His biggest Suburban in life was to be a writer. “I never wanted to be anything else,” he says. “I was ten or eleven when I saw Gone with the Wind and I wrote my own Civil War story.”After earning a degree in creating writing at Carnegie Mellon University, he got a job at a newspaper in Orlando, Florida. He made his mark with his article on the rough working conditions endured by the people inside the Mickey and Minnie costumes at Walt Disney World. Later he became a staff writer for the Wall Street Journal.In 1988, when the famous advice columnist, Ann Lander, quit her job at the Chicago Sun-Times, the paper launched a nationwide contest to find her replacement. Jeffrey Zaslow applied. Among the 12,000 contestants , women outnumbered men nine toone, and most of them had seen a lot more of life than Zaslow, who was 28 and not married. When he reached the Semifinals , his editors at the Journal ran a headline: “ Why He’ll Never Make It”. But Jeffrey did make it in the finals.Today, thirteen years later, his column, “All That Zazz”, is read by thousands of readers in the Chicago area. His years in the advice business left him with a deep appreciation for people and their problems. He is also greatly moved by the generosity, sincerity and good nature of his readers. “Wonderful people,” he says, “do outnumber terrible people in his world. I have much more faith in my fellow men than I had before. And I’ve read plen ty of letters to back that up.”Dictation 31.

But raising kids takes money and energy. Many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents’ biggest, and often unspoken, fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents, particularly father s, “end up retiring much later.” For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream.Henry Metcalf, a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth grader, but he’s learned that young at heart doesn’t mean young. Lately he’s been taking afternoon naps (午睡) to keep up his energy. “My body is aging,” says Metcalf, “You can’t get away from that.”Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “They worry they’ll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school,” says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigger one: “that they won’t be alive long enough to support and protect their child,” she says.Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertility (受孕) treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband, Randy, had twins. “We both wanted children,” says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired for years, “a sense of family.”Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives. “The dads are older, more mature,” says Dr. Silber, “and more ready to focus o n parenting.”1. Why do psychiatrists regard maturity as an asset in child rearing? A) Older parents can better balance their resources against children’s demands. B) Older parents are usually more experienced in bringing up their children. C) Older parents are often better prepared financially.D) Older parents can take better care of their children.2. What does the author mean by saying “For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream” (Lines 7-8, Para. 1)?A) They have to go on working beyond their retirement age.B) They can’t get full pension unless they work some extra years.C) They can’t obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed of.D) They are reluctant to retire when they reach their retirement age.3. The author gives the example of Henry Metcalf to show that _________.A) many people are young in spirit despite their advanced ageB) taking afternoon naps is a good way to maintain energyC) older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodiesD) older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic children.4. What’s the biggest fear of older parents according to New York psychologist Joann Galst?A) Being laughed at by other people.B) Slowing down of their pace of life.C) Being mistaken for grandparents.D) Approaching of death.5. What do we learn about Marilyn and Randy Nolen?A) They thought they were an example of successful fertility treatment.B) Not until they had the twins did they feel they had formed a family.C) They believed that children born of older parents would be smarter.D) Not until they reached middle age did they think of having children.Passage twoLosing your ability to think and remember is pretty scary. We know the risk of dementia (痴呆症) increases with age. But if you have memory slips, you probably needn’t worry. There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss.After age 50, it s quite common to have trouble remembering the names of people, places and things quickly, says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Women s Hospital in Boston.The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts shrink, especially areas in the brain that are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow.Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, for example, is nothing to worry about. But if you forget the plot of the movie or don t remember even seeing it, that s far more concerning, Daffner says.When you forget entire experiences, he says, that s "a red flag that something more serious may be involved." Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friend you’ve visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrong.But even then, Daffner says, people shouldn’t panic. There are many things that can cause confusion and memory loss, including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep, high blood第 4 页共11 页pressure, or depression, as well as medications (药物) like antidepressants.You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Daffner suggests going to your doctor to check on Array medications, health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory. And the best defense againstmemory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain s cognitive (认知的) reserve, Daffner says. "Read books, go to movies, take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways," he says. In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physically active, because exercise is a known brain booster.6. Why does the author say that one need’ t be concerned about memory slips?A) Not all of them are symptoms of dementia.B) They occur only among certain groups of people.C) Not all of them are related to one’s age.D) They are quite common among fifty-year-olds.7. What happens as we become aged according to the passage?A) Our interaction skills deteriorate.B) Some parts of our brain stop functioning.C) Communication within our brain weakens.D) Our whole brain starts shrinking.8. Which memory-related symptom should people take seriously?A) Totally forgetting how to do one s daily routines.B) Inability to recall details of one s life experiences.C) Failure to remember the names of movies or actors.D) Occasionally confusing the addresses of one s friends.9. What should people do when signs of serious memory loss show up?A) Check the brain s cognitive reserve.B) Stop medications affecting memory.C) Turn to a professional for assistance.D) Exercise to improve their well-being.10. What is Dr. Daffner’s advice for combating memory loss?A) Having regular physical and mental checkups.B) Taking medicine that helps boost one s brain.C) Engaging in known memory repair activities.D) Staying active both physically and mentally.Passage threeIn spring, chickens start laying again, bringing a welcome source of protein at winter’s end. So it’s nosurprise that cultures around the world celebrate spring by honoring the egg.第 5 页共11 页Some traditions are simple, like the red eggs that get baked into Greek Easter breads. Others elevate the egg into a fancy art, like the heavily jewel-covered “eggs” that were fav ored by the Russians starting in the 19th century.One ancient form of egg art comes to us from Ukraine. For centuries, Ukrainians have been drawing complicated patterns on eggs. Contemporary artists have followed this tradition to create eggs that speak to the anxieties of our age: Life is precious, and delicate. Eggs are, too.“There’s something about their delicate nature that appeals to me,” says New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. Several years ago, she became interested in eggs and learned the traditional Ukrainian technique to draw her very modem characters. “I’ve broken eggs at every stage of the process—from the very beginning to the very, very end.”But there’s an appeal in that vulnerability. “There’s part of this sickening horror of knowing you’re w alking on the edge with this, that I kind of like, knowing that it could all fall apart at any second.” Chast’s designs, such as a worried man alone in a tiny rowboat, reflect that delicateness.Traditional Ukrainian decorated eggs also spoke to those fears. The elaborate patterns were believed to offer protection against evil.“There’s an ancient legend that as long as these eggs are made, evil will not prevail in the world,” says Joan Brander, a Canadian egg-painter who has been painting eggs for over 60 years, having learned the art from her Ukrainian relatives.The tradition, dating back to 300 B.C., was later incorporated into the Christian church. The old symbols, however, still endure. A decorated egg with a bird on it, given to a young married couple, is a wish for children. A decorated egg thrown into the field would be a wish for a good harvest.11.Why do people in many cultures prize the egg?A) It is a welcome sign of the coming of spring.B) It is their major source of protein in winter.C) It can easily be made into a work of art.D) It can bring wealth and honor to them.12.What do we learn about the decorated “eggs” in Russia?A) They are shaped like jewel cases.B) They are cherished by the rich.C) They are heavily painted in red.D) They are favored as a form of art.13.Why have contemporary artists continued the egg art tradition?A) Eggs serve as an enduring symbol of new life.B) Eggs have an oval shape appealing to artists.C) Eggs reflect the anxieties of people today.D) Eggs provide a unique surface to paint on.第 6 页共11 页第 7 页 共 11 页14.Why does Chast enjoy the process of decorating eggs?A) She never knows if the egg will break before the design is completed. B) She can add multiple details to the design to communicate her idea. C) She always derives great pleasure from designing something new. D) She is never sure what the final design will look like until the end. 15.What do we learn from the passage about egg-painting? A) It originated in the eastern part of Europe. B) It has a history of over two thousand years. C) It is the most time-honored form of fancy art. D) It is especially favored as a church decoration.A bookless life is an incomplete life. Books influence the depth and breadth of life. They meet the natural 1)_____for freedom, for expression, for creativity and beauty of life. Learners, therefore, must have books, and the right type of book, for the satisfaction of their need. Readers turn 2)____ to books because their curiosity concerning all manners of things, their eagerness to share in the experiences of others and their need to 3) _____ from their own limited environment lead them to find in books food for the mind and the spirit.

They are presented with a 4)_____ of human experiences and come to5) _____ other ways of thought and living. And while 6)____ their own relationships and responses to life , the readers often find that the 7) ____ in their stories are going through similar adjustments, which help to clarify and give significance to their own.Books provide 8)______ material for readers’ imagination to grow. Imagination is a valuable quality and a motivating power, and stimulates achievement. While enriching their imagination, books 9)______their outlook, develop a fact-finding attitude and train them to use leisure 10)_____. The social and educational significance of the readers’ books cannot be overestimated in an academic library.Part IV . Fill in the blanks by selecting suitable letters for words fromthe word bank.

