They move from town to city to suburb, from high school to college in a different state, from a job in one region to a better job elsewhere, from the home where they raise their children to the home where they plan to live in retirement. With each move they are forever making new friends, who become part of their life at that time. For many of them summer is a special time for forming new friendships. Today millions of Americans vacation abroad, and they go not only to see new sights but also with the hope of meeting new people. No one really expects a vacation trip to produce aclose friend, but the beginning of a friendship is possible. The word “ friend” can be applied to a wide range of friendship—to someone one has known for a few weeks in a new place,to a fellow worker, to a childhood playmate, to a man or woman, to a trusted confidant(知己).41．Many Americans move from place to place for the following reasons except______.A．going to collegeB．getting a better jobC．finding a place to live in retirementD．saving money正确答案：D42．Summer is a special time when many Americans______.A．enjoy the sunlightB．feel strangeC．travel to other countriesD．get a new job正确答案：C43．When summer comes, many Americans______.A．hope to meet new peopleB．expect to find some close friendsC．want to begin lasting friendships with new peopleD．both A and B正确答案：A44．From the passage it can be seen that a “friend” can be______.A．a fellow workerB．a football teammateC．a boy or a girlD．all of the above正确答案：D45．Which of the following is the topic sentence of the second paragraph?A．For many of them summer is a special time for forming new friendships.B．Today millions of Americans vacation abroad.C．No one really expects a vacation trip to produce a close friend.D．But surely the beginning of friendship is possible.正确答案：ATechnology is the application of knowledge to production. Thanks to modern technology, we have been able to increase greatly the efficiency of our work force. New machines and new methods have helped cut down time and expenses while increasing overall output. This has meant more production and a higher standard of living. For most of us in America, modern technology is thought of as the reason why we can have cars and television sets. However, technology has also increased the amount of food available to us by means of modern farming machinery and animal-breeding techniques, and has extended our life span via medical technology. Will mankind continue to live longer and have a higher quality of life? In large measure the answer depends on technology and our ability to use it wisely. If we keep making progress as we have over the past fifty years, the answer is definitely yes. The advancement of technology depends upon research and development, and the latest statistics show that the United States is continuing to pump billions of dollars annually into such efforts. So while we are running out of some scarce resources, we may well find technological substitutes for many of them through our research programs. Therefore, in the final analysis the three major factors of production(land, labor, capital)are all influenced by technology. When we need new skills or techniques in machinery, people will start developing new technology to meet these needs. As equipment proves to be slow or inefficient, new machines will be invented. Technology responds to our needs in helping us maintain our standard of living.46．What is the best title for the passage?______.A．The Definition of TechnologyB．Modern TechnologyC．The Application of TechnologyD．The Development of Technology正确答案：B47．Modern technology provides us with a lot of benefits except______.A．more production and a higher standard of livingB．extended life spanC．a better pumping systemD．more food available正确答案：C48．From the passage, we can infer that this article is probably______.A．a part of the introduction to American businessB．followed by the passage talking about factors of productionC．taken from a learned journalD．both A and B正确答案：D49．Which is the main idea of the passage?A．Modern technology is the key to the improvement of standard of living.B．The three major factors of production—land, labor and capital are all influenced by technology.C．Technology is the response to our needs.D．The United States is making great efforts to advance its technology.正确答案：A50．According to the passage, people can live a long life with the help of______.A．higher quality of lifeB．medical technologyC．modern farming machineryD．technological substitute正确答案：BThe earth is much cooler than the sun, and the wave length of the earth’ s radiations is much longer than that of sunrays. These longer heat waves cannot pass through the atmosphere as easily as the short waves coming from the sun. Similarly, radio stations that transmit programs to distant countries broadcast in short waves, which can travel all around the world. Stations that broadcast local programs send out longer waves, which can be received more easily, but only in a limited area. Heat waves, rising from the earth, meet resistance in the atmosphere from the water vapor there. Many if the waves are stopped by the water vapor can not get back out into space. The atmosphere, when it is warmed up, also adds some heat back to the earth’ s surface. When the sun’s rays strike water surface, some of the water becomes absorbed by the air as water vapor. The warmer the air is, the more vapor it can hold. When the air has absorbed its maximum amount of vapor, it is said to be saturated. If the air is then cooled, some of the vapor will condense and clouds will form. These clouds will contain drops of water at temperatures above freezing, or ice crystals at temperatures below freezing. Clouds can greatly affect the temperature of the earth’ s surface. When there are many clouds in the sky, all of the sun’ s rays can not reach the earth. The cloudy day, then, will be cooler than the cloudless day. Clouds also prevent the earth from cooling off rapidly at night. For this reason, countries such as the British Isles, which are often covered by clouds, have a relatively constant temperature. The weather in these cloudy areas is neither very hot in summer nor verycold in winter. On the other hand, places such as deserts, which have few or no clouds, have very sharp variations in temperature—between night and day as well as between summer and winter.51．Radio stations that transmit programs to distant countries send out waves that resemble______.A．heat waves rising from the earthB．waves absorbed by water vaporC．waves sent out by radio stations that transmit local programsD．the rays sent out from the sun正确答案：D52．Air can hold more water vapor______.A．when it is warmB．when it is coolC．in summerD．in winter正确答案：A53．The sun’ s rays are absorbed by______.A．cloudsB．the heat waves in the atmosphereC．the surface of the earthD．water vapor正确答案：C54．When there are clouds, days tend to be______.A．warmer than when it is clearB．cooler than when it is clearC．the same as when it is clearD．the same as nights正确答案：B55．If a country has a relatively constant temperature, it would probably be ___.A．in a mountainous regionB．frequently cloudyC．having as many sunny days as cloudy daysD．one in which there is no winter正确答案：BEducation is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them; our purpose is to fit them for life. As soon as we realize this fact, we will understand that it is very important to choose a system of education which will really prepare children for life. It is not enough just to choose the first system of education one finds, or to continue with one’s old system of education without examining it to see whether it is in fact suitable or not. In many modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that, by free education for all—whether rich or poor, clever or stupid—one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough;we find it in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees than there are jobs for them to fill. Because of their degrees, they refuse to do what they think”low”work; and, in fact, work with the hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than the work of a professor—we can live without education, but we will die if we have no food. In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever job is suited to his brain and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed of one’ s work, or to scorn someone else’ s. Only such a type of education can be called valuable to society.56．The first sentence of this passage means that______.A．education is not the purpose of lifeB．education is a way of lifeC．education is to make people suitable for lifeD．education is not fit for children正确答案：A57．Free education for all is not enough, because______.A．it can not solve all the problems of societyB．there are not enough jobs for those who have degreesC．degrees are uselessD．people with degrees are ashamed of their jobs正确答案：B58．The writer of this passage thinks that______.A．work with hands is dirtyB．food is more important than educationC．education is not necessary for some peopleD．it is better to be a completely uneducated farmer正确答案：B59．We must be educated in such a way that______.A．we can choose whatever job we likeB．we can do all kinds of jobsC．each of us can do a good jobD．each of us can do some work that is useful to society正确答案：D60．How can education be valuable to society?A．Education should be free for all.B．Education should bring up people able and willing to do jobs necessary to society.C．Education should make people accept low jobs.D．Education should examine people’ s ability.正确答案：BClozeWomen in the United States and many other countries【C1】______in a growing number of sports and games.

