First Lady Nancy Reagan had an emotional meeting with the parents of young woman who had died in a train crash that involved an engineer’s use of drugs. After that meeting, Mrs. Reagan said, “ If you’re a casual drug user, you’re an accomplice to murder.”Mary Jane Hatcher, widow of a New York City drug-enforcement agent killed in the drug wars, echoes that sentiment. “Even through the grief,” she said after her husband’s death earlier this year, “ I must ask, who really killed Everett Emerson from our society Look around. Wemiddle-class suburban Americans, we casual users, we dabblers in drugs keep the market in drugs an ever-increasing one.Therefore, Everett Emerson Hatcher was killed by all of us. Nice people. All of you who hear me now and fit this description, all of you must accept the blame for the loss of this good, gentle man.”70. The best title for this passage is ____.A. There Is No End to the Drug PlagueB. Let’s Get Tough with Drug UserC. We Must Crack Down on Drug SuppliesD. Everyone Is A Victim of Drug Use71. Which of the following statements is not true according to the passageA. Last year there was a murder almost every day in Washington D.C..B. Now more homicides happened this year.C. More than half of these crimes are related to drug.D. In USA mail carriers always depend on increased police patrols at delivery time.72. For years the strategy against drug ____.A. hasn’t worked as desiredB. has encouraged the supply of drugC. hasn’t cut off the networks that distribute drugD. has cracked down on drug consumers73. Who should be blamed for the death of Everett Emerson HatcherA. All of us.B. One of the drug gangs.C. Drug enforcement agent.D. Middle-class suburban Americans.TEXT CThere’s been a lot of talk about extraterrestrial beings visiting our planet. I don’t put much stock in that. I am convinced, however, that we are surrounded by sentient things of our own making whose single aim is the harassment of the individual and, ultimately, the destruction of society.Let me illustrate. A couple of years ago, I received a $ 600 insurance dividend. Sitting at the kitchen table, my wife and I discussed what we might do with the bonanza. I realize now that the refrigerator overheard our conversation. The very next day, it went berserk. The repairman told us we needed a new unit. Cost: $ 600.Not long after, we got a refund from the IRS, enough to pay for a vacation in Mexico.“I’ve something to tell you,” I said to my wife. “ Privately.”“How about the den” she suggested. I remembered that the color television set is in the den. “No, not there. Let’s go outside.”I showed her the check as we stood in the driveway. We hugged each other elatedly and hardly noticed the rain.My car was parked within earshot. I didn’t think anything of it at the time.As I started for the train the next morning, the car began making devilish screeching sounds.“The engine’s shot,” my mechanic said, “Replacing it will cost about a thousand d ollars.”The car’s demise convinced me I was on to something big. I dug through our financial records. I discovered that over the past ten years our receipt of “ found” money invariably was followed by equal expenditures to replace a hot-water heater, a television and a stove.Today, I lavish compliments on all the mechanical devices in our home. And I never, ever mention financial rewards in front of them.But if this article is published and I’m paid for it, the word processor is going to go wrong for sur e. It’ll know.74. In Paragraph 1, “sentient things of our own making” refer to ____.A. extraterrestrial beingsB. human beingsC. our sense organsD. mechanical devices made by man75. Which of the following statements is trueA. The author believes that there have been extraterrestrial beings visiting our planet.B. The author and his wife talked about the refund in the driveway where noting could hear them.C. The author and his wife were overjoyed at the repayment from the IRS.D. The author noticed that the refrigerator was overhearing his conversation with his wife.76. Which is the topic sentence of the passageA. The first sentence of the passage.B. The third sentence of the passage.C. The last sentence but one of the passage.D. The last sentence of the passage.TEXT DA twenty-year-old immigrant, Levi Strauss, came to the United States in 1850 to seek his fortune in the gold fields. But strangely enough, this man made his fortune on heavy canvas that he found suitable for working clothes. Strauss’ jeans were particularly good for prospectors and cowboys. In the early days of jeans, this man couldn’t have guessed that his pants, made only for rough work, would become so popular at all levels of society. Yes, this is a fact: jeans have become fashionable in our society. Furthermore, these pants have come to