Consider also the heroic example of Abraham Lincoln, who faced substantial hardships, failures andrepeated misfortunes in his lifetime. Yet his strong will was the spur that pushed him forward, strengthening his optimism, dedication and determination. It intensified and focused his efforts and enabled him to triumph over the overwhelming failures and profound difficulties in his life. A hundred years later, people from around the world commend Abraham Lincoln as the greatest American president of all time.2. Thanks to modern aviation, we can now move through space at an inhuman speed. For the first time in human history, we can outrun the sun and move from one hemisphere to another in a single day. Of course, it's not enough to simply get on a plane. Most people, after all, escape to Paris so they don't have to think about those troubles they left behind. But here's the irony: Our mind is most likely to solve our most stubborn problems while we are sitting in luxury in a Left Bank café.Part V .

You will have to adjust to your new 1 , try to do everything by yourself and learn to stand on your own. As you 2 the ups and downs of student life, you will learn how to 3 problems that arise.College life is very 4 from that in the middle school. It’s the place where teenagers become adults and academia meets 5 . Ideally, your time at college will help you mature physically and mentally, equip you with 6 and prepare you for your professional career.It is a challenging process, and it is not realistic to 7 everything to always work in your favor. You won’t win every prize and you won’t be 8 with all your classmates all the time. Setbacks and challenges – like failure, betrayal and unjust 9 – are just as important for your growth as the good times. Only when you have 10 these things can you know what society and life is like. II. Fast Reading(10 points)Crisis-proof Your MarriageExperts say that most difficult marriage situations can be salvaged as long as both parties are willing. “It takes commitment, but it can and does happen,” note Diane Sollee, director of the Coalition for Marriage, Family and Couples Education in Washington, D.C. Here are the ways:Cool off. When emotions are raw, Lonnie Barbach, co-author of Going the Distance: Finding and Keeping Lifelong Love, recommends therapy. “It’s helpful to have a therapist’s objective point of view because, typically, each person just sees what the other person is doing, not how he or she is contributing to the problem.”Therapy needn’t take a big commitment of money and time. Many churches, synagogues and community mental-health centers offer free counseling or support groups. And many therapists practice something called solution-oriented brief therapy, which focuses on problem solving and can take only a few sessions.Learn to Listen. Let your partner express his or her opinion without interruption, then repeat what was said without expressing an opinion: “Just so I understand, what you are feeling is this…”“People don’t necessarily want you agree them, but at least understand what happened,” says Almas Dell Smith, director of the Behavioral Treatment Center in Bookline, Mass., and author of Stress and Marriage.Admit Mistakes. A wife in Woodstock, III., was never comfortable speaking openly with her husband because she feared how he might react. But her silence made him feel shut out. When her sister’s death caused her to retreat further into herself, he turned to another woman for emotional (not sexual) support.At first the wife blamed him totally for the rift. “I’d cry and say it was all fault. But there was another part of me saying, ‘It takes two.’ By not communication openly, I contributed to the problem,” she admits. The couple went for therapy, where the wife learned it was important to speak her mind, and the husband realized he needed to make her feel comfortable to do so. Their marriage is now much stronger.“In every marital conflict it’s important for people to see their own responsibility in the issue – they don’t make progress until they do,” says John Gottman, author of Why Marriages Succeed or Fail.Give Love a Chance. Today’s busy couples often put their marriage in a less important position,without constant efforts to strengthen it, their marriage may turn into a failure.One dual-income couple in Washington, D.C., realized that the intimacy and sharing they had once treasured had disappeared. Problems cropped up about ten years ago when the husband, a 48-year-old financial analyst, had to work long hours and make frequent business trips, while the wife, 44, was busy with her career as a health and human-services program manager. The husband thought he could deal with their problems by taking a lower-paying job that gave him more time at home. But their marital problems were compounded by outside stresses and a clinical depression that the wife suffered.Fortunately they had spiritual support from a church couples group which helped them use their communication skills. Today the marriage is strong again, but the couple knows now never to be too confident. Even so, the wife says, “we’re constantly looking to decrease the stress in our lives. We want to make sure we don’t get into trouble again.”Give Yourself Time. If there has been a betrayal, such as infidelity, don’t expect the wounds to heal quickly. “Forgiveness doesn’t happen all at on ce,” warns Michele Weiner-Davis, author of Divorce Busting.After his wife discovered he was having an affair, a Reno, Nev., man realized what a mistake he’d made. The hurt was deep, however, and he knew he’d have to work hard to regain his wife’s trust. He made sure he was always where he’d said he would be; he called whenever he was going to be late; be even put aside his shyness and started going dancing with his wife because he knew it meant a lot to her.“It took about a year for the trust to come back,” she admits. Today they’ve been married almost 30 years. “We’re looking forward, not backward.”Questions 11 to 15 are based on Passage 1.11. Experts say that difficult marital situations can be salvaged.A. allB. noneC. fewD. most12. The best therapy is one that is .A. of high priceB. with long sessionsC. with a trust-worthy therapistD free counseling or support groups13. When your partner expresses his or her opinion, you should .A. listen carefully without interruptionB. turn a deaf ear to what he or she saysC. interrupt time and again to express your own opinionD. agree with or her without reservation even though you have some doubts14. The expression “how he or she is contributing to the problem” (in paragraph 2) probably meansA. in which way he or she is saving the problemB. in which way he or she is causing the problemC. in which way he or she is suffering the problemD. in which way he or she is solving the problem15. Which of the following statement can suggest the main idea of the passage?A. All relationships can experience difficult times.B. Today’s couples often put their marriage in a less important.C. How to cope with the crises of the marriage.D. Young people can have their marriage without conflictIII. Reading Comprehension(20 points)Directions: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Passage 1The AIDS virus is carried in a person's body fluids (体液). The virus can be passed during sex with an infected partner or by sharing instruments used to take intravenous (静脉注射的) drugs. It can also be passed in blood or fluids made from blood or from a pregnant (怀孕的) woman with AIDS to her developing baby.Many stories about the spread of AIDS are false. You cannot get AIDS from working or attending school with someone who has the disease. You cannot get it from drinking glasses or other objects used by such persons. Officials say no one has caught AIDS by living with, caring for, or touching an AIDS patient.There are several warning signs of being infected with AIDS. They include always feeling tired, unexplained (无法解释的) weight loss, and uncontrolled expulsion (排泄) of body wastes. Other warning signs are the appearance of white areas on the mouth, dark red areas of skin that do not go away,and a higher than normal body temperature.However, just because you have one or more of these conditions does not mean you have AIDS. Always go to a doctor or health center for a complete examination. The doctor may give you an AIDS blood test.When a virus enters the body, the body's defenses against disease produce antibodies (抗体) to fight the virus. The test shows if the body has produced antibodies to the AIDS virus. Results of the test are known after a few hours. The test tells only if your body has produced AIDS antibodies. It cannot tell if you have AIDS or if you will ever get the disease. In December (1988), the United States government approved (批准) a simpler and faster AIDS blood test. The newer test can confirm (证实) the presence (出现) of the AIDS antibodies in about five minutes.16. The AIDS virus can spread ___________.A. only from a man to womanB. among those who share drug instrumentsC. by shaking hands with someone who has the virusD. by touching an AIDS patient17. It is wrongly thought that ___________.A. the AIDS virus can be passed during sexB. the AIDS virus can spread from an expecting mother to her babyC. the AIDS virus can be passed by touching infected bloodD. one can get AIDS by working or attending school with someone who has the disease18. The warning signs of being infected with AIDS do not include ____________.A. weight lossB. uncontrolled expulsion of body wastesC. the appearance of red areas of skinD. a body temperature lower than a normal one19. If a person is worried that he might have AIDS, he should go to _____________.A. a government officeB. a defense systemC. an antibody production centerD. a doctor or health center 20. _________ can show if one has AIDS.A. Whether one has a defense method against AIDSB. Whether one has unexplained weight lossC. Whether the AIDS antibodies are produced in the bodyD. The doctor's complete examinationPassage 2Personal computers and the Internet give people new choices about how to spend their time.Some may use this freedom to share less time with certain friends or family members, but new technology will also let them stay in closer touch with those they care about most. I know this from personal experience.Email (电子邮件) makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren't automatically much shorter than they once were, but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I might have if she'd been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun —see a great film, perhaps—and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.With email, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience (方便), and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.Email is also an inexpensive way to stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use email to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don't eliminate (排除) any of the old ways.21. The purpose of this passage is to ________.A. explain how to use the InternetB. describe the writer's joy of keeping up with new technologyC. tell the merits and usefulness of the InternetD. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet22.

(5 points) Passage 1One of the oldest customs of mankind is the celebration of the New Year. Some people say the Chinese were the first to start it, others believe it was the ancient Germans, and still others claim it was the Romans.We know that the Chinese have always had a great festival at the time of their New Year, which comes later than ours. The Chinese New Year festival lasts several days. The ancient Germans established a New Year festival because of the changing seasons. The German winter began at the middle of November. This was the time when they gathered the harvest, because everybody came together at this time for the happy occasion, and because it meant they would have a period of rest from work afterwards. They would make merry and have a great holiday. Even though it was November, they considered it the beginning of the New Year! When the Romans conquered (⼊侵) Europe, they changed this time of celebration to the first of January.From then on the coming of the New Year was a symbol of a new life with new hope for the future. This custom and this meaning have lasted to this day. We celebrate the New Year hoping it will bring us a good life.46. What do you think the author's nationality is?C. Roman.D. None of the above.47.