Have you ever had to decide whether to go shopping 22 watch TV at home on a weekend? Now you can do 23 at the same time. Home shopping television networks have become a way for many people to shop 24 staying at home.Some shoppers are 25 of department stores and shopping malls—fighting the crowds, waiting in long lines, and sometimes not even finding 26 they want to buy. They'd rather 27 quietly at home in front of the TV set and watch a friendly announcer describe an item. And they can shop all day and night, 28 an item simply by making a phone call. Home shopping has become 29 popular that major fashion designers and large department stores are eager to join 30 the business.

I have been a boarder with the Carsons for more than a year and a half.The Carsons live in their own house, which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement (底层) which I live in. Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden. When they go out in the evening, they often ask me to look after their children.Judy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, lived in another city. Judy was their only child and naturally they doted on (宠爱) Judy's children. They often sent the children presents.Last April Mr. Morris died. Now that Mrs. Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them. One day, Margaret told me grandma was coming to live with them and her daddy and mummy would want my room back. The news didn't surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and asked her about it. I said I couldn't think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs. Morris. Judy seemed surprised at first. Then she told me there was no need for me to move, for they hadn't yet come to any decision about her mother coming to live with them. "Naturally I'm worried about my mother. She has been in poor health." She smiled sadly and added. "To be honest, Andrew and my mother have never got on well. We'll wait a bit and see what happens. Perhaps Mother will be all right living herself,or perhaps they will both change their minds."That was six months ago.

The BoarderC. Family Relationships in CanadaD. Nursing Homes and the Aged Passage 2Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Beijing, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous.The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as a zebra crossing. They are more efficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Beijing has spent a large amount of money on building these bridges. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by dashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.41、 What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?A. Taller trucks can pass under them.B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C. They are safer for pedestrians and can keep traffic moving at the same time.D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.42、 Why were overhead bridges built in Beijing?A. Because they prevent traffic from being held up.B. Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C. Because they save money for the government.D. Because they save time for the pedestrians.43、 Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Overhead bridges are found in every part of Beijing.B. Overhead bridges are only found in the centre of Beijing.C. Overhead bridges are found in many parts of big cities in China.D. Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.44、 The underlined words "a zebra crossing" probably mean ______.A. a safe place across a road for pedestrians to walk across the roadB. a wild animal from Africa that looks like a horse with broad dark brown and white stripes on its bodyC. a safe place across a road for zebras to walk across the roadD. a safe place across a road for children to play a game45、 What is the writer's attitude towards overhead bridges?A. It is inconvenient to older people to walk across the road.B. It is much safer for pedestrians though climbing up and down the steps may be a little difficult.C. An overhead bridge is more beautiful than a zebra crossing.D. To build overhead bridges is the business of the government. Passage 3There was a time when, if a lady got into a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer his seat. But now, things are different. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or if he feels a bit shy, hide behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off.You can't entirely blame men for this change in manners, though. Gone are the days when women could be referred to as weakers without causing trouble.A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men, not just equality in jobs or education, but in social life. Hold a door open for some women and you are likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as weakers unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for meal and she'll probably insist on paying her share of the bill. On second thoughts, that is perhaps not a bad idea.It's no wonder, then that men have given up some ways of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, the man's active politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings, rather than as weakers or something that can be used to please men.46、 Today, when a lady gets on a crowed bus or train, a gentleman would probably ______.A. stand up and offer her his seatB. read his newspaperC. look out of the windowD. not stand up and offer her his seat47、 What men do towards women on a crowded bus or train today is ______.A. really badB. strange enoughC. not entirely wrongD. entirely wrong48、 The new generation of women wants to be ______.A. treated not as the weaker sexB. treated as the weaker sexC. cared for on buses and trainsD. better treated than before49、 According to the passage, which of the following is Not correct?A. Some women may get angry if you open the door for them.B. Girls don't want you to pay for meal at all.C. Some women may criticize you if you show too much politeness to them.D. A girl may be unhappy if you insist on paying her share of the bill.50、 From this passage, we know that ______.A. women need true consideration of their needs and feelingsB. men have given up some politeness they used to show to womenC. women often get angry if you're polite to themD. women should stand in the bus or trainPassage 4"Family" is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of "family" in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life.For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one's parents and starting one's own life. The man's first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife's to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife's parents nor the husband's, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.Readers of novels like Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families was arranged by the girl's parents, that is, it was the parents' duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents' home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry (嫁妆). It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results: a girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.51、 What does the author mean by "'Family' is of course an elastic word"?A. Different families have different ways of life.B. Different definitions could be given to the word.C. Different nations have different families.D. Different times produce different families.52、 For an English family, the husband's duty is ______.A. supporting the family while the wife is financialB. defending the family while the wife is running the homeC. financial while the wife is running the homeD. independent while the wife is dependent53、 Everything is decided in a family ______.A. by the coupleB. with the help of their parentsC. by brothers and sistersD. with the help of aunts and uncles54、 What is TRUE concerning the book Pride and Prejudice?A. It is the best book on marriage.B. It is a handbook of marriage.C. It gives quite some ideas of English social life in the past.D. It provides a lot of information of former time wealthy families.55、 With regard to marriage in Britain, present day girls differ from former time girls in ______.A. the right to marryB. more parental supportC. choosing husbandsD. social positionⅣ．Writing56、Directions: For this part, you are required to write a composition on the topic "The Adaptation of The Classics".