symbolize changes in social attitude.In the last decade or two we have seen movements toward equality as well as defiance of authority. Jeans, now worn by everybody, can be said to symbolize these changes for the better. In the past, only men wore jeans, and these men were at the bottom——socially and economically. Jeans were worn by truck drivers, farm and factory workers. Today, jeans no longer are looked down upon. They are worn by both men and women, by both skilled and unskilled workers, by both employees and employers. This common way of dressing symbolizes respect for individuality, no matter what your occupation or sex. In the fight against authority, young people have been the leaders. So it is natural that teenagers would defy parents and school administrators over the right to wear jeans to class and win. Jeans are the typical dress of civil rights marchers, fans at rock concerts, “hippies” returning to nature, and serious college students.Because everyone can be comfortable in them, the blue jeans invented for the use of workers are now accepted almost anywhere, anytime. This is true not only in the United States, but in many other countries in the world. I strongly agree with the following statement: “Old or new, glorified or plain, jeans are likely to be around for a long time to come. Already they have succeeded where statesmanship has failed. Although unable to speak the same language, the inhabitants of this embattled planet have at least agreed to wear the same pants.”77. Jeans, originally designed by Levi Strauss, ____.A. have become a symbol of the fashionable classB. have come to symbolize changes in social attitudeC. are suitable wear for rough work onlyD. are no longer so popular as they used to be78. What is implied but not directly stated in the passage is that____.A. young people have been the leaders in the fight against authorityB. today, jeans are no longer looked down uponC. jeans are the typical dress of civil rights marchersD. formerly students were not allowed to wear jeans to class79. The author is of the opinion that____.A. jeans are likely to be a short-lived fashionB. jeans are popular only in the United StatesC. jeans are likely to be popular for a long time to comeD. jeans are no longer fashionable80. The last two sentences imply that____.A. statesmen in the world are less competent than jeansB. the inhabitants of the world should speak the same languageC.statesmen have failed to reach agreement on many major issues of the worldD. jeans will help statesmen to reach agreement on some world issuesSECTION B SKIMMING AND SCANNING［5 MIN.］In this section there are five passages with a total of ten multiple-choice questions.

Shakespeare lovers keen to see the place where the Bard’s mother Mary Arden grew up have been visiting the wrong house since the 18th century. The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust said that new research had shown the Tudor farmhouse long known as “Mary Arden’s House” in fact belonged to a family friend. The mother ofWilliam Shakespe are, England’s most famous playwriter, actually lived in another property close bythe Warwickshire village of Wilmcote, three miles north ofStratford-upon-Avon. The discovery was made by local historian Nat Alcock, who traced medieval land deeds, including a rental agreement dating from 1587, showing that a building known as Glebe Farm was Mary’s childhood home. The house thought to have been her home was in fact owned by Adam Palmer, a family friend and neighbor. Glebe Farm will now be known as Mary Arden’s House and the building which previously bore that name will be called Palmer’s Farm.TEXT FFirst read the following questions.83.

The British are the European Union’s worst linguists while the citizens of Luxem bourg are the best, according to an EU poll published recently. Almost two-thirds of Britons know no language apart from their mother tongue, the highest figure recorded in the 15 EU countries. That compares to just 2.2 percent in Luxembourg, 12.3 percent of Danes and an EU average of 47.3 percent of people who speak no other language but their own, the poll of 16,000 EU citizens said. But British travelers to Europe need not worry. English is the most common second language in the EU, spoken by 41 percent of the block’s citizens. In Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands, at least 78 percent of people speak English as a second language. Although 47 percent of EU citizens know only their mother tongue, there is wide agreement that speaking foreign language is good thing. 72 percent of those polled believe foreign language skills are useful, 71 percent said everyone should know one foreign language and 69 percent said everyone should speak English.TEXT GFirst read the following questions.85.