(5 points)Passage 1At university you meet many different types of students. There are lazy students, smart students, and students who are so intelligent that they hardly have to work at all.An interesting game to play is to put people into types. For example, the ambitious student is very easy to identify. Not only do they work extremely hard but they also make sure that they know the right people and attend the right events. You'll see them chatting to lecturers after a lecture is finished. They usually look serious and carry big bags of books.The party girl is easily recognized by her fashionable clothes and the fact that at every party you go to she's surrounded by friends.Then there's the "techy", a student who knows everything about computers and technology. They can be found at most times of the day playing with a computer.51.There is a student who work extremely hard and often chat to lecturers after a lecture is finished.What kind of student is he/she?_________________________________________________.The "organizer" is another type that's very recognizable. They love to organize things, whether it's parties or club meetings. And of course, there's always the "last minute" student. They may be very good students, but they always hand in assignments at the last moment, and they arrive at a lecture one minute before it's about to begin. Although I'd rather not be a "last minute" type, that's what I am, I'm afraid!52. Who can be easily recognized by fashionable clothes?_______________________________________________.53. What's the "techy" good at?_____________________________________________.54. Who loves to organize things, whether it's parties or club meetings?______________________________________________.55.

(5 points)Passage 1I don't know how many good teachers there are in the world, but I feel it is deeply important for a student who is in trouble to meet a good teacher.I had a maths teacher who hates to see struggling maths students. He always ridicules the slow students when he gets a chance. For example, the teacher looks down upon a student due to her failure in maths. It's not that this student is stupid but rather she has no interest in maths. The maths teacher always gives the girl the cold shoulder and says this girl is the stupidest student he has ever seen. One time this student got the lowest score on a maths exam, the teacher made fun of her and then students guessed who had the worst score. When that student had some questions to ask the teacher, he was第9 页共14 页impatient with her. Finally, the girl said to me that paradise is very far from her. Everyday she feels Eden, but there is no way to reach it. She feels that she is a tiny lantern which is placed into the water and will slowly drift out to sea until it can't be seen. What a lonely vision that is!All students have different abilities because each of them is unique. No one can foretell his future. The teacher should learn how to treat the slower students properly, how to encourage them and not to hurt their feelings. Please leave a bit of love for these special students."It is not how much we do but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving," said Mother Terasa. After all, love can creates power.66. In this article, the writer thinks that when a student is in trouble, it is very important that the student shoulddo his best to turn to some teachers.67. The underlined word "ridicule" in the second paragraph means laugh at.68. The girl fails in every maths exam because she is tired of the maths teacher.69. What the girl tells the writer shows the girl is mentally suffering.70. The writer attacks the maths teacher strongly, but he asks all people to collect money to support thespecial students.XI. Translation from English to ChineseDirections: Translate the following sentences into Chinese. (6 points)71. The computer is one of the most significant inventions in the twentieth century.72. That book is the best among modern novels.73. Several well-known researchers have been signed up for the project.74. On the other hand, females do better on tests measuring vocabulary, spelling, and memory.75. A team of researchers discovered that there are strong differences between how boys and girls are raised.76. Besides a written one, we'll have to take an oral test.第10 页共14 页。

A boy knows he is turning into a man. He has to learn from a man to complete his development.The father's job is to step in over time. If there is no father around, then the child depends more on finding other men –at school, for example. Yet men are leaving teaching, especially in primary schools. This is a problem.They insisted, too, that they needed lots of extra support. Throughout primary school years and into high school, boys should spend a lot of time with their fathers and mothers, getting their help, learning how to do things and enjoying their company.With regard to feelings, at this stage the father is more important. The boy is ready to learn from his father and listens to what he has to say. Often he will take more notice of his father. It's enough to drive a mother wild!Now is a good time for a father to do “little” things: playing in the yard on summer evenings, going for walks, telling stories about life, telling him about his own youth, working on hobbies or sports together for the enjoyment of doing it. This is the time when good memories are laid down that will be healthy to your son, and you, for years to come.Although every boy is different, it's common for boys at this age to get a little argumentative(好争论的), restless and moody(闹情绪). It's not that they are turning bad – just that they are being born into a new self and birth always means struggle.I believe this is the age when we fail teenagers the most. In our society all we offer those in the middle teens is "more of the same": more school. So it's little wonder that problems arise.41. According to the passage a boy needs the help of ______ to develop well.A.his mother onlyB. his father onlyC. neither his mother nor his fatherD. both his mother and father42. One problem for a boy's development is that ______.A. there are fewer men teaching in primary schoolsB. here are fewer women teaching in primary schoolsC. the boy's interests are changingD. the boy wants to act as a man43. The good time for a father to have an influence on his son is _______.A. when the boy is 14B. when the boy is at primary schoolC. from about age 6 to the 14th birthdayD. since the boy was born44. By the middle teens boys argue often with their parents. This means ___.A. they are turning badB. they are turning goodC. they are being born into a new selfD. they are rebelling against their parents45. The main idea of this passage is that ____________.A. fathers play an equal role in raising boysB. mothers should feel comfortable when their sons' interests are changingC. without fathers mothers can raise good menD. fathers should stay with their sons as much as possibleQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Yukio is a twenty-four year old Japanese businessman. A few months ago, his company sent him to work at its New York City office for half a year. This was his first experience living in the United States.Yukio thought New York City was very exciting, but he also found it very strange. It was difficult for him to get used to it. He found it strange to be with people from so many different races. He sometimes found American people very direct, open and honest though at the same he felt curious about them. He wished he could become friends with some Americans, but he wasn't sure how to get along with them. Most of the time, he felt very lonely and missed Japan.But soon some sunshine came into his life. A new clerk came to work in his office part-time. She was American, as were most of the clerks in his office. Her name was Cindy. She was very clever, friendly and good-looking. Cindy was also a student studying business. Cindy and Yukio got along very well. They talked together whenever possible. Cindy told Yukio her dreams of having a successful business. She said she was not really interested in getting married or having children. She wanted to use all of her energy for business. Yukio found Cindy very interesting and very different from the women he knew before. In a similar way,Cindy found Yukio unique among all the men that she knew. Soon the two fell in love and they were both very happy.But now it is almost time for Yukio to return to Japan. Y ukio wants Cindy to return to Japan with him and marry him.

He had a habit of writing on the beach before he began his work.One day he was walking along the shore. As he looked down the beach, hesaw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn't dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.As he got closer he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?”The young man paused, looking up and replied, “Throwing starfish (海星) in the ocean.”“I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?”“The sun is up and the tide is go ing out. And if I don't throw them in they'll die.”“But, young man, don't you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You can't possibly make a difference!”The young man listened politely. Then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the ocean, past the breaking waves and said, “It made a difference for that one.”There is something very special in each and every one of us. All of us have a natural ability to make a difference. If we can become aware of that ability, we will get through the strength of our images the power to shape the future.All of us must find our starfish. If we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be wonderful51.

More than one half of them have died.But doctors say evidence (证据) also shows there is no reason for persons to become terrified (惊吓) by the disease. The AIDS virus is spread during sex with an infected partner, or by infected blood. But doctors say their studies show the disease is not spread through normal, close social activities.A study by one research team was printed in the New England Journal (杂志) of Medicine. The doctors studied one-hundred-one family members who lived with AIDS and lived in crowded conditions. The family members shared many personal goods with the patients. These included toothbrushes, drinking glasses, beds, towels and toilets.Doctors said only one family member -- a –five-year-old girl – got the AIDS virus. They note, however, that the girl’s mother had the disease. They believe the girl probably was born with the virus. No other family member in the study got the AIDS virus or showed any signs of the disease.The head of the study, Gerald Friedland, said if the disease is not easily spread in crowded homes, it also will not spread easily in factories, offices, schools and other public places. Doctor Friedland said the study also shows there is no reason to punish AIDS patients and to force them to live separately from other persons.American health officials recently warned, however, that some health care workers should take special care. The report noted the AIDS virus is carried in blood and other body fluids. It said health care workers should put protective (保护性的) covers over their eyes and skin during medical operations, dental (牙科的) work, or other times when the patient may bleed.In the United States, most AIDS patients are homosexual (同性恋的)men, people taking drugs who used infected needles (针头), and persons who received infected blood. More recent studies show the AIDS virus also can be spread during heterosexual (异性的) relations. It can spread either from the man to the woman, or from the woman to the man.56. Doctors say there is no reason for people to be frightened about AIDS because__________.A. it is not deadlyB. few people are infected with AIDSC. the AIDS virus is not spread in everyday social activitiesD. the AIDS virus is not spread during sex57. The study of 101 family members who lived with AIDS patients shows that_______.A. the AIDS is not spread by personal goodsB. women are more likely to get the AIDS virus than menC. married men are less likely to get AIDS than unmarried onesD. the AIDS virus is passed by drinking glasses58. According to Doctor Friedland, there is no reason to _____.A. stop meeting AIDS patientsB. stop living with AIDS patientsC. fear that AIDS can be passed from a mother to a babyD. fear that the AIDS virus can be passed during sex59. Health workers were warned to take special care when the patient bleedsbecause ________.A. AIDS can be passed by touching the patient's body.B. AIDS can be spread by touching the patient's skin.C. AIDS virus can be carried in blood or other body fluids.D. the health care workers may be infected by the blood.60. _________ are least likely to be infected with the AIDS disease.A. People who use drugsB. Persons who offer infected blood to othersC. Men who are gayD. Married men新视野大学英语一级期末考试试卷(A) 考生注意:本试卷满分100分,考试时间120分钟 (试卷二)61. 如果她在淋浴下呆得太久,她妈妈或爸爸通常就会“砰砰”地敲门催她。