专升本英语模拟试题四专升本英语模拟试题（四）模拟试题（四）Part I Reading Comprehension (40％35minutes)Directions:In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by anumber of comprehension questions. Read the passage and choosethe best answer to each question. Then, mark your answer byblackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Do you find getting up in the morning so diffic ult that it’s painful? This might be called lazines s, but Dr Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. Time of day wh en you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No ore has disc overed why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (独白) as: “Get up, John! You’11 be l ate for wor k again!” Much family quarreling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better Habit can he lp, Dr Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habituallystaying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour This won’t change your cycle, but you’11 get up steam and work better at your low point. Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of th e bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes b y laying them out the night before for your sharper hours.1. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably _________.A. he is a lazy personB. he refuses to follow his own energy cycleC. he is not sure when his energy is lowD. he is at his peak in the afternoon or evening2. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according tothe passage?A. Unawareness of energy cycles.B. Familiar monologues.C. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.D. Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.3. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point the morning, he should__________.A. change his energy cycleB. overcome his lazinessC. get up earlier than usualD. go to bed earlier4. You arc advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will _______.A. help to keep your energy for the day’s workB. help you to control your temper early in the dayC. enable you to concentrate on your routine workD. keep your energy cycle under control all day5. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save one’s energy.B. Dr Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hoursof dayC. Habit helps one adapt to his own energy cycleD. Children have energy cycles, tooQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Another thing to remember in connection with concrete is that you are not allowed very much lee way (余地) for errors in either measurements or location. Once you have a solid mass of concrete set i n place, it is going to stay there. You have a difficult job ahead of you if you try to remedy a mistak e. Make very sure, before you fill the form, that everything is where and how you want it.There are numerous rules regarding the proper mixing, handling, and finishing of concrete, but the essential one concerns the amount of water to use. The less water in the mix, the less the finished jo b will shrink. The less water used, the harder and more enduring the job after it has set.The amateur concrete worker is annoyed with two desires. One is to use enough water to have th e concrete nice and soft and easy to push around. You have been warned against that.The second is t o take off the wooden forms too early, to see what the job 1ooks like. That is really fatal. If the form s are stripped off too soon, while the concrete is still “green”, two things are likely to cause a major c rack or defect in the body of the work. An excellent rule is to wait until you are sure the concrete is properly hardened, and then wait another day before removing the forms.6. The best title for this passage would be ________.A. Rules for Working with ConcreteB. Concrete and Its Uses childrenC. Concrete, the Homeowner’s JoyD. Concrete, a Test of Charaeter7. Two of the main thoughts in this passage are (1) preparation of forms forthe concrete must be thorough, and (2) forms must be allowed to remainon long enough. The third main idea is _________.A. taking off forms beforehand will probably cause a crack in the body ofthe workB. trying to make changes after concrete has been poured is notrecommendedC. mixing concrete properly will make it very hard and strongD. using as little water as possible is recommended8. In mixing concrete, one of the desires the amateur must resist is to ______.A. break off a corner to see if the “green” has goneB. leave the form on too longC. strip off the forms a day after the concrete has properlyhardenedD. use too much water9. A human quality apparently not essential in someone who works withconcrete is ________.A. carefulnessB. patienceC. self-controlD. inventiveness10. By the concrete being too “green”, the author means that the concrete has__________.A. dried outB. hardenedC. not yet curedD. not crackedQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:If women are mercilessly (无情地) exploited year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores Clothes which have been worn only a f ew times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a women is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe (衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing s adly that she has nothing to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vas t sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford t o throw away clothing in this way, waste hours oftheir time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; necklines are lowered or raised. and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用). They are o nly interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn’t at som e time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow 1i1 high heeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvio us. Do the constantly changing fashions of women’s clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inco nstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That Is for you to decide.11. Designers and big stores always make money ________.A. by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industryB. because they are capable of predicting new fashionsC. by co nstantly changing the fashions in women’s clothi ngD. because they attach great importance to quality in women’s clothing12. To the writer, the fact that women alter their old-fashioned dresses is seenas _________.A. a waste of moneyB. a waste of timeC. an expression of tasteD. an expression of creativity13. The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress onthe _________ of clothing.A. costB. appearanceC. comfortD. suitability14. New fashions in clothing are created for _________.A. the commercial exploitation of womenB. the women’s strength of characterC. basic qualities of inconstancy and instabilityD. an important contribution to society15. By saying “the conclusions to be drawn are obvious” (Line One, ParagraphFour) the writer means that __________.A. women’s inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed atB. women are better able to put up with discomfortC. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designersD. men are more reasonable in the matter of fashionQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:The black robin (知更鸟) is one of the world’s rarest birds It is a small, wild bird, and it lives onl y on the island of Little Mangere, off the coast of New Zealand. In 1967 there were about 50 black ro bins there; in 1977 there were fewer than ten. These are the only black robins left in the world. The is land has many other birds, of course, of dif．ferent kinds, large and small; theyseem to multiply very happily.Energetic (有力的, 积极的) steps are being taken to preserve the black robin-to guard those remain ing and to increase their number. Detailed studies are going on, and a public appeal for money has bee n made. The idea is to buy another island nearby as a special home, a “reserve”, for threatened wild li fe, including black robins. The organizers say that Little Mangere should then be restocked with the rob in’s food-it eats only one kind of seed-and so renewed for it. Thousands of the required plants are at p resent being cultivated in New Zealand. The public appeal is aimed at the conscience of mankind, so th at the wild black robin will not die out and disappear from the earth in our time at least.In the earth’s long, long past hundreds of kinds of creatures have evolved, risen to a degree of su ccess-and died out. In the long, long future there will he many new and different forms of life. Those creatures that adapt themselves successfully to what the earth offers will survive for a long time. Those that fail to meet the challenges will disappear early. That is Nature’s proven method of operation.The rule of selection-“survival of the fittest” is the one by which man has himself arrived on the s cene.Life seems to have grown too tough for black robins16. The black robin is dying out mainly because _________.A. people have been very careless about its survivalB. its only food is becoming exhausted on Little MangereC. the other birds on the island have destroyed itD. the appeal for money has come at the wrong time17. The success of other small birds on Little Mangere shows thatA. the island cannot have very much food 1efB. something has to die out, they can’t all be winnersC. the big birds have all been attacking the black robinD. the robin has failed to meet the challenges of life18. As regards selection and survival, the decisive factor seems to be _______.A. the ability to adapt to changed or changing conditionsB. the number of wild life reserves that are availableC. the concern and generosity (慷慨) of the publicD. the size of the home, or the amount of space one has to live m19. The evidence seems to suggest that _________.A. it is a disaster for everyone when one kind of bird dies outB. all creatures are concerned about the survival of othersC. Nature expects and accepts the dying out of weaker breedsD. man is to blame when such a thing happens20. The writer’s attitude towards the protection of the black robins is _______.A. activeB. passiveC. indifferentD. pessimisticPart II Vocabulary and Structure(20％25 minutes)Directions: Each of the following sentences is provided with four choices.Choose the one that best completes the sentence.

Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A,B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWhen you imagine the desert,you probably think of a very hot place covered with sand. Although this is a good description for many deserts, Earth' s largest desert is actually a very cold place covered with ice: Antarctica.In order for an area to be considered a desert, it must receive very little rainfall. More specifically, it must receive an average of less than ten inches of precipitation--which can be rain,sleet, hail, or snow--on the ground every year. Antarctica, the coldest place on earth, has an average temperature that usually falls below the freezing point. And because cold air holds less moisture than warm air, the air in Antarctica does not hold much moisture at all. This is evident in the low precipitation statistics recorded for Antarctica. For example, the central part of Antarctica receives an average of less than two inches of snow every year. The coastline of Antarctica receives a little bit more--between seven and eight inches a year. Because Antarctica gets solittle precipitation every year, it is considered a desert.When precipitation falls in hot deserts, it quickly evaporates back into the atmosphere. The airover Antarctica is too cold to hold water vapor, so there is very little evaporation. Due to this low rate of evaporation, most of the snow that falls to the ground remains there permanently, eventually building up into thick ice sheets. Any snow that does not freeze into ice sheets becomes caught up in the strong winds that constantly blow over Antarctica. These snow-filled winds can make it look as if it is snowing. Even though snowfall is very rare there, blizzards are actually very common on Antarctica.36. The main purpose of paragraph 1 is toA. accept a conclusionB. introduce an argumentC. provide a brief historyD. deny a common belief37. The best title for this passage would beA. Earth's Many DesertsB. Antarctica: The Coldest Place on EarthC. A Desert of IceD. Unusual Blizzards38. Africa' s Sahara Desert is the second-largest desert on earth. Basedon the information in the passage ,what characteristic must the Sahara share with Antarctica?A. Low temperatures.B. High temperatures.C. Frequent blizzards.D. Low precipitation.39.

Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940,the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats. Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals.Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task. They did notlimit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling intonarrow passages in the Lascaux complex.Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside.Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated and are barely recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963,23 years after it was discovered.44. Based on the passage, what is probably true about the south of France?A. It is home to rare animals.B. It has a large number of caves.C. It is known for horse-racing events.D. It has attracted many famous artists.45. According to the passage, which animals appear most often on the cave walls?A. Birds.B. Bison.C. Horses.D. Wild cats.46. Why was painting inside the Lascaux complex a difficult task?A. It was completely dark inside.B. The caves were full of wild animals.C. Painting materials were hard to find.D. Many painting spaces were difficult to reach.47. According to the passage, all of the following have caused damage to the paintings EXCEPTA. temperature changesB. air movementC. waterD. lightPassage FourGold used in jewelry is mixed with harder metals to add strength and durability. The metals added can also be used to change gold' s color, giving it a fashionable rose or white tint, or to lighten or darken the natural yellow tone of pure gold. Mixtures like these, of less costly metals with more valuable ones, are called alloys. Copper and silver are the most common metals mixed with gold to make yellow gold jewelry. White gold is usually made with an alloy of gold and nickel.The measure of gold' s purity is called a karat. The higher the karat rating, the higher the amountof pure gold: 24 karat is pure gold, 15 karat is 75% pure gold, 14 karat is 58.5% pure gold, and 9karat is 37.5% pure gold. All other things being equal, the higher thepercentage of pure gold used in the alloy, the more valuable and expensive the jewelry will be.Gold jewelry pieces are usually stamped with a marking to identify the karat amount. While goldthat is 24K is too soft for jewelry, 18K, 14K and 9K gold are all appropriate for jewelry, and they allmake pieces that look great and wear beautifully.48. Which of the following statements best captures the main idea of this passage?A. Although gold is very valuable, it is also very expensive.B. Gold jewelry is stamped with its karat weight.C. Gold jewelry is made using alloys.D. Colored gold is more valuable than white gold.49. Based on information in the passage, it can be understood that pure gold isA. not used to make ringsB. stamped with 100KC. an alloy of different metalsD. colorless50. According to the passage, the use of other metals in gold alloys Ⅰ. can be used to make the gold different colorⅡ. makes jewelry more expensiveⅢ. makes gold more flexibleA. I onlyB. I and Ⅱ onlyC. Ⅱ and Ⅲ onlyD. I , Ⅱ ,and Ⅲ51. Which of the following statements best explains the relationship between gold and its karat rating?A. The lower the karat rating,the purer the gold.B. The higher the karat rating,the more expensive the gold.C. The higher the karat rating,the less valuable the mixture.D. The lower the karat rating,the purer the alloy.Passage FiveIt is bad to have food stuck between your teeth for long periods of time. This is because foodattracts germs, germs produce acid ,and acid hurts your teeth and gums. Flossing helps to remove the food that gets stuck between your teeth. This explains why flossing helps to keep your mouth healthy, but some doctors say that flossing can be also good for your heart.It may seem strange that something you do for your teeth can have any effect on your heart.Doctors have come up with a few ideas about how flossing works to keep your heart healthy. One idea is that the germs that hurt your teeth canleave the mouth and travel into your blood. Germs that get into the blood can then attack your heart. Another idea is based on the fact that when there are too many germs in your mouth, the body tries to fight against these germs. For some reason, the way the body fights these mouth germs may end up weakening the heart over time.Not every doctor agrees about these ideas. Some doctors think that the link between good flossing habits and good heart health is only a coincidence. A coincidence is the occurrence of two or more events at one time apparently by mere chance. The incidence of these events is completely random, as they do not admit of any reliable cause and effect relationship between them. For example, every time I wash my car, it rains. This does not mean that when I wash my car, I somehow change the weather. This is only a coincidence.The theory that flossing your teeth helps to keep your heart healthy might not be true. But everydoctor agrees that flossing is a great way to keep your teeth healthy. So even if flossing does not help your heart, it is sure to help your teeth. This is enough of a reason for everyone to floss their teeth every day.52. Flossing effectively helps to keep your mouth healthy by preventingA. germs from producing acidB. food from entering your bodyC. germs from entering into your bloodD. acid from contacting your teeth and gums53. In paragraph 2, the author explains how having too many germs in your mouth can “end upweakening the heart. " Using the passage as a guide, it can be understood that doctors areA. reluctant to hypothesizeB. confident in their estimationsC. extremely knowledgeableD. uncertain but speculative54. Using information in paragraph 3 as a guide, which of the following is the best example of acoincidence?A. Jim wakes up with a sore throat. He eats a piece of bacon for breakfast. By noon, he feelsmuch better. Jim decides that the bacon has cured his sore throat.B. Laura remembers to brush her teeth every day, but she only remembers to floss once a week.She writes a note to herself, reminding herself to floss and sticks it to her bathroom mirror.C. Mario is not very good at baseball. He practices playing every day. After a several months ofpractice, he is a much better baseball player.D. Jai has a bad heart. Her doctor tells her to eat more vegetables and less junk food. After nearlya year of doing this, the doctor tells Jai that her heart is doing much better.55. Which of the following best states the main idea of the final paragraph?A. Because doctors do not agree that flossing wilt help your heart, it is useless to floss.B. It is a fact that flossing can help your heart as well as your teeth.C. Even if flossing is only good for your teeth, you should still do it every day.D. There is no good reason to believe that flossing will help your heart, but it is still a good idea todo it every day.V.