英语专业四级考试真题及答案4TEXT BNowadays, a cellphone service is available to everyone, everywhere. Probably thousands of people have already been using it, but I just discovered it, so I’m going to claim it and also name it: Fake Foning.The technology has been working well for me at the office, but there are infinite applications. Virtually in any public space.Say you work at a big university with lots of talky faculty members buzzing about. Now, say you need to use the restroom. The trip down the hall will take approximately one hour, because a person can’t walk into those talky people without getting pulled aside for a question, a bit of gossip, a new read on a certain line of Paradise Lost.So, a cellphone. Any cellphone. Just pick it up. Don’t d ial. Just hold that phone to your face and start talking. Walk confidently down the hall engaged in fake conversation, making sure to tailor both the topic and content to the person standing before you whom you are trying to evade.For standard colleague avoidance, I suggest fake chatting about fake business:“Yes, I’m glad you called, because we really need to hammer out the details. What’s that? Yes, I read Page 12, but if you look at the bottom of 4, I think you can see the problem begins right t here.”Be animated. Be engaged in your fake fone conversation. Make eyecontact with the people passing, nod to them, gesture keen interest in talking to them at a later time, point to your phone, shrug and move on.Shoppers should consider fake foning anytime they spot a talky neighbor in the produce departmentpinching (用手捏) unripe peaches. Without your phone at your face, you’d be in for a 20-minute speech on how terrible the world is.One important caution about fake foning. The other day I was fake foning my way past a colleague, and he was actually following me to get my attention. I knew he wanted to ask about a project I had not yet finished. I was trying to buy myself some time, so I continued fake foning with my doctor. “So I don’t need the operation? Oh, doctor, that is the best news.”And then: Brrrrrrng! Brrrrrmg! Brrrrrmg! My phone started ringing, right there while it was planted on my face. My colleague looked at me, and I at him, and naturally I gasped. “What is the matter with this thing?”I said, pulling the phone away to look at it, and then putting it back to my ear.“Hello? Are you still there?”Oops.85. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A. Cellphone service is popular among people.B. Cellphone has much use in office.C. Fake foning is a new cellphone service.D. Fake foning is a new discovery.86. What is fake foning?A. A strategy to avoid people.B. A device newly produced.C. A service provided everywhere.D. A skill of communication.87. In the author’s opinion, in order to make fake foning look real one has toA. talk about interesting matters.B. behave politely to people passing by.C. hold the phone while walking.D. appear absorbed in conversation.88. What does the last example show?A. One effective way is to fake fone one’s doctor.B. One has to be careful while fake foning.C. Fake foning may not deceive people.D. Fake foning is always quite successful.89. After his phone suddenly began ringing, the authorA. immediately started talking to the caller.B. immediately started talking to his colleague.C. put the phone away and stopped talking.D. continued with his fake conversation.90. What is the tone of the passage?A. Critical.B. Humorous.C. Serious.D. Unclear.。

The trip down the hall will take approximately one hour, because a person can’t walk into those talky people without getting pulled aside for a question, a bit of gossip, a new read on a certain line of Paradise Lost.So, a cellphone. Any cellphone. Just pick it up. Don’t d ial. Just hold that phone to your face and start talking. Walk confidently down the hall engaged in fake conversation, making sure to tailor both the topic and content to the person standing before you whom you are trying to evade.For standard colleague avoidance, I suggest fake chatting about fake business:“Yes, I’m glad you called, because we really need to hammer out the details. What’s that? Yes, I read Page 12, but if you look at the bottom of 4, I think you can see the problem begins right t here.”Be animated. Be engaged in your fake fone conversation. Make eyecontact with the people passing, nod to them, gesture keen interest in talking to them at a later time, point to your phone, shrug and move on.Shoppers should consider fake foning anytime they spot a talky neighbor in the produce departmentpinching (用手捏) unripe peaches. Without your phone at your face, you’d be in for a 20-minute speech on how terrible the world is.One important caution about fake foning. The other day I was fake foning my way past a colleague, and he was actually following me to get my attention. I knew he wanted to ask about a project I had not yet finished. I was trying to buy myself some time, so I continued fake foning with my doctor. “So I don’t need the operation? Oh, doctor, that is the best news.”And then: Brrrrrrng! Brrrrrmg! Brrrrrmg! My phone started ringing, right there while it was planted on my face. My colleague looked at me, and I at him, and naturally I gasped. “What is the matter with this thing?”I said, pulling the phone away to look at it, and then putting it back to my ear.“Hello? Are you still there?”Oops.85. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?A. Cellphone service is popular among people.B. Cellphone has much use in office.C. Fake foning is a new cellphone service.D. Fake foning is a new discovery.86. What is fake foning?A. A strategy to avoid people.B. A device newly produced.C. A service provided everywhere.D. A skill of communication.87. In the author’s opinion, in order to make fake foning look real one has toA. talk about interesting matters.B. behave politely to people passing by.C. hold the phone while walking.D. appear absorbed in conversation.88. What does the last example show?A. One effective way is to fake fone one’s doctor.B. One has to be careful while fake foning.C. Fake foning may not deceive people.D. Fake foning is always quite successful.89.