She is recalling old times as she waits for her family's arrival. The nursing home has been Melinda's new settlement ever since Thomas passed away a week ago. Thomas had fought a long and hard battle against lung cancer for three years. Unfortunately, he has broken the promise that he and Melinda had made: to be with each other for every birthday. Melinda knew this was unrealistic but agreed to the promise for Thomas’s sake.“Thomas, you are completely a dreamer!” Melinda shouted to Thomas as he dragged on about living on an island with his beautiful wife. That s what she loved about him most—he had a vivid imagination. They got married at age eighteen and began having children right away. Mary came within the year,followed by Thomas Benjamin II, Lilly-Ann, and Joseph “Little Joey' George. The family lived an exultant life filled with laughter and love.“Mom!” Lilly shouted, but it really sounded like a howl. Melinda had lost herself in thinking about the life she had shared with her late husband. Lilly pushed her down the long dark halls of the nursing home until they arrived at the recreational room.When the doors opened, Melinda put her hand over her mouth and was completely speechless. The room was crowded with the people nearest and dearest to her and the warmth and love was felt instantly. The night went on; stories and cocktails were shared and everything was perfect. However, when Melinda caught a moment to herself she looked around at her family. With a smile on her face, she raised her Manhattan and called out for a toast. “This one is for you, Thomas,though you are not here.”36. Why did Thomas break his promise?A. He was busy with his work.B.He died of lung cancer.C. He had to serve in the army.D.He stopped loving Melinda.37. Which of the following best explains “exultant” underlined in Paragraph 2?A.

Ask them what their favorite song is. A New York University study last year found that people who loved Eminem's Lose Yourself and Justin Bieber's What Do You Mean? were more likely to have trouble with mental disabilities than people who were into Dire Straits.Over the past few years,Spotify has been improving the ability to analyze information to help businessmen target consumers with advertisements made specially for their needs. They conclude this from the sort of music you’re listening to, combined with where and when you’re listening to it, along with third-party data that might be available.Now, to be clear, there’s nothing significantly illegal about what Spotify is doing with your information. I certainly don't think that they are working with shadowy consulting firms to serve you ads selling a culture struggle while you're listening to music that suggests you might be in a terrible situation. However, I find it disappointing that our personal, private moments with music are increasingly being turned into information points and offered to advertisers.You can see where this could go,can’t you? As ad targeting gets ever more accurate, businessmen will have the ability to target our feelings in potentially improper ways. According to one study, you are more likely to spend more on a product if you’re feeling sad. You can imagine some companies might take advantage of that. And on that note,I’m feeling a littledown about all this. Head off to treat myself to something expensive.40. What's the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To introduce a new song.B. To draw readers’ attention.C. To help more patients.D. To promote a new medium.41. Spotify improves its ability to analyze information to______.A. provide services for the governmentB. work with shadowy consulting firmsC. get listeners' personal informationD. help businessmen attract consumers42. What s the author’s attitude towards Spotify?A. Uncertain.B. Supportive.C. Positive.D.Dissatisfied.43. Who is the text probably designed for?A. Internet users.B. Officials.C. Researchers.D.Managers.Passage CAn exciting landing process of Chang'e-4 lunar probe (月球探测器)was seen through the monitor at Beijing Aerospace Control Center in Beijing,Jan. 3, 2019. It touched down on the far side of the moon at 10:26 a.m. Beijing Time, becoming the first spacecraft soft-landing on the moon’s unknown side never visible from Earth.China’s Chang'e-4 probe has started the exploration on the far side of the moon thanks to the relay satellite that provides a communication link with ground control. The relay satellite, named Queqiao, meaning Magpie Bridge, after a Chinese legend, was launched on May 21,2018,and became the first communication satellite operating in the halo orbit, nearly 500,000 km from the earth. It can also provide communication for probes from other countries. The relay satellite will also be used for scientific and technological experiments. The maximum distance between the satellite and the Chang'e-4 probe on the far side of the moon is 79,000 km. The satellite processes data from the probe and sends it to Earth.The satellite can stay in its orbit for a long time due to its relatively low fuel consumption, as the earth’s and moon's gravity balances its orbital moving. While in orbit, it can “see” both the earth and the far side of the moon.The concept of using a relay satellite in the halo orbit was first put forward by U.S. space expertsin the 1960s, but was realized by Chinese space engineers.Researchers hope to use the cameras on the satellite to record asteroids (小行星)hitting the far side of the moon. To control the cost of the Chang'c-4 probe, the relay satellite was designed to be relatively small, weighing about 400 kg.Researchers had just 30 months to develop the satellite, putting them under high pressure. To promote public interest in space exploration, the China National Space Administration invited people to write down their wishes for lunar and space exploration, and the relay satellite carries the names of tens of thousands of participants and their messages.44. What do we learn from the second paragraph?A. The relay satellite was launched on Jan. 3, 2019.B.Chang'e-4 probe was the first communication satellite.C. The relay satellite only explores the far side of the moon.D. The relay satellite can handle data from Chang'e-4 probe.45. Why was the size of the relay satellite relatively small?A. To reduce the cost as much as possible.B. To make it circle Moon for a longer time.C. To avoid being crashed by other satellites.D. To follow American space experts,advice.46. What made researchers suffer from great stress?A. Few people interested in the exploration on the moon.B. The relay satellite carrying too much equipment.C. Their lacking enough time to develop the relay satellite.D. People’s never being optimistic about the relay satellite47. What is the main idea of the text?A. China is a new space power after the USA.B.Change-4 probe lands on Moon’s far side.C. Chinese space engineers make much progress.D. Space exploration is a dangerous challenge.Passage DLast year marked the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I. There were events around theworld in memory of those who died in the conflict. We have picked out three of them in European countries. Let's take a look.BelgiumIn a park, the famous Belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen had an exhibition called Coming World, Remember Me. The work consisted of 600,000 individual(单独的)clay sculptures, one for exhibition was a big egg made of clay each person killed during the World War. In the center of the exhibition was a big egg made of clay, symbolizing a new world.UKIn a small town called Aldridge. almost 100 houses in one street were covered with 24,000poppies and statues of sold.They stood for the men from the area who had been killed in the war. The flowers were chosen because of a poem written by the Canadian doctor John McCrea in1915. They made people think of fields of blood.FranceThe British artist Guy Denning arrived in La Feuille,a small town in the northwest of France, to stick life-size drawings of soldiers who never came back home. Armed with glue and a brush, Denning stuck his drawings carefully on walls. Before long 112 men, ma.nly young adults, were brought back to mind, if not to life.48. What do we know about Coming World. Remember Me?A. It's the name of an exhibition.B. It's a film about World War I.C. It's a work standing for peace.D. It's a sculpture made of clay.49. Why were poppies chosen to symbolize the dead soldiers?A. The British people preferred them.B. They showed the cruelty of war.C. A Canadian doctor suggested them.D. The fields were filled with them.50. How was the end of World War I marked in France?A. A memorial to the dead soldiers was built.B. 112 wounded soldiers in the war were helped.C. Drawings of some dead soldiers were put up.D. Young adults were encouraged to join the army.Part IV Skimming and Scanning (10%)Technology in education: Current trendsA)Computers and Internet connections are becoming widely available in schools and classrooms. In 1999, 99 percent of teachers in the United States had access to a computer in their schools, and 84 percent had one or more computers in their classrooms. At the same time, Internet connections were also widespread, with 95 percent of schools and 63 percent of classrooms having access. Worldwide, many countries are making the creation and diffusion of information and communications technology (ICT) an important priority.The use of technology to find educational resourcesB) In the past, teachers attempting a problem-based curriculum felt the need to limit problems to those for which they had expertise or the local library had resources. Now the World Wide Web brings a seemingly endless amount of information on almost any subject, and it is possible for students to choose topics based on personal interest rather than availability of resources.C) Internet research projects are gaining popularity. In the spring of 1998, 30 percent of teachers surveyed (and 70 percent of those with high-speed Internet connections) reported they had assigned Internet research tasks to their students during the school year. Use of the Internet to gather information for solving problems sometimes resembles a modern version of library research, in which students gather and synthesize information from published reports. Despite the fact that the task seems traditional, the characteristics of this new medium require special skills for students. The sheer volume of information allows students to study almost any topic, but also makes it more difficult to locate precisely the right information from among the thousands, or even millions, of sites. In addition, the ease of publishing materials on the Internet increases the likelihood that students will encounter inaccurate or biased information. As a result, students must learn new strategies for conducting searches and evaluating the information thatthey retrieve.D) Students carrying out scientific investigations can use the Internet to make observations and collect data. For example, the fourth and fifth graders in California collected insects and sent them to San Diego State University. Using two-way audio and video connecting the school and the university, scientists guided the students in using an electron microscope to examine their specimens. Technology has made it possible to collect data from places students could never visit. In recent projects, high school students explored the floor of the Monterey Bay by studying the video from remotely operated robots, and middle school students were given time to use the Hubble telescope. Students also use technology to collect data in their schools and communities. For example, using handheld computers outfitted with various types of probes (探测仪),students can monitor the water quality at various locations in nearby streams or lakes. By transmitting their individual readings to a laptop computer in a field laboratory they can quickly graph their data and visually compare readings.The use of technology to summarize and present findingsE) In the past, students memorized and used formulas and models created by others to solve problems. Students often used these formulas, especially in the early stages of learning, with little understanding. In the early 21st century computer tools provide the opportunity for students to construct and test their own models using tools such as spreadsheets (电子制表软件)or concept maps (概念图). This type of instruction deepens students' understanding of abstract concepts and allows these concepts to be taught at an earlier age.F) Once students have summarized their data and other information, they typically communicate their findings to others. Writing reports is still the most widespread use of ICT, with 61 percent of US teachers assigning students word-processing tasks. In addition to text, students also use computer-created graphics, videos, and animations to communicate their ideas.G) The teacher is not the only audience for students' presentations. Students frequently expect to present their work to and receive feedback from their peers and the world outside their classroom. Whether they are using presentation software to accompany a face-to也cepresentation or developing materials to put on the Web, the trend is for students to be able to communicate their work to a broad audience. This increases students' perception that problem-based learning is real work for real audiences.The use of technology for collaboration and distance educationH) There are many opportunities for individual students to use technology to enhance their learning. These include online courses that provide students in remote locations with opportunities for customized curriculum and advanced placement courses (先修课程). These courses are conducted entirely online and offer asynchronous (异步的)interaction among faculty and students. Because they allow students to participate anytime and from anywhere, online courses are becoming increasingly popular among postsecondary (高等教育)students whose job and personal commitments do not allow them to meet a regular class schedule.I) Opportunities for interaction with peers from other countries can also contribute to knowledge and understanding of other cultures. ICT makes this type of communication possible for anyone with Internet access. For example, the Kidlink project encourages students up to age 15 to use the Internet to build a global network of friends. Kidlink participants discuss issues ranging from how to make and keep friends to war and peace.J) Monitoring students' independent learning in these flexible environments will be supported by sophisticated new assessment technologies that will help teachers collect and analyze students' data and make instructional decisions. These tools will continually assess students' work and provide feedback to them and their teachers. Such assessment has the potential to make time-consuming standardized testing unnecessary and to personalize the curriculum for every student. Ubiquitous,well-integrated technology tools will bring educators closer to redefine the educational enterprise and provide customized, just-in-time solutions for the learning needs of students.____1 Students find it more difficult to locate the right information from among a large number of websites.____2 Teachers will use sophisticated new technologies to assess students' learning in flexible environments and make instructional decisions.____3 Collecting information from the Internet is similar to that in the library as students obtain published reports and process the information in both cases.____4 While teachers had to limit problems to those with resources in the process of teaching in the past, students nowadays can make their own interest-based choices because of a large amount of information available on many subjects.____5 Students of higher education prefer online courses to those given at fixed time and in fixed places due to their other businesses.____6 The Kidlink project encourages students up to 15 to make foreign friends and have discussions about a wide range of issues on the Internet.____7 Many countries around the world prioritize the creation and spread of ICT.____8 By means of two-way audio and video, scientists in San Diego State University instructed the fourth- and fifth-grade students in California to observe specimens with electronic devices. ____9 Face-to-face presentations accompanied by software indicate the trend that students can communicate their work with more people.____10 Because of computer tools, abstract concepts can be better understood by students and be taught at an earlier age.Part V Translation (10%)1. 孔子的许多思想,尤其是教育思想,对中国社会产生了深远的影响。