This income is used to pay regular and day-to-day expenses such as rent, food, movies, gasoline, newspapers, haircuts, and so on. But sup-pose a person is faced with an unexpected expense too big to be paid out of current income, it may be an illness or costly household repairs. In Frank and Sandy Dexter's case, the roof on their house had to be replaced. They did not have enough savings to cover the cost, so they borrowed the money needed. They then repaid the loan with small and regular payment out of their future income. By using credit, they avoided what might have been a serious hardship.Credit also enables consumers to buy goods and services when they need them most. For example, when does a married couple most need a house? While their children are young and living at home. It would take most couples many years to save enough money to pay cash for a house. By then, their children would be grown, and the house would not be needed so much. In the meanwhile, they would have to continue paying rent out of current income. By using credit, a couple can buy a house and live n it while they pay for it. The money they would otherwise spend for rent could go to the payment.What is true of houses is true of many goods that consumers buy today, such as appliances, automobiles, and furniture. By using credit, consumers can "buy now and pay later" as the ads say. They have the use of the goods while paying for them.

While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few — for example, the average among students is about 6 per person.Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term "friendship." In all cases, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their interest in each other vary greatly.At the beginning, much depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions. As we get to know people, we consider things like age, race, looks, economic and social status, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of the greatest importance, it is more difficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background.We pay attention to actual behavior, facial expression, and the way a person speaks. Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary acquaintances. Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in making friends.A friendly look with the wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare, and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness. People who do not look one in the eye are not trusted when, in fact, they simply do not have confidence.Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have the same ideas and beliefs, the same opinions and interests — they often talk about "being on the same wavelength." The more closely involved people become, the more they depend on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to let them down. Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with annoying habits, and to accept differences in opinion. Imagine going on a long trip with someone you occasionally meet for a drink!In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people. But the mutual support and understanding that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a close and lasting relationship, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.25 Which of the following factors are very important in developing friendships?（A）Age and background.（B）Economic and social positions.（C）Race and looks.（D）Same interests and behavior.26 The passage tells us that sometimes a face with the wrong expression could be mistaken as a sign of______.（A）nervousness（B）confidence（C）unfriendliness（D）distrust27 When people talk about "being on the same wavelength," they mean that______.（A）they watch the same TV programs（B）they are the same in all respects（C）they listen to the same radio programs（D）they understand and agree with each other28 We learn from the passage that______.（A）friendship can overcome differences in experience（B）there are no special ceremonies to strengthen friendship（C）putting up with differences in opinion can lead to friendship（D）friendship can be strengthened by smiles and soft voices28 THYSSEN ELEVATORS is one of the leading elevators companies in the world with more than 120 branch companies around the globe.

All the major countries of the world have computers, and the developing countries have also realized that computers play a big part in their economic development.Usually what one sees is a machine that looks like a typewriter; it is called a computer terminal. But computers are also used in unseen ways. For example, they determine how much time there should be between traffic signals to prevent traffic problems and to keep millions of cars moving in an orderly flow. When you buy a car, a factory process that is controlled by a computer enables you to obtain a car with your own choice of colors and special features in just a few weeks' time. In medical laboratories, computers have reduced the mistakes in testing, and they have saved doctors' countless hours of work. Before long, medical histories of all Americans will be kept in computer "bands". If aperson becomes ill far from his home, local doctors will be able to get his medical record immediately. In science, the computer has performed in minutes experiments which would have required thousands of hours of work by human hands and minds.Most experts agree that computers are necessary to solve the problems of increasing population, city living, and public affairs. Without computers, the jobs of solving these problems would require millions of workers to do tons of paperwork. Before any computer can work on any problem, it must be told what to do. Someone must program the computer, step-by-step. At first this was done by having the programmer write out his instructions in the form of numbers which would be "understood" by the machine. Within a short time, attempts were made to perform a system that would enable humans to communicate more easily with machines. Different "languages" were developed by means of which the programmer could use words that had meanings for them, and another program in the machine would translate the words into the computer's number system.Without special training, it is impossible to understand exactly how a computer does its work. However, many people without scientific training use computers in their daily lives. In some American schools, for example, young children are being taught by computers for part of the school day.The use of computers in school has worried some Americans. There are those who fear it will remove human element from teacher-student relationships. On the other hand, there are educators who consider computer program a valuable means of freeing teachers from the more boring and tiring tasks, thus enabling them to spend more time with a single student.In education, as in business and industry, science and medicine, computers play an important part in almost every type of operation. The future will bring major advances in computer technology, which will aid man in his efforts to improve the world.32 The author has written the passage mainly for______.（A）young children（B）experienced operators（C）common readers（D）scientists in the computer field33 Operators of computers should give instructions to work in the form ofprogram______.（A）which are introduced to turn into computers（B）through which computers could process "language"（C）which could tell computers what to do and how to do it（D）all of the above34 The arguments for computer program used in education were that______.（A）computers like toys would attract much attention of school children（B）there are lots of buttons you can press for doing anything at your will（C）computer program would take the place of teachers, turning a school into a computer world（D）computers could give teachers the opportunity to spare time to deal with students respectively35 Which of the following best expresses the main idea of this passage?（A）The world will enjoy the beautiful picture of the computers.（B）Computer technology will change the human life.（C）Computer would work freely in the future.（D）Computer would work with a great memory-storage and at highest speed.二、Cloze35 The Open University was created in 1969 to provide university education for anyone aged 21 or over who wanted it,【36】his or her educational background.