A country's standard of living, ____31_______, depends first and 32 on its capacity to produce wealth. “Wealth” in this sense is not money, for we do not live on money 33 on thing s that money can buy: “goods” such as food and clothing, and “services” such as transport and “ __34 __ ” .A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of 35 have an effect on one another. Wealth depends 36 a great extent upon a country's natural resources. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a fertile soil and a 37 climate; other regions possess none of them.Next to natural resources 38 the ability to turn them to use. China is perhaps as well 39 as the USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years from civil and 40 wars, and 41 this and other reasons was 42 to develop her resources. 43 and stable political conditions, and 44 _____ from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country equally well 45 by nature but less well ordered.A country's standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and consumed 46 it own borders, but also upon what is indirectly produced through international trade. 47 Britain's wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much less if she had to depend only on 48 _ grown at home. Trade makes it possible for her surplus manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products that would 49be lacking. A country’s wealth is, therefore, much influen ced by its manufacturing capacity, 50 that other countries can be found ready to accept its manufactures.31.

While he was studying, however, he made a surprising discovery. This ancient language of India was amazingly similar to Latin and Greek. The Sanskrit word for "mother"—matar—was almost identical to the Latin word, mater. “Father” was pitar in Sanskrit, pater in Latin and Greek. The more he studied, the more similarities he found.How could this be? Thousands of miles and many natural barriers separated India and Europe. Still, Jones concluded, the similarities were too strong to be accidental. In 1786, he announced “No one could examine them all three, without believing them to have sprung from some common source.”Since then, scholars have traced many languages to this “common source.” Today, these languages are called the Indo-European family. But where did this source originate? Language and geography provide the clues. European languages have similar words for the animals and trees of northern Europe, such as oak, willow, bear, and wolf. There are no common words for the animals and trees of southern Europe.To scholars, this suggests that the Indo-European languages began in north central Europe. In time, some northern Europeans set out toward the east, settling in Iran, India, and Pakistan. Others migrated westward toward southern and western Europe. The root language developed into dozensof different languages, but the family resemblances remain. The word for “three” is drei in German, tres in Spanish, tre in Albanian, and tri in Russian.Almost every language in Europe is part of the Indo-European family, but there are exceptions. Hungarian and Finnish cling to other language families. High in the Pyrenees, the Basque people speak a language that has no known relatives. Perhaps the Basques were the original inhabitants of the region. Isolated by mountains, they may have been bypassed by the spread of Indo-European culture.81. What did Sir William Jones discover when he was learning Sanskrit?A. Sanskrit was very similar to some European languages.B. Sanskrit was an ancient language.C. The Sanskrit word for mother is the same as that in Latin.D. Latin and Greek were very similar.82. Which of the following statements is true about "the common source"?A. Jones found out the common source.B. All languages sprang from the common source.C. Only three languages sprang from the common source.D. Since 1786, scholars have traced many languages to the common source.83. Where did the common source originate?A. In southern Europe.B. In north-central Europe.C. In India.D. in Pakistan.84. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Jones first discovered the root language.B. The languages with the common source are called the Indo-European family.C. The root language developed into different languages as people migrated.D. Every language in Europe is part of the Indo-European family.TEXT BYour first culture shock came after you left your home country and you needed to adjust to the United States, It is now important to learn cultural information about your company, so that you will fit in and perform successfully. The people who make up this environment have their own customs, habits and expectations of each new employee. Gathering information that is formal (policy) and informal (traditions) will help you learn the professional norms and become fully accepted.Policies are corporate documents describing procedures, rules, and standards that guide decision making and conduct. They are similar to official laws that govern a country. Some sources of such written company information include the annual report, product or service brochures, technical and procedural manual, employee directory and the company newsletter. Organizational traditions are usually unwritten hut common practices that have evolved over time. They set the tone and philosophy of the particular corporation, just as the customs of a country do. The