They had a big balloon and they were ready for a long way.Soon they heard the sea. They were carrying the usual rope(绳子),and itwas hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope theyhad tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could be empty. So theywere able to change its weight(重量).It was for use over the sea. Theywere also carrying some bags of sand.After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 metres,and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fellpast the men's basket, and they could see more snow on the ground. The men 题号一二三四五得分得分学校:年级/班级:姓名:学号:________________装订线内不要答题tried to throw out some more sand; but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives, but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to drop some whole bags of sand. One of them fell on an icy lake and made a black hole in the ice.At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing; so they climbed to get away from the snow.

The cigarette industry started in the 1870’s with the development of the cigarette manufacturing machines. It helped produce great numbers of cigarettes very quickly and reduced the price greatly. And consequently more and more people, both men and women, began to smoke cigarettes. Men as a group, however, smoke more than women. But the highest proportion of smokers is found in the age group of 24 - 44, regardless of sex difference.Income, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a p erson’s smoking habits. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes. 0n the other hand, if a well-educated man with a higher income smokes at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day.The situation is somewhat different for women. There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family incomes and higher education than among the lower income and lower education groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily.Among teenagers the picture is similar. There are fewer teenaged smokers from upper-income, well-educated families, and fewer from families living in farm areas- High school students who are preparing for college are less likely to smoke than those who do not plan to continue their education after high school. Children are most likely to start smoking if one or both their parents smokeCBDBC21. When did cigarettes smoking begin to become a widespread habit among menand women according to the author?A. Before 1870’s.B. In the year of 1870.C. When cigarettes were made in large numbers.D. When women began to smoke cigarettes. 22.

Students under twenty.23. Which of the following has little to do with a person’s smoking habit?A. How much money he earns.B. What kind of job he does.C. How much education he has got.D. How long he has worked.24. Which is TRUE according to the passage?A. Well-paid men with good education are more likely to smoke.B. Women with high family income and good education are more likely tosmoke.C. Generally speaking, well-educated women with higher income smoke veryfew cigarettes.D. well-educated men usually smoke more packs of cigarettes thanwell-educated women.25.

There are as many teenager smokers as adult smokers.C. Family income and education have much the same effect on forming habitsamong teenagers.D. Teenager smokers have a picture that looks similar to that of adultsmokers.三、Vocabulary and Structure (15%) 15题(每小题1分,共15分)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

James Earle Fraser said his goal was to design a coin that would be "truly American." In his search for symbols, he found none more distinctive than the American buffalo. Choosing to show a Native American on the other side of the coin, Fraser said the new nickel had "perfect unity of theme."Production of "Buffalo" or "Indian Head" nickels began in February 1913. A single coining press at the Philadelphia Mint (造币厂) started turning out the nickels at the rate of 120 a minute. But after the first examples were introduced, The New York Times said they were "bad."Other critics said that the coin's "rough" surfaces would encourage counterfeiters (造假币的人). But the most serious complaint about the nickel had to do with its inability to stand heavy use. One coin collectors' magazine predicted that the slightest wear would remove the date and the words Five Cents "beyondunderstanding."In 1938, the Government staged a competition for a new nickel picturing Thomas Jefferson. According to a news item of the day, the Department of Indian Affairs didn't receive a single complaint from Native Americans about the design change. Collectors didn't seem to mind either.1.In the eyes of Fraser, a __________ is the most distinctive.A. nickelB. buffaloC.

Time passed and my cards sold well. My enthusiasm for the greeting card business grew quickly. All along, I had been drawing fantasy art: monsters, dragons, castles, etc. With the birth of my first son in 1980, the content of my work went through a pretty dramatic change.Fantasy went out of the window, and I began to illustrate reality. In the spring of 1983, we, The Mary Engelbreit Greeting Card Company, took our 12 little designs to New York to exhibit them at a national card show.I remember how big the show was. I just couldn't get over it. I had no idea there were so many different card companies. And it was exciting because our 12 little cards were getting a lot of attention in that huge place!I've been told one of the reasons we had so much success at that show is because my card style was different than anything else at the market. I typically draw complicated details and use deep colors and funny or meaningful quotations.By 1985, many greeting card publishers started noticing my art, and two of them approached me with licensing contracts.I have always believed if you choose a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life. If you ask about the mystery of my success, all I can say is this: to imagine is everything!6.Before the birth of her first son, Mary Engelbreit's cardsfocused on ________.A. realityB. daily lifeC. fantasyD. dragons7.The New York show was so big that Engelbreit ________.A. couldn't walk through itB. couldn't believe itC. couldn't stay to the end of itD. couldn't understand it8.Engelbreit's cards were successful because ________.A. they were distinctive in styleB. they had a thank-you sentenceC. they had complicated detailsD. they were rich in color9. A couple of greeting card companies ________.A. presented Engelbreit with contractsB. asked Engelbreit to make her cards more distinctiveC. wanted Engelbreit to use more meaningful quotationsD. thought her cards were to complicated10.According to Mary Engelbreit, the key to success is ________.A. devotionB. opportunityC. good luckD. imaginationQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog. The cost of helping someone with AIDS drugs is high. Pills cost a lot of money. In Africa, AIDS drugs may cost more than a person makes in one year. At the same time, some American hospitalsthrow away a lot of pills. One man, named Lee Wildes, didn't think this was fair, so he decided to do something about it.Wildes lives in a small apartment in San Francisco. Every month, he sends AIDS drugs, which would've been thrown away, to Africa. His act of kindness has not been noticed much in his home country. In Africa though, he is well known. Many people in Africa send him e-mails, asking him for the medicine they need.Lee was a nurse. He knows that millions of dollars worth of drugs are thrown away. Five years ago he learned he was sick with HIV. Following this discovery, he took a vacation to Africa and saw many people there with AIDS. His visit caused him to begin sending drugs to Africa.Lee talks with doctors in Africa by mail, e-mail and telephone. With their help, he has gotten the names and addresses for a hundred people in six African countries. He fills the pill orders and he records what pills he sends to them. He even returns to Africa, once a year, to see the people he's helping.Giving left over drugs away is against the law, as is giving out drugs without a license. However, it is not likely he'll be taken to court for his kindly efforts. People who have discovered his actionshave not caused problems for him. They know that 25 million Africans are sick with AIDS, and they don't want to prevent him from helping.11.Why aren't more Africans taking AIDS drugs?A.