The reasons why the rhythm has been disturbed are many and they range from drugs that are being taken to treat a separate medical condition to anxiety.A sudden change in lifestyle or climate could do it, or just that you’ve fallen into the habit of dozing off(打瞌睡) in front of the television.Certainly the body must have enough sleep. Tests that deprived people of sleep have proved lack of it can cause fairly rapid physical and mental deterioration(恶化). But on the other hand, it doesn’t need too much. So if you’re sleeping in front of the TV, you won’t sleep soundly at night. Similarly, if you’re holidaying in Spain, and spending your days sleeping on the beach, chances are that you’ll be wide awake at bedtime.Of course, the problem for my summer insomniacs is that, despite an almost overwhelming urge to put their heads down on their desks in the afternoons, they aren’t getting any extra sleep to compensate for their wakeful nights. For the worst sufferers I sometimes prescribe(开药方) a mild sleeping pill which, after a few nights, reestablishes the body’s natural sleep rhythm, conditioning it to accept the heat.1. From the passage, insomnia results from ______.A)the interrupting of the ordinary sleep pattern B) being unable to sleepC)keeping awake at night D) drugs to treat a special disease2. Lack of sleep will lead to ______.A.a sudden change in lifestyleB. a good condition in bodyC. the habit of being sleep in front of the televisionD. a quick drop in both body and mind condition3. A mild sleeping pill can help a person well ______.A)spend time sleeping B) recover their normal sleepC) keep awake at night D) compensate for their missing sleep4. The problem for the author’s insomniacs is that they ______.A.can’t make up for the sleepless nights B) sleep in the afternoonC) can have extra sleep at night D) can never sleep well5. It can be inferred that the writer is a ______.A.singer B）sufferer C) doctor D) touristTask 2Child labor- the employment of children in industry, often against their will- has been a problem for many years. Over a hundred years ago, Charles Dickens shocked many of his readers when he described the conditions under which young children worked in British factories. The conditions Dickens described continue almost unchanged today in many parts of the world. The only difference is that today employment of children is confined to small industries and family businesses, such as hotels, restaurants and particularly farms, rather than to large factories.Girls suffer more from child labor practices than boys. Many of them are forced to start work when they are only ten years old. Although the work they are given to do is often light, it is often harmful to the health. Recently, children as young as six years were found to be working in Asian factories, and the children were working from eight to fourteen hours a day in overcrowded and unhealthy working conditions. Sometimes a whole family group is employed, with the payment going to a parent or older relative. The children not only receive nothing or very little for their long hours of work, but also they are prevented from attending school. Therefore, when they become older they are unable to do any other kind of work.The solution to the problem of child labor is clearly better laws to protect young children, greater supervision(监督) of industry and heavier fines for those who break the laws. Only in this way can young boys and girls be allowed to enjoy the most valuable time of their childhood lives.6. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph?A.Children are often willing to work in large factories.B.Most children are working in British factories.C.The working conditions for children have been improved since Dickens’ times.D.Charles Dickens described in his novels the poor working conditions for childlabor.7. The conditions under which young children work___________.A.have improved since a hundred years agoB.are even worse than those a hundred years agoC.are similar to those a hundred years agoD.are exactly the same as those a hundred years ago8. Girls work is ________________.A.not harmful to the health though it is heavyB.not harmful to the health because it is lightC.harmful to the health though it is lightD.harmful to the health because it is heavy9. Young children go to work ______________.A. because they are forced toB. in order to be skillful in a certain kind of workC. in order to earn money for educationD. in order to be paid well10. To solve the problem of child labor, the writer suggests _______.A. punishing lawbreakers with severer fines, improving children’s working conditions, and confining employment of children to light industriesB. improving laws of protecting children’s interests, looking over factories more closely, and punishing lawbreakers with severer finesC. improving laws of protecting children’s interests, giving them lighter work, and raising their paymentD. confining employment of children to small industries and family businesses, looking over factories more closely, and improving the system of educationTask3Intensive research is yielding (产生) important insight into El Nino, a periodic warming of tropical waters in the Pacific that can trigger devastating drought and flooding. Scientists are finding that the phenomenon exists in reverse; some call it La Nina.Typically El Nino, like the calamitous 1982-1983 event that brought misery to places as far apart as Ecuador, Australia, and southern Africa (National Geographic, February 1984), announces itself with strong westerly winds along the Equator (赤道), accompanied by a warm current that usually arrives off western South America around Christmas, which led to its name, Spanish for “the Child”. Ocean fisheries (渔业) suddenly collapse, and coastal deserts reel under torrential rains that sweep away villages.Scientists now believe that between El Nino there often are La Nina: one-or-two-year periods when the surface water of the equatorial Pacific becomes cooler. Experts detected the onset of La Nina in the spring of 1988, leading some to link it to last summer’s drought in the United States, flooding in Bangladesh, and the abnormal cold winter in Alaska and western Canada.The early detection of El Nino and La Nina is an invaluable tool for long-range weather forecasting.11. When El Nino comes, what will happen?A. Strong westerly winds sweep along the Equator.B. A warm current arrives off western South America around Christmas.C. Ocean fisheries will suffer a lot.D. All of the above.12. “El Nino” and “La Nina” are words inA. SpanishB. GreekC. FrenchD. Latin13. Which of the following is true about the La Nina?A. It is the same phenomenon as El Nino.B. It lasts at least three years.C. It happens between El Nino.D. It led to the cold winter in Alaska and western Australia.14. What’s the author’s opinion about the research on El Nino and La Nina?A. Critical.B. Favorable.C. Unsatisfactory.D. Not clear.15. The researchers were aware of La Nina 's existence in .A. 1988B. 1982C. 1983D. 1984第三部分：写作内容：写一封信给某网上销售公司，投诉你在网上购买的CD播放机迟迟没有寄来，昨天收到后又有质量问题，不能正常播放，建议该公司改进服务质量，并要求退换有问题的CD播放机。

The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore more people will hear The Crimea’s music.These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhapsbuy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of a CD.There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too—but making money through sales of their music isn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the music business in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music.Sales of music digitally—to computer, phones and MP3 players rose to＄2 billion in 2022—an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year—yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music on mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases—they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24year olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable income, a product that you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy—usually in the form of cheaply copied CD—has long been an issue for the music business but the Internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music businessWhat is unusua l about the Crimea’s business plan（）A．Their business was given away free on the InternetB．They gave CDs away free in shopsC．They played free concertsD．They charged more for their CDs2、The Crimea hope to make money（）A．through CD salesB．by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC．by selling merchandise on the InternetD．through sales of merchandise in shops3、The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because （）A．people who attend their concerts need themB．they want to make extra moneyC．there are still people who prefer CDs to other formats D．people who fail to attend their concerts need them4、What is true about sales of music over the last year（） A．Overall, sales are up last yearB．Overall, sales are down last yearC．There is no change compared to previous salesD．It is not mentioned in the passage5、What effect has the Internet had on music piracy（）A．It has made it easier to fight piracyB．It has increased the number of pirate CDs availableC．It has made it easier to illegally copy musiD．It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available6、Even plants can run a fever, especially when they’re under attack by insects or disease. But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away—straight up. A decade ago, adapting the infrared（红外线） scanning technologydeveloped for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under attack. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide（杀虫剂） spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which always includes plants that don’t have pest（害虫） problems. Even better, Paley’s Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. An infrared scanner, on a plane flying at 3,000 feet at night, measured the heat sent out by crops. The data was turned into a color-coded map showing where plants were running fevers. Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term supporters were hard to find.But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt about how the technology works. This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, says George Oerther of Texas AM.Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department ofAgriculture, thinks long-distance infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade, but only if Paley finds the financial support which he failed to obtain 10 years ago Plant will run a fever when they are______（）A．sprayed with pesticidesB．facing an infrared scannerC．troubled with insects or diseaseD．having their temperature taken7、In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to ______（）A．draw a color-coded mapB．locate the problem areaC．attract insects and treat diseaseD．estimate the damage to the crops8、Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by ______（）A．making use of spot-sprayingB．transforming poisoned rainC．consulting infrared scanning expertsD．detecting crop problems at an early stage9、The difficulty in applying infrared scanning technology to agriculture is ______（）A．its high costB．the financial problemC．the decreased productionD．the lack of official support10、The passage mainly talks about the ______（）A．problems of cropsB．temperature of plantsC．roles of Paley’s companyD．function of infrared scanning11、It was a fairly sunny day. I had gone down the tower whena blind man came toward me. He kept close to the wall， touching it lightly with his arm. I stood still and looked at him walking toward the ticket office.What does a blind man want to climb up the tower for? I wondered， Not the view certainly， perhaps he wants to jump. Thinking of this terrible reason， I thought I should follow him.He went up slowly and stopped from time to time. I followed him a few steps behind.When he got to the first corner of the bell tower，I approached him. Excuse me, I said as politely as I could, but I am very curious to know why you came up.You’d never guess, he said.Not the view， or the fresh air on this winter day?No. he said.Tell me， then.He smiled.Perhaps climbing up the tower，you have noticed—and yet， not being blind，perhaps you won’t—how the sun pours into the tower through the windows here and there，so that one can feel the cool steps suddenly become quite warm，even in winter. But behind the wall there is shade. There is no place so good as this for feeling the contrast between light and darkness. Though I’m blind， I also want to feel the happiness brought by the sunlight. In fact it isn’t my first time to be here. He said and seemed as pleased as a child. （81）I had never thought that even a blind man could have his way to enjoy the beautiful life.But we often paid no attention to its value because we never lost it.We went down the tower together and I left him. From then on I began to treasure what life has given meWhen did the story happen（）A．On a warm day in springB．On a cool day in summerC．On a windy day in autumnD．On a sunny day in winter12、What’s the relation ship between the writer and the blind man（）A．StrangersB．FriendsC．RelativesD．Neighbors13、The writer followed the blind man because _____（）A．he wanted to offer help to any handicapped personB．he was afraid that the blind man might jump off the tower C．he was curious about the ability of the blind man to climb D．he wanted to go down the tower with the blind man14、Why did the blind man climb the tower（）A．Because he wanted to feel the shade behind the wall of the towerB．Because he wanted to have more fresh air up the tower C．Because he wanted to feel the difference between sunlight and shadeD．Because the bell tower was a good and familiar place for him to visit15、What did the writer learn from the blind man（）A．One should always love sunny daysB．One should treasure what is lost in lifeC．One should enjoy the changes in lifeD．One should value what life has given him16、When you have completed your college education, you will look for a job suited to your training, interests, and ambition. In most cases, you will visit a likely employer’s office and complete an application form for the position in which you are interested.（83）The employer may then make a decision regarding your ability on the basis of your application form and interview. Throughout your lifetime, however, you may find yourself in other job hunting situations in an attempt to improve your position. As you gain experience, you are likely to become ambitious for better and better jobs. These better jobs often require letters of application and summaries of your background and experience.

The street was 47 with motor cycles, bicycles, cars, trucks and buses. Rather than 48 the traffic into two lanes， the yellow lane markers apparently served only to 49 that you were on a paved（铺设的） road.People passed, stopped, turned around and crossed center lines.Traffic flowed both ways in the same lane, and more traffic turned onto the street from side ones.

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions.Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:Coin collection is one of the oldest known hobbies. In the past it was often enjoyed by kings and scholars. It is also a pleasant way of saving.The designs on coins tell many stories. The coins of a country often are a record of its history and geography. Some ancient coins tell us all we know about a country or a period of history. They bring us portraits of rulers who would be otherwise (否则) unknown. Coins tell us about the art, religion, dress and hairstyles of people who lived long ago.Your special interests will help you decide the kind of coin collection you would like to have. You may wish to collect the coins of one country or one partof the world. Or you may want your collection to contain coins from all over the world in certain period of time.Some people choose to collect the coins of their own country, while others are interested in ancient Greek and Roman coins that visitors bring back from foreign countries can be the beginning of a collection.Another way to start a collection is to select the best examples of coins now in use. You may be able to collect an interesting series of United States coins with different dates.To get the most enjoyment from your hobby of coin collecting, read as much as you can on the subject. Try to form a group of collector friends. If you have an old or foreign coin, find out where and when it was made, its name and value, and what you could have bought with it when it was in use.There are many ways to arrange coin collections. Some collectors keep their coins in small square (正方形) envelopes. A complete description (描述) of the coins should be written on the outside of the envelopes. These envelopes are arranged in cardboard boxes.Never clean a coin unless it is caked with dirt. Remove the dirt with soap and warm water. Do not use anything hard. This will damage both the looks and value of the coin.66. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the selection as a benefit of the ways mentioned in the selection is ______.A. you can increase your knowledge of history.B. you can learn about the geography of some countries.C. you can have some ideas of how people lived in the old days.D. you can buy things with the coins you have.67. There are many ways to start a collection of coins. One of the ways mentioned in the selection is ______.A. to start with the collection of coins according to the sizesB. to buy all kinds of coins when you see them in the shopsC. to keep all the coins you happen to haveD. to collect coins of your own country according to the dates68. You can get the most enjoyment from your collection of coins ______.A. if you try to learn as much as possible from the coins you have in yourcollectionB. if you get a lot of money selling themC. if you clean them every now and thenD. if you can arrange them in different ways69. There are several ways to arrange your coins. The way recommended in the selection is ______.A. to put them in bagsB. to keep them in small envelopesC. to keep them in glass casesD. to keep them in a jar70. In order to keep the coins clean, you should ______.A. clean them whenever you have timeB. clean them every monthC. clean them with hot waterD. clean them with warm waterQuestions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage:It's impolite to arrive at a dinner party more than 15 to 20 minutes late. The host or hostess usually waits for all of the guests before serving the food. If someone is late, the food may be spoiled, and so might the host or hostess' mood. If you find you will have to be late, call and tell them to start without you.It's even worse to be early! The host or hostess will probably not be ready. If you are early, drive or walk around the block (街区) a few times, or just sit in your car until the right time.It's often important to arrive at a party on time. Some get-togethers, especially formal dinner parties depend on exact arrival times. On the other hand, for open houses, the host or hostess invites guests to arrive and leave between specific times, so you can arrive at any time within the times he or she gives you.It's nice to bring an empty stomach, but it's even nicer to bring a small gift. The gift should not cost a lot, or you might embarrass (使人难堪) the host or hostess. Flowers, wine, some pretty soap for the guest bathroom, a box of candy, a bottle of inexpensive but good wine and similar gifts will do fine. Never bring money as a gift.North Americans might kiss a close friend on the cheek in greeting. (But never on the lips -- unless they are very, very close!) It is not customary (习惯) for Americans to greet each other with a kiss unless they had not met for a long time.71.