best way to learn such information is to observe and talk with others such as your supervisor and co-workers.You can supplement ideas from formal introductory materials given you earlier. Explore with fellow employees those behaviors that may be tolerated but frowned upon. Ask your supervisor for feedback to avoid typical traps that could cause your co-workers to reject you as a professional.Keep this guide nearby, and refer to it often in private. Reviewing formal company procedures, handouts, written notes, ideas, comments from bosses and colleagues, together with materials in this handbook, will help you make a more healthy cultural adjustment.85. What is the purpose to learn cultural information?A. To know the U. S. A. better.B. To work better in the new environment.C. To make more money.D. To improve one's English.86. According to the passage, ___________ is not the policy's function.A. describing procedures, rules and standardsB. governing a countryC. helping to guide decision making and conductD. writing down the company's information87. ____________ is the best way to learn the organizational traditions.A. To read the policiesB. To study the philosophyC. To study a country's customsD. To observe and communicate with the colleagues and boss.88. How to make a more healthy cultural adjustment?A. Read this passage often.B. Discuss the organizational culture with your colleagues.C. Gather and review the formal and informal information in the corporation.D. Ask your boss for help.89. The passage is written to ___________.A. help readers to understand the organization's cultureB. explain the culture shockC. analyze the policies and traditionsD. help readers to work better with their supervisor and co-workersTEXT C“White hostility toward African Americans, and the resulting discrimination, have bee n fueled by a sense of threat. During slavery, many working-class whites, encouraged by slaveholders, feared the release of large numbers of blacks into the labor market and society in general. When northern industries used African Americans as strikebreakers in the first decades of this century, white workers feared the loss of their jobs. Today, many white Americans fear “black violence”. Moreover, specific fears about the “costs” of welfare as well as the "taking" of jobs through affirmative action have added to the fear of black violence.These fears have translated into negative stereotypes of African Americans as a people who are prone to crime and violence, unwilling to work, and a drain on the white taxpayer through their welfare dependency. In turn, these stereotypes have been used to justify informal discrimination, to prevent the help to the urban poor, to be negligent in enforcing laws or policies prohibiting discriminatory practices against black workers, and most important, to hesitate in making a seriouseffort at job creation for African Americans. The result is that African Americans’ share of valued resources has not increased much over the last two decades, even as formal discrimination has been greatly lessened. This fact is used to further the negative belief that African Americans have "not taken advantage of their equal opportunities."90. According to the passage, how did the northern industries make use of African Americans in 1900s?A. Sent them to ask the strikers to go back to work.B. Made them work very hard.C. Employed them to threaten the white strikers.D. Released them into the labor market.91. What is the ill influence of these negative stereotypes?A. Giving help to the poor black.B. Justifying informal discrimination.C. Enforcing laws prohibiting discriminatory practices against black workers.D. Creating opportunities of employment for the black.92. What can be inferred from "a drain on the white taxpayer" about the African Americans?A. They are unwilling to work.B. They never pay tax.C. They lack security.D. Their welfare depends on the white's tax.93. The author wrote the passage to tell us__________.A. African Americans pose a threat to the whites in employmentB. African Americans are dependent on the tax paid by the whitesC. African Americans are discriminated against because they are often on strikeD. the sense of threat intensifies the white's hospitality and discrimination against the African AmericansTEXT D“People thought of themselves as having rights from companies,” said Hoshua Freeman, a labor historian at Columbia University. That sense of entitlement grew even stronger in the early decades after World War II and collective bargaining became the arena for arguing out wages, pensions, health insurance, vacations, hours and job security.That system is disappearing today. Career-long attachments to one employer, a notion born in the 1920's, are no longer the .norm. The new class-consciousness makes less distinction between workers and managers. Rights are relative, at best. An increasingly conservative electorate has reduced government's role in regulating the economy. Unions have lost influence and membership.What people do is try to cope, by themselves, said Ms. Skelly, of DYG. Self-employment is one solution, DYG's polls show, and that is a rising trend. "They try, on the job, to hide any weakness in their performance," she said. “They work longer hours and take work home, without letting the boss know, to give the impression that they can do diffic ult tasks quickly. There is nothing like, ‘we are all in this together.’ There is too much competition. People talk of their weakness to friends and spouses, but not to coworkers.”And many Americans feel in their hearts that the unemployment might be just ified. “There is a sense among people that we are inefficient and bloated,” Ms. Skelly said. “And until they feel that is no longer true, they are reluctant to criticize the forces that are cutting out the fat and the inefficiencies.”94. It can be inferred from the second paragraph that ___________.A. people do not enjoy their rights nowadaysB. people are more likely to change their jobs than they were in the 1920'sC. workers and managers share the same rights todayD. nowadays, people refuse to take part in the Union95. According to Ms Skelly, which of the following is true?A. People like to work overtime.B. People want to work at home.C. People want to impress the boss with their capability and efficiency.D. People need help from their families, for they cannot cope with difficult problems themselves.96. People hide their weakness from___________.A. their parentsB. their wives or husbandsC. their friendsD. their colleagues97. The main idea of the passage is___________.A. people thought of themselves as having rights from companiesB. people's sense of entitlement is not as strong as it used to beC. people work at homeD. people regard unemployment as usualTEXT EYou may not have thought of it just this way, but the letter you write is part of you, and expression of your personality. Therefore to write letters that are mere patterns of form is to present a colorless personality.Letters, by their very nature, are too individual to be standardized. A letter may be absolutely perfect according to the standards of good taste and good form; but unless it also expresses something of the writer's personality, it is not a good letter.In other words, don't be satisfied to write letters that are just correct and nothing more. Try to write letters that are correct for you... letters that are warm and alive with reflections of your own personality.And if this sounds like a platitude (陈词滥调), stop for a moment and think back over your recent correspondence. What was the most interesting letter you received? Was it a letter anyone could have written? Or was it a letter that instantly “came alive” as you read it—that brought the personality of the sender right into the room with you. as though you were face to face, listening instead of reading?The fault with too many letters, today as in the past—the reason so many letters are dull and lifeless, and often fail to accomplish the purpose for which they are written is simply this: Theysound exactly like the letters everyone else writes. They are neither exciting to receive nor stimulating to read.98. What does the author mean by saying “the letter you write is part of you”?A. Writing letters plays an important part in your life.B. When you write letters, you should be careful about what to write.C. People can see your personality from the letters you write.D. You should write good letters.99. What does the author want to explain in the fourth paragraph?A. A good letter presents one's personality.B. His opinion is a platitude.C. Letter-writing is interesting.D. Talking face to face is a better way to communicate than writing letters.100. The best title for the passage is___________.A. Letter WritingB. Personality in Letter WritingC. To Write Interesting LettersD. To Write Correct Letters PART VI WRITING [45 MIN] SECTION A COMPOSITION[35 MIN]We all know that men and women play different roles in modern society, and that they differ in many ways, such as how to perceive the world, how to tackle problems and how to approach people.

Cutbacks in federal programs for Indians have made their problems32more severe in recent years. Josephy reports，“331981 it was estimated that cutbacks in federal programs for Indians totaled about $500 million” or more than ten times the cuts affecting their34fellow Americans. Additional cuts seem to be threatened in the future. This reduced funding is affecting almost all 35of reservation life，36education. If the Indians could 37their38problems，solutions to many of their other problems might not be far behind. In this paper the current status of Indian education will be described and39and some ways of improving this education will be proposed.Whether to40with the dominant American culture or to 41Indian culture has been a longstanding issue in Indian education. After the Civil War full responsibility for Indian education was turned over by the government to churches and missionary groups. The next fifty years became a period of42assimilation in all areas of Indian culture，but especially in religion and education. John Collier，a reformer who agitated43Indians and their culture 44the early 1920s until his death in 1968，had a different idea. He believed that instead of effacing native culture，Indian schools should encourage and45it.Pressure to assimilate remains a potent force today，46. More and more Indians are graduating from high school and college and becoming47for jobs in the non-Indian society. “ When Indians obtain the requisite skills，many of them enter the broader American society and succeed. ”48 approximately 90 percent of all Indian children are educated in state public school systems.How well these children compete with the members of the dominant society，49，is another50.31.