Hospitals are not fair.14.With whom does Wildes have phone conversations?A. A San Francisco nurse.B. 100 sick Africans.C. American doctors.D. African doctors.15.What do people think of Wildes' actions?A. They think he shouldn't break the law.B. They think he is doing good work.C. They think he will be taken to court.D. They think he is prevented from helping.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the same passage or dialog. The great river Nile (尼罗河) flows gently in its course through the hot plains in the first half of the year but later on when the melting (融化) snows and the rains on the mountains far to the south swell its tributaries (支流), the Nile overflows (泛滥). It spreads rich, muddy (泥泞的) soil from Ethiopia over its valley and forms deep stretches of green, fertile (肥沃的) lands along its banks. Thesettlers found that in the soft rich earth wheat and other crops could be planted, even without the use of the plough, and they began to make many settlements of farmers.In these early times they did not of course understand why the river overflowed each year. But they knew that their crops and, therefore, their lives, depended upon its magic (魔术似的) floods, and they explained the miracle as the work of gods.But there came some years when there was a "bad Nile". Sometimes the floods were not full and did not bring enough soil; the crops were poor and the people starved. At other times the waters were so great that they destroyed houses and villages, and drowned (淹死) men and beasts (牲畜). It took perhaps many centuries before the farmers learned how to control the Nile waters.Wise men among them watching the position of the stars year by year found that they could predict when the annual rising of the Nile would come. Thus they began to learn about the scientific study of the sun, earth, moon, and stars and could make a calendar of the years. They also learnt how to measure out the land so that it could be divided fairly again after the boundaries ofthe farms had been washed away by great floods. In this way, there came about ancient knowledge of engineering and of geometry.16.We can learn from this passage that the Nile is ______.A. always a gentle flowing riverB. hot in the first half of the year but cold later onC. likely to overflow at unknown times of the yearD. a life-giving river that makes the land rich17.The settlers began farming in the Nile valley because ______.A. they discovered that their crops could grow well in the soilthereB. they did not realize that the river would overflowsometimesC. they found many settlements of farmers in the valleyD. they realized that their crops depended on the floods18.The Nile was called the "bad Nile" at times because _______.A. the floods made the river difficult to controlB. the floods could only be predicted by wise menC. the river sometimes flooded too little or too muchD. the river took the good soil away to Ethiopia19.The Egyptians of that time learned to predict the floods by_______.A. studying the flooding of the Nile year by yearB. observing the position of the stars year by yearC. inventing some maps of the Nile floodsD. developing engineering and measuring land20.According to the passage, the ancient Egyptians ________.A. had studied the stars and made their own calendar of theyearsB. watched the fall and rise of the Nile and learned how tocontrol the floodC. discovered science before the peoples of other nationsD. learned a lot about geometry and spread the knowledgeall over the worldQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the same passage or dialog.Sport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout (筋疲力尽). Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback (反馈) to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents' and coaches' criticisms to heart and find a flaw (缺陷) in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today's youth sportsetting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game, many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngster's performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.21.An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is_____________.A. to make sports less competitiveB. to make sports more challengingC. to reduce their mental stressD. to increase their sense of success22.According to the passage sport is positive for young peoplein that ___________.A. it can help them learn more about societyB. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesC. it enables them to find flaws in themselvesD. it can provide them with valuable experiences23.Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizingyoung athletes _________.A. without realizing criticism may destroy theirself-confidenceB. in order to make them remember life's lessonsC. believing that criticism is beneficial for their earlydevelopmentD. so as to put more pressure on them24.According to the passage parents and coaches should___________.A. help children to win every gameB. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsC. enable children to understand the positive aspect of sportsD. train children to cope with stress25.The author's purpose in writing the passage is ___________.A. to persuade young children not to worry about criticismB. to stress the importance of positive reinforcement tochildrenC. to discuss the skill of combining criticism withencouragementD. to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout Questions 26 to 30 are based on the same passage or dialog. If it was once the case that there were no second acts in American lives, there are now not only second acts but third, fourth, and fifth ones. This is not entirely unhealthy: The belief that one shouldn't be judged by one's worst mistakes revives (恢复) careers that might otherwise have ended. Thus, Sergio Zyman rebounded from the failure of New Coke to lead the company to great success and landed on the cover of Fortune in a story headlined, "So You Fail. Now Bounce Back!" That story put a new spin on screwing up: "If you haven't failed yet, you probably will. And for the benefit of your career, you probably should."Sometime in the 1990s, though, the notion of failure as the necessary preface to success reached its falling phase. In this, Hollywood led the way. When the movie Showgirls was not successful in theaters, its distributor, MGM, decided to actively sell it as a bad movie, arranging midnight shows stocked with dragqueens (男扮女装的男同性恋者) shouting the film's lines back at the screen. The notion of shame in failure came to be seen as old-fashioned, and the "redemption" (补救) phase of a comeback grew shorter and shorter until it disappeared entirely. As Hugh Grant taught us, no matter how bad one's misconduct, one can earn forgiveness through a modest chat on a national talk show. Similarly, Bob Dole didn't enter a Nixonian retreat after his political defeat-he soon entered his new role as a salesman, poking (戳,捅) gentle fun at his own inability to win.The 1990s cultivation of an appreciation for failure was ideally timed since the 2000s have made failure epidemic. Failure is not merely more common than success these days, it's also more interesting.26.The best title that fits this passage is ________________.A. How to turn failure into successB. Failure is the new successC. Failure should be avoidedD. Don't be afraid of failure27.What does "put a new spin on screwing up" in Para. 1。