For the first time he saw himself as he had always wanted to be -- a full five feet eight inches tall.Hank had been born without legs. Until he was seven, his world was a world of repeated operations. At last he had -- not legs, but stumps (残肢) that could be fitted with a kind of special boots.Out of the hospital, Hank often found people staring at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him "Ape Man" because his arms dragged (拖) on the ground.He went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years instead of the usual twelve.After graduation, Hank worked his way through college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, Hank had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. Hank would soon have to use a wheel chair.Hank felt himself go cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial (人造的) legs.Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror and saw himself for the first time, five feet eight inches tall.But this was not the end yet. He had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed the stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.When World War II came, he talked the Red Cross (红十字会) into giving him a job. He took the regular training. He marched and drilled along with the other soldiers. Few knew that he was legless. This was the true story of Hank Viscardi, the man without legs.76. It can be inferred from the story that five feet eight inches tall is ______.A. an average height for an adultB. too fall for an average personC. too short for an average personD. none of the above77. Children laughed at Hank and called him "Ape Man" because ______.A. he didn't talk to themB. he kept away from themC. when he moved his arms touched the groundD. his arms were too long78. The writer implies in the story that ______.A. the Red Cross was only too glad to give him a jobB. the Red Cross gave him a job because he was a good soldierC. the Red Cross gave him a job after he talked to somebody he know inthe organizationD. the Red Cross was not willing to give him a job at first79. When Hank marched and drilled along with the other soldiers ______.A. he did everything the other soldiers didB. he did most of the things the other soldiers didC. he did some of the things the other soldiers didD. he took some special training80. The writer suggests that Hank Viscardi ______.A. had no friendsB. never saw himself as different from othersC. was very shyD. was too proud to accept help from othersQuestions 81 to 85 are based on the following passage:In the United States many have been told that anyone can become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good luck.Yet, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what "keeping up with the Joneses" is about. It is the story of someone who tries to look as rich and as successful as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American by the name of Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself: he began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. Young Momand was very proud of his riches. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New Your City. But just moving there was not enough. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horse riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired (雇) a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. Momand and his wife could not do that.The race ended for them when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They left their wealthy neighborhood and moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series (系列) of short stories. He called it "keeping up with the Joneses", because "Jones" is a very common name in the United States. "Keeping up with the Joneses" came to mean keeping up with the people around you. Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over28 years.Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do. And there are "Joneses" in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses, because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead (在前面).81. The writer of the selection believes ______.A. anyone in the United States can become richB. anyone in the United States can become rich if he works hard and hassome good luckC. he can become rich in the futureD. many people in the United States think anyone can become rich if heworks hard and has some good luck82. Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because ______.A. they want to be as rich as their neighborsB. they want others to know or to think that they are richC. they don't want others to know they are richD. they want to be happy83. It can be inferred from the story that rich people ______.A. like to live outside New York CityB. like to live in New York CityC. like to live in apartmentsD. like to have many neighbors84. Arthur Momand used the name "Jones" in his series of short stories because Jones is ______.A. an important nameB. a popular name in the United StatesC. his neighbor's nameD. not a good name85. According to the writer, it is ______.A. correct to keep up with the JonesesB. interesting to keep up with the JonesesC. impossible to keep up with the JonesesD. good to keep up with the JonesesQuestions 86 to 90 are based on the following passage:A dream is made up of a series of mind-pictures that form during sleep. The people and actions in these pictures seem real to the person who is dreaming.Dreams may be influenced by different things that are present during sleep. If a person is cold, he may dream that he is out in a snowstorm. Worries or anger may also influence the content of a dream.Some people think that they seldom dream, and other people are quite sure that they do not dream at all. Studies of human sleep have shown, though, that everyone dreams every night. If a person thinks he does not dream, it is because he does not remember dreaming when he wakes up. Usually, a person may dream three to seven times for a total of one to two hours of dreaming every night.Perhaps you are wondering just how research workers can be sure that a person is dreaming. The story behind the discovery is an interesting one.During their research studies of human sleep, Dr. Kleitman and his assistants noticed that a person sleeping made sudden eye movements. These eye movements occurred at least several times a night. When a sleeper was awakened during these periods of eye movement, it was learned that he had been dreaming. Inmost cases, the dreamer could then recall (回忆) his dream. The person's eye movements, scientists believe, were caused by the movements of his eyes as he followed the events of the dream.Not only does everyone dream, but it seems that we all need to dream. One theory is that dreaming gives us a chance to escape (逃避) from the rules of our real world. In dreams we can see our wishes come true. We can be rich, powerful, successful.Another theory is that in our dream we are trying to work out our problems that have troubled us during waking moments.Whatever the explanation, we all do dream, and dreaming is necessary and important to us.86. According to the selection, the research studies of human sleep show ______.A. few people dream at nightB. some people dream three times every night while other people dreamseven times every nightC. some people may dream all the time during sleepD. everyone dreams several times every night87. If a person is cold, he may dream that he is out in a snowstorm.