Melinda had lost herself in thinking about the life she had shared with her late husband.Lilly pushed her down the long dark halls of the nursing home until they arrived at the recreational room.When the doors opened,Melinda put her hand over her mouth and was completely speechless.The room was crowded with the people nearest and dearest to her and the warmth and love was feltinstantly.The night went on;stories and cocktails were shared and everything was perfect.However,when Melinda caught a moment to herself she looked around at her family.With a smi le on her face,she raised her Manhattan and called out for a toast.“This one is for you,Thomas,though you are not here.”36.Why did Thomas break his promise?A.He was busy with his work.B.He died of lung cancer.C.He had to serve in the army.D.He stopped loving Melinda.37.Which of the following best explains“exultant”underlined in Paragraph2?A.Peaceful.B.Simple.C.Stressful.D.Happy.38.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.Melinda,children forgot their father.B.Melinda was tired of noise.C.Melinda missed her husband badly.D.Melinda liked to drink alcohol,39.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.A Particular BirthdayB.A Woman at a Nursing HomeC.Memories of Old DaysD.A Big Surprise for MelindaPassage BSpotify can tell if you’re sad.Here’s why that should scare you.Want to figure out if someone is a patient with a mental disability?Ask them what their favorite song is.A New York University study last year found that people who loved Eminem's Lose Yourself and Justin Bieber's What Do You Mean?were more likely to have trouble with mental disabilities than people who were into Dire Straits.Over the past few years,Spotify has been improving the ability to analyze information to help businessmen target consumers with advertisements made specially for their needs.They conclude this from the sort of music you’re listening to, combined with where and when you’re listening to it,along with third-party data that might be available.Now,to be clear,there’s nothing significantly illegal about what Spotify is doing with your information.I certainly don't think that they are working with shadowy consulting firms to serve you ads selling a culture struggle while you're listening to music that suggests you might be in a terrible situation. However,I find it disappointing that our personal,privatemoments with music are increasingly being turned into information points and offered to advertisers.You can see where this could go,can’t you?As ad targeting gets ever more accurate,businessmen will have the ability to target our feelings in potentially improper ways.According to one study,you are more likely to spend more on a product if you’re feeling sad.You can imagine some companies might take advantage of that.And on that note,I’m feeling a littledown about all this.Head off to treat myself to something expensive.40.What's the purpose of the first paragraph?A.To introduce a new song.B.To draw readers’attention.C.To help more patients.D.To promote a new medium.41.Spotify improves its ability to analyze information to______.A.provide services for the governmentB.work with shadowy consulting firmsC.get listeners'personal informationD.help businessmen attract consumers42.What s th e author’s attitude towards Spo tify?A.Uncertain.B.Supportive.C.Positive.D.Dissatisfied.43.Who is the text probably designed for?A.Internet users.B.Officials.C.Researchers.D.Managers.Passage CAn exciting landing process of Chang'e-4lunar probe(月球探测器)was seen through the monitor at Beijing Aerospace Control Center in Beijing,Jan.3,2019.It touched down on the far side of the moon at10:26 a.m.Beijing Time,becoming the first spacecraft soft-landing on the moon’s unknown side nev er visible from Earth.China’s Chang'e-4probe has started the exploration on the far side of the moon thanks to the relay satellite that provides a communication link with ground control.The relay satellite, named Queqiao,meaning Magpie Bridge,after a Chinese legend, was launched on May21,2018,and became the first communication satellite operating in the halo orbit,nearly500,000km from the earth.It can also provide communication for probes fromother countries.The relay satellite will also be used for scientific and technological experiments.The maximum distance between the satellite and the Chang'e-4probe on the far side of the moon is79,000km.The satellite processes data from the probe and sends it to Earth.The satellite can stay in its orbit for a long time due to its relatively low fuel consumption,as the earth’s and moon's gravity balances its orbital moving.While in orbit,it can“see”both the earth and the far side of the moon.The concept of using a relay satellite in the halo orbit was first put forward by U.S.space expertsin the1960s,but was realized by Chinese space engineers.Researchers hope to use the cameras on the satellite to record asteroids(小行星)hitting the far side of the moon.To control the cost of the Chang'c-4probe,the relay satellite was designed to be relatively small,weighing about400kg.Researchers had just30months to develop the satellite,putting them under high pressure.To promote public interest in spaceexploration,the China National Space Administration invited people to write down their wishes for lunar and space exploration,and the relay satellite carries the names of tens of thousands of participants and their messages.44.What do we learn from the second paragraph?A.The relay satellite was launched on Jan.3,2019.B.Chang'e-4probe was the first communication satellite.C.The relay satellite only explores the far side of the moon.D.The relay satellite can handle data from Chang'e-4probe.45.Why was the size of the relay satellite relatively small?A.To reduce the cost as much as possible.B.To make it circle Moon for a longer time.C.To avoid being crashed by other satellites.D.To follow American space experts,advice.46.What made researchers suffer from great stress?A.Few people interested in the exploration on the moon.B.The relay satellite carrying too much equipment.C.Their lacking enough time to develop the relay satellite.D.People’s never being optimistic about the relay satellite47.What is the main idea of the text?A.China is a new space power after the USA.B.Change-4probe lands on Moon’s far side.C.Chinese space engineers make much progress.D.Space exploration is a dangerous challenge.Passage DLast year marked the100th anniversary of the end of World War I.There were events around theworld in memory of those who died in the conflict.We have picked out three of them in European countries.Let's take a look.BelgiumIn a park,the famous Belgian artist Koen Vanmechelen had an exhibition called Coming World,Remember Me.The work consisted of600,000individual(单独的)clay sculptures,one for exhibition was a big egg made of clay each person killed during the World War.In the center of the exhibition was a big egg made of clay,symbolizing a new world.UKIn a small town called Aldridge.almost100houses in one street were covered with24,000poppies and statues of sold.They stood for the men from the area who had been killed in the war.The flowers were chosen because of a poem written by the Canadian doctor John McCrea in1915.They made people think offields of blood.FranceThe British artist Guy Denning arrived in La Feuille,a small town in the northwest of France,to stick life-size drawings of soldiers who never came back home.Armed with glue and a brush, Denning stuck his drawings carefully on walls.Before long112 men,ma.nly young adults,were brought back to mind,if not to life.48.What do we know about Coming World.Remember Me?A.It's the name of an exhibition.B.It's a film about World War I.C.It's a work standing for peace.D.It's a sculpture made of clay.49.Why were poppies chosen to symbolize the dead soldiers?A.The British people preferred them.B.They showed the cruelty of war.C.A Canadian doctor suggested them.D.The fields were filled with them.50.How was the end of World War I marked in France?A.A memorial to the dead soldiers was built.B.112wounded soldiers in the war were helped.C.Drawings of some dead soldiers were put up.D.Young adults were encouraged to join the army.Part IV Skimming and Scanning(10%)Technology in education:Current trendsA)Computers and Internet connections are becoming widelyavailable in schools and classrooms.In1999,99percent of teachers in the United States had access to a computer in their schools,and84percent had one or more computers in their classrooms.At the same time,Internet connections were also widespread,with95percent of schools and63percent of classrooms having access.Worldwide,many countries are making the creation and diffusion of information and communications technology(ICT)an important priority.The use of technology to find educational resourcesB)In the past,teachers attempting a problem-based curriculum felt the need to limit problems to those for which they had expertise or the local library had resources.Now the World Wide Web brings a seemingly endless amount of information on almost any subject,and it is possible for students to choose topics based on personal interest rather than availability of resources.C)Internet research projects are gaining popularity.In the spring of1998,30percent of teachers surveyed(and70percent of those with high-speed Internet connections)reported they had assigned Internet research tasks to their students duringthe school e of the Internet to gather information for solving problems sometimes resembles a modern version of library research,in which students gather and synthesize information from published reports.Despite the fact that the task seems traditional,the characteristics of this new medium require special skills for students.The sheer volume of information allows students to study almost any topic,but also makes it more difficult to locate precisely the right information from among the thousands,or even millions,of sites. In addition,the ease of publishing materials on the Internet increases the likelihood that students will encounter inaccurate or biased information.As a result,students must learn new strategies for conducting searches and evaluating the information thatthey retrieve.D)Students carrying out scientific investigations can use the Internet to make observations and collect data.For example, the fourth and fifth graders in California collected insects and sent them to San Diego State ing two-way audio and video connecting the school and the university,scientists guided the students in using an electron microscope to examinetheir specimens.Technology has made it possible to collect data from places students could never visit.In recent projects,high school students explored the floor of the Monterey Bay by studying the video from remotely operated robots,and middle school students were given time to use the Hubble telescope. Students also use technology to collect data in their schools and communities.For example,using handheld computers outfitted with various types of probes(探测仪),students can monitor the water quality at various locations in nearby streams or lakes.By transmitting their individual readings to a laptop computer in a field laboratory they can quickly graph their data and visually compare readings.The use of technology to summarize and present findingsE)In the past,students memorized and used formulas and models created by others to solve problems.Students often used these formulas,especially in the early stages of learning,with little understanding.In the early21st century computer tools provide the opportunity for students to construct and test their own models using tools such as spreadsheets(电子制表软件)or concept maps(概念图).This type of instruction deepens students'understanding of abstract concepts and allows theseconcepts to be taught at an earlier age.F)Once students have summarized their data and other information,they typically communicate their findings to others.Writing reports is still the most widespread use of ICT, with61percent of US teachers assigning students word-processing tasks.In addition to text,students also use computer-created graphics,videos,and animations to communicate their ideas.G)The teacher is not the only audience for students' presentations.Students frequently expect to present their work to and receive feedback from their peers and the world outside their classroom.Whether they are using presentation software to accompany a face-to也cepresentation or developing materials to put on the Web,the trend is for students to be able to communicate their work to a broad audience.This increases students'perception that problem-based learning is real work for real audiences.The use of technology for collaboration and distance educationH)There are many opportunities for individual students to use technology to enhance their learning.These include online courses that provide students in remote locations with opportunities for customized curriculum and advanced placement courses(先修课程).These courses are conducted entirely online and offer asynchronous(异步的)interaction among faculty and students.Because they allow students to participate anytime and from anywhere,online courses are becoming increasingly popular among postsecondary(高等教育)students whose job and personal commitments do not allow them to meet a regular class schedule.I)Opportunities for interaction with peers from other countries can also contribute to knowledge and understanding of other cultures.ICT makes this type of communication possible for anyone with Internet access.For example,the Kidlink project encourages students up to age15to use the Internet to build a global network of friends.Kidlink participants discuss issues ranging from how to make and keep friends to war and peace.J)Monitoring students'independent learning in these flexible environments will be supported by sophisticated new assessmenttechnologies that will help teachers collect and analyze students'data and make instructional decisions.These tools will continually assess students'work and provide feedback to them and their teachers.Such assessment has the potential to make time-consuming standardized testing unnecessary and to personalize the curriculum for every student.Ubiquitous,well-integrated technology tools will bring educators closer to redefine the educational enterprise and provide customized, just-in-time solutions for the learning needs of students. ____1Students find it more difficult to locate the right information from among a large number of websites.____2Teachers will use sophisticated new technologies to assess students'learning in flexible environments and make instructional decisions.____3Collecting information from the Internet is similar to that in the library as students obtain published reports and process the information in both cases.____4While teachers had to limit problems to those with resources in the process of teaching in the past,students nowadays can make their own interest-based choices because ofa large amount of information available on many subjects.____5Students of higher education prefer online courses to those given at fixed time and in fixed places due to their other businesses.____6The Kidlink project encourages students up to15to make foreign friends and have discussions about a wide range of issues on the Internet.____7Many countries around the world prioritize the creation and spread of ICT.____8By means of two-way audio and video,scientists in San Diego State University instructed the fourth-and fifth-grade students in California to observe specimens with electronic devices.____9Face-to-face presentations accompanied by software indicate the trend that students can communicate their work with more people.____10Because of computer tools,abstract concepts can be better understood by students and be taught at an earlier age.Part V Translation(10%)1.孔子的许多思想,尤其是教育思想,对中国社会产生了深远的影响。

For each of them the re are four choices marked A),B),C) and D). you should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Clothes play a critical part in the conclusions we reach by providing clues to who people are, who they are not, and who they would like to be. They tell us a good deal about the wearer's background, personality, status, mood, and social outlook.Since clothes are such an important source of social information, we can use them to manipulate people's impression of us. Our appearance assumes particular significance in the initial phases of interaction that is likely to occur. An elderly middle-class man or woman may be alienated(疏远) by a young adult who is dressed in an unconventional manner, regardless of the person's education, background, or interests.People tend to agree on what certain types of clothes mean. Adolescent girls can easily agree on the lifestyles of girls who wear certain outfits(套装), including the number of boyfriends they likely have had and whether they smoke or drink. Newscasters, or the announcers who read the news on TV, are considered to be more convincing, honest, and competent when they are dressed conservatively. And collage students who view themselves as taking an active role in their inter personalrelationships say they are concerned about the costumes they must wear to play these roles successfully. Moreover, many of us can relate instances in which the clothing we wore changed the way we felt about ourselves and how we acted. Perhaps you have used clothing to gain confidence when you anticipated a stressful situation, such as a job interview, or a court appearance.In the workplace, men have long had well-defined precedents and role models for achieving success. It has been otherwise for women. A good many women in the business world areuncertain about the appropriate mixture of "masculine" an d "feminine" attributes they should convey by their professional clothing. The variety of clothing alternatives to women has also been greater than that avail able for men. Male administrators tend to judge women more favorably for managerial positions when the women display less "feminine" grooming(打扮)-shorter hair, moderate use of makeup, and plain tailored clothing. As one male administrator confessed, "An attractive woman is definitely going to get a longer interview, but she won't get a job."21. According to the passage, the way we dress __________.A) provides clues for people who are critical of usB) indicates our likes and dislikes in choosing a careerC) has a direct influence on the way people regard usD) is of particular importance when we get on in age22. From the third paragraph of the passage, we can conclude that young adults t end tobelieve that certain types of clothing can __________.A) change people's conservative attitudes toward their lifestyleB) help young people make friends with the opposite sexC) make them competitive in the job marketD) help them achieve success in their interpersonal relationships23. The word "precedent" (Line 1, Para.4) probably refers to __________ .A) early acts for men to follow as examplesB) particular places for men to occupy especially because of their importanceC) things that men should agree uponD) men's beliefs that everything in the world has already been decided24. According to the passage, many career women find themselves in difficult situations because __________.A) the variety of professional clothing is too wide for them to chooseB) women are generally thought to be only good at being fashion modelsC) men are more favorably judged for managerial positionsD) they are not sure to what extent they should display their feminine qualitiesthrough clothing25. What is the passage mainly about?A) Dressing for effect. B) How to dress appropriately.C) Managerial positions and clothing. D) Dressing for the occasionPassage 2Who coined the term personal computer? The Oxford English Dictionary says Byte magazine used it first, in its May 1976 issue. But Yale Law School librarian Fred Shapiro decided to do some digging on his own his own, with help from JSTOR, anonline electronic database foracademic journals. JSTOR’s arts and sciences archive offers scans of 5 million pages from 117 journals, some dating back 150 years. Using character-recognition software, JSTOR creates searchable files for each document, allowing full-text searches across 15 academic fields.While searching for the origin of personal computer, Shapiro uncovered several competing claims. Stewart Brand, founder of Whole Earth Catalog, says on his Web site that he first referred to a “personal computer” in a 1974 book; a nd GUI pioneer Alan Kay is said to have used the term in a paper published in 1972.But a search on JSTOR’s general science archive turned up what Shapiro says is the earliest recorded use of personal computer, in the October 4, 1968, issue of Science. The issue contains a Hewlett-Packard advertisement for its new HP 9100A. “The new Hewlett-Packard 9100A personal computer,” the advertisement says, is “ready, willing and able… to relieve you of waiting to get on the big computer ” The $4,900device, a desktop scientific calculator equipped with magnetic cards doesn’t seem like much of a computer nowadays. And at 40 pounds, it wasn’t very personal, either. But according to Shapiro, it was the first device to be called a personal computer.21.The term “personal computer” first appeared_______.A in Byte magazineB in a 1974 book.C in a Hewlett-Packard ad in ScienceD in a paper published by Alan Kay22.What is JSTOR?A It is a research organization.B It is an online database.C It is a kind of computer software.D It is an academic journal.23.Shapiro succeeded in his search for the origin of the term personal computer by_______.A looking into the Oxford English DictionaryB digging into magazines that are more than 150 years oldC focusing on academic journals such as ScienceD scanning JSTOR’s general science archive on line24.With a HP9100A, according to the Hewlett-Packard advertisement, you ___________.A can save a lot of moneyB don’t have to get on the big computerC will be willing and ready to do scientific workD can easily get on the big computer.25.What do we learn from the passage about the first device that was called a personalcomputer?A It looked very different from the PC we know today.B It was as efficient as a big computer.C It relieved people of a great deal of tedious work.D It was small, light and easy to carry around.Passage 3To understand how Americans think about things, it is necessary to understand “ the point.”Americans mention it often: “Let’s get right to the point,”they will say. “My point is…”“ What’s the point of all this”The “point” is the idea or piece of information that Americans suppose is, or should be, at the center of people’s thinking, writings, and spoken comments. Speakers and writers are supposed to “ make their points clear,” meaning that theyare supposed to say or write clearly the idea or piece of information they wish to express.People from many other cultures have different ideas about the point. Africans traditionally tell stories that express the thoug hts they have in mind, rather than stating “the point”clearly. Japanese traditionally speak indirectly, leaving the listener to figure out what the point is. Thus, while an American might say to a friend, “I don’t think that coat goes very well with the re st of your outfit,” a Japanese might say, “Maybe this other coat would look even better than the one you have on.” Americans value a person who “ gets right to the point.” Japanese are likely to consider such a person insensitive if not rude.The Chinese and Japanese languages are characterized by vagueness and ambiguity. The precision and directness Americans associate with “the point”cannot be achieved, at least not with any grace, in Chinese and Japanese. Speakers of those languages thus have to learn a new way of reasoning and expressing their ideas if they are going to communicate satisfactorily with Americans.31 According to the passage, Americans expect speakers and writers to_______A be clear about their main ideasB give as much information as possibleC express their personal viewsD be honest about their true feelings32. Which of following peoples will tell a story to express what they have in mind?A AmericansB AfricansC JapaneseD Chinese33. In the sentence “ I don’t think that coat goes very well with the rest of your outfit”, the word“outfit” most probably means__________A officeB timeC speechD clothes34. According to the passage, Japanese may consider it unacceptable to be_____.A indirectB straightforwardC poorly-dressedD curious35. In order to communicate with Americans satisfactorily, speakers of Chinese needto__________A learn the language wellB change their way of thinkingC be careful about their choice of wordsD explain their reasons clearlyPassage 4The idea of respect comes from the concept that everyone, including yourself, has self-worth, and therefore should be treated with dignity. Say, for example, that you’re having a discussion with your boyfriend or girlfriend and your opinions are different. While you may disagree with each other, each of you still has a right to your own feelings. You can show each other respect by sticking to your own values or beliefs while agreeingto disagree. Calling someone names or making fun of them because they think, act, or look differently deprives them of their dignity, and is disrespectful. It is important to treat others fairly and with respect, just as you would want to be treated yourself.Can you think of times when someone has or hasn’t shown you respect? How did it feel? What could that person have done differently?Each person in a relationship has a level of responsibility. This means that if you’ve committed yourself to something, it’s up to you to carry it out and see it through. This can include anything from saying you’ll call someone at a certain time and then calling that person, to deciding what you would do if you or your girlfriend had to make an important decision. What does responsibility mean to you? Have there been times when someone you know committed to so mething and then didn’t follow through? How did that make you feel?Whenever you think about responsibility, it’s a good idea to keep respect in the back of your mind—and vice versa. There are respectful ways of handling responsibilities, and there are disrespectful ways. And no matter what happens, we must all answer for our own actions. The best relationships are developed when people respect one another and take responsibility for themselves and for their role in the relationship. According to the writer, it is important to respect other people because___________.36. A. everybody needs to keep his own dignityB. everybody needs other people’s supportC. no discussion is possible if respect is neglectedD. no agreement can be reached without respect37. Though people may have different opinions, they can still pay respect to each other _________.A. by telling some jokes to each otherB.by persuading other people to accept their own opinionsC. by agreeing to accept each other’s opinions laterD.by allowing each other to hold different beliefs38.What kind of responsibility is talked about in the passage?A. General responsibilities concerning the environment.B. Responsibilities concerning human relationships.C. Social responsibility.D. Family responsibility.39.The writer tries to impress the importance of responsibility on the readers by__________.A. emphasizing the appropriate use of the telephoneB. listing a lot of examples of responsible peopleC .asking them about their personal experiencesD cri ticizing some people’s lack of responsibility40.We can conclude from the passage that_________.A. respect and responsibility exist in all relationshipsB. respect is connected with dignity and responsibilityC. good relationships can not be created and maintained unless we always agree to disagreeD. young people tend to forget their responsibilities most of the timePart III.
